29 Fashion and Beauty Fails That Age You

Sadly, there is no such thing as an expiration date for fashion. We could look much older than we are if we don’t change our clothing, hair, and makeup regularly. The never-ending quest for youthfulness has an impact on everybody. We’re always looking for new tactics, treatments, and ideas that will help us appear the best.

Turning to the Internet for advice is also a common practice. Unfortunately, several of these styling pieces of advice available online are ineffective. Here is some fashion faux pas we should avoid at all costs.

Lining the Waterline

Before we start talking about kohl on the waterline, it is important to mention that this only made it to the list because most women cannot pull it off. It was rather popular in the aughts. Kohl eyeliner remains one of the most common makeup choices for South Asians as this is something that goes with their overall beauty standard. However, the unfortunate bunch that cannot work a black lash line look aged as their eyes appear smaller. We wish kohl were universally flattering, but it is not.

Thus, we should avoid makeup trends that clearly do not match our looks. One color that does look good on the waterline is nude. It makes the eyes appear bigger and gives them a pop.

Skirts Worn Over Pants

Unfortunately, we are sorry to inform you that, for no apparent cause, this pattern from the ’00s has returned. However, don’t be deceived by such a maximalist style; it’s essentially a homage to power dressing which won’t help anyone! Yes, maybe, some people are deciding to go for this look. Still, it’s not a look that we would recommend to anyone.

If someone is already wearing pants, there’s no reason to wear a skirt because it inhibits their mobility. Besides, it doesn’t even look that good when someone wears it! Then why do people like Ashley Tisdale choose to wear it in major film premiers? Well, we will never know!

Accept The Natural Hair Color

The fashion business and aging usually are not good allies. Many people feel they should color their natural hair rather than have grey hair. However, grey can be empowering, and today grey is becoming quite a fashion statement; that is why we can say confidently that even grey hair can be appealing!

As one gets older, they might assume that lighter hair would make them look older, but it’s not true, lighter hair can actually help you look younger.

Cakey Foundation

Some people opt to hide up or perhaps even detract from existing facial wrinkles by wearing a lot of makeup. And this kind of makeup usually includes a lot of foundation. However, all they’re doing in this way is letting their skin look rough and gritty. Because too much foundation creates a cakey look which ruins the whole look.

A person might have decided that they somehow have to compensate for their aging with lots of makeup, but we just have cleared that it doesn’t work that way!
