Color-matched for Clinique Even Better Clinical Serum at a Sephora store about a month ago. Very happy with product. Have not used Clinique in years.

Re: The best foundation for over 60

@lucky-girl     I am 71 and have normal skin.  My foundation is for normal to oily skin and its fluid powder by Bobbi Brown. It's a semi matte finish light to med. coverage. Sweatoproof and waterproof.   $40 but I buy it when a discount is offered.  The foundation you choose should depend on skin type, coverage, waterproof, etc.

@lucky-girl  It would depend on the type of coverage you want.

 

I'm really content using L'Oréal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream.  It doesn't give a lot of opaque coverage.  It's doesn't feel like I have anything on and provides a more evening of skin tone while maintaining a natural skin look.

I tried that stuff and took it back. It did not go on very good. Formed little balls of foundation. Looked dry and yucky.

Re: The best foundation for over 60

There is no osfa for "over 60". There are just to many variables with skin types. I'm 66 and use a pressed mineral foundation (PUR).  What works for my skin may not work for someone else my age.

As others have said, it all depends on your skin type/tone, coverage wanted, etc.  Since we don't have that information, I'll tell you what I use.  I'm 67 have light/medium cool/neutral skin tone, normal to dry.

 

I use Laura Geller Balance and Brighten in Medium or Laura's Double Take Baked Powder Foundation in Medium.  Also use L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Glow radiant finish liquid foundation in Natural Buff.

 

What I use any given day depends on mood and coverage that I want.

 

Good luck!  Its a lot of trial and error until you find what works for you.

For light coverage I use Josie Marans Protect and Perfect tinted SPF 47. I love this...but others say it looks orange on them. On me it doesn't, and it looks fresh and lasts all day.

I also use IT CC Cream in Light medium when I want full coverage.

Futurist Hydra rescue from Estee Lauder.

 

I have dry skin/66 years old, and really like the foundation.

I got a sample when visiting the store 1.5 years ago and ended up buying it, I'm on my 2nd tube.

Re: The best foundation for over 60

I am a young 69 and have used Revlon colorstay for years.  I mix a few drops, or a small dip of moisturizer with a few drops of liquid makeup and apply with a foam cosmetic sponge.  I read this as a tip for our age a while back, maybe from Jane Fonda.  It keeps makeup from looking heavy and settling into lines.  No need to spend a fortune on foundation.  Hope this helps!
