Go gold in your foundation if you’re over age 50.
Gold tones will neutralize redness, counteract that gray pallor, and make you look healthier and younger.
Choose a shadow color that is the opposite of your eye color.
This makeup trick will bring out the color of your eyes. If you have blue eyes, wear a shade that has brown, copper, bronze, plum or terracotta tones. Enhance brown eyes with blues, purples and greens.
Line the upper inner rims (waterlines) of your eyes with a dark waterproof color.
It will make you look fresh and awake.
Dab a bit of Vaseline or shiny lip gloss on the middle of your lower lip.
This gives the appearance of a fuller mouth, which makes you look younger. Try to avoid dark colors, which make lips look smaller.
