Foundation makeup for over 60

deemcd · ‎07-12-2012

Looking for recommendations for makeup that has good coverage but not heavy so that it will settle in the lines. Power or liquid? Brand name ? Does not matter if it is from a drug store, department store or Qvc. I have been using a tinted moisturizer but I have redness on my cheeks and I used the green primer to help hide it. Also would like to know what primer you recommend. Thank you in advance for your replies.

I've been using Chanel Healthy Glow/Les Beiges liquid foundation for a few years. I happened to receive a sample of it and loved it. It really makes my skin look flawless. It has a pump dispenser - one pump is all I need. I'm 66. I don't use a primer.

I'm in my 60s and can't live without Estee Lauder Double Wear. Go to a major department store and have an Estee Lauder-trained salesperson do a color match for you. Once you know your ideal foundation color, you won't believe how great your skin looks once you use a quality product. I've found the best primers to be Tacha or my old standby Laura Geller Spackle. Good luck!!

I use DHC Velvet Skin primer and MAC Studiofix compact with the round sponge . I use C4 wet and it covers everything and stays on all day. Now available at ULTA

But I also have had good luck with" it CC cream" avaiable on QVC and HSN

I think all of the makeup lines have yellow or blue based foundations, but I love Clinique Repair Wear Lazer Focus. I go over the anywhere my foundation may collect with a fine sponge.

@deemcd I suggest Dior foundations. 1. Forever Perfect spf 35 or Forever Undercover 24-hour full coverage. Both have excellent reviews and are weightless. Both at Nordstrom and ON SALE now. Read the reviews. Excellent products.

I can't wear many foundations, I break out badly. Only make up I can use is BARE MINERALS original powder foundation.

I have tried so many foundations and all of them have something that does not agree with my facial tissue.

I just keep it simple. I use very little of the foundation so have no problems with it settling in fine line (near 70 yrs now).

@deemcd Predictable recommendation from me: Bobbi Brown Stick Foundation.... Buildable coverage, easy & portable, looks natural like your skin, but better.
