These Flawless Foundations Are Expert-Approved for Mature Skin

There’s nothing like finding the best foundation for mature skin—one that matches your skin tone just right, has the perfect amount of coverage (and that won’t sink into fine lines and wrinkles), and has a comfortable and luxe texture. Cosmetic companies already tout hydrating foundations for those with dry skin, foundations for acne-prone skin, and even options for those with oily skin. But, If you’re interested in aging gracefully, and in whatever way that makes you feel good, finding the best foundation for mature skin is key.

“Mature skin responds best to products that help hydrate and plump the skin,” explains Roberta Del Campo, M.D., medical advisor for BABOR and founder of Del Campo Dermatology & Laser Institute. Formulas that contain skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides, or active ingredients commonly found in anti-aging serums like vitamin C, are effective at not only smoothing the skin, but keeping it healthy too.

The best part about the beauty world is that there are so many amazing products to choose from, making it so there’s truly something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a dewy or natural finish or something high-coverage and long-lasting, we’ve got you covered.
