20 Best Foundation For Aging Skin Over 50 Reviews (2023 Updated)

The Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Foundation, I am pretty pleased with it. I have worn it twice now yesterday and today, yesterday I applied with a brush and today I applied with a damp beauty blender and I 100% prefer the beauty blender method.

Yesterday’s application with the brush after only about 4 hours of wear it was starting to cake around my forehead, my undereye, and and oddly on my cheeks closer back toward my ears and it also looked patchy in spots even though when I first applied it, it looked amazing and was blended perfectly.

I was really disappointed but decided to give it another try before sending it back and what a difference the beauty blender made!! Today it looks absolutely FLAWLESS and smooth, the pictures attached I made sure was 4 hours after application so that I can test properly, and in combination with the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Finish powder and the Flawless setting spray my makeup has not budged! I am so glad that it ended up looking better with the beauty blender because the foundation itself sits so nicely on the skin, although it is not the lightest foundation I have worn (Nars Natural Radiant Longwear foundation takes that prize in my opinion) it still feels quite nice! I would say this is more toward full coverage but not quite full full coverage (I hope that makes sense) but it is definitely buildable so I am pretty sure that you can achieve the coverage you desire with this foundation! I do have pretty dark circles under my eye and some redness on my cheeks and on my nose and as you can see in the pictures everything is pretty well covered up! Overall I think it is a solid foundation however like I mentioned the application with a brush is a no go and although I do have foundations that I like better this is a solid choice to have in rotation.

The shade that I bought in this one is the 4 Neutral however compared to the Beautiful Skin foundation that I have in the same shade this one almost seems a tad bit darker so if you are kind of an in between shade maybe go lighter instead of darker, you can always darken up a bit with contour and/or bronzer!.

I had heard some great reviews about this flawless foundation so luckily I asked for a Sample pot first. I said to the young lady that I have older skin and discussed with her how careful older women need to be as some foundations actually end up making your lines under the eyes and making your pores look worse, I even joked how all these products are made for young under 30 year olds that have perfect skin and barely a wrinkle so off course it probably looks amazing on them but what about us mature skinned women.

Well unfortunately this foundation is not made for mature skin at all. I am 54 years old but my skin isn’t terribly wrinkly or bad at all for my age however this foundation went on terribly and was so drying and cakey on my skin and made my pores look huge.

when I tried to smooth the pores or smooth the foundation out of the lines it was forming under my eyes immediately, it just wiped off and into bally messes leaving patches and cakiness everywhere. Once applied you cannot try and smooth it as it doesn’t move or smooth and I applied this with a sponge over my normal skincare products.

I also dont use any concealer so the only product on my face over moisturiser was the foundation. I have to admit the results were completely the opposite of what I had hoped and read about and tbh looked awful.

I still have it on now 4 hours later and my skin looks patchy, pore filled and caking under my eyes and has actually aged me more. Perhaps I’ll try a more “dewy” formula of her products as this isn’t suitable.

As I said probably amazing on young fresh faces who can apply copious amounts of concealer and foundation onto their skin and still look great but certainly not good for older skin.

I bought this product after asking a Mecca consultant for a colour match of a foundation that looks natural, doesn’t cake, and preferably has SPF. I also mentioned being interested in Nars and Too Faced.

Unexpectedly, this foundation was recommended, though I actually picked one colour lighter than recommended as it was clearly way too dark for my complexion. The colour I went with is a great match, but that’s about the best of it.

The product is thick and dries/oxidises on the skin quite quickly, so it’s quite hard to blend. I have tried multiple prepping products from different moisturisers, serums, and primers to make the foundation blend better and have had varying results.

I have even tried mixing moisturiser with the foundation before applying. None of the results have been as good as my much less expensive BigW foundation. From the start of application it is patchy on my forehead and worsens with time, it also makes my pores really noticeable on my cheeks.

My skin has also been breaking out, which I have never had with any previous foundation. I used to be able to apply my daily makeup quite quickly too, and this product with all the extra effort and added products to try to get a good result has doubled how long it takes.

I plan to for a credit and get other brand samples before buying another foundation. Hopefully that way I can find what I actually want and need, rather than what I am told I should get.

There are a lot of wonderful things about this foundation: 1) It is definitely full coverage 2) Easy to apply 3) Doesn’t cause break outs 4) Matches my skin tone perfectly However, there are a few things keeping me from loving it: 1) It looks cakey and dry on my skin.

Even though I have super oily skin, it still somehow manages to look dry and patchy in some areas (even though those spots still end up being oily). 2) It doesn’t have the stay power I was hoping it would have.

It stays pretty well for the first 6 hours but then starts to wear off. It seems to stay put longer on cooler, less active days so it’s probably because of my oiliness. 3) It doesn’t mattify as well as I would have liked.

Like I said above, it definitely looks dry and patchy on the skin in areas, but my oily skin still shines through. However, some areas stay nicely matte. I have tried wearing it with and without foundation, but I don’t see any differences between the application, wearability, stay power, and patchiness.

Overall, I like enough to keep it and am going to keep experimenting with it to see if I can overcome the small issues. It is definitely better than most foundations I’ve tried. Especially for acne prone skin.

Wow. That’s all I can say. Pros- – wide color range with pictures distinctly labeled warm , cool, neutral, making it very easy to find your perfect color – unlike most long wearing foundations, this doesn’t look chalky, thick, or mask like.

It ends up looking like skin not like a thick layer of makeup applied to your face. -I have combination skin that’s very easily dried out and then gets flaky and oily, I bought a dewy setting spray from Walgreens to give this a nice satin finish.

If your skin is normal you will probably get the satin finish from this alone. Ten years ago I tried the bare minerals powder and a tube lipstick that was shown. I did not care for the lipstick, it went on with an uneven texture, didn’t have a nice finish, and didn’t wear well.

The powder foundation was much too yellow and didn’t look nice on my combination skin that’s often much to dry for anything other than a cream. You guys have really stepped it up with bare pro and the mineral liquid lipstick! Blown away by the color selection you offer that includes everyone.

It is so frustrating when a brand does not even make a color that works for you. I am fair and cool, there’s a lack of these shades in the market. The shade shell matched perfect.

The circumstances for when I first got this foundation we’re totally a coincidence. I had gotten a BareMinerals gift of another one of my favorite products in a shade that was too dark. Prom was also coming up and I needed a foundation that would keep me matte and look good in pictures.

So I went to the BareMinerals store and asked if they had any matte foundations, to which I discovered this. Never have I loved a foundation more. I have combo oily skin and this keeps me so so matte, but with a perfectly natural finish.

The way my skin looks in this is like a “your skin but better” product. My oily mother normally sticks to the products she’s used for years, but the minute she tried this we both had to run out and buy it for our summer and winter shades.

It’s AMAZING!! I couldn’t even understand why it didn’t have all 5 stars, but I’m assuming that it is probably a better foundation for oily skin (like most matte foundations are). I use this on top of the Combo Control Milky Face Primer also by BareMinerals, and the compliments for perfect skin don’t stop coming (and I have some major acne scarring, so I’m far from perfect😭).

I love the age rewind concealer and seen this after looking for a good powder foundation. it is a really creamy, finely milled powder. I don’t think it’s really pigmented but you get enough coverage to even everything out and in my opinion it really does blur.

I use a flat top Kabuki brush to buff it in, slowly building up layers. I take product and tap it in where I need more coverage with a concealer brush. I find I get the most coverage this way. it’s like your skin but better.

gives you a nice natural finish and doesn’t look cakey if you slowly buff and build. will be trying this as a setting powder for liquid since it blurs. it also doesn’t make me breakout!.

If your goal is to accentuate every pore, line or imperfection on your skin, whilst making you look as old as a Roman artifact, then this would be the foundation to use. It is the worst powder foundation I’ve ever had the misfortune of buying/trying.

I can’t believe this is targeted towards aging skin, (which tends to be on the drier end of the spectrum) since it’s anything but creamy and/or hydrating in texture. I may as well have covered my entire face in chalk and I would have looked better than I did after using this awful foundation.

On the bright side, I can incorporate this makeup look into my Halloween costume and scare away the neighborhood kids.

Lightest shade, Ivory. You MUST prep the skin with moisturizer, sunscreen and either CT Hollywood Flawless Filter or the Maybeline knockoff or a dewy primer or sunscreen. Buff in with a brush after applying concealer where needed.

Use powder bronzer, blush and highlight and a setting spray. It looked amazing on my 48 year old dry skin and lasted all day. Not powdery, didn’t settle in lines, let’s your skin peek through (is light coverage).

I really love it.

So, influenster wouldn’t let me choose the correct shade to review. But anyway, I really wanted to love this foundation!!! And I do really love the formula, the natural skin finish, etc. BUT it oxidizes soooo bad.

Not only that, but I’ve only been able to find it online. And even if it were in store I’d still have this issue. It is so hard to even find your correct shade in the first place unless you have a store with testers, which I don’t.

Anyway, Loreal has no description for each shade which would make it a lot easier to find your shade if they did! You only know what is gold vs pink because of some of the names of the shades. Can’t figure out which are neutral, unless it’s the ones that say natural in the shade name.

Either way, it’s super hard to find a shade due to the lack of descriptions, but also because, once again, the foundation oxidizes like crazy! It’s unfortunate because this could’ve and would’ve been a wonderful foundation if not for those 2 inconveniences.

😞 I may keep trying to find a shade match but I’m not sure. I did give the 2 stars based solely on the formula of the foundation.

I bought this foundation on a whim and I absolutely love it. It makes my dry/combination skin look fresh and dewy. The first time I used it, I was surprised by the compliments I received. The reason I generally steer away from moisture-rich foundations is because they tend to get on my hands when I touch my face.

Then, I touch my steering wheel or a piece of paper and there’s foundation colored finger prints 😩. I have not had any issue with this foundation. The only concern I have is that I like a bit lower SPF.

This is SPF 50, and I literally do not get even the slightest bit of color after being in the sun. I understand that it is better for my skin, but sometimes I like to get a bit of a natural glow. With that being said, I’ll keep buying this regardless of the SPF.

My biggest fear is that they’ll discontinue it, as it can already be difficult to find in stores.

Really lovely foundation! One of the only ones I can apply quickly with just my fingers vs needing a sponge to blend. I have dry skin, and redness in my cheeks from rosacea. The coverage is light to medium, and it’s definitely hydrating.

I do a full skincare routine underneath and don’t have issues with pilling or anything. I usually set lightly with powder, just so it’s not sticky feeling. I love the 50 spf, although I still apply separate spf underneath since I prefer a light layer of foundation.

Because of the more liquid consistency, if I put too much on it does settle into lines, but I’ve found if I use less I still get the coverage I want and it doesn’t do that.

I love this foundation, I have acne prone combination skin, I get dry spots on my forehead and oily throughout my t zone and so so many products break me out and I struggle to find a foundation that works with dry spots as well as my oily zones.

This does beautifully, I use a real techniques sponge or a beauty blender and it looks gorgeous, it’s not full coverage it’s more of a light to medium coverage but the way it looks on the skin is amazing and the best part is it doesn’t break me out.

I use to love the Estée Lauder double wear foundation but I recently went back to it and it broke me out so badly and every time I go to attempt to try it it breaks me out again, same with my charlotte tilbury airbrush foundation which is beautiful but I break out horribly from it.

This works pretty well with a mask on considering I wear one 8 hour a day, it’s not perfect there is some transfer but it’s such a graceful fade that it works. I don’t wear primer but I do set it with a translucent setting powder either the Laura mercier or the honest beauty setting powder and sometimes a spritz of the all nighter setting spray and it looks stunning throughout the day.

I usually only set it with powder but if I want extra longevity from it I use a setting spray. On occasion I use a primer which is my holy grail guerlain primer (the one with the gold flecks) and it will stay put for 12 hours.

I still use my tarts shape tape with it and it blends beautifully together. I highly recommend this if you struggle with acne prone skin, sensitive skin or are oily. HOWEVER, if you are very dry this might not work well for you, back in January when it was cold and dry in the northern Midwest I had some dry patches that it would occasionally cling too so if you’re very dry this might not work well but if you’re oily this should be fine.

Can’t believe how natural this flaw covering foundation looks. Finding a foundation worth wearing has always been a seemingly impossible task. I’m light to light-medium and find most shades are way too yellow, pink or peach/orange.

Neutral never really is. And in the rare occurrence that a color is just right, it turns orange (oxidizes) on me within an hour. Also feel that obvious foundation, no matter how even and pretty the color, is unattractive and worse than nothing.

I’ve tried most every mid rage to exorbitantly pricy foundation offered in the last 20 years and only found one that worked for me before this – IT’s O2. The light shade was perfect, the formula didn’t oxidize, and it gave a “my skin but better” look.

As that was discontinued years ago and the other IT formulas look like cakey orange messes on me, I didn’t expect much from this one. But it’s even better than O2 in that it covers better and still looks natural.

Like O2 it has a shade that matches well and doesn’t turn orange. Been wearing 31 medium-neutral, and will probably add a hint of 21. 5 or 22 light-neutral to lighten in winter. Typically wear it over Murad’s Invisiblur primer with SPF.

People think I’m 15 years younger than my ago so it’s not amplifying any flaws.

For some reason it isn’t giving me an option to add a pic so I’ll be detailed Much better shade range and consistency than the original cc cream. Not as thick and better options for us neutral-cool girls.

No one on these reviews ever mentions what color they are wearing so I felt compelled to do this review for that reason (come on ppl start stating your shade!!!!) so let me start by saying i am a pretty solid light medium neutral and the absolute perfect shade for me is medium cool!!! Perfect! I lean a little cooler than warm so I feel someone who is a solid cool will be fine in this.

I do have to be careful how much skincare I wear under this bc it can interact with the skincare in the foundation. It’s a beautiful foundation but it’s not going to get rid of texture or just “wow” you like some of these influencers make you think! I have very dry skin with pores fine lines and texture.

I do feel it does a good job on my pores but didn’t feel it did a ton for fine lines For reference im an nw25 in Mac. I can get by w nw22 and sometimes c3. 5 Wet n wild soft beige is a good match for me but runs a tad warm Lancome teint idole glow in 305 and can wear 330n as well.

I first purchased this while visiting my daughter during the summer. We were going camping and rafting and makeup just wasn’t a part of the packing list. I saw this and first thing I thought was “WoW ~ sunscreen, tinted moisturizer, AND retinol???” I honestly wasn’t expecting to love it but I was taken aback when I put it on with just my fingers and looked at my face.

This stuff completely evened out my skin tone, gave a nice amount of coverage and and I had a youthful glow (NOT glitter!). Even now, it’s my go-to makeup. If I need a bit more coverage I add a couple drops of my foundation and mix it on a palette and apply with a brush.

BUT THERE’S MORE! During COVID I’ve been getting lazy with my makeup. Wanted something in an easy-carry compact so I began my online search “compact makeup for mature skin. ” I ended up purchasing the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Compact makeup with spf 55.

Neutrogena has done it AGAIN! I applied this with my dry Beauty Blender (sponge) and once again shocked by my reflection. Perfect! For reference, I’m 53, have fine lines, some large pores, and hyperpigmentation from too much tanning in my 20’s-30’s and both of these just even it all out, does not cover it all, but definately blurs these issues.

I’ve used Too faced, It Cosmetics, Juice Beauty, Tarte. and I find myself reaching for my Neutrogena over any others. At this price point, if you’re even considering this product – BUY IT! I’m really glad I did.

I have pretty clear skin but I am 64 so I have some lines. I was using BB cream to make my skin look smooth and even but lately it hasn’t been blending well and was settling in some creases. I did some research and purchased this product (Light to neutral 30) and one other which (has not arrived yet) to test them both.

So far I have been very happy with Neutragena. It depenses soft and creamy, blends well, makes my skin even, and does not settle at all in any lines. It is pretty scentless and has not been irritatiing.

It also has sunscreen so that is a plus. If you are looking for very light coverage, this is a great option. If you want great coverage, this is probably too light in texture.

First of all – this is VERY VERY sheer! And that’s what I LOVE about it! I don’t like makeup and never wear it unless absolutely necessary. However, I’m getting to that age and where all the years of working night shifts are starting to show.

This is a great way to give just a little bit of cover for your slight imperfections. This is NOT going to cover a zit, it will not erase dark circles, it will, give you a nice subtle glow. Now let’s talk about the color – it’s a touch on the dark side so if you are torn between two shades, I would go with the lighter one.

I received this in the Classic Ivory shade after taking a best guess to match my shade and it has not disappointed at all! Since the start of the Covid 19 Pandemic I had been working from home, then on maternity leave and have yet to return to the workforce so my makeup use drastically declined and I had not purchased anything new in a long time but I have definitely found my new go to! It was so quick and seamless to apply after my skincare, the application was incredibly smooth and the colour matched perfectly.

I feel like I could have even not added a setting powder but I did out of habit but quickly realised I didn’t use concealer, which is generally need for my mum eye bags and fine lines, but they were nowhere to be seen.

I am so impressed with this product and will definitely be using this as a part of my daily routine as it was as quick as putting moisturiser on, I can skip the concealer and will be able to apply this so easily with an active toddler – something which previously was not an easy feat.

I got the smoothest application with my usual routine of using a beauty blender dampened with prep and prime spray and could not believe my eyes when I saw how smooth, flawless and fast this process was! I had found myself in an extremely basic skincare routine since having my daughter and have only done my makeup a handful of times, which was a huge leap out of my comfort zone and is still something that plays in the back of my head when I am out with her with no makeup – I am definitely all for natural looks and loving the skin you are in, nit it was a hard habit to break and insecurity to overcome, so I am genuinely so happy to have found a product that I can incorporate into my routine so effortlessly.

This product not only was a dream to apply, but it feels weightless and so comfortable, like I am not wearing anything, yet it is giving me that boost I need to get out and enjoy myself without worrying about the fine lines that are starting to make an appearance or the underlying redness in my face and concerning myself that I look like a guy mess Mama instead of one who’s in control! This product lasted the day, lasted my toddler, and removed clean and easily not leaving my skin feel worn out or dry after a day of makeup.

There is no way I’d not recommend this product to everyone I know who is chasing the foundation that not only applies well but lasts the day, doesn’t feel harsh on their skin and meets all the benefits that the product offers – and blows them out of the water.

I have spent a lot of money on a range of foundations to find something so good and I can say with all honestly, this has surpassed any expectations and will quite easily be a part of my new daily routine as a product I know I can trust to work well for me.

What an absolute pleasure to be given the chance to try the Covergirl Simply Ageless 3-in-1 foundation for Beauty Crew. This is my first ever Covergirl foundation that I have tried so it was an exciting one to start my journey into the Covergirl brand.

When being offered the chance to try this foundation we were asked which colour we would like to trial. I always find this part of a makeup trial the hardest. Choosing a colour off a website is difficult and I am always apprehensive that I will completely choose the wrong colour.

I was absolutely thrilled when the 220 Creamy Natural colour I chose was a perfect match! This foundation Is a Covergirl + Olay product and I absolutely LOVE the addition of the hyaluronic complex and Vitamin C that is infused in this product.

The foundation is a medium coverage which is easily buildable. I have applied with my fingers, and a dense foundation brush, and I enjoyed both applications. I feel that I have a fuller coverage if I apply with my Sigma foundation brush but if I am in a rush, finger application is great.

If you are sensitive to fragrance this foundation may not be the best for you as it does have quite an obvious fragrance. I was super impressed with how this foundation worked over my skincare, and every challenge I subjected it to it performed extremely well.

I had no issues with pilling and my foundation looked great at the end of the day regardless as to whether I had used a makeup primer or not. I am already planning my makeup and skincare travel options for a trip to Europe next year and this is seriously on the list due to its great performance and that it is in a plastic pump pack.

No issues with the chance of a smashed foundation bottle and it is much lighter to pack aswell. Thank you for the chance to discover this beautiful Covergirl product. It may be my first, but it will definitely not be my last!.

I received this as a sample and ordered the natural beige shade as I have fairish colored skin. When using this I still applied my normal moisturizer with spf before applying. I applied using a brush and only had to use a little bit as it spread quite a lot.

A sponge would soak this foundation up too much as it is quite thin and you wouldn’t get the same coverage. The natural beige color has got a pinkish tint to it. For the first couple of days I used a powder over the top as I was worried it wouldn’t last all day being so thin, however on the third day I went without the powder and it lasted the full working day.

I love how little I need to use, I definitely dislike using a foundation which feels caked on. This glides on with my brush easily, smoothly and lightly just like a moisturizer. The pinkish tint I wasn’t used to as an overall color on my face, but after a couple of days I enjoyed the color it brought to my face which I could change in areas with some different colored blushes.

Being an older woman this foundation definitely smoothed out creases around my eyes, chin and nose area. It felt good applying this foundation and didn’t give me that dry and claggy feeling on my skin.

To remove this in the evening took little effort and after a few days of use my skin still felt fresh and not dry from use. The size of the bottle it comes in is small and is a pump style bottle. Don’t underestimate the size as when using this foundation you will only use a small amount each time which will see this bottle last for a very long time.

This coincides with the retail price which is very reasonable for what you get. It really is a bargain for the combination of what is included. Olay has been around for a long time and I have used Olay products before which worked well with my skin so having this rolled into a foundation is definitely an added bonus for our skin.

The firmness part of this foundation I haven’t really felt this early on, but with the elements of this foundation I may notice this after using it for a prolonged period rather than a short time of a week.

Overall the look of this foundation and how it feels on my skin has already shown some positives. The lightness of it is probably my favourite thing about this product. It’s hard to find a great foundation that works for a fair skinned person and one who is in her mid fourties.

This has made me feel younger and feel like I’m not wearing much makeup. This foundation is definitely a keeper for me and an added bonus is the fragrance it has when you put it on. It’s very fresh. For an older woman this is definitely a foundation I will be continuing to use.

I’ve been wearing Make Up Forever HD foundation for over 12 years and they recently changed the formula which is nothing similar to the original. The color match was also off and leaned on the orange side and the finish was matte.

I was sooooooooooooooooo sad and have been stressed out for literally a month trying to find something similar in foundation color and finish. I tried Lancôme Tiente Idol, Nars Light Reflecting, the new Make Up Forever, Make Up Forever Reboot, Dior Glow Foundation and I did not like any of those foundations as the color match was never right and the finish wasn’t as “naturally radiant” as I liked.

UNTIL, I stumbled on this foundation!!!!WOWWWWWWWWWWW just wowwwwwwww!! This is exactly what I was looking for. Perfect radiant skin like finish that definitely had medium to full FULL coverage. I wore this foundation for over 12 hours and I wore it to the gym and at the end of my day, it still looks freshly applied and looks beautiful on the skin.

It literally melts with your skin and feels light as air. If you are looking for a long wearing radiant skin like foundation, look no further. THIS IS THE ONE FOUNDATION YOU MUST TRY!!!!! It does rub off a little when you are sweating which I don’t kind, it still looks beautiful when you are sweating as does not streak or cake whatsoever.

I am in LOVE!! Thank you SHISEIDO. FYI, I have minor post acne marks and large pores and this foundation covered it beautifully.

Just discovered this foundation from seeing a recommendation from Taylor Wynn’s video last year, but unfortunately couldn’t get my shade at Sephora because it’s sold out. Kinda scared that this foundation is on sale and sold out so much everywhere, it seems like it’s getting discontinued? I had to get my shade at another retailer, but oh my goodness.

Beautiful foundation, even in the heat of Houston summer at its peak now. Even 1st foundation (especially a radiant one), I feel like powdering on top would ruin the beauty of its work. I’m combo dry, definitely more dry in winter, but pretty oily now with rare dry spots.

I still use mattifying primers underneath (tatcha liquid silk and supergoop unseen spf), and just 1. 5 pumps is enough to cover my entire face. Super high coverage even with a damp sponge. Shade 310 silk matches my body, but not my neck entirely, still great for a summer shade, just needs a shade down maybe.

Been wearing it for a couple days, and it doesn’t get crazy oily after 6-8 hrs, and looks pretty fresh even after. Love this so much, so much more than the original synchro foundation. Hopefully it’s not getting discontinued!!!.

This is one of the best foundations I’ve ever tried. It is very lightweight and has natural radiant finish and medium coverage that can easily be build up to full without looking caking. It does not settle into fine lines or creases.

It makes my skin feel hydrated, blurs pores, and it also gives me some subtle lifting aspect. I have combination, acne-prone skin and this foundation does not make my skin feel oily or cause me any break outs.

It is easy to blend and apply. One pump is just enough to cover my whole face, so I think this bottle will last me a long time. When the light reflects into the bottle I can see some subtle sparkling particles within the foundation.

But these particles disappear when applying the foundation to skin. They are not noticeable on skin at all. I bought the shade 160 (shell) which is a perfect match for my skin tone (for comparison purposes, I am MAC Fix Fluid Studio NC18, Dior Forever Matte 1W, Guerlain L’essentiel 2N, Essence Pretty Natural 70).

I definitely recommend this foundation for people with dry to combination skin.

I love this product. I’ve tried many foundations and feel confident to be able to leave this honest review, let me tell you. I often times found myself with a foundation that was to heavy, or left me looking like a clown , because it was so obvious that I was wearing it due to caked on appearance despite my application being a light one.

Also have you ever worn foundation and it make you feel sweaty as in your skin couldn’t breathe? Those are the worst! This one does NONE of these things! I couldn’t even feel it once I applied it. It gave me wonderful coverage and natural appearance.

Felt lightweight, Blended beautifully, Easily glides on with sponge, brush or fingers. Best part is that a little goes a long way. I can’t even come up with one negative about it. Color matching was spot on for me as well.

I looked online and bought it without ever trying it out first and it was a perfect match. I’m not sure if it is still around forty dollars or not, however if so, it’s worth it. In this case you do get what you pay for.

I have been using Lančome products for decades and have always enjoyed the quality. I still have three Lančome makeup brushes which I bought over 20 years ago and they are like new, though I wash them twice per week! The color range of foundations they offer is spectacular, to begin with.

I personally chose this product because I have ridiculously dry skin which needs every bit of help it can get in the moisture department, coupled with the fact that I’m a pink-ish ivory (most manufacturers only have a yellow-to-beige tinted ivory).

I applied it-accidentally-without using a primer beforehand, and I discovered that I liked it even more! It feels silky and blends well, and true to its claims: it ACTUALLY LIFTS. The more you use it, the more the effect.

It gives a natural dewy look, not overworked and weird looking. It looks so nice that it doesn’t need powder, so if you’re 50+ you don’t have to worry about powder accentuating wrinkles. If you allow the application to dry, you can reapply in areas such as under the eyes (rather than have the deer in headlights look from a too-light concealer), and the coverage is wonderful, and again-NATURAL.

I feel this is key, and it’s so understated. “When you want to look like you with the Insta filter on!”.

Why is no one talking about this foundation? I bought this by mistake. meant to get Teinte Idole but somehow put this one in my basket LOL – didn’t realize what I had done until I wore this for a few days.

I love it! I’m 45 and have combo skin – oily forehead and nose, dryer cheeks and chin. I’ve tried so many other prestige foundations and this one doesn’t cling to my dry patches, blends nicely, provides medium coverage with a natural finish, doesn’t settle into fine lines and keeps my skin looking like skin (not cakey).

Evens out my skin tone, fades my pink blotches and feels weightless. AND HAS SPF! Love the pump, too. Very impressed with this foundation and so glad I accidentally purchased it! The price is a bit steep, but willing to pay it for the results.

I have pink undertones in my fair skin and shade 110 is perfect for me. I apply about 3 pumps with a beauty blender and tap on a little dab on blemishes for more coverage instead of concealer. Lasts a solid 8-10 hours for me.

Very happy with this foundation and wish it would get more attention from influencers. had no idea this even existed! Just give it a try!.

I am 39 and a few months from 40. This year fine lines showed up (and I am religious on skincare) and my under eyes got dryer or something because almost everything makes them crease. Needless to say, my favorite ride or die foundations stopped looking good on me.

Then I gave this one a try. It’s so different than any other foundation I’ve tried. It light but coverage , moisturizing but doesn’t slide off your skin. I see even women my moms age looking good in this one.

I apply with a brush and then use a beauty blender to press it in and my face looks air brushed. My fine lines less noticeable. All and all – this is my new one and only ride or die and I notice you can not find a lot of them at Ulta which scares me.

Please never ever stop selling this. Women my age and older need a good foundation too. And trust me- I’ve tried all the other ones – they all are awful on aging skin.

I have been looking for a new foundation that would work on mature, dry skin. Something that would look like skin but still give up to medium coverage. I saw a YouTube video that mentioned this one. The price point is great and so many shades to choose from.

I used the shade finder and it found me a perfect match for my skin. One complaint. the color swatches it showed me were not very accurate. I found them to be darker than they should be. I went by the written description.

This foundation is lovely. It glides over my pores and fine lines. It feels weightless to me. It works beautifully on dry skin but it’s not heavy with moisturizing ingredients. No fragrance. It dries nicely but I always lightly powder certain areas to help any foundation set.

I haven’t seen any oxidation in the color. I find it wears all day without added primer or setting spray under normal conditions. Hot, humid weather creatures issues for any makeup so use whatever you like to help it along.

I am extremely pleased and impressed. Good Job, Sephora!.

It leaves a dewy finish on my skin that is reminiscent of a BB or CC cream but has better coverage and staying power. I hate makeup brushes and it is easy to apply and build with your hands. This is one of the reasons I have preferred CC creams in the past so I’m glad to have found a liquid foundation that is similar in this respect.

I also have neutral undertones in my skin which usually makes shade matching with foundation frustrating and annoying. To the point that I haven’t purchased foundation since my early twenties! Natural beige was nearly the perfect shade for my skin.

It didn’t wash me out like cool leaning shades and it didn’t turn me orange like warm leaning shades. It seems to be a good balance for someone with neutral skin. Better than a lot of the high end stuff I’ve tried in the past.

The coverage is not caky or too thick.

This foundation is absolutely amazing, and is my go-to holy grail for every event from work meetings through to special occasion evenings. It is so light and creamy to apply, and blends so effortlessly with both a brush or a sponge.

I’ve used this with all kinds of primers and it is consistently easy to layer with a variety of skincare and makeup items. It leaves a soft healthy glow and dries down to a natural satin finish, with no transfer.

The wear time is at least 10 hours and along with still looking fresh it gives all day hydration. It doesn’t crease into fine lines or wrinkles and provides a soft blurring and evens skintone. Also reduces the appearance of my dark circles and provides a medium buildable coverage to hide redness and spots, whilst still looking like skin.

The colour match is also spot on for me, and I’ve even noticed my skin improving through regular wear.

Okay! Seriously! Nobody that I have seen has been talking about Almay products. This foundation is Gorgeous! But this particular one is probably not for the faint of heart. This foundation comes out White.

I know. But Trust me, you will Love it. It blends in with your own skin tone, once you pick your shade, and it does give a medium to full coverage. On me it’s totally full coverage. It might scare you but just keep blending, just keep blending!! 😆.

Yeah, it’s absolutely worth the try! It’s. Light weight not heavy at all. This doesn’t have any SPF in it so do use sunscreen. â ¤ï¸ â ¤ï¸ â ¤ï¸ â ¤ï¸ It’s another great – your skin but better as well!!.

Most underrated foundation EVER! This stuff is amazing. Blends so well. Matches perfect. And holds up well through the day. Medium coverage. But buildable. Tried it out with 2 other friends with different skin tones and one bottle matched all 3 of us.

I don’t understand the VooDoo behind this but I love it. I’ve since purchased many other Almay products. (No filter on photo. This is before concealer and before setting. Looks like my skin.

This foundation blends into your skin and doesn’t look like your wearing anything but has amazing coverage and lasts all day! I have oily skin so this stuff is perfect for my skin. Easy to blend, looks perfect and not cakey like foundations can make you look.

Just amazed how perfect this foundation is! It also doesn’t cling to your fine lines which is also amazing. Please don’t change a thing with this foundation Almay and me and my mom will continue to buy it for as long as we are breathing!!!!!!.

This product is the one It Cosmetic that is a DAILY MUST HAVE for me. I have tried every item It makes nearly and all the lines of cosmetics on qvc and also in high end cosmetic stores. For me, this lasts from morning to night,no matter what I do.

It just leaves me looking finished, not caked or covered, just a lovely medium coverage that blurs every imperfection and covers what flaws needed. I have normal to dry skin and I do have to use Dr. Denese HYDROSHIELD SERUM daily (a cannot live without product for antiaging and moisture retention) as soon as I get out of shower, then a few drops of Josie Maran Argan oil or Argan Milk drops.

The only other thing I use is this wonderful foundation and then blush and a light dusting of It Cosmetics powder or Laura Geller baked powder to set it. I do not have time for fussy overdone makeup look, but I do like to look a bit refined and finished and tony bit glowing, thanks to this product and the others.

I finish with Lancome Defincils mascara and go all day or night. I get the huge size in TAN. I am a medium caucasion skin tone with brown hair and I tan easily, although the tan seems a tad dark for me for winter, it blends beautifully and make sure to blend most at neckline and under chin and it makes one look sort of flawless and gives me a little oomph, as the lighter colors that match my skin tone perfectly tend to make me look washed out and older and I have tried and kept and used medium, med tan, neutral tan, and more but tan is best for me.

I hope this helps someone and BLESSINGS! HAPPY SHOPPING!!!!.

Finally! A foundation that works for older women!!! I have been using this for well over a year. I am 73 and have always had dry skin to the extent that I never had much acne as a teenager. Foundation usually looked horrid on me when young and even worse when older as it settled in my wrinkles and made me look really bad.

For years I didn’t use foundation due to this. Then I found tinted moisturizer but the coverage was poor. So I thought there MUST be a foundation that is oil based with good coverage and with this product I found it! I also have some sun damage on my skin and can build this to cover it!!! I am so thrilled to use this! It does go on better with the brush but as a creature of habit I usually use my fingers.

Try this if you have dry skin and/or wrinkles. You will LOVE it! It’s worth every penny.

I actually bought this by accident during one of Ulta’s sales because I thought it was the It’s extremely similar to the CC+ cream but you can tell a very small difference. I think the CC+ looks more like skin but this one is still amazing.

It has a buildable coverage that blends out nicely. I love that it offers skincare benefits and a high spf. The only downside is the packaging. I love a pump, so that’s nice, but it somehow gets really messy around the pump and lid.

I also hate that you can’t get to any product when you’re almost finished because it sits in the pump area. I have to cut it open and transfer it to a separate container because there’s at least 10 more uses left.

I have been looking for a tinted moisturiser/BB cream or CC cream to replace the BB cream i already use. I have used lots of foundation over the years, estee lauder, clarins, dior, bare minerals, and even the cheaper brands.

All foundations clogged my open pores! For me BB cream is a better solution. I have been using Clarins BB detox fluid, but the colours are orange and the SPF is only 25. I have been on the fence about IT cosmetics for a little while.

I have oily skin, open pores, and I am coming up for 30 so the lines are beginning to appear. I am so pleased I went into store to try this. I wanted the Matt but quickly realised the formula wasn’t right for me.

So I chose the original and I am not disappointed. Yes I still have to blot mid day. ( but I always have ) it is not full coverage, I can still see my freckles which I like. My advice is, if you want full coverage, buy a foundation! Not a CC cream.

I apply with a beauty blender and my skin looks great, after 7 hours it was wearing but still looked good! I really love this product, the high SPF, its good for my skin, it feels like I am wearing nothing and the colour match to light is perfect.

It gives me a natural smooth skin, I do not like thick heavy coverage that feels like my face is dirty! This feels so fresh all day! Even with oily skin.

I ordered the cc cream because it had more shades than the Bye Bye Foundation and it had travel size so I could try the different shades to try to get a closer match to my skin color than I did when I tried 2 different Bye Bye Foundations.

I really like this CC cream. It is a bit lighter than the Bye Bye Foundation in weight. Goes on smoothly and moisturizes my skin well. I have dryer skin especially around the eyes. Good coverage but I do wear the bye bye concealer with it.

Gives your skin a dewy appearance which I like. Does not go into lines, same as the Bye Bye Foundation and SPF 50. If I want a more air brushed finish I use the powdered Bye Bye Foundation I purchased on QVC.

It is SPF50 on its own, but when I use it alone I do not get the hormonal age spot coverage and my face looks dusty so I use it with either the foundation or the CC cream for perfect finish. I really like it.

I purchased 2 travel tubes different shades. First one seems perfect. Will purchase again and will probably stick with the travel size to keep it fresh :).

So I used the shade Pearl which is supposed to be fair with a rosy to neutral undertone, however I wouldn’t consider it fair at all but rather light or light to medium and it definitely isn’t rosy to neutral as far as undertone goes, it actually oxidizes quite a bit and leans a lot more yellow than anything.

That aside, I did like the fact that it is fragrance free, some products just use way too much fragrance so if you’re sensitive to that, then this could be a nice option. This supposedly has a natural “skin like” finish and is supposed to blur any texture and lines however I found it to be more matte than natural and it actually accentuated what little texture and slight early signs of aging I have, it didn’t blur anything for me.

I like light-medium and medium/buildable coverage and I prefer a light weightless feel when it comes to foundation and this felt very heavy almost mask like which I didn’t particularly care for. It is also very full coverage, you could cover up past mistakes with this stuff and it won’t budge so it definirely has some good staying power.

I really wanted to like it, I tried applying it multiple different ways and tried multiple different primers and I just couldn’t make it work the way I like my foundation to work for me. It just wasn’t for me.

I think if you are someone who really likes FULL coverage and doesn’t have any early signs of aging or much texture and likes a matte finish then this may work for you however if you don’t like matte or heavy feeling foundations or you have even the slightest signs of aging or fine lines you’ll probably want to pass on this one.

I would also recommend going into a store and getting matched there or see about getting samples in a couple different shades because it does oxidize and the shades aren’t quite as they are described.

My old foundation from a different brand had been discontinued. So I was on the hunt for a replacement! I went to my local Mall and tried absolutely loads over the course of a few weeks. I’d take a sample home and then try them half and half on my face to compare the look and also compare longevity.

I tried 11 brands in total, many very high end and expensive. Clarins won hands down! I am 34. I have the odd bit of acne and a few wrinkles around my eyes are starting to appear. I like light coverage as I wear very little make up, I like the barely there look day to day and slightly heavier coverage when going out.

Clarins fits the bill perfectly. I use their concealer too. I use 1 pump for light coverage, I apply with a foundation brush. Then I pop the concealer on my target areas. When heading out I use 2 pumps.

A little really goes a long way though! This foundation never sits in my wrinkles and as long as I use a primer underneath it lasts all day. It isn’t perfect like it started at the end of a long day but it still looks great! A lot of the others were completely gone by lunch time.

I am a total clarins convert.

I’ve used both Clarins BB fluid and the Compact Powder Foundation for many years, and recently tried the new Everlasting Foundation version – too thick a formula for me (sadly being 40 didn’t prevent a teen style chin breakout) so I was wary to try this Everlasting Youth Fluid! It’s GREAT! One small pump gives me a light to medium coverage – still see freckles, but odd bits of pigmentation disappear! Together with SOS primer in Universal or Rose, which help diffuse the light, I can say that those annoying little lines were almost invisible.

The foundation stayed well and was non-oily. My t-zone stayed matte for longer, and the foundation remained at the end of the day. The shade was well matched to my medium olive toned skin, 114 Cappuccino, not too pink and not orange at all.

I’m delighted with it!.

The most natural colour match I’ve had since my 20’s and I’m now in the last 90 days of my 30’s. At first I used this with a sturdy buki brush but it just moved the product around. Using a softer brush it glided onto the skin, didn’t sit in pores and gave even coverage.

I prepped my skin with all thing Clarins (face wash, double serum and moisturiser). I’ve been complimented on my skin ever since and it just looks like skin… no Casey coverage, it doesn’t sit in my pores and it blends into my neck.

Hoping Clarins make a bronzer that is Matt and not shines so I can complete my ‘glow’. This is undoubtedly the best foundation I’ve ever used. I wish it hadn’t taken me so long to find it!.
