1. Hydration is the key to success
Girls with dry and combination skin, take note that before starting any makeup, the first thing you should do is moisturize your skin. Otherwise, even the smallest wrinkles will smile sarcastically through any makeup. Ideally, choose a moisturizing foundation. Don't forget: the tone should match your skin tone. A color that is too dark will make you look older, and a color that is too light will make you look like one of the characters from the Twilight Saga.
2. Masking with tone
When choosing foundation, avoid oil-based products and choose something with a silky texture.
When applying, start from the cheekbones, then move to the nose, then the chin and forehead. This should be done with gentle movements of the fingertips. You should not apply the tone to the nasolabial folds, just tint the areas around the wrinkles. This will help make your skin smoother.
To remove excess cream, use a sponge to go over the skin, especially in places where wrinkles appear.
3. Should you use concealer?
Absolutely yes. This will help visually even out the skin texture and hide shallow wrinkles. Makeup artists say one of the advantages of concealer is its ability to absorb quickly and last a long time.
4. Eyes are the mirror of the soul
And our souls are always young! To ensure your eyes always sparkle with youth, avoid loose powder, because... it only emphasizes wrinkles. Under-eye circles are well disguised with a light concealer. But if you want to emphasize the beauty of your eyes, outline only the upper eyelid and do not paint over the lower eyelashes, so as not to draw attention to minor age-related imperfections.
Now let's move on to the shadows. To ensure that they last a long time and do not smear, first apply foundation to your eyelids. In shades, give preference to pastel tones, 1-2 shades darker than your skin color. And that is not all! Use a white or beige pencil to draw the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid. Did you do everything right? Then your look will surely shine and conquer all the men of this planet.
5. A smile is our calling card
Yes, yes, everyone knows about it, and we never cease to delight others with a sweet, charming, seductive smile. But what to do with the wrinkles that have formed in the corners of the lips? Don't worry, they can be easily hidden with a light concealer. Gloss will also help make your lips look younger. The shades don’t matter; you can choose the color of your dress, your partner’s tie, or your mood. Just remember to highlight the middle part of your lips with a lighter shade, which will give extra volume to your lips.
6. The role of blush
For anti-aging makeup, blush with a creamy texture that masks rather than emphasizes wrinkles is more suitable. Blush looks very impressive in a combination of two shades: pink - on the “apples”
cheeks and bronze ones - below the cheekbones. This technique will refresh your face, lift your cheekbones, and therefore make your face look younger.
7. Ten hard “no’s” for anti-aging makeup
•Say no to greasy foundation.
•Do not choose a foundation that is too light.
•Do not overuse concealer: apply it only to problem areas with a special brush.
• “Don’t over-powder”: in order not to dry out the skin on the cheeks and under the eyes, and therefore not emphasize wrinkles, apply powder only to the T-zone.
•Do not wear dark eyeliner on the lower eyelid. Otherwise, it will make your eyes look smaller and highlight the circles and wrinkles under your eyes.
•Forget about pearlescent shadows that emphasize facial wrinkles.
•A firm “no” to mascara on the lower eyelashes.
•Avoid greasy and liquid lipsticks, which spread and accumulate in wrinkles, making your face look several years older.
•Do not use dark shades of lipstick: it makes you look old.
•Throw away orange and brown blushes, which look unnatural and draw undue attention to wrinkles.
Follow these simple rules, dear girls! Always remain young, attractive and cheerful! Love yourself, with or without wrinkles!!
Botox
Botox injections are the fastest and easiest way to get rid of mesh around the eyes. Just a couple of units of botulinum toxin can smooth out any wrinkles. The method of action is simple: Botox relaxes the muscles that we tense when we smile, squint in the bright sun, or try to see something.
This method copes with both expression and age wrinkles. The only thing is that you need to inject before the lines deepen and deform the deep tissues. The final result after Botox can be assessed two weeks after the procedure, and the effect itself will last from 2-3 months to a year.
Blepharoplasty
Minimally invasive procedures are becoming increasingly popular. Today, blepharoplasty is performed in 40 minutes. Unlike traditional surgery, an incision is made on the inside of the eye (on the mucous membrane), through which the fatty hernia is pulled out - the cause of the appearance of bags under the eyes and folds on the upper eyelid. What’s nice is that a couple of hours after the operation you can return to your normal lifestyle - there will be no swelling or bruises.
Permanent makeup
Few people know that permanent makeup has long been not limited to outlining the eyebrows and the space between eyelashes. Camouflage tattooing is a method of coloring the skin that helps to permanently get rid of dark circles and age spots around the eyes.
The technique is simple and familiar - using a special device, paint of a suitable shade is driven under the skin. The pigment hides traces of lack of sleep and the “panda effect” in one procedure. Bonus: after permanent makeup, wrinkles also become less noticeable, because the tone on the face is evened out, which is similar to applying concealer.
Makeup
Those who still prefer to hide wrinkles with concealer and foundation should also take into account a couple of important nuances. Must-have is a primer or base for makeup around the eyes. The product will fill in wrinkles so that concealer or foundation does not sink deep and highlight imperfections.
Among direct concealers, you should choose fluids or CC creams with a light watery texture. This will help not to overload your makeup and avoid the layering effect.
Home care
To hide crow's feet, sometimes it's enough to moisturize your skin well. It will smooth out quite quickly (an important point - this method is suitable for insolation and lack of fluid, and not for age-related changes, when hydration is also important, but does not solve the problem itself).
Various serums and eye patches will cope with the task. You need to apply patches every morning and do your usual activities - after 15–20 minutes, the skin will be saturated with liquid and will be perfectly smooth.
How to disguise nasolabial folds, crow's feet and get rid of wrinkles under the eyes.
Wrinkle correction is a pressing problem not only for older ladies, but also for fairly young women. Proper makeup will help you disguise crow's feet, nasolabial folds, get rid of wrinkles under the eyes - in general, it will make your face younger, fresher and more attractive.
Correction of wrinkles: the main thing is hydration
Before you start applying makeup, you should definitely moisturize your skin. On dry skin that needs hydration, even small wrinkles are especially clearly visible.
The ideal option is to choose a moisturizing and tinting cream at the same time. In this case, try to use a tone that matches your natural skin tone as closely as possible. A darker color will age you by several years. You can take a cream that is a little lighter than your skin: you will get the effect of a healthy glow, but then don’t forget about your neck!
When choosing a foundation, give preference to a product with a silky texture and an oil-free base. A thick, thick cream is not suitable for correcting wrinkles.
Skin toning and wrinkle correction
Start applying foundation from your cheekbones, moving towards your nose, chin and forehead. This should be done with light tapping movements of the fingers. Do not apply the cream to the nasolabial folds, but carefully tint the areas around the wrinkles: this way you can make the skin texture more even.
After applying the foundation, take the sponge in your hands and lightly walk it over the areas where wrinkles appear: this will remove excess cream.
Concealer will help hide wrinkles
Makeup artists recommend covering areas with wrinkles using water-based concealers (correctors), the color of which is slightly lighter than the skin. After application to the skin, this concealer is quickly absorbed, the area with wrinkles is visually evened out, and this effect lasts throughout the day.
Correction of wrinkles under the eyes
To get rid of wrinkles around the eyes, choose cream products, while avoiding loose powder: it will only emphasize the unevenness of the relief. If you notice dark circles under your eyes, you can cover them up with a light concealer.
Eye makeup should include lining only the upper eyelid: if you emphasize the lower eyelid, you will draw unnecessary attention to the fine wrinkles under the eyes.
This also applies to eyelashes: paint only the top ones.
The right shadows against wrinkles on the eyelids
Before applying shadow, cover your eyelid with foundation: this will ensure that the shadow will last a long time and will not smear. Choose shadows in natural pastel shades, one or two shades darker than your skin color, this will allow wrinkles to become less noticeable.
Kajal and correction of wrinkles with makeup
Eye makeup is not finished yet! Take a soft white or beige pencil and carefully draw the outline of the lower eyelid mucosa. This will add radiance to the look, and existing wrinkles will be completely lost in this radiance.
Correction of wrinkles around the lips
Vertical wrinkles are often visible in the corners of the lips, adding years of age. They can be quickly corrected with a light concealer. Gloss will help “smooth out” your lips and make them look more youthful - you can choose any shade, just don’t forget to paint the middle part of your lips with a lighter gloss, this spot will give your lips additional volume.
The role of blush in the correction of wrinkles
If you decide to do anti-aging makeup, blush with a creamy texture is suitable: they look more natural than crumbly ones and do not emphasize wrinkles.
The trick is to combine two shades of blush: pink should be applied to the “apples” of the cheeks, and bronze-colored blush should be applied a little lower than the cheekbones. This technique will “raise” your cheekbones, which means it will make your face look more youthful.
