It might be time to toss your powder, which tends to settle into–and accentuate–wrinkles. And you probably don’t need it after a certain age anyway, since older skin usually doesn’t produce the extra shine that decreases makeup’s staying power. If your complexion still looks slick, use sheer powder–its featherweight formula is less likely to fall into lines. Try Almay Nearly Naked Loose Powder ($12; drugstores), Lancme Color Ideal Pressed Powder ($31; lancome-usa.com), or Bobbi Brown Sheer Finish Loose Powder ($32; bobbibrowncosmetics.com). Lightly apply powder to oily areas, like your T-zone, using a velour puff.
