Aging and the signs of aging are natural processes that we cannot prevent. But we can make them less noticeable with the right makeup techniques. If you want to know what makeup to use on wrinkles to hide them, you've come to the right place.
Of course, wrinkles are nothing to be ashamed of. But if they make you feel insecure and your self-confidence is suffering as a result, we are happy to help you find a solution.
Smooth the skin with a silicone primer
If you want to conceal wrinkles with makeup, what lies beneath your foundation is very important. A silicone-based primer with moisturizing properties is the best choice. It fills in the lines, prepares the face for subsequent products and ensures that the foundation lasts all day.
After moisturizing your face, use a small amount of primer on the center of your forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin. It is best applied with your hands or a small brush, as a sponge only absorbs the product. Allow it to absorb for a few minutes before applying your foundation and other makeup.
The right foundation for a dewy face
There is no need to apply more or heavier makeup just because you have wrinkles. If the foundation is applied too thickly, it will settle in the wrinkles and make them stand out even more clearly.
Choose a foundation with light to medium coverage that moisturizes. Make sure you use the right shade to avoid looking dull and dull. Apply with a damp sponge to soften and look smoother and more flawless.
You can also skip foundation altogether and use a tinted moisturizer instead.
Which make-up for wrinkles? A transparent concealer
Concealers aren't just for redness, dark circles and dark spots. They can be your secret weapon when it comes to reducing wrinkles.
It may sound strange to conceal wrinkles with a light coverage, sheer concealer, but it has a brightening effect and helps remove darkness from the area. On the contrary, full coverage products tend to make the skin look much older.

Avoid powder
The makeup pros reveal that the biggest mistake when concealing wrinkles is covering your face with too much powder. The powder tends to settle into the fine lines and wrinkles of the skin and make them look even worse. An extremely dull face increases wrinkles and lines and even makes you appear older.
But if you can't do without powder, look for a loose mineral powder and apply it only around the eyes and in the middle of the forehead.
Which eye make-up for wrinkles?
Glittery and matte eye makeup settles into the fine lines and makes them even more visible. It only draws attention to the areas you are trying to hide. To emphasize the eyes and not appear older, use taupe, light brown or gray eyeshadow on the crease and apply a light beige shade along the lash line.
Avoid false eyelashes as theythe droopy eyelidsand emphasize crow's feet. Instead, use an eyelash curler and mascara to add curl to your lashes.
Skip the liquid eyeliners as they also settle into the wrinkles. Apply an eyeliner pencil only to the upper lash line, choosing a softer tone.
Prep lips to conceal wrinkles
No makeup look is complete if the lips are not perfectly made up. But you should prepare them before applying a lip color to prevent the lipstick from getting the tiny onesWrinkles around the mouthhighlights.
Use a lip primer to create a smoother base for your lipstick and keep lips moisturized. Then line your lips with a clear lip liner to prevent the lipstick from bleeding throughout the day.
Finally, apply the lipstick of your choice by staying away from matte and dark lip colors. Instead, opt for shades that have hints of pink and mauve.
Don't forget your neck
No matter how flawless your facial makeup is, don't forget your neck either. Don't put too much makeup on it, but you want it to be just enough to hide the neck wrinkles and match your full makeup look.
If your neck is much paler than your face, you can apply some bronzer instead of using more makeup.
