Hide Wrinkles
If you aren't careful, your makeup might enhance your wrinkles. "Avoid powders, which can sink into lines and make you look older," says makeup artist Jemma Kidd. Smooth Good Skin Labs Tri-Aktiline Instant Deep Wrinkle Filler ($39.50) over lines to immediately plump them. Let it absorb and then apply a liquid foundation. We like M.A.C. Studio Sculpt Foundation ($28).

Brighten Eyes
"Prevention is key when it comes to eyes," notes Kidd. Her Firming I-Crème Duo shadows in Silk ($40) are filled with antiaging ingredients like Dermaxyl. And don't forget to treat as you conceal. Chanel Lift Lumière Concealer ($45) reduces the appearance of dark circles with a tetrapepide.
Tone Down Redness
"The ingredients in your makeup must be soothing," notes Cover FX makeup artist Nathan Johnson. Try Clinique Redness Solutions Instant Relief Mineral Powder ($32.50), which has caffeine and mushroom extract to calm skin.
Conceal Breakouts
"Makeup slides on oily skin, so apply mattifying products to control shine," says Johnson. Try Cover FX Clearprep FX primer ($39) or Rimmel London Stay Matte Clarifying Matte Foundation ($6.99).
Maximize Moisture
"Powder can look cakey on dry skin," says Johnson. Instead, use layers of moisture like Stila Hydrating Primer ($34) and Clé de Peau Beauté Cream Foundation ($118), which contains hyaluronic acid.
