is your make-up ageing you: nails
You never forget to cleanse, are generous with your moisturiser, and know that eye creams should only ever be lightly patted on. Still, you look older than your age. How can this be? The answer could lie in your make-up bag. Here are the common beauty mistakes that may be responsible for adding years to your appearance.
You’re a devotee of dark nail colour
While dark nails are a winter favourite, they can be ageing on the hands, as they show up minor imperfections like pigmentation and dehydration. Wear neutral shades instead, like Sheer Translucide Nail Enamel in Sheer Blossom, $12.95, by Revlon, 1800 025 488. This will give the illusion of polished nails without looking harsh, as will the latest nail trend to hit the runways: nail gloss. “Painting with a nail gloss instantly gives nails a healthy shine with subtle colour,” says Creative Nail co-founder Jan Arnold. We love Nail Gloss in 440, $16.95, by Creative Nail Design, 1800 449 109, as it brightens the tips of your nails.
