Foundation at 50

aggypanthus

Sigh..I think I look worse with foundation now at 50, it sinks in and shows of wrinkles round the eyes,using touch eclat under it looks bad too.
When I have to put a face on, I use avon powder stuff, the mineral type..still not great.

My younger and elder sis almost 60 have great skin..but they can afford fancy products!

I'm not quite 50 (hanging on to being 43 for a few more days yet!) and for everyday I used No7 tinted moisturiser. It's nice and light.

I also usually put a little of Avon's mineral powder on top.

i have the added prob of wearing the old fashiond gas permeable lenses and have trouble with powdery bits getting in the eye.. putting on shadow is tricky whichever way I try, putting a base all over to set the shadow on is just too much gunk arouind the eyes for me.
not tried tinted moisturiser ever .. cant convince myself it will work. i use no7 base products.
if only we were back in our teens and have girly sleepovers and make up swaps ! i recall getting rimmel shadow stick for 30p ! white was popular for discos !

I am in my 50s and i also found foundation to much for my skin. The one i am using at the moment is No7 Beautiful Skin BB Cream in medium for dry/very dry skin. I am really liking it. If you have got a really nice Boots No7 counter they will help you and maybe give you a sample to try at home.

Im 50 and have been using Rimmel 25 hour lasting finish foundation and find it suits my skin. I did use a Avon foundation for years but felt like a change. My mum never use to use any foundation just a bit of face powder when she was going somewhere special and she had great skin.
