- Skin: very light, with freckles, thin, dry.
- Usually uses: Erborian bb crème nude and Dr.Jart+ Dr.Jart Beauty Balm Silver Label, Dr.Jart Premium Beauty Balm.
Anti-aging foundation Sisleya Le Teint, Sisley
Sisleya Le Teint has a liquid texture, but it is difficult to apply in an even layer (I do it with my hands). The cream does not want to be absorbed or smooth out the texture, much less hide my freckles. It sinks into the pores and your face turns speckled. Plus it gets into fine wrinkles and emphasizes them.
Price: 10,960 rub. in Ile de Beaute.
Capture Totale Triple Correcting foundation serum, Dior
I liked the matte finish and the fact that the cream spreads well and smoothes out wrinkles. Lasts well until evening. I would put it on a par with my favorites (Erborian and Dr.Jart+), if not for the very light disguise. The cream can be layered, but then the shade, which is not quite suitable for me, becomes even darker.
Price: 5870 rub. at L'Etoile.
How to apply correctly
The difference in the technique of placing foundation on your skin depends on its texture.
Creamy foundations are applied with your fingertips. For more liquid textures, as well as powder, a brush or sponge is usually used.
If you are planning to create makeup for an evening event, apply it in a slightly larger layer to even out the relief of the dermis. This technique will ensure that all unevenness is removed and your face will become more expressive.
To apply daytime makeup, place a small amount of product on the following areas: forehead, middle of cheekbones and chin. Then blend the tone, smoothly moving from the middle of the zone to the sides using top-down movements.

- Skin: normal, slight pigmentation.
- Usually uses: everything that his beloved daughter brings. Particularly respects La Prairie and La Mer.
Foundation care cream that gives radiance Sublimage Le Teint, Chanel
I really liked the jar and brush right away. But anyway, at first, out of habit, I applied the product with my hands and wondered why the tone, which costs so much, did not cause me such delight: it was thick, dry and somehow applied strangely. I complained to Yana. She, of course, said that I didn’t understand anything (what else could my daughter say?%), and during the conversation she found out that I didn’t use a brush. I immediately received a scolding. I corrected myself - and things got better. This brush is densely packed, elastic, with it the cream is consumed less, lies thinner and feels much more pleasant on the face. I get compliments at work and I like myself better in photographs. I wish I could learn not to lose this brush... But what can you do, sclerosis! :)
Price: 9799 rub. at L'Etoile.
Foundation Desiner Lift, Giorgio Armani
I fell in love with this cream right away. Its coverage is lighter, and it masks some imperfections less easily. But it is very easily and simply spread on the face with your fingers and gives such a sleek, well-groomed look that it’s just lovely! In general, if I took as many selfies as Yana, and knew how to use brushes so well, I would use Chanel. But since I’m still not a beauty blogger, but the mother of a beauty blogger, I vote for ease of use over camouflage. But, by the way, I can say that both products really seem to have skincare properties. I once tried just some kind of foundation N (I say, sclerosis, I forgot the name) - and immediately felt that the skin under it was drying out. With these, on the contrary, he feels good. According to age, of course, but still.

Customer reviews Read here about the differences between CC cream and BB cream. Almira: “This cream was lying in my cosmetic bag for a long time, I bought it spontaneously, the letters SS did not mean anything. Then my skin began to become covered with age spots, and I decided to try it. First, I applied it with my fingers, the cream went on in patches and added some bumpiness to the texture. When I looked in the mirror, I was horrified.
I sat, thought, and got down to business again. She moistened her face with cream, squeezed out the sponge properly and spread the cream over the skin with dipping movements. As a result, I really got almost perfect coverage. Now I use this foundation all the time.”
Caramel: “I gave my mom Lumene CC Color Correcting, she was pleased)) At 67 years old, the cream was perfect! (there are problems: rosacea on the wings of the nose, age-related wrinkles, sensitive, thin skin).”
Natka: “And I support Lumene. CC cream is the best of all the luxury ones I have tried in my life. True, my skin is still oily. I don’t know how it looks dry.”

Customer Reviews
Karina: “I bought the foundation in a tester, it turns out cheaper. The Internet is full of such offers. The aroma of the product is magical, a mix of flowers, expensive powder and luxury. However, the Guerlain brand has always distinguished itself favorably from other companies in its scents.
Parure foundation makes my skin look perfect. Men and girlfriends give compliments. Nice! If he hadn’t once given me yellowness, I would have given him a solid A. And so, 4 plus . I recommend it to those who have money for it.”
Maria: “A friend also gave me a Parure Gold tester. At first, a subtle aroma is felt on the face, but it does not have time to become boring and disappears. If we talk about the results without advertising blah blah blah, then the cream should give the skin radiance, smooth out wrinkles, and remove dark spots. What do we really have? In reality, it does not shine, but it looks decent and is practically invisible on the skin . I like."
AnnaKarina: “The Guerlain ParureGold cream with SPF 30 is very long-lasting and stays on for up to 12 hours without slipping or clogging pores. I love the slight glow that the cream gives to the face after application. It seems that the face does not shine, but glows from within, the skin looks well-groomed and “expensive”. At the same time, the product mattifies the skin, making it velvety. Magically! Still, it is rather a dense texture, so when a weightless coating is needed, I mix it in half with liquid meteorites.
To summarize, I can confidently recommend a product that really works and is beautifully designed. A bottle of ParureGold will decorate your dressing table!”
Customer reviews about choosing a cream
Lydia, 58 years old: “As you get older, you always want to look beautiful. I started using foundation creams in my youth, and I’ve tried everything. I used Ruby Rose cosmetics for a long time, but recently I noticed that the quality of the products began to decline. The store advised me to buy a foundation from Vichy. It hides wrinkles perfectly, especially under the eyes. I liked that the cream has virtually no odor and can be easily removed with micellar water. But the cost, of course, bites.”
Maria, 49 years old: “I use foundation from Giorgio Armani. I really like that it doesn’t wash off in streaks from the face when you have to be very active. The effect lasts for almost 10 hours. There is no feeling of a mask on the skin, no oily sheen either. The cream is very expensive, but economical. One tube lasts me almost six months.”
The choice of foundation is a purely personal matter. Here you need to build on the expected effect and individual characteristics of the body. Price, of course, also matters, but instead of buying mediocre cosmetics with a dubious effect for pennies, it is better to buy a really worthwhile product once that will last for a long time.
Where can I buy
You can purchase foundations from the famous perfumery and cosmetics chain L'Etoile: visit their online store. You can order delivery within the Russian Federation or reserve the goods and pick them up in one of 900 stores in 200 cities of Russia. They have a wide selection, often have promotions, discounts and gifts with purchase.
You should not be afraid of the common opinion that “any foundation dries out the skin and causes rashes.” This is a fairly common understanding in evaluating foundation. It is much more important to spend a little time to acquire the necessary information about cosmetics for different skin types that specifically address age-related problems, and to determine your rating for cosmetics for the care of aging skin.
A properly selected cream will not only restore youth and radiance to your skin, it will help restore its elasticity, nourish and protect from harmful ultraviolet radiation. The results obtained from its use will lift your spirits and allow you to feel like a young resource for the number of years that are characteristic of your sense of self.
