When it comes to looking younger, plastic surgery isn't the only route -- there are plenty of natural ways to look fresh using products that you can find close to home. Glee Magazine recently assembled a few tips on how to look younger using what's in your medicine cabinet:

Moisturize. If your skin looks hydrated, it looks years younger. Try to get something lightweight that won't clog pores but will keep your skin supple for hours.
Toss the powder. A creamy foundation will not only keep your skin hydrated, but it won't settle into wrinkles like a powder will.
Go matte. Don't use shimmery eyeshadow too often -- it can give your eyes a crepe-like effect.
Colour your cheeks and your lips. It will make you look years younger.

How do you defy age with Make-up?

does anyone know an ultra good cream foundation? im looking for something new.
i use bare minerals and it covers good but i hate the powdery look and how it sets in your wrinkles.

I am a senior consultant with Mary Kay and agree 100% to try the foundation. I have very dry skin and love the foundation, it doesn't settle into those smile lines! Not sure where you are from but I am sure there is a consultant just waiting to hear from you to assist you in all your needs. Just search on line and you will find one in your area.

I wear Bare Escentuals, and yes, the mineral makeup can make your skin look dry... I've been using Princess Marcella Borghese moisturizer for years (Cura Forte and Cura De Vita) - and it's wonderful (pricey, but there's just nothing like it). It's sold only in certain department stores (don't confuse it with the Borghese sold at Costco). You can search online for your closest department store - but I usually buy mine online (you can google for their website - based in NY), plus, buying one of the gift combos is your best bet price-wise.
