How to achieve even foundation coverage on mature skin: life hacks for women over 40

As we age, our skin changes and becomes drier, duller, and wrinkled. These changes are natural and quite normal, but they can make it much more difficult to apply makeup.

Mature skin has its own characteristics that require a special approach. That's why She Finds has put together a selection of tips to help women over 40 achieve the perfect foundation coverage.

Primer

The biggest mistake in mature skin makeup is not using a primer. This product can fill in and smooth out small wrinkles and deep pores, and will also allow the foundation to go on more evenly and last longer.

When buying any product, including primer, pay attention to the "moisturizing" label and the content of hyaluronic acid and retinol. With age, the skin becomes drier and loses elasticity, so it could use some extra nourishment.

Textures

Do not use heavy, sticky, or dry textures. They will clump into skin folds, emphasizing them. It is better to choose creamy and liquid products, and use powder only in extreme cases.

Foundation

Experts advise adult women to choose foundations that contain vitamins. They will help restore the skin and increase its elasticity.

In particular, vitamin A is a key ingredient in anti-aging products. B vitamins are great for moisturizing and smoothing the skin, vitamin C is great for brightening it, and vitamin E helps minimize age spots.

Brushes

If you don't clean your makeup tools or don't clean them enough, it can lead to breakouts, clogged pores, and uneven foundation application.

In addition, if you apply cosmetics with your hands, be sure to thoroughly wash them.
