The Best Concealers for Mature Skin
Post last updated: 17/02/2023
Concealer is one of the handiest products to have in your makeup arsenal. You can use it in multiple ways depending on what you’re trying to achieve, including evening out your skin tone, camouflage blemishes and add highlights to certain areas of your face.
Concealer is especially helpful in brightening and evening out mature skin which can often show discolouration from age spots and pigmentation as well as dark circles under the eyes. Finding the right concealer if you have maturer skin can be tricky. Look for buildable coverage concealers to help cover stubborn circles and age spots but equally, you'll want a concealer that won't crease around your eyes.
How to Apply Concealer Over Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Mature skin responds best to a creamy concealer formula that won’t settle into fine lines and wrinkles and is non-drying on the skin. Prep the area before with a hydrating face or eye primer to help moisturise the delicate skin and fill in fine lines. Applying a light powder (sparingly) over your concealer to set it and help minimise creasing throughout the day.
