How do I apply make up so that I look older?

Answer 1

I'm not sure really why you'd want to look older. Seriously, you should try to look your age. But, if you hadn't noticed people in their 20's and 30's that aren't like.. trying to hard to impress some, don't really wear much make-up. They wear mascara, and really like the "Dramatic Eye" look. To get that "Dramatic Eye" look, use VolumeExact mascara by CoverGirl, LineExact by CoverGirl (but if you don't like liquid liner, I suggest using such a Very Black pencil liner), and blues, aquas, and purples are really in with the 20 year olds now. They like to swipe the eye shadow from tops lashline to the end of your eye (the one closer to your nose..) and they also do the same on the bottom lashline, but, not a THICK line. Then swipe a little eyeshadow (A diffrent color than you used on your eyelid) under the eyebrow. And, velve lips look older. To make a velvet lip, take a lipstick like Wet n Wild Silk Finish Lipstick in Berry Frost (you can find it in drugstores such as CVS). First you put the lipstick on your finger, and put the color on your lip with your finger. Then you blot with a tissue, and dab on a second layer (with your finger again) of lipstick. If you don't like the Wet n Wild color I suggested, look for other rose colors. And, your cheeks should be lightly powder with a rose color, also. Try Jane Be Pure Mineral Blush in Rose Satin. Use a powder brush to dust the apples of your cheecks (smile to find them) in a circular motion and then blend upward toward your temples. But, don't apply too much blush, you might start to look like a cherry. Especially since you have lighter skin. Try the look, and it doesn't cost to much. The blush is $5 at drugstors, the lipstick is $1, the eye shadow is $3-5, the mascara is like $4, and liner can range in price. Have fun with the look! Expiriment with the different products I suggested to you, Or combine them to make on look! It looks really nice :)

Answer 2

Don't's:
-Have really bright lip glosses
-Make your makeup clumpy and messy
-Go overboard
-Experiment with the makeup in the morning right before you leave the house. Experiment with it the day before so you know how it looks like.
-If you're a teen (like me), don't try to look too old...it will be awkward instead of chic

Do's:
-Pick colors that suit you
-Ask a few friends or family how you look before you leave the house
-Look at magazines and pick the women you think are pretty, and try to copy their look
-Pencil eyeliner is easier to put on than liquid
-If you're going to buy at a dept. store, go to a brand stand that will let you sample the makeup
-Instead of thinking how pretty it looks in the package or the celeb, think of how it'll look on YOU
