Sometimes we do more harm than good all in the name of fashion. Have you ever noticed people calling you by your names when you actually expect them to call you aunty or brother as we do in this part of the world? The reason is not far fetched, its because you actually look younger than your age. The opposite is the case for people who make style mistakes that makes them look older than their age.
Sometimes getting the right person to approach you or give you audience might be difficult if they can’t guess your age correctly. Changing up your look through fashion and beauty choices is fun, but there are some mistakes we all make that actually cause us to look OLDER than we are.
1.Over curly Weave on: As much as this might make you look beautiful, it will add some years to your age if care is not taken, a very straight long hair is it, if you want to look younger or be addressed your age.
2. Dark lipstick – Deep shades make any surface look smaller, and that includes lips. Opt for a brighter color and/or a hint of gloss–it will make your pucker seem fuller and more youthful.
3. Too-sleek hairstyles – This can make your face look drawn and emphasize every pore, wrinkle, and imperfection. Try a more textured, looser option–a loosely pulled-back ‘do takes five years off your face! Also, keep in mind that helmet-headed updos can be disastrously aging. Stay away from too-voluminous bouffants.
4. Overly flat shoes: High heels are the real deal! we all knows that aged people dont wear heels, if you want to look young and more elegant consider learning how to wear classy heels.
5. Cakey foundation – Heavy foundation sticks to and emphasizes wrinkles. Who wants that? Choose a tinted moisturizer instead. Once applied, take a damp sponge to noticeably wrinkled areas. It will remove any excess foundation!
6. Oversize Clothes- Wearing clothes that swallows you up will make you look older than your age. Its sad to know that some people doesn’t know the kind of clothes that suits their body shape. Its not a crime to look sexy and flaunts what you have, it becomes an issue when you expose your body.
7. Lower lash mascara – This packs a double aging whammy by bringing attention to crows feet and making eyes appear smaller and more tired. Instead, curl only your top lashes and apply the blackest mascara you can find–it will bring out the whites of your eyes while making them look bigger.
8.Short necklaces – Chokers are a bad move as they bring attention to your neck–an area that begins to show aging early on. Bring the focus down with a long necklace which will elongate both your neck and your figure for an all-around slimming look.
9. Over-concealing dark circles – We’re all guilty of this one, guys. We want to hide those bags and under eye circles, and sometimes we get carried away. Take it down a notch with a light concealer, applied with a brush only to the dark spots–not the WHOLE under eye.
