1. LIFT YOUR BROWSHigh, full brows look youthful and help

define all your features, says Los Angeles

makeup artist Brett Freedman. Use a

brow powder or pencil a shade lighter

than your hair color to fill in sparse

areas, then sweep a fine line right above

the top of the arch. Try Wet n Wild Twin

Eye/Brow Pencil ($2.50, drugstore.com).

2. CAMOUFLAGE CROW’S FEET

Nix heavy cover-up, which makes lines

more obvious, says Matin Maulawizada

of Laura Mercier Cosmetics. Instead,

brighten the area with concealer under

the outer third of your lower lashes and

a creamy highlighter such as Benefit Ooh

La Lift ($22, benefitcosmetics.com) just

below any lines.

3. REDUCE “PARENTHESES”To diminish the lines that run from your

nose to your mouth, apply concealer one

shade lighter than your skin over the

shadow below the fold only, not over

the entire crease, says Maulawizada.

This pro trick reduces the appearance

of a defined edge. Try Laura Mercier

Secret Camouflage

($34, lauramercier.com)

4. PEP UP YOUR POUT“The sides of the mouth tend to droop

with age,” says Joanna Schlip, makeup

art ist for Physicians Formula. “To

lessen the effect, brush highlighter on

the corners and concealer just below

the outer edges of your lower lip to

minimize shadows.” Try Sonia Kashuk

Mul t i-Purpose Ny lon Brush ($16,

soniakashuk.com).

5. SLIM A DOUBLE CHINApply a light layer of foundation or

matte bronzer two shades darker than

your skin under your chin, shading over

any jowl, suggests Maulawizada. Try

Rimmel London Natural Bronzer ($5,

ulta.com). Blend toward your neck,

using a sponge or brush.
