My Favorite Foundations for Mature Skin and Tips for smoother looking skin

[@yvonnebejarano8341]

Ok, I am 52. I wish there were more tutorials for women my age! I am tired of seeing 20 somethings tutorials for non-wrinkled skin. Thank you for tryung to teach me something new. I have ALWAYS taken great care of my skin but never learned how to do my makeup. Thank you.

[@lisajmakeup]

I’m so glad to hear! Thanks Yvonne!

[@iamnotjojo1]

I follow a lot of younger KZbin influencers, and I've noticed my makeup just not looking as good on me as it used to. I'm 36, and I've very recently acquired a lot of texture and pigmentation on my face. I finally had to realize that the foundations I used to love just won't work for me anymore. So, to my surprise, there's an entire genre of aging skin you tubers that I just discovered. I'm so happy about this, and it makes me feel better about myself knowing other women are having the same issue. Thank you so much for these videos. Also, fellow Austinite! That made my day

[@lisajmakeup]

Awww I am so glad to hear that! Thank you so much! :)

[@maren807]

That beginning quote is so true! I am 44 now but started using SPF on my face daily and staying out of the sun around age 16. I am so happy with my younger self for doing that! Thanks for these tips.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you so much Karen! Sounds like you were knowledgable at a young age!

[@marybeth23]

Oh Lisa dear! I really do appreciate this video for women with mature skin, but you're 34 with gorgeous skin!!! I'm 58 in three days, and while I do take care of my skin, stay out of the sun, use spf, etc., like you said, the aging process can't be avoided. As I age I find less is more. Just enough to bring out the natural beauty is enough. You are so pretty, thank you for sharing some good reminders to keep it real.

[@janicegaidusek5607]

Thank you, I am 65 and still learning. Now I have time to mess around with makeup. Need more for us older people. God bless.

[@cherylwebb8340]

janice gaidusek you look great!

[@dodie6197]

Thank you for this. I'm a 50 year old who loves makeup but alot of the makeup tutorials are for 20 something's not mature women.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you for watching Dodie! I'm happy to hear this was helpful.

[@The2ragdolls]

I’m with you but I’m 71 - such a dilemma

[@doveparadise937]

I adore that Tarte oil. I got a sample of it and it's become they one thing I use every single day. I no longer have dry patches, and I never break out from it. It absorbs fast enough and it doesn't leave my son feeling like anything other than my skin once it's been absorbed

[@lisajmakeup]

Nice! I need to try it more often! You re the second person to say that about it. Thanks for watching!

[@lgrillo]

I had a giggle at a 34-year-old talking about the best options for aging and mature skin given that I am 65. It’d be great to see those foundations applied onto the skin of a woman with real wrinkles and age spots and see how they look/wear. That said, the points are valid, and I completely agree about the IT Cosmetics CC cream. I often try new options but always go back to that one. Thanks for the tips.

[@ruthfoley]

Great video, I've recently come to the realisation that I need to step away from the matte and full Coverage foundations as they were doing me no favours. Same goes for baking. For me it was Highlighting my crows feet and drying out my undereyes. I've also learned to be a bit more concise with my highlighter application!

[@lisajmakeup]

Me too Ruth! Me too! Less is more!

[@ChrisInRB]

Thank

[@suezy1969]

Ruth Foley same here!!! @ 48 I can’t do matte w/out a beauty oil and cant out it under my eyes. I also cant find any primers that work for me without them balling up or pilling on parts of my face! And no way can I bake lol ages me by 10yrs!! And yes less is more! I do very light then build up if needed.

[@annagalati34]

I use IT cosmetics and it is fantastic. Blurs lines and wrinkles and minimizes pores and feels light. I am 54 and people comment that I don't look past 40.

[@thedisconnectedwife4165]

I'm 52 and I just love love love Laura Geller Baked Balance and Brighten. It's different than most other powder foundations. I also pair it with the baked bronzer and baked blush and brighten. After I'm done and give it all a good spritz with setting spray, it's just like magic the way it melts into the skin and becomes one with it. It's the most natural looking.. look I've been able to find for me at my age.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thanks! i haven't heard much about that one... what setting spray do you use and what do you use to apply it? I would love to find a powder foundation like this.

[@Rachel_Ryder]

You are beautiful. I’m 36 and I find my age range is terribly underrepresented in the beauty community. Thank you for being straightforward and concise. Subscribed.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you Rachel! xoxo

[@Vivienvixen]

No matter what foundation I try, I reach most for the L'oreal pro glow...It never lets my >50y/o face down and lasts >12hrs. Thank you for your time. :-)

[@lisajmakeup]

Love that one so much!

[@caracorson6067]

[@glynismaruk8329]

After watching your channel a while I "splurged" and bought Face Atelier. At 60 years I felt I deserved it! Thank you so much for all the advice, as I will never go back to drug store foundation again! I received great compliments from my hairdresser as well.

[@lisajmakeup]

Oh yay!!! I love hearing feedback like this! Thank you for sharing! I'm trying some of their other products soon and plan to film a video using them and review them.

[@glynismaruk8329]

Thank you again and I for sure will keep up!

[@mompitarissa5902]

oh!! the Tarte Maracuja oil is amazing!!!!! I'm 43 and it makes my skin look healthy and helps with fine lines..my teen son uses it on his occasional pimples ..he has oily skin and mine is dry..we both use it and love it!!

[@lisajmakeup]

+Mom PitaRissa nice!! I need to try it more often!

[@inahogg8612]

[@eunicegomez2020]

Yes, Maracuja oil is a game changer. I apply it at night treatment (even under the eyes). And then again in the morning (thin layer) after I spray my face with a mist (Mario Badescu). Keeps my fave soft and my make up sticks to it.

[@michellerhodes5477]

I know this video is old but I sought it out because I love your content. As a 40 yo, this was amazing and the video went into my favorites. Also, I recently tried the Garnier SkinActive BB cream and it was awesome for my aging skin. I'm great with my skincare and I know I could look much older but I'm 40 so I do have fine lines and wrinkles. Every foundation does go into those lines and wrinkles but some make them look worse than others. That Garnier SkinActive BB cream gave me exactly what I'm looking for.

[@lisajmakeup]

That’s so good to hear! Thank you so much Michelle for watching!

[@beautyintheboondocks4497]

Hi Lisa, I really enjoy your videos!!!!! I've found a lot of the makeup techniques used by young women work exceptionally well on older women. I had a client who was 93. The dewy look was so beautiful on her. She loved getting dolled up every day😆

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you Lisa!

[@atoaster631]

Please do more videos like this, with other products. This is by far the most helpful I’ve ever seen.

[@carolf7669]

Everyone starts to see little signs of aging here & there as they go through life. THEN one day BAM!!! Everyday there's something new that wasn't there yesterday. I'm 56 yrs old & just started to see a lot of aging in my skin. Good skin care my whole life & SUNSCREEN! Thank you for yr tips I had a couple Aha moments.... you're great!

[@lisajmakeup]

+Carol F thank you Carol!

[@CMarxen75]

Just found your channel and I love your videos! It is so wonderful to have women to watch that share some of the same concerns and skin care/ makeup needs! You are beautiful and I wouldn't have guessed that you were in your 30s! You go girl! My 42 year old face has struggled finding the right combo of skin care and complexion products....but I am obsessed with the new Covergirl Healthy Elixir foundation! Can't put it down!

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you Christi! Don't you love when you find a good drugstore foundation? They have come a long way over the last few years!

[@smailliwKS86]

So happy to find a fellow KZbinr in her 30's!!!! Good luck with your channel!!!

[@lisajmakeup]

Thanks girl! You too!

[@paigehammond6752]

I loved this video ❤️ Although I’m 23 I decided to watch your video to see what you had to say about textured skin. I have a lot of pitted acne and every time I attempt to purchase foundation they try to shove SUPER heavy, matte product.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you Paige! Have you found one you like? that's the tricky thing about textured skin... full coverage conceals discoloration but it usually makes any texture on the skin more obvious. I think people have a misconception that full coverage will hide texture but it only hides discoloration.

[@ShanGooFan]

I just found your channel & am loving your videos. I’m almost 50 and my skin looks horrible with most foundations. The IT CC Cream is a winner. I recently discovered the Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder foundation & it is beautiful on aging skin. It has a beautiful glow without being too much and doesn’t sit in fine lines or wrinkles.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you so much Shannon! :) I am so glad my videos are helpful. :) I need to try that Charlotte Tilbury foundation

[@bwgayoso]

Your video has been very helpful! I'm turning 50 this year and can't believe how difficult it has been to find a foundation that won't accent all my fine lines. I will try some of the foundations that you suggest. Thanks again!

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you! Let me know which you try and what you think!

[@mompitarissa5902]

The Loreal Pro Glow has become my holy grail. I use a flat top foundation brush and I can get full coverage ..I do use a beauty blender to help sheer it out if I need to. I just love the finish, the color , etc..

[@lisajmakeup]

+Mom PitaRissa I love it too!

[@trobinson32]

Yes on the tip for applying the oil to your full coverage foundation. I make my own tho, essential oils and Rose hip as my carrier. I can't justify paying so much for certain oils. Amazon is my best friend when it comes to buying the essential oils for my serum. They sell the Amber bottles with the dropper also. Super easy, fresh and custom for your skin type. Just you tube the best anti aging oils for whatever skin issues you have.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you Tina! I want to learn more about essential oils!

[@Andrea-mg9py]

Hi, I’m sixty and have changed to a BB cream. Some concealer, no powder and a cream blusher. More is less as we age xx

[@lisajmakeup]

Sounds like a great combo! Thanks Andrea :)

[@angelamarkopoyloy7546]

Cream blush is definitely much better.i use bb and cc too

[@cathymccanta566]

Lisa, I just found you and your channel. I'm so happy that I did! I'm in my early 50's, and find it difficult to relate to all the 20 somethings that talk about makeup here. You gave me more helpful information in this one video than I've seen in a years worth of videos on KZbin. Thank you so much for your expertise!

[@lisajmakeup]

Aww, thank you Cathy! I am so happy this video was helpful for you!

[@patriciagimay9195]

Thanking you Lisa for answering and explaining. Just found your videos today. Looking forward to trying to improve with age. I'm 68 BUT I have taken care all my life of my skin and have sunscreen for over 30 years and NEVER but NEVER sat with my face in the sun. BUT I'm always looking and learning for new products to be fresh for my age. I have green eyes like you and thought that the colors in the video made your eyes pop. Lovely. Purple too can do this for our color. THANK YOU look forward to learning with you. Beauty has no age. Everyone at every age has their own lovely beauty. Blessings.

[@dblwdprd]

I just turned 37 and have struggled with finding the right foundation since having my son 5 yrs ago. I subbed girl! Teach me!👍

[@lisajmakeup]

+Lisa M. Hi Lisa! Isn't it crazy how much our skin changes after kids? Not sure if it's hormones, stress or exhaustion but I feel like I've aged more the last 5 years than the 10 before it.

[@gracieharper3665]

I do not need this! I'm still 21!... ok, fine. I totally needed this! 🤣 Great video! I love your channel! 😍

[@lisajmakeup]

Thanks Gracie!! :)

[@TheHouseOfGray]

Josie Maran foundation because it is very thin , lightweight and mixed with argan oil and the Loreal Infallable foundation is great for my aging 52 year old dry crepy skin. I have other foundation but yes on this one. You are preaching to the choir! Women, everything Lisa is saying is right on!!!

[@lisajmakeup]

Thanks girl!!!

[@gianaloves]

THANK YOU for making this video!! I am on a mission to find good recommendations for my mom and help her feel beautiful, as her tried and true go-to makeup products don't work for her skin anymore. You are so wonderful!!

[@lisajmakeup]

Aww, thank you Giana! I hope find some great products for her... let me know what ends up working well for her.

[@MV-nn7wu]

Hi Lisa. Such a helpful video. I've been using the Josie Maran for about 2 months and it's one of my favourites. I'm 51, have dry skin and it applies wonderfully. The L'Oreal Pro Glow, is pretty similar and a lot less expensive and works great, as well.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thanks for watching! So glad you love these too! I've been wearing the Josie Maran recently again.. its so beautiful and covers so well. Not overly dewy either. Love it!

[@RockeyToes]

Although I love the convenience of a BB or CC cream, makeup alone will not protect you from sun damage, it does not contain the necessary SPF to protect the skin as per the number on the bottle. In order to get the protection labeled on the bottle, you need to apply enough sunscreen. For the face, this means applying about a quarter size (or 1 teaspoon of sunscreen). If you apply less than 1 teaspoon, the SPF value gets diluted out so instead of SPF 50, you get SPF 25 or 30. Great video!

[@lisajmakeup]

Thanks Elizabeth! Great info, thank you for sharing!

[@donnaspurling9176]

Tom Ford Traceless, Dior Nude Skin Glowing are beautiful for dry, mature skin. I also have & love. YSL Radiance Awakening Foundation, Makeup Forever, Armani Luminous Silk. Love your tutorials.

[@lisajmakeup]

Great! Thank you so much Donna!

[@mermaidunicornbeauty]

The aging process does not start until about mid twenties, learning that, was what made me quit smoking. You are still growing and developing in your teens to early twenties.

[@ruthelator]

I'm 58 with oily skin, big pores, and wrinkles at forehead and chin. I like the Lumene CC cream. Medium shade is actually medium-light. It is lightweight, non-greasy, medium coverage.

[@CynVee]

Just found this video. Wondering if you would change out any of these choices in 2019. Still perfect timing as I am 61 and am finding that my old favs are no longer working for me. Think I'll try the Face Atelier. Sounds perfect! I love you you say, "I need to stop babbeling" and then keep babbeling! I'm the same way. 😉 😘😘

[@MsAward999]

Love your saying. . . The skin God gave vs the skin you've earned! So true. I'm over 50 and grew up in the tanning with baby oil time so I've definitely earned my skin. Lol

[@lisajmakeup]

lol! I worked at a Tanning Salon in high school. Bad, bad, bad! I was baking myself so foolishly!

[@halfleftdawn725]

Just discovered Clinique "Even Better - Glow" and I love it!!! I'm 40 and haven't worn foundation for years because it made me look older... Anyone else tried it?

[@lisajmakeup]

I haven't tried that one. I will have to add it to my list. What do you love about it?

[@erinjanda5851]

I would love if you would do a video on how to pair lipstick with your eye look! When it I am all done my makeup and comes to adding lipstick I am always like I have no idea what shade I should put on! Is there an easy rule of thumb for this? Love all your videos!

[@beverleyroberts1025]

Shiseido Radiant Lifting foundation, I love it, it has a slight dewy, satin finish, and looks beautiful on the skin, for all ages but especially on mature skin. And using less foundation is a better look 😄

[@chasebs1]

Beverley Roberts I have used this for yrs it is my favourite, a beautiful foundation and nobody ever mentions it

[@lilianamarquez420]

Hello, this is my first time on your channel! I loved all your tips and suggestions for foundations. I just want to mention another one to you! It's my personal favorite! It's drugstore, a serum foundation from Physicians Formula: Youthful Wear Spotless Foundation. I absolutely love this and no matter what ELSE I might be trying, I ALWAYS go back to it! The only drawback is that PF doesn't give many choices when it comes to shades. Only 4!!! Light, Light Med., Medium, and Medium Deep.

[@lisajmakeup]

+Liliana Marquez hi Liliana! Thank you!! I'll check this one out! I've never heard about it.

[@kathybrinn7469]

Thank you for this video!! I wore he IT CC cream for a year and love it but it caused me to break out. I didn't put the connection together until I ran out and my face cleared up! So now, I am on the look out for a new foundation. I am 57 and have mature skin so thank you!!

[@lisajmakeup]

Kathy, try the Face Atelier.. its so beautiful!

[@SchreeSR]

I realize this video os over a year old but loved it. I started using the ND Face Glow Foundation. I’m 49 but fortunately I’ve always taken care of my skin.

[@happytrails699]

Maybelline Dream Cushion is my favorite foundation for my 57 yr old skin. Less is best and I prefer dewy liquid products over powders.

[@lisajmakeup]

Oh yes! Thats a good one! How do you apply it? With a brush, beauty blender or the applicator?

[@happytrails699]

I've tried the bb but actually prefer the applicator sponge it come with.

[@CarriedAwayWithDolls]

Great video. One powder foundation that does look great on mature skin is Bareminerals. Alot of people that first try it aren't applying it correctly. And a lot of people dont know that when blended into the skin properly it warms up and turns into a cream. It has a very fresh satin finish.

[@lisajmakeup]

Great! Thank you so much!

[@melindadowney4087]

Great video Lisa! Love what you said about having the skin that we earn as we grow older, so true! I'm 54 and have realized that less is more as we age. I use the GA foundation and always get compliments on my skin. Would love to see a tutorial on your eyeshadow in this video, it's beautiful! Thanks 😊

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you Melinda! I absolutely LOVE the GA foundation on all skins but especially on mature skin! its so beautiful, and light but great coverage!

[@suecone2198]

This was great! I am in my 70’s and still love doing makeup even though some of my friends have given it up or never used it because the “natural look” was better. LOL I do love the It CC makeup but I do still apply a sunscreen first. I always apply sunscreen to my neck but just blend the CC down my jaw to my neck so I don’t have makeup all over my clothes. I always use a setting spray and the one I use in the winter has an oil in it which is great. I don’t like the oil in the summer as it adds to much. Thanks 😍

[@lisajmakeup]

Love that! I imagine I will be the same way!

[@pinkhoney6810]

I ordered and just received yesterday the faceatelier foundation!! Got so many compliments at work how glowing my skin looked!!! Thank you thank you!! I'm "near" 50 lol.

[@lisajmakeup]

:) Thanks Chrissy!

[@ActionForAging]

My channel is for those over the age of 50, but addresses living that season with intentional action (not mainly beauty). My dermatologist speaks of "earned" skin as well, and makes the point that NOTHING looks better on us than "wearing" our skin in its natural (not sun damaged) skin. Having had skin cancer, I couldn't agree more. I keep hearing good things about the Infallible foundation. Just purchased (and really like) the Covergirl Vitalist Healthy Elixir Foundation, and really like it on my 52 year old skin (maybe not as much as I like the IT Cosmetics BB, though). Giving this a THUMBS UP. Peace! ~Toni 💋

[@lisajmakeup]

Thanks Toni! I agree 100%! I'll check out your channel!

[@terrydunn3139]

This is the first time I have seen your channel and enjoyed it. I wrote down some of your suggestions. When I checked on the price they didn’t fit in my budget. I’m 66 and I would enjoy seeing more affordable makeup that will work and look good on mature skin.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you Terry! I really like Loreal Pro Glow from the drugstore for mature skin.. its very pretty and is not too dewy or matte yet gives good coverage

[@marykelly6187]

CoverGirl 3in1 Outlast Fabulous Foundation is indeed just that. Really great - primer, concealer, foundation. However I've used DHC USA Velvet Skin Coat which has been around since before anyone heard the word primer. It is SO good I have to wear it even if a product says they have concealer. But CoverGirl knocked it out of the park with their new 3in1. Gotta try it. Gonna love it.

[@lisajmakeup]

OHHH!!! Thank you!!! I'll pick this up this week!

[@shannonm.4087]

Lisa J I love to mix one part of cover girl 3 in1 stay fabulous with 2 parts L'oreal pro glow, I am 47 and had to change everything at age 40!! I love long wear, but need moisture too!!

[@andrealb82]

Omgosh thank you!! I'm 32 and have been freaking out trying to keep up with my makeup! I am still trying to figure out what I can use to minimize my dark circles and wrinkles on my eyes...

[@lisajmakeup]

Hi Andrea! I know what you mean.. I'm not sure if it was my 30s or having kiddos but I feel like my skin has changed so much the last few years.

[@andrealb82]

Lisa J, if possible could you do a video for under eye coverage? I get very little sleep so tend to get dark circles but can't cover them without calling attention to the little bags and wrinkles as well. Or maybe an eye product to help reduce the "Mombie" eyes...I'm so happy I ran into your videos!

[@twixxmiles]

andrealb82 I have the Becca under eye brightener, it is the one in the jar with the pink slightly shimmery lid. It works wonders! No creasing. I just go in very lightly and it is sooo good. Durring the week day, I get 2-1/2 to 3 hours of sleep, so I really need the "awake look"

[@constancecolburn6447]

What age is considered ‘mature skin’ I’m 34 3 kids and hardly get any sleep lol

[@brookeannie6132]

Really glad I watched this. I'm 28 and I've been noticing fine lines around my forehead and laugh lines. I just invested in the luminous silk foundation during the VIB sale and was wondering if it was worth the money but if it looks as good on me as it does you then it's definitely worth it!

[@lisajmakeup]

So what do you think of the Luminous Silk?

[@brookeannie6132]

I love it!!! Before I was using the Born this way foundation and I really liked it but the Luminous silk foundation blows that one out of water!! 😁😍

[@lisajmakeup]

Yay!!! Yes, its such a pretty foundation!

[@rzeiner2010]

Yay! It Cosmetics is my go to! 😁 Been using it for years 👍🏻 I think I'd like to try the L'Oreal Infallible 🤗

[@TracyD2]

Stress took a toll on me these past 4 years. Terrible tragedies. One day I looked in the mirror and I was like "Good God!" Fortunately I was able to undo some of the damage through skincare. I have the Giorgio Armani, the L'Oréal pro glow, the It Cosmetics and the MUF powder. Must try the atelier and Josie Maran. Brilliant minds think alike.

[@lisajmakeup]

Oh I am so sorry to hear that! I hope life is giving you a break these days!

[@TracyD2]

Thank you yes. Much better.

[@susansimpson72]

:) I was shocked I used everything mentioned but 1 fouundation..I personally find the It CC Cream full coverage or med to full and mainly during summer as it wants to sweat off..I love the Josie Maran foundation and anything she makes, my Lord look at her, she is just beautiful. Her skin care for the face the Argan milk, face butter and oil will turn skin around..I always get the QVC big 190z tub of body butter twice a year love the peppermint! IT makes a great eyeshadow palettee anti aging no tugging and healthier ..I have been leaning in the summer toward the Too Faced "Born This Way Foundation" in Warm Nude..it tends to sweat less, be enough coverage but natural looking and you can barely feel it..OMG and has anyone tried that BECCA backlit primer! I have fell in love with that stuff...I think what we like and all our techniques will be different depending on our God given genes, how we cared for our skin, like with me I've been through a lot of cancer treatment for 7 years - hard to do make -up anymore..I am 45 Aug 21, 17...no matter what we like and tips and tricks it is great we are here to share them!

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

The routine that works best for me is after washing my face (gently with a clean wash cloth for daily exfoliation) is putting on my serum and oils, giving those about 5 minutes to absorb, then going in with my moisturizer and eye cream, for a final barrier. Then, and here the most important part, is leaving my skin alone for at least 15 minutes and then going in with a primer, makes my foundation sit on my skin beautifully!! No matter what foundation, it sits the best if I let all of my skin care and moisturizing products absorb first. I’ve tried the Argan oil with my foundation but no matter what foundation I use the oil with it eventually causes the foundation to break up and cake. Has not worked for me ever. So getting my skin care right before I go in with primer & makeup is the best formulation for me. I can even use the new Maybelline Superstay using my routine, in a thin layer of course, it sits beautifully on my 44 year old skin!

I'm heading straight to the Face Atelier website! it looks like your bottle had a PETA symbol on it, and I only buy cruelty free. So excited to check out this brand based on your recommendation!!!

Lisa J I ordered samples of 3 shades. I'm pretty sure I'm a 3, but want to try 2 and 4 as well, just to be sure. Love that they have samples!

[@lisajmakeup]

Please come back here and let me know what you think!

[@gailarneman4771]

Lisa, I liked this, thank you. You gave me a few extra tips, and I agreed right away with the moisturizer base--it blends the make-up so much easier. And blending is most of the art.

[@lisajmakeup]

I am glad this was helpful Gail! xoxo Have a great weekend.

You look so young. I am 48 and I use IT C CC with their powder. I have huge pores and they help enormously. But they transfer on phone, clothes, and. tiny kids hands and cheeks rub it off. I need to try the Armani. Really interested in how it would wear. I apply my foundation with the tip of my fingers. I use the By Terry primer and that is the only one that makes my foundation sit well. I have tried so many! Excellent video thank you.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you Agnes! I am really interested in the By Terry products... have you tried any other products?

[@Agi1969]

Yes loads. For primer I have tried the Estee Lauder, Benefit, UD spray, IT Cosmetics serum (did not like it because of the Vit-C opens up my pores instead of concealing them). The By Terry softens the skin and it is very light. It also has a sheer layer that doesn't roll off like the Benefit or any other silicone product but smooths the skin. I love the First Aid Cosmetics cream for oily skin as well. It helps to plump the skin without any residue so it preps the skin and doesn't interact with the foundation. At the moment I am testing the Tarte Shape Tape concealer and so far so good. I am surprised by it because the consistency is similar to the IT Cosmetics that tends to sit in the crease unless I powered the heck out of it. I also like the Benefit Stay Don't Stray concealer. I use it either under the IT C concealer or on its own if I am not too tired. I have awful, and I mean awful, racoon eyes.

[@bas9490]

IT's CC Creams will transfer while the foundation will not.

[@thecuriouswifeandmom9022]

Hi Lisa, i do own a couple of foundations. Wanted to know how will i know what foundations to mix. Some of the foundations i choose is sometimes to light or to dark. I have no signs of aging yet and i just turned 44 and people think I’m 29 years old. I just started wearing make up so i still have lots to learn. Thanks Lisa for your wonderful videos. I enjoy your through explanations. Have a awesome day.

[@marisapina-cotton9920]

Lisa thank for these tips ! I appreciate that you went over which foundations work best with mature skin but can you please make a video on moisturizers and concealers

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you so much Marisa! I will definitely keep those in mind! :)

[@VikkiBounds]

One of my top favorite drugstore foundations is the Infallible matte. Idk why it didn't occur to me to try the Dewey version now that I'm wanting to go that route? Used the IT CC cream years ago. Do remember liking it.

[@renaebrook5331]

Lisa GREAT VIDEO....aging is imo a priviledge (sp)not given to everyone which is sad..my mother who passed away at the young age of 62 had skin of a 30 year old...barely any wrinkiles and smooth as a babies bottom.....(and yet I have dry, sensitive skin with rosacea...go figure) was surprised I did not see the wet n wild foundation....that is a good one and one thing I have learned the hard way is that I MUST apply any foundation with a beauty blender...a brush smears it and tends to bring up my dry patches like nobodys business......will wait for the Sephora 20% and try the GA foundation.....btw mac and cover fv will be at ulta I believe in may....woot woot.....cant wait...

[@lisajmakeup]

+Renae Brook hey girl!!! So true! Aging is a privilege! I can't believe MAC will be in Ulta- that is so crazy to me for some reason- but so awesome!

[@sarahstroud6021]

you look like you are in your twenties now!! thanks for this video, if they make me look as good as you i will try them!!

[@lisajmakeup]

+Sarah Stroud aww! Thanks lady!!! 34 right here! Xoxo

[@AnniePBeautyDefyingAge]

i just started my channel not realizing how many mature women actually have a channel. I love it. It's fun to become a part of the youtube family..lol

[@lisajmakeup]

I'll check you out! I love this community

[@Dwightinho56]

Oh Boy, you have no idea what kind of challenges is ahead of you when you really get mature skin. Apart from that, totally agree with your tips.

[@lisajmakeup]

+Dwightinho56 thanks!! I do a lot of wedding makeup so I've learned over the years when working on more mature skin/ any tricks I missed that work for you?

[@scillah4453]

I've been wearing Born This Way the last few weeks and like it. It does settle some in the pores, but I get complements when I use it. I use Laura Mercier brightening under my eyes and her reg powder for my face. I also like the Ben Nye cameo powder. The Pro-Glow and IT shows all of my redness on my chin and wears off easily. Maybe I need a different powder with those. Thank you for your recommendations. I will try some of those.

[@lisajmakeup]

+Scilla H I haven't tried the born this way yet, but I think I need to try that Ben Nye powder! How did you hear about it?

[@scillah4453]

Lisa J, my daughter told me about it. I order it through Amazon. I prefer the cameo luxury powder. She has the pink and yellow powders. It is finely milled. I use it as a setting powder for my face. If I feel the need for a finishing powder, I will grab the Laura Mercier translucent.

[@amycarter9828]

I have spent a lot of money on foundations. But so far I think Becca foundation is the best. I am 35 with 3 kids.

[@makayla8693]

Hi Amy

[@d.c.brothers7699]

The first 2 foundations are my favorite! Can't wait to try your other suggestions.

[@lisajmakeup]

Let me know what you think when you do! :)

[@sandyj7917]

Hi Lisa just found you looking for recommendation for dry skin make up, ok I'm 73 retired usually follow older You Tubers but when you said you worked with " grandmas" clicked...basically using IT CC , L'Oréal you showed and just got Physicians Cushion Mineral, I'm not looking to be 30 looking just a fresh look, primer, tried adding oils, nothing seems to look like I'm not wearing make up, settles into dry spots. How do you determine if you have pink or yellow undertones....l never know a shade unless it's light/ med ...looking forward to more videos

[@lisajmakeup]

Hi Sandy! What skincare do you use? Do you use something really rich and hydrating just before you apply your makeup? Have you tried the Giorgio Armani luminous silk? Also, how do you apply your foundation? Do you use a brush or a beauty blender or your fingers? I would recommend a beauty blender (damp) and press the product into your skin so it really blends in and doesn't just sit on top of your skin, later moving around and settling in your dry spots

[@sandyj7917]

Lisa J At 73 I have run The gamut of high to low end products Estee, Clinique, to Olay etal you adjust as you age, I have jojoba, almond, vitamin C, I apply fingers, beauty blender, brushes, I love a smooth look, have not many lines, my problem is color match, gone to make up Bobbi Brown, Sephora, Estee they seem to not get a match that doesn't look as nice as Wayne Goss is face lol....so retired not going the high end for everyday. For now I go BB or CC, tried Elf, Wetand Wild, IT, Benefit, how do you determine whether your a warm or cool tone. My second quest is lipstick, used to wear colors now only a nude lip is my go to. By the way the picture of me is current. Thank you for input, subscribe to a " younger" gal just for a fresh opinion.

[@ammieraymer8741]

Sandy Jaffe have you tried the Creme De La Mer by La Mer? It is pricey but well worth it. my face gets so dry, especially in the winter. This has save my skin. It also contains anti-aging init.

[@nualacanavan418]

Sandy Jaffe l

[@recynd77]

Sandy Jaffe You might try the IT O2; I like it better than the CC foundation.

[@Juleaf8]

Great video! First time watcher of your videos here...I'm 39 and I love pro glow for everyday. I would love to try the Josie Maran or Giorgio Armani foundation. I use the makeup forever foundation and powder for nights out or special occasions.

[@lisajmakeup]

Hi! Thank you for watching! Which Makeup Forever foundation do you like?

[@Juleaf8]

Lisa J I use makeup forever HD foundation. It's a bit more coverage than my everyday wear, but I don't feel like it's too heavy. I also use a beauty blender to apply so it goes on a bit lighter than if I used a brush.

[@KaraLey98]

Lisa, this was a GREAT video, and please do not feel the need to be "more concise" (like you said) because I would rather have you feeling relaxed and natural! ☺

[@lisajmakeup]

Aww, thank you Kara! xoxo

[@MzVicky]

At the moment, I mix L'Oréal Lumi and Estée Lauder Doublewear. That's my favorite for my 57 year old skin. Of course I may change my mind in a month.

[@lisajmakeup]

That sounds like it would be a great combo! Long wearing and not too glowy and not too heavy or matte looking.

[@SassySandyification]

Hi Lisa. Just subscribed. I'm a mature woman and take very good care of my skin. Found your video very helpful. Right now my favorite foundation/CC cream is from It Cosmetics,. Love it. I also use the Infallible as well. Keep those helpful videos coming. 😊

[@lisajmakeup]

Love those 2 too!!! Thank you for watching and subscribing!

[@lindsayculver2855]

Great tips! Thank you! I’m 44 and have some fine lines, especially around my eyes. I’ve tried every type of concealer and they all settle into the lines. I just want to brighten under the eye without highlighting the lines.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thanks Lindsay!

[@angelamarkopoyloy7546]

Try YSL

[@lisabowers4838]

I ordered the Face Atelier foundation today!! I'm so excited!

[@lisajmakeup]

Oh yay! Let me know what you think Lisa! :)

[@lisabowers4838]

Lisa J I love it! It’s a beautiful foundation. Makes my skin look so smooth and pretty. 👍

[@marylebeau679]

Love the quick videos to the point and that is what you do!!!!

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you Mary! xoxo

[@bethhollingsworth3478]

ALSO for women who had a botched eyelid surgery with ugly scars on the crease of our lids. Thank you.

[@stephvelez1758]

Have tried the Chanel Cc cream? I like it more than the It Cosmetics one. I'm in my late 40's so I enjoy all your tips. I'm a Texas girl also! 😊

[@lisajmakeup]

I haven't! But now I want to!!!!

[@emmawhite106]

I realize this is an older video but I am hoping you will see this and share what color you wear in the GA Luminous silk. I love this foundation but have such a hard time getting a color match. I know we wear the same shade in Estée Lauder doublewear. Thanks!

[@theresas2520]

I really like Mary Kay. They have 2 foundations one is matte for oily skin. They have dewy for dry skin. They have spf in them as well.

[@lisajmakeup]

Great! Thank you so much Theresa!

[@MrJborn2008]

Lisa, I'm so glad I found your channel!! I enjoy the mix of information and product reviews. Many youtubers are all about the products and I do enjoy that also but i am always interested in how I can make my skin and makeup look better. I have mature skin and really like the Estee Lauder Double Wear but i do moisturize well and use a setting spray. Thanks for the great information!

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you so much Julie! :)

[@leslienieves6057]

Watching so I can do my moms makeup. 💕

[@lisajmakeup]

Aww, that's nice! I did my mom's makeup recently on my channel! I hope this video helps!
