"I am really impressed. This foundation is the most natural looking medium/full coverage I have ever used. It really does look like skin and doesn't settle into any of my fine lines. You couldn't make this look cakey if you tried! The only downside is that you get 0.5 oz rather than the normal 1 oz, and the dispensing of the product can be a bit tricky. The formula totally makes up for all of it though! I definitely recommend." - amandavack
"best foundation i've ever used. It's like a second layer skin and I can't even tell that I'm using foundation. Sometimes I have dry skin but unlike any other foundation I've used, it doesn't cake off or get oily, pricy but worth it." - rosabb
"I am a foundation addict, have purchased every high foundation on the market this one is a holy grail ... Applies beautifully, sets itself ..stays in place colour doesn't change ..finish is beautiful, more matte... But not flat....doesn't settle in large pores ... It's worth every cent." - Raehunter
How To Apply Foundation To Cover Wrinkles
Now that you know which foundation formula is the best for women over 40, it's time to learn how to apply foundation:
To start, makeup artists say you must prep the skin in order to achieve seamless foundation coverage. Before you dip into your new foundation, apply a moisturizer to give your skin the hydration it needs. "Dehydrated skin shows all the lines," dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe tells Good Housekeeping. "Makeup sticks to dry areas on the skin and even seeps into fine lines."
It doesn't hurt to apply a hydrating serum or primer after your moisturizer, too! "Apply a small amount of primer, about the size of a dime, to the center of your forehead, nose, each cheek, and chin, and then rub it in, focusing on the problem areas," says Caitlin Picou, a makeup artist and owner of Kismet, who recommends using a silicone-based primer for deep wrinkles.
Mature skin is more prone to dryness, which is why it's recommended to apply your foundation with a dampened makeup sponge. Josephine Fusco, a makeup artist and skincare expert, says that doing this will help you obtain sheer and flawless coverage.
It's easy to get carried away when using foundation, but beauty experts say you only need to apply it where you need it. It's also recommended to finish up with a rice powder-infused powder to hide wrinkles, minimize shine, and help makeup last longer.
