7 Tips For 'Disguising' Fine Lines And Crow's Feet With Foundation And Concealer, According To An Expert

1. Use A 'Less Is More' Approach With Foundation

Sandler's first recommendation is to "go easy on the amount of product that you apply when it comes to foundation and concealer."

2. Choose A Light-Reflecting Concealer

Secondly, he advised using "light reflecting concealers on those areas" and not choosing anything "too glittery."

3. Skip Glittery Eye Products

Glitter in your eye makeup products, he stressed, will "actually enhance fine lines" and "look quite old fashioned actually."

4. Opt For A Blurring Primer

Before applying any eye makeup at all, Sandler said to go for a primer designed "to illuminate and disguise" fine lines and "brighten the whole area under the eye, including crow's feet. He recommended his brand's Blossom Colour Beauty Glow Multi-Tasking Primer (above).

5. Add A Blotting Powder

After you've applied the primer "under your makeup or you mix it with your foundation or your concealer," Sandler said to then add a powder over it. He used his brand's Invisible Veil Blotting Powder. "It will not enhance fine lines and wrinkles, crow's feet, whatever you want to call them," he noted.

6. Don't Apply 'Too Much Skincare' Under Your Makeup

Another piece of advice Sandler offered to prevent makeup from settling into fine lines is to use a minimal amount of skincare products beneath your makeup.

"What will happen is it may feel fantastic at the time, your skin will feel emollient that you've applied moisturizer, serums, SPF, but go easy," he shared. The artist added that "too much of it will sit on the surface of the skin and it will start eating away at your makeup throughout the day," and "it will start going into those lines."

7. Consistently Blend Creasing Makeup With A Concealer Brush Throughout The Day

What you can do if your makeup is "going into your lines" is to get "a clean cotton bud or a concealer brush," Sandler advised.

The Bottom Line

He concluded: "you literally just blend away anything that's gone into a crease, tap it out with your finger to blend, and then go back with a little bit of my press powder." Sounds worth a try to us!
