6 STYLE AND BEAUTY TIPS TO LOOK UP TO 10 YEARS YOUNGER

The first tip for how to look up to 10 years younger is to make sure you choose the proper foundation. Nothing ages us more than cakey thick makeup, especially as we get older. I personally use and can highly recommend the CC cream by It Cosmetics. I find it provides great coverage without looking too heavy AND it has SPF in it so it’s pulling double duty to protect your skin from sun damage.

Tip # 2 for how to look up to 10 years younger is don’t skip the concealer! This is one of the most underutilized products when it comes to makeup over 40 and it can make the world of a difference. A little trick to make it go further and get the best coverage is to specifically apply foundation to the spots you want to conceal and then go over with the concealer after to maximize coverage. I LOVE this concealer from It cosmetics, especially for my under-eye area. It can make me go from looking tired to instantly bright-eyed and ready for the day just like that!

The last beauty tip for how to look up to 10 years younger is to have a really solid skincare routine. I use this cream at night and since I have been using it I seriously have noticed a big difference. Less fine lines and wrinkles, evened-out skin tone, and even smaller pores! This stuff is like magic in a bottle and I’ve also noticed my makeup goes on smoother! It just goes to show you need a good foundation ( healthy nourished skin) to get a great result (a makeup look that glows).

Tip #4 for how to look up to 10 years younger is DO NOT wear dated shoes or accessories! When I say accessories I mean jewelry, handbags, and belts and they can either make or break your outfit. If you have an amazing look put together but you have on a pair of frumpy flats or painful shoes it will not only ruin the look but will also ruin your mood! I can’t tell you enough how important it is to pay attention to your shoe and accessory choice and you can never go wrong with a chic pair of platforms like these ones from Veronica Beard.

A belt is a sure-fire way to elevate all of your looks. I find a good belt can not only make you look more youthful but also give the illusion of a slimmer waist as well! My favorite belts to wear are Clinch belts and I love this silver and gold combo because mixing metals is another tip to help yourself look more youthful.

Tip #5 for how to look up to 10 years younger is to wear whatever makes you feel like the best version of yourself and wear it OFTEN! Wearing bright colors has been scientifically proven to give you a dopamine boost in the brain (aka dopamine dressing) and it really does work! Bright pinks and shades of blue are my favorites to wear and I always get tons of compliments when I do. This pink blazer from Alice & Olivia is the perfect example, it fits me like a glove and just look at how bright and happy that pink shade is!

My last and MOST IMPORTANT tip for how to look up to 10 years younger is to wear clothes that FIT! Nothing ages us more than wearing clothes that are too big or too small so donate everything in your closet that doesn’t fit. The truth is we often think that wearing clothes that are too big for us hides our challenge areas but it can actually age us. My Advice? Ditch the clothes that don’t fit and let’s wear clothes that fit our figures perfectly! These Alice & Olivia jeans fit me like a glove and they look just as good as they feel.
