“The wrinkle: Forehead furrows. After massaging a righ moisturizer all over, target furrows with a foundation primer. Made with silicones and polymers, these silky, invisible gels fill in fine lines, leveling out the skin's surface."

“The wrinkle: Crow's feet. Apply a nongreasy eye balm then follow with a bit of oil-free concealer laced with optical diffusers, which obscure imperfections and make crinkly skin appear smoother. Set makeup with a dusting of featherweight translucent powder 'to keep concealer from sliding into - and accentuating - creases' Raffaele explains."

“The wrinkle: Marionette lines at sides of mouth. To counteract the sad appearance these creases create, even out your complexion with your usual foundation, then smooth a semisheer formula (one shade lighter than your everyday base) over marionette lines to give them a plumper look."
