Have you ever wondered if the way you do your makeup is secretly aging you?. Perhaps it's with dated skinny brows or cakey makeup - or maybe you've been avoiding using cream products, because you think they'll look too oily. FEMAIL reached out to beauty experts to find out the beauty mistakes that just might be making you look older, and what to do instead.

'When it comes to complexion, less is more and the key to coverage is to be strategic in placement and what products you are using,' makeup artist Nydia Figueroa said. Rose-Marie Swift, the legendary celebrity makeup artist who founded clean beauty brand RMS, agreed that 'less is more always, but especially as you age.'.

Nydia proposed more mature women use a sheer to medium coverage based that won't accentuate texture like the PÜR Beauty 4-in-1 Tinted Moisturizer. New York City-based makeup artist Drita Paljevic said the biggest mistake she saw was 'using and applying a lot of makeup, resulting in makeup that looks cakey.'.

Instead, she recommends 'prepping and moisturizing your skin according to your skin type,' and with the idea that 'less is more. Drita, who's the head makeup artist at Kevyn Aucoin, suggested 'switching out the heavy foundation with a more sheer foundation and only applying it to areas where it’s needed.'.
