It’s well-known that TikTok offers a wealth of clever beauty tricks, makeup advice, and skincare wisdom for mature beauties. In a helpful TikTok video, makeup artist and creator Daniel Sandler (@danielsandlermakeup) shared techniques to conceal crow’s feet and brighten the eye area without accentuating fine lines and wrinkles.
At the beginning of his video, Sandler, 59, replied to a follower who asked him to share “tips for crow’s feet” and to not let foundation “make them look worse.” As his video began, the makeup artist replied: “You want some tips about how to disguise [fine lines] and make the eye area look brighter, but not enhance the fine lines and the crow’s feet around the eyes? Not a problem.” He then 7 shared tips and suggestions.
7 Tips For 'Disguising' Fine Lines And Crow's Feet With Foundation And Concealer, According To An Expert
1. Use A 'Less Is More' Approach With Foundation
Sandler's first recommendation is to "go easy on the amount of product that you apply when it comes to foundation and concealer."
2. Choose A Light-Reflecting Concealer
Secondly, he advised using "light reflecting concealers on those areas" and not choosing anything "too glittery."
3. Skip Glittery Eye Products
Glitter in your eye makeup products, he stressed, will "actually enhance fine lines" and "look quite old fashioned actually."
4. Opt For A Blurring Primer
Before applying any eye makeup at all, Sandler said to go for a primer designed "to illuminate and disguise" fine lines and "brighten the whole area under the eye, including crow's feet. He recommended his brand's Blossom Colour Beauty Glow Multi-Tasking Primer (above).
5. Add A Blotting Powder
After you've applied the primer "under your makeup or you mix it with your foundation or your concealer," Sandler said to then add a powder over it. He used his brand's Invisible Veil Blotting Powder. "It will not enhance fine lines and wrinkles, crow's feet, whatever you want to call them," he noted.
6. Don't Apply 'Too Much Skincare' Under Your Makeup
Another piece of advice Sandler offered to prevent makeup from settling into fine lines is to use a minimal amount of skincare products beneath your makeup.
"What will happen is it may feel fantastic at the time, your skin will feel emollient that you've applied moisturizer, serums, SPF, but go easy," he shared. The artist added that "too much of it will sit on the surface of the skin and it will start eating away at your makeup throughout the day," and "it will start going into those lines."

7. Consistently Blend Creasing Makeup With A Concealer Brush Throughout The Day
What you can do if your makeup is "going into your lines" is to get "a clean cotton bud or a concealer brush," Sandler advised.
The Bottom Line
He concluded: "you literally just blend away anything that's gone into a crease, tap it out with your finger to blend, and then go back with a little bit of my press powder." Sounds worth a try to us!
