If you’re in your earlyish 50’s, what foundation do you like?

I love Armani Luminous Silk but really need to get it colour matched and have no counter within travelling distance. Throw suggestions at me for an alternative please. Have access to Space NK and Frasers. Thanks!

Boots number 7 hydraluminous. Goes on well and nice and dewy. The tinted moisturiser is nice too

I’m 54 and use Giorgio Armani neo nude. Lovely and lightweight.

EL double wear but only if well moisturised. The beauty pie tinted moisturiser is nice.i really want to try the new Charlotte tilbury foundation

I have a nice Urban decay one

Estee Lauder Double Wear.

I was using Double Wear Light but they've discontinued it. I'm now trying to find something as good. Double Wear itself is too heavy for me.

Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish.

I'm 52.

I'm 51. Erborian CC Cream is my Holy Grail. I used to swear by Chanel Aqua Lumiere, but Erborian is far better, lasts all day and well into the evening.

There's nothing the South Koreans don't know about skincare.

Armani

I phoned them in Selfridges. Told him what I had been in the summer.

If you can’t face that then in space NK go and look at the

Oops. Hourglass brand. I got some concealer from there and love it

Nars tinted moisturiser, game changer for me.

Revolution fast base foundation stick. Cheap and amazing.

Sound like you would like hourglass from your brand history which they sell at space nk

@peaceanddove ...agree. Have tried so many over the years. Now in my early 60s and Eborian is all I use with a bit of blusher.

I'm 53. Another vote for Erborian. I prefer the CC cream when my skin is clearer but the BB when I need a little more coverage. I use the Clair shade which is their lightest. I worried that it would be too pale but it adjusts to your skin, and looks really nice.

I find it too heavy on its own but mix it with a bit of Mac primer and it looks dewy and not heavy but still gives good coverage.

Depending how much coverage you need, I do 50/50 of each

Goodness, thank you for so many recommendations.

I did actually contact Armani Beauty on their chat and they suggested a couple of shades based on my last colour match … only I was never really happy with that as the SA said it was better to go darker than my skin-tone. I used it for a couple of years but always felt it wasn’t quite right. Sadly my nearest Armani counter is a 3 hr drive.

I’ll definitely have a look at these recommendations - it’s good to see some recommended by a few posters. Thanks again.

Perhaps go and get colour matched on a Clinique counter or whatever is nearest to you and then put that colour into the findation site? I use Double Wear and used that shade on findation to get my Armani foundation and it's perfect.

To soften my double wear I mix it with Iconic Illuminator and Estée Lauder night repair. I apply it with a brush and finish off with a damp sponge.

@Rina66, that’s a good idea. If I don’t find something I really like, I’ll take note of the shade and see what it comes up with on Findation. Thank you!

I mix a splodge of Eborian cc cream into my Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser. Perfect!

I'm 52 and I use Make Up Forever's Watertone. It's runnier than most foundations and I find it gives a nice, sheer coverage; exactly what I need as mu skin isn't too bad for my age.

I use trinny London BFF and BFF destress

ByTerry Nude Expert stick. I have stockpiled.
