Anti Aging Makeup Primers
Minimize fine lines and smooth your skin. Wear it alone or apply under your foundation to absorb excess oil and have your makeup look fresh all day.

Foundation
There are many foundations that perform multiple tasks.They can moisturize, conceal flaws and treat acne. Some of them even contain many of the ingredients that you would normally find in skin care products. Numerous foundations offer extra benefits for aging skin that needs more moisturizer, more protection and a lighter texture that provides more coverage for spots and wrinkles.

Powder
Powder can be a little tricky. Many will say that it's best used only in the t zone of the face, if at all. Using too much powder can accentuate flaws instead of concealing them. If used, use sparingly. There are several mineral anti aging makeup products that work well.

Blusher
When chosen and applied correctly, blusher can take years off your appearance. When applied, dot it on the apples of your cheek and blend up and out while using a circular motion. Applying a shimmery shadow along the top of the cheekbones can give a lifting effect.

Eyeliner
Brush cream eyeliner as close to the eyelash line as possible then gently smudge it to give eyes a softer look.

Mascara
Our eyelashes tend to thin out as we get older. Consider using a brown mascara instead of a black one. Sometimes black mascara can give us a harsh look while the brown can soften the appearance.

Lipstick
As we age the lips shrink and and tend to lose its rosy appearance. Some of the darker colors that looked good when we were younger now can make you look older. Using softer rosy colors can make your lips look fuller. Dab a small amount of gloss in the middle of the lower lip reflects light and also helps make lips look fuller.

Concealer
One of the problems with concealer is that if you apply it too heavily, it can settle into fine lines making you look worse than before you started. Makeup artists recommend applying it on the inner corner lower lid of the eye and a small amount on the outer corner. Set it with a loose powder to prevent it from creeping into the fine lines.
