I Understood Why Women Over 50 Look Older After Applying Lipstick: 2 Strokes That Will Fix the SituationMy followers often ask me why they look older than their age if they wear lipstick? The main question is why applying lipstick makes age-related changes in lips more noticeable, and whether something can be done about it. It is not uncommon for women to send their photos to get advice. From these pictures, I saw two of the most common mistakes that women make when using lipstick. As a result, the face comes out gloomy, and the woman herself is older than her years. In today’s article, we will talk about lip makeup.

The first error and how to fix it

This is incorrect placement of the corners of the lips (also called Cupid’s arches): 1. A large distance is maintained between them.
2. A visible rounding is made. In the photo, I marked the errors with a red line. Thus, the face acquires unattractive features, visually it seems that the facial muscles are very tense and this causes the upper lip to rise.

Draw the corners a little closer, smooth out the sharp corners. The correctness of the design can be checked by, if possible, drawing straight lines to the corners of the mouth along the edges. At the end of the article I have placed photos with and without proper lip makeup.

The second error and how to fix it:

This is a rounding of the lower corners of the mouth. This remark is relevant for mature ladies who have already shown age-related changes in their lips, such as drooping corners of the lips, the appearance of fine wrinkles. Such makeup makes the lips look plumper.

Visually draw two parallel straight lines through the corners of the upper lip vertically and where they touch the lower lip, make a rounding. And from there, draw a straight line to the corners of the lips. Compare the following photos. In the first photo, the corners of the lips are down, and the upper lip looks unsightly. Which cannot be said about the next photo.
