6 Foundations Every Woman Over 40 Should Be Using
May 6, 2018 by Emily Belfiore
It’s hard to achieve the perfect glam without foundation. After all, the product is designed to help turn your face into an even, flawless canvas.
Everyone has a foundation brand or formula that they swear by, but once you hit 40, your skin requires a little bit more from your foundation. For example, you need something hydrating that will help blur fine lines and wrinkles and correct any dryness. And, you may need a little bit more coverage than you used to in your 20s or 30s. Your skin gets thinner as you age, and that can result in uneven texture and dullness.
Anti-Aging FoundationsThankfully, there are so many amazing foundations out there that deliver the skin-perfecting ingredients you need to help maintain your complexion’s natural radiance–and boost it a little, too! “Foundation can add back color and depth,” New York City-based makeup artist Sandy Linter tells Prevention.
When shopping for a new foundation, Jeannette Graf, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital, suggests opting for warmer undertone shades as they are universally-flattering and will help you obtain a more youthful-looking complexion. She also notes that broken capillaries also start to pop up more often in aging skin, and yellow or golden undertones can help balance out the redness caused by them.
