So I’m new to makeup and just finally found my foundation (yay!). But when I put it on it makes the creases / wrinkles in my forehead so obvious. I feel like I’m in my 40s when I’m only 22 … any advice on what to do? I was told that setting powder helps with creasing / wrinkles so I tried this but it didn’t make any difference. Any help would be appreciated !! Thank you š
Vitamin C and using sunscreen helped the most for me. Iām 31 and saw a significant difference once I started Vitamin C in my routine. The sunscreen is a preventative for future wrinkles.
Moisturize consistently and well. Go light on the face makeup in ares with fine lines if you can because the more you put on, the more there is to slide into creases. Also consider trying a different, more matte powder. I didn’t get any real blur from Hourglass, but I do from Fenty blot powder. Good luck on your product/routine search!
If it were me I’d get botox for them. If you’re in your 20s and they are already bothering you it will only get worse.
No makeup really can change or cover wrinkles, lines or creases in your skin. You can wear less to minimize what will go into the creases and make them look more obvious but they will always be visible as they are a physical feature of your skin.
You can try tretinoin and wearing sunscreen every single day but only getting rid of the lines (with botox) will actually solve this.
Moisturize,apply primer & then set with powder afterwords
Whats your skin type? I ask because im 28 (I know, almost 30…) but ive always had oily skin. Recently i accidentally dehydrated it with some horrific face washes and have been working on rebuilding my moisture barrier (basically skipping all exfoliants).
Anyways, my forehead wrinkles are like 100x less apparent when im using a hydrating foundation, have REALLY good skin prep, or use oils in my foundations. I recently decluttered a ton of my super matte foundations because they aged me 20 years. And it was always the forehead wrinkles.
