Let's face it ladies. We all (despite our greatest efforts!) will eventually start to show our age. It's just how Jesus meant for it to be. This does not mean that we must give up and roll with it. There are many tips and tricks that will help to hide those laugh lines that we've earned throughout the years. Through out this article, we will address many concerns and how we work through them. Enjoy!
First things first, every thing starts and ends with skincare. This is true for even the youngest of skin and, believe it or not, you are never to young to start your anti-aging regimen. How you treat your skin wears on your face kind of like the pages of a book. Your skin tells your story.
Use a serum that will help to plump out those fine lines and wrinkles. Serums with vitamin C are great for this purpose as they sink to the second layer of your skin making them more effective. Then top with a moisturizer that is going to keep you hydrated (perhaps one with hyaluronic acid). This will also help to diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles and keep you glowing all day.
Now that we have covered skincare, let's go through what you can do throughout your Makeup routine that will help to enhance your natural features.
1. Try using a foundation primer followed by a tinted moisturizer or a lightweight foundation. Using a thick and creamy foundation tends to draw more attention to the wrinkles simply because it will eventually settle into them. A primer will combat this and when paired with a lightweight foundation will look much more natural. Also, applying this with a brush instead of a sponge (I know its hard to put down your sponge that you have been using for years but it is for your own good!) will give you more coverage and lend to a much smoother appearance.
2. After applying your primer and foundation, follow with your concealer. Choose a concealer color that MATCHES your skin tone. Using the pad of your finger (simply because it gives you much more control over your blending) or a smaller concealer brush, apply your concealer over your problem areas such as redness, age spots, and dark circles. Try applying your concealer under the eye a little lower than you would normally and in an upside down triangular shape. There is no need to take your concealer all the way to your lower lash line as it may settle into wrinkles there. Now blend. This will really help to visibly "lift" your eyes!
There will be more to come with this one! I'm currently working on pictures to help best illustrate what to do with your eye makeup so stay tuned!!
As always, thanks for reading.
