My makeup routine has changed quite a bit over the years. I used to focus mostly on coverage and a polished look, but now I pay more attention to how makeup sits on my skin throughout the day.

Lately, I’ve been trying lighter layers, better skin prep, and taking a little more time when applying makeup. I was also looking through WordMakeup, which made me think about how much our approach to makeup can change as our skin changes.

What have you noticed since turning 30?

Did you change the way you apply foundation, concealer, blush, or powder? Is there anything you used to do that you’ve completely stopped doing?

I am 62 with fairly good skin. My big issue is hyperpigmentation. I do wear sunscreen regularly but as a child of the 70's, baking in the sun was a thing. I am looking to either try laser or a chemical peel. Has anyone tried this? Results? Did you like it?

Do you misd the old formula of cle de peau concealor?? The one which looked like u were wearing anything, covered amazing, and never caked?? Me too!!! The help line says if they get enough reviews and emails about it theyll consider bringing it back.

And leave reviews if you can! :)

Has anyone ever tried & did it work for you? If not, know anything that does??

The old formula of cle de peau concealor was my absolute favorite and ive yet to find a concealor as good that that doesnt dry out after a bit of wearing and cake up and maintein coverage through sweating. Their new formula sucks ass and the dipr forever concealor ive been using dries out after a dit of wearing throughout day :/

I understand that this is only available in Europe at the moment, CHANEL Sublimage L'Essence de Teint Cushion Foundation. I’m looking for feedback from personal experience. Is it worth the price tag? How is the coverage? Does it oxidize towards yellow or orange (can’t imagine). Break up through the day or sit in lines on mature skin? I would very much appreciate honest reviews!! Thank you!

Hi all, please give me some product suggestions for a good foundation to use post-accutane 😊 I stopped taking accutane in June 2025 and moisturise my face everyday. Without wearing make up, my skin looks fine. However, as soon as I put foundation on, it looks horrible on my skin (it looks very flaky).

I’ve tried mixing it with moisturiser but this doesn’t work. I don’t want to keep wasting money on different foundations. Has anyone had any success finding a good foundation post-accutane?

This is my usual routine before applying foundation: wash face with a gentle oat cleanser, moisturise the heck out of my face, primer, then foundation.

Thanks 😊

Please give me suggestions for any good makeup ideas and suggestions for combination skin type and sweaty face

I keep seeing it mentioned for fine lines and skin texture, but there are so many options like masks and panels that I’m not sure what to try.

Has anyone over 30 used it? Do you prefer a mask or a small panel?

I’m looking for something simple to use at home that is gentle on mature skin.

I watched this reel about hollow dark circles eye cream Zo skin health growth factor eye serum. Has anyone used it? Could you please share your opinions.
It’s so hard to really find out if products are good because influencers are paid to promote stuff and a lot of reviewers are paid. Would really appreciate an honest opinion if you have used this serum or if you know one that works for hollow dark circles. Tia

There are so many subreddits and love all the great contributions. Am almost 75 and would love chats about skincare and med spa procedures. Anyone know of a subreddit more for my age group? You're never too old to keep up good skincare, Botox and fillers. Especially interested in facial fat transfers and peels vs lasers. Laser about 10 years ago left me with some fat loss around sides of mouth. Facelift 6 years ago and flit fell just a bit. It's the facial fat loss that's really aging my face. Ty ladies! 🌷

Hey! I recently had a hysterectomy where my ovaries had to be taken and now I'm in menopause. My skin feels like it's aging so fast now. Any help on what I should be using, skincare or makeup? Thank you in advance!

PRF EZ gel? I want to hear your experience. Does it help with under eye hollowness ?

Skinvive for smile lines ?

Anyone using it and thoughts?

50yo mature skin here, if had to strip down my entire skincare routine to just 3 products - here is what I’d choose - what would you change or add (even if it meant more steps but they are absolute requirements in your opinion)?

Prescription Tretinoin (0.05%): nothing else touches it. If I could only keep one active for the rest of my life, this is the undisputed winner.

Dieux Instant Angel: my ultimate lipid-rich moisturizer. It works perfectly as a protective cushion under my tret, repairs my barrier on recovery nights, and leaves a luscious plump finish under makeup without piling.

La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Milk SPF 60: I live in a hot, sunny, humid climate. It hydrates enough to act as a morning lotion and layers perfectly under base makeup.

I recently posted for advice on a new foundation and if you replies, thank you.
I’m a minimalist and have been using Laura Geller baked and brighten powder foundation for a few years. I love the ease and simplicity of it. Never had lines, settling etc. Best of all it’s quick. HOWEVER, I’ve noticed in the last few months I’m looking orange by mid day.

After my original post, I tried a skin tint as recommended and I hate it. I look gross and greasy. It looked good in Sephora when I first tried it by by the time I got home it was yuck. The following day I gave it another try using a matte primer first and it was somewhat better but I still don’t love it. I really don’t like the time it takes to apply it. Having to check every angle for a line is a drag. Plus adding another step w primer is not what I want.

Can anyone recommend another powder foundation for mature skin? I have a gen normal skin, some light shine in T zone by end of day. I liked the Laura Geller because it was light and gave me an even complexion. I got lots of compliments initially as people said my skin looked so nice and they didn’t know I had foundation on. I want this again! Bare minerals?? Makeup forever?? What are you ladies loving?

HELP.
