I'm 71, and the most-important products for me are those that address skin health. I now have a great "arsenal" of healthy skin-care products. However, I would like to use foundation sometimes. Foundations are tricky for older skin; they can settle into lines and small wrinkles and draw attention to what one is trying to hide! I'd love for you to do a video on foundations that tend to work on mature skin (that is still in pretty good shape) and that improve the look of one's skin while still looking skin-like and as natural as possible. I also want foundations that don't harm the skin and thus undo all the improvement achieved from the care products. By the way, I love your videos and that you put skin health above everything else.

I never used the old Mac face and body but I absolutely love the new one, I had to find a replacement for the Dior face and body that Sephora had but has since discontinued. THAT one was amazing! It's a little more luminous than I'd like but that's easily fixed with a little powder. I get compliments on my skin ALL THE TIME when I wear it and I'm 57!

I have LOTS of foundations in my arsenal (kissed alot of frogs!) from Loreal to Armani & Dior. They're all okay but, believe it or not, my holy grail is the Ulta Complexion Crush. It's $14! Not that price matters--I have some high dollar stuff. But the Ulta looks good on my mature skin! It's a natural, skin-like finish and it lasts all day! I use a setting spray lightly for longer wear. I reach for it even for special occasions--over my Armani, Dior or Charlotte Tilbury! I'd be curious to know what you think.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video. It may not seem like an important topic to some, but it’s one of the questions I’m always wondering when I watch a Dermatologist’s video. My favorite foundation for when I want or need some extra coverage is the Armani Luminous Silk (oil free) foundation (I’m not sure of the exact name). For a light everyday tinted moisturizer I use bareMinerals Complexion Rescue with spf 30. 😊

I try many foundations but always go back to the original Bare Minerals powder foundation. Love how easy it is and how it gives my face coverage without feeling heavy.

Your skin and makeup look flawless, I looked at what you're wearing and it looks like several steps to look so natural and good. Could you please do a video of this makeup look. Just a video of you using each product to get your final look. I'm fair like you and am not sure how to use a bronzing step etc. Please Please it would be such a helpful video.

My favorite among the 30-ish that I own is probably the Pat McGrath foundation. Most important in mature skin is the super sheer application I only get with an Artis makeup brush. I can’t tell you how many compliments I get on my skin. And I’m 65. 😂

Thanks for great vid, Dr. Sam 😘 Mac Face & Body is my all time fave, too!! Mac says, that new one is same in new packaking, and it also feels same to me. My dry, sensitive, rocasea prone skin also likes new It Cosmetics CC Nude Glow, and Erborian CC Red Correct. Both are very skin like, It is little more luminous, but Erborian corrects red best. (I usually avoid fragrances on my face, but these have very light scent, and doesn’t bother my skin. Also love, that they are cruelty free ❤️).

Love hearing your foundation faves! I always love Dior but I don't love the fragrance in it. Currently I do rotate their matte formula, which is not particularly matte imo, and Pat McGrath Skin Fetish. I think they're very similar. I also love the new Nars foundation but finding the right color match has been difficult for some reason. I suspect my coloring is similar to yours and I generally use a 2.0 or 2.5 neutral. No idea why Nars is tricky but nice formula. I am also a longtime Chanel fan and used to work behind the Chanel counter years ago which was so much fun!

I was obsessed with MAC studio fix powder foundation in mid 2000s and I loved it when I put on as I have oily skin, and my skin broke out so badly red pimples all around... It was one of the biggest disappointments in my 20s. Many years later Ive read online alot of people break out from studio fix. I still dont know what ingredient cause it but they never renewed their oily skin/acne prone skin products formulas. I wish they had a clean line for sensitive skin like some brands have.

Even using a very careful skin regimen, I was still struggling with occasional acne on the cheeks. I started using the Clinique Even Better Serum Foundation, and I haven't had a pimple since. It works best applied with fingers, over well moisturized skin, in my experience. Usually Clinique's lightest shades are too dark for me, but the lightest shade of this is a perfect match for my very fair neutral skin tone! It has something in it to fight dark spots, three types of vitamin C, salicylic acid, and hyaluronic acid. It is lightweight but has excellent coverage, so I only use a both half a pump a day, and it's buildable so I don't need a separate concealer. It has a satin finish and comes in 42 shades. So if you are acne prone and struggling with that last little big of occasional acne, or are prone to dark spots, and want excellent cake-free coverage, this might be worth a shot. I tried using a full pump the first time and it was way too much, but a half pump is perfect! Only drawback for me is that it tends to settle slightly in the fine lines around my eyes, and I have to sort of tap it back into place. It's on the pricey side for me, but I'm expecting the bottle to last me about a full year, the way I use it. It's considered full coverage, but I always go for a natural look, and that hasn't been a hindrance.

I am 57, going on 58 and I have been using foundation every day since I was 19. I never leave my house without wearing it, and I find it a hassle. My skin is oily and acne prone with very few wrinkles. I never used actives until just recently. I thought all this skincare would leave me to have no need to wear foundation, but when you as a dermatologist have large pores and redness that needs coverup, then I wonder if it is a lost battle? How do we get a clear complection so we don't need to hide our skin? I am so tired of wearing foundation but I never can be seen without it 😢😢
