In a beauty rut? Does the foundation that you religiously applied on your face 5+ years ago, no longer looks as good? There’s a reason behind that called age. As we mature, our skin (texture and all) decides to change on us. It’s the way of life, no matter how many youth-inducing products we ingest. The best thing to do is to embrace age. Once you do that, the next thing you need to do is to change up your foundation!
Here are my top 5 foundations for ageless beauty:
- IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream – this is my favorite, as it provides a natural coverage that makes your skin look like it’s glowing from within. It has anti-aging serum as well as other ingredients to keep wrinkles somewhat hidden (even if it’s just for the moment).
- MAC Face and Body – top favorite of mua’s, this is a lightweight formula that goes a long way. It can be layered for more coverage.
- Face Atelier Ultra Foundation Pro – another favorite of my peers, this foundation is perfect for those with dry skin caused by age or environmental factors (I’m looking at you, sun-damaged skin!)
- Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Foundation – comes in great packaging and provides great full coverage without caking up the skin. Mid-range in price.
- L’oreal True Match Super-Blendable Makeup – for those who would rather get a drug store brand, this is reputable with great results.
The key to ageless beauty is silicone-based products. This allows for blurring and moisture, the 2 key ingredients for age. One type of foundation to avoid for mature skin, unless you’re dealing with a master mua, is airbrush s/b. Airbrush tends to settle into lines and can make them appear deeper than they are.
As you get older, be good to your skin. Embrace it. Makeup is not complicated.
