The 10 Best Powder Foundations for Mature Skin

You’d Never Guess This Underrated Foundation Works Wonders for Mature Skin

Shopping for a powder foundation can be tough in general, but if you have dry or mature skin, it can be even more of a challenge. Although most people consider powder foundation strictly for those with oily skin, that’s not always the case. Celebrity makeup artist Allison Kaye says there are a few things to look for in a powder foundation if you do happen to have mature skin and would like to try one.

“You should look for microfine powder foundations to prohibit the powder from settling into fine lines and wrinkles,” she says. “The microfine powders will have more of a velvet feel to them and will sit more evenly on your face.”

Powder foundations that contain hydrating ingredients like squalane and hyaluronic acid can also work well for mature skin types. They’ll help ensure that the formula won’t crease or look dry and patchy at the end of the day. Celebrity makeup artist Judi Gabbay on the other hand doesn’t always love a powder foundation for mature skin but says to opt for a mineral foundation with a finely milled finish if you really would like to try one.
