Thanks all. I will head to Sephora or Macy's and ask for samples. QVC just keeps showing the same brands in stead showing others on qvc.com

I think that if you have wrinkles, you'll always look better is something lighter....like a BB cream or light powder foundation if you prefer a powder. I like Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue moisturizer or IT Nude Glow...or Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer.

@Chiefsuperfan If you go to Sephora or Ulta they will be able to help you across a lot of different brands.

If you go to Macy's or Nordstrom you will be more likely to be directed to a single brand, which isn't necessarily bad, but I would do some research on brands & read some reviews.

There are a lot of great foundations available. It's just trial & error to see what works for you.

But just like lipstick, the more matte the foundation, the less likely it is to move into lines.

So a matte, satin or natural finish is going to be better for you than one that is glowy, dewey or very hydrating. Unless you have dry skin.

Please, ask any other questions you come up with & let us know if you go try some things out!

Haus Labs By Lady Gaga Triclone Skin Tech Medium Coverage Foundation With Fermented Arnica-Wins for longest name.

LOLOL!

It also wins driest, caked on can hardly remove it, from me.  I hate it but I have a super dry complexion.  I didn't try it for a long time because I'd read it was for oily skin.  Then a beauty influencer (that I'd never seen before) said it worked great on dry skin.  I bought it.  She lied.

I haven't tried all the foundations but of the ones I have, I think Natasha Denona would win the no fine lines award.  I'm wearing Dior today and will keep an eye on it to see how it does.  The only lines I have ones from my nose to the side of my lips.  Man, that was a lie!  Last night I used my 15x mirror to pull some whiskers and saw all kinds of lines   It was depressing.

@monicakm If it's depressing, don't look in a 15X mirror!

I don't use any foundation, only primer and tinted moisturizer. I don't notice wrinkles, but have fine lines which don't bother me much. It happens, and as long as I use products for hydration and to balance skin tone I'm fine.

@monicakm This is why we definitely need more information before recommending products!

And it makes a difference how we each use skincare or apply our foundations.

"What is a good foundation?" seems like a simple question but it really isn't.

And those magnifying mirrors are so horrible!!

From one chief super fan to another, I wore my Dior Backstage foundation yesterday.  The only wrinkles I have are the lines from my nose to each horizontal end of my lips.  I know those have a name but I can't remember it.  Dior didn't settle in those lines.    There are a couple of reddit forums that focus on mature beauty.

@Chiefsuperfan I love Yensa!  Now that I have found my perfect shade.  Goes on well.  Doesn't get cakey, oily, etc.  Some days I use a primer most days I don't.  Nice brushes.
