Avoid dark shades on your lips. Use a light, rosy red or flesh colored lipstick instead which is more flattering. Stay away from oranges and peaches as well as they can make your teeth look yellow. Golden rule – don’t ever wear just lipstick without other makeup. If you don’t wear other makeup skip the lipstick cause it will make you look older.

2. Lighten Dark Circles

With time the fragile skin around the eyes gets even thinner and veins start to show up. Using a proper concealer can brighten up your eyes and give them a youthful look. Choose a yellow-based concealer which is 2 shades lighter than your skin. Use a small headed concealer brush or your ring finger to tap and blend.

3. Shimmery Shadow

You would like to cover the veins, lines and spots on your face by wearing a foundation – but you have to choose smart. If you are lucky enough to need minimal coverage go for an anti aging tinted face cream with sunscreen. If you need more coverage go for medium coverage foundations based on silicone.
