I’m a makeup artist – the common mistake I see all the time that makes women look years older | The Sun

MAKEUP trends are always changing, just last year we were all about 'baking', whereas now the aim is to use as little makeup as possible.

It can be hard to keep up with what's in and what's out, plus a lot of trends depend on how old you are and whether it will sit well on the skin.

But one makeup artist has revealed the common makeup mistakes she sees women make – and they're adding years to your looks.

Speaking to the Express, Sarah Amelia Fogg, a specialist in permanent makeup revealed the number one makeup mistake making you look older.

She revealed that eyebrows were the main culprit for making people look older – and there were plenty of reasons why.

The first was unkept brows – especially if they are sparse in hair as they can age you.

Sarah added: "Similarly, going too heavy on the product can also age you.

"If you like the defined look, avoid adding any colour to the end of your brow as overextending the tail can draw your face down and age you significantly."

So if sparse browns and over-filled brows can make you look older, what can you do to look more youthful?

The makeup pro recommends applying makeup at the tail end of the brow first and making your way inwards to avoid over-extending your tail.

She added: "Doing this can help you work with the natural shape of your brow, keep it looking fluffy and help you avoid applying too much product."

You should also avoid adding too much makeup to the rest of your face.

"Applying too much product, in general, is a common mistake that can age you whether that’s with your brow products, eyeliner or foundation," Sarah said. "In general, less is more".
