Hi sahmisme, it does sound like patches of sun damage. What works for me is vit C+E+ferulic serum and retinol to remodel the skin. It takes time, so if you are very impatient, you might want to treat yourself to a dermatologist appt for a quick fix - laser, dermabrasion, whatever.
Everybody has her favorite concealer, but what I like for the crepey skin underneath is MATIS eyes & lips treatment mask extreme comfort. I apply a thin layer under makeup/concealer and reapply all day long to keep the dreaded lines away. I have a tube in my purse, and one at home. It works on lips and the upper lip lines too. Also can be used as a mask for more intense moisturizing. It's around $48 for a 0.68fl oz/20 ml tube, so it's pricey, but worth it.
Another trick I learned is to draw a line with your concealer from the outer corner of your nose to the outer corner of your eye, on a slant. Then blend the concealer well up & in toward your inner eye corner. Blend the concealer well out also. This fills in the sunken area between the nose and the eye and lifts the area. Make sure your concealer isn't too light or you will end up looking like the reverse raccoon, which just makes you look tired.
HTH! =) |

We work so hard to get a "glow" to our skin that once I feel I'm in a good place I don't want to cover it up except with a sunscreen. |

Actually I think more women are going to mineral makeup and I do see it's advantages...but I can't achieve the same dewy look that I can with liquid foundation (which is shear and using brush). With mineral makeup I can look fine inside with my bathroom mirror but when I get outside and take a look I see the minerals makeup too much. |
