14 best foundations for mature skin
| 14 best foundations for mature skin Hide wrinkles and more with the use of an effective and targeted makeup base Suzanne Baum Monday 30 July 2018 09:00  As we get older our skin needs change, and the foundation many of us have stuck with for decades may no longer make the cut. Hormonal changes together with the addition of wrinkles and laughter lines, sun damage and age spots can cause mature skin to need extra care and attention. Additionally, ageing skin can also become very prone to dryness, making wrinkles appear more obvious. So there is no better moment to invest time, and in some cases money, in finding the right foundation to suit your needs. Our testers – in their 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s – trialled lots of products in different price ranges to bring you the best of the bunch. Here are the best foundations for mature skin that will hide dark circles, fine lines and everything else in between. Teint Couture Balm Givenchy Blurring Foundation Balm Bare Skin Perfector: £31, Givenchy  With a makeup brand as reputable as Givenchy you would expect to get great results and this foundation certainly didn’t disappoint. One of our testers has spent the last five years trying everything to cover up the dark circles that seem to of appeared under their eyes and only wished they had discovered this product sooner. This foundation glided on smoothly across the skin giving our tester an almost instant even skin tone which seemed to brighten up their problematic eye area. One small application from the tube saw them through the day, but if you do want to build it up a bit on particularly troublesome areas it will glide on without dragging down the skin. The overall effect gave a lovely dewy look without the additional need to add blusher or bronzer, plus the texture of the makeup felt like a second skin. La Prairie Skin Caviar Essence-In-Foundation: £148, Harrods  When a foundation comes in at this price, it is no surprise to hear it contains caviar water – an extract of which enhances the production of collagen that we lose as we age. You can tell that it contains goodness for the skin, as after just a few days of wearing it – your face feels more plumped up and bright, with the foundation providing a natural looking coverage and the added benefit of SPF 25 for protection. Having suffered with severe acne as a teenager, our tester had been left with scarring on one cheek which often requires them to apply heavy makeup, but this worked its magic by gliding over the skin and covering up every imperfection. The only reason why this product wasn’t our best buy was because of its hefty price tag. Germaine De Capuccini Splendour: £42.50, Germaine De Capuccini  |
