    Remember as well if you buy one of the heavier foundations (EL doublewear or a cheaper alternative of Revlon Colourstay) you can mix it with moisturiser or even a highlighter to make it more sheer and more customised:)

    I'm not over 60 but I do have fine lines. I find that a liquid foundation when mixed up with filler-type serums (Olay do one, think its regenerist or something, soap and glorey do one also).

    I'd apply my moisturiser, allow it to settle for about 20 mins then mix with a brush some liquid foundation with some of the serum about 50-50. It does look like its not working at first but give it about 30 mins and it settles and looks much better.

    I'd also youtube for videos if you want further tips, its whats helped me in the past.

    I tried this today and what a huge difference! I had a sample of the olay one which I had tried by using it the way they direct but didn't like it, this morning I mixed it 50-50 with Revlon Colourstay and your right at first it looks watery but when it dries and settles properly its lovely, I can feel that its set though but it looks very natural and just better, fine and deeper lines are definitely softened, it will be interesting to see how it last through the day.

    Thanks Jen:Dexcellent advice as always:)
