Makeup Tips

• Lighter eye shadow colors take attention away from crow's feet and drooping eyelids and lighten up your face.

• Draw a thin line when applying eyeliner and apply one coat of mascara rather than using heavy, thick eye makeup.

• Do not apply eyeliner or mascara to lower eyelids to draw attention away from wrinkles.

• Dab concealer under the eye to cover up wrinkles

• Use natural colors on cheekbones instead of bright pinks, corals, or reds.

• Invest in a good eye cream to diminish the appearance of wrinkles

• Make sure you choose a foundation that matches your natural skin color. Test the color on your jawline. It should disappear on your skin.

• Groom your eyebrows. A good eyebrow shape has the same effect as a mini eyelift. Use powder shadow to fill in the shape.

Hairstyle Tips

• Opt for bangs—they can create a youthful appearance and hide forehead wrinkles

• Increase volume at the crown of the head to draw eyes upward.

• Decrease volume around the jawline.

• Color your hair to add dimension and shine.
