I'm a ‘midlife make-up artist' & swear by a ‘press & roll' tip – it covers eye bags & reduces the appearance of wrinkles
A PROFESSIONAL beauty guru has shared a simple hack to cover eye bags, whilst reducing the appearance of wrinkles. So if you're not sure how to apply concealer correctly, you've come to the right place and will need to listen up. 2 2 Carina, who is passionate about empowering women in their prime, is a 'midlife make-up artist' who works at a NARS counter in Southampton. Now, the brunette beauty has demonstrated how to ensure concealer sits correctly and in the most flattering way possible under the eyes. Posting on social media and sharing her expert advice, Carina responded to a comment that read: 'I find the concealer goes into my wrinkles and they look worse around the eyes and crows feet.' To this, Carina stressed the importance of using the right product, that is the correct shade for you. According to this make-up pro, to ensure your eyes don't look sunken or wrinkly, you'll need a matte product that matches your skin tone. To demonstrate, she used the Soft Matte Complete Concealer from NARS. But instead of just applying the concealer to the area, Carina explained that it's important to hydrate the area too. As a result, she used a tiny amount of eye cream, the size of a rice grain, with a small amount of concealer and stressed: 'Take your concealer that matches your skin and make a little paste with that.' Once she'd made her paste, Carina applied it lightly under her eye and then shared her simple technique, which involves using your finger, rather than a beauty blender or brush, to blend and smudge in the product. Carina added: 'Then just press and roll, press and roll and press and roll that into the dip.' From banana skins to ear massages - five natural anti-aging hacks revealed Following this, she confirmed: 'You might want to go over that a couple of times, but you can see that by pressing it on and also using that hydrating cream, it does look better. 'But that's because we've gone in with the same colour as our base - you'll never be able to get rid of it completely, but what you can do is try to minimise it.'

The content creator acknowledged that hiding problem areas with make-up is all about 'tricks and placement' whilst 'playing with light and dark' shades.

I'm a beauty buff, you don't need fat jabs my five minute makeup fix will make you look 2kg lighter with a £2.99 product
FORGET losing weight, if you want to look more snatched you may just need a clever make-up trick which takes seconds to do. Beauty lover Sam Luna shared how clever placement of a £2.99 bronzer can help you look like you've 'lost 2kg.' 4 4 On her @_sam_luna_ account, she showed how you need to place contour bronzer on top of your cheek bones, instead of in the hollows of your cheek. She used Essence Baby Got Bronze Shimmering Bronzer Stick in Shade 20 Holiday Glow to help with her look. On top of this she used a blusher - the Essence Blush Stick Shade 50 in Cherry Cherry Baby - followed by a concealer which swiped up from the corner of her mouth and the outside of her nose. She then blended in the products and showed how lifted and snatched she looked, compared to the other side of her face which made her look like she'd 'gained 2kg', according to her. On the other side, she had placed the products lower down her face, which didn't 'lift' her features. On her video, Sam added: 'What a difference this make-up hack can make.' Her tip has been liked by over 82,000 people, and many were quick to comment. One said: 'That's crazy tho she looks so different.' A second added: 'That's crazy. With such a minimal amount too?' And a third commented: 'I'm defo gonna try this, thanksss.' The exact spot to put bronzer to give you the most snatched and lifted jawline ever - and it's nowhere near your cheeks POWDER CRACK HACK Have you ever had the frustration of packing your make-up powders for holiday - only for them to crack during the journey? We recently shared how a beauty lover revealed her very handy hack which could cost as little as 1p and will save you ruining expensive compacts. Maya, who posts under @ shared how all you need is a cotton pad for the clever trick. 4 In a video which has racked up over 106,000 likes, she showed how you simply need to place the cotton pad inside your blusher or powder. You can then snap the lip shut and your powder will be protected from any bashes, which could lead to it cracking. Maya explained: 'Without it, there's more chance of cracking or breaking. 'The cotton pad acts like padding so if it gets thrown or hit it'll be more dense together, decreasing the risk.' Top 3 beauty products every woman should be using Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook shared the holy-grail products every woman needs to be using. A cleanser, SPF, and hair oil are must-haves within beauty routines. A cleanser is crucial for healthy skin as it removes dirt, oil, and other impurities for flawless skin. This skincare step not only cleanses the face and removes dirt, but also prevents breakouts and premature skin ageing, helping you maintain a healthy, youthful, and blemish-free complexion. The Aveeno Face Calm+ Restore Nourishing Oat Cleanser is a go-to of mine due to its gentle formula that soothes and restores the skin's appearance and texture. SPF is non-negotiable and should be in everyone's daily skincare routine. Even on cooler, cloudier days, our skin is exposed to the sun's UV rays which can be harmful to unprotected skin and even lead to damage. These damages include sunburn, pigmentation changes, and wrinkles which can impact the skin's texture and appearance. In some cases, prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause skin cancer. Applying SPF daily prevents these damages and protects the skin from harmful rays. I recommend the Beauty Of Joseon Rice & Prebiotic Sunscreen PA++++ SPF50+ for its lightweight, non-clumping texture that absorbs quickly for a natural finish and maximum protection. Hair oil has many benefits and should be regularly used. This treatment can strengthen and protect the hair from external stressors while improving its appearance and shine. Regularly applying hair oil can also reduce breakage and even encourage hair growth for longer, fuller locks. Hair oils also target the scalp, reducing dandruff and improving its health through exfoliation. I recommend using this deeply nourishing treatment a couple of times a week or more depending on the hair's moisture levels. The Hair Syrup Rapunzel Pre-Wash Oil Treatment is a nutrient-rich treatment that revitalises strands to promote a happy scalp and healthy-looking locks. Apply the syrup throughout damp hair before washing; massage from root to tip and allow the formula to penetrate strands before rinsing and styling.

I'm tired of looking tired. What can I do about my dark, crepey under-eye area?
The right eye cream and concealer can help. Dear Face Time, My under-eyes are getting crepe-y (I don't know if that is a word?), and my products are settling into these new lines that seemingly came in overnight. I also have dark under-eyes, because, well, I have kids! How do I treat this??? — Tired (Looking) in L.A. Dear Tired Looking, Oof. What you've identified here is one of the top aging concerns I'm asked about as a beauty editor. It's a topic I write about frequently and, of course, deal with myself (I actually started wearing glasses over contacts in my late 40s because I didn't want to think about it anymore). Like our necks, the under-eye area ages faster than other parts of our faces. This is largely because the skin there is delicate, contains zero oil glands and is frequently in motion (due to squinting and smiling). In your letter, you mention a few of the top aging issues here — crepey texture and dark circles — but there's also puffiness, sagging skin, fine lines and deeper wrinkles to contend with. While no topical treatment will address all of these quite like blepharoplasty (a popular eye surgery), there's reliable research confirming that the skin around our eyes responds to a few key ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. In fact, when I asked cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Ava Shamban if eye creams work and if women over 40 should use them, she responded with a resounding 'YES, YES AND YES!' 'It obviously depends on your individual signs of aging,' she says, 'but generally, look for products that contain antioxidants [like vitamin C] to protect and actives [like retinol] to correct. You also want to improve circulation and oxygenation in this area, so look for tightening ingredients like caffeine and/or calming ingredients like green tea, calendula and chamomile. Any combination of these can be great for an eye cream.' While most any eye cream you pick up will hydrate skin and make it appear more plumped and bouncy, the consistent application of skin care containing a stable form of vitamin C is among your best bets for dark circles. In clinical trials, when used daily, high-quality vitamin C products have been shown to reduce pigmentation and brighten the area overall. Whichever cream you choose, make sure the consistency is thick and/or dense so it doesn't run into the eyes. And in terms of concealers that won't settle in fine under-eye lines, I recommend makeup-serum hybrids (I like this one from Trinny London and this less-expensive option from NYX), which solve the problem by moisturizing skin and simultaneously covering any perceived the daily Crossword

Trump was speaking to reporters when a camera zoomed in on the president's hand.
The White House has explained the source of a recurring mystery bruise on the back of Donald Trump's right hand that appeared once again on Tuesday.

Trump was speaking to reporters ahead of the trip on the issue of Russian President Vladimir Putin when a camera spotted the hand and zoomed in. In February, speculation over Trump's discolored hand fired up when it was noticed during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.
