The Best Foundations For Mature Skin

Mature skin requires special consideration when choosing a foundation. Women in their 40’s and 50’s need options for fine lines and wrinkles, texture, and redness just to name a few. The good news is that there are lots of options at different price points. Here are the best foundations for mature skin that I have personally worn and enjoy!

Estee Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue

The Estee Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue is an ideal foundation for mature skin. I wear this when I am going out for a special occasion or when I’m taking pictures. This is a light moisturizing foundation that gives medium to full coverage.

Your skin will have a subtle glow, but not so much that it accentuates lines and wrinkles. You will also notice that it has a very thin consistency, which feels nice in the summer and it has an SPF 45. It comes in 28 shades and retails for $55.

Estee Lauder Double Wear

Before trying the Futurist Foundation, the Estee Lauder Double Wear was my favorite. They are still very close and I will continue to use the Double Wear. This one has a little bit more of a matte finish than the futurist. Another benefit is that is comes in over 56 shades including warm, neutral, and cool tones. The Double Wear does not contain SPF and retails for $52.

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear

The Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation is a 24 hour long wearing full coverage foundation with a matte finish. This is best for oily, combination, or normal skin. If you have very dry skin, you will probably want to choose a foundation that is more moisturizing. This is a lightweight formula that I like to apply with a sponge. It comes in over 50 shades with cool, warm, and neutral undertones. I wear shade 310 – Cool Bisque. This retails for $57.

L’oreal True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum

L’oreal just really nails it when it comes to affordable foundations for mature skin! This True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum is the best affordable foundation I have ever tried. It brightens, evens, and hydrates the skin while giving a very natural finish. It’s easy to apply with a sponge and has a very thin consistency.

It comes in 14 shades and retails for $19.99.

L‘oreal True Match Super Blendable Foundation

This iconic foundation has gotten a makeover. The new formula offers 47 shades that are offered in cool, neutral, and warm tones. The formula still gives a satin, natural looking medium coverage. The difference is that now it’s also vegan, alcohol free, oil free, and fragrance free.

The new packaging now has a pump dispenser, which is a welcome change! The price on this foundation is $13.99

Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation

The Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation is an oil free pore minimizing foundation. I have never found a product that makes pores invisible, but if you struggle with texture this does help to disguise pores. There are 40 shades to choose from and it retails for $10.99.

This has been around for years, but often gets overlooked. It’s a beautiful foundation and worth a look for mature skin. If you prefer a more moisturizing formula, you might like the Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth foundation. This is ideal for normal to dry skin.

Finding foundations that check off all the boxes can be overwhelming. I hope this gives you a starting place if you are looking for a foundation that suits your needs. I’m sure there are many others, but these are the best foundations for mature skin that I have personally worn and enjoy.

Tip:

Many foundations do not come with a pump dispenser. You can easily convert them by purchasing these pumps from Amazon. They fit most containers including the ones I have shown today.
