My Best Foundations for Mature Skin: Unlock Your Beauty Confidence!

95% saw younger-looking skin!*

Light coverage. Luminous finish. ‘No foundation’ look.

Is it real? Or is it UNREAL? Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick is my ‘no foundation’ foundation that gives every skin type an ethereal glow. This illuminating foundation stick is perfect for lifting the look of mature skin while providing light, natural-looking coverage.

The power of lighting can transform the way you look; with this flattering foundation stick, I wanted to channel the radiant glow of beauty lights by creating a luminous formula that cascades light across the face to lift and light up the look of your features. Mature skin is prone to dehydration and dullness, so a foundation like Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick can act like a spotlight that brings the appearance of a mature complexion back to life.

This foundation stick is also enriched with a powerful skin barrier defence matrix that’s clinically proven to help strengthen your skin barrier. As we age, our skin barrier can weaken and may struggle to retain water; my UNREAL complex of hyaluronic acid, Daikon radish seed oil, and vitamin E helps to hydrate and gives mature skin a youth-boosting effect that reduces the appearance of wrinkles.

It’s also infused with Collageneer™ which helps to improve the look and feel of skin firmness and elasticity while defining the appearance of facial contours. This plant-powered ingredient is perfect for mature skin types that experience depleted collagen production.

Full coverage. Lightweight feel. Natural-matte finish.

I formulated AIRbrush Flawless Foundation to provide full, flawless-looking coverage that feels weightless and easy to wear for every skin type.

The concern when applying a full-coverage foundation onto mature skin is that foundation will settle into fine lines and wrinkles and end up looking heavy and cakey. I made sure to create a self-setting, stay-all-day formula that looks flattering on mature skin, and I selected hydrating, youth-boosting ingredients to help reduce signs of ageing over time.

AIRbrush Flawless Foundation is supercharged with 2% REPLEXIUM™, marrying the skin-perfecting powers of a foundation and the skincare benefits of a serum to make skin look more youthful with every wear!

It also has a hydrating, natural-looking, matte finish that gives mature skin the smoothing, blurring effect of a matte foundation without looking flat or emphasising dullness, dark spots, or dry patches.

Discover skincare for mature skin

One of the defining features of mature skin is the emergence of signs of ageing like fine lines and wrinkles. Some foundations are formulated with skincare ingredients that are proven to reduce the appearance of signs of ageing and help skin to look more youthful which makes them a great option for mature skin. If you want your foundation to work in tandem with your anti-ageing skincare routine, reach for a formula like AIRbrush Flawless Foundation that’s infused with powerful REPLEXIUM™ and is proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by up to 22%***.

As skin gets older, the skin barrier can weaken which can cause less effective water retention. Whenever I create a new foundation innovation, I ensure that it’s infused with hydrating skincare that will provide skin-reviving moisture that helps skin to look and feel its best. To give mature skin a surge of hydration, reach for a foundation that’s infused with powerful skin hydrators like hyaluronic acid to give skin a hydrated, healthy-looking appearance.

Skincare and makeup go hand in hand, darlings! Whenever I create a new product – whether it’s a magic moisturiser or a flawless foundation – it goes through extensive trials to make sure it will layer beautifully with the other products in your beauty routine. The power of layering is the secret to getting a perfect blend from your foundation and avoiding any pilling, balling, or separating, and each of my foundations will smooth effortlessly over the top of skincare for mature skin.

Any foundation finish can look wonderful on mature skin, but I tend to find that a natural-finish foundation is the most flattering type of foundation to reach for. Some matte foundations can emphasise the appearance of fine lines in mature skin, and some glowy foundations can draw attention to skin texture and wrinkles. Natural-finish foundations have the most skin-like appearance and can be the most forgiving for mature skin.

Tilbury Tip: Each of my Charlotte Tilbury foundations are created with a natural-looking finish. Choose AIRbrush Flawless Foundation for a natural-matte look; Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick for a super-natural glow; or Charlotte’s Beautiful Skin Foundation for a healthy, natural finish.
