Makeup Tips That Erase 10 YearsThese simple makeup color and formula changes will have you looking younger in a flash |

How you'd pocket your mom's lipstick and wait until you got to the bathroom at school to put it on? And, how you logged countless hours in front of the bathroom mirror experimenting with different colors and ways to draw on eyeliner until you hit on just the right combo?
Makeup is transcendent. With it, our possibilities are infinite. A mere sweep of a brush or pat with a sponge can cover our flaws, accentuate our best features and add a little whimsy to any occasion. And, perhaps best of all (especially when you reach a certain age) properly — and strategically — placed shades and formulations can impart the illusion of youth. It's true.
See the makeup tips that erase 10 years now.
Simply swapping a harsh dark color for a subtler one or trading your powder products for creamier versions can make a world of difference in how your (formerly youthful) face appears in the mirror — and to the world. Plus, certain application techniques and tricks of the trade can work to magically give the appearance of lift in the areas where aging faces need it most.
To find out the best ways to use makeup to turn back time (if only until you wash your face at night) we talked to several noted makeup artists, including Nick Barose and Sonia Kashuk, who were only too happy to share their expertise. So, if you're curious to see how some small switches in your regimen can make a big difference, see the makeup tips that erase 10 years now.

I recently noticed how my beloved pink shimmer eye shadows are making me look tired. I read this article and switched to satin neutral tones and I'm amazed at the difference.

Pretty much common sense. As you age makeup tends to pool up into fine lines. Less is usually best.

Excellent tips! All true. I wish was at least one tip that was something new to me, which is the only reason I didn't give it 10 stars. Good reminders though.

I found this useful. I still believe the best 'accessory' to have is a smile!
