Without primer, makeup can settle into pores and fine lines, creating a cakey appearance. Primer smooths skin for a flawless, youthful look.

Excess powder can emphasize dryness and wrinkles, making skin look dull. Use a light hand or opt for a setting spray instead.

Dark, matte lipstick can make lips appear thinner and draw attention to fine lines. Choose softer shades with a glossy finish for a plumper look.

Sparse or unshaped brows can age your face. Fill in brows naturally to frame your face and create a youthful, lifted appearance.

Over-applying concealer under the eyes can emphasize fine lines and create a cakey look. Use a lightweight, hydrating formula sparingly.

Thick, dark eyeliner can make eyes appear smaller and more tired. Opt for a softer, smudged line to open up the eyes.

Lack of blush can make your complexion look flat and dull. A soft blush adds warmth and a healthy glow to your face.
