15.07.2019

A woman remains faithful to the chosen makeup from a young age to gray hair, which sometimes ruins her. Having once given preference to lipstick of a juicy shade, with which she invitingly painted her lips in her youth, or to shadows that phosphorize in color, she is no longer able to part with them. And he does not want to admit that such a make-up betrays the past years. But with the help of cosmetics, you can not only emphasize your unfading features, but also visually throw off a dozen years, make-up artist Tatyana BOYKO is sure.

Tatiana BOYKO is an international make-up artist, head of the BOYKO BEAUTY SCHOOL author's school of style and make-up, author of the three-volume "The Art of Reincarnation".

Modeling Law: Make Your Face Beautiful, Not Makeup

Tatyana, age-related changes in women of elegant age, especially in those who have entered the time of menopause, appear on the face in the truest sense of the word. Ebbs and flows are accompanied by redness, sweating, and sometimes even greasy skin. Maybe for this time to give up cosmetics?

In no case! It is makeup that allows you to hide age-related problems, which helps a woman to feel attractive and confident. You should use those cosmetics that will help even out the tone of the face and model it. And for this you will need: foundation, concealer (to mask certain problem areas) and powder.

Why is this necessary?

Any face has its own flaws, and they only get worse with age. The oval loses its sculpturality: a second chin appears, the cheeks go down, and nasolabial folds are added. And the eyes sink deeper, which in turn deepens their inner corners. The temporal zones also collapse, which gives the face an emaciated look. First, small, and then deep mimic wrinkles appear. In short, facial muscles lose their elasticity and sag along with skin turgor.

Modeling the face with decorative cosmetics allows you to visually reduce age-related changes, and in some cases, hide them.

How can this be achieved?

Primarily due to the play of light and shadow. As you know, a light color visually enlarges any area. But dark, on the contrary, diminishes and deepens. It is necessary to model the face, guided by this principle, "stretching" the deeper zones at the expense of light tones and hiding others with the help of dark ones.

A light foundation, as close as possible in color to the skin, helps to lighten all age-related changes (nasolabial folds, inner corners of the eyes, sunken temples, etc.) and thus visually rejuvenate the face.

Rules for applying foundation:
A properly selected foundation is one that is not visible on the face.
Modeling the face and choosing the correct makeup scheme is necessary in a straight position.
When applied densely to the face, the color of the foundation may change. If it has an additional pink tone in its composition, then the entire face tone, respectively, may become pinker; if yellow, it can impart unwanted yellowness to the skin. This rule also applies to concealer and powder.

The concealer (instead of it you can use a dark-colored foundation or powder) allows you to darken all the bulges that go beyond the oval of the face, and thus make it smaller. This applies to the chin, the corners of the lower jaw, the extended area of the forehead.
Working with light and dark tones involves maintaining a balance: the more areas are lightened, the fewer dark areas can be, and vice versa.

Should I apply blush?

Necessarily! Women of elegant age should master blush perfectly. Over the years, the skin becomes somewhat lifeless, sometimes with a characteristic olive tint. Initially, foundation helps to revive it. But blush helps to refresh the skin tone.

How to apply blush for women of elegant age:

In the area of "frosty" cheeks;
on the convex zone of the motionless eyelid.
sometimes - on the forehead and chin.

How to apply makeup for a long time

The trouble with all women is unstable makeup. Even the most expensive decorative means do not save from it.

It's not about them, although, of course, a lot depends on high-quality cosmetics. But the durability of the makeup directly depends on the base applied. And for this, the skin must be prepared in advance: it must be clean and dry. And the drier and cleaner it is, the more permanent the makeup will be.

In real life, it looks quite simple: wake up in the morning and immediately wash your face, apply a cream on your face (in winter - nourishing, in summer - moisturizing). In 20 minutes (this time can be used to prepare breakfast), the cream will help the cells to start working and penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis, and then you should apply makeup on properly prepared skin.

Long-lasting make-up assumes the correct sequence of its application. On clean, dry skin, first apply a foundation, then a corrector, and finally, powder as a fixing agent.

If, in addition to the cream, other fatty or sticky agents are used, for example, serum, then upon further fixing with powder on the face, the effect of "plaster" appears.

Applying makeup assumes the same ratio of greasy to dry products. This is the only way to guarantee its durability. And to avoid layering will help the minimum use of fatty products before applying powder.

What if sweat penetrates the entire applied base and pours out in a hail?

Never wipe it with your hand, or even blot it! All makeup can be removed this way.

Use a touching motion to dab your face with a tissue.
Go to a cool room and wait for the sweat to evaporate
naturally and then touch up your makeup.

Such measures are necessary for the simple reason that moisture forms between the skin and the foundation layer, and when the makeup is corrected, all applied layers are disturbed, and each touch can become detrimental to the makeup as a whole.
Tip: Limit the use of water.

Make eyes: choose soft lines and dark shadows

Women always strive to emphasize their eyes in all possible cosmetic ways, but especially in adulthood. It doesn't always work out well. What advice do you have?

Conventionally, the eye makeup technique can be divided into three groups. This is a technique of applying from light to dark, very popular in Soviet times as "banana", "arrow" scheme and smoky eyes. Let's try to figure out which of them can be recommended for women of mature age.

The choice of the winning scheme depends on the structure of the eyelid. Before choosing eye makeup, you should remember the anatomy of the eyelid, which consists of the upper and lower. The upper eyelid, in turn, is divided into movable (from the ciliary contour to the dividing fold) and fixed (from the fold to the eyebrow).
In my author's techniques, I adhere to one important rule: the color before the relief and behind it must be the same. And this means that the selected tone, located on the moving eyelid, must be repeated on the fixed eyelid in the same saturation.

The technique "from light to dark" is unreasonably popular and in most cases unsuccessful, because in it the color is different up to and beyond the dividing fold of the eyelid. The technique of applying such makeup will emphasize the asymmetry of the eyes, which is typical for most.

There is also a feature that we talked about at the very beginning: light tones stretch the failed areas to the level of the general plane of the face, dark ones hide the volume or large size of any area. If, guided by this rule, try to model the eyes, then you can achieve the same effect as with the face, with the only difference that the shadows of light tones will increase the area of the zone around the eyelids, but at the same time visually “reduce” the eyes, emphasize the drooping eyelids, “sinking” eyeball, etc.

It is important to avoid pearlescent eyeshadows. They are characterized by a special structure that will emphasize the relief of the skin and focus on wrinkles, both large and small.
Colored shadows will make the look look vulgar.

Beautiful makeup has nothing to do with a beautiful face. The creation of a beautiful face assumes the maximum corrective effect, the correctness of the lines, the clarity of proportions, the absence of asymmetries and the use of natural tones. And these are, first of all, tones that are as close as possible to the color of the skin (starting from pastel beige, light brown, dark brown and even black).

Colored shadows are used to create beautiful makeup, and natural shades of predominantly brown are used to create a beautiful face.

Arrows. Only those with clear eye shapes can use this technique. But, as a rule, age begins to manifest itself precisely in sagging eyelids, "covering" the movable eyelid or, conversely, tightly fitting it (deep-set eyes). In such cases, the "arrow" can be broken, or even disappear altogether.

In addition, over the years, the structure of the skin takes on a clearer pattern than in youth. Because of this, the drawn "arrow" can emphasize the unevenness of the skin structure, but in no way simulate the eyes.

You can apply the arrow along the eyelash edge only if it will be further shaded with the help of shadows.

Smoky eyes. Silent film actresses used only charcoal and powder to give their eyes a languid look. The star of black-and-white cinema Vera Kholodnaya, looking from the screen with thickly lined eyes, made all viewers look at them with adoration. Today it is not at all necessary to use improvised means to achieve such an effect. Smoky eyes is multivariate and assumes a different degree of darkening of both the upper eyelid (both movable and fixed) and the lower, and their joint combination.

How to apply smoky eyes to women of elegant age

Don't darken your eyes below. So they can be “pulled” instead of being lifted.
The dark color hides the overhanging of the upper eyelid, therefore it is necessary to make smoky eyes with darkening only of the upper eyelid (mobile and fixed). Those who have a mobile eyelid is high and open enough, they do not need to stretch the color higher, to the immovable eyelid. It will be enough to darken only the ciliary contour.
It is good to use a dark color: the more intense it is, the more effective the simulation result will be.

Age is betrayed by thin lips: we hide it with lipstick and a pencil

Should you choose your lipstick color carefully too?

No, you can experiment with it and use any tones, from coral to red.

Another thing is that plump lips are a sign of youth and beauty. And over the years they become thinner, sink, or even completely fail. This is why many women are so eager to visually enlarge them through various means. Regular lipstick and lip liner will help to cope with this task.

How to properly paint lips for women of elegant age

Be sure to outline the lip contour with a pencil. This will avoid untidiness and further spreading of lipstick;
First, draw lips with a pencil, then powder them and only then apply lipstick in two stages: first on the lips in a calm position of the mouth and then on the stretched lips.
First, place the lipstick where your lips meet and stretch it to one corner and then to the other. Draw the lower lip as well. This technique will allow you to avoid excessive ingress of paint into the corners of the lips and spreading it along the folds.

The most important thing in lip makeup is to avoid nacre when choosing a texture. It is he who will emphasize the ugly age relief and betray the "deception" of lip augmentation. And, of course, there should be no obvious contrast between lipstick and contour pencil. By the way, the presence of red pigment in the latter makes the lips "sore."

If a lipstick of a bright color is chosen, does that mean that the eyes should no longer stand out?

For age-related makeup, this rule does not work. Everything is permissible here. You can immediately accentuate your eyes, lips, cheeks, and eyebrows. But, of course, remember the measure that defines elegance.

Wrinkles in the lower part of the face are a common problem for women, and not always due to age-related skin changes. Let's figure out how you can mask the nasolabial folds with the help of skillful makeup and visually throw off at least 5-10 years.

Causes and prevention of the appearance of nasolabial folds

Although the most common wrinkles around the nose and lips appear due to age, this is not the only option. Overweight, a specific structure of the face, or improper skin care can also provoke their occurrence. And if you rewind years ago or correct the contour of the face without surgery will not work, then everything else is fixable.

With overweight, everything is clear - you should try to get rid of it, as well as from bad habits, as well as normalize nutrition and increase water consumption. As for care, scrubs should be used from a young age, and after 30 years also intensive chemical peels should be used. By removing the top layer of the skin and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, they help to remove small wrinkles and reduce the appearance of more visible wrinkles. In addition, the day cream for the skin is no longer enough to fully moisturize. It is necessary to add to it a night cream, nourishing serums and masks.

Also, massage is an excellent tool for correcting age-related changes in the skin of the face, and it does not necessarily have to be performed by a specialist in the salon. Simple stroking, patting, pinching and kneading movements with your own hands will be enough to stimulate blood circulation and strengthen the muscles of the face.

More radical means - mesotherapy, beauty injections with hyaluronic acid or various nourishing and moisturizing compositions, the introduction of fillers under the skin or plastic surgery. They are all effective, but expensive and not always safe.

Makeup and preparation for it

The whole principle of masking nasolabial folds with various cosmetics is based on the play of light and shadow, that is, on the skillful use of dark and light shades. Since the light color has the property of visual enlargement, with its help the deepened zones (i.e. wrinkles and other hollows) seem to be stretched, and the excessively convex areas are reduced and deepened with dark corrective agents.

An ideal foundation would be a liquid or semi-liquid product with reflective particles, perhaps even combining a masking and moisturizing effect. Too dense "foundation" will collect in all the folds of the face, and too oily - will lead to an unpleasant glossy shine. All this will only accentuate nasolabial and other wrinkles.

Disguise correctly

Necessary cosmetics and accessories: moisturizer, foundation, highlighter, bronzer, concealer, light powder, makeup brushes.

In order for all concealers to lie on the skin as best as possible, the face must be properly prepared. After standard caring procedures - washing, toning, applying cream and / or serum - apply a leveling base agent. It partially fills in wrinkles, evens out the color and texture of the face, after which the foundation will lie smoother.
Next, a foundation is applied: on most of the face - a slightly darker shade, on the area around the nose and mouth - a little lighter.
A small amount of concealer is applied exclusively to the area of the nasolabial folds, which matches the natural skin color as much as possible, or, in extreme cases, slightly darker than it. An alternative to concealer is a matte browbone with a reflective effect. It is very important to choose the right shade depending on whether there is yellowness or pinkish tint in the natural skin color.
Further, the contours of the face are sculpted with a bronzer and a light matte highlighter. A dark tone is applied to the outer edges of the forehead, areas under the cheekbone, the double chin area. Light - on the back of the nose, the area above the upper lip, in the central part of the forehead, above the cheekbones and along the edges of the upper eyelids.
Make-up is fixed with a light colorless powder, and it is desirable that it contains reflective particles.
The finishing touch to your makeup is to apply lipstick or lip gloss that is soft but not greasy. If a pencil is used, it should not contrast strongly with the lipstick / gloss shade. Too thin lips, it is better to try to visually enlarge a little.

Bright shades of lipsticks and lip products with a lot of shimmer attract additional attention to the lower part of the face and, accordingly, to the nasolabial folds, so that older ladies are better off using a calmer beige-pink color scheme and abandon shiny lipsticks and glosses.

Makeup mistakes

So that instead of masking the nasolabial folds not to emphasize them, on the contrary, even more, you should not:

use too oily foundation;
choose a foundation that is much lighter than the skin tone;
abuse concealer and powder;
apply unnatural shades of blush;
use oily and liquid lipsticks;
apply makeup in a thick layer - in this case, after some time, it will certainly begin to roll down and accumulate in the natural depressions of the skin, only making them more noticeable;
choose burgundy-plum lipsticks for lip makeup.

If mastering all these wisdom on your own is not very successful even with the help of training videos, it may be worth visiting a makeup artist who will select makeup individually, tell in detail how to hide various skin imperfections, and share professional tricks.

Blush on the face should be applied higher. If applied in the lower part of the cheekbones and below, it will once again accentuate the nasolabial folds.

It should be understood that neither the caring procedures, nor even the skillfully made makeup are omnipotent and are not able to completely hide the pronounced nasolabial folds. In such situations, only radical methods are effective, such as filling in wrinkles or lifting a face. If you don’t want to resort to such risky procedures, then, no matter how you want to look younger, it’s better to just stop getting hung up on completely natural age-related skin changes and try to accept and love your appearance as it is.

The nasolabial wrinkles are deep, and in fact, a person has them much earlier than he begins to pay attention to them, but as long as a person's skin is young and elastic, they are reliably hidden under its cover. Due to anatomical features, in some people, nasolabial folds may be noticeable already at a young age.

In other cases, nasolabial folds appear when a person begins to age, and become a real problem, spoiling the mood when looking in the mirror and in a photograph, adding complexes to their owners.

What do they look like and the reasons for the appearance

In a particularly advanced case, nasolabial wrinkles look like two deep grooves running from the nose to the mouth. Of course, they pretty much spoil the appearance of even the most correct face. , give age to their owners, but sooner or later appear in most people.

Accelerate the formation of nasolabial folds and aggravate the condition of those already outlined can lead an unhealthy lifestyle, namely, smoking, addiction to caffeine and alcohol.

Also, those girls who like to stretch their lips for photographs are at great risk. Yes, lips will appear more voluminous, but such grimaces accelerate the formation of nasolabial folds, and they rarely look cute.

Otherwise, the reasons for the appearance of these wrinkles are as follows:

bright active facial expressions, smiling;
drastic weight loss, illness;
insufficient skin care;
improper nutrition;
lack of water in the body;
stress;
features of the structure of the face;
rare stay in the fresh air;
heredity;
passion for tanning.

What is offered in the beauty salon

Every beauty salon must have a competent beautician who can remove nasolabial folds.

The principle of action of the filler is to fill in wrinkles from the inside, that is, an effect that no expensive cream can give. The result is visible immediately after the procedure.

Another way to fight is mesotherapy and biorevitalization. But these methods are rather preventive, they help to improve the condition of the skin on the entire surface of the face, fill it with useful substances and moisturize it from the inside.

There is nothing to be afraid of, modern cosmetology has achieved incredible results and continues to develop further: every day there are new fillers, preparations, procedures are being improved.

In order to get rid of the nasolabial folds, you do not need to cut anything, fall asleep from general anesthesia, there will not even be blood, because the procedures are carried out using injections of the finest needles.

How to remove nasolabial wrinkles at home

The fear of a cosmetologist can remain after visiting a bad specialist or a painful procedure. If this fear is insurmountable, it is quite possible to do home care for the area of the nasolabial folds.

Masks

Let's pay attention to the fact that you should start actively caring for your skin, doing masks, massage, gymnastics, not when the wrinkles have already appeared, but before that.

Then the skin will thank you with its beautiful appearance and wrinkles will appear much later.

Masks can be either purchased in a store or made from improvised means, products that are always in the refrigerator: cottage cheese, eggs, sour cream, bananas.

Recipe number 1

This mask requires a bay leaf package, which must be soaked in a small amount of boiling water and then boiled. There you need to add 2-3 eggs, a little olive oil. The mixture should be cooled, then left on the face for 40 minutes, it is best to take a course of such masks.

Recipe number 2

Prepare a saturated chamomile broth (dried inflorescences are sold in any pharmacy), soak a cotton pad with it, cool in the freezer. Hold on problem areas for about 15 minutes.

After this mask, people around you may start asking you for advice on how to remove nasolabial wrinkles.

Recipe number 3

We need yeast (fresh) and milk. They should be mixed and left in a warm place for a while, then applied to the face for half an hour, and rinsed thoroughly.

Peels can also make wrinkles a little less noticeable, helping to get rid of the upper stratum corneum.

Creams

The older the person, the lower the ability of the skin to produce these beneficial substances on its own, so it is imperative to supply them from the outside.

Hyaluronic acid and collagen creams can cost a little more than regular nutrient creams, but they are worth it. Hyaluronic acid helps to maintain an optimal level of skin hydration, replenish moisture loss, the skin becomes nourished and dense.

Massage

Regular massage improves blood circulation and skin turgor, improves complexion and helps you look younger. To enhance the effect, you can use an ice cube with useful herbs or decoctions during massage (chamomile and St. John's wort are suitable for this purpose).

There are a variety of movements that help gradually smooth out the "lines of grief" on the face:

you can perform frequent tapping on the cream;
you can massage the skin along the wrinkles in the direction from the nose to the mouth;
you can press on certain points, and then, as it were, resist the pressure of the fingers with the help of the muscles of the face.

It should be noted that for face massage, you can use more than one finger, pressing on one point, but, for example, three or all at once, which will increase the effectiveness and at times increase the effectiveness of the cream or serum on which the massage is done.

Such home procedures are not only pleasant and improve the mood in the morning, but can also significantly prolong the youthfulness of the skin.

Folk remedies

For one reason or another, you can postpone a visit to a professional beautician and try to deal with nasolabial folds on your own.

Some folk remedies can be quite effective in this struggle, for example, gymnastics.

There are a lot of exercises: stretching the lips with a tube, writing out the alphabet in the language, puffing out the cheeks, - only a small part of them all (you can also enter facelift or faceforming into a search query). Try to do facial gymnastics for 10 minutes a day, and in a month you will notice the result.

How to hide wrinkles with makeup

In order to make nasolabial wrinkles less conspicuous, there are many means. Let's take a look at some of them.

Firstly, to remove nasolabial folds with makeup, you can apply a special "wrinkle filler" under the foundation, offered by many brands of modern cosmetics.

Of course, this method has its drawbacks: it works until the first wash, and the product usually contains silicones and clogs the pores. But for special occasions, such as a photo shoot, you can take note of this trick.

Secondly, you can lighten the folds with a highlighter or foundation in a lighter shade.

This method is widely used by beauty bloggers seeking a perfect face in photos and videos. Using a highlighter in everyday life can look pretty silly and too noticeable.

Prophylaxis

As with any disease, getting rid of nasolabial wrinkles involves not only treatment, but also prevention.

Of course, it will not be possible to completely get rid of the nasolabial folds forever with the help of prevention, but it is highly likely that their appearance can be significantly postponed and, when they appear, they will not be so deep.

As a preventive measure, cosmetologists advise you to start using high-quality creams with hyaluronic acid in the composition even before you notice pronounced wrinkles.

This will help your skin stay youthful and smoother for longer.

So, the main methods of preventing nasolabial wrinkles are:

massage;
mesotherapy and biorevitalization;
proper nutrition, drinking plenty of water;
giving up cigarettes;
use of sunscreens;
peels, masks, creams;
gymnastics;
controlling facial expressions;
using ice for home care.

Is it worth doing plastic

Plastic surgery is everyone's choice, but it is indeed a very radical step that should be taken only if all else fails.

After all the variety of the considered methods of dealing with nasolabial wrinkles, we can safely say that in this case, plastic is not needed. Home care and prevention is quite enough, and, in extreme cases, you can remove the nasolabial folds from a beautician.

Summing up, we can say that, in general, nasolabial wrinkles are no different from all the others: they need careful care, their appearance is inevitable, and you can get rid of them by trusting a professional.

Nevertheless, in no case should you neglect the entire arsenal of home remedies, because they can really postpone the appearance of nasolabial folds for several years.

Correction of wrinkles is an urgent problem not only for older women, but also for fairly young women. Competent makeup will help you disguise crow's feet, nasolabial folds, get rid of wrinkles under the eyes - in general, it will make your face younger, fresher and more attractive.

Correction of wrinkles: the main thing is hydration

Before starting your makeup, you should definitely moisturize your skin. Even fine wrinkles are especially visible on dry skin in need of hydration.

The ideal option is to choose a moisturizing and toning cream at the same time. In this case, try to use a tone that matches your natural skin tone as much as possible. A darker color will age you for several years. You can use a cream a little lighter than your skin: you get the effect of a healthy glow, but then don't forget about the neck!

When choosing a foundation, give preference to a product with a silky texture, oil-free. A thick and oily cream is not suitable for correcting wrinkles.

Skin toning and wrinkle correction

Start applying foundation from the cheekbones, working your way up to the nose, chin and forehead. This should be done with light tapping movements of the fingers. Do not apply the cream to the nasolabial folds, but carefully tint the areas around the wrinkles: this way you can make the skin relief smoother.

After applying the tone, take a sponge in your hands and lightly walk it over the areas in which wrinkles are outlined: this will remove excess cream.

Concealer will help to hide wrinkles

Makeup artists recommend masking areas with wrinkles with water-based concealers, the color of which is slightly lighter than the skin. After being applied to the skin, such a concealer is quickly absorbed, the area with wrinkles is visually evened out, and this effect lasts all day long.

Correction of wrinkles under the eyes

To get rid of wrinkles around the eyes, choose cream products, while avoiding loose powder: it will only accentuate the unevenness of the relief. If circles are visible under the eyes, they can be masked with a light concealer.

Eye makeup should only include the outline of the upper eyelid: if you emphasize the lower one, you draw unnecessary attention to the fine wrinkles under the eyes.

This also applies to the eyelashes: paint over only the upper ones.

Correct anti-wrinkle shadows on the eyelids

Before applying the eyeshadow, cover the eyelid with a foundation: this will ensure that the shadows last a long time and will not smudge. Choose shades that are natural pastel shades, one or two shades darker than the skin color, this will help wrinkles become less noticeable.

Kajal and wrinkle correction with makeup

Eye makeup is not finished yet! Take a soft white or beige pencil and carefully draw the outline of the lower eyelid mucosa. This will add radiance to the look, and existing wrinkles will be completely lost in this radiance.

Correction of wrinkles around the lips

In the corners of the lips, vertical wrinkles are often visible, adding for several years. They can be quickly corrected with a light concealer. Gloss will help to "smooth" the lips and make them younger - you can choose any shade, just do not forget to paint the middle part of the lips with a lighter gloss, this spot will give your lips additional volume.

The role of blush in wrinkle correction

For anti-aging makeup, a creamy blush will do the trick: it looks more natural than loose and does not accentuate wrinkles.

Aerobatics - combine two shades of blush: pink should be applied to the "apples" of the cheeks, and the blush of a bronze shade - a little lower than the cheekbones. This technique will "lift" your cheekbones, which means it will make your face look younger.

Reasons for the appearance

Despite the fact that deep "nasolabials" are considered a sign of age, the reasons for their appearance may be not only mature years. Wrinkles and folds in the specified area can result from:

care errors: lack of care procedures, improper cleansing, lack of deep peeling procedures;
structure of the face;
age-related sagging of the skin - ptosis;
excessive completeness.

That is why it is so important to deal with the face from youth. If there is a predisposition to early sagging (facial structure, excess weight), then the nasolabial folds will appear very early. Therefore, you should strengthen skin care, get rid of excess weight.

Age-related drooping, sagging of the face (ptosis) is caused by the fact that in the upper part of the face the muscles are more prone to thinning, loss of elasticity, since they act less than the rest of the facial muscle corset. With age, the muscles become weaker, less grip on the skin, leading to sagging.

If a young face has clearly defined cheekbones, raised lines of eyebrows, lips, a tucked-in chin, then after 35-40 years, the corners of the lips sadly sink down. Ugly "flews" appear, which are almost impossible to fix, except perhaps to do it with the help of a plastic surgeon.

In addition, the subcutaneous fat in the cheekbones, cheeks, and forehead is very thin. On an older face, it almost completely disappears, so the face looks flatter, and the cheeks go down limply. This leads to the formation of a deep skin crease between the nose and lips.

What can be done

Is there any way to prevent the appearance of nasolabial folds? Unfortunately, the arsenal of available tools is very small.

First of all, you need to take care of your skin regularly. Scrubs help prevent the formation of early skin wrinkles, postpone visual aging, and after thirty years - regular chemical peels. Removal of the upper skin layer, stimulation of the production of collagen and elastin fibers help to delay the appearance of pronounced "nasolabial", remove fine wrinkles.

From the age of thirty, you should pay attention to deep skin hydration. One day care cream is clearly not enough. Requires the use of age serums, masks with hyaluronic acid.

Massage is an excellent means of correcting and preventing ptosis. A deep study of problem areas helps to quite successfully deal with existing and emerging facial wrinkles. Japanese, honey, pinch massages have a beneficial effect not only on the skin, but also on the facial muscles, which means they are able to stimulate those muscles that are responsible for the appearance of deep folds in the nose and lips, strengthen and tighten this area.

After thirty-five, you should seriously think about beauty injections. Mesotherapy, injections with hyaluronic acid, as well as the hardware introduction of moisturizing and nourishing cocktails can, if not remove, then postpone the appearance of nasolabial folds as far as possible.

There are also more radical methods - the introduction of fillers, for example. It is possible to remove skin wrinkles in this way, but the risk of side effects is quite high, not every woman decides to have an operation. Only a surgeon's knife can be guaranteed to get rid of nasolabial folds.

How makeup will help

Finding outlined nasolabial folds, many women try to mask them with makeup. This must be done very delicately, since there is a great risk not to hide, but to emphasize the fold.

From cosmetic products you will need:

moisturizing cream;
tonal basis;
corrector (highlighter);
dark and / or light powder;
bronzer.

The consistency of makeup is very important. You will have to work very carefully, the stages of applying makeup are as follows.

Makeup step by step

Thoroughly cleanse the skin. Apply moisturizer. This stage is very important. Softened skin seems to be saturated with moisture from the inside, wrinkles become less noticeable. It will also make it easier to blend a concealer or foundation on moist, soft skin.
Apply a make-up base to a clean, moist face. Cover the area of the nasolabial folds with a pore grout.
Apply foundation. For an older person, a product with a lifting effect is better. With regular use, it rejuvenates the skin and tightens it. To successfully disguise the nasolabials, apply a darker tonal foundation to your face. The main thing is to distribute it evenly over the skin.
Apply to the area of nasolabial folds a creamy concealer or concealer, exactly matching the skin tone or half a tone darker, blend thoroughly. The product must not contain shimmer. The transition between concealer and foundation should be imperceptible. Remove excess funds.
Sculpt the face with a light matte highlighter and a dark bronzer (no shimmer). A light tone is applied to the area above the cheekbone, the bridge of the nose, the upper lip, under the eyebrows, to the center of the forehead. Visually, we seem to stretch the face, emphasize all the beneficial details, distracting from the sad wrinkles and folds.
Now you need to work with a bronzer. To do this, the outer edges of the forehead are darkened, the area under the cheekbone is drawn, the "flews" (sagging areas of the cheeks) are darkened. Apply a dark tone to the double chin area. This will help to visually tighten the oval of the face, remove the double chin.
Colorless powder will help to consolidate the work. If it contains reflective particles, you can get a stronger visual effect of rejuvenation. Do not apply over concealer and bronzate tinting powder: the sculpting effect will disappear.
Complete the makeup by applying a refreshing lipstick or gloss of pink, caramel, coral color to the lips.

What mistakes should be avoided

On an aged face with pronounced nasolabial folds, “aging” lipstick colors look very bad: dark plum, burgundy, plum brown. They highlight the problem rather than mask it.

Other common makeup mistakes with pronounced nasolabial folds are as follows:

choosing the wrong shade of foundation. If the tone is too light, then instead of masking, you will get the effect of deliberately emphasizing the problem. In this case, the use of a bronzer will only aggravate it, highlight the nasolabial folds and other mimic wrinkles, and give the face an absurd look;
generous application of foundation and corrector to the area of the nasolabial folds. No matter how carefully the makeup is shaded, if there are a lot of funds, it will surely roll down into wrinkles. Instead of removing them, make-up will accentuate imperfections in the skin;
improper application of blush and bronzer will highlight the nasolabial folds, make the face even more "sad", and accentuate the sagging.
It is very difficult to disguise the area of the nasolabial folds with makeup. In some cases, you need to abandon this attempt so as not to aggravate the problem.

As a rule, any makeup has its own principles and rules. In order to hide wrinkles, you should also carefully consider the question of what products you need to purchase.

For example, in this makeup it is better to use beige shades that can make your complexion much fresher, adding youth and radiance to your face.

The so-called crow's feet can also be hidden by giving the eyes an "open" look. To do this, apply slightly dark shadows that are superimposed on the upper eyelid. In this case, the arrows are made from a combination of soft tones.

What should you know before starting makeup?

Makeup designed to thoroughly hide wrinkles should start with a moisturizer. Without this product, the skin will look very dull, every now and then highlighting small wrinkles. A moisturizing or silky makeup base is ideal for smoothing skin.

The shade should ideally match the natural color of your face, except that you can use slightly lighter tones, but in no case dark ones, otherwise your face will age you.

How to mask wrinkles?

Now is the time to start applying makeup directly to hide wrinkles and folds. The foundation must be applied evenly and naturally to the cheekbones, forehead, chin and nose. The nasolabial folds should be left alone without applying foundation. The make-up is evenly distributed over the area around the wrinkles, thereby smoothing the skin's relief.

The wrinkles around the eyes are masked in the following way: firstly, creamy textures are used, and not loose powder, which will only highlight the wrinkles. Second, you can use a light-colored concealer to mask dark circles under your eyes. Thirdly, use the pencil exclusively for the upper eyelid outline so as not to draw the attention of others to existing wrinkles.

Do not use oily eyeshadows that tend to smudge and fill in wrinkles and wrinkles, emphasizing them instead of hiding them.
Before applying eyeshadow, use a foundation to cover your upper eyelid. Thus, the shadows will last longer than usual.
The natural shape of the brows is accentuated with a light colored pencil for a younger and more energetic look.

The right makeup will help you look happy and youthful at all times. I wish you success!

All women after 40 are faced with the problem of wrinkles on the face. And now you look at yourself in the mirror without pleasure, noting age-related changes.

Oh, those wrinkles! They annoy not only mature women, but also fairly young girls. The fight against mimic, and especially age-related wrinkles has been going on for more than one century. There is a way out today! Cosmetologists, stylists and makeup artists offer many options on how to give our face youth, freshness and attractiveness. Today we will learn how to do this with makeup.

1. Moisturizing is the key to success

Girls with dry to combination skin, keep in mind that before starting any makeup, the first thing you should do is moisturize your skin. Otherwise, even the smallest wrinkles will smile sarcastically through any makeup. Ideally, you would opt for a moisturizing foundation. Remember to match your skin tone. Too dark a color will age, and by using too light a color, you will look like one of the characters in The Twilight Saga.

2. Masking in tone

When choosing a foundation, avoid oil-based products and choose something with a silky texture.
When applying, start at the cheekbones, then work towards the nose, then the chin and forehead. This should be done with gentle movements of the fingertips. Do not apply tone to the nasolabial folds, just tint the areas around the wrinkles. This will help make the skin smoother.

To remove excess cream, use a sponge to sweep over the skin, especially in areas where wrinkles appear.

3. Should I use concealer?

Of course, yes. This will help to visually even out the skin relief and hide shallow wrinkles. One of the advantages of a concealer, make-up artists call the ability to quickly absorb and hold for a long time.

4. Eyes - the mirror of the soul

And our soul is always young! To keep your eyes sparkling with youth, avoid loose powder. it only emphasizes wrinkles. Circles under the eyes are well masked by a light concealer. But if you want to emphasize the beauty of the eyes, outline only the upper eyelid and do not paint over the lower eyelashes, so as not to draw attention to minor age defects.

Now let's move on to the shadows. To make them last long and not smear, first apply a foundation on the eyelids. In shades, give preference to pastel shades, 1-2 shades darker than skin color. And that is not all! Use a white or beige pencil to draw the lining of the lower eyelid. Did you do everything right? Then your gaze will surely shine and conquer all the men of this planet.

5. Smile is our calling card

Yes, everyone knows about this, and we never cease to delight those around us with a sweet, charming, seductive smile. But what to do with the wrinkles formed in the corners of the lips? Don't worry, they can be easily hidden with a light concealer. Gloss will also help make the lips look younger. The shades do not matter, you can choose the color of the dress, the tie of your companion, or the mood. Just be sure to highlight the middle of your lips with a lighter shade to add volume to your lips.

6. The role of blush

For anti-aging makeup, a creamy blush is more suitable, which mask, rather than emphasize, wrinkles. Blush looks very impressive in a combination of two shades: pink - on "apples"
cheeks and bronze - below the cheekbones. This technique will refresh the face, raise the cheekbones, therefore, make the face younger.

7. Ten solid "no" for anti-aging makeup

Say no to oily foundation.
Don't choose too light foundation.
Do not overuse concealer: apply it only to problem areas with a special brush.
"Do not powder it": in order not to dry out the skin on the cheeks and under the eyes, and therefore, not to emphasize wrinkles, the powder is applied only to the T-zone.
Don't use dark eyeliner on your lower eyelid. Otherwise, it will make your eyes look smaller and accentuate the circles and wrinkles under the eyes.
Forget about pearlescent eyeshadows that accentuate expression lines.
A firm "no" mascara on the lower lashes.
Avoid greasy and liquid lipsticks, which, spreading, accumulate in wrinkles around, making the face several years older.
Don't use dark lipstick shades: it makes you look older.
Throw away the orange and brown blush, which looks unnatural and draws too much attention to the wrinkles.

Follow these simple rules, lovely girls! Always stay young, attractive and cheerful! Love yourself, with and without wrinkles !! ;)
