Put concealer in his nasolabial folds to erase them
With age, deep wrinkles form from the wing of the nose to the corners of the lips. These are the famous nasolabial folds that create oblique shadows that pull facial features downward and make us look older. To counterbalance this unflattering effect which tires the face, it is enough to put a touch of light in these furrows to plump them up by optical effect. A touch of concealer is enough to smooth out those deep wrinkles and illuminate the area to lift the skin and make it look 10 years younger.
THE jawline contouring to rejuvenate the oval of the face
Known as Bella Hadid’s beauty tip, contouring the jawline – or jaw in French – redefines the oval of the face by redrawing the contour of the jawline and making it more prominent. Unlike face contouring, which creates shadows that hollow out the face, it’s super easy to reproduce and just involves applying a little liquid highlighter along the jawline. Then all that remains is to blend it with your finger for a natural finish, the oval will be lifted.
