12 Tricks That Can Make You Look as Fresh as a Daisy

If you prefer to wear your hair long, a good idea is to add layers and texture, as this frames the facegiving it an essence of youth.

“Some women get attached to length because they think it makes them look younger, when, in fact, it just hangs down and does nothing to flatter or soften the features,” said hairstylist Jenna Mast.

When it comes to blusher, the first thing toconsider is to switch from powder to cream, as skin tends to become drier over the years, and powder could accentuate this.

Secondly, place it in the right area so that your face doesn’t look saggy but firm. The best place to place it is along the middle of the cheekbones, moving upward toward the ears.

The eye area has thin skin, so the first fine lines often appear there. Often, without noticing it, we accentuate the area and, as a result, we can look older. This happens when wearing thick, black eyeliner, making the eyes look smaller and glassier.

An alternative to this is to use brown eyeliner, so you’ll have a softer, more youthful look.

If you wear your hair short, one simple change that can impact your image is to not wear it too short on top.

“Leaving hair longer at the crown gives a more feminine and youthful look, which can be more forgiving for women as we age, especially when it comes to loose skin around the neck,” said specialist Jenna Mast.

Volumizing lashes and forming an upward line is one way tolift the eyes and counteract a droopy look.

“Use first a volumizing mascara to create massive volume on the upper and lower lashes. Then, apply a lengthening mascara to the outer corners only to create a flirty curl that lifts the eye diagonally,” advises Orlando Santiagocelebrity make-up artist.

Grey hair doesn’t necessarily make you look older; on the contrary: natural hair in shades of grey or white can add shine and freshness to your appearance.

“For some women, maintenance becomes impossible, and they actually look younger and fresher with a full head of natural, grey or white hair,” stylist Jena Mast pointed out.

Using a dye that’s too dark could cause the skin to look dull or harsh, according to Felicia Dosso, a colorist at Nunzio Saviano Salon. One option is to add highlights to give hair depth and a natural-looking shine that reflects on the face.

“Softer, more natural tones are more youthful,” explained the specialist.
