7 YEARS YOUNGER IN 7 STEPS

You really don't have to undergo major surgery or get some injections to look years younger. Well okay, maybe later, but for now you can also shave off a few years with some good brushes and the best foundation. It's just a matter of getting started smartly with the right products and looking closely at your own face.

1. The base

It's not so strange that a good base provides the freshest appearance. But it's very important that you choose the right color. If you don't quite get it right, you can end up looking five years older. So it's important that you look very fresh. Ultra-thin foundations are a must. A highlight creates a brighter look.

2. Shaping

Apply the tricks of Kim Kardashian because they are of course very important. You can change the shape of your face. Tighter, softer, fuller, a less prominent forehead, or whatever. With darker products, you don't necessarily have to create a different skin tone, but you can emphasize points on your face that you want to highlight more and try to hide other points.

3. Eyeliner

This gives your eye a natural lift. It does take quite a bit of practice to get the right wing because if you apply it too thick, you can actually look older. The wing should extend from the outer corner of your eye upwards. It follows the line of your lower lash line. Yes, it's just a lot of hassle, but once everything is in the right place, it can take off a year.

4. Mascara

Use a lot of mascara, but without it smudging. Because then it can make you look a bit tired. Use a fine brush, then you get those beautifully elongated lashes, but not that greasy effect. If you have a tired appearance under your eyes, it's better not to apply mascara on your lower lashes, because that creates a kind of harsh shadow that you actually don't want.

5. Lip color

Make sure to choose a color that makes your teeth look whiter. A nice red color with blue in it, for example, gives a fresh look.

6. Shine

Highlights are good for the look, but avoid too much shine and glitter. It all seems very cool and trendy, but it actually gives you a tired look and makes you appear older.

7. Eyebrow

Change nothing, absolutely nothing about your eyebrows. Seriously, it's such a shame. If you have a very thin one, you can certainly fill it in, because the full eyebrow looks good, but definitely don't go at it with tweezers. Really don't do that. What you can do is wax your eyebrows. This makes the skin look smoother and therefore younger.
