When you enter your 40s, your skin is the first thing that will give away your age, no matter how hard you try to stay young. Your skin is sure to lose its elasticity and shine as skin cells weaken; It will start to sag and wrinkle sometime during your fourth decade, especially if you are on the thin side. Even if there is nothing you can do to reverse the early signs of aging, you can definitely hide them very successfully. The following makeup tips will help you look your best as they help cover up your wrinkles:

1. Avoid using foundation as much as possible, as it will only settle into your wrinkles and make them more prominent. It’s best to use a tinted moisturizer to hide skin blemishes. If any part of your face needs additional coverage, a very light foundation will suffice. However, it is better to go for darker shades rather than paler ones to hide wrinkles.

2. Do not apply powder to the skin under any circumstances as it will make it appear dull and highlight wrinkles. In fact, you should always go for creams over powders when it comes to all makeup, including blush and eyeshadow.

3. Make your skin look smoother by applying moisturizer before using any other product. The moisturizer will not only temporarily plump up your wrinkles, but it will also make your skin look bright and youthful.

4. Use a highlighter pen to cover the wrinkles on your face. It can be used to hide fine lines and crow’s feet just as easily. It is also very effective in covering wrinkled and discolored skin under the eyes.

5. Highlight your eyes to divert attention from other parts of your face. Apply eye makeup with a skillful hand and keep it light or else the effect will unintentionally age. Don’t forget to comb your eyebrows well.

You will be able to erase years of your age if you can successfully hide your wrinkles. Also, you should use the glossy lipstick to make your lips look plumper. You should also get a good hairstyle that helps you look younger than your age. In fact, these tips will allow you to stay young looking for as long as possible without resorting to surgical treatments.
