L'Oreal ParisAge Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation with SPF 50, Cream Beige, 1 Ounce

I have used this foundation for years after trying many, and it’s my favorite! It gives great coverage while being lightweight, and is gentle on the skin, due to the anti-oxidants and the SPF 50. The best color for me in the winter is Golden Ivory and in the summer I mix it with the Golden beige for a more tanned look. I recommend this product!

I'm 49 years old and spent a lifetime wearing minimal makeup. I'm talking some mascara, lipstick and maybe a little bronzer. I quit using foundation when I was 16 and realized last summer that I'd better figure out how to use it again, because I NEEDED it!! Needless to say, learning about makeup at my age was an eye-opening experience, and it was startling to realize that so many foundations made me look so much OLDER after I applied them. So, it's been an ongoing search, and an incredibly frustrating one, at times.This foundation can be gorgeous and produce such a glowing, healthy look to your skin....but you really need to be aware of how you prep you skin and be aware of how to deal with it after it's on your skin. This foundation contains sodium hyaluronate (a form of hyaluronic acid) which is all the rage in skin care and it's now making its way into makeup. Which can cause some real problems if you're not prepared for it. If you live in a dry climate (I do) or it's winter (it is) then the thing that hyaluronic acid (I'm just gonna call it HA from here on) needs to work, which is water, is seriously lacking. It can still work for you though.Make sure your skin is well moisturized prior to application. I'd recommend skipping the sponge, although if you do use one, make sure it's damp....even just a touch damper than you would usually use it. I use a brush AND my fingers.....my fingers in areas where I want heavier coverage and buffing it on with a brush where I want lighter coverage. I also set it very lightly.It doesn't settle into lines and wrinkles like most other foundations. Now it's not going to smooth them out for you, they're still going to be there. What I'm saying is that it doesn't migrate and cake up in them. It sinks into the skin beautifully. The next step, for me at least, is crucial right now, since the air is so dry here. After I've set it lightly with a finishing powder, I hit it GENEROUSLY with a dewy setting spray. It has made all the difference. If it starts to feel dry through the day, I'll give it a quick spritz in that area and that seems to solve the problem.It wears REALLY well, I'd say 8-10 hours. The finish isn't luminous, it's more of a healthy glow that looks really amazing and just seems to get better through the day. I think this is going to be AMAZING this summer when the humidity returns because it's such a lightweight, moisturizing formula and that extra moisture in the air will make using this foundation a breeze. PLUS, I love the SPF in this. That doesn't mean I skip my regular SPF, because for SPF to work you've got to put on a certain amount.....and I don't care what anyone says, there is no way I'll be convinced that this is enough to provide adequate protection. But at the same time, I'll never say no to MORE protection. Ever.The coverage is what I would call a light to medium coverage. I can still see my areas of broken veins/redness peeking through where they are most concentrated. I ordered Ivory as I'm fair skinned (red hair, blue eyes, pasty white skin during winter) and the color match was good. Overall, if you experience dryness with this, don't be afraid to work with it to provide some moisture because the results are definitely worth it!!!

Aside from the fact that my first tube arrived used and covered in dried foundation, I was pleasantly surprised by this product. I thought that it only had light/serum-esque coverage, but was happy to discover it actually leans towards more medium coverage. I love the finish of it which leaves the skin looking healthy and fresh. Because I have combo skin, I did find that it became a little oily in my T-Zone as the day continued, but it was nothing a little powder couldn't fix. My only complaint is that it's hard to shade match because they don't list undertones for the shades, but overall I'm super happy and haven't been able to stop using it.

This face foundation is simply amazing. The coverage is medium, but it can be easily built up to full coverage without feeling heavy. I love that it blends perfectly and leaves a natural, matte finish. Plus, it's impressively long-lasting; it lasts all day without needing to be touched up, even on my combination skin. It hasn't caused me to break out, which is a huge plus for my sensitive skin. The packaging is practical and easy to use. I would definitely recommend it to those looking for a good-quality foundation that works in both hot and cold weather.

The foundation with SPF 50 offers great sun protection, but the Ivory Beige shade turned out to be too orange for my skin tone. It provides good coverage, but I’ll need to try a different color next time.

I bought this, hoping to cover a red spot on my face that was frozen by the dermatologist. It was easy to match my color and gave me a natural look. I found that 2 coats covered my red spot well and it lasted throughout the day. I am very happy with this and hope the serum will help with my fine lines.

great for older skin. good sun protection...blends well. will buy again.

I like full coverage but I have decided that it’s time to slow down on the makeup and use way less.I’m 60, and I have a few fine lines that my makeup usually get into.All makeup is going to settle into lines and wrinkles. It just is. But this makeup does so less than nearly everything I’ve even tried.This makeup is very moisturizing. If you’re dry this will help. If you’re a bit oily in areas, like me, you will get oily during the day. Blot it.I got the lightest based on revues that said the lightest wasn’t super light. They are right, but it’s light. I think the next shade up would be better for my ivory skin with yellow undertones.It lasts all day and looks great and makes my skin feel great. It’s not full coverage like I’m used to and it makes me feel like I’m wearing a lot less because it seems light.I’m going to try the next shade and see if that works better for me. But all in all it’s a nice makeup if you have pretty flawless skin with minimal wrinkles and it’s also dry- this is for you!!!
