Wear More Moisturizer
This isn’t a magical way to cover your fine lines and wrinkles as you head out the door in the morning. But stick with it and you’ll start seeing results in just a couple of weeks. Wearing extra moisturizer infuses your skin with hydration, which helps plump it up. When that happens, your fine lines and wrinkles naturally tend to smooth out a bit. Look for a moisturizer that is designed to treat the signs of aging for even better results.

Try a Primer
According to make-up experts, a primer can help soften the appearance of wrinkles. Gently apply the primer after your moisturizer and before your foundation. The best primers are those that contain silicone because they do the best job of smoothing things out and filling in uneven skin texture.

Dust on Some Shimmer
When you give your look some dimension and interest, you detract from the flaws you’re trying to cover up. A tiny dab of shimmer is just the thing to do the job. That shine draws the eye away from your fine lines and wrinkles, helping mask them without having to get to crazy with cover-up. Use shimmer on your eyelids and cheeks for the best results.

Lighten up
On your foundation, that is. Some foundations are too heavy to cover up fine lines and wrinkles and just end up settling in them, making it all worse. Switch to a light coverage foundation and you’ll see an immediate difference. The product will stay where it’s meant to and you’ll be able to slick it over your lines, making them less apparent.

Use a Retinoid Product
You may have to get a prescription for a retinoid cream, but this ingredient is a powerful one for combatting the signs of aging. It works by boosting collagen production, which helps renew your skin’s appearance and smooths lines and wrinkles. It can be irritating if you wear too much, so be sure you follow application directions pretty closely.

Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration.
Simplify Your Routine
According to skincare experts, using too many products can actually make fine lines and wrinkles look more prominent. That’s because piling on too many skincare ingredients can irritate your skin, making the problem even worse. Use just a few products that target your skin type and specific conditions and you’ll be good to go.

Emphasize Your Lips
Think about the drama that a great red lipstick creates. Chances are that’s what people will notice when you wear it. That means there will be less emphasis on fine lines and wrinkles and more on your favorite feature. Slick on a couple coats of your ideal red shade and you won’t even be thinking about your so-called flaws.
Aging can be beautiful so there’s no reason to feel ashamed of your fine lines and wrinkles. That being said, if you want to cover them, more power to you. What other ways do you have to mask the signs of aging?
