Except fine lines and wrinkles, there are some common makeup mistakes and beauty blunders that make a woman look much older than her real age. To help you look younger and beautiful, the team of Mangal Parinay decides to throw some light on most common mistakes, avoiding which can assist you to hide your actual age.

• Eyebrows

Believe it, the natural arc on your face can really take years off your face but it is necessary to shape your eyebrows. Say a big no to thin eyebrows and overplucked eyebrows as it makes your overall look disgusting.

• Eyelashes

Ditch those fake eyelashes for an everyday look and go for a smudge-free mascara. Remember, applying heavy mascara on the bottom lashes can create the illusion of dark circles. Keep the mascara clean and tight.

• Foundation

Your foundation needs change as you age. If you are using the same shade of foundation since 10th grade, it is time to check new shade that matches your skin tone.

Also, dry skin is common as you get older, drop powder foundation and go for liquid or cream foundation. Apply the foundation evenly so that it blends well with your skin tone else it will highlight your imperfections (fine lines and wrinkles)

• Concealer

Other than foundation, concealer can accentuate fine lines under your eyes if not used with perfection. Choose the good quality concealer that blends evenly into your skin.

• Cheeks

To cast an instant glow to your face, use the large brush to blush your cheeks. Matching the color over the apples of your cheeks will help you to get that dewy youthfulness.

• Lip liner

Lip liner plays a great role to cut down your age. Sometimes, bleeding of lipstick draws special attention towards fine lines that emerge around the mouth. A good lip liner helps your lipstick to remain on lips.

• Selection of the wrong bra

Agree it or not! The bra you wear can make you look taller, thinner, heavier or older. The wrong sized bra isn’t just uncomfortable but it also affects the fitting of your outfits that tend to add years to your age.

Since your breast size changes/fluctuates due to hormones, weight gain or weight loss, it is recommended to purchase a new set of bras every eight to ten months.

• Hairstyle

The crowning glory over your head makes you look young or vice versa. A wrong cut and color have the ability to adds years to your age. Find your ideal haircut, hairdo or hairstyle that makes you look young and can hide that forehead wrinkles. Don’t forget to massage and condition your hair with oil twice a week.

• Neck

The skin around your neck is sensitive and more prone to sagging as you age. Clean the neck area thoroughly to keep it spot free. Applying a good moisturizer and sunscreen lotion is a must.

So, all the beautiful ladies, adapt these essential beauty tips in your beauty care regime to keep people guessing about your real age for the years to come.
