Let's face it, we all want to look our best and we all strive to look younger.

Of course, our look always starts with the basics that we all know and appreciate.

We must adhere to a healthy daily regimen to maintain healthy skin.

Sunscreen is a must, and a healthy diet that includes plenty of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables is essential.

You also have to keep your body hydrated by drinking plenty of water.

These small steps are important to maintain a more youthful appearance, and they are not optional, they are indispensable.

But what else can you do?

Let's put plastic surgery aside and focus on those little makeup tips and tricks that we can all use to look younger.

10 makeup tips to instantly look younger;

1. Hydrate yourself:

This is the easiest tip and probably the most important.

We have to hydrate ourselves inside and out.

Drink plenty of water throughout the day and apply your moisturizing creams for day and night regularly.

When it comes to makeup, also look for moisturizing and hydrating products.

Avoid powders and go for creams.

Hydrated skin looks smooth and elastic and is one of the best things you can do for your body.

2. Lift those eyelids:

In addition to curling your lashes to open up those beautiful eyes, your lash curler can help improve the look of sagging lids.

Also, avoid applying mascara to the lower eyelid to open your eyes more.

3. Line the eyes:

It is always good to accentuate the upper lash line with a liner to highlight the eyes, but be careful.

Choose a beautiful dark brown color instead of black.

Remember, it doesn't have to be too thick or intense.

If your eyelids are more droopy, better create a very thin line or avoid it altogether.

If you decide to use eyeliner, try to do it at a 45-degree angle to lift your eyes a bit.

And if you can't get past a line under your eye, go for a lighter shade like light brown or gray.

4. Go for the glitter:

When choosing lipstick colors, don't go for the darkest shades and go for the lightest ones.

Look for natural, pink, or mauve shades that have a slight hint of pink.

Apply lipstick like you always do and then add a little gloss in the center of your lips.

That little touch of shine makes your lips look much younger and sexier.

5. Brighten your eyebrows:

We all like to fill in our brows to make them look fuller and more defined, especially when they start to thin a bit as we age.

So lighten their color a bit and light them up with a light application to make them look more youthful.

Very dark brows can really ruin a beautiful face.

By choosing a lighter shade you can fill in and achieve wonderful, bushy brows without adding years to your appearance.

6. Use light shadows:

Try wearing an eyeshadow that is lighter and brighter, such as those found in a more natural color palette.

Avoid dark browns, purples, and blacks.

To highlight the eyes, apply the lightest shade near the arch of the brow (above and below the brow) and near the tear duct.

7. Beware of dust:

Look for light powders and use them in a thin layer.

The less powder you put on your skin, the younger and more fresh it will look.

Remember that these powders can seep into expression lines and wrinkles that you may have.

In doing so, they draw attention to those lines… and not in a good way.

8. Hide blemishes:

As we age, we tend to have more blemishes on our skin.

Let's hide those little blemishes in an effort to turn back the clock.

Choose a light foundation or tinted moisturizer with medium coverage.

Silicone foundations will give your skin a brighter or brighter look, helping to make it look younger.

9. A little blush will help:

This is a little trick for you.

Lightly pinch your cheeks in the same way you do before taking a photo and try to find a blush of this color.

It is more natural and gives a more youthful appearance.

Don't put the blush too low on your cheekbones.

The higher the blush is, the more definition you will have and your features will be enhanced.

Remember, apply a light coat, and gradually go up and out.

10. Look for length, not weight:

Eyelashes unfortunately tend to get thinner with age.

We start to think we need to thicken them up a bit and put on mascara with a thickening formula.

This makes sense, but the thing is, our lashes are already thinning and can't really handle the heavy mascara used to thicken them.

Instead, try mascara to lengthen them, which will give you a wonderful color and won't look too heavy on your eyes.
