Beyond Wrinkles: 7 Beauty Mistakes That Make You Look Old
Sure, an aging complexion contributes to your overall appearance but looking older is about a lot more than just wrinkles
Mascara on your lower lashes Twiggy and gamine catwalk waifs pull off this look super well. Those of us over, say 40, do not. Mascara coated lower lashes draw attention to under eye imperfections like dark circles, crow's feet and hyperpigmentation.
Try this instead: If a dramatic eye is what you're after with all that mascara, you're better off making the most of your top lashes by curling them (try Shiseido Eyelash Curler, $20), using a lash primer (lashes get thin and dry as we age) like Estee Lauder Lash Primer Plus, $18.50, and layering on the blackest mascara you can get your mitts on. Apply it in an up and out motion starting from as close to the root as possible.
