I Understood Why Women Over 50 Look Older After Applying Lipstick: 2 Strokes That Will Fix the Situation | March 16, 2025

My followers often ask me why they look older than their age if they wear lipstick?

The main question is why applying lipstick makes age-related changes in lips more noticeable, and whether something can be done about it. It is not uncommon for women to send their photos to get advice. From these pictures, I saw two of the most common mistakes that women make when using lipstick. As a result, the face comes out gloomy, and the woman herself is older than her years. In today’s article, we will talk about lip makeup.

The first error and how to fix it

This is incorrect placement of the corners of the lips (also called Cupid’s arches):

1. A large distance is maintained between them.

2. A visible rounding is made.

In the photo, I marked the errors with a red line.

Thus, the face acquires unattractive features, visually it seems that the facial muscles are very tense and this causes the upper lip to rise. Many women suffer from this problem with age, and lipstick only accentuates this.
