Makeup Mistakes That Age You (And Simple Fixes)

1. Using the Wrong Foundation

Choosing a foundation that’s too heavy or mismatched can make skin look dull and emphasize fine lines.

• Pick a lightweight foundation with a radiant or dewy finish.
  
  

• Avoid matte formulas that can make mature skin appear flat.
  
  

• Blend well into your neck for a seamless, youthful glow.
  
  

2. Applying Too Much Powder

Powder is great for setting makeup but using too much can dry out your skin and settle into wrinkles.

• Use a light dusting only on oily areas like the T-zone.
  
  

• Choose finely milled or hydrating powders.
  
  

• Swap in a setting spray to lock in moisture and freshness.
  
  

3. Overloading on Under-Eye Concealer

Caking on concealer can actually draw more attention to fine lines and puffiness.

• Use a creamy, lightweight concealer and blend it gently.
  
  

• Choose shades that correct your undertone, not just lighten.
  
  

• A small amount goes a long way—less really is more.
  
  

 Pro Tip: Pair your concealer with Thin Lizzy’s Puffy Eye Remover Microcream for visibly smoother under-eyes in minutes. This fast-absorbing formula helps reduce puffiness and fine lines quickly, making your concealer work even better.

4. Neglecting Your Brows and Lashes

Overplucked brows or barely-there lashes can make your face look tired and less defined.

• Fill in sparse brows with a soft pencil or brow powder.
  
  

• Curl your lashes and use a volumizing mascara.
  
  

• Avoid harsh, dark lines go for softness and structure.
  
  

5. Wearing Harsh Lip Colors

Dark, matte shades can make lips appear thinner and draw attention to lines around your mouth.

• Choose creamy lipsticks in soft pinks, corals, or nudes.
  
  

• Use a subtle lip gloss to create a plumper effect.
  
  

• Outline your lips with a matching liner for definition without looking overdone.
