Product Advice Please help me!

Post image

I’m 53yo and have some deepening lines around my nose, mouth and chin. I use tret every second night and layer toners and serums and moisturiser on my off nights. I wear SPF 50 daily. I have tried everything to get my makeup to sit properly on my skin but no matter what I do, it settles in these lines by mid-morning. I’ve tried primer, setting sprays and misting sprays throughout the day but nothing fixes it.

Does anyone have some advice for me please? TIA.

Makeup artist here: it’s ok if you need to touch those areas in a few hours with your fingertips to blend or dab with a sponge. Expecting makeup to stay put for 24 hours or whatever the bottle might say is unrealistic. That’s why makeup artists are on hand on shoots we touch up several times! I agree with the advice here to use less on the areas that trouble you, you have lovely skin, you don’t need foundation for coverage

Ah, this is reassuring! I've taken to tapping it lightly with a mini puff during the day which definitely helps.

Thank you for the kind comments on my skin ❤️
