Desperate for a good foundation

Light cleanser only at night , to remove makeup and the day's impurities but just plain water in the morning otherwise the skin would tend to dry out.

Another vote for Trinny, tho other makes are available, Erborian, IT cosmetics, Bare Minerals too is excellent, TBH I’ve tried a few and Trinny and Bare Minerals are my favourites… most have SPF as well…

Another fan of Charlotte Tilbury. I don’t wear it every day though, mostly just loose or pressed powder and discreet blusher.

I wash my face in a bowl of warm water with a tiny bit of baby shampoo in an , evening Lavera cleansing milk and use rose 🌹 water as toner from local shop for £1.70 then either Clinique moisture surge or now Aveeno gel cream when on offer at Boots and in the day tinted moisturiser with factor 30 . Skin much better now a days .

So many different routines and difficult choices...

If you have not looked after your skincare routine over the last few years, I would look up a make up professional artist local to you and get some advice and some make up lessons. Professional make up artists will know all about the best things to use for your skin and age, and save you from spending loads of money on products that may not suit you, agree with your skin, or even make you feel worse about your skin.
Visit a few beauty places and ask for advice.

I use Nivea Soft face cream and Clinique foundation sold for covering red skin. I don’t use much and it gives a good, even, all over look that looks natural and not made up looking. I’ve tried all the expensive ‘skin enhancing’ creams and lots of foundations and have come to these products as the best. My skin is quite dry.

Thanks ladies xxx

Nivea rose exfoliator facial wash will tackle the dry skin. Boots No 7 serum and day/ night creams will bring back the moisture. Then No 7 tinted moisturiser should work well as a foundation, in a colour to match your skin tone

HiMay, I have used tinted moist. and liked it, might try that -thank you.

I wear Dr Jart ( camouflages uneven, red skin) last ages, it adapts to you skin tone.
I wear it over my factor 50, dust a bit of light bronzer over the top. I don’t wear foundation now- but double ware by ESTEE LAUDER is quite good but would mix a little serum with it., as it can be a little too thick & set with a loose powder

Double wear

I stopped using foundation a few months ago because I found it to be too 'heavy' for my aging skin. I now use Garnier BB cream instead and it's lovely and light. It has factor 50 protection too.

Agree re foundation, if I can get my skin in better condition then I will try BB creams and tinted moisturizers.
