Wrinkles and expression lines: erase them with these beauty tips
Going from smooth, even skin to one in which fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet are visible in all corners is a sign that the skin is reaching its. Don’t panic, it’s something we’re all going to go through at some point. What can we do to make the skin look like before? Or at least look as much like her as possible. Well, change our way of putting on makeup and incorporate these expert tricks into our daily beauty routine.
Moisturize the skin before putting on makeup
You already know very well how important it is to remove make-up and moisturize the skin every night so that the next morning it wakes up beautiful and radiant. However, when the passage of time begins to take its toll, you have to go a little further: hydrate your skin before putting on your foundation. IfayourNight cream works like a charm for you, get the same but for the day. Wash your face, apply a small amount of your moisturizer and, once the skin has absorbed it, you can start putting on your makeup. Be careful, if the sun usually rises every day of the year in your city, that your cream has a high sun protection factor, there is nothing like excess sun to accentuate wrinkles and leave spots.
Put on your foundation and cover all the wrinkles with it
We already have clean and super well hydrated skin, what’s next? Well, apply the make-up base. If your skin tends to be very dry, mix your foundation with a little of your moisturizer. Here the essential thing is not to make the mistake of putting layers and layers of foundation on every wrinkle there is, this will only make the makeup stay in the folds of the skin and, as a consequence, wrinkles that you don’t like so much look even more. Foundation yes, of course, but in its proper measure, in a color as similar as possible to your skin tone and always well spread and blended.
How to use concealer on wrinkled skin
Something similar happens with this with the makeup base, it is not worth putting on the more amounts the better, this would only make the expression lines accentuate as if by magic. Where do I put the concealer then? Solely and exclusively in these points: in the middle of the dark circle that is attached to the tear duct (remember, never in the eye bags), in the rictus, in the upper lip line, in the lines that are marked on both sides of the lips and between the eyebrows. Do not spread the concealer as if you were drying your skin after washing it, instead dab it with your fingertips so that it penetrates well. And, we say it again, always with a dropper, nothing to spend the concealer in a couple of days.
Sunbath? Yes, but always in its fair measure
It has become clear then that to make up skin with wrinkles, expression lines or crow’s feet; one of the keys is to apply the right amount of makeup. Well, in the case of sunbath powders, more of the same happens. Take your best brush, quickly sweep it through the sunbath powder and apply to the forehead and nose. Then change the brush and do the same with their blush but this time on the cheekbones. You will see how beautiful it looks on you!
This is how to use the illuminator
We couldn’t make a manual on how to apply makeup to hide wrinkles without talking about the highlighter. Where should it be put? Well, in any place that is intended to highlight as long as there are no wrinkles in sight. What does the illuminator do? Well, as its name indicates, it illuminates, therefore, if you put it on the wrinkles, they will be seen from afar. Better to use it to highlight other areas that are more beautiful, such as the cheekbone.
The perfect lipstick for you is…
Once we have our skin prepared, it is time to play to give it color and for this, there is nothing like using our favorite lipstick. Vivid colors for the night and softer for the day. Here the only rule that is really valid is that your lips must always be made up. Bringing attention to this area is to keep it away from wrinkles, expression and other signs of aging.
And for the eye shadow…
Mascara well put on and without lumps anywhere, line of the eye black as could not be and for the eye shadow… Powerful colors but always matte like burgundy or coral. Choose the one that goes with you the most according to your tastes and depending on the occasion in which you are going to wear it but that it is always well applied. Extend the shadow over the eyelid and blend well so that it is even. It doesn’t hurt that before putting on the eye shadow you apply a little primer; your make-up will stay intact much longer.
Draw and outline your eyebrows perfectly
Outline and draw you’re with a colored pencil. It is not that it is a makeup trick that helps to erase wrinkles, but it does help a lot to highlight your best areas and, therefore, distract attention from those that are not so good.
