Makeup can be completely transformative when it is applied correctly. One makeup enthusiast shared how she can effectively drop a decade with a simple hack.
Lifestyle, fashion, wellness and age-positive content creator Tracy Campoli demonstrated her anti-ageing makeup routine on YouTube. She revealed that she manages to look much younger than her years by adding "light" to her face.
Tracy said on YouTube: "I'm 49 years old and am often told that I look at least 10 years younger.
"I thought this would be kind of fun for us to get ready together while I talk about why I do the things that I do and why I'm able to sort of trick people into thinking that I am actually quite a bit younger."

Tracy acknowledged that ageing is a gift and something to be proud of. However, sometimes women want to minimise the effects of ageing and look a little younger than their years.
One way the makeup enthusiast turns back the clock with makeup is by tactically brightening parts of her face.
She said: "I want to add a little bit of light. The more light we bring into our faces, the better. And that's going to really make people think you are much, much younger.
"The first place I like to add a bit of light is at the inner corners of my eyes." Taking her chosen product, she demonstrated adding a large dot of product and then blending it out with her fingers.
On the bottom lash line, Tracy extended the colour from the inner corner to under her iris.
The makeup enthusiast also revealed that she uses a highlighter high up on her cheekbones to "lift and enhance" them.
She said: "It's giving a lift and we love a lift - everybody loves a lift." Tracy also highlighted the bridge of her nose.
She concluded: "Where we've highlighted, it very subtly catches the light. We did cheekbones, we did the bridge of the nose, we did the inner corners of the eyes - and it's giving us a lifted, lifted look."

While a thick foundation may offer full coverage, it can also look like a "mask". Sunscreen mixed with bronzing drops may be a more flattering, less is more option.
Another way women can look younger is with a concealer technique that guarantees an "instant eye lift".
