Doll 10 TCE Serum Powder Foundation

I'm not sure what the answer is. I know at my advanced age - almost 73 -- I am not pleased with my skin. I don't particularly like wearing liquid or cream foundation - have found none that really gives me enough coverage and that look good on my older skin. Powder has been better for me as far as ease. Is it perfect? No, far from it. I do use Laura Geller for the ease and if I use it sparingly, it does offer some coverage. Although I do not feel that if you have lined skin, it will take the lines away. Using the powder sparingly is better. I guess as others have suggested, maybe trying a primer first. Trial and error. I don't think as we get older and have lines that any kind of cosmetic is going to make these things just disappear -- sadly.

@SandGirl I'm 69 and use MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation. I have no problems with it.

@Boehm Collector Thank you. I "think" this one is part of the Nordstrom Anniv. sale!

@SandGirl I've tried all you mentioned and others.
My skin is too dry and old for any success using powders.
@granddi thank you. What have you found that works that doesn't make lines look worse? I have the It Cosmetics foundation everyone loves but I don't love it at all...
I very thinly use lancome Teint Idole Ulta Wear.

@granddi Thank you, I'll take a look at this

I've used BM, Laura Geller, Studio Fix, and liked them all. I tried

Doll 10 TCE Serum Powder Foundation

about a year ago and LOVE it! I use Light Medium and stocked up in case they don't continue it.

Hi Sandgirl,

The one I tried most recently, as in last year, and have been the most pleased with, is Jane Iredale. I also use her Primer. The powder doesn't settle into fine lines, and it lasts all day. The longer you wear it the prettier on the skin it looks.

I hesitated for years trying this powder foundation because of the price point, but it really is one of the best I have tried. I am fair so I use the Ivory shade. I got a sample kit which was much less than the product itself because I didn't want to spend the money and have it not work.

I tried the finishing spray that came with it, but didn't care for it. The primer and the powder foundation, however, are wonderful.

I purchased the brush she sells with it, and that gives a heavier coverage, however, most days I like a light coverage, so I use a fluffier, less dense brush for application.

Hope that helps.

You might want to try the tinted moisturizer. Laura has one.

I cannot wear any powder. Even the older models show powder in lines on the Q.

I just avoid powder altogether, in blushes, eye shadows.

I don't think it is as much age as it is your skin condition.

Not really a powder foundation but I am enjoying Laura Mercier bluring powder in the rose! It does well with a primer/sunscreen and I use a fan brush or her puff to apply a tiny amount. I have some lines, and it doesn't settle in them.
