Finding the perfect match for your foundation can be a task in itself. However, I want to share some of the best foundations for women over 40.

Skin Type
When you are a woman over 40, knowing your skin type is super important. The reason, you don’t want to apply the wrong foundation that can harm your skin. Most dry skin women over 40 wear a hydrating foundation and oliy-skin women over 40 may wear a matte foundation to control their oils. However, I like to wear both depending on the time of year and what my skin needs are at the time. What is your skin type and what is your skincare routine?
Foundation Finish
Understanding the finish of your foundation is important as well. You have radiant, Luminous, satin, natural and I’m sure there are more. What finish do you like?
