Anti Aging Make-up

By Vanessa May

Painting the palette. Gilding the lily. That's what make-up is. It is used to cover up the flaws - discolorations, wrinkles and all. So that you look like a better and improved version of you.

But today, because of the creativity and innovations of the make up industry has raised its usefulness to a new level. Makeup can now help in the fight against aging. Botofirm, Vitamins E, Vitamin A and Retinol are just some of the ingredients infused into the makeup to give it renewed firmness and suppleness.

It's also important for the makeup to have sun protection factor (SPF), as this will prevent the sun from making its damage to the skin. Today, not just the foundation can be anti-aging, even blushes, lipsticks and eye shadows can help ward off wrinkles.

Now, let's talk about the right way to use makeup. With the proper way of applying makeup, you can take years off your face. First, go light when applying the makeup, especially when it comes to foundations and concealers. When you put on too much, it will only look cakey and dry and will show the wrinkles that you were trying so hard to hide.

Another helpful makeup property will be its ability to reflect light. With this kind of makeup, light is reflected away from the face. The result will be a brighter looking face. Another step that has a brightening effect on the face is putting on makeup primer. The primer smooths the face so that there are few areas of unevenness and less pronounced wrinkles. It is also prudent to avoid too much use of powder, as this will just point out your flaws.

The makeup should also have staying power. Nothing ages the skin like smudged make-up, especially the eye-liner and the mascara. The dark circles under the eyes will show and make you look older. So, when using eye-liner and mascara, use it with discretion.

Now, it is best to remember that aside from anti-aging makeup, you should also not forget to take good care of your skin by regularly cleansing, exfoliating, as well as moisturizing it. - 30292
