Anti-wrinkle makeup: the must-have for mature skin to smooth and illuminate from age 40

As we age, make-up becomes less about coverage and more about softness. The right make-up product can smooth features without freezing expressions. In this way, a targeted routine helps skin to glow, even with fine lines.

Smoothing base for mature skin

A recent beauty dossier highlights the smoothing base enriched with hyaluronic acid. This make-up product creates a supple film that optically fills in micro-reliefs. It also limits the migration of foundation into creases.

Start by moisturizing, then apply a dab of base to the center of the face. Stretch outwards with light pressure. On the other hand, avoid applying too much to mobile areas.

Make-up artists insist: it’s better to smooth than to overload. In this way, skin looks fresher and make-up lasts longer. As a result, touch-ups become rarer as the day progresses.

“A good smoothing beforehand is worth two coats of foundation.”

Textures and rendering: how to avoid the mask effect

The choice of texture is as important as the formula. For a supple finish, a water-based make-up product blends in better than an overly siliconized gel. Also, a satin finish diffuses light without emphasizing relief.

By Terry – Hyaluronic Hydra Foundation. This fluid foundation combines hyaluronic acid with a light texture. As a result, it evens out while moisturizing, with a luminous finish that won’t mark wrinkles.

• Above all, moisturize even combination skin.
• Apply a dab, no more: finesse is key.
• Dab onto marked areas, do not rub.
• Leave the base on for 60 seconds before tinting.
• Choose neutral shades with warm undertones.

Target sensitive areas: eyes, furrows, lip contour

Under the eyes and around the mouth, it’s all about the millimeter. The right make-up product needs to be fine, but sufficiently eye-catching to avoid creasing. We also work in small touches to maintain mobility.

L’Oréal Paris – Revitalift Filler (Care base). Applied in a thin layer, thishyaluronic acid care base plumps up marked areas. It is also ideal for preparing the complexion and boosting make-up adhesion.

SkinCeuticals – H.A. Intensifier (Care base). A few drops of thisH.A. serum boost the skin’s water reserve. The skin’s texture then appears more supple, improving the application of the complexion.

Kiehl’s – Creamy Eye Treatment with avocado (Eye contour). Around the eyes, this avocado cream nourishes without leaving a greasy film. As a result, concealer glides on more easily and marks fine dehydration lines less.

Pro tools and gestures for smoothing without sticking

Trinny London – BFF Serum Eye Concealer. Half-care, half-make-up, this serum concealer blends in with no build-up. In short, this make-up product awakens the eyes while respecting the skin’s delicacy.

Dior – stick foundation. The stick format facilitates targeted touch-ups in shadowy areas. What’s more, it’s easy to tap with the finger to blend in the material, without excess thickness.

Morning/evening routine: prepare, even out, enhance

IT Cosmetics – CC+ Cream Your Skin But Better. This CC cream offers adjustable coverage and SPF 50+. Its cream texture visually smoothes pores and remains comfortable all day long.

Uriage – Age Absolu (Cream range; day + night duo). As a backdrop, Age Absolu day + night duo supports firmness and elasticity. As a result, the skin’s relief is visually smoothed, providing better support for make-up products.

For the complexion, apply a small amount and correct locally. Then fix with a fine powder only where it shines. A light setting spray can now replace powder on dry skin.

At night, carefully remove each layer to avoid drying out. In short, a moisturizing base nourishes, and the right make-up product reveals the skin without weighing it down. So, day after day, radiance becomes more even and features remain supple.
