Thanks! I wore my Bourjois foundation at a party and when I saw the photos it looked like I had nothing on! My skin is good and healthy but I didnt look polished. I looked like I was sans makeup! I used a setting spray.

i like Boots No. 7 Hydraluminous

Diorskin Glow is my go to

I love Hourglass

L’Oréal True match timed serum. It’s so flattering on my older skin. I love it! And has great coverage without being cakey!

Lady gaga Haus Lab! Incredible.

I normally wear Mac Studio Fix foundation however I recently bought the Mac Studio Radiance foundation as I felt like I needed something a bit more dewy. It’s really lovely & I recommend. They have 25% off on their website currently too.

Estée Lauder doublewear

Thanks everyone!

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua

I needed this thread! Thanks

Right! I’m going to try a few of these. Thanks y’all.

Illamasqua beyond foundation is my go to.

I've worn double wear forever (it is THE BEST ) but it's too drying for my 37 year old skin

I'm now using Charlotte Tilbury beautiful skin. It's dewy and really nice coverage but not as long lasting

I’ve used some nice Chanel and Lancôme in the past. Tinted moisturiser when I was younger.

Now I use the Number 7 Hydraluminous mentioned by a pp. It’s reasonable price and medium coverage for everyday. I think Chanel discontinued a few of my go tos. If I want a more polished look I use a Mac powder (mineralize skin finish) - I sometimes just pop this over my existing Number 7 for an evening out if I don’t have time to redo all my make up. I’m a similar age to you.

Following with interest.
I have been really happy with Dior Forever but I think it's better on summer skin somehow. It seems to really emphasize dry patches and fine lines in colder weather.
I'm 50+ and photographed a bit through work, it's so true that the camera 'eats' makeup. What looks good in person in natural light/daytime/close up can show up completely different on camera. For me to look like a decent version of myself in photos I look absolutely caked in makeup irl. And that is sometimes with a professional makeup artist.

I've recently bought the Maybelline super stay skin tint foundation & it's been amazing, every other foundation looked awful on my skin, cakey almost but this is great, I look healthy, dewy, the coverage is great & it sits well with other products. Really suits my skin which can be dry & I have slight roseca but this covers it up without looking caked on,I look put together & I really enjoy it.

I've been using No 7 Hydraluminous and just started using No 7 Stay perfect for the same reasons as you OP wanting to look slightly more polished. I'm very happy with the results

I used to use Clarins everlasting foundation and Lancôme Teint idol both of which I recommend

EL double wear was too thick and dry for me

Same! I've been wearing this since 2010 and it's perfect, even though I have fairly dry skin.

Armani luminous silk.

I'm 43 with normal skin and it's amazing

Estée Lauder futurist. Dewy and lovely.

Defnitely Estee lauder Hydra Futurist I love it.

If you can afford Chanel, this is a beautiful foundation ❣️
