Over the years, you’ll start to find that the same foundation you used in your twenties or thirties doesn’t quite cut it any more.
So, while we can’t escape the changes our skin will go through, we can choose products that don’t exaggerate our issues and instead, make us feel more confident than ever.
After applying a hydrating serum or moisturiser for glowing skin and laying strong supports with a primer, a great foundation is the base of all good makeup looks. If you’re noticing your skin has become drier, more lined, or prone to pigmentation, then it might be time to switch your base to a product that suits your personal concerns.
Nourishing foundation formulas are better for mature skin, so here are some visibly plumping and hydrating beauties that promise not to settle into fine lines.
