Are yoiu sure the problem isn't your skincare?

@mariadomenica

I'm interested in the replies as well.

While I like the coverage, both IT CC creams I have emphasize the lines around my eyes. It's also difficult to completely remove.

I know it's inconvenient, but maybe branch out from HSN/QVC. Go to an Ulta or Sephora if there's one nearby and let them help you find one. I don't think I've ever seen a foundation specifically for mature skin presented on HSN/QVC. They're all about saying every product is for every skin color/type which isn't true.

There are several You Tubers who talk about beauty for mature skin. Tamara's Timeless Beauty and Mrs. Melissa M are two off the top of my head. If you search "foundation for mature skin", I'm sure a few options will come up. These probably won't give you an answer, but they will give you an idea about what's available and what might work best for your issues.

How are you prepping your skin? My face feels super dry today. I know it's because I was in a hurry and rushed through my prep.

Maybe using a primer will help. That will create a smooth impermeable surface so your favorite foundation will work out for you.

Estee Lauder double wear is my favorite but it may be too drying for you, my second favorite is lancome and that is not as drying,if you buy it at macys and don't like it you can return it.

@mariadomenica If you need full coverage and are familiar with IT cosmetics I suggest you try their Bye Bye Foundation if you havent already.

It is a different formula/texture than their CC cream and boasts itself as being "a moisturizer with color pigments". It is very moisturizing in my opinion, creamy in texture as you prefer - very emollient.

Personally, I don't care for IT's foundations as they are all full coverage which is not my preference. The only one of their's I like is the newest CC Nude Glow formulation which is a medium, sheerer coverage.

Since you have tried IT foundations/cc creams before you should already know your shade so that's a plus. I hope this helps in your search!

Just a couple of points .. I have used Derma Blend for acne scars on

my neck .. fabulous product ..

Definitely a primer .....I went into Utla to have them help me with

foundation .... I promised myself I wasn't picking out colors anymore

without help .... I am 75 .. Gal suggested Urban Decay .. thought that

was more for young people .. but it is wonderful ... they also have

a spray that sets the foundation ....I also found a Mac color that

was good for my skin ... like that too ....but seriously .. consider

having someone help you ....

@mariadomenica - I can't help much because my skin is not that dry. But I suggest you ask @Shanus . She will be able to give you good recommendations. Good luck!
