It's nice when you look younger than your age. Unfortunately, sometimes the opposite happens. Therefore, it is necessary to know some things that especially age. What adds years, what factors.
We all dream of looking young even at sixty or seventy years old. But, unfortunately, on the street you can increasingly meet young girls who look forty at eighteen. What to do to avoid being one of them? So that age pleases and men admire? Today we will look at mistakes in behavior, hairstyle, style and makeup that turn women into grandmothers, and learn how to avoid them.
"Tired" skin
Andrey, 40: «48-52».
Victor, 26: “48. Beautiful, but aged."
In fact: Winona Ryder is 48 years old.
Winona, in her youth, after breaking up with handsome Johnny Depp, fundamentally decided to never get married, to love only herself and to live for her own pleasure. It would seem that under such conditions the actress should have plenty of energy to take care of her skin. But her favorite cigarettes played a cruel joke on her: Winona turned into a classic example of a “smoker’s face.” Thin, dull skin, swelling, rosacea on the cheeks and a “tired” look even on the carpet.
Appearance changes
The main changes in appearance include:
- The appearance of a nasolabial fold . This symptom can be easily corrected only at the initial stage. To do this, it is enough to undergo the bioreinforcement procedure. It involves creating a frame over the skin using a gel. If you have deep nasolabial folds, only fillers based on hyaluronic acid will help. To avoid increasing folds, you can do a light facial massage yourself. Read more about massage for facial wrinkles→
- Loss of lip volume and color. In order not to aggravate the situation and improve the condition of the lips, it is recommended to give up bad habits and carry out home care using vitamins, balms and medicinal herbs. You can also undergo laser or radio wave peeling to rejuvenate your lips.
- Expression wrinkles . It is best to fix this problem as soon as it appears. For this, cosmetologists recommend using Botox. At home, you need to do facial exercises every day, drink a lot of water and use moisturizers.
- Violation of the clear outlines of the oval of the face . With age, the skin gradually begins to lose elasticity, resulting in sagging. Facial gymnastics, microcurrents and myostimulation are used as prevention. These procedures will be effective at the age of 25 to 30 years. It is also necessary to carry out contrasting face washes. Alternately turn on cold and then warm water.
- Excess weight and poor posture . It is necessary to reduce body weight gradually, without going on various diets. Otherwise, food restrictions can aggravate the situation, as a result of which the woman will gain even more weight than she initially had. Nutritionists recommend switching to intuitive eating. The menu can include any products without restrictions. Don’t forget about physical activity, which will help in the process of weight loss and correct your posture.
- Dull complexion. The situation can be corrected with the help of peeling, photorejuvenation and Fraxel. You can also restore the radiance to your face by giving up bad habits. In this case, you need to exfoliate your face once a week and apply nourishing masks.
"Chopped" face
Roman, 46: “Face looks like 45, neck looks like 55. Well, she’s so chipped - it’s disgusting to look at!”
Valery, 22: “The wrinkles are visible, although they are retouched. 53 exactly."
In fact: Nicole Kidman is 52 years old.
A lot of time (and probably money) is spent on cosmetologists, but the desired effect is zero. Nicole, like many other residents of sunny countries, is aging according to the fine-wrinkle type. Instead of actively moisturizing and nourishing the skin, stimulating its natural renewal, the actress decided to take the “simplest” path, making friends with Botox and fillers. As a result, wrinkles across the entire surface of the skin have not gone away, and the face looks like a lifeless, inflated mask.
Makeup mistakes: what ages us

Makeup can be a real salvation, and sometimes, on the contrary, it can turn you into a tired, elderly woman. We will talk about makeup techniques and cosmetics that will help hide imperfections and make you look younger.
Blush
Loading…
Dark blush in brown tones will only make you look older. Of course, highlighted cheekbones make the proportions of the face thinner, and the face itself is visually elongated. Remember the actresses of the “golden age” of Hollywood: almost all of them had whitened faces with clearly defined cheekbones, so even young girls seemed much older than their years.
To freshen up your face, take a closer look at pink and peach shades of blush. They should be applied not to the dimple under the cheekbones, but to the most protruding part, and then shaded well.
Concealer

There is no need to apply more than three layers of foundation; you should be especially careful about products with a thick consistency that will make a mask out of your face. Keep in mind that after a while the cream will begin to clog into the pores and emphasize wrinkles. Therefore, the thinner the layer, the less chance you have of getting your makeup ruined.
Take a closer look at foundation fluids, they are not as thick as regular creams and are easier to spread over the skin. They can be applied with your fingers, but it is better to purchase a special brush or cosmetic sponge. Pay attention to your skin: first you need to clean and moisturize it.
Eyebrow shape
Stop plucking down to the “strings”! Probably nothing ages a woman more than narrow eyebrows. If nature has not rewarded you with thick eyebrows, you don’t need to intentionally draw them in where they don’t exist. Although many famous actresses are guilty of drawing on eyebrows, take into account your type and face shape, and focus on your own appearance features. The best way to create a natural shape is a special eyebrow powder. It doesn't put too much emphasis on the plucked area and looks more natural than a pencil.
Lipstick and shadows
When purchasing eye and lip makeup products, pay attention to their texture. Eyeshadow that is too matte will make your face look flat and lifeless. Choose creamy textures, the best option. There is no need to go to extremes and rush to everything that is frankly brilliant. Excessive shine will only highlight skin imperfections.
Eyeliner
If you choose a pencil, avoid the black one. At the peak of the popularity of the smokey eye technique, black pencils were swept off the shelves. This option is only suitable for the evening, and you need to be very good at applying it. If you don't shine with the skills of a chic smokey, give up the idea of buying. It is better to choose a brown or gray shade that will help “open” your eyes.
Eyeliner
It is unlikely that you are trying to emphasize bags under your eyes, bruises and wrinkles. To avoid this, do not apply it to the lower eyelid. In youth, all parts of the body and face tend to rise, so focus your makeup on the upper points as well. In the case of eyeliner, for example, apply it to the upper eyelid, leaving the lower one untouched.
Mascara
The usual black mascara looks very unnatural on fair-skinned women, especially if there are not many eyelashes. Black mascara will only make your look heavier. Therefore, choose brown mascara; it will draw less attention to sparse eyelashes.
Circuit
There is nothing worse than a clear contour on the lips. Not only does it reveal your lack of taste, it also makes you look significantly older. If you are an older lady, it is especially important for you to shade the contour to make it softer.
Lip gloss
Young girls can use gloss on the entire surface of their lips, but they need to be careful so that the makeup looks decent. For older women, filling the entire surface of the lips with gloss is contraindicated, as it gets stuck in the wrinkles around the mouth. It is better to apply a drop in the center of the lower lip, this will be enough.
And a few more tips: if you don’t want to appear older than you really are, avoid brown lipstick, pale foundation, black eyeliner and blue eye shadow. Instead, your makeup bag should include light eye shadow, pink blush, reasonable amounts of bronzer, and good mascara.

Excess weight
Sergey, 41: “It’s hard to say, there’s so much foundation on her... Let it be 48.”
Denis, 27: “44, no less.”
In fact: Drew Barrymore is 45 years old.
Body positivity is body positivity, but "looking like one" was hardly the Hollywood actress's goal as she carefully prepared to pose for the cameras at the event. The question immediately arises: what will we see in the photo without makeup, professional lighting and filters? A bad make-up, a sequined blouse and extra pounds immediately turned the cheerful Drew into a street vendor at public celebrations.
Wrinkles on the neck
Oleg, 48: “Over 40, neck with wrinkles”
Dmitry, 29: “About 40.”
In fact: Victoria Bonya is 40 years old.
Vika actively advertises the services of numerous cosmetology brands and clinics, conducts courses on rejuvenation, actively promotes the achievements of modern cosmetology and still exploits the image of a young girl. But the flabby skin on her neck instantly reveals her real age, no matter how you look at it.
Tired look
Nikolay, 40: “33-35, exactly!”
Nikita, 31: “40, no less.”
In fact: Keira Knightley is 35 years old.
A beautiful face, perfect makeup, professional photos... Nothing will help a woman look young and fresh if she has a dull look and a hunched back. Dirty hair gathered in a sloppy bun and total black complete the image of the “young widow” that Kira achieved.
What to do
After reading the list of colors that age your appearance, you probably want to get rid of them urgently. But such a radical approach is useless. All of the above shades have the right to remain in the wardrobe of a woman 40+. But there are several nuances that justify their presence.
- Firstly, it is better to choose such colors in the form of small details. Accessories in these colors will not cause any harm to your appearance.
- Secondly, let such shades be presented in the lower part of the ensemble (for example, in a skirt or trousers).
- Thirdly, you should abandon images that are completely in bad colors.
- Dilute dark, gloomy colors with light, refreshing accessories and details.
Another winning move is to replace a dark or overly bright color with a softer and lighter shade. For example, you can abandon purple in favor of lavender or lilac. The risk of appearing older will be minimized, and the image will become fresher and more interesting.

Unnatural image
Alexander, 50: “35. What's wrong with her face?
Mikhail, 22: «35-37».
Reality: Kelly Osbourne is 35.
A hair-to-hair varnished hairstyle, carefully drawn makeup, a penetrating gaze and pursed lips – Kelly here resembles the leader of a party cell from the times of the USSR. Too much effort does not bring success: unnatural structures on the head do not delight others. In addition, we are subconsciously afraid to relax, wrinkle our hair or damage the makeup that took half a day to put on. Such concern is certainly reflected on the face and gives us a couple of years.
