Top 5 best foundations for aging skin and reviews of them

After 45 years, the female body experiences difficult times associated with hormonal changes. Age is merciless, the skin becomes thinner, becomes firmer and more elastic. Other approaches and cosmetic products for face and neck care are required .

Especially for ladies of intelligent age, we have compiled a rating of the best foundations for aging skin, and selected critical reviews.

Foundation in age-related makeup solves a complex of problems:

  1. Masks uneven terrain;
  2. Evens out facial skin tone;
  3. Moisturizes.

Too thick foundation gets stuck into wrinkles and only emphasizes skin unevenness . When a powder tone with a mattifying effect is applied on top, the skin becomes dry and wrinkled. Powder on the thin skin around the eyes creates the effect of dry parchment. It clogs the pores all day and by evening the pattern of wrinkles becomes especially bright. Brrr!!! Therefore, it is important to choose a light foundation with a lifting effect, possibly with silicone particles, almost transparent, but with good coverage, slightly lighter than the main skin tone.

Guerlain, France

Fifth place in the rating of foundation creams for aging skin: Guerlain, Parure Gold, smoothing foundation SPF 30. The cost of a dark glass bottle with a 30 ml dispenser is about 5,800 rubles.

The composition of Parure Gold cream is unique. It includes:

  • golden pigments that give the skin radiance and even out tone.
  • Myrrh oil nourishes the skin and restores youth and vitality.
  • Reflective particles, sun protection factor SPF 30, which means it is suitable in spring and summer in bright sunshine.

The manufacturer offers 8 golden yellow and golden pink shades. They visually cover dark spots and pigmentation, erase traces of time and fatigue.

Customer Reviews

Karina: “I bought the foundation in a tester, it turns out cheaper. The Internet is full of such offers. The aroma of the product is magical, a mix of flowers, expensive powder and luxury. However, the Guerlain brand has always distinguished itself favorably from other companies in its scents.

Parure foundation makes my skin look perfect. Men and girlfriends give compliments. Nice! If he hadn’t once given me yellowness, I would have given him a solid A. And so, 4 plus . I recommend it to those who have money for it.”

Maria: “A friend also gave me a Parure Gold tester. At first, a subtle aroma is felt on the face, but it does not have time to become boring and disappears. If we talk about the results without advertising blah blah blah, then the cream should give the skin radiance, smooth out wrinkles, and remove dark spots. What do we really have? In reality, it does not shine, but it looks decent and is practically invisible on the skin . I like."

AnnaKarina: “The Guerlain ParureGold cream with SPF 30 is very long-lasting and stays on for up to 12 hours without slipping or clogging pores. I love the slight glow that the cream gives to the face after application. It seems that the face does not shine, but glows from within, the skin looks well-groomed and “expensive”. At the same time, the product mattifies the skin, making it velvety. Magically! Still, it is rather a dense texture, so when a weightless coating is needed, I mix it in half with liquid meteorites.

To summarize, I can confidently recommend a product that really works and is beautifully designed. A bottle of ParureGold will decorate your dressing table!”

Customer reviews about choosing a cream

Lydia, 58 years old: “As you get older, you always want to look beautiful. I started using foundation creams in my youth, and I’ve tried everything. I used Ruby Rose cosmetics for a long time, but recently I noticed that the quality of the products began to decline. The store advised me to buy a foundation from Vichy. It hides wrinkles perfectly, especially under the eyes. I liked that the cream has virtually no odor and can be easily removed with micellar water. But the cost, of course, bites.”

Maria, 49 years old: “I use foundation from Giorgio Armani. I really like that it doesn’t wash off in streaks from the face when you have to be very active. The effect lasts for almost 10 hours. There is no feeling of a mask on the skin, no oily sheen either. The cream is very expensive, but economical. One tube lasts me almost six months.”

The choice of foundation is a purely personal matter. Here you need to build on the expected effect and individual characteristics of the body. Price, of course, also matters, but instead of buying mediocre cosmetics with a dubious effect for pennies, it is better to buy a really worthwhile product once that will last for a long time.

MaxFactor (Max Factor), USA

Fourth position: MaxFactor, ColourAdapt foundation. Bottle with dispenser, 34 ml. Price on Yandex Market from 458 rubles.

If you are wondering which inexpensive foundation to buy for aging skin, then pay attention to this new product from Max Factor. What is new? “Smart” cream particles adapt to your skin tone and create an even, natural coverage . In addition, evenness of tone is achieved by the presence of silicone derivatives in the composition.

The manufacturer indicates six shades in the palette:

  • 40 - ivory;
  • 45 - warm almonds;
  • 50 - reddish-beige;
  • 55 - pink-beige;
  • 70 - natural;
  • 75 - golden.

Consumer Opinions

Olga: “Max Factor color adapt outperforms all the foundations I’ve used. And if I add a little moisturizer, I get a mega thin coverage.”

Tanyusha: “I use tone No. 45, “Warm almond.” It seems universal to me. I like almost everything:

  • packaging: plastic bottle with dispenser. It's very hygienic.
  • The texture is quite light, more like a mousse.
  • It applies smoothly to the skin, without streaks.

The coating is not too heavy. I don’t think it will hide serious imperfections, but it covers light acne spots well. Looks natural, no mask effect or foreign object on the face .

The downside is that it is not the most durable coating. Although it’s enough for me, it lasts until the evening. Yes, here’s another thing: in hot weather you have to use matting wipes.”

Larisa, 42 years old: “Yes, age has crept up unnoticed. Pigment spots, noticeable wrinkles appeared on the face, and the skin became uneven in color. I had to find a new foundation. I bought the Color Adapt cream and was not disappointed. He solved my problems, I look like I was 35 years old. The product is instantly absorbed, does not shine, does not stick. There is no need to use powder; it’s enough to lightly highlight the cheekbones with blush.”

Benefits of using facial foundation

Foundation is an indispensable element of makeup, especially for mature women. After all, you always want to look beautiful and stylish, regardless of age.

The manufacturer also promises:

  • Fresh and radiant complexion;
  • A thin protective screen on the skin, against the penetration of polluting particles;

Customer Reviews

Anastasia: “I won’t hide the fact that I purchased the new product from Bourgeois with caution. After the first use, I noticed that the product visually smoothed out my facial skin. My son noticed that I looked rested. And on the weekend we went skiing, and I exposed my face to the warm March rays without fear. By the way, my friend didn’t like this cream; it doesn’t cover age spots and redness. Might need a proofreader."

AnnaMaria, 52 years old: “It seemed to me that Max Factor is too dense for aging skin - it emphasizes every wrinkle. I prefer lighter textures, but then the covering qualities of the cream are lost. I found a new budget product from Bourgeois, City radiance. The foundation is inexpensive, very light and comfortable on the skin.”

Needs of aging skin

The main problem of mature dermis is lack of moisture. On the one hand, it’s good that oily shine and rashes disappear. But on the other hand, dryness causes wrinkles. If you do not provide your skin with sufficient moisture, it will quickly lose its elasticity.

Another problem is a gray complexion. It occurs due to a lack of vitamins and nutrients. As a result, you look tired and unkempt.

You should nourish your skin not only with creams, but with healthy foods and vitamins.

The third problem is slower regeneration. Renewal of the epidermis occurs less frequently with age, so aging skin loses its fresh appearance. The right tone will help give it shine and shine.

Shiseido (Shiseido), Japan

Second place in the rating: Shiseido, Foundation with a radiance effect Future Solution LX. Glass jar, 30 ml. The price fluctuates around 5850 rubles. The product has not yet been promoted and some stores offer gifts, for example, when buying Shiseido cream you receive a gift - cleansing foam (50 ml).

Japan is a recognized leader not only in the production of electronics, but also in innovation in the field of facial care. When developing a new generation of foundations, optical illusion technology was used. Maybe that's why the Future Solution formula allows you to create a perfectly even coverage and flawless skin tone.

Includes:

  • Aura Radiance Powder is responsible for maximum light reflection and gives the skin an inner glow.
  • The Skingencell 1P component is responsible for blocking the production of a protein that accelerates the aging process.
  • Hyaluronic acid is responsible for hydration.

Anna: “Shiseido is my favorite cosmetics. This creamy product gives the face a healthy glow, making the skin more youthful and toned. The only real disappointment is the price.”

Marina, 48 years old: “The only weak point of the new foundation from Shiseido is that you have to constantly reach into it with a spatula, this is not very convenient, and not hygienic. I didn’t get used to the product right away; there were difficulties with application. Now before the procedure I spray my face with thermal water.”

Customer reviews Read here about the differences between CC cream and BB cream. Almira: “This cream was lying in my cosmetic bag for a long time, I bought it spontaneously, the letters SS did not mean anything. Then my skin began to become covered with age spots, and I decided to try it. First, I applied it with my fingers, the cream went on in patches and added some bumpiness to the texture. When I looked in the mirror, I was horrified.

I sat, thought, and got down to business again. She moistened her face with cream, squeezed out the sponge properly and spread the cream over the skin with dipping movements. As a result, I really got almost perfect coverage. Now I use this foundation all the time.”

How to prepare your skin for tone application

After all these steps, foundation is applied.

In order for the cream to lie evenly on the face and perform its direct function 100%, it is important to pay special attention to the preparation process, which consists of several stages:

  1. Cleansing. The face must be cleaned of dirt, grease, sweat, dust, etc. To do this, it will be enough to wash with the usual product used for daily washing. Additionally, you can use a soft scrub, which will remove dead skin particles and make the application process ideal.
  2. Toning. It is recommended to give preference to tonics with a lifting effect.
  3. Hydration. 10-15 minutes before applying makeup, it is better to use a deeply moisturizing cream or serum containing collagen.
  4. Base. Some women skip this stage, believing that moisturizing is enough. In fact, applying the base is one of the most important stages of preparation. The base provides durability, prolonging the life of makeup. Her choice of foundation should be based on her skin type.

After all these steps, foundation is applied.

What else can give an additional lifting effect?

A facelift is a cosmetic procedure used to tighten the face. Thanks to this procedure, the muscles of the body and face are kept in good shape for a long time. According to cosmetologists, lifting helps stop the aging process.

The main purpose of this procedure is rejuvenation. The positive effect is achieved by lifting the fight against age-related changes.

There are 3 methods of lifting therapy:

  1. Operation;
  2. Hardware cosmetology;
  3. Rejuvenating masks.

The maximum effect is achieved surgically. However, not every representative of the fair sex will agree to “go under the knife,” so many prefer the latter method, which can be implemented at home.

  • Skin: normal, slight pigmentation.
  • Usually uses: everything that his beloved daughter brings. Particularly respects La Prairie and La Mer.

Foundation care cream that gives radiance Sublimage Le Teint, Chanel


I really liked the jar and brush right away. But anyway, at first, out of habit, I applied the product with my hands and wondered why the tone, which costs so much, did not cause me such delight: it was thick, dry and somehow applied strangely. I complained to Yana. She, of course, said that I didn’t understand anything (what else could my daughter say?%), and during the conversation she found out that I didn’t use a brush. I immediately received a scolding. I corrected myself - and things got better. This brush is densely packed, elastic, with it the cream is consumed less, lies thinner and feels much more pleasant on the face. I get compliments at work and I like myself better in photographs. I wish I could learn not to lose this brush... But what can you do, sclerosis! :)

Price: 9799 rub. at L'Etoile.

Foundation Desiner Lift, Giorgio Armani


I fell in love with this cream right away. Its coverage is lighter, and it masks some imperfections less easily. But it is very easily and simply spread on the face with your fingers and gives such a sleek, well-groomed look that it’s just lovely! In general, if I took as many selfies as Yana, and knew how to use brushes so well, I would use Chanel. But since I’m still not a beauty blogger, but the mother of a beauty blogger, I vote for ease of use over camouflage. But, by the way, I can say that both products really seem to have skincare properties. I once tried just some kind of foundation N (I say, sclerosis, I forgot the name) - and immediately felt that the skin under it was drying out. With these, on the contrary, he feels good. According to age, of course, but still.

Price: 6349 rub. at L'Etoile.

Natalia, mother Yulia Grebenkina

  • Skin: very light, with freckles, thin, dry.
  • Usually uses: Erborian bb crème nude and Dr.Jart+ Dr.Jart Beauty Balm Silver Label, Dr.Jart Premium Beauty Balm.

Anti-aging foundation Sisleya Le Teint, Sisley


Sisleya Le Teint has a liquid texture, but it is difficult to apply in an even layer (I do it with my hands). The cream does not want to be absorbed or smooth out the texture, much less hide my freckles. It sinks into the pores and your face turns speckled. Plus it gets into fine wrinkles and emphasizes them.

Price: 10,960 rub. in Ile de Beaute.

Capture Totale Triple Correcting foundation serum, Dior


I liked the matte finish and the fact that the cream spreads well and smoothes out wrinkles. Lasts well until evening. I would put it on a par with my favorites (Erborian and Dr.Jart+), if not for the very light disguise. The cream can be layered, but then the shade, which is not quite suitable for me, becomes even darker.

Price: 5870 rub. at L'Etoile.
