I’m a makeup pro & there’s a trick to make over 40s look way younger, they make the same mistakes all the time
KEEPING up with the trends can feel more like a chore as you start to get older.
There’s busy work schedules, family life and then trying to squeeze in some time for yourself.
So discovering what the new makeup hack now is is probably last on your list.
Luckily makeup fans and professionals are sharing their tips to ensure you are keeping up to date.
Elan Bongiorno is one of them, and can be discovered on TikTok going by the name of beautybyelan.
She has over 29k followers who are big fans of her beauty advice.
In one recent video, she showed how people over 40 should be applying their concealer.
Filming herself, Elan revealed how the left side of her face was the wrong technique and the right side of her face was the correct technique.
Elan first starts off by getting her concealer, and adding it “right in between your eyes.
“At the end of your eye, give it a little lift.”
She does this by painting an upwards stroke.
Then she grabs a blending brush and uses it to smooth the concealer into the skin.
Elan says: “You just want to tap, you don’t want to swipe.”
She follows this by pressing the brush in the “inner V of the eye” and “you want to get in between the eyes.”
She adds: “You want to lighten and brighten.
“You want to attract the light, so it will look bigger, wider and brighter.”
Elan explains that whatever you have left over on your brush, take it down your under eye and “just tap, tap, tap, tap.”
She continues: “Get to the end of the eye, so you already have the lift and you just want to press it in, tap, tap, tap.
“I don’t even have makeup on, and it is already giving me that beautiful lift.”
Elan, who used a light medium honey concealer in this video, gained thousands of reactions to the video with people ‘loving’ it.
Many rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts too.
One wrote: “Looks great. I will be trying today. Thank you”
Another beauty fan recommended some budget products that people can use when doing their concealer.
She wrote: “Budget makeup products – Essence, Catris, Revlon, Maybelline, L’Oreal, the best of them”
To which Elan replied: “Love them all.”
Someone else asked what the best blending brush is, to which Elan replied: “Huda Beauty.”
