How to choose the best foundation for mature skin to blur wrinkles: tips from professionals

As we age, skin loses its elasticity and becomes dull, so you should avoid powder foundations as they tend to sink into fine lines and wrinkles, making them more pronounced. To achieve a softer, more radiant, and natural look, you should instead look for moisturizing cream or serum formulas.

Experts told us how to choose a foundation for mature skin and hide wrinkles. Effective tips were given by professionals in the field: makeup artist Mandy Bryce, makeup expert Alexis Chapman, and Eye Makeup Lab CEO Vivi Mintara.

Professional tip №1

With age, you should give up powder makeup products. A nourishing cream or serum will be a better choice. The skin should be moisturized and saturated with nourishing ingredients. Therefore, experts advise choosing moisturizing foundations and primers.

The reason is that the skin loses moisture with age, which often leads to unevenness when applying makeup.

Before applying a cream or serum, you should first add a moisturizing primer. With this product, concealer and foundation will become much smoother and glide on the skin better without clogging pores.

"The best types of primers for textured and mature skin should have the word 'moisturizing' in the name," explains Chapman.

She advises looking for primers that contain hyaluronic acid and retinol. The primer will help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and create a smoother, longer-lasting result.

Professional tip №3

Look for foundations with vitamins. Vitamins in general help to restore skin and increase elasticity, in particular, vitamin A (retinol) is a key ingredient in anti-aging products – it works great on fine lines and wrinkles and improves elasticity.

B vitamins moisturize and smooth the skin.

Vitamin C also has a moisturizing and brightening effect, and vitamin E cleanses the skin of age spots.
