Makeup can boost our confidence by highlighting our best facial features and making our skin look well-nourished, but have you ever noticed that sometimes it can make you look older? None of us are safe from choosing the wrong makeup strategies sometimes.
To help you avoid makeup mistakes, Bright Side lists the most common mistakes that can add years to your look:
1. Putting on a lot of concealer
While we want to create the perfect matte effect, many of us make the mistake of applying too much concealer, and if you choose the wrong color and apply too thick a layer, you will end up accentuating wrinkles and making your face look dull. To avoid this, top makeup artists advise staying away from thick concealers. Instead, opt for a liquid, and it will make your skin look healthy and natural without weighing it down.

2. Excessive use of mascara on the lower eyelashes
Using mascara to touch up those lower lashes and accentuate the edges of the eyes can give your eyes more expressiveness, on the other hand, putting a lot of mascara on your lashes will divert everyone’s attention to the wrinkles around your eyes, no matter how small those wrinkles are, thicker mascara will make them stand out.

3. Choosing the wrong lipstick color
Lipstick can do wonders for your image, but don’t forget if your lips are naturally tight, you should avoid using dark lipstick, darker colors are more likely to make your lips look thinner.
If you want your lips to look fuller, lipstick can also come in handy, and all you have to do is go beyond your natural lip line.

4. Applying dark eyeshadow the wrong way
Be careful not to apply shadows to the entire lid area, as this will make you look older, and the right thing to do is to dab only on the outer corners of your eyes.

Placing dark eyeliner on the lower eyelid will make your eyes appear narrow, and to counteract the effect, use a lighter makeup pen instead.
