Take a tip from the theater kids and use makeup to make the whites of your eyes look bigger. This is easily accomplished by using a white eyeliner on your waterline to give a fuller look to your eyes. This small change can make a big difference in your appearance by making you look bright and energized.

Don't weigh your skin down with tons of heavy products. Mineral powders are great for achieving a youthful glow because they are light and often contain UV protection to prevent sun damage. Heavy foundations can actually settle into your wrinkles and pores which emphasize their appearance.
 

After you develop a light coverage base, go for creamy eyeshadows, highlighters, and blushes. Their water content will help moisturize your skin and give you perfect, smooth coverage. Powders can make your skin look drier and more aged.
 

If you don't want to commit to a full face of makeup, a little concealer can go a long way. Dab some concealer onto the problematic areas of your skin like blemishes and dark spots for full coverage. To avoid a cakey texture, don't forget to set the concealer with a light powder that will keep you glowing all day.
 

You may worry about looking like a clown, but orange concealers are amazing at correcting dark spots and eye bags. Since orange is the opposite of darker shades of blue and purple, they cancel out completely. Depending on your skin tone, you may need to experiment with different shades to achieve your best coverage. Peach works beautifully on lighter skin and red works best on darker skin. Just don't forget to blend!
 

Bold eyebrows are the hottest trend today, and, as we age, our hair becomes more sparse. Instantly create a youthful look by using an eyebrow pencil to fill in their natural shape. Follow their curves and don't overfill them because it won't look natural.
 

Just like our eyebrows, our eyelashes thin out the older we get. Take years off of your look by enhancing their volume and length with a bold mascara. If you're really committed, you can even try different types of false lashes. A minimalistic look with bold lashes can really make you feel gorgeous.
 

Makeup can work wonders, but the best tip to maintain your youth is to take care of your skin so you don't need to cover it in lots of makeup. Establish your own skincare routine that includes exfoliating and moisturizing and stick with it.
 

No matter how old you are, the best way to look vibrant is by being confident. Your best accessory, after all, is your own smile. Pass these makeup tips on to your friends and family if you found them helpful!
