Question
I am 49 and have a problem with makeup settling into the lines under my eyes and making me look older.  I use a moisturizer day and night, but my makeup doesn't seem to look good at the end of the day!  I look 59!!

Answer
Hello Nancy,

Your moisturizer may not do such a great job in moisturizing and protecting your skin from aging and your make-up might not suit your skin either.
If you tell me what type of skin you have and if your under eye area is slightly blueish, I will be able to help you more precisely.
Meanwhile, make sure you have enough omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids in your diet and if not, take primrose or borage or black currant oil. Drink plenty of pure water and green tea.
Once you give me more details about your skin, I'll give you mask recipes to remedy the fine lines.

I look forward to reading you

I hope you find this answer helpful.
Have a beautiful day,
Take good care
