Light weight foundation please... - Page 2

I am with you on the Laura Geller B & B powder. A few years ago I switched from IT CC foundation and love the smooth, light look of B & B. Under it I use Paula's Choice tinted SPF moisturizer.

On Thanksgiving this week up state at my SIL's, she and her neighbor were in at my shoulders at the appetizer table under a bright light. My SIL kept looking at me and told her friend " She just had her 80th last week....no way does she look it ". Her friend looked more closely and agreed.

Last week I stopped by my hair salon to drop off a package. I jokingly said to the owner, thought you'd be singing the Birthday song. Of course he began but wanted to know how many. No, really...I think you only say that because you're really 70 and just want folks to say you really look good for 80.

I should have bet money for the date on my Real ID driver license !

Look for things that say skin tint or tinted moisturizer

Ok, I am 62, and have crummy skin due to stupid sunburns as a dumb kid- It's very crepey, wrinkly around my eyes but also a lot of darkness there, so it's always a challenge toget some brightness without a pasty, cakey look- Foundations are too opaque, pasty, and tinted moisturizers don't give me any coverage-

So very recently I saw on FB an add for Perbelle, a skin -tone adjusting CC cream with SPF.

Honestly, the demos totally got me! Mostly mature ladies with same problems I have!

I ordered and have just used it and it is really an answer for me!
Go to the website Perbelle.com and check out the videos- So far, I love it! Yes, today call me the enabler! 🤣
HTH!

I have given up the want for foundation, I have never found a single one that didn't settle into fine lines, and make my pores look more visible. I see this on other Woman as well. To me, it's aging on most. I am lucky in that I don't need it, I have some freckles, but I love them so I don't want to cover them anyway. What I use when I want a flawless look, is a very good high end lightly tinted face powder. It makes my skin look flawless.

I recently got a sample of ANASTASIA foundation from Dillards - light to medium coverage. She gave me two samples...I have tried both and go back and forth as to the color. I think the color is spot on at times and then I think as the day goes on the color changes. I don't know if it just me or the foundation.

From previous experience I find I have to go into the store for a sample or help with color match.

As old as I am, you'd think I'd know this by now. I've used IT foundation for years but now, even with just the tinest drop blended into my hands before applying, it still seems to be to heavy for my liking. What would you recommend as a bare minimum makeup
foundation? Thank you kindly.

@sarahpanda - Have you ever tried applying with a damp sponge? I've used IT for years and the damp sponge makes all the difference in the world.

@Skyegirl21 - I've seen all the demos on Facebook too. I think the product works great for those with a light complexion.

I saw a lady do a demo that had a medium complexion and the final result came out too light for her skin tone. All the commments stated the same thing.

@sarahpanda I have old/combo-oily/easily dehydrated/breaks out from everything skin.Yay.

I love Fenty Pro Filtr Soft Matte Powder Foundation. I apply it with a Real Techniques Miracle Powder Makeup Blending Sponge. Who decides on these long drown out names!

I can blend it lightly & then add more coverage where I want it. The flocked sponge helps camoflauge any texture I have.

When I want more coverage or just feel like it, I use Mac Studio Fix Fluid. It looks especially light & pretty when I mix it with Daniel Sandler Moon Glow Watercolour Illuminator.

I bought Chantecaille Future Skin Oil Free Foundation on sale, because I have read for years how fantabulous it is. Well it is very lightweight. It doesn't break me out. Zero coverage, I would say.

I have tried primers, but never found them to help with my oil.

I use Cosrx Oil Free Ultra Moisurizing Lotion with Birch Sap under my foundation & it hydrates my skin but doesn't make me get greasy or oily through the day.

Good luck. You got some good advice to sift through.

I like Perricone foundation serum, its very light but covers fairly well.

My go-to foundations are Nars Sheer Glow and Armani Luminous Silk. That is what I wear mostly for church, but would also wear for a special occasion. Nars came out with something else I think they wanted to replace the Sheer Glow with since Sephora removed Sheer Glow from their B&M stores. I don't remember the name, but I didn't care for it.

A very nice lightweight skin tint is Fenty Eaze Drop. That's what I would use for shopping or meeting friends for lunch. Otherwise, I'm mostly bare-faced and don't worry about people seeing me that way.
