As much as women like to talk about and think about things like beauty, health, and their overall “best self” – we live and age and continue to find new wrinkles. Of course, you may not feel like you’re showing any and it’s hard to pinpoint the moment that your skin starts showing a wrinkle or two, but if you’ve lived long enough to begin to notice wrinkles on your face or the number of wrinkles on your hands, you know what it’s like. It’s just one more thing that makes you feel older, and we have every right to feel that way.

You’re going to make mistakes. It’s part of the deal when it comes to looking after yourself, and as we age, a few of these mistakes are bound to happen. But with the right makeup, there’s no reason you can’t make sure your appearance remains youthful, radiant, and perfect.

This article is about how to cover wrinkles with makeup. It also explains the best ways to get those skin-lifting, glow-inducing, anti-aging benefits.

How to hide wrinkles with makeup

1. Use products that prevent or reduce wrinkles

Using creams that prevent or reduce wrinkles can be a good idea for most. It will help your face look softer and more youthful. Some creams reduce wrinkles, products that help the aging skin look plumper, and others that help even out skin tones. Some popular products that help reduce wrinkles are:

2. Don't use foundation too much

The first step to preventing your face from looking older is to avoid using too much foundation. Instead, opt for lighter shades. This will make your skin look more radiant and natural.

3. Darken your under-eye circles with blush

The way to conceal dark circles under the eyes is simple. Start with a little under-eye concealer in light or medium to cover any pigmentation. Then, with your fingers, gently apply the darkening color in the area that is under the brow.

To achieve a natural result, we recommend using a cream blush, like Bobbi Brown’s Cream Blush in Light to build up on the areas that need it.

Alternatively, you can apply concealer on the area first before applying blush. Make sure that the areas you use blush on are well moisturized so that the product spreads well.

4. Use a blush or concealer sparingly

The next way to look younger for the most part is to not overuse makeup products like blushes and concealers. Instead of using blush or concealer a lot, use it sparingly. If you want to use blushes and concealers more, use a small amount and mix them into your foundation. This is a less irritating and better way to use makeup.

5. Consider using a moisturizer

A last way to look younger is to consider using a moisturizer. Using a moisturizer every day will make your skin look softer and younger. When you apply moisturizer to your face, it seals in the moisture that your skin contains. It also keeps the moisture your skin naturally produces from evaporating.

If you’re a woman with lines and wrinkles that just won’t disappear, you’re not alone. It seems like everyone is asking you about them. You walk down the street and there they are, staring at you from under that layer of skin. But you can fight them. All you have to do is apply a little makeup and the problem is solved.
