For Fine Lines
Buy It: It Cosmetics Bye Bye Lines Foundation, $38; itcosmetics.com
Think of this as a tinted anti-aging serum. It’s formulated with the youth-enhancing properties typically found in skincare (like collagen, argan oil, caviar extract and hyaluronic acid) to firm and plump. Pure color pigments are then added into the mix to create an airbrushed finish, which helps disguise fines lines.
For Sagginess
Buy It: Lancôme Renergie Lift Makeup Foundation, $47; nordstrom.com
Its hefty price tag is worth every penny since its high-tech formula is designed to attack signs of aging on multiple fronts. First, it’s infused with waxes that help shape and firm. Then plumping, microscopic bubbles fill in fine lines while a botanical blend of ingredients invigorates skin. The result: A tout, lifted complexion that radiates your younger self.
For Uneven Texture
