They say life after 40 is when the fun really begins. You know your worth, you've hit your stride, and you've learned what works best for you. But as you've grown more confident in your own skin, your makeup has started to shift, too. Collagen loss, years of sun exposure, and the natural evolution of skin mean your beauty needs are different now, and you might find that the foundations and concealers you used to rely on just don't serve you anymore. The fix? Reach for complexion products that feel more like skin care than cover-up.
We rounded up eight foolproof, lightweight options to drench your skin in hydration, smooth texture, and bring out your best features. Several are packed with natural ingredients you'll actually recognize. One delivers a caffeine kick strong enough to make your favorite barista jealous. And one is designed to block the UV rays standing between you, and your well-earned me-time.
So on your next trip to Sephora, walk in with the glow of someone who's used to knowing exactly what she wants — and getting it.
