Natural Makeup Coverage with an Anti-Aging Boost

As we get older, we have to contend with skin issues such as sun spots, hyperpigmentation, dark under-eye circles and fine lines. Potent anti-aging serums and creams will reap their benefits on our troubled skin with dedicated use, but skin care does take time to achieve maximum results. So when we need a little extra coverage, makeup is a quick and easy solution. The problem is that mature women often think they need to apply more makeup for complete coverage, but this can be the wrong approach. Thick foundation can settle into wrinkles, folds and large pores, and heavy concealer can have the opposite effect of drawing attention to crepey skin and fine lines. So what's a girl to do? The goal is to find coverage that is sufficient enough to camouflage the appearance of flaws while still being light enough to impart a natural, dewy, youthful-looking finish. We've rounded up some our favorite natural makeup coverage products that not only achieve that goal, but take it a step further with nourishing, anti-aging ingredients that help improve your skin on the inside while perfecting it on the outside.

suki tinted active moisturizer ($50.95 in the shop). Marta calls suki tinted active moisturizer "makeup for people who don't like makeup."

Its skin-nourishing ingredients include antioxidant grape seed, borage oil, willow bark and hazelnut oil. Read the full review.

Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Repair CC Cream ($39). This organic CC or "color correction" cream might sound more like a heavy-hitting serum than makeup, thanks to an ingredients list that includes Juice Beauty’s proprietary blend of fruit stem cells, caprylic/capric triglycerides, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C (in MAP form) and vitamin E. It increases cellular turnover, improves elasticity and minimizes lines and wrinkles while it evens out skin tone and provides coverage. And if all that were not enough, it also provides high mineral based broad spectrum protection of SPF 30 from zinc oxide. Read the full review.

It minimizes the appearance of pores and helps control excessive shine, leaving skin smooth and soft. Read the full review.
