L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation Makeup, 40 Natural Buff, 1 fl oz

I have been wearing Lancome foundation for a while but I am trying to save money so I read reviews and searched for a lower priced brand that would be comparable to Lancome. L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation was on several "best of" lists and when I Googled "dupes for Lancome", it was recommended. I was going to get it in 10 Ivory as my complexion is very fair with cool undertones but it was out so I got 15 Rose Ivory instead. I think that it was a blessing that the Ivory was not available. It turns out that the Rose Ivory is perfect and I can't believe how much better it looks on my face than the lighter shade. It is thinner than Lancome but is buildable. It feels really nice going on and is easy to apply. I have applied it with my fingers and with a brush. I think it looks better using a brush but using fingers was ok too. I did not detect any scent when applying it which I really appreciate. I have sensitive, very dry skin. I use a primer that contains sunscreen under the foundation. The foundation does not look cakey and doesn't appear to settle into my fine lines or wrinkles. I wish it provided a bit more coverage to cover up the sun damage. Texas sun is unforgiving, I will repurchase it the future as needed. If you're wondering, I am currently 61 years young and will be 62 in 3 months. Growing up, we never ever heard of sunscreen. I am not sure if SPF was even around then. I lived in the country and pretty much stayed outside all day, when possible. This is my PSA: regardless of your age, wear sunscreen...especially on your face. I always thought anything like face cream/lotion was for older people. It used to be called vanishing cream because it was supposed to make wrinkles vanish. (it didn't of course) Start taking care of your skin and protecting it now. even if you are in your teens, 20s, etc. The end :)

Love this makeup. Easy to use. I have been using makeup a long time so I know what works! Just a little bit and your face looks brand new. I am 75 but everyone I meet thinks I am in my 50's Do not tell them different!
