The cosmetics, if applied properly, can produce surprising effects in camouflaging the signs of aging skin, including the wrinkles and other age spots. Moreover, such cosmetics offer several additional benefits also by retarding water loss and providing a physical barrier to Ultra Violet radiation of the sunlight.
Moisturizers
- You should always apply the moisturizer before the foundation.
- In case the reddish discoloration is extensive on the face or the skin is sallow then tinted moisturizers are very helpful.
- The tinted moisturizers can be worn either alone or under foundation.
- Usually most of the moisturizers contain combinations of these and sometimes they have other ingredients as well such as AHA, sunscreens, collagen and keratin.
- Collagen and keratin, present in the moisturizers, leave a protein film and thus temporarily stretch the skin.
- The moisturizers range widely in price, though there is little difference in general between the more and less expensive products.
- In order to protect your skin from wrinkles note that large areas of the face could be best covered with a moderate-coverage foundation with a matte or semi-matte finish.
- The facial powder reflects light and thus minimizes the wrinkles but the people with dry skin should avoid it.
- In case the blemishes are especially prominent on the skin then colored undercover foundations, which are called ’neutralizers’ are very effective.
- Always keep in your mind that the green neutralizers mask red lesions, purple helps camouflage yellowish blemishes and the white, pearled base is recommended for the people with dark lesions.
- These all also helps in minimizing the wrinkles.
- The cosmetics that are effective for anti wrinkles also include the Blushes and color washes.
- These can help conceal the spidery network of dilated capillaries on the nose and cheeks of your face.
- Usually the powder blushes are preferred because they blend easily on top of foundations.
- Usually the powder eye shadows are easily applied on top of a moisturizer and therefore they are preferred to cream-based shadows.
- The appearance of deep-set eyes is best offset with light-colored eye shadow. It should be applied along the upper eyelid crease and also above the iris.
- After that a slightly deeper shade of the same eye shadow color should be applied to the lower part of the eyelid and drawn out to the corner.
- Always remember that the skin under the eyes is very thin and it does not produce as much of the protective oils that keep the skin soft and supple.
- The cosmetics such as the under-eye gels are aimed at reducing puffiness and dark circles.
- You should apply a lip setting cream or facial foundation before applying lipstick.
- Doing so will help prevent it from bleeding into surrounding wrinkles.
- Always remember that the lips should be lined with a lip-pencil because it acts as a border around the lips.
- Matte lipsticks with low petroleum content are especially recommended.
