Most women over 40 think that they need a heavy foundation to mask fine lines and wrinkles. But for some, a lighter coverage formula can deliver better results. “Finding a foundation that melts into the skin is paramount for looking flawless and fresh,” makeup artist Fiona Stiles tells Allure. “Anything too heavy will settle into lines and do the opposite of what you’re looking for.”
Tired of always ending up with cakey foundation? We recommend switching to a hydrating tinted moisturizer that will help hide imperfections and leave your skin looking radiant and healthy.

Promising Kosas Foundation Reviews:
"Really great product. I was looking for something for “no makeup” days and I am beyond thrilled with how much I like this. I recently turned 30 and I was looking for something I could use daily that adds color to my face without being too much work in the morning. I have never found success with any tinted moisterizers/BB/CC creams out there. This really gives an amazing wash of color and coverage without looking like makeup. It is very light coverage, and I feel the oils hydrate my skin really nicely. I had read others had issues with pilling with this product - you have to wait until your moisturizer is fully absorbed and your skin is dry before applying. I use Tatcha’s Water Cream with the Drunk Elephant sunshine drops before applying this. I hope this never goes away because it really is a hold grail product. Great for aging skin particularly. Will continue to use daily." - kittykatq
"Unlike some other foundations, this one does not settle into fine lines or cake up. My complexion has changed over the years as I have aged, going from quite oily to more on the dry side, and I find this product to be quite moisturizing. That being said, even though other reviewers felt that this foundation worked best without moisturizer or primer, I have personally found that I am able to first layer my moisturizer, SPF, and primer on my face without any issues. Overall, it is a great foundation and I will definitely be repurchasing when I run out." - Llamamama2
"I still say to moisturize and use anything you normally would prior to foundation. This melts into skin and feels so good. I live in North Dakota where it gets -50 sometimes and the air is very drying to the skin. This instantly made my skin feel better it looks very nice and you can spot concealer over it with either concealer or another foundation. This does layer but I wouldn’t say the coverage gets that much better but I love this as a base for the summer and winter and really anytime you’re looking for a nice healthy glow and even skin tone. I am considered extremely fair and was surprised that the three was even quite light most foundation I wear ivory so if that’s you go with the three or four." - vainpain
