I’m a make-up whizz & women over 35 make a big mistake with concealer…it highlights fine lines and makes you look older | The Sun

A MAKE-UP whizz has shared the big mistake that many people make, that instantly highlights fine lines and makes them look older. 

Beauty fan Shira, known on TikTok as @simply.shira, recently took to the video sharing platform to share the make-up look that women over 35-years-old should avoid at all costs if they don’t want to look older than they actually are. 



According to this make-up fan, using a concealer that is too bright and light is hugely ageing. 

Shira, who has amassed 68.5k followers on the social media app, shared her anti-ageing tip and said: “Make-up mistakes to avoid if you’re over 35.”

“Instead, use a concealer that’s close to your natural skin tone.

“This will help conceal under eye darkness without looking cakey and discoloured.” 

Shira later explained: “Using a concealer shade that’s too light will only accentuate fine lines and will look discoloured.
