I’m a beauty expert – the makeup mistake that’s making you look older, it accentuates wrinkles
AS we get older we tend to sink a lot of money into anti-aging efforts, from skincare products to hair dye.
However, there is a simple change to your makeup routine which can be just as effective in knocking a few years off your appearance.
Facial plastic surgeon Dr Monica Kieu informed her TikTok followers of a common makeup mistake people make which ages them.
Dr Monica revealed that a common cosmetic blunder is applying “heavy and dark eyeliner and mascara around your under eyes.”
“This look can actually make your eyes looks smaller, and it accentuates the fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles on your under eyes,” she explained.
She continued: “Not only that, it can create a shadow that makes the under eyes look darker.”

If you’re a fan of a smokey eye and need a new eyeliner look in light of this revelation, don’t worry, Dr Monica has got you covered.
“My makeup artist friends recommend, to open up and brighten the eyes, use a white or flesh colored eyeliner,” she told her followers.
TikTok users took to the comments section of Dr Monica’s video to share their thoughts on the beauty tip.
“That’s my problem, so I don’t follow the TikTok makeup artists that are some my age, that still can do it. [It’s] not for me anymore,” wrote one viewer.

Another person said: “That’s true, dark eyeliner on the under eyes ages immensely.”
“So true, I’m almost 50 and my friends who wear dark liner look older and harsh,” commented one user.
However, not all of Dr Monica’s followers were convinced. One user said: “I don’t think so, eyeliner doesn’t make you look older.”
“It really depends on the person and how they are aging,” commented another viewer.
