Lighten up on Concealer

InStyle.com: Start Today, Look Younger Tomorrow

You might have more to hide these days, but piling on cover-up isn’t the way to do it. “The skin under the eye is going to be either baggy or wrinkled and concealer is just going to show up more,” Linter says. The fix? Use liquid foundation wherever you’d typically place concealer, including the inner corner of the eye. Reserve cover-up for only the most stubborn spots, and pick one that’s just a touch lighter than your foundation.

Switch to a Shee...

Dark, opaque lipsticks feather into cracks and crevices. So go sheer and lighter, and anchor it with a pencil base. “Older women look younger in a lighter, more emollient formula,” says makeup artist Sandy Linter. “And they benefit from the strength of the pencil underneath.”

Lay Off The Twee...

Like the hair on our heads, our eyebrows gradually get thinner, so dial back on the pruning. "Brows should always be groomed," says makeup artist Linday Hay, "but overplucking is aging because it gives you a hard look. It has a sharpening effect." Take a cue from Jennifer Connelly--she's got "perfectly lush brows" down pat.

Blush with Preci...

There's an upside to losing facial volume as we age: our cheekbones become more defined. To softly emphasize your bone structure, Linter suggests shifting blush from the apple to the top of the cheek. For more sizzle, dab on bronzer just below the bone.

Feel Rich

Over time we lose collagen and firmness in our bodies, so opt for creams loaded with skin-plumping ingredients. We're fans of this Clarins brew because it's chock-full of healthy botanicals, not sketchy parabens.

Restore Your Glo...

As we age, skin gets drier and loses some of its natural luminescence,” says Hay, who recommends patting a few drops of lightweight oil onto the tops of your cheekbones to bring back brightness. One word of caution: Make sure the oil is light, otherwise you may trigger another signpost of youth: pimples.

Put It on Ice

Munching on salted pretzels before bed? You may wake up with swollen eyes. Our favorite early a.m. fix: cubes made from chamomile or green tea wrapped in paper towels. "The icy mix of antioxidants will send your bags on a first-class trip out of sight," says Cerina Silvestro of La Prairie at the Ritz-Carlton Spa in New York.

Pop Some Vivisca...

This strand-boosting supplement’s proprietary “marine protein extract” has made it the go-to secret weapon of stars like Reese Witherspoon for shinier, thicker locks. “It’s fierce,” says stylist Danilo. After seeing the transformation in his clients, he became a believer. “I was like, ‘Your hair looks fantastic. What have you been doing? Did you quit smoking? Change your diet?’ They all said it was Viviscal.” (And no, he doesn’t get paid to say that.)
