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!

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

 

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!!

@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.

@Chiefsuperfan  -  How do you apply your foundation?  Are you using fingers or a brush?   Have you ever tried a damp sponge?   It may make a difference for you.

 

This is "Real Techniques" from Walmart and many other places.
