Makeup for Wrinkles & Fine Lines

Always start with a primer like one of our Spackle Skin Perfecting Primers. Primer smooths the surface of the skin so foundation has somewhere flat to sit, which is what keeps makeup out of your fine lines in the first place.A blurring primer like Line Smoother Fine Line Blurring Primer softens the look of texture on contact, and Baked Balance-n-Brighten, our #1 foundation for mature skin, builds coverage without weight. Skip heavy powders, which draw attention to wrinkles rather than covering them.

Moisturize, wait two minutes, then apply primer before finishing with your foundation. A baked foundation will float across your skin, not sit heavy on top of it and sink into fine lines.

Usually because the skin underneath is dry, or because there is too much product on it. Makeup needs moisture to move with your face, and on dehydrated skin it can exaggerate the look of texture, including fine lines.

Hydrate first, use a hydrating primer to plump the look of skin, and apply less than you think you need. Always use a light hand with foundation — you can always add more if you need!

Cleanse, hydrate, then prime, in that order and with a pause between each step. Aging skin holds less moisture, so a hydrating serum or moisturizer gives makeup something supple to sit on.

Follow with a primer: Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer: Hydrate contains sodium hyaluronate, a form of hyaluronic acid, to draw moisture into the skin's surface. Give each layer a minute to absorb before the next one, or they will pill.

Yes, it is what the brand is built around. Laura Geller formulas are weightless rather than heavy, which is the difference that matters most on mature skin.

Look for a foundation that is lightweight and buildable, either a moisturizing liquid or a finely milled baked powder, rather than a heavy full-coverage formula. Drier skin does best with a moisturizing tinted moisturizer over a hydrating primer. If you get shine through the day, a baked powder gives coverage without the thickness that settles into lines.

Makeup won’t fill a wrinkle, but it can make one much harder to see. A blurring primer sits in and over the texture and softens the edges so light no longer catches in the line.
Line Smoother Fine Line Blurring Primer does this with a soft-focus blur on contact. It’s also enriched with vitamin C to brighten the look of dull areas at the same time. The effect is cosmetic and washes off; it is not a treatment.
