Calling all ladies over 40 summer makeup what the hell do we wear to still look good!

[firstmum45]

I'm 47 with def signs of ageing lines round mouth and eyes uneven skin tone etc etc.

I normally were foundation (Estee Lauder extreme liftimg foundation can recommend it looks natural dimishes lines) however with the hot weather round the corner and for holidays can anyone suggest something lighter tinted moisture etc that can help age challenged skin.

I have quite fair skin so cannot go too dark with the tan as I don,t get much chance with a lively toddler to see any sun so I make do with a couple of coats of johnsons holiday skin.

Thanks

bumping this cause I want to know the answer too!

Clinique do a tinted moisturiser thingy called City Block which is quite nice. IT made my skin look over-greasy though, so wasn't for me; worth trying it in store and seeing what you think maybe?

I hate my face to look tanned, much prefer pale and interesting but Benefit Dandelion or (I think) Dallas might be good for adding a bit of colour.

You want Laura Mercier tinted moisteriser. Space NK carries it

Can't advice on a foundation: I find that it just slides off in the summer. But Oil of Olay Regeneris serum has literally worked wonders on my skin. It varies in price, but the max is £22 which should last you two months.

I've also noticed that lipstick is now a major no-no due to ageing lines around the mouth. Nivea do a 'chapstick' in a light, pearly pink. It's so subtle, and incredibly flattering. If you're fair skinned it will look particularly effective.

Thanks for your advice will check out laura mercier tinted moisturiser and city block.

Agree that Laura Mercier is good, also Aveda tinted moisturiser.
