They will never show any type real life since they are marketing a fantasy.  That said, I would love to see a week with ONLY models over 70!  Not gonna happen 🤣

I have seen makeup shows that use older models.  Cant name them but there have been several.

I'm 65 and I have some wrinkle.  A couple of things that I think help me...I always use a primer.  And I always use liquid foundation and gel or liquid blush.  Don't use powder foundation or blush.  At least for me they show the wrinkle much more.  Hopefully this helps.

For me the foundation I use is BareMinerals complexion rescue.  But everyone is different.  You just need to find what works for you.

What primer do you use??  Do you use a powder over your makeup??  I seem to get into a problem when I use liquid foundation because even though I need a formua that moisturizes because my skin is dryer, after that my skin looks shiny and I don't like that.  Also, without powder, my foundation rubs off easily.  If you use powder after your foundation, what do you use??  Thanks.

I can't believe that some women apply liquid foundation and then don't set it with some sort of loose powder.  It will smear and come off on everything!  

Since then, I've found Bare Minerals to be the most user friendly foundation.  Not only can you control the coverage, but it doesn't smear.

They often use that grey-haired woman who looks beautiful made up. I think her name is Helen. She looks totally different without makeup.

Hsn has many older makeup models on the channel, BUT not the Q. That is why I buy more from HSN in this field.

I haven't signed in for a few days since I haven't been feeling well and I wanted to comment on and say - I feel the same!  I don't hear very many women I know admitting to wearing powder, but then I think --- really?  I kept thinking, I can't be the only person that foundation rubs off so easily without!  I will have to check into the Bare Minerals.  Thanks!

I watch all the time, and see many older models doing foundation demos.

Tarte uses a specific older woman and the wrinkles still show. IT cosmetics uses Helen, they show. Jodi is a model that is frequently used on many beauty brands and the wrinkles show.  

RoseMarie Swift is a makeup artist. Her brand is RMS Beauty, she demonstrates her makeup and she looks beautiful but guess what? Her wrinkles show.

I saw some wrinkling on Jaquie and yes they show and she is not even that old! 

Bottom line we are all imperfect and makeup may help some, but lines and wrinkles? They're going to show. Choose one that suits your other needs, and makes you look fresh and dewy.

Use a light hand and mix the foundation with moisturizer, see if that helps, and use a beauty blender and bounce away.

BTW right now I am using  RMS, Laura Mercier and Fenty foundations. I like all 3. Unfortunately my wrinkles show. 
Thankfully, as of yet they ain't that bad. Tomorrow is another day though. 

Good Luck.

PS Use a setting spray. I like  Fix+ and UD.

Many years ago I was on a ski trip when the weather was perfect.  The ski lodge was packed for lunch.  I saw a woman with a LOT of makeup on and very bright ski wear.   

I couldn't stop looking at her because the makeup, blush, eye shadow and lipstick was all liquid based and wasn't set with powder of any sort.  It was unbelievable that she thought the makeup would last all day.  Her face looked wet.

After lunch she got up to leave, walking toward the deck outside ... and BOOM!   She walked right into a sliding glass door that wasn't open!   It was startling and people all around stopped to see what caused the noise and I saw something I'd never seen before ..... her entire face had hit the glass and smeared all over it.  One the glass was makeup, a streak of lipstick and what a mess!  Not only was the glass a mess, but her makeup was smeared all over her face!

I remember it clearly to this day ... still wondering how she could have thought the makeup would "stay" all day.  What a smeared mess she made!

Wow!  Poor woman - not only was that probably painful but embarassing!  I hope after this she realized that she needed to either alter her makeup routine or add powder!!
