Wrinkles around the eyes can instantly age your complexion whether they’re on the lids, in the corners, or in between your brows. While good skincare is the ultimate fix for restoring elasticity in the skin, makeup can be just as good for a quick fix. Experts have shared the two best anti-ageing beauty techniques to conceal crow’s feet and other fine lines on mature skin.
Wrinkles are hard to prevent on the face with everything from talking and smiling to laughing known to contribute to signs of ageing – particularly around the eyes.
Treating your skin with hydrating formulas and collagen-boosting ingredients is the best form of prevention against these common skin problems, though you can use cosmetics like blusher, concealer, foundation and even eyebrow products to reduce the appearance of fine lines on your face.
According to experts at My Face Cosmetics, a combination of eyebrow products, primer and concealers are the best remedies for “deep” wrinkles around the eye area.
They said: “If you’re looking for an easy way to hide wrinkles at home without leaving too big a hole in your bank account, turn to makeup. Although temporary, makeup is a great way to make your wrinkles near-invisible.”

Using any old products will work to even out your skin tone and texture, though the beauty experts recommended sticking to silicone primer and light facial correctors for the best results.
The My Face Cosmetics team said: “A silicone primer followed by a light coverage foundation should help to mask the severity of your lines. The clever use of colour concealers can also help to lift away the darkness and shadows caused by wrinkles, giving your face a smoother and more even appearance.”
Silicone-based primers are considered a magic weapon for many beauty professionals, and there’s good reason for it too. Caitlin Picou, a makeup artist and owner of Kismet, a boutique cosmetics brand said: “If you think of the wrinkle as a small valley, the silicone fills that valley, creating a smoother surface for you to apply your foundation.”
She noted that the “best way” to apply it is with your hands or a small brush as a sponge will just soak up the product.

When it comes to adding a light layer of foundation or concealer, use a clean, fluffy brush to lightly blend the product into the crease of your wrinkles.
For signs of ageing under the eyes, the cosmetics experts noted that applying a “reflecting” concealer “directly to the wrinkles” is a “good way” to hide them without exaggerating them with an excess of makeup.
Smoothing over the texture of wrinkles isn’t the only way to conceal crow’s feet and other fine lines bothering your complexion.
In fact, the way you style your eyes and eyebrows can also make a big difference to the prominence of crinkled skin.
Hillary Kline, a Minneapolis-based makeup artist and beauty blogger explained that false lashes should be avoided if you want to avoid drawing attention to “saggy eyelids” or crow’s feet. She said: “To give your lashes a boost, reach for an eyelash curler and mascara instead. Curling your eyelashes can help give the lashes more volume and definition, which will help disguise wrinkles.”
Frosty, glittery products are also another “no-no” for mature complexions as they settle into fine lines, making them “more obvious”. Hillary explained that a matte eyeshadow should be your go-to instead, with a thin layer of concealer underneath to prime the base.
While liquid eyeliners should also be avoided on mature complexions, focusing on your eyebrows is a great way to draw attention away from any lingering fine lines.
A well-groomed brow with a soft arch and well-matched colour will instantly frame your face while highlighting your eyes. The beauty experts recommended using a soft pencil to create hair-like strokes in the same direction as your natural brow, along with a clear gel to set them in place.
