Finding the best drugstore foundations for mature skin used to feel like looking for a needle in a haystack\u2014shades ran too light, textures were too thick, and anything with real coverage seemed to magnify dryness or fine lines. But these more approachable foundations have since caught up, delivering high-end performance without the high-end price. \u201cDrugstore foundations are now better than ever,\u201d says Catrina Breitweiser, a makeup artist based in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, who has noticed formulas becoming more hydrating, flexible, and skin-like across price points.<\/p>\n

    As skin naturally becomes drier with age, foundation for mature skin has to do more than just even out tone\u2014it has to stay flexible and move with the skin, rather than sit on top and settle into fine lines. Experts recommend looking for barrier-supportive ingredients that make that possible: \u201cHyaluronic acid, glycerin, squalane, ceramides, and vitamin E help hydrate, plump, and keep the skin comfortable throughout the day,\u201d says Breitweiser. That added hydration gives the formula a bit of \u201cslip,\u201d allowing it to glide over texture and shift with facial expressions rather than cracking or caking as the hours go on. Combine that with the fact that shade ranges and finishes have improved dramatically, and shopping at the drugstore has never been more worthwhile for aging skin.<\/p>\n
