Favorite makeup, face wrinkle solvers: What works, what doesn’t?

Hello and hope all are well. I have one hi end skin lotion Estee Swiss Extract I have used for 34 years & feel it has been as active as any other promise on my skin. Recently diagnosed with Copd I am glad to say I can still rely on my Estee Swiss Extract as so much in my life has become limited dur to Copd . I feel if it makes a person smile with confidence it is so very worth the splurge . Regards and Blessings

Hello! I know I am late to the party, but I can relate to so many of the same things! My gosh!

My daughter got me the same liquid foundation for my bday from Chanel and I agree. Too dry! I am a gal in my early 60's now so you're right that things just seem to dry out with time. After I finally was able to empty the Chanel gift, I started trying the Flower Beauty Serum Foundation and it's been really good so far. Highly recommend it. I think I got it at Target or Ulta for like $15.

El Cheap-O Rides Again: Makeup at lower prices
THEN
On eyeliner, brows, and mascara, I used to spin $100 plus on these three. Ugh!
Also, wore budget breaking facial make-up. Not anymore!
NOW
I order from Amazon or go to Target or drug stores.
I wear Maybelline sometimes Cover Girl or what is on sale.
Night Creams Cera Ve. Splurge Sephora ($50) *
Lipsticks Maybelline or L’Oréal or PDL (great!) on Amazon ($22)
Japanese skin creams on Amazon are reasonable
Drug store body creams like CeraVe are good
Check sales or http://www.self.com or drugstores.
*Sephora interesting. Made in Paris. Originally owned by Louis Vuitton.
Amazing products mid priced at times. Watch sales here.
Here’s to avoiding high prices and lookin’ good with a lower budget!

I am not sure, I buy high end and they work good. I am 80 yrs. and have very dry skin. I use serum and moisturizer usually from HSN. Most I buy are made in other Countries.

I have used Clinique liquid makeup for years. I'm 79 and it goes on smoothly and a bottle lasts a long time. Plus they don't test it on animals. It's a little expensive about $32 but they always give you free gifts with a purchase like lipsticks etc. I haven't paid for a lipstick yet! I also use their deep comfort cream on my dry skin. It works great!

@lucina77 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! It seems as we mature, our skin can take on a life of its own, and what we used before may not seem beneficial anymore. For me, I use liquid Castile soap, Dr. Bronners brand, my moisturizer has a sunscreen in it. Usually the Walmart version of Oil of Olay, for sensitive skin. I also use Drmtlgy brand universal tint moisturizer with SPF 46. L'Oreal Faux Brow pencil because my eyebrows have basically been cut away due to skin cancer surgeries. And that's it!
