ELDW but for, well, slightly old skin

I need the staying power of ELDW (I'm someone who touches my face a lot it appears) but I'm no longer 20.

What options for someone coming fast up on 50?

I'm 55 and loved DW when I was younger. Can only wear it now mixed with another foundation. I've moved onto EL Futurist Hydra Rescue. It feels very light when you put it on but it gives good coverage and lasts well. It's got SPF45 too. Much kinder round "older" eyes. Have also recently bought some By Terry Cover Expert. Have just seen it's on offer on Space NK too. Found a shade matcher and put in my DW shade and bought the one recommended. Colour great. It's not as long lasting as DW but does look good on.

@Anjelika thank you - I'll take a look.

I've also used Dior Forever in the past which lasted well but I think they have changed the formulations and there are now about 3 different options. Probably best to leave that one till you can go to a store and get samples. Lots of people rate the No 7 Hydra luminous foundation. I've got that one too but the other 2 I mentioned in my first post work way better on me. Really miss being able to go into a department store and come away with a sample!

A lot of people rate the Revlon Colourstay more highly than DW. I've never tried either, as I am also in my fifties with dry skin and DW can make even fresh faced 20 year olds look like they're rocking Barbara Cartland if they have dry skin!
I am a Hydraluminous lover, but again, I have dry skin. It is buildable though.
