So a lot of makeup mistakes don't actually look wrong right away.

Instead, it actually makes the face look heavier, maybe a bit downwards, like, turn certain features, makes your skin and your features look older, and

Adverbs of degree

just generally not right and not as good as it could look.

And it's not the products that's actually causing this, it's the technique.

So what I'm trying to say is that it doesn't necessarily mean that makeup mistakes will look in such a way that someone would look at you and say, oh, oh, my God, that looks so bad.

Sometimes it can just be the case that it's just a mistake because it ends up making you look older.

So today I want to talk through some of the most common makeup mistakes that age your face and show you exactly what works instead.

Now, the first mistake is neglecting your skincare.

When your skin care isn't applied properly.

with the right kind of layering and time between each layer, your makeup can end up just sitting on top instead of melting in and becoming one with your skin.

That, in turn, exaggerates fine lines and dryness.

Now, my skin is extremely dehydrated and dry at them.

Actually, it's not dehydrated, it's just dry because I had micro needling a couple of days ago, and

if you've ever had micro needling done, I had it with salmon DNA and hyaluronic acid and all sorts of good stuff that they put all in my skin.

And basically what happens is your cell renewal is kind of.

It speeds up, so your skin is shedding all the old skin.

If I smile, it looks extremely wrinkly in that area.

So at the moment, I'm on this massive hydration surge, so I need extra hydration.

What you should be doing is giving your skin that extra hydration anyway, because if you're worried about makeup mistakes like aging you and you're probably in your 40s or above, right?

So what we're going to do is use some really good hydration.

It's just hyaluronic acid, which is exactly what I need right now.

And I'm going to just press this in as my serum today.

Now I'm patting it into the skin and I'm just letting it kind of really soak in and I can really feel my skin is just like, literally it's just drinking all of that up.

Now your skin should be nice and hydrated and smooth.

Now, while that's kind of settling in, even though my skin has literally just soaked it all up, I am going to apply my eye cream.

You want something that is hydrating, kind of a balmy texture, something that's going to kind of smooth the eye area.

Now I'm using the Mac Hyper Real serumizer eye treatment.

It is something that I don't think is that transformative, but

I'm just trying to finish it at the moment.

And that's why on this channel, you'll always see me maybe using the odd product that you always see me using.

I can't review something like such a skincare unless I've used it for a decent amount of time, you know, so you won't see me using one serum one day and then another serum the next day.

Now what I want to do here is leave a bit of time in between each.

As I said, that has just kind of like really soaked up my hyaluronic acid.

Now I'm going to apply my usual treatment, which is my 6 peptide skin booster from Cosrx.

So I did an extra layer of hydration under this, which was my hyaluronic acid.

This patting it into the skin and letting that kind of sink in.

If you allow each layer to settle down, you're going to create a much more flexible base for your makeup to sit on rather than everything cracking.

if I apply it all at once, it's going to stay fluid.

But that's actually wrong because it slips and slides around then your makeup does.

So it you're not allowing each product to get to work and do its job.

Now, once you've let that settle down, which that is very quickly settling down, that's how dry my skin is at the moment.

You want to go to your moisturizer, I'm using my pecan K toe cream.

No extra kind of unnecessary ingredients in there.

Now another Very important step is using an spf, because you really do want to make sure that you're protecting your skin.

The worst thing that you can do is not use an spf and then your skin is naturally aging as you're wearing your makeup anyway, because you haven't got that protection, especially if you're out and about.

Now, the one that I'm currently using, which actually is a pretty good sunscreen, it's the One One One Skin Repair Sunscreen, SPF 50.

So it does help to repair your skin over time, too.

I can't speak for how well it works because I've only just.

I would say it's probably been about a month since I've been using it.

But it is a very good SPF in the sense that it sits really well under makeup.

So I'm quite happy with it in that sense.

Skin care is all on, and we've done it in the right way.

I just want to apologize for my gray hairs that you can see everywhere because I haven't had a chance to go to the salon and get them done.

In fact, I actually just did buy my own hair dye at home for the first time.

So I'm going to be trying that next week, see how that goes.

But, yeah, it's just kind of very silver at the moment.

So, anyway, moving on to the next mistake now.

Okay, so we've allowed each layer of the skincare to settle down, and

Now we're going to move into primer now because I am dealing with dry skin at the moment.

And if you have mature skin, this is ideal for you, too.

You do want to use a primer that is also hydrating.

So I'm using my Anastasia Beverly Hills hydra Prime.

It is super hydrating, so it doesn't mean it doubles up the SPF 50 that I've already put on, by the way, it doesn't work like that, but

it does ensure that if you've missed any areas, you'll get those areas covered.

But this is giving me extra hydration, which is exactly what I need at the moment.

You would let that kind of settle down a little bit, and

then you would move on to your, like, concealer or foundation.

Now we're going to go with concealer first.

I. I want to kind of like, do a little bit of underpainting.

And that doesn't mean that that's the right way to do it.

So you can apply your concealer before or after foundation.
