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!!!!! |
