In brief
Makeup mistakes that age you, plus a Dollar Tree beauty fix. Erica Taylor reveals makeup errors that make women look older and suggests quick fixes using affordable products. Originally reported by Woman's World.
Too-light concealer
Wearing a concealer shade too light for your skin tone emphasizes dryness and fine lines.
“Wearing a concealer that’s a shade too light for your complexion (a trend popular in the mid-2010s) can bring more attention to under-eye texture, leaving the area looking tired rather than brighter”
Too-light foundation
An overly matte or too-light foundation makes your face look flat and highlights dryness.
“An overly matte or too-light foundation can make your face look flat and bring attention to dryness and texture, which are more common problems as we age”
Black eyeliner on waterline
Black eyeliner in the waterline highlights redness and makes eyes look smaller.
“Black eyeliner in the waterline can highlight redness in the eyes (often triggered by dry eye that flares up in midlife) and make the eyes look smaller”
Blush too low on face
Applying blush and bronzer too low on the face pulls the face downward.
“When blush and bronzer are applied too low on the face, they can visually pull the face downward”
Baking under eyes
Heavy baking under eyes settles into texture and fine lines, making them more noticeable.
“Heavy baking [applying a thick layer of powder to ‘set’ makeup before brushing it off] is not my favorite technique for mature skin, especially underneath the eyes”
Hydrating skin prep
Gentle exfoliation and hydration create a smoother canvas for makeup that looks fresher.
“Beautiful makeup starts with good skin prep. Gentle exfoliation can help remove surface buildup and create a smoother canvas for makeup”
Affordable beauty picks
Global Beauty Care Hydrating Double Face Serum costs $1.25 and is a Dollar Tree find.
“This is one of my favorite budget finds. I discovered the Global Beauty Care Double Serum at Dollar Tree, and it has gone viral with my community”
Quick fixes for youthful look
Using hydrating products before makeup creates a smoother, fresher finish that looks more youthful.
“I love hydrating primers, eye balms, serums and creams instead of overly matte or heavy blurring primers”
