- Бровь должна иметь форму запятой - четко прорисованной округлой головкой со слегка приподнятым концом. Так взгляд будет выглядеть моложе. О тонких бровях «ниточках» лучше забыть;
- Для того чтобы скрыть пигментные пятна, капиллярные сеточки и мешки под глазами в обязательном порядке следует закупить жидкие консилеры желтого, розового и зеленого оттенка. Эти средства следует носить в косметичке;
- Женщинам после 50 рекомендуется не прокрашивать нижние ресницы, либо делать это, едва касаясь волосков вертикально расположенной щеточкой туши;
- Тушь должна быть с эффектом удлинения, но не придающая объем. Зрелое лицо такие ресницы будут старить;
- Черные тени и подводки акцентируют внимание на морщинах, поэтом лучше их заменить темно-коричневыми.
Учитывая эти советы можно без труда создать идеальный анти возрастной макияж и скинуть до 20 лет.
