The othe r day l met a woman in her fifties, although she looked much younger. When l asked her secret to he r youthful skin, she said she does what she can ro remain calm and happy. However, while it is trne chat happiness is che best cosmetic, we can't all be calm and happy all the time

So, while maintaining a skin care routine is a must, hete are some tips co keep in mind so chat n o matter what your age, you look younger and graceful.

Go easy on the cake

If you are using make up, keep it as subtle as poss ible Use a water based moistu.riser and foundation so that they blend into the skin. Using a cream based foundation can give your skin a caked- up look and instead of hiding tl1e fine lines, highlights them. Always use a s hade closest to yolll' skin rooe and b lend it evenly so that it doesn't show. Remember, tl1e a.in, of a foundation is to give your skin aa even look no matter what your age.

Keep brows thick

Keeping your eyebrows thin and with a high arch is going to make you look much older. So l et them grow out a bit, and keep your eyebrows thicker. In other words, no thin pencil line like eyebrows If you have a seamy growth of hair on your brows, use a filler pencil co give them shape and a thicker look. This will also keep attention away from crow's feet, bags or lines m1der che eyes.

Use subtle colours

While choosing colours for li pstick, blush or eyeshadow, keep it as muced as possible. Unless it is a very formal occas ion, go for grace and dignity over bling and brigh t colours. Not only will you carry off your outfit well, you won't come across as someone trying to compete witl1 her daughter in the glamour quotient. Bes id es, when you are o lder, less is more, a look that heJps you come across as someone younger. If you wear too much bright coloured makeup, you will l ook like you are trying coo hard to retain your youth and that actuall y works against you.

Avoid dark lips

Even if the outfit you are wearing is a dark co lour, go with shades of nude, browns and peach for lip co lour. You can use an underlying dark colour to g ive a dash of colour, but as far as possible, use shades that are very understated. If you must h ighlight anything about yolll' look, make sure it is your outfit. A classy gown, a modern saree chat drapes well or a sah11,1r kameez in a colour that suits you can do all the talking for you.

Highlight your best feature

If your eyes are your best fearnre, use eyel iner and mascara [not too many coats) to give them tl1e attendon they deserve. Keep the eyeshadow subtle and muted If you have classic high cheekbon es, use bl ush to enhance their shape and not horizontal blotches of pink or orange which will only make you look overly done up.

If you are really tall, wear outfits that enhance yonr height. If you happen to be short, stay away from the Anarkali k111'ttzs and tent shaped tunic tops, which will only make } ' OU look shorter.

\Vear something th at makes you look taller as it will also make you look younger. If your makeup is muted , your Jack of height is the last thing anyone will notice abour yo u.

At any age, it is important to remember that be ing comfortable is what works best. And if you can combine style wi ch comfort, yo u 've h it the jackpot. Just bear in mind that overtly trying to hide your age only makes matters ,vorse It is best to keep the look classic an d un d erstated at all times, especially wich makeup and the colours you choose, for both your wardrobe and yo ur face
