I have been using MAC full coverage foundation but find it is too drying for my 64 year old dry, sensitive skin with alot of redness. I was thinking of trying either Estee Lauder Resillence lift liquid or Chanel Lift Luminere. I need pretty full coverage and moisturize. Does anyone have an experience with either of these products who have the same skin problems that I do. Thanks in advance

Have you tried IT CC foundation? It's wonderful, great coverage and moisturizing . I haven't tried the other two you mentioned, but thought I'd put this out here if interested.

I have your skin but maybe more dry to normal than just dry.

I've been using the EL Resilience Lift for a couple months now. I don't use foundation every day, though. I like it very much. It's a nice texture that gives quite good coverage. The pump dispenser actually works well, unlike the Lancome Renergie Lift I was using previously and that would pump out enough for ten faces.

I stopped using the Lancome because I realized it wasn't a good shade for me, and I couldn't one that was. The EL denotes shade by Warm (W), Cool (C), and Neutral (N), as does Lancome, but EL's seems more accurate, and I was able to find a good match.

I don't believe that it gives me any "resilience," any more than Lancome gave me a lift, but hey, I'm a cynic.

ETA: I am talking liquid, not powder foundation. They make both.

You may want to take a look at Silk Crème foundation by Laura Mercier which fits your description of needs for your skin and she offers different undertones with her shades.

I've used Macs full coverage foundation for a long time now and my best results we're using Jack Black clear completion razor bump and acne treatment under the foundation it is a liquid so you only need to use a little bit and it doesn't get greasy it absorbs right into your skin and it keeps the dry skin away. Then I found using a wet Beauty Blender sponge with the Mack full coverage foundation to make it look so much better. I do not have razor bumps or acne but this product is great because it has 2 percent salicylic acid and green tea and lactic acid in it. I love this stuff ever since I found at dermstore. It's worth trying if you do already like your full coverage foundation as far as your color goes. I have a hard time finding foundation that is the right color for me. But I did find Bobby Brown alabaster 00 is my color because I am very pale. I really like her skin foundation.

I have your type of skin and use It Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness as the concealer and for my foundation Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation.

My skin looks flawless and lasts all day without looking made-up.

EL Double Wear is my favorite for full coverage. You can also mix the Advanced night repair with it to sheer it it out or mix any serum with it. It really looks beautiful applied with the beauty blender.

mollybrownmom, you might go to both the EL and the Chanel counters and ask for trial samples, if those are the two you're interested in. Try them for a few days.

I posted that I now use EL's Resilience Lift. I had tried the Double-Wear but was just in between shades. I'm happier with the texture of the Resilience. It seems perfectly long-lasting to me, but it isn't drying. In fact, it seems hydrating. The finish is described as "radiant," which translates to "satin" as far as I'm concerned.

i just went through leaving double wear looking for another, b/c face was feeling dry. no to resilience life…not enough coverage, no to chanel,…not enough coverage. no to dior nude for the same reason. so i tried double wear LIGHT. i have a winner.
