Looking Younger: Makeovers That Make You Look as Young as You Feel (Book Excerpt)
Look 5 Years Younger and 5 Pounds Thinner
One
of the biggest drawbacks to aging is that you lose pigment and color in
your skin as you age, making you look pale and washed out. That is why
making your skin appear lighter than its natural tone makes you look
older. I can't count the number of times women have asked me how to add
color and life to their face to help them look younger.
A perfect way to add color to your face is by "sculpting the
face"—blending multiple shades of foundation and powder in specific
areas. The beauty of this technique is that it adds depth to the skin
and shape to the face but looks completely natural. Adding dimension
and color to your face will definitely give you that youthful glow you
have been looking for.
How many of you have looked in the mirror and thought your
face looked too full? Many women believe their face is too full (they
think fat—not usually the case) and want to make it look slimmer.
Believe it or not, it's simple to do. Keep in mind that you are just
creating a subtle change, not performing surgery! By sculpting the
face, you can slim down its appearance by using dark and light shades
to subtly reshape it.
