Best Foundations For Mature Skin 2023

Older skin calls for a fresh take on foundation. You might have been battling breakouts and oily t-zones in your 20s, but as you get older you're more likely to be dealing with dark spots and fine lines. The golden rules when it comes to finding the best foundation for mature skin? Avoid ultra-matte or full-coverage formulas which can flatten the skin and highlight fine lines. Instead, think fresh and hydrating with light-reflective properties - this will help give a plump and radiant look. What's more, there are so many options that come with the same age-defying ingredients that you'll find in anti-ageing serums and moisturisers. Look for ones that contain things like Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C - to improve skin texture and tone while providing glow-giving coverage.

How we choose the best foundations for mature skin
To find the best bases for older skin, we look for formulas that are lightweight, plumping and hydrating with added skincare benefits, so you know that these will give a dewy and youthful look. It’s important that the foundation doesn’t sit in fine lines, so mattifying formulas are off the table. Your feedback counts too, when a foundation earns all those five star reviews, we pay attention.
