When it comes to shopping for a foundation that complements a mature complexion, certain factors are essential. Opt for a formula that won’t settle into fine lines, such as liquids and creams. Look for a “dewy,” “hydrating,” or “radiant” finish to avoid the cakey look matte foundations can create on drier, aging skin. Most importantly, choose a product with SPF 30 or higher to protect against UV damage that accelerates visible signs of aging.
L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation with SPF 50 ($12) meets these criteria and more. Most shades are currently 30 percent off in honor of Amazon Prime Day, taking place on July 16 and 17.
