As much as we love makeup and it’s transformative powers (make your nose look chiseled by contouring or fake fuller brows with a whisk of a pencil), sometimes it works against us. And by work against us, we mean against the clock. Instead of giving us a radiant and youthful glow, makeup can actually age you. Whether it’s doing a number on your skin’s texture or making fine lines more prominent, things can go array.
But as with most things, there’s a solution to combat it. In a recent article posted by Byrdie, Stephanie Koutikas, makeup artist and creative director at Mehron Makeup, detailed which products will age you dreadfully.
To begin, Koutikas warns to steer clear of tons of concealing under the eyes. “Too much coverage can bring an aging appearance to the skin and can highlight wrinkles and lines in this delicate area. Prep the skin with a moisturizing eye cream, and keep the touch light.” As much as we all want to achieve a beat face, less is actually more in the case. And if you want a brighter look, opt for a bold lip color or add bronzer to your cheekbones or even the inner ducts of your eyes to make them pop.
Koutikas also swears by avoiding setting powder, explaining that with aging skin, it’s best to keep it dewy and glowing. “Most face powders tend to magnify lines in the skin, aging us. If you can’t give up powder, try switching to a sheer translucent powder or a mineral-based one.”
Wondering which products will turn back the clock? Head over to Byrdie to read the full article.

Millennials may be the first generation that is comfortable not only going to therapy but also admitting they go to therapy, and even talking openly about it. If you watch some of the most popular standup comics today, you’ll see that a lot of them speak about their adventures on the psychoanalyst’s couch, having someone take notes on their obsessions, odd behaviors, and bad dates. But while millennials may be mostly comfortable with the idea of therapy, they still come from a generation who may have been more private about it. And their parents came from a generation that absolutely did not talk about going to therapy, and thought it was mostly reserved for people who were dysfunctional. Those past generations may still be affecting you, if you feel insecure about seeing a therapist. But here is why therapy isn’t just for “crazy” people.

Do you have that one restaurant that you always walk out of over-stuffed? Each time you go in there, you seem to overeat, and you don’t even realize it while it’s happening. You don’t even necessarily order (what you believe to be) unhealthy items there, but you just can’t seem to leave comfortably full. Then you have places you always leave hungry, which is frustrating in its own right since you paid good money to dine there. How did you lose touch with your stomach in those places, and not notice that you were stuffed to the gills, or not quite yet satisfied? It could have been the environment since that’s the one thing that likely stays the same. Your mood and hunger level walking in may change, but the place won’t. Here is how your environment affects what you eat.
