I wear foundation on most days. When I go for a medical treatment/procedure I don’t. I’ve worn foundation since I was 16 years old and use a treatment program for my skin since before then! As a lady from the South, I was taught at as early as 12 or 13 years of age to use a skin program. Then taught to use make-up at 16. I really believe this lays a good foundation for a life time of proper skin care and proper make-up application!! I’m 55 and have been wearing IT since my early 50’s!!

When purchasing makeup in a department store try to get a person whose own makeup looks good. I’m 76 and when I see an older sales person with matte makeup on, I know she will not make me look good. Always ask for samples, especially when buying expensive.

I have not used foundation since my thirties, and even then rarely because it made me itch and turned my skin red. I don’t put anything on my face but lotion or sunscreen with the fewest chemical ingredients as possible because my skin is so sensitive. Not bathing my face in chemicals has paid off, I’m 60 and look like 35…

Now in mid 40s, for my combination-oily skin I use NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moistturiser SPF 30 for daily wear.
For special occasions I use the Estee LauderDouble Wear LightSoft Matte Hydra Makeup mixed with moisturizer.

In reply to Susan. You should use a moisturizer with sunscreen like Aveda's tinted moisturizer. I use it with Boom Stick for color.

Nope. It makes my face feel dirty. Just a little concealer on the tip of my nose and the area from my nose to the corners of my mouth. One small stick of Cle de Peaul lasts a couple of years.

In reply to zaiyin. Try Barefaceminerals, they do not test on animals and their make up is so light you don’t feel as if you have make up on and their brushes are fantastic buy from amazon or Barefaceminerals.co.uk

Trick to good foundation is when someone says you have beautiful skin, and don’t even realize you’re wearing foundation. I use IT Cosmetics, discovered many years ago, and since wearing those are the comments I get even from strangers. IT stands for innovative technology and from the start of the small company they’ve used skin care experts, dermatologists and plastic surgeons to create a product that’s actually good for your skin.

I would be interested in knowing about strictly organic products and how effective they are. I do not use anything but organic cosmetics on my skin or on my hair these days. It would be really interesting to know if anyone has any recommendations for make- up – foundations, lipsticks, eyeshadow and so on as these are trickier to find than moisturisers and shampoo.

To help skin look good, use a good sunscreen, and drink lots of water. The extra water offers many other health benefits too … such as extra energy, and better kidney function. That’s my daily routine … for special occasions, I use a very light foundation, and brush it across uneven skin areas. Keep the lips moisturized – dried lips look old!

I use Sisley Paris Phyto Teint Eclat foundation over Hourglass Veil primer, and I get compliments all the time on my skin. (Not my makeup – my Skin!). I have tried Dior, Chanel, Hourglass, Laura Mercier, Lancôme foundations. There are a lot of good products out there, but what I have found is that matching the shade to your natural skin color is the most important factor in making your skin look natural. Although I loved some of the other oroducts’ Textures, none of the others matches my skin tone as well as Sisley. It looks like I don’t have any foundation on but that my own skin is that smooth! It’s horribly expensive ($122) but worth it! And Hourglass primer makes my skin fee so smooth and sleek, the foundation just slides on smoothly. I also have found that the tools you use to apply your foundation are very important. I use a good foundation brush followed by blotting with a sponge. Topping it all with Laura Mercier translucent setting powder and air ban Decay All Nighter spray makes it last all day!
