Celebrity makeup artists weigh in on the best foundations for mature skin:

From $42 at Nordstrom Buy From $42 at Sephora Buy Best drugstore foundation for mature skin L’Oréal Visible Lift Serum Absolute $11 In the affordable realm, makeup artist Nick Barose favors this “super-hydrating serum formula.” In addition to the hydration, he says, “it covers imperfections, and your skin always looks lit from within.” It also has the addition of a mild retinol ingredient and vitamin C to help it improve the appearance of skin at a deeper level.
$40 at Sephora Buy Best foundation with a velvety finish for mature skin Armani Designer Lift Foundation If you’re after a finish that’s more velvety — meaning less glow-y or dewy — Barose is all about this liquid formula by Armani. “It blends like a second skin, blurs lines, and sets to a nice velvety finish, which helps avoid creasing,” he says. A bonus: It also has a subtle lifting and firming effect.
$60 at Bloomingdale’s Buy Best long-wear foundation for mature skin NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation If you’re feeling overwhelmed by foundation choices, Bass’s advice is to look for key words like “hydrating” or “luminous,” which are a boon for skin at any age, but especially when you’re older. “Formulas with words like these tend to help bring back the glow that we lose over time,” says Bass.
