As you enter your 40s, your skin is the first thing to betray your age, no matter how hard you try to stay young. It is certain that your skin will lose its elasticity and shine as the skin cells weaken; it will start to sag and wrinkle sometime during its fourth decade, especially if it is thin. Even if there is nothing you can do to reverse the first signs of aging, you can definitely hide them very successfully. The following makeup tips will help you look your best by helping you cover up your wrinkles:
1. Avoid using foundation as much as possible, as it will only sit inside your wrinkles and make them more prominent. It is best to use a tinted moisturizer to hide skin flaws. If any part of your face needs additional coverage, a very light foundation will suffice. However, it is better to opt for darker shades instead of lighter ones to hide wrinkles.
2. Do not apply powder to your skin under any circumstances as it will make it look dull and highlight wrinkles. In fact, you should always go for creams over powders when it comes to all your makeup, including blush and eye shadow.
3. Make your skin look smoother by applying moisturizer before using any other products. Moisturizer will not only temporarily fill in your wrinkles, but it will also make your skin look bright and youthful.
4. Use a highlighter pen to cover the wrinkles on your face. It can be used to hide frown lines and crow’s feet with equal ease. It is also very effective in covering wrinkled and discolored skin under the eyes.
5. Highlight your eyes to draw attention away from other parts of your face. Apply eye makeup with a deft hand and keep it light or else the effect will be unintended aging. Don’t forget to groom your eyebrows well.
You will be able to erase years from your age if you can successfully hide your wrinkles. Also, you should wear the glossy lipstick to make your lips look fuller. You should also get a good hairstyle that helps you look younger than your age. In fact, these tips will allow you to stay young for as long as possible without resorting to surgical treatments.
