Foundation for mature skin

6 replies

Hi there,

Just looking for advice, my mum has finally given me an idea for an xmas present for her, she isn't one for wanting people to spend money on her, so I want to treat her a bit, as much as my small budget will allow. Shes asked for make up, in particular foundation. Shes mid 60s and quite paranoid about her wrinkles. I know not much can sorted that bar fillers etc, but can anyone recommend me holy grail make up products/foundation for a more mature skin? Omething that will make her feel a bit better? Neither of us are that clued up about make up so I'm not sure what's good either! I've also heard a primer is a good idea, but again I've no idea what's best, there are too many!
Thanks in advance

I am 55 and like a soft not too full on foundation with a bit of glow. N7 hydraluminous is my current favourite but Bobbi Brown serum foundation is lovely too.
Lisa Eldridge (iirc) has some YouTube vids on making up more mature skin, and has brand recommendations too.

I was just coming on to suggest hydroluminous no7 - it's really very good

I'm 52 and love NYX Born To Glow.

Thank you for the suggestions! Will look up lisa Eldridge too. That's strange, I've seen that hydraluminous recommended for dehydrate sign so I bought that before for myself and found it made me look even drier, settled into my lines! I just dont understand make up lol.

I'm 59 and a half. I like the hydra luminous by no7 and Bobbi Brown stick foundation. The BB can be put on sparingly or built up, depending on how much coverage you like.
I have dry, dehydrated skin.
