L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation
It has been formulated specifically not to settle into lines, its lightweight blend of hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and aloe hydrates as it helps skin look more even.
If your skin is dry, your foundation is more likely to cling to any dry patches and settle into wrinkles. So make sure to hydrate your skin well before applying foundation. Margina: Hydrating the skin plumps up the skin, which helps to keep makeup from settling into fine lines.
“Choose a water-based formula that has hydrating ingredients," like moisturizing glycerin or hyaluronic acid, Whelan advises. "Foundations that have sheer coverage and a dewy luminous finish work best with women who are concerned about lines and wrinkles." ✔️ Dewy foundations are better than matte.
"Lightweight makeup, such as BB creams, tinted moisturizers or airbrush makeup is great for giving coverage without accentuating fine lines and wrinkles," says Kiralee Hubbard, a makeup artist and founder of Aeroblend Airbrush Makeup.
If you've ever thought your makeup makes you look more wrinkled, it might be by virtue of dehydrated skin. Makeup has a way of leaching the moisture from the skin, accentuating pores, and highlighting fine lines and wrinkles. So if your skin looks worse with foundation, this could be a major culprit.
Choose: Liquid foundation
"Powder can actually settle into wrinkles and accentuate them, but liquid products act like a filler for a smoother finish," Bruzzesi says. If you've got large, visible pores, liquid is also your best bet (the filler thing, again).
When it comes to the best foundation to hide wrinkles, you want something sheer and hydrating, say, like BOUNCE Liquid Whip Foundation. Our weightless, buildable, full-coverage foundation gives you a natural matte finish that wears for up to 24 hours without clinging to fine lines or wrinkles.
StriVectin's skin care infused LINEblurFECTOR Instant Wrinkle Blurring Primer instantly fills and blurs the look of deep wrinkles while prolonging makeup wear.
Make sure you exfoliate your face and have a good routine to keep your face clean before applying foundation on. Also, try and minimise the amount of products used on your face as this already increases creasing. Sometimes opt for a little bit of concealer on the areas of concern.
Quinn emphasizes that the most important tip for applying foundation to mature skin is the prep step right before foundation. "The skin needs to be hydrated before any foundation is applied. Massage in your face and eye creams, use a roller for added penetration, and follow up with a brightening primer," he says.
Clinique even better clinical serum foundation
Serum formulations are a godsend for more mature complexions. They blend with the skin (rather than lying on top and then settling into lines) and bring the benefit of skincare ingredients such as the vitamin C, salicylic acid and hyaluronic acid present here.
Hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Juvederm, others).
This natural component of the skin's connective tissue is the most common filler used for wrinkles. The results typically last 6 to 12 months.
Use a concealer that won't sit heavily on your skin.
Look for products that say “light coverage” and “wrinkle-reducing” to keep your skin looking smooth and soft. With a concealer, less is more. Try to focus on areas that really need it, like your under eyes, and keep it off the rest of your skin.
✔️Choose a lightweight, dewy formula.
The more lightweight a foundation is, the less likely it will settle into fine lines and wrinkles, and will help the skin appear more plump and moisturized, according to Greenberg.
Cream makeup is more pigmented than powder
Cream makeup is the perfect medium to deliver more pigment to your skin, while still allowing for your skin's natural radiance to glow through. This is essential for women with mature skin who may deal with redness or age spots that a powder alone could not cover.
All you need is a few puffs to get a soft matte finish or a luminous glow without the oily shine. This translucent powder delivers sheer coverage and incredibly hides wrinkles and blemishes. Acting as a veil, it delivers a consistent finish, giving you the confidence to flaunt wherever you go.
Says Saloni Gupta, Delhi-based makeup artist, “If it is during the day, your makeup has to be very natural and the finish should be like second skin. The bride can opt for Chanel Aqua Lumiere, Chanel Perfection Lumiere or for a budget-friendly option, the Maybelline Dream Satin is a great option.
Opt for Liquid Foundations
This is because powder foundations tend to settle into fine lines and wrinkles, making them more apparent. Liquid foundations and tinted moisturizers, on the other hand, often feature hydrating ingredients and a dewy finish, which are both flattering for this skin type.
Dehydrated or dry skin can cause makeup to clump and cling into dry patches. Your face can look like it's peeling when you put on foundation. Oily skin can also cause makeup to split on the face. Following an appropriate skin care routine and preparing your skin before makeup application is an essential step.
