What Kind of Makeup Should I Wear for Wrinkles?
- The first step in any wrinkle-eliminating routine is preventing more wrinkling. Moisturizing your face daily, or more if you have exceptionally dry skin, will keep your face hydrated. Dry skin wrinkles more quickly than healthy skin. Be sure your moisturizer has sun block of at least 15 SPF. Ultra violet rays from the sun damages and dries skin. Also be sure to exfoliate your skin daily. This removes dead skin cells that can clog pores and settle into wrinkles.
- Green neutralizing makeup should be applied to areas of your face where fine veins and red lesions are visible. Purple-based foundation masks yellowish skin and blemishes while a pearl-hued white foundation helps camouflage darker lesions. Skin discoloration and imperfections go hand-and-hand with age-related wrinkles. Test a sample of Make Up Forever Camouflage Cream on your skin if you're not sure what products work well on your face. And don't hesitate to test various makeup brands before settling on one that works well for you.
- Apply a very light coat of liquid concealer over your entire face. Be sure the concealer matches your skin tone, otherwise it will make your face look unnaturally darker or lighter. And also be sure to blend beneath the chin and neck so that it does not look like you're wearing a mask. If you're prone to breakouts, you may fare better with a powder concealer. Powder, however, can accumulate in your wrinkles and accentuate them, especially if your skin is more oily than dry. Time Balm anti-wrinkle concealer was developed for aging skin.
- Under-eye bags are notoriously difficult to camouflage. If your skin is too dry, concealer will look thick and chalky. Too oily and your skin could look shiny. After applying foundation, use a light-reflecting concealer under your eyes sparingly. Dab the concealer rather than rubbing it on with your fingers or a latex sponge. Repeatedly and lightly pat the makeup on with an eye brush until it is well blended. A light-reflecting product will mask the shadows under your eyes and will make them look more bright rather than dark and hollow. Estee Lauder light-diffusing makeup contains sun block.
- Finally, applying bronzer to your face will add definition and structure--something you may be slowly losing due to the natural aging process. Apply bronzer to your cheeks while smiling, and also along your cheekbones. Be sure to blend the edges of the makeup. Joey New York Bronzing Palette offers a choice of different shades.
