We want to address mistakes in using cosmetics that make us look older. In this section of Dr. Salam medical magazine, we tell you what you should not do in makeup so that your age does not show more. Sometimes we put on make-up to be more beautiful, but instead of looking younger, we get older and people around us say that you are more beautiful when you don’t wear make-up! When doing face and hair makeup, one should pay attention to many issues so as not to fall into the trap of mistakes.
We will introduce you to some of these mistakes and tell you why they are wrong and what is the best solution.
1- Choice of shiny or dark powder cream
Why is it wrong? The glossy powder absorbs the light and makes the wrinkles of the poster appear better. Dark powder cream also shows facial lines more deeply.
what’s the solution?
Choose a matte and light powder cream that gives a uniform color to the skin. If you are in doubt about the color of the foundation, choose the lightest color or the color closest to your skin. Apply some cream powder on the face and spread outwards with the tips of the fingers. The pancake you choose can be a shade darker than the color of your creme powder.

2- Improper hair styling
Why is it wrong? If you have long hair and simply comb it over your shoulders, or if you have short hair and try to gel the ends or twist them a bit, you need to be careful because either way you will look older.
what’s the solution?
If you have long hair, try to pull it back from the side of your face. You can use a wire or a clamp. If you have short hair, visit your hairdresser once every 2 months to give your hair a fancy look again.

3- Using shiny eye shadow
Why is it wrong? Glossy eyeshadow may look nice at first, but after a few hours, it will lose its shape and make your eyes look tired.
what’s the solution?
Choose matte eyeshadow in a neutral color (brown, beige, etc.).

4- Choose red lipstick
Why is it wrong? Red color – whether bright or dark red – deepens the features of the face. It is better that the color you choose for lip makeup is natural and in harmony with other makeup colors on your face.
what’s the solution?
If you are particularly fond of red, choose a red that suits your complexion and gives you a beautiful look.

5- Not wearing makeup in old age
Why is it wrong? As we age, wrinkles and darkness under the eyes increase and make the face look more tired. Seniors who don’t wear makeup properly usually look older than they are.
what’s the solution?
Cover your skin with a small amount of light powder cream. Use lip gloss or lipstick in natural color. Keeping your eyebrows clean and beautiful is also effective in making you look younger. Take a toothbrush and use it to comb your eyebrows from the root to the outside every time you apply makeup.

6- Lighten hair
Why is it wrong? Most people think that they should lighten their hair as they get older, but this is not true and they should not lighten their hair more than 2 degrees.
what’s the solution?
If you want to lighten your hair, highlight it. You can even lighten only the tips and bottom of your hair and make it blonde.
