I’ve been asked this question a few times and it’s a very common dilemma. As we get a bit older and have a few lines on our faces, the foundation we wore before probably won’t be doing us any favours. The wrong foundation can actually exaggerate any fine lines and crepiness you might have, making you look older. Your skin looks drier and your foundation settles into any creases and makes them ten times more obvious.What’s needed is a foundation specifically targeted at mature skin. Estee Lauder and Dior both do foundations for mature skin that come very highly recommended. They moisturise and seem to fill in fine lines - try one and see.
DiorSkin Sculpt Foundation
A revolutionary, line-smoothing, firming makeup that instantly fills in fine lines and wrinkles, boosts skin elasticity and turns up your natural radiance. Dior like to call it a mini face-lift in a jar. I've seen it in action and it is very impressive.
Estee Lauder Futurist Age-resisting Makeup SPF 15
An age-resisting, liquid gel makeup with a radiant, slightly luminous finish, that delivers multiple treatment benefits to the skin. More than wonderful makeup, this light silky formula firms, revitalises, moisturises. As you smooth it on, tiny lines seem to disappear. I love Estee Lauder products for mature skin. Recently I saw the results of a makeover using this foundation and the lady in question actually glowed afterwards. She looked fabulous.

Although you can buy both of these foundations online, I would recommend that you visit your local Dior and Estee Lauder counters instead. Have a good chat about what you're looking for, try out the makeup, the right shade will be selected for you and then see which one you like best. Another advantage of doing this is that complimentary products will also be recommended to you, that you might like to try. It's too easy to get stuck in a makeup rut - but don't do it. Take advantage of new developments and keep your skin looking fresh and young.
