Thick foundation, Heavy makeup is a one way ticket to looking older. 

Cake-on Foundation - Suffocating your skin with a heavy cover-up will only draw attention to the problem you’re trying to hide. Don't overdo it.

Base that's too light - Foundation that's paler than your natural skin tone exaggerates fine lines. Switch to a hue that's one or two shades darker and has luminescent particles.

Foundation line on jaw - To avoid a telltale foundation mask, the first step is to select the right shade.

Here are useful tips:

1. Ask a salesperson at the makeup counter to pick out several shades, then test a few on your cheek.

2. Step outside into natural light and use a hand mirror to see which shade looks best on you.
Our necks are often a different color than our faces and chests. That's why it’s important to blend foundation down into the neck for a uniform color. Use a makeup sponge to create a seamless edge.

Heavy concealer on dark circles - The skin under the eyes gets thinner as human beings age, making thick cover-up look like concrete. Please keep it light and apply it with a brush

Face powder on top of lines - Powder is fine for reducing shine on the nose and the chin, but on other parts of the face it exaggerates wrinkles and can make skin look too dry

Blush on the apples of the cheeks - This draws attention to sagging skin. Instead, apply colour on the highest point of your cheekbones, not too close to the nose and lift it upward with a brush that's large enough to cover the whole cheekbone

Lipstick that wanders - Your natural lip line can begin to fade as you age, which makes lipstick more prone to bleeding and feathering

Bright colours, dark shades, and anything metallic or iridescent are too heavy for thinning lips. Instead, choose a neutral rose shade. And consider switching from a lipstick to a sheer gloss, it will give you more fullness.
