Great Makeup Products for Mature Skin

This post is sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle Collective. All opinions are my own.

I LOVE makeup and I always have. Since I have gotten older, over 50, LOTS of changes started happening to my skin. My old makeup no longer looks or feels the same. I have been on the hunt for great makeup products for mature skin over the last couple of years. And I have tested lots of different products and found several that work well.

Today, I wanted to share all of the great products that I have found for mature skin.

Great Makeup Products for Mature Skin

It always makes me feel fabulous when I received a compliment like, “Your makeup looks beautiful.” Because truly… it’s an entire different ballgame when you are working with mature skin. I personally had very oily skin as a teenager and all the way into my 40s. I remember sitting at my desk having to use those blotting papers because of the oil on my face. However…… Now that I am well into my 50s nearing the 60s mark, there is a “DRY” factor. Certain makeup products that were my tried or true essentials looked terrible on my skin. My favorite of all-time foundation that I wore for years sunk into my creases and caused me to look 20 years older.

What I have realized since getting older is that we need to focus on using more products in the cream form… cream blush, cream bronzer, creamier lipstick, etc. I even stopped using setting powder and switched to setting spray.

Here are my current faves:

1. Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter Primer & Highlighter – I use a little of this under my foundation for a little glow. It’s not really bright like a highlighter… it simply brightens up dull skin.

2. Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Based Priming Moisturizer – THIS IS GOOD STUFF! I finish my skincare routine and add this right before makeup. It helps your makeup look smoother and not fall into the cracks and crevices. It is a great product for mature skin, for sure.

3. NARS Instant Line Pore Perfector – I grabbed this a few weeks back and it is so handy. I use it around my crows feet area to help my makeup look smoother.

4. Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Natural Skin Protector – If you aren’t a fan of full face foundation or want a lighter makeup day, this is a great tinted moisturizer. It doesn’t feel heavy at all.

5. LancomeTeint Idole Ultra Liquid 24H Longwear Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Liquid Foundation – I never thought I could ever found another foundation like my old standby. But this foundation is excellent. I don’t like to feel like I have a layer of makeup on my face and this one doesn’t. It is buildable, too.

6. Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Concealer – My previous concealer that I once loved settled into my creases under my eyes TERRIBLY. It was like a spotlight was shining on my wrinkles. This one doesn’t do that. I highly recommend this one as a concealer for mature skin.

7. Nars Laguna Bronzing Cream – Again… creams are an excellent way to make mature skin look and feel better. I have been using this bronzing cream under my favorite powder blush and it has been working really well. It also works as a natural looking blush.

8. MAC Extra Dimension Blush – This is a blush with the smoothness of a cream, blendability of a liquid, and finish of a powder

9. Stila Convertible Color Dual Lip & Cheek Cream – The two-in-one compact holds the key to easy, monochromatic makeup… I don’t have this but want to grab it the next time I place an order.

10. It Cosmetics Superhero Mascara – I always I am a mascara connoisseur because I have tried so many. This is one of my favorites and in my top three. It is perfect for everyone but I had to include it.

11. Anastasia Beverly Hills Satin Velvet Lipstick – I have been focusing a bit more on natural makeup looks. This lipstick in the color, Butterscotch, is SO PRETTY.

12. L’Absolu Rouge Moisturizing Cream Lipstick – This is a highly moisturizing lipstick that offers up to 18 hours of comfort… Because it has 30% moisturizing rose balm and blended with hyaluronic acid. I have this in the color Mademoiselle Amanda and it’s a really pretty pinky nude.

13. Urban Decayer All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray – I have noticed a huge difference when I wear this spray vs not. My makeup not only stays put through hot flashes, but it looks smoother, as well.

14. PMC Personal Microderm Clean Facial Cleansing Device – I included this product in this post because I have it and love it. It is perfect for pretty much everyone.
