L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation with SPF 50, Almond, 1 Ounce

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!!!

I love this foundation. It goes on smoothly and is not drying. My face feels hydrated all day. It also covers well.

Seems to cover well. Some say it’s sheer, but for me it seemed more opaque (maybe application style?) which is great if that’s what you’re going for. I think I’ll save this for Wintertime when my skin is a bit drier. It’s definitely dewy, and maybe a little too dewy for humid summers in Arkansas. I’m 54 years old with normal to dry skin. It definitely feels good and nourishing on the skin. I bought this just before purchasing No 7’s Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced All-in-One Foundation for comparison. The No 7 is barely dewy. So, I think the No 7 is going to work better for summer & other seasons. Really hope this helps!

I like that this foundation is light weight, does not feel cakey, and has sunscreen - SPF50. The tan 110 is a great color match for my complexion better than any high end foundation I’ve tried. I also like that it is hydrating. I use this in foundation in the Florida summer heat & humidity and this foundation doesn’t melt into your skin. I am 54 years old and feel like the product makes me look younger. I have a ton of allergies (get allergy shots) L’Oreal age perfect radiant serum does not cause me to have any allergy reactions. I would give it TEN Stars!!!’

I was pretty excited to find a tinted spf, I usually use only a tinted moisturizer but it doesn't contain any spf (so if I want to reapply spf it messes with the top layer of tined moisturizer). Once I got the correct color, the match was good. I like the coverage this gives (medium) however I hate that it retains the dewy/clammy look on my skin so I look shiny/greasy and it's keeps settling into my fine lines. I use a brush to clean it out of my wrinkes (I'm 44) and minutes later there's more again. I tried using my setting powder but it didn't help with either problem. I've been wearing it for about an hour now and I'm pretty over it. I won't be purchasing this again.

Good coverage, appearance, good price.

Full coverage. goes on nice full coverage has a nice glow to it. A healthy look, best drug store foundation I used. Price point is unbelievable.

Good product, creamy finish, good coverage and no caking. Brightens tone and looks good on older skin.

This is a very nice foundation. It melts into the skin and is not cakey. Highly recommend

Very smooth and very nice and easy to spread on the face

Great Furniture skin and looks like you don’t have any makeup on

I adore this product. Unfortunately L’Oréal stopped making it but Amazon thankfully carries it. This foundation goes in light, coverage is great and best of all it does not sit of cake in your fine lines. I cannot say enough about this product.

Great
