Do you ever think like your wrinkles aren’t visible until you put on makeup? Does it appear like the more foundation and powder you utilize, the more your wrinkles show? It’s not merely your imagination as inappropriate makeup application as well as practicing the wrong type of makeup can make you look older. Here are the Makeup Tips to overcome the wrinkles. 

Fine lines and wrinkles come from thinning, lack of elasticity and dehydration of the skin.You can battle this by trying the following:

Cleanse Your Skin

Never implement makeup on a dusty face, make sure you wash your face thoroughly before implementing makeup. Choose a gentle cleanser to prevent from stripping your skin of its natural oils.

Moisturizer

Moisturizer will serve to even out your skin by lightening any dry patches or blotches; it also assists to give your skin a barrier to the makeup you apply onto your face.

Primer

Implementing a primer will equip your skin for the foundation so that it sets on your skin smoothly, rather than sneaking into the slits of your wrinkles. This causes any wrinkles you might have to look more pronounced.

Use Concealer and Loose Powder

If you’re trying to avoid bringing more attention to your wrinkles, use a concealer and loose powder instead of foundation as this is the better way to go. You will notice that loose powder will reflect light, helping to cover any imperfections you might have. To further help cover wrinkles look for a concealer with a white base color.

Foundation – Choose foundations or tinted moisturizers that are yellow-toned, as they tend to tone down redness or ruddy skin very well. Avoid thick foundation. Keep it sheer to avoid textures that will highlight your wrinkles instead of hiding them. If you have too many freckles or brown spots, you may use cream or gel bronzer to correct that and add some healthy glow to your skin. If you have some extra fullness around your chin, you can use foundation to conceal that problem by applying a thick line of foundation along your jaw line with a Q-tip, blurring the line with a sponge, then drawing attention upwards with a good cheek and eye makeup.

Eyes – As women age, their eyebrows tend to become more sparse. Use an eyebrow pencil to draw feather like brows that follow your natural hair direction. The color of your brow pencil should match your natural brow and hair color. As for the eye-shadows, try to use softer and more neutral tones that will create a certain depth to your eyes instead of flattening out the areas as brighter colors do. If you have droopy eyelids, use eye contour shadow to give them a “lift” by applying contour shadow at the outer corners first, then blending it carefully as you move in towards the nose.

Lips – Avoid lipsticks that are too dry or too glossy, as they tend to bleed into the cracks on your lips and get a natural look. Lip liner is a good makeup tool for older women because it helps stop color from bleeding into those fine lines. If your lips seem to have shrunken in size, color your lips completely and use lip liner to line the outside ridge.

Proper Application Techniques

Many women use makeup to hide wrinkles, but when the makeup is not applied properly, it can make the wrinkles more visible. Instead go for a more natural appearance to avoid the dry, cracked look. If you are unsure what is best for you, then visit the makeup counter at your local department store to sample various brands and tones. Women don’t take advantage of this free service with makeup consultants enough – you might be surprised at what you learn!

Always remember that a good skin exfoliation, regeneration, and hydration program can help with fine lines. Also implement a good anti aging product into your routine to help keep your skin looking youthful, preferably one that contains natural ingredients.

Makeup is meant to be a compliment to your skin, so choose wisely when you apply. These make-up tips combined with quality anti wrinkle products will help to minimize the wrinkles you have and prevent new wrinkles from forming, allowing the real you to shine through.
