Reducing wrinkles with make-up
As we age, wrinkles and fine lines become difficult to escape. Whether they’re small or large, there are simple make-up techniques to reduce their appearance. Follow the guide!
The first wrinkles usually begin to appear at the corner of the eyes in the thirties and gradually settle over the years on the whole face. Their formation is linked to both internal factors (normal ageing of cells, hormonal changes, etc.) and external factors (sun, tobacco, pollution, etc.).
When wrinkles are present, the complexion is often duller and less even. The aim is to even out the complexion and lighten wrinkles and shadows on the face. Eye and lip make-up will also contribute to the rejuvenation of the facial features.
Since I've been using a bit of liquid foundation, my complexion is brighter and I feel younger.
"Blurring" wrinkles to rejuvenate your face takes several steps.
The first step is to even out the skin tone. After moisturising your skin, a liquid foundation will help you achieve an even skin tone. For a rejuvenating effect, choose a shade lighter than your natural skin tone: darker shades harden the features and accentuate the shadows caused by wrinkles. Dispense a dime-sized amount on your fingertips, then smooth from the centre to the edges (not forgetting the neck).
Now you can reduce your expression lines and facial shadows with this simple technique: brighten them to create a sense of volume! For this, choose the beige concealer brush. Apply a thin layer to the centre of your forehead, under the eyes, the crow's feet, frown lines, nasolabial folds, corner of the nose, marionette lines and the hollow of the chin. Tap with your fingertip to blend the concealer.
The right foundation to hide wrinkles
Wrinkles are reduced and your complexion is evened out. All that's left is to set your make-up, while giving your face a glow. The brightening mosaic powder will help you: with a large brush, take the powder by mixing the shades and apply it to the whole face.
For a youthful effect, apply a touch more powder to the high points of the face (middle of the forehead, top of the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, above the lips and centre of the chin) with a smaller brush.
For a lifted effect, use the healthy glow or sun mosaic powder by applying it to the top of the cheekbones and moving up towards the temples.
To satisfy your skin's need for hydration, don't hesitate to add an extra step to your make-up routine. Invest in a serum to apply before your day cream in order to boost the effectiveness of the cream. The serum increases the luminosity of the complexion, has a plumping effect and prevents make-up from seeping into fine lines and wrinkles. You won't regret it!
To finish off your make-up and prolong its hold, spray some thermal spring water about 20 cm from your face. And don't forget that removing make-up is the first step in keeping your skin young.
