My Top "Clean" Foundation Picks for Women Over 40 

Thank you SOOOO much! I’ve been looking for an affordable clean makeup option and having no luck until I came across your video!! ❤️

Thank you! I'm in my 50's and out looking for clean make up 👍🏻

Thanks for the info on Beauty Counter product! FYI - the Milk Makeup Blue Liquid foundation scores a 4 on EWG, which is not too clean. They list fragrance as well as a few other ingredients as not being good for allergies & immunotoxicity.

Soooo excited to have found you!! I’m on a budget right now, but trying to do more clean beauty. I’m also 59 and love your tips for mature skin! Thank you!!

Thank you. So informative. As a Beautycounter consultant, I agree with your review of the skin twin. I love your explanations about BB creams as well!

I love following you!!! You give the BEST tips!

Thank you! I'm so glad I found you on RU-vid. Been on a mission to change out all cosmetics to clean EWG approved so thank you, thank you!

You consistently tell the truth- thank you!

This was such a helpful video, thank you so much! And a very special thank you for letting me know how to get to "the links below" everyone always references, I had NO CLUE. You look so beautiful!

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to put this video together. Please ignore the haters. It is very kind of you to share your findings, I tremendously appreciate your tips and I think most women would agree with me. 🙏🏻💜😘

I use hydrogrip with any tint or foundation, it is amazing ❤

You look absolutely stunning when you said your age my jaw dropped 😍 thank you for the tips!

Thank you! As a rosacea sufferer I do need full coverage, so thanks for including foundation!

Glad I found your channel. I'm going to look more into the clean beauty idea cause I have had endocrine problems all my life. I'm 50 I wear bare minerals very lightly and it suits me but lately I find my skin craves moisture. I have used that Maybelline BB cream and it is a good pick. Been toying with the idea of possible usage of a primer until you mentioned high toxicity on silicones. I have never found any Ordinary products in my area. You are very beautiful and do not look 53 at all.😊

OMG, I love this video, have been looking forever for clean foundations that are a reasonable cost, I too had tried Beauty Counter however the cost kept me away from repurchase, thank you for this video. I have subscribed looking forward to great videos in future.

This was so informative! I immediately looked up my current BB cream and it score a 3. I had no idea we could look up our products for ingredient breakdown w/safety. That is so important as we age too!! We need to be even more mindful of our health and reducing our exposure to toxins! Thanks again!!! 💕

I'm so glad I found your videos!!

Love love love clean makeup info for mature woman! Thx u

Thank you SO much for the detailed explanations. I had no idea how to look up the toxicity levels. I have often wondered why some products make my eyes water and/or my nose run, especially the fragrance. This might explain it. Thank you!

You are so gorgeous! Thank you for this video. I subscribed 🙏🏼💖

Just stumbled upon your channel ❤🌹. Greyt info. I'm in my 50s so you're right up my alley. Ok, that sounds off. I'm not big on foundation either, since quarantine gave myself A needed break on all things makeup. Placing time and my money on better skin care. Now, going to binge watch your channel.

Thanks I love your channel! Such a great information!

thrilled I found you I also at 56 enjoy the ordinary serum foundation xx

I’ve been using this technique and it’s been working! ❤️ I only put foundation on my cheeks where I get red I use tinted moisturizer everywhere else. And I have oily skin so it doesn’t matter if you have oily skin those fine lines are gonna show. And those areas have to be super hydrated with lightweight products . This is the best technique so far.. The way I keep my makeup on all day having oily skin and textured skin and aging skin is by putting a layer of your favorite setting spray before you put on any make up products. Let it dry completely and then start putting on your make up products. Massaging my face has worked wonders it’s lessened my Mariannette lines, and my nasal label folds dramatically. The trick is you have to drink a bunch of water after. I hope this helps somebody. Join this channel. How stunning is this make up artist? 😍💝❤️

Great video! Thanks so much for all the information you provided. I have some serious Orange Peel skin, and I find that Mac Face & Body does a good job of fixing my color issues without making the texture situation look worse. I recently bought their newest version of it. It works well, but I'm scared to check EWG to see how toxic the ingredients are. But now that I have great alternatives, I will check EWG. Thanks so much!!!

You are a goldmine! Thank you!

More clean beauty, body products and hair product videos please!!!

Love this video, exactly the type of information I was looking for!! I would like to know your thoughts on “Iris and Romeo” best skin days “foundation”

Wow, what an awesome, informative video! I have been searching for years for someone on RU-vid to explain clean foundation in great detail. I appreciate this so much! Can you do an updated favorite foundation video for women in their 30’s? Also, a get ready with me with all your favorite face products, eyeliner, bronzer, mascara, etc.?

Im starting to appreciate how older women look as well as women without makeup. Its a matter of reeducating our brains.

Your beautiful face is popping up all over my feed. RU-vid must know I’m obsessed! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍

I use my foundations with an oil or moisturiser works well

Hi there so glad I found your channel. Loved the tutorial you are very knowledgeable ty Can you kindly tell me the color shade of the Milani cream blush is so stunning very pretty ty

What tool did you use for your hair?? Love it! Would love to have you review more clean beauty.

So helpful! 💖👏🏻Blessings

What is the brush you use for the cream blush? Great informative video TY

Loved this video ... I just subscribed. 💋

Loved this video! So helpful! I came late to the party and I see they discontinued The Ordinary Serum Foundation you loved. What replaced it?

So glad I found your video as I’ve been looking for clean foundation for dry maturing skin. Very informative video.

Hiii :) I’m interested in buying the beautycounter skin twin foundation. Where can I try samples to check which foundation color is right for me? (Their website wasn’t helpful 😞)

I have pores, lord of textures (deep wrinkles), rosacea, sun spots, sun damage, super dry skin…I’m a mess and am 46. I used to use Bare minerals but it caused irritation and accentuated all those lines and made my skin even dryer. So I’m now searching for organic foundation and came across your channel. What would you recommend for me?

Do you put moisturizer under the BB cream before applying the Ordinary foundation? Thank you so much for the very useful video. ❤

Thanks so much for sharing. I’m 47 and my entire body from head to toe is changing lol. My skin and makeup routine I’ve used for years is simply not working anymore. It’s over haul time!! My pores are the worst, I’m hoping to find a resolution from your recommendations. ❣️🙏🏻

Thank you for this! I’m 49 with medium tan skin, large pores, texture and dark spots, looking for something I can wear besides foundation that gives coverage. Do you set your face with powder or spray to make your makeup last?

What about titanium dioxide? It’s soooo hard to find things that don’t have that in it. It’s completely banned in Europe but we still use it a lot here. Think dirty app doesn’t flag it but when I google, it’s a possible carcinogen when inhaled. But I feel like if it’s dangerous when inhaled I probably don’t want it sticking to my skin either…..? Thoughts? This beauty counter one is the only one that doesn’t have it so I’m hoping to try it.

Loved your video ¡ what color you buy the ordinary serum foundation ¿ thanks

Johnson & Johnson putting talc in everything. I know Johnson and Johnson owns Neutrogena.

So glad I found you! I’m trying to reduce toxins due to chronic illness. Makeup is my next area to clean up. What would you say is the best long wear option? I used to love double wear by Estée Lauder because it lasted all day.. but not so good for older skin and sitting in the lines now days. I do like more skin like finish and dewy.. but they don’t usually last. Off to see if you’ve reviewed setting sprays!

I like to use a foundation as a concealer just where I need it which is on my dark circles under my eyes, on my eye lids and around my nose and on my chin. I am 57 and at my age, less is best!

Great video thanks ❤

I am concerned with what you consider “clean”. Both Beauty Counter and The Ordinary have silicone (Dimethicone) in them. Silicones are not good for your skin at all.

Love yr eye make up in this video!! 🥰🥰💋💋

Yes so having probs with visual pores, any recommendations for large pore issues appreciated. 40 going on 41, subbing! Ps thank you so much for making this video, very informative and helpful in making a good choice for my skin as I love makeup and love the natural look! I have the worst skin poss but have cleared up some as I’ve gotten older. I have combination skin, oily in my t-zone, acne prone, sensitive skin, with large pores. And I’m pretty sure I also am dealing w/ rosacea as my face can kind of be redder. Anywhoo if you have anymore videos, tips or tricks you could throw my way I’d be forever grateful, thanks so much! ☺️😁 Also do you have any clean concealer and powder foundation recommendations as I like to use those for a quick on the go makeup?

There are tons of over 40 and over 50 people that use the ordinary. It has some amazing products. There’s even dermatologist on RU-vid that recommend it. I really hope you find him stuff you like when you do the research.

I am so sad that they discontinued The Ordinary Serum Foundation before I could even try it. Have you found anything to replace it with?

Which color in the ordinary serum and which in the blush. Am searching online. Also the brush! Love it! ❤️ You are teaching me SO MUCH re clean beauty! I have always hated fragrances in my makeup. That's a good thing!!! 👍 Thank you, Michelle!!! Am just going to follow in your footsteps, too easy! You are my colors and skinny people! Where have you been all my life, girl!!!? 😘

Do you remember the Alexander De Markoff that was super expensive and was something like 90% pigment??

I don’t think you can call this clean make up and then throw in Neutrogena which is made by Johnson and Johnson which has no problem with putting formaldehyde in baby shampoo. Please make sure that you’re sharing nontoxic make up even for a special occasion.

It would be really great if you would include links to the drugstore products you mention as it's very difficult to see the full descriptions of them in the video itself, making it difficult to know what to search for on EWG. For example, I searched EWG for the Maybelline BB cream you mentioned and couldn't find one listed as a 2. One version was 3; another was 8; and yet another was a 4.

So grateful I found your channel!

Great video! What do you recommend for aging acne prone skin?

The Ordinary serum foundation appears similar to Beautycounter's Dew skin. Have you tried it? If so, your thoughts??

I was excited about the Maybelline BB cream but when I checked the ingredients on EWG, it came up as a 5 rating, which I don't consider clean. I will go up to 3 rating max on the EWG website. This is the issue as the clean products are rarely clean as well as effective. Btw, Neutrogena is rated 9. I do like your video. TY.

I’m getting it for $7! i hear the neutral is very warm. Did you do cool or neutral?

Great video! What color are you in Beautycounter? I am very fair and I have a hard time finding foundation that matches my skin. I'm cool and very pale. If I go too light, I look like a ghost. If I go to dark, you definitely can see the line of color change. Thanks for you help!

I would like to know more. Trying to find better skin care and makeup products. I currently use MK

I haven’t used foundation since I was a teen. I think back then I had breakouts which I thought was acne but now thinking back it was probably an allergic reaction. 🤦🏼‍♀️

They stopped selling the serum foundation from the ordinary.. Do you know if there is a dupe? :)

Those are American products, right? I’m from Australia, and I’ve used this “clean” foundation called “Raw” - looks totally amazing on my skin. I am ethnic background so my skin is slightly oily, but I also use this skin care called Rationale - essential 6. Again, absolutely amazing product. Pricy, but so worth it.

Is The Ordinary ok for dry skin or is it matt finish? Thanks so much!

Hi! ❤️ I read the full list of the ingredients of ordinary serum foundation.... It seems to be full of silicons.

Just love your channel. So happy I found you. Wanted to hear your thoughts on Beauty Héroe Subscription. Worth it?

Would you wear the embryolesse under these? Going to order the serum and try as well as the blush. Which brush did you use please? Gosh, so many questions!!! Thank you a hundred! 😴 Time for lights out! Gnight! 😘

How do I order I’m 67 and my skin is so dry especially around my lips I have fine lines and have pronounced lines around my jowls I don’t know if I’m saying that right .

Your hair is so prettuv

But The Ordinary Serum Foundation contains loads of dimethicone (silicone)! I thought you disliked dimethicone??

Hello I really enjoyed this video! I just had a question about what made you stop doing Botox? I just turned 41 and I practice nontoxic Living. Also I’m very tempted to start doing some Botox. I just don’t really know what to do for my skin and I need to do something fast. I would love to hear your thoughts on some suggestions also as to why you don’t like the Botox thank you so much

They discontinued The Ordinary Serum Foundation. Any updates?

Light-medium in the Maybelline BB cream is rated 8 on EWG.

I am a cancer patient about to be done with my chemo. I want to look pretty sometimes but I am wanting clean makeup. Could you point me in the right direction? I am not sure if there is clean beauty skin care?

What do you think of Kosas foundation and concealer?

A trace amount of asbestos is a no for me. I avoid talc at all costs.

Which BB Cream will you/did you switch to when those run out? 🤔

I think the ordinary serum foundation was discontinued……unfortunately.

Try juice beauty cc cream!

I looked up the maybelline bb cream and it says a 7 toxicity rating for the light-medium?

What color are you in the Beauty Counter Skin Twin?

You're sooo beautiful 😍

What color ordinary do you use?

Does clean equal Talc free?

What color do you use in The Ordinary?

Oh dear I don’t understand why brands still put talc in makeup, I’m sure there is a better alternative!

Please do a lipstick video your lips in your videos look very natural and pretty .

Can you name top foundations that you don’t need to mix with a BB cream

Did they discontinue the ordinary serum foundation? I’m having a hard time finding it even on their website

I was thinking NARS Light Reflecting Foundation was clean? Is it not?

Ingredients in the Ordinary look quite bad. Would love to see a review of 100% pure foundation, they seem to have the most natural ingredients, but not many youtube videos

I have a bottle of Neutragena Healthy Skin Nude 40 and it smells like chemicals. Definitely no fragrance in mine. Its a good foundation but I don't use it often because it smells toxic.

What colour did you take ?

The Milk Makeup on your link lists no ingredients. What are you calling clean?
