How can the answer be improved? MAC Powder and Powder Foundation For Oily Skin Studio Fix Pastels Powder. An oil-absorbing powder is one of my go-to items for oily skin, and this Studio Fix Pastels powder is very impressive. The powder is designed to control oil while also minimizing the appearance of large pores.
I haven’t worn foundation in about 15-20 years, because it always made my skin itch, and I thought, made my fine lines perk up a bit. Now I am 50, and I am curious, but I tell you, I am a bit apprehensive about purchasing more and have the same problem. I have found generally, that they highlight my wrinkles, so I have just worn some lotion and walked on. I am used to that now, and am afraid to try!
Will the large cosmetic foundation people give me a trial, or can I just get my face done and wait about 2 hours to see what happens? I definitely want to look dewier and a bit more polished, but not like I am trying too hard Renae. Most department store brands ( including Sephora and prestige cosmetics at Ulta) will let you try on foundations and give you samples. I usually have them apply the foundation I am trying and give me a sample. It is a good idea to wear it for a couple of hours and I never buy a foundation without going outside and checking a mirror. Most of those same products are returnable if they just aren’t working but ask before you buy ( sometimes you have to keep the packaging, sometimes there is a time limit).
Drug stores don’t typically have samples you can buy but check about return policies. If you haven’t worn foundations in awhile it may just feel too heavy, you can try a BB or CC cream or a tinted moisturizer. I would recommend you try a primer under your foundation, it really does make a difference. If they make you look like you have a lot of make-up on, or settles in your wrinkles I think you’re putting too much on.
I’ve decided that the act of applying make-up or moisturizer is an opportunity to massage my face and help refresh it. I swear it’s helped me reduce those little white bumps that can be a plague. I moisturize, then use the foundation to smooth and even out my skin tone, not to achieve full coverage. I like Armani foundation, it’s very liquid with good coverage, but keep Revlon in my travel bag. The Maybelline B&B with SPF 30 is an excellent weekend, vacation product. I’ve been using Shiseido Radiant Lifting Foundation for a few years now.
I find the coverage medium yet buildable. This radiant lifting foundation is true to its word! I start out with redness and hyper pigmentation and finish with what looks like dewy, clear, healthy, natural looking skin.
It is an absolute pleasure to use, because it’s easy to apply and a little goes a long way. Applied over a good primer and sealed with a touch of powder it effortlessly lasts me a good 12 hours, even in extremely hot and humid conditions. I have mature combination skin. I highly recommend this gem of a foundation for mature skin.
