Look younger with these makeup tricks

Jan 12, 2009 by FN's Trixie Reyna

lips.jpgYou browse through photos you’ve taken from recent holiday parties, and you notice that fine lines have begun to appear around your eyes, which become more pronounced when you smile. You also note that your complexion seems to scream “I’m aging!” even under makeup, for some reason.

What you don’t know is your makeup might actually be the culprit for aging you so quickly. But as always, makeup can be your most faithful ally in highlighting your beauty and masking certain flaws—in this case, signs of aging. Here are a few makeup tricks from TotalBeauty.com and Beauty.about.com to help you look younger:

1. Use lip gloss instead of dark lipstick. Our lips get thinner and drier with age, and darker lip color only highlights fine lines around our lips. Toss all your brown lip color, especially if they’re in matte finish. Your best bet are glosses that make your lips look fuller, more supple, and of course, more youthful.
