I test so many complexion products day in and day out that I thought it was time for a true “best of” post for those that I think work well for mature skin. My skin has drastically changed in the past 3-4 years. Now at 46, the products I used to love on my skin no longer work and often look terrible. I love a full face of makeup for every day but still want me look to be natural and soft. Never too heavy or cakey which is definitely doable with the right products. Typically the issues for mature skin are dryness, texture (fine lines, etc) and dullness so I am always in search of products that help to counteract these concerns. I prefer a natural skin-like finish to my skin – nothing too dewy or too matte. Blurring products and soft focus finishes are EVERYTHING especially for mature skin so I actively seek out formulas that are designed to provide that. I have compiled a list of my favorite complexion products that work for mature skin. This covers concealers, traditional foundations, skin tints/tinted SPFs and setting products/powders. I plan to update this list over time so be sure to bookmark it for easy reference!

Best Complexion Products For Mature Skin

Concealer

Sarah Creal Beauty Face Flex Concealer & Complexion Enhancer

The Face Flex Concealer and Complexion Enhancer is designed to be a multi-purpose complexion product that moves with your face throughout the day without creasing or fading for up to 12 hours. It conceals, corrects and adds just enough coverage. I personally use it only as a concealer but it can easily be dabbed all over the face and blended out as a light foundation or complexion enhancer. It’s moisturizing and slightly blurring.

Natasha Denona Hy-Glam Brightening & Hydrating Concealer

This is formulated to be a serum-like concealer with medium to buildable full coverage. You can instantly feel the serum texture as soon as you swipe it on the skin. It’s incredibly creamy, hydrating and smoothing yet still covers anything and everything I need. It contains biomimetic pigments and texture-perfecting microspheres which gives it a flawless and slightly blurring aspect.

MAKE Beauty Skin Mimetic Concealer

Another serum concealer that instantly impressed me and would be perfect for dry, textured or mature skin. It provides light coverage in a serum-like consistency with a radiant dewy finish. While it’s somewhat buildable, it’s not meant to be full coverage. The formula has skin mimicking pigments so it does blend in effortlessly and lasts nearly all day.

RMS Beauty Revitalize Hydra Concealer (discount code: Maree-15)

For a medium coverage hydrating concealer with skincare ingredients, this is the one to try! It blends like an absolute dream, doesn’t emphasize fine lines and LASTS ALL DAY! This is  one of the longest wearing concealers I have ever tried. Especially for those with dry eyes and mature skin, this is a must try.

Ilia Skin Blur Serum Concealer

An absolute dream for mature skin! This concealer truly blurs in the most amazing way. It has a satin finish that gives a soft focus luminosity to the skin. In addition to the incredible blurring properties, it stays put all day long.

Setting Products

Kosas Cloud Set Brightening Powder

I don’t know what magic they put in this powder or how it was formulated but this pressed powder is one of the best powders I have ever tried! Talk about blurring and smoothing – holy cow! It’s absolutely amazing how well this powder sits on the skin and manages to mattify without making the skin look too flat or dull. I bought the pink shade and it is perfect for brightening.

Danessa Myricks Liquid Blurring Balm Spray

This is like a filter for your face. It blurs, gives a soft velvet finish and makes your makeup last ALL DAY LONG! And as someone who has never found use in a setting spray, this has become a non-negotiable for my everyday makeup. It is GORGEOUS!!

Saie Slip Tint Baked Setting Powder

This finely milled setting powder gives a soft radiant finish that takes away excess shine.

Givenchy Prisme Libre Pressed Powder

This pressed powder feels like combination of the Kosas and Saie together. It’s blurring and helps to mattify slightly but still leaves a soft luminous finish to the skin.

Tinted Sunscreens/Skin Tints

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50

This is a tinted SPF that goes on white and then transforms into a skin tone shade when you blend it in. It provides medium coverage that can be built up if needed. For me, it has a dewy and radiant finish that lasts ALL day long.

Merit Beauty The Uniform Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 45

This formula has a natural skin-like finish so it would be great for almost all skin types. It gives much more coverage than I anticipated which I love. I can wear it as my foundation for the day while also getting great sun protection.

L’Oreal True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum

For a great drugstore option, this Hyaluronic Tinted Serum is a lightweight skin tint with skincare benefits. It’s weightless, provides light to light-medium coverage and blends effortlessly into the skin.

Versed Skin Multi-Serum Skin Tint SPF 40

Lightweight and skin-like, this tint evens out the complexion perfectly while also providing SPF 40 sun protection.

Missha M Perfect BB Cream

Even though this BB cream gives medium to medium-full coverage, it manages to feel like I’m wearing nothing on my skin. Additionally, it is one of my longest wearing foundations! It gives my skin the creamiest and smoothest finish while also providing sun protection.

Naked Sundays BeautyScreen SPF 50 Peptide Foundation Tint

This is an Australian brand and honestly if there is one country that understands sun protection – it is Australia! This is a thin and lightweight tint that gives sheer coverage with a radiant satin finish.  It’s formulated with peptides and squalane so it delivers skincare benefits while also providing a light tint for everyday.

Trinny London BFF De-Stress

A long time favorite for me because it makes my skin instantly look healthy and fresh. It contains various skincare ingredients which help to plump and hydrate the skin. The finish always looks like my skin but better – never too dewy or too flat.

Foundation

Natasha Denona Hy-Glam Foundation

If you want a true foundation for special occasions, this is fantastic. The key for me is using the tiniest amount of product and applying it with a damp makeup sponge. It’s one of the longest lasting formulas I’ve tried while still keeping a hydrated and blurred finish throughout the day.

Merit Beauty The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick

The Merit Minimalist Complexion Stick gives a creamy satin finish to the skin, sheer to light coverage and easy application with the stick format.

Westman Atelier Vital Skin Foundation Stick

Hands down my favorite foundation stick is this one by Westman Atelier. It gives light coverage that can be built up, blends in seamlessly and makes your skin look like it’s just had a facial. It’s fresh and dewy without ever being too glowy. It is truly the perfect embodiment of a skin-like complexion product that manages to look better as the day goes on!

Dior Forever Skin Perfect Stick Foundation

When I want a slightly more satin finish to the skin, I love to use this Dior stick foundation. It’s natural looking while still giving medium coverage, all day wear and a smoothing filter like finish to the skin.

Bandana print is everywhere and will be a huge trend for summer. It took me a while to get into it, but as more brands put out there version of this classic print I find myself loving it more and more. I rounded up some of my favorite bandana pieces to wear this summer.

Trending Bandana Print Pieces I’m Loving For Summer

Madewell Cami Midi Slip Dress

I love the simplicity of this slip dress. The bandana print is all over but for some reason, it looks neutral and timeless. This is the perfect kind of piece to dress up or down for the summer.

J.Crew Gemma One-Piece Swimsuit

Though bandana print may be trending at the moment, a swimsuit in the print looks less trendy and a bit more classic. Especially in black and white, it’s a print that you can wear summer after summer.

Beach Riot Sunny Sarong

While this is not from the same brand, this bandana print sarong would look so cute with the swimsuit. Since the print is only on the edges, it will work easily with a ton of different swimsuits.

THE GREAT Big Bandana Scarf

This is one of the brands that really brought back the bandana print in a fashionable way. They launched these large bandana print cashmere scarves that became hugely popular. I love how they have styled draped over a simple white tee and black jeans. It’s a great outerwear option for mild temperatures but still adds so much interest to a basic outfit.

Call It By Your Name Mini Basket

I’ve shared my love for this handbag brand so many times and want to get a bag from them. They are all so unique and can be personalized as well. The contrasting colors and prints of the bag versus handle adds so much to the overall style and look. If this bag isn’t your vibe, there are a TON of other options plus makeup bags and pouches to choose from.

Madewell Medium Silk Bandana

A simple silk bandana scarf worn around the neck is still one of the most classic ways to wear this trend.

Avec Les Filles Patchwork Jacket

If you are iffy on wearing all bandana print, having it as a small piece of a patchwork print is a great option. I love how understated the bandana print is on this jacket.

Maria La Rose Bandana Bag

Even though this bag is ALL bandana print, the large scale of the print spreads it out making it less obvious. It’s a fun way to add some print to an outfit but still keep it in neutral colors.

Marc Jacobs The Bandana Print Leather Sack Bag

Out of all the bags I featured, this one is the most quirky and unique! The bandana print is styled as a bandana on the large leather bag which I’m absolutely obsessed with!!

J.Crew Cosmo Pant

Printed pants are everywhere in the summer so this is a great way to lean into the bandana trend but embrace this easy summer aesthetic. I envision these pants worn with a simple white tank, chunky colorful jewelry and white slides for the perfect beach vacation look.
