If you’re over 40, which foundation?

Hi, I’m 42 and have those pesky ‘fine lines and wrinkles’ that inevitably find us all.
I’m just curious what foundation you use, if you’re in a similar age bracket, that doesn’t accentuate the crows feet!
thanks

Tinted moisturiser for me, I think wear the bare minimum of base as you get older. Some MUAs just put it in the centre of the face and blend out.

I've been doing that since 1985🤣

I use DW Futurist and just discovered Max Factor Pure Miracle which is less spendy.

I am mid 40’s with very dry pre-menopausal skin. I’ve tried them all..Armani, Chanel, Mac etc and settled on Clinique Even Better for a number of years. However, my skin has now become even drier and my new favourite is also Boots Hydraluminous. It’s great for mature or dry skin, I’ve noticed a massive difference. The only thing is it does oxidise so suggest going lighter than you think. I’m normally a 40 Cream Chamois shade in Clinique and have to mix two Hydraluminous shades Calico and Warm Ivory to get a nice shade when it oxidises.

IT cosmetics CC foundation - I swear by it.

I prefer tinted moisturiser for the day. have tried quite a few and am currently quite happy with Revolution Superdewy, as it applies easily with fingers over my usual spf moisturiser and no pilling.

Erborian BB is the best product on my over 50 combination skin. Their tinted eye cream is also miraculous. It goes on white and initially looks scary but then magically and seamlessly sinks in, corrects, brightens and smooths under eye and then doesn't budge.

Is this the eye cream you mean: https://uk.erborian.com/bb-eye-cream-and-concealer-6AA30064.html

Their website has a lot of different eye products and I got a bit confused!
