smile lines 🤢

[leihanaaa]

I have the worst smile lines ever and I’ll do anything at this point to make my makeup not settle in them lol. I’ve tried most of the foundations in Sephora and my go to so far is Huda Beauty. Before that I used Fenty and All Nighter. If anyone knows of a full coverage foundation that doesn’t settle I would Be very appreciative 😂

I have found really packing on powder in the smile line area (I struggle with this too, it’s my biggest insecurity when wearing makeup) helps. The only foundation ever I have tried that 80% of the time didn’t settle into my lines was Estée Lauder Double Wear, but that’s when I was combo/oily skin type also it has like the worst flash back ever so I have since stopped using it. Now even today when I set really well most of the time I’ll still have a smidge of settling but nothing near as if I were to not set the area. Also depends on what foundation or primer I use under. Any silicone based primer should help fill in pores and fine lines. Also skin care has helped a tonnnnn. Anything with glycolic acid will help promote new skin cel growth and help reduce fine lines and pores. Anti-aging products usual help target fine lines and such. Try that!

I would try baking for a few minutes with some loose powder. I don’t know the order in which you do your face but I usually do my brows while I let the powder sit and then dust it off after. It makes a huge difference for me!

Hey there! I've also struggled with smile lines in the past, so I know how frustrating it can be. May I ask what type of skin you have?

[leihanaaa]

Norma/combination type skin. I don’t normally get super oily around those areas or anything so I don’t know why it constantly happens 😞 I always bake my face also for like ten minutes before I wipe the powder off. But I find after like two hours I’m already applying more powder to blend the lines

You might actually be too dry in that area, then. When I struggled with smile lines, everyone said to use a matte foundation and set with powder, but then I discovered the problem was lack of moisture, not too much. Try using an illuminating primer in the area where you get lines and maybe switch to a more dewy foundation. You also might want to pick up a hydrating setting spray. Hope this helps!

This made the biggest difference for me. I get really oily on the top of my nose but around my nose and mouth I'm really dry. So when I use a primer for oily skin all the makeup around my mouth looks super dry, cakey and settles in my smile lines. I switched to just applying mattifying primer on my nose (NYX Angel Veil) and a hydrating primer around my mouth (smashbox hydrating primer).
