#Prepare your skin
Proper preparation of the skin is the most important basis for good make-up for wrinkles. It is very important to exfoliate your skin to remove old and dead skin from your face. Tip: Exfoliation is not recommended very often, 2-3 times a week should be enough.
Use an anti-aging serum: Choose products that contain vitamin C and vitamin E in their ingredients, especially when combined. Vitamin A products are also recommended, but they can make skin more photosensitive.
Prepare your skin by moisturizing it
NEVER skip moisturizer: Having a skincare routine that includes moisturizers is important for any skin type, but specifically to cover up wrinkles with makeup, you need to have super-hydrated skin first. Look for moisturizers that contain natural oils to keep your skin looking shiny. Jojoba oil is a great ingredient for mature skin!

Top 7 Mistakes When Using Concealer For Wrinkles – And How To Fix Them
#Which foundation in old age?
The best make-up base for mature skin with pronounced expression lines is a light liquid foundation with a moisturizing finish and an additional sun protection factor. Avoid the matte finish on foundations for oily skin as it will make your wrinkles appear deeper. Pay attention to light formulas. A moisturizing or satin liquid foundation is the best choice, especially if your skin has become drier over the years. Tip: Choose a water-based formula with moisturizing ingredients like moisturizing glycerin or hyaluronic acid. A highly recommended way to conceal wrinkles is to use a tinted moisturizer, as this product allows you to even out the tone of your skin while keeping it hydrated.

#Less is more when it comes to concealing wrinkles
The products you put on your face and your makeup products should be very little. Less is more – that’s a golden rule when it comes to make-up from the age of 40. A thick layer of make-up doesn’t cover wrinkles, it makes them even more noticeable! Too much makeup can also stress your skin and clog your pores. Tip: Apply just a dab of foundation to each side of your nose and to the center of your forehead and chin, then blend outwards. After blending, check if there are any other spots where imperfections are visible and apply a thin layer of foundation to those specific areas if necessary.

#Which concealer for wrinkles?
Use a liquid concealer that has medium coverage but leaves a luminous and hydrated finish. Apply just a few drops to the area to be covered and blend perfectly with a beauty blender. Use only a small amount of product, only what is needed to cover the imperfection. The key is to use lighter formulas and apply sparingly to avoid wrinkling.

#Be extra careful with powdered products
We’re used to using a lot of powder on young, oily skin to achieve a matte and clean finish. But with mature skin, you just have to forget this rule! Simply apply the powder in strategic places and not all over the face. These areas can be your forehead, your nose or your chin – depending on which areas you tend to have oily skin in during the day. If you don’t have oily spots, omit the powder.

#Use a liquid highlighter instead of a powder highlighter
The highlighting technique is even more important for women who want to conceal their wrinkles. Because the highlighter generally gives a younger look, it adds a natural glow to the face. Simply apply a little of a liquid formula to your cheeks and be sure to blend the product in well afterwards.
