Nasolabial wrinkles are deep wrinkles, and in fact, a person has them much earlier than he begins to pay attention to them, but while a person’s skin is young and elastic, they are reliably hidden under its cover. Due to anatomical features, in some people nasolabial folds may be noticeable already in at a young age.
In other cases, nasolabial folds appear when a person begins to age, and become a real problem, spoiling the mood when looking in the mirror and in photographs, adding complexes to their owners.
What they look like and the reasons for their appearance
In particularly advanced cases, nasolabial wrinkles look like two deep furrows running from the nose to the mouth. Of course, they pretty much spoil the appearance of even the most the right person, They give age to their owners, but sooner or later they appear in most people.
Leading an unhealthy lifestyle, namely smoking, addiction to caffeine and alcohol, can accelerate the formation of nasolabial folds and aggravate the condition of existing ones.
Also at great risk are those girls who like to stretch out their lips for photographs. Yes, the lips will appear fuller, but such grimaces accelerate the formation of nasolabial folds, and they rarely look cute.
Otherwise, the reasons for the appearance of these wrinkles are as follows:
- bright active facial expressions, smiling;
- sudden weight loss, illness;
- insufficient skin care;
- poor nutrition;
- lack of water in the body;
- stress;
- facial structure features;
- rare exposure to fresh air;
- heredity;
- passion for tanning.
What do they offer at the beauty salon?
Every beauty salon must have a competent cosmetologist who can remove nasolabial folds.
The principle of the filler is to fill the wrinkle from the inside, that is, an effect that no expensive cream can provide. The result is visible immediately after the procedure.
Another way to fight is mesotherapy and biorevitalization. But these methods are rather preventative; they help improve the condition of the skin over the entire surface of the face, fill it with useful substances and moisturize it from the inside.
There's nothing to be afraid of modern cosmetology has achieved incredible results and continues to develop further: every day new fillers, drugs appear, procedures are improved.
In order to get rid of nasolabial folds, you will not need to cut anything, fall asleep under general anesthesia, and there will not even be blood, because the procedures are carried out using injections of the finest needles.
How to remove nasolabial wrinkles at home
The fear of a cosmetologist may remain after visiting a bad specialist or a painful procedure. If this fear is insurmountable, it is quite possible to take home care for the area of the nasolabial folds.
Masks
Let us pay attention to the fact that you should start actively caring for your skin, doing masks, massage, and gymnastics not when wrinkles have already appeared, but before that.
Then the skin will thank you with its beautiful appearance and wrinkles will appear much later.
Masks can be either store-bought or made from improvised products, products that are always in the refrigerator: cottage cheese, eggs, sour cream, bananas.
Recipe No. 1
For this mask you will need a package of bay leaves, which must be soaked in a small amount of boiling water and then boiled. There you need to add 2-3 eggs, a little olive oil. The mixture should be cooled, then left on the face for 40 minutes; it is best to take a course of such masks.
Recipe No. 2
Prepare a rich chamomile decoction (dried inflorescences are sold at any pharmacy), soak a cotton pad in it, and cool in the freezer. Leave on problem areas for about 15 minutes.
After this mask, perhaps others will start asking you for advice on how to remove nasolabial wrinkles.
Recipe No. 3
We will need yeast (fresh) and milk. They should be mixed and left in a warm place for a while, then applied to the face for half an hour, rinse thoroughly.
Peels that help get rid of the upper stratum corneum of the skin can also make wrinkles a little less noticeable.
Crema
How older man, the lower the skin’s ability to independently produce these useful material, so you definitely need to supply them from outside.
Hyaluronic acid and collagen creams may cost a little more than regular nourishing creams, but they are worth it. Hyaluronic acid helps maintain an optimal level of skin moisture, replenish moisture loss, the skin becomes nourished and dense.
Massage
Regular massage improves blood circulation and skin turgor, improves complexion and helps you look younger. To enhance the effect, you can use an ice cube with beneficial herbs or decoctions during massage (chamomile and St. John's wort are suitable for this purpose).
There are various movements that help to gradually smooth out the “lines of grief” on the face:
- You can tap the cream frequently;
- you can massage the skin along the wrinkle in the direction from the nose to the mouth;
- you can press on certain points, and then, as it were, resist the pressure of your fingers with the help of your facial muscles.
It should be noted that for facial massage you can use not one finger, pressing on one point, but, for example, three or all at once, which will increase the efficiency and significantly enhance the effectiveness of the cream or serum used for the massage.
Such home treatments are not only pleasant and improve your mood in the morning, but can also significantly prolong the youthfulness of your skin.
Folk remedies
For one reason or another, you may postpone your visit to professional cosmetologist and try to deal with nasolabial folds on your own.
Some folk remedies can be quite effective in this fight, for example, gymnastics.
There are a lot of exercises: stretching the lips with a tube, writing out the alphabet with the tongue, puffing out the cheeks - just a small part of all (you can also enter facelifting or faceforming into the search query). Try doing facial exercises for 10 minutes a day, and in a month you will notice the result.

How to hide creases with makeup
To make nasolabial wrinkles less noticeable, there are a lot of remedies. Let's look at some of them.
Firstly, to remove nasolabial folds using makeup, you can apply under Foundation a special “wrinkle filler” offered by many brands of modern cosmetics.
Of course, this method has its drawbacks: it works until the first wash, and the product usually contains silicones and clogs pores. But for special occasions, for example, a photo shoot, you can take note of this trick.
Secondly, you can highlight the creases using a highlighter or foundation of a lighter shade.
This method is widely used by beauty bloggers seeking a perfect facial appearance in photos and videos. Using highlighter in everyday life can look quite silly and too noticeable.
Prevention
As with any disease, getting rid of nasolabial wrinkles involves not only treatment, but also prevention.
Of course, it will not be possible to completely get rid of nasolabial folds forever with the help of prevention, but there is a high probability that their appearance will be significantly delayed and, when they appear, they will not be so deep.
As a preventive measure, cosmetologists advise starting to use high-quality creams with hyaluronic acid even before you notice pronounced wrinkles.
This will help your skin stay youthful and smooth longer.
So, the main methods for preventing nasolabial wrinkles are:
- massage;
- mesotherapy and biorevitalization;
- proper nutrition, drinking plenty of water;
- quitting cigarettes;
- use of sunscreens;
- peelings, masks, creams;
- gymnastics;
- controlling facial expressions;
- using ice in home care.
Is it worth getting plastic surgery?
Plastic surgery is everyone's choice, but it is indeed a very radical step that should be taken only if everything else no longer helps.
After all the variety of methods considered to combat nasolabial wrinkles, we can safely say that in this case plastic surgery is not needed. Quite enough home care and prevention, and, as a last resort, you can remove nasolabial folds from a cosmetologist.
To summarize, we can say that, in general, nasolabial wrinkles are no different from all others: they require careful care, their appearance is inevitable, and you can get rid of them by trusting a professional.
However, in no case should you neglect the entire arsenal of home remedies, because they can actually delay the appearance of nasolabial folds for several years.

Modeling law: make your face beautiful, not your makeup
Tatyana, age-related changes in women elegant age, especially for those who have entered menopause, appear on the face in the literal sense of the word. High and low tides are accompanied by redness, sweating, and sometimes even oily skin. Maybe we should give up cosmetics at this time?
In no case! It is makeup that allows you to hide age-related problems, which helps a woman feel attractive and confident. You should use those cosmetics, which will help even out the tone of the face and model it. And for this you will need: foundation, concealer (to disguise certain problem areas) and powder.
Why is this necessary?
Every face has its own shortcomings, and with age they only intensify. The oval loses its sculpture: a double chin appears, the cheeks go down, and nasolabial folds are added. And the eyes sink deeper, which in turn deepens their inner corners. The temporal zones also sag, which gives the face a haggard appearance. First, small and then deep expression wrinkles appear. In a word, the facial muscles lose their elasticity and sag along with the skin turgor.
Face modeling using decorative cosmetics allows you to visually reduce age-related changes, and in some cases, hide them.
How to achieve this?
Primarily due to the play of light and shadow. As is known, light color visually enlarges any area. But dark, on the contrary, reduces and deepens. You need to model your face, guided by this principle, “stretching out” deep areas using light tones and hiding others with dark ones.
A light foundation, as close as possible in color to the skin, helps to lighten all age-related changes (nasolabial folds, inner corners of the eyes, sunken temples, etc.) and thus visually rejuvenate the face.
Rules for applying foundation:
A properly selected foundation is one that is not visible on the face.
Modeling the face and choosing the right makeup scheme is necessary in a straight position.
If applied tightly to the face, the color of the foundation may change. If it contains an additional pink tone, then the entire complexion, accordingly, may become pinker; if yellow, it can give the skin an unwanted yellow tint. This rule also applies to corrector and powder.
A corrector (you can use a dark foundation or powder instead) allows you to darken all the bulges that extend beyond the oval of the face, and thus make it smaller. This applies to the chin, the corners of the lower jaw, and the extended forehead area.
Working with light and dark tones involves maintaining balance: the more areas are lightened, the fewer dark areas there can be and vice versa.
Should I apply blush?
Necessarily! Women of elegant age should master blush to perfection. Over the years, the skin becomes somewhat lifeless, sometimes with a characteristic olive tint. Initially, foundation helps revive it. But blush helps refresh your skin tone.
How to properly apply blush to women of elegant age:
In the area of “frosty” cheeks;
on the convex zone of the fixed eyelid.
sometimes - on the forehead and chin.
How to apply makeup correctly so that it lasts a long time
The problem of all women is unstable makeup. Even the most expensive decorative means cannot save you from it.
It's not about them, although, of course, a lot depends on quality cosmetics. But the durability of makeup directly depends on the base applied. And for this, the skin must first be prepared: it must be clean and dry. And the drier and cleaner it is, the more durable the makeup will be.
In real life, it looks quite simple: waking up in the morning and immediately washing your face, apply cream to your face (nourishing in winter, moisturizing in summer). In 20 minutes (this time can be used to prepare breakfast), the cream will help the cells start working and penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis, and then you should apply makeup to properly prepared facial skin.
The durability of makeup requires the correct sequence of application. Foundation is first applied to clean, dry skin, then corrector, and finally powder as a fixative.
If, in addition to the cream, other fatty or sticky products are used, for example, serum, then when further fixed with powder, a “plaster” effect appears on the face.
Applying makeup requires the same ratio fatty products relative to dry. Only in this way can its durability be guaranteed. And minimizing the use of fatty products before applying powder will help to avoid multi-layering.
What if sweat penetrates the entire applied base and pours like hail?
Under no circumstances should you wipe it with your hand, or even blot it! This way you can remove all makeup.
Use tangential movements to blot your face with a napkin.
Go into a cool room and wait for the sweat to evaporate
naturally and then touch up your makeup.
Such measures are necessary for the simple reason that moisture forms between the skin and the layer of foundation, and when correcting makeup, all applied layers are damaged, and every touch can be detrimental to the makeup as a whole.
Tip: Limit your use of water.
Make the eyes: choose soft lines and dark shadows
Women always strive to do everything possible cosmetically emphasize the eyes, but in mature age- especially. This doesn't always work out well. What would you recommend?
Conventionally, eye makeup techniques can be divided into three groups. This is a technique of applying from light to dark, very popular in Soviet times as the “banana”, “arrow” pattern and smoky eyes. Let's try to figure out which of them can be recommended for mature women.
The choice of a winning scheme depends on the structure of the eyelid. Before choosing eye makeup, you should remember the anatomy of the eyelid, which consists of the upper and lower. The upper eyelid, in turn, is divided into mobile (from the ciliary contour to the dividing fold) and fixed (from the fold to the eyebrow).
In my signature techniques I stick to one thing: important rule: the color before and behind the relief should be the same. This means that the selected tone, located on the moving eyelid, must be repeated on the fixed eyelid in the same saturation.
The “light to dark” technique is unjustifiably popular and in most cases unsuccessful, since the color up to and behind the dividing crease of the eyelid is different. The technique of applying such makeup will emphasize the asymmetry of the eyes, which is typical for the majority.
There is also a feature that we mentioned at the very beginning: light colors draw out the sunken areas to the level of the general plane of the face, dark ones hide the volume or big size any zone. If, guided by this rule, you try to model the eyes, then you can achieve the same effect as with the face, only with the difference that light-colored shadows will increase the area around the eyelids, but at the same time visually “reduce” the eyes, emphasize drooping eyelids, and “sagging” eyeball, etc.
It is important to avoid pearlescent shadows. They are characterized by a special structure that emphasizes the texture of the skin and focuses attention on wrinkles, both large and small.
Colored shadows will make your look vulgar.
Beautiful makeup has nothing to do with a beautiful face. Creation beautiful face assumes maximum corrective effect, correct lines, clear proportions, absence of asymmetries and the use of natural tones. And these are, first of all, tones that are as close as possible to the color of the skin (ranging from pastel beige, light brown, dark brown and even black).
For creating beautiful makeup They use colored shadows to create a beautiful face - natural shades of predominantly brown.
Arrows. Only those with clear eye shapes can use this technique. But, as a rule, age begins to manifest itself precisely in sagging eyelids, “covering” the moving eyelid or, conversely, tightly tightening it (deep-set eyes). In such cases, the “arrow” may break or even disappear completely.
In addition, over the years, the structure of the skin takes on a clearer pattern than in youth. Because of this, the drawn “arrow” can emphasize the unevenness of the skin structure, but in no way simulate the eyes.
You can apply an arrow along the edge of the eyelash only if it is subsequently shaded with the help of shadows.
Smoky eyes. Silent film actresses used just charcoal and powder to give their eyes languid look. The black-and-white cinema star Vera Kholodnaya, looking from the screen with thickly lined eyes, forced all viewers to look at them with adoration. Today there is no need to use improvised means to achieve such an effect. Smoky eyes are multivariate and involve varying degrees of darkening of both the upper eyelid (both moving and fixed) and the lower, and their combination.
How to properly apply smoky eyes to elegant women
There is no need to darken the eyes below. This way you can “pull” them instead of lifting them.
The dark color hides the overhang of the upper eyelid, so it is necessary to make smoky eyes with darkening only the upper eyelid (moving and fixed). Those who have a movable eyelid that is high and open enough do not need to extend the color higher onto the fixed eyelid. It will be enough to darken only the eyelash contour.
Good to use dark color: the more intense it is, the more spectacular the modeling result will be.
Thin lips give away age: hide it with lipstick and pencil
Should you choose your lipstick color carefully too?
No, you can experiment with it and use any tones, from coral to red.
Another thing is that plump lips are a sign of youth and beauty. And over the years they become thinner, sink, or even fail altogether. That's why many women are so keen to visually enlarge them using various means. Regular lipstick and lip pencil will help you cope with this task.
How to properly paint lips for women of elegant age
Be sure to outline your lips with a pencil. This will avoid untidiness and further spreading of lipstick;
First, draw your lips with a pencil, then powder them and only after that apply lipstick in two stages: first on the lips in a calm position of the mouth and then on stretched lips.
First, place the lipstick where your lips meet and stretch it to one corner, and then to the other. Draw the lower lip in the same way. This technique will allow you to avoid excessive paint getting into the corners of your lips and spreading it along the folds.
The most important thing in lip makeup is to avoid mother-of-pearl when choosing a texture. It is he who will emphasize the ugly appearance of age and give away the “deception” of lip enlargement. And, of course, you should not allow a clear contrast between lipstick and contour pencil. By the way, the presence of red pigment in the latter makes the lips “inflamed”.
If you choose a bright lipstick, does this mean that your eyes should no longer be highlighted?
For age makeup this rule doesn't work. Everything is allowed here. You can immediately accentuate your eyes, lips, cheeks, and eyebrows. But, of course, remember the measure that defines elegance.

Before you start applying makeup, you should definitely moisturize your skin. On dry skin that needs hydration, even small wrinkles are especially clearly visible.
The ideal option is to choose a moisturizing and tinting cream at the same time. In this case, try to use a tone that matches the natural shade of your skin as closely as possible. A darker color will age you by several years. You can take a cream that is a little lighter than your skin: you will get the effect of a healthy glow, but then don’t forget about your neck!

Do not apply the cream to the nasolabial folds, but carefully tint the areas around the wrinkles: this way you can make the skin texture more even.
After applying the foundation, take the sponge in your hands and lightly walk it over the areas where wrinkles appear: this will remove excess cream.
Concealer will help hide wrinkles
Makeup artists recommend covering areas with wrinkles using water-based concealers (correctors), the color of which is slightly lighter skin. After application to the skin, this concealer is quickly absorbed, the area with wrinkles is visually evened out, and this effect lasts throughout the day.
Correction of wrinkles under the eyes
To get rid of wrinkles around the eyes, choose cream products, while avoiding loose powder: it will only emphasize the unevenness of the terrain. If you notice dark circles under your eyes, you can cover them up with a light concealer.
Eye makeup should include lining only the upper eyelid: if you emphasize the lower eyelid, you will draw unnecessary attention to the fine wrinkles under the eyes.
This also applies to eyelashes: paint only the top ones.
The right shadows against wrinkles on the eyelids
Before applying eyeshadow, cover your eyelid with foundation to ensure the eyeshadow stays on. long time and won't smudge. Choose shadows in natural pastel shades, one or two shades darker than your skin color, this will allow wrinkles to become less noticeable.

Gloss will help “smooth out” your lips and make them look more youthful - you can choose any shade, just don’t forget to paint the middle part of your lips with a lighter gloss, this spot will give your lips additional volume.
The role of blush in the correction of wrinkles
If you decide to do anti-aging makeup, blush with a creamy texture is suitable: they look more natural than crumbly ones and do not emphasize wrinkles.
The trick is to combine two shades of blush: pink should be applied to the “apples” of the cheeks, and bronze-colored blush should be applied a little lower than the cheekbones. This technique will “raise” your cheekbones, which means it will make your face look more youthful.

Reasons for appearance
Despite the fact that deep “nasolabial lines” are considered a sign of age, the reasons for their appearance may not only be due to mature years. Wrinkles and folds in this area may result from:
- care errors: lack of care procedures, improper cleansing, lack of deep peeling procedures;
- facial structure;
- age-related skin sagging – ptosis;
- excessive completeness.
This is why it is so important to take care of your face from your youth. If there is a predisposition to early sagging (facial structure, excess weight), then nasolabial folds will appear very early. Therefore, you should strengthen your skin care and start losing excess weight.
Age-related drooping, sagging of the face (ptosis) is caused by the fact that in the upper part of the face the muscles are more prone to thinning and loss of elasticity, since they act less than the rest of the facial muscle corset. With age, muscles become weaker and hold the skin worse, leading to sagging.
If a young face has clearly defined cheekbones, raised eyebrows, lips, and a tucked chin, then after 35-40 years the corners of the lips sadly droop down. Unsightly “jowls” appear, which are almost impossible to correct except with the help of a plastic surgeon.
In addition, subcutaneous fat in the area of the cheekbones, cheeks, and forehead is very thin. On an older face, it almost completely disappears, so the face looks flatter, and the cheeks droop limply. This leads to the formation of a deep skin crease between the nose and lips.
What can be done
Is it possible to somehow prevent the appearance of nasolabial folds? Unfortunately, the arsenal available funds very small.
First of all, you need to take care of your skin regularly. Scrubs help prevent the formation of early skin wrinkles and delay visual aging, and after thirty years - regular chemical peels. Removing the upper layer of skin and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin fibers help delay the appearance of pronounced “nasolabial folds” and remove fine wrinkles.
From the age of thirty, you should pay attention to deep skin hydration. One day care cream is clearly not enough. The use of age serums and masks with hyaluronic acid is required.
An excellent means of correcting and preventing ptosis is massage. Deep treatment of problem areas helps to quite successfully combat existing and emerging expression wrinkles. Japanese, honey, and pinch massages have a beneficial effect not only on the skin, but also on the facial muscles, which means they can stimulate those muscles that are responsible for the appearance of deep folds in the nose and lips, strengthen and tighten this area.
After thirty-five, you should seriously think about beauty injections. Mesotherapy, injections with hyaluronic acid, as well as the hardware introduction of moisturizing and nutritional cocktails can, if not eliminate, then delay the appearance of nasolabial folds as far as possible.
There are also more radical methods - the introduction of fillers, for example. It is possible to remove skin creases in this way, but there is a risk side effects quite large, not every woman decides to have surgery. Only a surgeon’s knife can be guaranteed to get rid of nasolabial folds.
How makeup can help
Having discovered emerging nasolabial folds, many women try to disguise them with makeup. This must be done very delicately, since there is a high risk of not hiding, but emphasizing the fold.
From cosmetic products you will need:
- moisturizing cream;
- foundation;
- corrector (highlighter);
- dark and/or light powder;
- bronzer
The sequence of makeup application is very important. You will have to work very carefully. The stages of applying makeup are as follows.
Makeup step by step
- Cleanse skin thoroughly. Apply moisturizer. This stage is very important. Softened skin seems to be saturated with moisture from the inside, wrinkles become less noticeable. In addition, according to the moistened soft skin It will be easier to shade the corrector or foundation.
- Apply makeup base to a clean, moistened face. Cover the area of the nasolabial folds with pore grout.
- Apply foundation. For an older person would be better suited product with a lifting effect. With regular use, it rejuvenates the skin and tightens it. To successfully camouflage nasolabial lips, you need to apply a darker foundation to your face. The main thing is to distribute it evenly over the skin.
- Apply a creamy corrector or concealer to the area of the nasolabial folds, exactly matching your skin tone or half a shade darker, and blend thoroughly. The product should not contain shimmer. The transition between corrector and foundation should be seamless. Remove excess product.
- Use a light matte highlighter and a dark bronzer (without shimmer) to sculpt your face. A light tone is applied to the area above the cheekbone, bridge of the nose, upper lip, under the eyebrows, on the center of the forehead. Visually, we seem to stretch out the face, emphasizing all the advantageous details, distracting from sad wrinkles and folds.
- Now you need to work with bronzer. To do this, the outer edges of the forehead are darkened, the area under the cheekbone is drawn, and the “jowls” (sagging areas of the cheeks) are darkened. Dark tone should be applied to the double chin area. This will help visually tighten the oval of the face and remove the double chin.
- Colorless powder will help to fix the work. If it contains reflective particles, you can get a stronger visual effect rejuvenation You should not apply tinting powder over concealer or bronzer: the sculpting effect will disappear.
- To complete your makeup, apply a refreshing lipstick or gloss of pink, caramel, or coral color to your lips.
What mistakes should you avoid?
On an older face with pronounced nasolabial folds, “aging” lipstick colors look very bad: dark plum, burgundy, plum brown. They highlight the problem instead of masking it.
Other common makeup mistakes with pronounced nasolabial folds are the following:
- choosing the wrong shade foundation. If the tone is too light, then instead of masking, the effect will be of deliberately emphasizing the problem. In this case, using a bronzer will only aggravate it, highlight nasolabial folds and other facial wrinkles, and give the face an awkward appearance;
- generous application of foundation and corrector to the area of the nasolabial folds. No matter how carefully the makeup is shaded, if there is a lot of product, it will certainly form wrinkles. Instead of removing them, make-up will highlight imperfections on the skin;
- incorrect application of blush and bronzer will highlight the nasolabial folds, make the face even more “sad,” and emphasize sagging.
- It is very difficult to disguise the area of the nasolabial folds with makeup. In some cases, you need to abandon such an attempt so as not to aggravate the problem.

As a rule, any makeup has its own principles and rules. In order to hide wrinkles, you should also carefully consider what products you need to purchase.
For example, in this makeup it is better to use beige shades, which can make the complexion much fresher, adding youth and radiance to your face.
The so-called crow's feet can also be hidden by giving the eyes a “wide-open” look. To do this, you should use slightly dark shadows that are applied to the upper eyelid. In this case, the arrows are made from a combination of soft tones.
What should you know before starting makeup?
Makeup designed to thoroughly hide wrinkles should begin with the application of moisturizer. Without this product, the skin will look very dull, highlighting small wrinkles every now and then. To even out the skin, a moisturizing or silky makeup base is ideal.
The shade should ideally match the natural color of your face, except that you can use slightly lighter tones, but in no case dark, otherwise your face will age you.
How to disguise wrinkles?
Now it's time to start applying makeup directly to hide wrinkles and folds. The foundation should be applied evenly and effortlessly to the cheekbones, forehead, chin and nose. The nasolabial folds should be left alone without applying foundation to them. Makeup is evenly distributed to the area around wrinkles, thereby evening out the skin texture.
Wrinkles around the eyes are masked in the following way: firstly, creamy textures are used rather than loose powder, which will only highlight wrinkles. Secondly, you can use a light concealer to disguise dark circles under your eyes. Thirdly, use a pencil exclusively for lining the upper eyelid so as not to attract the attention of others to existing wrinkles.
- Avoid heavy eyeshadow, which tends to smear and fill in lines and wrinkles, highlighting them instead of hiding them.
- Before applying eyeshadow, use foundation to cover your upper eyelid. This way, the shadows will last longer than usual.
- The natural shape of the brows is accentuated using a light pencil to create a more youthful, energetic look.
Properly done makeup will help you always look happy and young. I wish you success!

Oh, those wrinkles! They annoy not only mature women, but also fairly young girls. The fight against facial wrinkles, and especially age-related wrinkles, has been going on for centuries. Today there is a way out! Cosmetologists, stylists and makeup artists offer many options on how to give our face youth, freshness and attractiveness. Today we will learn how to do this with makeup.
1. Hydration is the key to success
Girls with dry and combination skin, take note that before starting any makeup, the first thing you should do is moisturize your skin. Otherwise, even the smallest wrinkles will smile sarcastically through any makeup. Ideally, choose a moisturizing foundation. Don't forget: the tone should match your skin tone. A color that is too dark will make you look older, and a color that is too light will make you look like one of the characters from the Twilight Saga.
2. Masking with tone
When choosing foundation, avoid oil-based products and choose something with a silky texture.
When applying, start from the cheekbones, then move to the nose, then the chin and forehead. This should be done with gentle movements of the fingertips. You should not apply the tone to the nasolabial folds, just tint the areas around the wrinkles. This will help make your skin smoother.
To remove excess cream, use a sponge to go over the skin, especially in places where wrinkles appear.
3. Should you use concealer?
Absolutely yes. This will help visually even out the skin texture and hide shallow wrinkles. Makeup artists say one of the advantages of concealer is its ability to absorb quickly and last a long time.
4. Eyes are the mirror of the soul
And our souls are always young! To ensure your eyes always sparkle with youth, avoid loose powder, because... it only emphasizes wrinkles. Under-eye circles are well disguised with a light concealer. But if you want to emphasize the beauty of your eyes, outline only the upper eyelid and do not paint over the lower eyelashes, so as not to draw attention to minor age-related imperfections.
Now let's move on to the shadows. To ensure that they last a long time and do not smear, first apply foundation to your eyelids. In shades, give preference to pastel tones, 1-2 shades darker than your skin color. And that is not all! Use a white or beige pencil to draw the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid. Did you do everything right? Then your look will surely shine and conquer all the men of this planet.
5. A smile is our calling card
Yes, yes, everyone knows about it, and we never cease to delight others with a sweet, charming, seductive smile. But what to do with the wrinkles that have formed in the corners of the lips? Don't worry, they can be easily hidden with a light concealer. Gloss will also help make your lips look younger. The shades don’t matter; you can choose the color of your dress, your partner’s tie, or your mood. Just remember to highlight the middle part of your lips with a lighter shade, which will give extra volume to your lips.
6. The role of blush
For anti-aging makeup, blush with a creamy texture that masks rather than emphasizes wrinkles is more suitable. Blush looks very impressive in a combination of two shades: pink - on the “apples”
cheeks and bronze - below the cheekbones. This technique will refresh your face, lift your cheekbones, and therefore make your face look younger.
7. Ten hard nos when it comes to anti-aging makeup
Don't choose a foundation that is too light.
Do not overuse concealer: apply it only to problem areas with a special brush.
“Don’t over-powder”: in order not to dry out the skin on the cheeks and under the eyes, and therefore not emphasize wrinkles, apply powder only to the T-zone.
Avoid wearing dark eyeliner on your lower eyelid. Otherwise, it will make your eyes look smaller and emphasize under-eye circles and wrinkles.
Forget about pearlescent shadows that emphasize facial wrinkles.
A firm “no” to mascara on the lower lashes.
Avoid greasy and liquid lipsticks, which spread and accumulate in wrinkles, making your face look several years older.
Do not use dark shades of lipstick: it makes you look older.
Throw out orange and brown blush, which look unnatural and draw too much attention to your wrinkles.
Follow these simple rules, dear girls! Always remain young, attractive and cheerful! Love yourself, with or without wrinkles!! ;)
Wrinkles in the lower part of the face are a common problem for women, and not always due to age-related changes skin. Let's figure out how you can disguise nasolabial folds with the help of skillful makeup and visually take off at least 5-10 years.
Causes and prevention of nasolabial folds
Although the most common wrinkles in the nose and lips appear due to age, this is not the only possible variant. Their occurrence can also be triggered by excess weight, a specific facial structure, or improper care for the skin. And if you can’t rewind the years or correct the contour of your face without surgery, then everything else can be fixed.
With excess weight, everything is clear - you should try to get rid of it, as well as bad habits, as well as normalize your diet and increase your water consumption.
As for care, scrubs should be used from a young age, and after 30 years also intensive chemical peels. By removing the top layer of skin and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, they help eliminate fine lines and wrinkles and reduce the appearance of more noticeable ones. In addition, daytime skin cream is no longer enough to fully moisturize. It is necessary to add night cream, nourishing serums and masks to it.
Also an excellent remedy To correct age-related changes in facial skin, massage is used, and it does not necessarily have to be performed by a specialist in a salon. Simple stroking, patting, pinching and kneading movements with my own hands will be quite enough to stimulate blood circulation and strengthen the facial muscles.
More radical means are mesotherapy, beauty injections with hyaluronic acid or various nourishing and moisturizing compounds, injection of fillers or plastic surgery. All of them are effective, but expensive and not always safe.
Makeup and preparation for it
The whole principle of masking nasolabial folds with various cosmetics is based on the play of light and shadow, that is, on the skillful use of dark and light shades. Since light color has the property visual increase, with its help, deepened areas (i.e., wrinkles and other hollows) seem to be stretched out, and excessively convex areas are reduced and deepened with dark corrective agents.
The ideal foundation option would be a liquid or semi-liquid product with reflective particles, perhaps even combining a masking and moisturizing effect. A foundation that is too dense will accumulate in all the folds of the face, and an excessively oily one will lead to unpleasant glossy shine. All this will only emphasize nasolabial and other wrinkles.
Masking correctly
Necessary cosmetics and accessories: moisturizer, foundation, highlighter, bronzer, concealer, light powder, makeup brushes.
- In order for all concealers to adhere to the skin as best as possible, the face must be properly prepared. After standard care procedures - washing, toning, applying cream and/or serum - it is necessary to apply a leveling base product. It will partially fill wrinkles, even out the color and texture of the face, after which the foundation will lie more evenly.
- Next, a foundation is applied: to most of the face - a slightly darker shade, to the area around the nose and mouth - a slightly lighter one.
- Not applied exclusively to the area of the nasolabial folds. a large number of concealer that matches your natural skin color as closely as possible or, in extreme cases, a little darker. An alternative to concealer can be a matte eyebrow pencil with a reflective effect. It is very important to choose the right shade depending on whether there is a yellowish or pinkish tint in the natural skin color.
- Next, the contours of the face are sculpted with bronzer and light matte highlighter. A dark tone is applied to the outer edges of the forehead, areas under the cheekbone, and the area of the double chin. Light - on the back of the nose, the area above the upper lip, in the central part of the forehead, above the cheekbones and along the edges of the upper eyelids.
- Fasten light makeup colorless powder, and it is desirable that it contains reflective particles.
- The finishing touch of makeup is applying lipstick or lip gloss with a soft, but not greasy consistency. If a pencil is used, it should not contrast strongly with the shade of lipstick/gloss. Too much thin lips It’s better to try to visually enlarge it a little.
Additional attention is drawn to the lower part of the face and, accordingly, to the nasolabial folds bright shades lipsticks and lip products with a lot of shimmer, so older ladies should use calmer beige-pink colors and avoid shiny lipsticks and glosses.
Makeup mistakes
To avoid masking the nasolabial folds from emphasizing them even more strongly, you should not:
- use foundation that is too oily;
- choosing foundation significantly lighter shade skin;
- overuse concealer and powder;
- apply unnatural shades of blush;
- use oily and liquid lipsticks;
- apply makeup in a thick layer - in this case, after some time it will certainly begin to slide and accumulate in the natural recesses of the skin, only making them more noticeable;
- choose burgundy-plum lipsticks for lip makeup.
If you can’t master all these tricks on your own, even with the help of training videos, it may be worth visiting a makeup artist who will select your makeup individually, tell you in detail how to hide various skin imperfections, and share professional tricks.
Blush should be applied higher on the face. If you apply them at the bottom of the cheekbones and below, this will once again emphasize the nasolabial folds.
It should be understood that neither caring procedures, nor even skillfully done makeup are omnipotent and are not able to completely hide pronounced nasolabial folds. In such situations, only radical methods such as filling wrinkles or a facelift are effective. If you don’t want to resort to such risky procedures, then no matter how much you want to look younger, it’s better to just stop focusing on completely natural age-related skin changes and try to accept and love your appearance for what it is.

What they look like and the reasons for their appearance
In particularly advanced cases, nasolabial wrinkles look like two deep furrows running from the nose to the mouth. Of course, they pretty much spoil the appearance of even the most perfect face , They give age to their owners, but sooner or later they appear in most people.
Leading an unhealthy lifestyle, namely smoking, addiction to caffeine and alcohol, can accelerate the formation of nasolabial folds and aggravate the condition of existing ones.
Also at great risk are those girls who like to stretch out their lips for photographs. Yes, the lips will appear fuller, but such grimaces accelerate the formation of nasolabial folds, and they rarely look cute.
Otherwise, the reasons for the appearance of these wrinkles are as follows:
- bright active facial expressions, smiling;
- sudden weight loss, illness;
- insufficient skin care;
- poor nutrition;
- lack of water in the body;
- stress;
- facial structure features;
- rare exposure to fresh air;
- heredity;
- passion for tanning.
What do they offer at the beauty salon?
Every beauty salon must have a competent cosmetologist who can remove nasolabial folds.
The principle of the filler is to fill the wrinkle from the inside, that is, an effect that no expensive cream can provide. The result is visible immediately after the procedure.
Another way to fight is mesotherapy and biorevitalization. But these methods are rather preventative; they help improve the condition of the skin over the entire surface of the face, fill it with useful substances and moisturize it from the inside.
There is nothing to be afraid of, modern cosmetology has achieved incredible results and continues to develop further: every day new fillers, drugs appear, procedures are improved.
In order to get rid of nasolabial folds, you will not need to cut anything, fall asleep under general anesthesia, and there will not even be blood, because the procedures are carried out using injections of the finest needles.
How to remove nasolabial wrinkles at home
The fear of a cosmetologist may remain after visiting a bad specialist or a painful procedure. If this fear is insurmountable, it is quite possible to take home care for the area of the nasolabial folds.
Masks
Let us pay attention to the fact that you should start actively caring for your skin, doing masks, massage, and gymnastics not when wrinkles have already appeared, but before that.
Then the skin will thank you with its beautiful appearance and wrinkles will appear much later.
Masks can be either store-bought or made from improvised products, products that are always in the refrigerator: cottage cheese, eggs, sour cream, bananas.
Recipe No. 1
For this mask you will need a package of bay leaves, which must be soaked in a small amount of boiling water and then boiled. There you need to add 2-3 eggs, a little olive oil. The mixture should be cooled, then left on the face for 40 minutes; it is best to take a course of such masks.
Recipe No. 2
Prepare a rich chamomile decoction (dried inflorescences are sold at any pharmacy), soak a cotton pad in it, and cool in the freezer. Leave on problem areas for about 15 minutes.
After this mask, perhaps others will start asking you for advice on how to remove nasolabial wrinkles.
Recipe No. 3
We will need yeast (fresh) and milk. They should be mixed and left in a warm place for a while, then applied to the face for half an hour, rinse thoroughly.
Peels that help get rid of the upper stratum corneum of the skin can also make wrinkles a little less noticeable.
Crema
The older a person is, the lower the skin’s ability to independently produce these beneficial substances, so it is imperative to supply them from the outside.
Hyaluronic acid and collagen creams may cost a little more than regular nourishing creams, but they are worth it. Hyaluronic acid helps maintain an optimal level of skin moisture, replenish moisture loss, the skin becomes nourished and dense.
Massage
Regular massage improves blood circulation and skin turgor, improves complexion and helps you look younger. To enhance the effect, you can use an ice cube with beneficial herbs or decoctions during massage (chamomile and St. John's wort are suitable for this purpose).
There are various movements that help to gradually smooth out the “lines of grief” on the face:
- You can tap the cream frequently;
- you can massage the skin along the wrinkle in the direction from the nose to the mouth;
- you can press on certain points, and then, as it were, resist the pressure of your fingers with the help of your facial muscles.
It should be noted that for facial massage you can use not one finger, pressing on one point, but, for example, three or all at once, which will increase the efficiency and significantly enhance the effectiveness of the cream or serum used for the massage.
Such home treatments are not only pleasant and improve your mood in the morning, but can also significantly prolong the youthfulness of your skin.
Folk remedies
For one reason or another, you may put off visiting a professional cosmetologist and try to deal with nasolabial folds on your own.
Some folk remedies can be quite effective in this fight, for example, gymnastics.
There are a lot of exercises: stretching the lips with a tube, writing out the alphabet with the tongue, puffing out the cheeks - just a small part of all (you can also enter facelifting or faceforming into the search query). Try doing facial exercises for 10 minutes a day, and in a month you will notice the result.

How to hide creases with makeup
To make nasolabial wrinkles less noticeable, there are a lot of remedies. Let's look at some of them.
Firstly, to remove nasolabial folds with makeup, you can apply a special “wrinkle filler” under foundation, offered by many brands of modern cosmetics.
Of course, this method has its drawbacks: it works until the first wash, and the product usually contains silicones and clogs pores. But for special occasions, for example, a photo shoot, you can take note of this trick.
Secondly, you can highlight the creases using a highlighter or foundation of a lighter shade.
This method is widely used by beauty bloggers seeking a perfect facial appearance in photos and videos. Using highlighter in everyday life can look quite silly and too noticeable.
Prevention
As with any disease, getting rid of nasolabial wrinkles involves not only treatment, but also prevention.
Of course, it will not be possible to completely get rid of nasolabial folds forever with the help of prevention, but there is a high probability that their appearance will be significantly delayed and, when they appear, they will not be so deep.
As a preventive measure, cosmetologists advise starting to use high-quality creams with hyaluronic acid even before you notice pronounced wrinkles.
This will help your skin stay youthful and smooth longer.
So, the main methods for preventing nasolabial wrinkles are:
- massage;
- mesotherapy and biorevitalization;
- proper nutrition, drinking plenty of water;
- quitting cigarettes;
- use of sunscreens;
- peelings, masks, creams;
- gymnastics;
- controlling facial expressions;
- using ice in home care.
Is it worth getting plastic surgery?
Plastic surgery is everyone's choice, but it is indeed a very radical step that should be taken only if everything else no longer helps.
After all the variety of methods considered to combat nasolabial wrinkles, we can safely say that in this case plastic surgery is not needed. Home care and prevention are quite enough, and, as a last resort, you can remove nasolabial folds from a cosmetologist.
To summarize, we can say that, in general, nasolabial wrinkles are no different from all others: they require careful care, their appearance is inevitable, and you can get rid of them by trusting a professional.
However, in no case should you neglect the entire arsenal of home remedies, because they can actually delay the appearance of nasolabial folds for several years.

Reasons for appearance
How to disguise and hide nasolabial folds with makeup if you don’t want to go to cosmetologists? Yes, if the problem already exists, then it needs to be solved. But if you have not yet encountered it, but assume that such a problem will overtake you, you should understand the reasons for the appearance of nasolabial folds:
- Very often this problem appears due to insufficient care. Do not neglect moisturizing creams, scrubs and deep peeling. This does not require a huge amount of money and time, but your facial skin will definitely thank you;
- Facial structure. It also happens that the appearance of folds is associated with individual characteristics and genetics;
- Excess weight. Of course, if a woman is overweight, then the oval of her face will no longer be so fit and neat. In some cases, nasolabial folds also appear.
Cosmetologists recommend taking care of your face from youth, and not starting to do it when problems appear. Even at 20 years old, the skin needs care and hydration. The main thing is to choose the right cosmetics that will suit your age and skin type. In order to prevent the appearance of nasolabial folds, you do not need to apply nasolabial cream at the age of 25. aging skin, this will not only not help, but will also worsen the situation.
Useful procedures
There is no need to sound the alarm if it suddenly turns out that you have a genetic predisposition to the appearance of nasolabial folds, or your skin care was not as good as you would like. It’s not so scary, because modern cosmetology offers so many amazing products that can prolong youth for many years.
First of all, you should make it a rule to take care of your skin daily and use scrubs, masks, creams and tonics. If you apply moisturizer once a week, there will definitely be no result. Care must be of high quality and regular.
Consider your age. If you are already over thirty, then you definitely need to visit a cosmetologist and regularly do chemical peels. Yes, you are unlikely to do without cosmetologists if you want to look fresh and young.
It is also worth taking a close look at various masks, for example, Japanese or honey ones. You must first consult with a cosmetologist so that he can advise which procedures are best for you.
How can makeup help?
If you find yourself developing nasolabial folds, then you can hide them with the right makeup. But it is worth considering that this must be done very delicately, since it is likely not to mask the defect, but to make it only more noticeable. You may not be able to do this the first time and will have to practice. For concealing makeup you will need:
- Highlighter;
- Powder;
- Bronzer.
Forget what you knew about makeup before. In order to hide shortcomings, a certain sequence is necessary, which in no case should be violated.
Step by step makeup
Now you can proceed directly to makeup:
- First of all, you need to cleanse your skin with toner and apply moisturizer. This stage is very important, because if you apply makeup to dry skin, then small wrinkles will immediately appear on your face, perhaps even those that you did not have. In addition, applying decorative cosmetics to moisturized skin is much easier;
- After the cream is absorbed, apply foundation. But the area of the nasolabial folds must be treated with pore grout. For better effect It's best to use a foundation slightly darker than your skin tone. For age skin will suit lifting product;
- Concealer or corrector is applied to the area of the nasolabial folds. It should exactly match your skin tone. The transition from concealer to foundation is carefully shaded; there should be no clear boundaries;
- Now we should move directly to the face competition. For this you will need a dark bronzer and a light highlighter. First of all, we highlight the necessary areas - the area above the cheekbones, upper lip, back of the nose, under the eyebrows. It is also necessary to lighten the middle of the forehead. This way you will make your face a little thinner and sharper, which in turn will distract attention from wrinkles and minor imperfections;
- Don't forget that certain areas need to be darkened, so it's not for nothing that we prepared a bronzer. It should be applied to the edges of the forehead closer to the hair, on the cheekbones, outline the wings of the nose and darken the area of the double chin. This way you can not only hide imperfections, but even lose a few kilograms;
- To consolidate the effect, you need to apply colorless powder. Yes, exactly colorless. Under no circumstances use dense powders of a dark or, conversely, light shade;
- Wear lipstick or gloss on your lips.
Common mistakes
It should be noted that very often girls make mistakes when applying makeup, which obviously does not play into their hands. What can you do wrong? Actually a lot of things:
- Many women sin by choosing a foundation that is completely out of tune. But if the foundation is much lighter than your skin, then it will highlight all the problems that you have with your skin. Your complexion will be uneven, which means you will instantly age 5-10 years. And if you decide to correct the situation with the help of bronzer, you will emphasize nasolabial folds and fine wrinkles;
- Applying a large amount of foundation and concealer. There is no such rule - the more, the better. If you apply too much foundation, it will simply accumulate in wrinkles, nasolabial folds and on the wings of the nose. All this will look untidy, sloppy and ugly. Believe me, a large amount of decorative cosmetics will not help you, for example, cover up pimples or redness. You can only make them less noticeable;
- Incorrect application of cosmetics. Still, hiding nasolabial folds is quite difficult and not all women can do it. Therefore, if you see that nothing is working out for you, then you should abandon this idea. The wrong makeup is much worse than no makeup.
If you still cannot leave everything as it is and it is important for you to close the question of how to disguise nasolabial folds with makeup once and for all, then you should sign up for a professional makeup course. There, masters of their craft will work with you, and you will receive all the necessary skills.

Reasons for appearance
- facial structure;
- excessive completeness.
What can be done
Is it possible to somehow prevent the appearance of nasolabial folds? Unfortunately, the arsenal of available tools is very small.
An excellent means of correcting and preventing ptosis is massage. Deep treatment of problem areas helps to quite successfully combat existing and emerging expression wrinkles. Japanese, honey, and pinch massages have a beneficial effect not only on the skin, but also on the facial muscles, which means they can stimulate those muscles that are responsible for the appearance of deep folds in the nose and lips, strengthen and tighten this area.
How makeup can help
Cosmetic products you will need:
- moisturizing cream;
- foundation;
- corrector (highlighter);
- dark and/or light powder;
- bronzer
The sequence of makeup application is very important. You will have to work very carefully. The stages of applying makeup are as follows.
Makeup step by step
What mistakes should you avoid?
Other common makeup mistakes with pronounced nasolabial folds are the following:

Despite the fact that deep “nasolabial lines” are considered a sign of age, the reasons for their appearance may not only be due to mature years. Wrinkles and folds in this area may result from:
- care errors: lack of care procedures, improper cleansing, lack of deep peeling procedures;
- facial structure;
- age-related skin sagging – ptosis;
- excessive completeness.
This is why it is so important to take care of your face from your youth. If there is a predisposition to early sagging (facial structure, excess weight), then nasolabial folds will appear very early. Therefore, you should strengthen your skin care and start losing excess weight.
Age-related drooping, sagging of the face (ptosis) is caused by the fact that in the upper part of the face the muscles are more prone to thinning and loss of elasticity, since they act less than the rest of the facial muscle corset. With age, muscles become weaker and hold the skin worse, leading to sagging.
If a young face has clearly defined cheekbones, raised eyebrows, lips, and a tucked chin, then after 35-40 years the corners of the lips sadly droop down. Unsightly “jowls” appear, which are almost impossible to correct except with the help of a plastic surgeon.
In addition, subcutaneous fat in the area of the cheekbones, cheeks, and forehead is very thin. On an older face, it almost completely disappears, so the face looks flatter, and the cheeks droop limply. This leads to the formation of a deep skin crease between the nose and lips.
First of all, you need to take care of your skin regularly. Scrubs help prevent the formation of early skin wrinkles and delay visual aging, and after thirty years - regular chemical peels. Removing the upper layer of skin and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin fibers help delay the appearance of pronounced “nasolabial folds” and remove fine wrinkles.
From the age of thirty, you should pay attention to deep skin hydration. One day care cream is clearly not enough. The use of age serums and masks with hyaluronic acid is required.
An excellent means of correcting and preventing ptosis is massage. Deep treatment of problem areas helps to quite successfully combat existing and emerging expression wrinkles. Japanese, honey. Pinch massages have a beneficial effect not only on the skin, but also on the facial muscles, which means they can stimulate those muscles that are responsible for the appearance of deep folds in the nose and lips, strengthen and tighten this area.
After thirty-five, you should seriously think about beauty injections. Mesotherapy, injections with hyaluronic acid, as well as the hardware introduction of moisturizing and nutritional cocktails can, if not eliminate, then delay the appearance of nasolabial folds as far as possible.
There are also more radical methods - the introduction of fillers, for example. It is possible to remove skin creases in this way, but the risk of side effects is quite high; not every woman decides to undergo surgery. Only a surgeon’s knife can be guaranteed to get rid of nasolabial folds.
Having discovered emerging nasolabial folds, many women try to disguise them with makeup. This must be done very delicately, since there is a high risk of not hiding, but emphasizing the fold.
- Cleanse skin thoroughly. Apply moisturizer. This stage is very important. Softened skin seems to be saturated with moisture from the inside, wrinkles become less noticeable. In addition, it will be easier to blend the corrector or foundation over moisturized, soft skin.
- Apply makeup base to a clean, moistened face. Cover the area of the nasolabial folds with pore grout.
- Apply foundation. For an older face, a product with a lifting effect is better suited. With regular use, it rejuvenates the skin and tightens it. To successfully camouflage nasolabial lips, you need to apply a darker foundation to your face. The main thing is to distribute it evenly over the skin.
- Apply a creamy corrector or concealer to the area of the nasolabial folds, exactly matching your skin tone or half a shade darker, and blend thoroughly. The product should not contain shimmer. The transition between corrector and foundation should be seamless. Remove excess product.
- Use a light matte highlighter and a dark bronzer (without shimmer) to sculpt your face. A light tone is applied to the area above the cheekbone, the bridge of the nose, the upper lip, under the eyebrows, and to the center of the forehead. Visually, we seem to stretch out the face, emphasizing all the advantageous details, distracting from sad wrinkles and folds.
- Now you need to work with bronzer. To do this, the outer edges of the forehead are darkened, the area under the cheekbone is drawn, and the “jowls” (sagging areas of the cheeks) are darkened. The dark tone should be applied to the double chin area. This will help visually tighten the oval of the face and remove the double chin.
- Colorless powder will help to fix the work. If it contains reflective particles, you can get a stronger visual effect of rejuvenation. You should not apply tinting powder over concealer or bronzer: the sculpting effect will disappear.
- To complete your makeup, apply a refreshing lipstick or gloss of pink, caramel, or coral color to your lips.
On an older face with pronounced nasolabial folds, “aging” lipstick colors look very bad: dark plum, burgundy, plum brown. They highlight the problem instead of masking it.
- choosing the wrong shade of foundation. If the tone is too light, then instead of masking, the effect will be of deliberately emphasizing the problem. In this case, using a bronzer will only aggravate it, highlight nasolabial folds and other facial wrinkles, and give the face an awkward appearance;
- generous application of foundation and corrector to the area of the nasolabial folds. No matter how carefully the makeup is shaded, if there is a lot of product, it will certainly form wrinkles. Instead of removing them, make-up will highlight imperfections on the skin;
- incorrect application of blush and bronzer will highlight the nasolabial folds, make the face even more “sad,” and emphasize sagging.
- It is very difficult to disguise the area of the nasolabial folds with makeup. In some cases, you need to abandon such an attempt so as not to aggravate the problem.
All women over 40 face the problem of wrinkles appearing on their faces. And now you look at yourself in the mirror without pleasure, noticing age-related changes.
- You can no longer afford bright makeup; you control your facial expressions so as not to aggravate the problem.
- You begin to forget those moments when men complimented your flawless appearance, and their eyes lit up when you appeared.
- Every time you approach the mirror, it seems to you that the old days will never return.

On average, facial muscles contract about 15 thousand times per day!
We wrinkle our faces, frown our eyebrows, squint our eyes, and this inevitably leads to the appearance of facial wrinkles, which, by the way, affects everyone, regardless of age (see. Mechanisms of skin aging)
In this video, Lady Mail.Ru beauty editor Dasha Rozhko will tell you how to disguise facial wrinkles and what you shouldn’t use so as not to make them more noticeable.
Wrinkle correction is a pressing problem not only for older ladies, but also for fairly young women. Proper makeup will help you disguise crow's feet, nasolabial folds, get rid of wrinkles under the eyes - in general, it will make your face younger, fresher and more attractive.
Correction of wrinkles: the main thing is hydration
Before you start applying makeup, you should definitely moisturize your skin. On dry skin that needs hydration, even small wrinkles are especially clearly visible.
The ideal option is to choose a moisturizing and tinting cream at the same time. In this case, try to use a tone that matches the natural shade of your skin as closely as possible. A darker color will age you by several years. You can take a cream that is a little lighter than your skin: you will get the effect of a healthy glow, but then don’t forget about your neck!
Choosing foundation, give preference to a product with a silky texture and an oil-free basis. A thick, thick cream is not suitable for correcting wrinkles.
Skin toning and wrinkle correction
Start applying foundation from your cheekbones, moving towards your nose, chin and forehead. This should be done with light tapping movements of the fingers. Do not apply the cream to the nasolabial folds, but carefully tint the areas around the wrinkles: this way you can make the skin texture more even.
After applying the foundation, take the sponge in your hands and lightly walk it over the areas where wrinkles appear: this will remove excess cream.
Concealer will help hide wrinkles
Makeup artists recommend covering areas with wrinkles with concealers (correctors) water-based, the color of which is slightly lighter than skin. After application to the skin, this concealer is quickly absorbed, the area with wrinkles is visually evened out, and this effect lasts throughout the day.
Correction of wrinkles under the eyes
To get rid of wrinkles around the eyes, choose cream products, while avoiding loose powder: it will only emphasize the unevenness of the relief. If you notice dark circles under your eyes, you can cover them up with a light concealer.
Eye makeup should include lining only the upper eyelid: if you emphasize the lower eyelid, you will draw unnecessary attention to the fine wrinkles under the eyes.
This also applies to eyelashes: paint only the top ones.
The right shadows against wrinkles on the eyelids
Before applying shadow, cover your eyelid with foundation: this will ensure that the shadow will last a long time and will not smear. Choose shadows in natural pastel shades, one or two shades darker than your skin color, this will allow wrinkles to become less noticeable.
Kajal and correction of wrinkles with makeup
Eye makeup is not finished yet! Take a soft white or beige pencil and carefully draw the outline of the lower eyelid mucosa. This will add radiance to the look, and existing wrinkles will be completely lost in this radiance.
Correction of wrinkles around the lips
Vertical wrinkles are often visible in the corners of the lips, adding years of age. They can be quickly corrected with a light concealer. Gloss will help “smooth out” your lips and make them look more youthful - you can choose any shade, just don’t forget to paint the middle part of your lips with a lighter gloss, this spot will give your lips additional volume.
The role of blush in the correction of wrinkles
If you decide to do anti-aging makeup, blush with a creamy texture is suitable: they look more natural than crumbly ones and do not emphasize wrinkles.
The trick is to combine two shades of blush: pink should be applied to the “apples” of the cheeks, and bronze-colored blush should be applied a little lower than the cheekbones. This technique will “raise” your cheekbones, which means it will make your face look more youthful.
Wrinkle correction: 10 makeup mistakes that age you
- Using a rich foundation.
- The foundation is too light.
- “Too much” concealer: it should be applied only to small problem areas, using a special flat brush for this.
- Excessive powder: Apply it only to the T-zone, otherwise it will dry out the skin on the cheeks and under the eyes, making wrinkles more noticeable.
- Dark eyeliner on the lower eyelid. This makes the eyes appear smaller and draws attention to dark circles and wrinkles under the eyes.
- Pearlescent shadows: they emphasize facial wrinkles.
- Mascara on lower lashes.
- Oily and liquid lipsticks - they spread, accumulating in wrinkles around the lips and blurring the contour of the lips, because of this the face looks several years older.

The main task of anti-aging makeup is to disguise the signs of aging; the decorative function is secondary. The most difficult thing to hide is deep expression wrinkles. Incorrectly selected products, on the contrary, focus attention on unevenness. Not much attention is paid to the correction of nasolabial folds, although this point is very important for visual rejuvenation.

Deep wrinkles on the face - this is a big problem for many women, whether they are 30 years old or 50.

A poor lifestyle and lack of appropriate care will only make the situation worse. It is quite possible to remove nasolabial folds at home. But only a set of activities that are performed regularly will help make your skin elastic and smooth.
In general, nasolabial folds are wrinkles of facial origin, which are similar to the grooves running towards the nose from the edges of the lips. If the skin is not in a very neglected state, then you can see it when a person smiles. But this is at a young age, and over time they are noticeable to the naked eye, standing out with clarity and depth.
Reasons for formation
Nasolabial lips are formed to a greater extent in those people who lead wrong image life and have addictions to bad habits, as well as if there is a genetic predisposition. At a young age, sagging skin does not allow them to fully manifest themselves. But with age, especially after 30 years, that is, as the skin withers, nasolabial folds become pronounced. Deep wrinkles can also be caused by poor care.
Heredity also plays a special role in the formation of nasolabial lips. And of course the most common reason is facial expressions.
You can reduce nasolabial folds with:
- Masks and compresses;
- Yoga for the face;
- Massage;
- Special exercises.
Before reaching 30 years of age, there is a great chance of getting rid of wrinkles at home, without resorting to injection methods in salons.

You can also make masks using vegetable oils– apricot, almond, peach, coconut and olive. To do this, you just need to apply a small amount of oil on your fingers and massage them. problem area for 7 – 10 minutes. However, do not overdo it and overstretch the skin.

- Herbal compresses from St. John's wort, chamomile, calendula and coltsfoot. To do this, you need to make a tincture and soak gauze in it. It should be applied to the problem area of the face daily.

- Carol Maggio Method
- Shiatsu
- Indian method
- Greer Childers Respiratory System
- Asahi
The exercises of this massage were developed by Japanese geishas. They help strengthen the muscles on the face and eliminate nasolabial folds.
Anti-aging products
When choosing an anti-aging product, it is worth remembering that if you are 30 years old, then you should not buy creams marked “+50”. Such a discrepancy will only aggravate the situation with the skin of the face. A product that will care for facial skin must contain collagen, hyaluronic acid and coenzyme. No matter how old you are, such products will make your skin tightened and elastic, smooth out wrinkles and make your complexion natural.
Mesoscooters
There is another method - a relatively new one, which helps with the question of how to remove nasolabial folds at home. And these are mesoscooters - special rollers for massage, which are equipped with the smallest needles (1.5 mm). Similar to a laser, a mesoscooter fills the skin with collagen. This type of massage makes it possible to get significant results when getting rid of small nasolabial lips on your own. The essence of the procedure is to stimulate the functioning of the superficial skin layer. The rejuvenation mechanism is triggered by stimulation of nerve receptors and blood flow. Procedures with the mesoscooter must be performed constantly.
The fight against nasolabial problems must be continuous; you cannot do it from time to time or give up everything in the middle. First of all, you should think over tactics - change your lifestyle, quit bad habits, schedule exercises.
Of course, you don’t have to change everything at once - you can do it gradually. And then the result will be impressive.
Nasolabial folds cause women a lot of grief and trouble. Moreover, the age of their appearance varies from 25 to 45 years. The fact is that not always pronounced folds in the nose and mouth are caused by age-related aging.
Despite the fact that deep “nasolabial lines” are considered a sign of age, the reasons for their appearance may not only be due to mature years. Wrinkles and folds in this area may result from:
- care errors: lack of care procedures, improper cleansing, lack of deep peeling procedures;
- facial structure;
- age-related skin sagging – ptosis;
- excessive completeness.
This is why it is so important to take care of your face from your youth. If there is a predisposition to early sagging (facial structure, excess weight), then nasolabial folds will appear very early. Therefore, you should strengthen your skin care and start losing excess weight.
Age-related drooping, sagging of the face (ptosis) is caused by the fact that in the upper part of the face the muscles are more prone to thinning and loss of elasticity, since they act less than the rest of the facial muscle corset. With age, muscles become weaker and hold the skin worse, leading to sagging.
If a young face has clearly defined cheekbones, raised eyebrows, lips, and a tucked chin, then after 35-40 years the corners of the lips sadly droop down. Unsightly “jowls” appear, which are almost impossible to correct except with the help of a plastic surgeon.
In addition, subcutaneous fat in the area of the cheekbones, cheeks, and forehead is very thin. On an older face, it almost completely disappears, so the face looks flatter, and the cheeks droop limply. This leads to the formation of a deep skin crease between the nose and lips.
What can be done
Is it possible to somehow prevent the appearance of nasolabial folds? Unfortunately, the arsenal of available tools is very small.
First of all, you need to take care of your skin regularly. Scrubs help prevent the formation of early skin wrinkles and delay visual aging, and after thirty years - regular chemical peels. Removing the upper layer of skin and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin fibers help delay the appearance of pronounced “nasolabial folds” and remove fine wrinkles.
From the age of thirty, you should pay attention to deep skin hydration. One day care cream is clearly not enough. The use of age serums and masks with hyaluronic acid is required.
An excellent means of correcting and preventing ptosis is massage. Deep treatment of problem areas helps to quite successfully combat existing and emerging expression wrinkles. Japanese, honey, and pinch massages have a beneficial effect not only on the skin, but also on the facial muscles, which means they can stimulate those muscles that are responsible for the appearance of deep folds in the nose and lips, strengthen and tighten this area.
After thirty-five, you should seriously think about beauty injections. Mesotherapy, injections with hyaluronic acid, as well as the hardware introduction of moisturizing and nutritional cocktails can, if not eliminate, then delay the appearance of nasolabial folds as far as possible.
There are also more radical methods - the introduction of fillers, for example. It is possible to remove skin creases in this way, but the risk of side effects is quite high; not every woman decides to undergo surgery. Only a surgeon’s knife can be guaranteed to get rid of nasolabial folds.
How makeup can help
Having discovered emerging nasolabial folds, many women try to disguise them with makeup. This must be done very delicately, since there is a high risk of not hiding, but emphasizing the fold.
Cosmetic products you will need:
- moisturizing cream;
- foundation;
- corrector (highlighter);
- dark and/or light powder;
- bronzer
The sequence of makeup application is very important. You will have to work very carefully. The stages of applying makeup are as follows.
Makeup step by step
- Cleanse skin thoroughly. Apply moisturizer. This stage is very important. Softened skin seems to be saturated with moisture from the inside, wrinkles become less noticeable. In addition, it will be easier to blend the corrector or foundation over moisturized, soft skin.
- Apply makeup base to a clean, moistened face. Cover the area of the nasolabial folds with pore grout.
- Apply foundation. For an older face, a product with a lifting effect is better suited. With regular use, it rejuvenates the skin and tightens it. To successfully camouflage nasolabial lips, you need to apply a darker foundation to your face. The main thing is to distribute it evenly over the skin.
- Apply a creamy corrector or concealer to the area of the nasolabial folds, exactly matching your skin tone or half a shade darker, and blend thoroughly. The product should not contain shimmer. The transition between corrector and foundation should be seamless. Remove excess product.
- Use a light matte highlighter and a dark bronzer (without shimmer) to sculpt your face. A light tone is applied to the area above the cheekbone, the bridge of the nose, the upper lip, under the eyebrows, and to the center of the forehead. Visually, we seem to stretch out the face, emphasizing all the advantageous details, distracting from sad wrinkles and folds.
- Now you need to work with bronzer. To do this, the outer edges of the forehead are darkened, the area under the cheekbone is drawn, and the “jowls” (sagging areas of the cheeks) are darkened. The dark tone should be applied to the double chin area. This will help visually tighten the oval of the face and remove the double chin.
- Colorless powder will help to fix the work. If it contains reflective particles, you can get a stronger visual effect of rejuvenation. You should not apply tinting powder over concealer or bronzer: the sculpting effect will disappear.
- To complete your makeup, apply a refreshing lipstick or gloss of pink, caramel, or coral color to your lips.
What mistakes should you avoid?
On an older face with pronounced nasolabial folds, “aging” lipstick colors look very bad: dark plum, burgundy, plum brown. They highlight the problem instead of masking it.
Other common makeup mistakes with pronounced nasolabial folds are the following:
- choosing the wrong shade of foundation. If the tone is too light, then instead of masking, the effect will be of deliberately emphasizing the problem. In this case, using a bronzer will only aggravate it, highlight nasolabial folds and other facial wrinkles, and give the face an awkward appearance;
- generous application of foundation and corrector to the area of the nasolabial folds. No matter how carefully the makeup is shaded, if there is a lot of product, it will certainly form wrinkles. Instead of removing them, make-up will highlight imperfections on the skin;
- incorrect application of blush and bronzer will highlight the nasolabial folds, make the face even more “sad,” and emphasize sagging.
- It is very difficult to disguise the area of the nasolabial folds with makeup. In some cases, you need to abandon such an attempt so as not to aggravate the problem.
No matter how women struggle with wrinkles, their appearance, unfortunately, is inevitable. But knowledge of the basic techniques for applying decorative cosmetics helps to disguise hated wrinkles and give the face a more youthful and fresh look.
Instructions
Particular attention must be paid day cream, which you use before applying makeup. Usually,
skin suffers from
Therefore, you should give preference to moisturizing creams that are easily absorbed and do not make the skin too oily.
When choosing a foundation, give preference to creams with a light, silky texture and avoid greasy and thick products. Too much fat cream will only emphasize wrinkles and will make them more visible.
You should also choose the shade of your foundation very carefully. Avoid creams that are darker than your skin tone. They will give a face dull color and will only visually age the skin. Take the time to choose a shade that is as close to yours as possible. natural color skin. It would also be appropriate to purchase a foundation that is one shade lighter than your skin. It will give your face a fresher and more radiant look and make wrinkles less noticeable.
To disguise wrinkles around the eyes, use a corrective product (concealer). It should be a little lighter than the foundation. Using your fingertips, gently, without force, apply the product to the skin around the eyes. After applying the concealer, you can begin applying foundation.
It is worth noting that the foundation should be applied to the forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, avoiding the area of the nasolabial folds. Foundation will only highlight them and make them sharper.
Squeeze out the required amount before applying foundation on the hand, in the area between the thumb and index finger. Once heated, the cream will lie on the surface of the skin more evenly. You can use a sponge to apply, but it's best to use your fingertips.
The powder should be applied only to the nose, chin and forehead with a special brush to avoid the appearance of shine if you have oily skin. But applied in the eye area, powder will only emphasize wrinkles.
Be careful with shadows and buy quality products. Cheap shadows can “roll up” and get into wrinkles, making them very noticeable.

Nowadays, there is such an abundance of foundations on sale that every woman can choose the ideal one that suits her skin type and color. The foundation allows you to successfully correct your appearance, if there are skin imperfections, it can give it a healthy and radiant look.
Creating facial beauty always begins with a “background” or base; this is the basis of any makeup. However, without certain skills, you can easily turn your face into a faceless mask and seriously harm your skin.
What should you consider when applying foundation to your face?
- First of all, remember that the presence of foundation should not be obvious. Its main task is to even out the complexion and make it as less noticeable as possible.
- Choose a shade that is closest to your skin color, avoiding either a tone that is too light or too pink. If the shade is not suitable, try mixing 2-3 different tones to get desired result. To check how well the tone matches your natural skin color, apply it to the back of your hand (its color is usually close to your complexion).
- To achieve an even tone, do not overuse the product and do not apply it with fingertips. It would be more correct to take a drop of the tone in the palm of your hand, rub it over the surface and apply it with gentle movements, lightly pressing, on your face, lips and neck. Then gently blend the tone from the middle to the sides. Using your fingertips, treat the area around the eyes, eyebrows, on the wings of the nose and along the contour of the face. If the look does not seem flawless enough, repeat the procedure and secure the result.
- There are other techniques that can be used to achieve an even and consistent tone. One of them is using a sponge applicator (sponge). Moisten the sponge with tonic and blot off excess moisture with a napkin. After this, take a small amount of foundation onto the applicator and apply it in light circular motions, starting from the chin towards the ear, and from the middle of the face to the edge. Be sure to blend the tone closer to the neck so that there is no sharp transition.
- Foundations help disguise small imperfections on the skin. The best in this regard is a correction pencil. Apply the corrector to the problem area, lightly tapping into the skin with your fingertips. If you don’t have a corrector, another method will help. Take a small amount of a lighter tone, not pink, but beige shades and mix it on back side palms with a tiny amount of green shadows. Gently apply the mixture to the redness or pimple.
- Age spots can be hidden if you use a foundation in a shade intermediate between their color and your complexion.
- If you need to hide the circles under your eyes, apply a lighter tone over them and blend them along the border with the base, and then powder. You can also apply a little blush to the edges of the dark circles.
- To disguise wrinkles, apply a white tone directly onto them before using foundation. This will help visually smooth out wrinkles. Another way is to apply a little blush to the wrinkles with your fingertips, blend, and then use foundation.
Unfortunately, not all women have ideal facial skin. Small blood vessels, freckles, uneven complexion, dark circles under the eyes, inflamed areas... The list of these shortcomings can be continued endlessly. But the situation is fixable: problem areas on the face can be disguised.
You will need
- – masking cream;
- - Foundation;
- – corrector pencil;
- – cream powder;
- - sponge
Instructions
To hide dark circles under your eyes, you will need a concealer cream. A yellow corrector works great for “bruises,” while a peach or pink corrector neutralizes purple and green circles. Gently apply the concealer to the eyelid and under-eye area, then spread it out with your fingertips. Do this with light air movements, do not force it, so as not to damage the thin, delicate skin.
For acne, to camouflage your face, in addition to corrector cream, you will also need foundation. Apply the concealer to the wings of the nose, eyes, and the area at the corners of the lips. Cover all other areas of your face with foundation and gently blend.
You can even hide a scar. For this you will need a corrector pencil. However, you need to choose the right shade of concealer: if the flaw forms a hole, the corrector should be a tone lighter than the complexion, but if there is a scar on the skin, use a pencil darker than the skin color.
Before concealing a scar, hold the concealer in your hands: once warmed up, it will glide better over the skin of your face. Apply the concealer carefully, without extending beyond the defect. Then put foundation on top.
To disguise inflamed areas, use a green corrector: it completely neutralizes redness. A masking agent based on: essential oil tea tree. Apply the cream to problem areas with your fingertips, while performing tapping movements.

Modern cosmetology is sometimes amazing at the level of development that it has managed to achieve over the past few decades. All kinds of drugs and procedures designed to make people beautiful can not only radically change the life of a person who dreams of correcting the shortcomings that nature has “awarded” him, but also have, unfortunately, an irreparable effect on his health, about which everyone should be warned lovers of the now very common procedure using Botox.
Instructions
Today, good appearance has become synonymous with success and a guarantee of recognition in society, which is why many men and women, trying to prolong youth and beauty, try by any means to disguise the expression wrinkles that have appeared over time in the corners of the eyes and lips, and to correct the “worn” oval of the face.
Botox or botulinum toxin began to be actively used since the mid-eighties of the last century, since then the awareness of its fans and the skill of specialists using, without exaggeration, a toxic substance, is incredible
However, the consequences of infatuation with such beauty injections still do not cease to show their most
manifestations.
Botox itself is obtained as a result of the vital activity of a certain microbe, which in ordinary life causes the disease botulism. Its action is based on “microparalysis” of the muscles, which stops the flow of nerve signals to the hated nasolabial folds and wrinkles between the eyes, artificially preventing their mobility. As a result, the muscles that were affected in this way completely relax and smooth out within a few days, giving the person the desired beauty.
Experts warn that excessive use of such drugs can lead to complete muscle atrophy, paralysis, and disappearance of facial expressions. Over time, the positive effect of Botox on smoothing out wrinkles decreases, and increasing the dosage, in turn, can cause instant stiffening of the muscles, which leads to distortion or asymmetry of the face.
It is no secret that botulinum toxin causes severe swelling and fluid stagnation in the body, resulting in circles under the eyes, heavier eyebrows, and drooping eyelids.
Neurologists warn patients that Botox is not compatible with many medications and causes serious complications in case of emergency operations performed immediately after cosmetic procedure. If Botox enters the facial artery, it can cause instant blindness, stroke, and other brain damage. It is no secret that Botox weakens the nerve connections between the muscles of the face and the brain; over time, this leads to a person losing the ability to express the necessary emotions.
Psychologists are sounding the alarm and shouting at the top of their voices about the effect of Botox on a person’s psycho-emotional state, because as the effect of the procedure is lost, the person becomes more unhappy and, along with the return of wrinkles, loses the joy of life, making more and more attempts to change his appearance with the help of an injection.
Women by various means trying to maintain their beauty. Cosmetics, diets, sports, stylish outfits, manicures are used. However, there are 5 common habits that can easily make you look ugly.
The first habit that will easily and quickly make you ugly is constantly touching your face with your hands. The skin around the eyes especially suffers from such actions. It is very sensitive, and if you constantly rub it, it quickly stretches and loses elasticity. This habit will lead to the early formation of facial wrinkles. Constant touch also affects other areas of the face. negative impact. Hands come into contact with a lot of things. Microbes can easily get into micro-wounds and cause inflammation.
The second habit directly relates to your hands. Lack of manicure, peeling polish or bitten nails make a girl unattractive. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to constantly use bright varnishes. It is enough to take care of the cuticle by regularly rubbing oil, and the skin of your hands using cream.
The third habit that does not contribute to beauty is the lack of 8-hour rest. We are talking directly about sleep. It is during this time that the body recovers, renewing all processes. The skin is also renewed: this happens from 22.00 to 02.00 hours. If you want to maintain your beauty, give up nightclubs, late chats and extra work after hours.
The fourth habit is using the wrong foundation. Wanting to disguise all possible imperfections, many girls use a shade darker than their own. However, this habit will make you ugly, because... An unsuitable foundation will make inflammation and skin problems more obvious. And the resulting “mask” will make you look older and will not allow your skin to breathe.
To disguise imperfections, purchase highly targeted products. For example, a green shade corrector will visually relieve you from inflammation. Leave dark circles under your eyes to concealer.
Fifth bad habit- laziness. It's why you don't take off your makeup before bed, don't use a scrub, or prefer the elevator instead of the stairs. It is difficult to get rid of it, but it is possible for girls who want to preserve their beauty for a long time. Always remember that every movement or mask you make helps you stay beautiful for a longer time.
How to disguise wrinkles
