A little makeup goes a long way in hiding a woman's age


Rx for Brown Skin for African American skin care products

Many women try to conceal their age by layering on heavy amount of makeup. While it may be tempting to try to look younger by hiding behind your African American skin care product, heavy makeup can actually make you look older. Recently, the Sydney Morning Herald ran an article detailing the right ways to use cosmetics to reduce the effects of aging. 


The news provider spoke to makeup experts who suggested that you should start with well-moisturized skin before adding foundation.


"Foundation should never be applied to dry skin because the color pigment in the foundation will stick to dead skin cells," said makeup artist Heike Falkenstein, quoted by the news source.


Allure magazine reports that wearing a little concealer can really help you look younger. Putting a small amount of concealer around the inner corners of the eyes can reduce the appearance of dark circles and sun spots.


The magazine also suggested using a light foundation or a tinted moisturizer on lined skin rather than a pressed powder, which may intensify the appearance of wrinkles.
