“40 is the new 20!” she declares and we could not agree more with this assessment. The video that you are about to see showcases all of the different ways that women can alter their appearance for the better, without having to go to any great lengths.

“Is your makeup placement aging you?” She goes on from there: “If you’re over 40, I’m going to show you how makeup placement can change your face shape.”

The first tip that she has to offer is centered around the avoidance of darker colored contour. It cannot be applied in a manner that leaves it way too low on your face. For best results, Celia says that we need to start applying the contour at the top of our ear. From there, draw a line parallel to the eye by moving across the top of the cheekbone.

Using concealer to create a triangle shape underneath the eye is another common mistake that Celia is warning against. The triangular shape might seem the best idea in these instances but Celia is here to steer people away from that falsehood. It does not help because it will simply rest deeply inside of the lines on your face.

This has the effect of actually making you look much older than you actually are. In order to avoid this, you will need to dab the concealer more gently on the inner and outer corners of the eyes. “This will actually lift – and not sit in your fine lines or wrinkles,” she shares with the viewer.
