We all know that the fountain of eternal youth doesn’t exist. The years pass and your skin shows this. However, current anti aging makeup can be very effective when properly used.
It is no surprise that so much time and effort is put into the anti aging makeup industry, as the percentage of older people in the population of most developed countries continues to grow. Thanks to this huge potential market, and the subsequent effort which cosmetic companies are making to tap into it, there are many sophisticated and useful products on the market.
Some of the things which anti aging makeup can do for include; moisturizing of skin, protection from the damaging effects of the sun and hiding or diminishing fine lines or wrinkles.
One of the best features of the best anti aging makeup is the way that one product can often do several things for you at the same time. Therefore, you might find that your sun protection creams also moisturizes your skin or that your moisturizer helps hide wrinkles and other undesirable features.
As with all makeup it is best to find a product which suits you and use it regularly, rather than applying a mixture of products or putting on an excessive amount, as this can have the opposite effect from that intended.
Some recommended anti aging makeup products and their effects are noted below;
Anti Aging Makeup Primers. These products help to reduce fine lines and leave you with a smoother skin. They can be used on their own or under makeup.
Foundation. Many of the foundations currently available help to moisturize or protect your skin
Powder. This is an element of anti aging makeup which should not be overdone. There are some good products available if correctly applied.
Mascara. To help keep the eyelashes looking thick and full while keeping a subtle look it is worth trying a brown mascara, rather than the usual black.
Lipstick. Using lighter and softer colors tends to work better as we get older, while the darker colors can have an aging effect.
