Steer clear of makeup that's heavily frosted or too metallic. Frosts and metallic colors accentuate every little line and imperfection on the face!

As we get older, we tend to get lines around the lips, which can cause lipstick to bleed. Use a lip liner to seal lipstick as well as shape the lips. Neutral colors are best. Also, avoid high gloss lipsticks, as they tend to bleed quicker than cream formulas. Instead, go with a dewy moisturizing lipstick. For extra staying power, dab a concealer brush in a drop of foundation and trace your lips with it. This does double duty, creating a seal around the lips as well as highlighting the area around your lips, which makes lips look more defined.

Frame your face with your eyebrows

One of the fastest ways to give yourself a face-lift is through your eyebrows. Tweeze your brows to create an arch, then fill in brows with a soft powder or powder brow pencil. Avoid eyeliner! I know it may seem like a quick fix, but it can give you a hard look.
