For over a year did not wear foundation and when I started smelling my old foundations they seemed rancid.  So I decided to start over and find a foundation that would not settle in lines, pores and wrinkles or separate when the oils starts in my t zone or look heavy and cakey.....Not doing so good.  The IT bye bye moisturizer foundation found every wrinkle and announced them to the world.  I looked older and cakey and unnatural.  I bought the sephora perfect skin tint that is new and the color was so dark and orange.  It gets good ratings but I think ordering on line is a game of luck.  The color I ordered was supposed to be light medium with yellow in my skin.  Not even close.  I liked the Josie Maran matchmaker foundation but it goes bad fast it seems.  I ordered the two bottles for a special price on the Q right before the pandemic and it went rancid.  This is hard finding something that does not make me look worse.  I know it is not just me because  I go up close to the TV and the high definition shows the people on there with lines prominent in  even the younger people.

@chiclet for me, it's texture that's emphasized whenever I use a liquid foundation. I switched to Laua Geller Balance and Brighten and it looks beautiful without emphasizing any flaws on my skin. I have dry skin and it doesn't look powdery at all but I make sure I moisturize well before applying it.

Maybe you really don't need all-over foundation; maybe just concealor...?

Don't you find that your skin is happier/looks better without? I think that's the case with some on here that I have read.

Maybe just a finishing powder? I'm still partial to Bye Bye Pores, but I also like Ready To Wear. (Haven't tried any LG, but some on here really like hers.)

Bare Minerals doesn't settle into fine line's, and gives you a natural looking coverage that never looks cakey.

Ever since I developed wrinkles, I hate foundation. All foundation. I’ve tried sooo many brands including “hydrating” and “for mature skin” and they still accentuate every line and pore. Powder and mineral foundations too. I’ve accepted that my choices are either to even my skin tone with foundation and deal with the unwanted texture it brings or have a smooth texture with plain moisturizer and deal with uneven skin tone.

I love Laura Geller Balance and Brighten, especially in the summertime. (I have dry skin.) But I still need a concealer for places needing more coverage like under my eyes. But the B&B seem to anchor the concealer.  

Balance & Brighten also seems to have more coverage than Bare Minerals that I used for years.

I have the same concerns about wearing foundation. I am 72 years old and have good results with A-266582 Perricone MD High Potency Classics Face Moisturizer, which has spf and self-forming tint. It also contains good skin care ingredients. Good luck finding a foundation that works for you, and have a grateful day.

I have a few foundations.  IT CC+ Cream (applied with a light hand) looks  very nice.  Rare Beauty is good if you hydrate and prime.  EL Double Wear was beautiful for several years but either I changed or the formula changed.  My favorite is Lancome Tient Idole.  You might find this interesting...

Forgot about The Ordinary Skin Tint.  I really like it too but I get shiny if I get too hot.  I  have to think about where I'm going and what I'm doing to know which foundation to wear but Lancome is tops out of my collection.
