When it comes to highlighting your skin to look younger, you need to start with skincare first. One of my must-haves right now is the PCA Intensive Clarity Treatment with .05% retinol! This will not only help with fine lines and wrinkles, but it will help add luminosity to the skin.

Areas of your Face to Highlight to Look Younger

When I am doing makeup on a client that needs highlighting makeup tricks to look younger, I don’t do all that much contouring at all. As we age, our skin loses elasticity which can cause sunken cheekbones, sagging, plus fine lines and wrinkles; adding a skin lifting makeup effect vs. contouring is essential. In general, though, my goal as a makeup artist is to bring more light to the skin and to off-set those areas of the face that are gathering more darkness. These areas of the face that we see more sagging and loss of elasticity are typically the nasal labial folds (by the nose), around the mouth, the “11’s” in-between the brows, crows feet and jowls.

You can still do contouring to pop out your cheek-bones, but just be more light-handed- and highlight, A.K.A, more non-touring than contouring like I did in this makeup tutorial.
