Update your haircut and color

The fastest way to update your look is to get a haircut. Just cutting off split ends makes a difference. While you're at the salon, talk to a colorist. Subtle highlights or lowlights can also do wonders for your total look. You'll feel like a new person!

Make sure your makeup isn't aging you

If you're stuck in a makeup rut, chances are you've been applying makeup the same way for years. If that's the case, it's time to reevaluate. Do you use black eye liner? It can age you 10 years. Switch to softer colors, like deep purple or navy. Do you cover your entire face with foundation? There's no need to with today's formulations; just apply it to the areas that need coverage. Is your lip liner darker than your lipstick? That looks heavy and dull. Your liner should match your lipstick perfectly.

Have your eyebrows professionally shaped

Getting your eyebrows shaped will instantly lift your face, draw attention to your eyes and give you polish. Once you have them shaped at a salon, they're much easier to maintain with tweezers at home. As we all know, the eyes have it -- so frame them well!
