Sagging skin is easily camouflaged with loose powder mineral cosmetics. Covering up those bags, puffs and droops will result in a younger, healthier look.

To begin, cleanse your face as usual. Apply any type of moisturizer that you like and allow it to soak in for at least 5 minutes. Make sure it no longer feels sticky to the touch before beginning to apply your makeup.

Once your skin is washed and moisturized, you will begin your makeup application. First apply your foundation all over as usual, using a shade that perfectly matches your skin tone. Apply 2 to 3 layers to achieve smooth, even coverage and to hide any blemishes. If you need to touch up any areas with a smaller brush, do so now.

Next, you will need two different mineral colors. These can be foundation shades or concealer shades. One needs to be lighter than your skin tone, and the other needs to be darker than your skin tone.

Using a small powder brush (the bristles should be about 1/2 inch in diameter or slightly larger), dip into the lighter powder, swirl in the lid of the makeup jar, and then tap off any excess powder. Begin sweeping the powder UNDER the parts of your face that sag. Any place you see a shadow from a sag or bag, dust the lighter color. This will result in the shadow "disappearing."

Next, take the color that is slightly darker than your natural skin tone and, using the same small powder brush you used before, apply to the "puffs" on your face. These are the areas that stand out or puff out the most and usually appear lighter, due to the light hitting them. Applying a darker shade here will result in a very cool visual effect. The eye will be tricked by the lack of light on the area, thus causing it to appear to recede.

So with the shadowed areas looking lighter and being drawn forward, and the puffier areas receding, the overall look is : "less sagginess."

Your face will appear smoother and younger!
