35+ what make-up do you use?

I'm in DESPERATE need of new make-up. I've been using Bare Minerals because of it's ease, but before I buy more, wanted to see what others are using.

TIA!!!!

Re: 35+ what make-up do you use?

Now I only use bb cream. It makes my skin look nice without drying it out. I stopped using powders or mineral makeup because I think over time, the powder dries out the skin making wrinkles more apparent. I use blotting papers for any shine. I've used garnier and dr. Jart

Re: 35+ what make-up do you use?

Sadly, that's what I was thinking was happening with my BM darn lines!

Any recs on places to give a consult for make-up (what to by, how to apply).

I'm make-up challenged! (which is why I've been using the same stuff for years!!)

Re: 35+ what make-up do you use?

I got a sample of this stuff with my last Sephora purchase and OMG, it blew me away. It is called Miracle Skin Transformer & has been featured by Dr. Oz. I usually use MAC with a good primer, but i felt like this stuff truly transformed my skin! Sorry I can't link because I'm on my phone, but it was this:

35+ what make-up do you use?

I started using the BB cream a few months ago because I was having the same problem and I love it! I still use the BM on top just to set it but I use such a small amount of it now. I got the Garnier oil free one. Love it, it's a little thicker than the regular one and I get a little extra coverage.

Re: 35+ what make-up do you use?

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm 39, I only use a loose powder on my skin & was using Bare Minerals but want to change, too. I wear a lot of eye makeup, but i don't do much to my face, not because i don't need to, just don't know what to do I feel like the cream foundations or tinted moisturizers are just too much, but the loose powder is too little, i need an in between!

Re: 35+ what make-up do you use?

Funny you say this because I used to use Bare Minerals and then stopped but recently been loving their stuff again. Since hitting 35, I haven't changed my makeup (I like to try all different brands and products) but I am now using a moisturizer and eye cream daily.

Re: 35+ what make-up do you use?

I'm not EXACTLY 35 yet......
But L'Oreal Youth Code BB Cream is my favorite -

It used to be the Garnier, but the Youth Code is lighter and looks even more natural ......

I use Miischa perfect cover BB cream, and then some BM mineral veil over that. Benefit fake up is a great concealer because it doesn't crease into your fine lines.

Re: 35+ what make-up do you use?

Can someone explain to me what BB cream is and how the consistency compares between a liquidy tinted moisturizer and thick foundation?

I have an oily/red T and so far Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation has been the best for that. I just use a tiny bit of powder on my T, also Rimmel, Stay Matte.

I barely need the powder but it's lighter than the foundation so it kind of evens out my skin to look more natural.

Also - are you putting on foundation with a soft brush? A friend told me she started doing that and I think it looks so much better this way.

I wish my pores were minimized more but I just got my samples of GlamGlow that I'm using this weekend, so who knows that might be the answer. (fingers crossed)

Re: 35+ what make-up do you use?

I am 44 and still use bare minerals over powder and concealer in the warmer months and actually most of the winter too..

If I am going to dinner or a special event then I use cream foundation Maybelline FIT or the revlon whipped

It's like a tinted moisturizer w more coverage. Not thick , and I feel like my skin looks much better. I was never into makeup on my face bc I feel like it ages the skin. Try it out! I've used garnier, but I like dr. Jart better

My fav as well. I also have BM but most days just wear L'Oreal BB Cream with soe mascara and gloss and I'm out the door.

Re: 35+ what make-up do you use?

How does the BB cream work? I'm so intimidated by foundation creams, because I don't want some horribly looking mask with lines showing where it stops. Is it light & just blends?

Any recs on a place that can assist?

TIA!

Re: 35+ what make-up do you use?

Thank you girls for the BB recs. I purchased one by Loreal & it's so easy to apply.

Should I use a powder on top to set? And if so, any recs?

Also, do you use any moisturizer under?

TIA!!!

Re: 35+ what make-up do you use?

Almost 35, and I use a tinted moisturizer. Anything heavier and it settles into my fine lines. I also use a cream blush. If I get too shiny, I use a light translucent powder on my t-zone.
