Best Foundation and Moisturizer for 50+ Skin?

I have dry to normal fair skin with only normal to light signs of aging. No deep wrinkles or lines, but normal crow's feet and that sort. Have always had that "flawless" look, but in recent years my skin has dulled and am looking to get some of that look back. Any recommendations for a good foundation and moisturizer or any suggestions for other products. I don't mind paying for the mid to higher end products if they really work.

Best Foundation and Moisturizer for 50+ Skin?
i am 46, with dry, sensitive fair skin. i've been using bare minerals by bare escentuals for 6 years now, and i love it. it actually matches my fair skintone, looks %26amp; feels completely natural, doesn't settle into fine lines, and doesn't dry out or irritate my skin. my skin actually looks younger now, than before bare minerals, it is not as dry, and it just looks flawless. i use "clear radiance" first for a youthful glow, then foundation, then warm radiance for a subtle sunkissed look, and mineral veil for a flawless finish. this make-up doesn't melt off - even in heat %26amp; humidity. try it out for yourself at any ulta, sephora, macy's, or nordstrom store, to see, how you like it, before making a decision. the starter kits are 60.00 ( i prefer the "original" one at ulta), a kit lasts 2-3 months. be sure, to watch the how-to dvd, otherwise you'll use too much. the full size foundation (25.00) lasts me about one year, that's how little is needed./// i also swear by the philosophy skin care line (sold at sephora, www.philosophy.com, and qvc). the "make-up optional" kit is one of my favorites (, along with "eye believe", and "dark shadows" for the eye %26amp; lip area. i love the booster serum, and booster caps, which i use right after the weekly "microdelivery peel". i am a pretty thrifty person (my kids actually call me "cheap"), but i don't mind spending money on products, that actually work.
Reply:Clarins has an AMAZING serum that my mom uses, it's called Generation 6. It really works!
Reply:Kinerase is a great moisturizer.
Reply:I am using Shiseido's Revitalizing cream and also Estee Lauder's Resilience Lift Extreme new cream compact makeup. My skin is moisturized and feels great.
Reply:I used Retin A nightly to get the youthful glow back


I use Bare Minerals makeup to help achieve the glow


I use Oil of Olay Regenerist moisturizer nightly to help maintain the gloqw
Reply:I was told when I was in my 20's by a cosmetic surgeon that the best, and at the time, only moisturiser that really 'works' is products with significant levels of AHA's in them. They are glycolic and citric acids and definately work to keep the lines at bay and naturally and gently buff your skin. There is a slight tingling sensation as you use the product but it truly works, I have been using AHA products for many years now and still have very few lines or wrinkles.





If you use these products it's best to avoid direct sunlight on your face for extended periods and use a 30+ sunscreen as your skin is more sensitive to sunlight after using it. I would also recommend only using the product at night for sun sensitivity reasons.





MD formulations is a good brand incase you are wondering, I have tried other less expensive brands but they don't work as well.
Reply:Pur minerals!
Reply:I would use estee lauder. It is a nice powder but you can buy it in cream. It goes on so smooth. They have a moisturizer for it. But night wear and make-up remover so it helps your skin look younger for 50+. Its a little expensize about 35 dollars a bottle. But i love it. It works so well!! You can get it at your nearest peebles.
Reply:Go for the Liquid Powder Mineral Foundation from Bee-Luscious. It doesn't have any talc, bismuth or oils to clog your pores and settle into fine lines. Also use the primer underneath.





I would also recommend the PepTox Radiance Serum will give you a brighter look. It is made to add radiance to skin that has lost that glow. Also PepTox Wrinkle relaxer is proven to reduce wrinkles and fine lines.





I took this off their web-page. I have been using Bee-Luscious for a long time and everything I have tried has exceeded my expectations. So I have no doubts that these will do exactly what they say it will do. Just look up Bee-Luscious on Google.
