Aging Skin &Thick Foundation

Aging Skin &Thick Foundation


 If you still slather foundation directly over aging skin, you're likely adding years to your look. That thick top coat tends to break into deep cracks, which look far worse than the fine lines you're trying to hide. Instead, apply moisturizer, primer, then a light liquid foundation for additional skin-plumping moisture. Try tapping it in gently with a sponge, rather than rubbing it in. Noevir Premake LX moisture spf20 is the perfect base. 




As you age, you experience many things -- puberty, pregnancy, menopause, pollution, sunlight, dry winters, humid summers, stress. Your aging skin experiences them too. And even if you take good care of your skin, life takes a toll on it.

But you can turn back the clock, at least a little, with makeup. By skillfully applying makeup, you can hide wrinkles, age spots, and sun damage and also play up your best features. Here are some tips from the professionals: makeup artists.

Hiding Fine Lines and Wrinkles

In trying to conceal fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, lips, and forehead, many women make the mistake of accentuating them instead by overdoing makeup. Too much makeup settles and cakes into lines, making wrinkles more noticeable.

Prevention begins with a moisturizer. "After you wash your face in the morning, apply moisturizer while the skin is damp, which will plump it up and even it out, helping makeup glide on," says Billy Lowe, celebrity hairstylist and beauty expert for television shows such as Extreme Makeover and TLC's 10 Years Younger.

Don't forget to moisturize around the eyes. "Packing on the makeup to cover lines or dark circles will cause it to crepe and bring out creases." To avoid a cakey look around the eyes, don't use heavy concealers.

"Learn your bone structure and features of your face," advises Bridget Winton, makeup instructor at the Bellus Academy of Beauty & Spa in San Diego. "Focus on your bone structure to lift the face. Give yourself a youthful look by using lighter and darker shades to make hard lines soft and soft lines hard."

For a sagging chin, for example, work with a foundation that is one or two shades darker than your facial foundation. Cover the darker area with a translucent powder.

Soft touch.... The benefits of facial massage

Want younger-looking skin? Here's the rub: Facial massage can firm, smooth and sculpt.       Beauty secrets of the Far East have long held appeal for Western women. But it's only recently that one of their key anti-aging weapons has entered the spotlight. Facial massage - a series of hand manipulation techniques that relax muscles and increase circulation - has its roots in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and has been practiced for more than 1,000 years to maintain health and beauty. Now, some of the biggest beauty brands are offering products that work best when coupled with specific massage techniques. "The theory in TCM is that your facial appearance is a reflection of your body's internal condition," says Mary Xiumei Wu, a doctor of TCM and president of the Toronto School of Traditional Chinese Medicine. "For instance, a kidney deficiency can show up as deep, dark circles under your eyes." While massage alone won't treat inter...
