I've been reading that mature women shouldn't use powder, as it settle into lines on the face and makes them more evident. However, mineral based foundation, such as Bare Minerals, advertise their product as being suitable for mature women. What do others think? Which type of foundation works better for you? Incidentally, I have rosacea which requires a certain degree of cover with any foundation.

Polyfilla is good for old birds.

Seriously, save your money. Use nothing. Neither your female or male friends care a monkey's about your skin texture, beyond being delighted if it looks healthy.

They'll praise your attempts at concealment of course, and discuss products if you show interest. But that's just empathy and support. They'll support you looking natural too.
