Inside Beauty

1. Counter wrinkling and loss of elasticity by using your anti-aging serum (Cle de Peau Beaute Intensive facial contour serum, $160; at neimanmarcus.com) as a primer.
2. Subtle shine helps bring out the contours of the face and conceal lines, so look for a featherweight liquid formula with light-diffusing particles (Clarins Extra Firming foundation, $42; at Saks Fifth Avenue). Use a flat synthetic brush (Lancome foundation brush No. 2, $34; at lancome-usa.com) to help it glide over skin.
3. Keep a powder compact (Burberry Sheer compact foundation, $55; at nordstrom.com) in your purse for quick touch-ups. Just remember to press it on; wiping will remove your makeup.
