Common Beauty Mistakes That Take Away from Your Youth


Your goal is to shed years off your look not add them. Here are a few common mistakes women make while applying make-up that leaves them looking older.

THICK FOUDATION is often a mistake. Everyone wants their skin looking perfect but showing more of your natural skin is as perfect as it gets. We understand all skin has blemishes, so instead of covering up your whole face, use a concealer for noticeable blemishes and apply a thinner foundation all over instead of a thick cakey foundation. If you’re not a fan of liquid foundation then try a mineral foundation which will allow your natural glow to shine through. Natural looking hydrated skin leaves you looking much younger than a noticeably covered up face.



FACE POWDER on top of lines, wrinkles and creases is a mistake that leaves your skin looking dry which in return makes you look older. Of course no one wants shine, so focus on powdering only your nose and chin area. Stay clear of your eyes completely!! We don’t want any creases around your eyes to stand out.

MASCARA on your bottom lashes causes dark circles around your eyes to stand out, something we definitely don’t want. Try using mascara on your top lashes only and use an eyelash curler. This will help make your eyes stand out and look bigger which will give you a younger, fresher look!

So whether you’re sporting a designer bikini on your fall cruise or going out to dinner with the girls be sure to test out these make up tips to keep you looking flawless and ageless!

In terms of fashion, this is definitely my favorite time of year – I especially love the bold pops of color that are trending this season. And of course, the layers! But unfortunately, being bundled up in sweaters and coats doesn’t quite give me the motivation to work out. I won’t be sporting a bikini any time soon anyways so what’s the point, right? Wrong! We’re all aiming for that perfect beach body once Spring rolls along, so why not start working for it now?
