| well .it depends on how u use the foundation stuff.if u donot want the face looks too flat ,u may use two different color foundations. brighten for the T zone ,and bit of dark color srounding the face ,that may help with the basic foundation application. moreover, for the powder progress. i would say ,just a little bit loose poder is fine for the whole face. donot apply too much |
by the way, foundation brush is very necessary for the foundation;s aplly, it would give u a very nature look, not like a flat mask |

| for my "aging skin"- I moisturize with neutrogena moisturizer with a 55 SPF. I then put on a primer (monistat chafing gel- lots of raves on MUA) After the primer dryes, I use Revlon colorstay and apply with a brush very lightly in a downward motion. Dab and blend. Then I pat on my concealer in my trouble areas (use the yellow tint). Lastly, I blot a makeup puff in my mineral veil with just enough on it to set my foundation.. It does not settle but helps my foundation to last. This is working really well for me! |

| I have given up on foundation, because the color will make my complexion look sick (have tried many brands). I am now using Clarin base + IPSA loose powder, it is very natural. |

| Try ID Bare Minerals. BUT...layer, layer, layer in small increments. Its great stuff, but only if applied correctly. Great for mature skin! |

I think that means the foundation you choose is not suitable for your skin.
I am now using la mer base + EL powder, it looks very natural. |

I haven't started my tube of 75 yet. I'm using spf 50 on neck, face, hands. It lasts forever and it's not greasy on me.
The 50spf has enough zinc oxide that it gives me a pearly, even sheen. (I like it.) When you can see it, I think that's enough to prevent much tanning. |

| I use GA's LSF, which has a really luminous glow. If you want more coverage, add a few drops of base with shimmer to your fav foundation. |

I just wanted to bump this thread up. I discovered Merle Norman (I know....old lady stuff) Sheer Defense Tinted Moisturizer. It's fabulous! I think it's more of a light foundation than a TM. Covers uneven areas well without looking masky. Nice satin finish but not greasy-looking. It seems to fill in any tiny lines rather than accentuating them. I am light/medium toned and "Bare" looks very natural on me.
Merle Norman used to be synonymous with blue-haired, purple-veined ladies who wore white gloves, but they've spiffed up their image somewhat. One caveat with shopping at Merle Norman: be sure to ask for samples or bring a small container for them to fill for you since they do not accept returns. |

| Over my Remergent sunscreen lotion, I've been using Chanel foundation, in a shade slightly darker than I used to buy; I love the way it makes my mature skin look dewy and moist. I finish it off with a light dusting of loose powder that I mixed: To some Estee Lauder powder I added a little Revlon Skin Lights. It doesn't look shiny but just adds healthy highlights. |

| I use clinique's pore minimizer on nose and sides of nose to erase pores and shine. Then I use philosophy's the supernatural poreless flawless spf 15....just dot it all over your face and spread...1 color works for everyone! Its amazing....gives a light matte look, not heavy and you still have a dewy look ...try it out at the nordstrom's counter first. Sometimes I use a very light dusting of alima mineral powder.....I try to be VERY careful though too much foundation/blush makes you look older. |

I know this forum is all about product but as we age I noticed myself that my foundation was not working the way it did in my twenties. I am using Bobbi Brown. I discovered her foundation after my tried and true Prescriptives foundation was totally out at Bloomingdales. I just use whatever as long as its a color match. My point is that it may not be the product it could be the application. I tried this tip from a professional make up artist and it worked wonders.
1) Make sure that you're face is sufficiently moisurzed before applying any primers. (Most of us are past this I know)
2) If you do not have a Mac 187 Stippling Brush (get one) then use a flat end blush type brush and dampen it (you can use your blush brush too...I did the first time).
3) Apply a dab of foundation on the brush and do your four to five dots on your face (cheek, cheek, forehead, chin, nose). Then in a circular motion, work your foundation onto your face. The circular motion is key. The technique is called "buffing" and your skin will have an almost airbrushed finish.
Before I did this I thought I was just getting old and would never look good in foundation again. WRONG!!! THANK GOODNESS!!!! 
***Note if you have a Stippling brush there is no need to wet it.***
Oh, this also works with concealers!!!!! |

| Try spraying the foundation sponge with avene thermal water spray then squeezing foundation onto it. Use light feather strokes working with the natural direction of hair growth on the face. Finish off with a light dusting of powder. Sounds like you might be applying too much foundation if it has a cakey look. For trouble spots use a concealer and a concealer brush to target just the trouble areas. |
