Although the natural aging process of the skin cannot be stopped, you can make these wrinkles less visible with the correct cosmetic techniques. If you want to know how to hide fine lines and wrinkles with makeup, read this article’s simple tips and tricks.
1. Filling facial wrinkles with moisturizer
With age, the skin becomes drier, and wrinkles become more visible. To deal with fine lines and wrinkles on the skin, you need to restore the lost moisture to it. When the skin is well hydrated, wrinkles are much less visible, and the makeup sits better on the skin. Drink a lot of water to keep your skin hydrated, and use a skin moisturizer after washing your face and applying makeup. It is better to use moisturizers containing hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid plumps up the skin by absorbing water.
2. Use of retinoids
Retinoids stimulate the skin to make more collagen. Making more collagen also reduces wrinkles. You can buy over-the-counter retinol products or more potent retinoids with a prescription. Use these products as directed, and be patient. Most products show their effect after six weeks to 3 months.
Be sure to use sunscreen as well. Retinoids make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, and daily sunscreen use helps prevent wrinkles in the future.
3. Do not overuse antiaging creams
Use only antiagingproducts. Using many antiaging products usually irritates the skin and may make the signs of aging more visible. It’s best to start with one product and add another after a month or so.
In product descriptions, look for ingredients such as vitamin C or descriptions that include “peptide technology” or “growth factor technology”.
4. Use a suitable primer to sterilize skin and smooth it before using cream powder. Using primer as a makeup base reduces facial wrinkles. Use a silicone-based primer that fills in uneven skin texture and fine lines.
Many beauty experts recommend antiaging and pore-reduciantiagings. Antiaging products fill the depressions in the skin’s wrinkles and create a smoother surface.
Using your hands or a makeup brush is the best way to apply primer because the makeup sponge absorbs moisturizer; apply a dime-sized amount of primer to your skin. Focus on the problem areas of the forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin. Before using cream powder and other cosmetics, let the primer stay on the skin for a few minutes.
5. Umoisturizing and moisturizing cream powder
Matte and heavy cream powders make the skin look older. Therefore, using light and hydrating cream powder is the best option. Use concealer before foundation if you need more coverage to hide dark spots or blemishes. Don’t forget that heavy coverage will make fine lines and wrinkles more visible.
6. Do not overdo cream powder or replace it with CC cream.
More or heavier makeup is not an excellent way to hide wrinkles on the skin. Using cream powder with high coverage or consuming a lot of it accumulating in facial wrinkles will make them more defined and visible. You can use a cream powder with light to medimoisturizing and moisturizing coverage. By spreading cream powder with a makeup sponge, you can give your face a better and more beautiful effect. With a clean and wet makeup sponge, please tap on the cream powder so the skin absorbs and provides a natural and faded look. Be careful not to leave extra cream powder on the skin.
If you are not interested in using cream powder, you can replace it with a light CCmoisturizing moisturizing cream, which provides good coverage without highlighting fine lines and wrinkles.
7. Avoid using a lot of face powder or pancakes
Using a small amount of soft and light mineral powder makes the makeup tidy without accumulating in the lines and pores of the face. Use a pancake that contains micro-particles of mica that reflect light and give the skin a wonderful glow. Also, instead of a powder blush, use a cream blush that gives the skin a natural and radiant look and does not draw attention to the fine lines on the cheeks.
8. Pay special attention to eye makeup
Highlighting the eyes is one trick makeup artists use to draw attention away from facial wrinkles. Use matte eyeshadow instead of shimmery eyeshadow. Metals in shimmering eye shadows define fine lines and draw attention to skin wrinkles. Neutral colours work best.
Glitter or frosty eye makeup is also not good, as the eyeshadow ingredients will collect fine lines and make them more defined. Using matte eye shadow primer or concealer on the eyelids effectively prevents the eyes from looking dry. Use taupe, light brown, or grey on creased areas and a light beige shade along the lash line to hide wrinkles.
Another critical point is not to use artificial eyelashes. Artificial eyelashes define and highlight drooping eyelids or crow’s feet lines. If you want to give your eyelashes more volume and effect, curl them with an eyelash curler and apply mascara. Also, avoid liquid eyeliner because it settles in the crease.
9. Corremoisturizingp
By moisturizing and exfoliating the lip area, you can prevent the fine lines around the lips from appearing with lipstick. Using a sugar lip scrub, exfoliate around and on the lips. Exfoliators make your lips softer and stimulate new cell growth. Before applying lipstick, draw a line around your lips with a fat lip pencil that matches your lip colour. Use a long-lasting lipstick that stays put, moisturizes, and moisturizes. Gently and slowly apply the lipstick on the lips with your fingertips. At the end, use a little lip gloss on your lips. This will keep the colour of the lips constant.
10. Use eye cream to hide wrinkles around moisturizers.
Most moisturizers are hydrating enough to hydrate the area around the eyes. But with age, the area around the eyes becomes drier and loses elasticity. Therefore, older people need more protection and nutrition for eyelids and wrinkles around the eyes. Eye cream is a great help; you can hide wrinkles and fine lines.
11. Correcting and hiding spots
Orange-based concealers usually solve the problems of dark skin or hyperpigmentation. They are your secret weapon to reduce dark spots, darkness and blackness around the eyes, dark skin problems, and pigment accumulation. You can also use your orange or coral lipstick as a colour corrector!
12. Use a high-quality concealer
As you age, concealer will become your best friend because it hides lines and wrinkles better than cream powder. After using the cream powder, apply only a tiny concealer on the areas needing more coverage. Be sure to spread and blend the concealer well with a makeup sponge or your fingertips. To create an even coverage, spread the concealer on the skin by tapping the fingertips.
13. Not forgetting the neck
No matter how flawless and perfect your face makeup is, wrinkles on the neck can show your age. Therefore, you should also make up below the jawline and neck. You don’t need to make up the neck area too much. The neck makeup should be just enough to hide the wrinkles on the neck and match the face makeup.
14. Use blush
Instead of hiding the things we don’t like, we can highlight the best parts of our faces. If you want to distract others from your facial wrinkles, use a warm coral or peach blush on the apples of your cheeks and cheekbones. With this, your skin will look better, and your face composition will look balanced.
final word
Although Botox injection is still considered one of the standard methods to reduce facial wrinkles, there are other valuable ingredients for skin care. Look for products containing hyaluronic acid to fill fine lines, and add retinol to your nighttime routine to get the most out of its refined line-fading benefits.
