No one really ever taught me how to apply my makeup. I didn’t have a sister. My mother wasn’t that into it. I picked things up along the way, primarily from reading magazines, occasionally from makeup artists at Georgette Klinger after I had a facial or at the makeup counters in department stores. So I can’t say I do everything right. Far from it. And over time, I’m sure there are things that I should be doing differently when I apply my makeup.
Daily Glow has all kinds of useful beauty information. Today, I came across some helpful tips on how to avoid making mistakes when applying makeup that can make you look older. I’m all for that!

I’ve already tried out a few of their ideas, like using lots of black mascara on my upper lashes and just one coat of brown on the lower to bring attention upward. I don’t think I would’ve thought of that on my own!
Do you have any makeup application tips that you could share?

Good tips! I’d like to try the brown mascara on my lower lash line. I don’t usually add anything, but once in a while I’ll add black thinking it make my eyes look bigger. Perhaps it’s actually making me look older! Yikes!

I think the black/brown mascara combo is a cool trick. My eyes are shaped in a way that they curve down, but I have blond eyelashes so I have to wear mascara on the bottom or I have no eyelashes. The black/brown mascara tip does seem to draw attention to the upper part of the eye. Curious to find out if it works for you, Monica!
