10 Reviews: Best Foundation for Mature Skin (Apr 2024)

True Color Skin Perfecting Stick Foundation SPF 15 by BLK/OPL glides on like butter and gives a full-coverage, velvet-smooth finish that lasts for hours without smudging or fading — and no, it doesn’t seep into fine lines or pores. This foundation stick, which is available in 21 shades designed exclusively for darker skin tones, is also infused with vitamins C and E, which work together to moisturize while providing skin-nourishing antioxidant effects.

Makes my skin look so goooood!

The term alone is a joy to the ears of those with dry skin. The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint is an Allure Best of Beauty winner because it doesn’t trade moisture for coverage–that’s the entire point of this cheap foundation tint. The large doe-foot applicator makes application a snap, which makes blending even simpler. To get a flawless finish, use a moist makeup sponge to set it in. Who can do that with that price range?

I have used many bottles of this product and absolutely love it on my mature skin. It provides just the right amount of coverage and moisture and lasts nicely throughout the day.

If spending more than $50 on a bottle of foundation is out of the question, we recommend Sephora Collection’s Best Skin Ever Foundation. Not only is it fairly priced and available in a wide spectrum of 50 shades, but the light-to-medium-coverage product lives up to its lofty “Best Skin Ever” name by incorporating skin-care benefits. It’s infused with three all-star hydrating elements that draw water to the skin and maintain a healthy barrier, much like your favorite moisturizer.

Amazing!!!! Having mature, severely dry skin and wrinkles, have been having a horrible time finding something lately. The rep in Sephora tested this on me and I was blown away!! Is sooo lightweight and coverage was decent on one layer. [...]

The Best of Beauty-winning Make Up For Ever Reboot Foundation, which plumps skin and avoids settling into fine lines, will be a hit with dry skin types. This lightweight liquid foundation contains moisture-attracting glycerin and ginseng to encourage natural collagen formation behind its radiant, silky finish. We’re ready to wager that the serum-like formula will make you forget you’re wearing makeup at all.

I’ve bought over 5 different foundations over the last year and I like this one the best. Mid-40s, dry skin with a host of issues common to more mature skin, this does the job most reliably for me. I get just enough coverage to even out and my skin looks like skin. [...]

This lightweight CC cream is well named: The very clean product, which is rich in hyaluronic acid to noticeably fill the face, promises natural-looking coverage that blurs over wrinkles and fine lines without feeling cakey. This best-selling full-coverage, SPF 50 CC cream works as a foundation, brightening color corrector, moisturizing serum, pore-less finish prep, dark spot concealer, and moisturizer all in one.

Product reviews are not always reliable; but for me, this is a product that lives up to much of the hype. I have dry, mature skin with some discoloration from sun damage and inherent blue undertones showing more. This cream effortlessly gives a nice coating of camouflage without looking or feeling masked or heavy [...]

IT Cosmetics  Your Skin But Better Foundation + Skin Care works as a tinted serum rather than a foundation. The term “Skin Care” refers to ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and vitamin E, which help to reduce the appearance of pores and undesirable texture while also contributing to a radiant finish. The buildable cream gives your complexion a layer of obvious evenness and brightness, without seeming caked on or too done.

Worked perfectly for a Halloween makeup that's a no-makeup look (did that make sense?) even for me at age 59!

The foundation from renowned makeup artist Pat McGrath offers a magnificent radiance worthy of a splurge. The creamy, buildable foundation, which comes in 36 shades, smooths fine lines and blurs pores while keeping your skin moisturized and healthy with a “Vita-Serum Complex” of hyaluronic acid and ceramides. Additionally, it improves brightness and skin luminosity while diminishing the appearance of skin imperfections.

This foundation is so beautiful. It looks great on my more mature, dry skin. It’s a little pricey, but completely worth it to me. I will definitely be repurchasing.

This serum-foundation hybrid is Dior’s newest product, and it’s designed for older skin. It uses the science of mother cells and the longoza flower (renowned for its renewing properties) to treat four anti-aging categories: wrinkles, dark spots, loss of firmness, and a dull complexion. The melt-in finish gives skin a smoother, plumper, and more moisturized appearance. It instantly smooth and brighten the complexion

I am definitely not an expert in foundations, getting old I am 52 so I started to look for something which would be light not greasy wouldn’t crease and would show me just slightly improved. I found it it is wonderful you can apply it with a brush or a sponge. I definitely would recommend it. I recently changed my creams and routine to Dior and I love it.

Use Tom Ford’s Traceless Soft Matte Foundation to get a smooth, renewed-looking finish that resembles skin but is finer. This medium-to-full-coverage foundation contains hyaluronic acid and antioxidants like vitamins C and E to help prevent fine lines and wrinkles. As a consequence, it’s even appropriate for oily skin that’s prone to pimples. It is truly a definition of a modern matte finish foundation.

This is a great foundation that goes on very smooth. It also blends effortlessly into the skin and provides great coverage that you can build on.

The ultra-luxe Skin Caviar Essence-In-Foundation from La Prairie is a game-changer thanks to its silky emulsion texture and strong composition packed with moisturizing and firming caviar water — the same material found in many of the brand’s skin-care products. But what’s the only drawback? It’s only available in eight colors for now, but here’s hope for more in the future. You’ll never regret buying this!

One of the best foundations I have used in years. Have mostly used Chanel or Armani but will definitely be purchasing this foundation for my mainstay. Perfect on mature skin!
