Do you think that wearing make up ages you faster?

Doesnt apply to me . I wash & moisterize daily , I only wear Pigments & E/S with Mascara

I think you have good aging genes. I know people that don't wear makeup and still look old. I'm 42, no wrinkles, still look 30. Genetics plays a big part and also whether you are out in the sun alot when you were young. It's a good feeling tho when you look 25+.
I was watching this show with this kid Brooke. They are studying her because she was 16 and she looked and acted like she was 2. She could pass for being 2 years old but she was almost an adult.

That whole harsh look makes you look you are stuck in that decade.

^^^The blush doesnt make her look old Its if her cheek bones are shaded , she has very high cheek bones very nice facial structure & young looking !! shes already skinny so when defined with shading makes her looked more sucked in & older lol

My mom is in her 70's and she still looks young. What she wears makes her look old because she's stuck in 70's style.

lol I never new the skeletor was an 80's makeup trend LMFAO I guess i missed that

I think it's all about finding the right makeup that works for you and realizing that you do have to make adjustments as you age. I think that some people get stuck in a rut and don't make a change, even though their skin may be drier, thinner, etc. So then their makeup can make them look older. Or, they try to hide fine lines and wrinkles by pouring on the makeup and that can backfire and make them look older too.

So in a nutshell...no I don't think that makeup ages you more quickly, as long as you take good care of your skin and are really careful when working around your eyes so that you don't pull the skin and irritate it.

Once a woman is 35+, I believe that the following can age her - shimmery eye shadow (emphasizes crepeyness), powder around eyes (settles into lines and emphasizes them), warm toned/orangy lipstick (makes teeth look yellowy), and anything trendy.

I feel that foundation and concealer can help if they contain sunscreen.

But I agree that contouring her cheeks would make her look older. It's well known that as you lose your youthful fat on your face, the bone underneath is more prominent.

Skeletor!

Makes sense. I've seen countless of older women trying to look youthful with their choices in makeup & clothes, but it just doesn't work. They're so afraid of aging that they go to these extremes that actually end up working against them.

I agree. You may dress like your daughter and be botoxed to look younger, if you're stuck in your makeup trend, it can ruin your efforts.

 

[PrincessGangsta]

Yup. Not to mention, you CAN get older and still be considered stunning. Try to look your own age and not 20 years younger with the botox, not eating, excessive tanning, clothes that are made for teenagers, etc. All of that stuff will never make anyone look younger. Just silly.

Women can actually age quite gracefully, they just don't realize it.

 

[b'lana]

i think it can make you look older...but as for aging you.... i guess if you use cheap stuff!
