Cream-based Foundation: Best for Older Skin

By , About.com Guide

If you have fine lines and wrinkles, opt for a cream-based foundation rather than a powder. Moisture-rich foundations are creamier and will "plump up" skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines. While powder tends to settle into lines, moisturizing foundations hydrate them.

According to Bobbi Brown, in the May 2007 issue of InStyle Magazine, look for ingredients like sodium hyaluronate and petrolatum in your foundations. These ingredients add creaminess to foundations.
