"7 Things That Keep Me Young" by Mally Roncal

Celebrity makeup artist Mally Roncal turned 40 this past January, here she shares some wisdom on looking young.

1.  A Great Moisturizer   Dr. Brandt Lineless Infinite Moisture Lotion ($65) "This is the only thing that truly balances my skin."
Dr. Brandt Skincare - lineless® infinite moisture®
2. Mismatched Eyeliner "I do black on the top and a soft brown or plum on the bottom.  I like to wiggle the pencil in between my top lashes instead of lining above them, which can make lids look heavy."

3.  Low-Shimmer Shadow "...go for something with fine, tiny bits of shimmer, not chunky flecks or a chrome finish."

4.  Nude Lip Liner  "There's nothing more aging than wearing lip pencil that matches your lipstick-it looks so severe.  Instead, use a liner in the same color as your natural lips..."

5.  Long, Sexy Hair  "...i use Wen hair products, which are sulfate-free and made with natural ingredients, and Fekkai Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner ($25 ea).  And, I never use a blow dryer...I'll wash my hair at night and let it air-dry.  The next day I use a curling iron or hot rollers to add some body..."

6.  Powder-Free Finish  "I'm probably the only makeup artist with an aversion to translucent powder-I hate how it settles into wrinkles.  I prefer a mattifying gel like my Evercolor Poreless Face Defender ($40):  It gets rid of shine, and also fills lines so your skin looks smoother."

7.  Yoga with my Hubby  "...at night we do yoga...it helps us connect on a spiritual level.  It forces us to slow down and take a deep breath."
