- Hello, I'm Amanda Ramsey.
Your over 40s makeup expert
and I'm back here with Adore Beauty to walk you
through the best moisturisers for over 40s that are fab
for layering under your foundation.
(calm music)
Couple of general pointers before we get
into the nitty gritty of my top picks.
When it comes to choosing a moisturiser
for you to layer underneath your makeup.
If you are wearing an oil based foundation
you wanna choose an oil based moisturiser.
They play nicely together.
If you're wearing a water based foundation,
you really do need a gel or water base moisturiser
because they plain nicely together.
The other tip is consistency.
So what you are looking for in a moisturiser
that's going to layer really beautifully
under your makeup is something that is really lightweight
and melts into your skin quite quickly
and leave skin feeling really smooth.
So something lightweight
and easily absorbed is gonna be great
for layering under your makeup.
Now let's get into my top picks
of the best moisturisers available at Adore Beauty
to use under makeup.
I bought really good all rounder moisturisers
for prepping your skin for makeup and foundation.
The Bobby Brown vitamin enriched face base,
and the Embryolisse Lait-Creme concentrate.
You will find both of these products
in most makeup artists kits.
The reason for this is they are fairly universally suitable
to everyone.
They leave the skin beautifully smooth
and primed for makeup.
Let me show you this cold classic first,
which is the Embryolisse Lait-Creme concentrate.
It's a really lovely, lightweight moisturiser,
absorbs really quickly into the skin.
This can be used as a primer,
it's a really multipurpose product
and you can also get one for sensitive skin,
and the difference between the two of them is,
the regular has fragrance,
the sensitive skin version has no fragrance.
Let me show you the Bobby Brown vitamin enriched face base.
It's slightly richer than the Embryolisse.
Doesn't leave any residue on the skin,
great for mature skin types.
Good all rounder, unless you have really oily skin.
Both the Embryolisse
and the Bobby Brown vitamin enriched face base
sit really lovely under foundation.
This gorgeous, ultra hydrating, ultra moisturising product
from Kora Organics has a targeted liposome that also helps
with hyper pigmentation.
So if you are super freckly and dry,
it's gonna be a great one to layer underneath your makeup.
Absorbs very quickly into the skin
and leaves your skin feeling smooth.
Fantastic moisturiser for those of you with super sensitive,
irritated and red skin is this one from La Roche-Posay.
It is a lightweight formula that helps to really calm,
soothe, and just not cause any more challenges
for what is already highly sensitised skin.
Universally suits all skin types,
but those of you with that really sensitised, flaky,
irritated skin, you're gonna love this.
It's really gonna help to calm some of that redness too.
And see how that absorbs so quickly into the skin.
That's what we are looking for.
It's so smooth and silky and calms that irritated skin.
A great moisturiser for under foundation,
for those of you with pigmentation
is the Antipodes Diem Vitamin C.
Vitamin C is a magnificent, powerful antioxidant,
that is great for combating that hyperpigmentation
or pigmentation.
This is what it looks like.
It's got this buttery, gorgeous, moussey,
silky, lightweight, absorbs really quickly into the skin,
great for those of you with pigmentation.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant
that is magnificent for mature skin.
Vitamin C packed in here, lightweight,
but super potent moisturiser
that sits beautifully under makeup.
Moisturiser with a broad spectrum SPF, it's hard to beat
Ultra Violette Queen Screen luminising sun serum,
broad spectrum, it's a more of a serum texture.
Let's hope this video takes some of that decision fatigue
and confusion out of the process for you
and empowers you to get on the right moisturiser
for your skin type to prep your skin for makeup.
