Makeup Mistakes That Make You Look Older

In recent years, contouring has become one of the top makeup trends. From the runway to the red carpet and even the grocery store, contouring is everywhere. It doesn't matter what the demographic is, every brand from Urban Decay to Laura Geller and L'Oreal, makes a contouring kit and they are selling out by the truckload.

It's easy to understand why contouring is popular. Done right, it is a great way to achieve a youthful appearance, but too much contouring can go wrong, says Murat Evin, creative director of The London School of Makeup. "Contouring can certainly make your face appear younger, but going overboard can actually do quite the opposite, too."

He broke down how contouring works and explained how it can easily go south. "The art of contouring is that it enhances the structure of your face, so that it appears more defined. However, too much definition can actually highlight aging lines that are better left concealed."

Another tip to keep it youthful looking — Evin says always blend those contour lines.
