L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation It has been formulated specifically not to settle into lines, its lightweight blend of hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and aloe hydrates as it helps skin look more even.

Lines deepen on dehydrated skin, increasing the chance that foundation will settle in them. Find a hydrating serum and moisturiser to help counteract this. Additionally, a smoothing primer is your BFF! The primer will fill in lines and prevent your foundation from doing the same.
If you've ever thought your makeup makes you look more wrinkled, it might be by virtue of dehydrated skin. Makeup has a way of leaching the moisture from the skin, accentuating pores, and highlighting fine lines and wrinkles. So if your skin looks worse with foundation, this could be a major culprit.
Since our skin naturally becomes increasingly dry and dehydrated as we get older, a powder foundation only makes things worse. It settles into all of your fine lines, and the matte texture finish instantly ages you.
Even the slightest signs of aging can be magnified with the wrong makeup, so if you'd like to see fewer crow's-feet or laugh lines, opt for a liquid foundation. "Powder can actually settle into wrinkles and accentuate them, but liquid products act like a filler for a smoother finish," Bruzzesi says.

If you're looking for a way to smooth out the wrinkles in your skin, a primer can help. Primers are like liquid foundation for your face. They smooth out the surface of your skin so that your makeup goes on more smoothly and evenly. They also help keep your makeup in place longer by filling in tiny lines and pores.
✔️ Dewy foundations are better than matte. Thicker, matte finish bases are usually made to provide fuller coverage, which means they're packed with pigment that can eventually get cakey. "These will likely settle into fine lines and wrinkles, causing them to look more pronounced," Whelan says.
Apply Thin Layers
Starting with a small amount of product and building up coverage is a crucial step when applying foundation to mature skin. This leads to a more naturally glowy look versus overdone or cakey, and it can also help prevent your foundation from creasing or settling into fine lines.
No matter what tool you're using—a foundation brush, a BeautyBlender, or your fingers—buff (or bounce, if you're using a sponge) the foundation into your skin as opposed to “painting” it on to build coverage smoothly and avoid streakiness, says Park.
Your concealer is your best friend as you age because it conceals wrinkles and lines better than a foundation. Once you've applied your foundation, apply a small amount of concealer only to the areas that need more coverage. Ensure that the product is blended in with a makeup sponge or with your fingers.
The silky and spreadable texture of silicones has made them popular in makeup products. In primers, silicones help blur out the imperfections on your face and fill in fine lines and wrinkles while reducing the appearance of pores.
The ANTI-AGING PRIMER is a revolutionary hybrid of makeup and skincare. It contains powerful antioxidants and restorative ingredients such as Purslane to keep your skin nourished and provide a youthful glow.
So at what age should YOU switch from powder to liquid makeup? I would say a good time to start using liquid foundation is at the point when your skin starts showing signs of aging (for most people, the age range is 35-40 years old).
A sweep of a good translucent powder over the whole face using a kabuki brush will blur pores, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and create a soft focus finish for your makeup look.
