A 70-year-old shopper said it makes their “skin look almost perfect.”

I’ve tried airbrush foundation in the past, only to fail miserably. While, in theory, a mistable skin-perfector with filter-like results is compelling, there’s room for error. Plus, I find airbrush makeup becomes cakey easily, and often finds itself nestled into my fine lines.

It wasn’t until I stumbled upon the Jerome Alexander Magic Minerals Airbrush Foundation that I reconsidered the mistable makeup category.  Over 10,000 Amazon shoppers — many of whom have mature skin — have given it a perfect five-star rating. You can snag your own can of this under-the-radar skin-smoother at Amazon, where it’s $20. After reading endless shopper accolades, I certainly plan to.

The Jerome Alexander Magic Minerals Airbrush Foundation is an imperfection-blurring, skin-smoothing face makeup. Formulated for all skin, especially mature skin, the buildable formula covers imperfections, including sunspots and melasma, and blurs the appearance of fine lines — without settling or creasing. The finish is a skin-like natural matte, and the product feels breathable on skin. Per shoppers, it’s non-cakey, and remains fresh-looking even in the face of sweaty, humid conditions.

In addition to imparting instant filter-like smoothness, this foundation serves up seriously effective anti-aging ingredients, which further whittle the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles both instantly and over time. For instance, hyaluronic acid — a lauded hydrator known to quench skin on contact — plumps the appearance of fine lines by flooding skin with moisture. Neuropeptides argireline and Matrixyl 3000 deliver Botox-like effects by relaxing muscle contractions responsible for expression lines and wrinkles. In turn, lines and wrinkles on the overlying skin appear less prominent.

True to its name, the airbrush formula dispenses as an ultra-fine, skin-blurring mist. The key point of difference is the application method, which brand founder, celebrity makeup artist Jerome Alexander, calls “mistake-proof” in a video demonstration: Spray the product onto a kabuki brush and swirl onto skin. The method retains the airbrushed look — without risk of streaks or mess. One shopper corroborates the claim, noting its a “much neater application” than other airbrush foundations they’ve tried.

Other reviewers are equally impressed, for myriad reasons. One shopper, who calls the foundation “a magical elixir,” says it makes them look “flawless” and “airbrushed.” Another fan is “shocked” by how the formula remains smooth and non-cakey throughout the day, while a shopper just shy of 70 says their skin “looks almost perfect” thanks to the product. Another reviewer, also 70, says their skin looks “so much younger,” noting that the formula covers “patches of rosacea, redness, and dark spots perfectly.” Plus, they add: It’s the “only product” they’ve “ever used that does not make wrinkles more pronounced.” I’m sold.

For a smooth, airbrushed complexion — with a side of wrinkle-reducing skincare ingredients — shop the Jerome Alexander Magic Minerals Airbrush Foundation for $20 at Amazon.
