Finish is personal
Luminous, natural and matte finishes can all work beautifully on mature skin. I care about how a foundation sits on the skin I actually have and whether I like the way I look in it.
Wear your usual skincare underneath
A foundation can look perfect over a store primer and behave completely differently over my moisturizer and sunscreen. I want to test the combination I’ll really wear.
Check again a few hours later
I look in natural light after application and again a few hours later. Settling, dryness, shine, color change and comfort tell me the full story.
