I know many of us are makeup and skin junkies and so many products/purchases do not work out for us. I am so excited about a wonderful find... that I had to share it with you all....
Before I tell you the products I must do the Oscar award ceremony and give....
...Thanks to Antonia who brought this idea to my attention a long while back.
What I'm talking about is what she has termed: The all-important triangle of youth. This is a triangular shaped area adjacent to the nose, and under the eye (inner eye). It is a small area and I've asked Antonia to please share the diagram with us.... A picture will tell a 1000 words. So hope she will hop aboard....
How you do it:
You apply a pale blue-whitish product in this distinct area and you have a beautiful result that reflects light and opens the eyes and provides a look of youth. AAAAhhhh = yes, tis a beautiful thing.
The products I have tried and tested for this are ColorScience Eyes Wide Open and also Signature Clubs Anchorwoman blue available from shopping networks (or if you're like me I found a killer deal on Ebay for $10.00/free shipping.)
I like both products - but must tell the truth.... The Signature clubs Anchorwoman blue stole the show for moi.
It is subtle and is meant to be - so blend well... the beauty of it is, as most of us know those subtle things are the things that make a difference. You know... when someone (YOU) looks good but you can't quite figure what is different ... just that you look better. Cool, Huh! |

Thanx for sharing this info Sister. I can't wait to see the diagram, I can't figure out exactly where you mean.
C'mon Antonia, must see diagram.   |

Oooh ahhh...I did it ladies! Here's the permalink to the full post on my blog http://halfahundred.blogspot.com/2009/07/looking-younger-makeup-tips.html. You need to sweep it out from the inner eye corner and blend it in very well. The Anchorwoman Blue is a heavier product than the Colorscience product. Don't pull it down too far on the cheek. You don't want it to look too obvious.  |

Sistersweets, thank you for sharing this simple tip! I love it when it's easy to do and doesn't require yet another purchase.
Antonia, first time I've visited your blog - how the heck did I miss this one! You're a wealth of information and your pics are absolutely amazing!
Okay, just wanted to stop and thank the two of you..... back to Antonia's blog! |

Well thank you and thanks Sis for posting this tip for all to see. If anyone likes those wheels that contain the green color to tone down red, and a few shades of concealer, Lise Watier has a product called Portfolio, which also contains the correct blue to use for this. (It is referred to as "lilac.")

I ordered the Colorscience product from EDS after reading Antonia's blog. I can't wait to get it and try it! Antonia, is this the "last step" after applying other make-up? |

| Hi Rileygirl, yes... just before powder if you use it. With the Colorescience product (Eyes Wide Open) let it sit for a minute or so before blending as it will become a little less liquidy in that time. |

The color wheel looks really cool (multi-tasking!) I remember reading about it months back and even looked at buying it then.
Rileygirl - The ColorScience product does start out on the runny side. It is sheer and soft in tone and you need very little - It's amazing how the bluish cast makes the difference. |

Thanks, Sis. I hope I can get the hang of it! I started looking at pictures of ahem younger people, and they do have this "triangle of youth"! |

Is it possible to have it work even if I am not using any powder or foundation over top? Or will it look lilac or blue on the skin then? I saw the Lise Watier palette at Shopper's Drug Mart yesterday. Do you prefer it to the Colorscience?
Thanks, Sis & Antonia!! I think I finally get it now. |

| It doesn't look blue once you have applied it. Just pat gently to blend in, see if you like the intensity of it and, if not, pat it in some more. I actually prefer the Anchorwoman Blue and the Lise Watier product as it is a little thicker and more manageable. |

Havana - I don't use undereye concealor, base or powder - just the 'blue/white' in the triangle and lightly blend - keep it soft. Don't be tempted to add - I use it (lightly!) and then check in the car or in a different mirror to see if it's "working". And it is. Less is More!
If I could find the lise watier I'd be all over it!!! It looks like a multi-use product and I know Antonia really likes the lilac tone for the triangle.
Can I ask - how much for the Lise Watier compact? Are you in Canada? thanks... Always love it when Havana checks in  |

Antonia - thank you so much!! WOW. I'm in my early 30's so I never much paid attention to using makeup to look younger before, but I tried your blue corrector technique and WOW. I keep staring at my face and realizing how HUGE a difference it makes!
(I used MAD Minerals blue corrector since it's what I have on hand)
Edit: So I've been looking through my own photos (I have a friend who is a photographer so I am lucky enough to get very good face/head shots every so often), and at 31 (32 in a few months) I DO still see this "triange of youth" on my own skin, but the light-reflection area is being encroached upon the beginnings of fine lines and some undereye bagginess. It's really interesting, and now I know where to use my blue corrector! Thank you!!! |

| I am so happy for you, Maiea! Now you need to address the very young wrinkles so that they fade gently away |

| this is one of my favorite places to highlight- it really does enhance a youthful/'innocent' look. i'm really pale so i use an aromaleigh powder that's about three shades lighter and nearly white. |

Antonia, trust me I've been trying to! I've gotten rid of my forehead creases and the lines around my mouth once I realized I had to start using anti-aging products (copper peptides and a variety of different skin creams for me), but one thing that refuses to go away are these little creases under my eyes! (And some dark circles and a bit of droopiness) I feel like I've tried so many different eye serums and creams, but they're stubborn.
I just read your blog about getting rid of your undereye lines so I just ordered myself a jar of the Bright-I cream. I can't seem to find the youth serum you're talking about though? |

Either I had a spontaneous combustion of wrinkles or this worked for me...  |

Is that the "IS Clinical Youth Complex"? I can't find a serum called "Youth Serum" But I found the above. It is $56 for the small and $135 for the large size right? |
