Apply Concealer Sparingly – Use a creamy, hydrating concealer to cover dark circles, but apply it sparingly to avoid accentuating fine lines.

Embrace Cream Blush – Cream blush blends seamlessly into the skin, providing a natural flush that looks more youthful compared to powder blushes.

Define the Brows – Fuller, well-groomed brows frame the face and can give a lifted appearance. Use a brow pencil or powder to fill in sparse areas.

Use Neutral Eyeshadows – Stick to neutral, matte eyeshadows to enhance the eyes without emphasizing creases. Avoid overly shimmery shades that can draw attention to wrinkles.
