Makeup for 50s

Hi all,

Looking for some advice on make up. At the moment I use max factor foundation - cream to powder and mascara.

I have red, blotchy skin caused by rosacea so would love a foundation that covers this but doesn't crease.

Also eyebrows are very thin, barely there so could do with something to help but not look like slugs 😂 if you know what I mean?

What would you recommend?

Erborian BB cream and Charlotte Tilbury Brow Lift pencil are both 🙌🏽

Thank you for your recommendations. I'd never heard of the Erborian brand before and will look at that and also Charlotte tilbury.

I’m 55 and have been pleased with brow lamination. Defines without looking like a slug.

Maybe get an assistant in Benefit to try some Gimme Brow on you?

I'm very pleased with Estee Lauder Futurist foundation.

Laura Mercier hydrating primer and tinted moisturiser are both fab. Also suffer from rosacea so feel your pain. Dermatologist recommended Cetaphil. The range is great - cleanser and moisturiser, and they do a tinted moisturiser too that is brilliant for evening out skin tone and disguising the red. Have also been using a Lancôme cream concealer that is good and doesn't clog. Still struggle to properly cover the cystic acne that sometimes erupts but honestly don't think anything would really tackle it. It's horrid.

I use Chanel Ultra Le Teint foundation and found it was pretty good with my rosacea skin and it's perfect now I am treating the rosacea and I don't have to use so much for coverage.
My rosacea was/is the redness with pustules and swelling. However since using Dermatica for nearly the last 2 years I no longer have the redness, no pustules and my skin is so smooth with no swellings. I can believe how much my chin was swollen before the Dermatica took effect.
I could stop the treatment now I think, but I don't want to in case it comes back so I now use it every other night. You can try for £2.90, plus £10 off your next month. I would expect you would start to see a difference in that time. You can also delay/skip your next treatment if you don't use it all up.

I so wish I had found Dermatica 30 years ago as I have suffered all that time with different treatments from the doctor and nothing sorted it out.

Lanera foundation.

And Rosalique for the rosacea.
