I don’t believe in age taking over but I want to look my best till the end, she shared in an interview with
Vogue India. Here are the beauty tricks you can cop now, whether you re 15 or 50.

When the only thing you can see over your mask are your eyes, you want to make them stand out as much as possible. A thin stroke of brown eyeliner or your regular cat-eye feels like it s barely there, especially when you can t balance it out with a bold lip or contour.

What s an award ceremony without award-worthy makeup to match? At the April 4 Screen Actors Guild Awards,
Helen Mirren brought just that. She appeared throughout the night in a plethora of red gowns, paired with an on-trend brown smoky eye. The actor s makeup artist, Jo Strettell, revealed to

She completed Mirren s complexion with a bit of Age Perfect Satin Blush in Maude Mauve.
