Age spots, also known as liver spots or sunspots, are small dark areas on the skin. They usually appear on the skin that has maximum exposure to the sun. These spots are commonly found in adults who are over 50. However, younger adults who spend a lot of time outdoors can also develop these.

Here are four useful makeup hacks to hide age spots effectively:

• Find the right color
  Gone are those days when trying out multiple layers of messy sheer foundation, powders, and primers was in trend. Now, the closer your makeup stays to your skin tone, the better it is. Also, you do not need multiple products to create that flawless, natural look. A full-coverage foundation with a creamy formula is all you will need to create the perfect look and hide age spots. While picking the right foundation for your skin tone, the most common challenge that one faces is choosing the right color. The color of the foundation should be such that it looks exactly like your skin tone. It should blend perfectly into the skin that has been exposed to the sun and has age spots. Pick a shade that is warmer instead of a lighter shade.
• Don’t skip the primer
  At times, some age spots can be rough in texture or bumpy. One of the best makeup hacks to hide age spots is to use some moisturizing primer. You can wear it over your daily moisturizer and serum so that it glides smoothly on your skin. If you want your makeup to stay for a longer time, you can apply the primer all over your face too.
• For extra coverage, dab some concealer on the age spots
  When you color-correct them, it becomes easier to hide those age spots. When the spots are dark, the best color to make them lighter is peach. Using a concealer brush or your fingertip, dab the concealer lightly on the spots and gently blend it into the edges. You must avoid swiping of the concealer on the spots. This will give uneven coverage to your makeup. It can also end up removing some layers of makeup from the skin. You must even know which shade of peach suits your skin the best. If your skin is light, go for pale peach. If your skin is medium skin tone, pick a medium peach. For darker skin tones, deep peach is the best.
• Less is more when it comes to foundations
  When it comes to wearing foundations, less is more. The ones you get nowadays are more concentrated than those you used to get back in the day. So, make sure you don’t use much. Ingredients such as humectants and silicones are essential to provide a smooth glide while applying the foundation. So, make sure you look for these. The easy blending of these foundations can help you blend them in your skin more easily.
