Foundation for older skin

Hi, I am almost 60 and although I don’t have ‘wrinkly’ skin as such, my foundation is starting to look ‘cakey’. I wondered if anyone has any recommendations please? I like a ‘natural’ look and have seen advertisements on Instagram for ‘Il Makiage’ foundation that is supposed to look natural. Has anyone used it, and would you recommend? Thanks in advance.

I had a similar problem trying to find a new foundation. Thanks to GN I ended up trying Nivea tinted day cream moisturiser and for me it’s absolutely perfect! And, a lot cheaper than the Boots Intelligent Colour (that I used for years and it just got more and more expensive) and the Clarins I also tried. Worth a try? Good luck!
