I've just turned 40 & need to give myself a bit of an overhaul. I've started eating better & I do drink water.
I din't think my make up is doing much for me though & I don't know what I should change.
I currently use Clinique's Perfectly Real Foundation & have done for years. I like it as it is a medium coverage & just the right colour but recently I think it's starting to make my face look a bit chalky & my pores look bigger.
I use tescos concealer under eyes which is ok but it doesn't really cover my dark circles & I look permanently tired! Clinique mascara. I like the idea of lining my top lid but it always ends up a smudgey mess.
Cheeks I use either clinique cream blush or a powder blush, corally colour. I use clinique powder to set
It all.
Lipstick is whatever I have on me, i suit warm colours best.
I have been paying attention more to other women my age & so many of them look fresh skinned with a slightly tanned looking face without looking orange & just nice & groomed.
I want this healthy look but not sure how to achieve it. I can see how less is more as you get older but I do need some make up as otherwise I look knackered & ill!
I'd really appreciate any help or suggestions.

What make up do you use for a natural but groomed enough for work look?
