Makeup and hairstyle can make you feel beautiful and boost your confidence. It can bring out your strong side and also help to hide those tiny imperfections. For some reason, we tend to get stuck in the same makeup routine, wearing the same shades and not venturing out to try new things.

As we age, our makeup should change to suit us. Your makeup and hairstyle you wore as a twenty-year-old isn't likely going to work on you at 40. It could even make you look older. Here is a list of things you can try to help you look younger without the need of going under the knife.

As women age, a lot of them will lighten their hair. This is a great idea. Lighter shades will look fresh and can help you to look younger. Although lightening is great, there are a couple of things to consider when going lighter.

You should always choose a warm shade. Using ash blonde could age you more than decreasing your appearance. Avoid dying all of your hair. Rather, try some fair highlights of natural colors. This will give you a fresh look. This also works on warm brown hair.

If you want to make a radical change, but going blonde is just too bold for you, you can try a warm color of chocolate.

Always compare the hair color to your skin before coloring. You don't want to color your hair to a shade that isn't complimentary.

Filling in your brows can make your face appear younger. This has been proven by science as well as makeup artist. Research took volunteers and had them view photos of people that had different facial contrasts. Group A had vivd lips and filled in brows, while Group B did not. Most participants voted that Group A was younger. This was strictly due to how their makeup was done - specifically their brows and lips.

This evidence should lead us all towards learning to use that pencil or shadow on our brows. When filling in the spaces that lack hair, this will help your face to appear brighter. If you have light hair, going a couple of shades darker in tone will look much better than having your brows the same color as your hair.

Because women with brown or black hair already have dark brows, they don't have as much work to do. Usually, sculpting the brow to the shape they desire, and filling in the gaps with a pencil or shadow is all that is needed.

Unfortunately, as we age, our lips become thinner. There isn't anything we can do to reverse this effect naturally. Some will seek out the help of a cosmetologist, and some will find the make up that works for them and just stick with it. The great thing is this little trick doesn't take long and there are no needles involved.

With a pencil, it's easy enough to make your lips appear larger in size. Simply, choose a color that is the same as your lip color. Next, you will outline your lips with it. Don't overdo it. Overdrawing your lips can lead to very unwanted outcomes. They could end up looking very clown like if you do too much.

A two millimeter gap between the line of the lips and the pencil should work perfect. This is enough to fill in the areas needed. After your lips are lined properly, you can apply a beautiful lipstick. Be sure not to color over your contour lines.

Stay away from hairstyles that look "worked" over, where there are no hairs out of place and everything looks perfect. It doesn't matter if you have curly or straight hair - avoid perfection when it comes to your hair. This perfected look will pile on the years. It's recommend to stay in the trend of the messy hairstyles. This is sure to have you appearing younger.

Try a loosened ponytail. If you have natural curls, embrace them. If you curl your hair, try and use a setting that looks natural. Straight hair looks great when layered in a cut. Both Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston have some great layered styles. Keeping shorter pieces of hair in the front can add contouring to the face and help reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Most every woman that wears makeup, applies mascara. Thin lashes are a plague among us all, young to old. Choosing your mascarais a very important task. For those wanting to appear younger, you'll want a mascara that will have your eyelashes looking long. This elongating mascara will hep you to look younger without making your lashes look heavy.

False lashes are another way to have fuller lashes, but it's very important you choose a pair of lashes that don't look fake. Find a pair that has a very natural length and thickness. When looking for your pair, look for the length over thickness. Having lashes that are too thick can appear very fake.

The brightest white teeth eventually fade and will loose whiteness and can yellow some. This is due to what we eat, our age, and our lifestyle choices. It's proven that a brighter smile can help a person to appear as much as five years younger than they are. This is why it's important to keep your smile bright and white. You'll need to choose the right color for you so that it looks natural. If you brighten your teeth too much, it won't be effective. Someone with their natural color teeth, even if a tinge yellow, will look better than someone that has had their teeth whitened too much. Less is more with this one!

A skin with warmer tones will look natural and appear younger. This is why you need to chose a makeup foundation with warm tones. For some, a yellowish undertone is even needed. Consider your natural skin tone, choose a shade that is a little brighter than you skin. Don't go too bright as this will appear very unnatural and can cause a defined makeup line. Makeup artist love to apply this technique on girls with dark completions. They often tend to have cooler skin tones so applying warm tones makes a big difference.

Having long fringe is great for hiding signs of aging. This will cover wrinkles on the forehead. It often helps to soften lines on the face and enhance your eyes.

Try making the fringe slightly uneven, and use a thin section. This will definitely take a few years off.

A lot of us will end up with the dreaded hooded eyelid. These aren't connected with aging but with the physiology of women. If you don't have them, that's great! If you have that upper lid draping over your eyelid, then unfortunately this is something that you will need to address when it comes to your makeup. It can make you look older if you don't do anything about it, but here is a little trick to help you out.

Use a nude shadow on the main part of your eyelid. Highlight with lighter shades along the inside corner of your eyes and under the brows. Direct the attention away from the hooded eyelid by adding highlight with a pencil or liner. Don't use black, use a liner that is lighter in color like gray or brown instead.
