The Very Best Drugstore Makeup for Mature Skin, Starting at $5

Best Foundation

e.l.f. Soft Glam Satin Foundation ($8)

This is the Goldilocks of foundation. It's breathable and lightweight with a satin finish, and has an impressive 36 shades (across three different undertones) providing a match for just about everyone. Not to mention the medium coverage formula is made with hibiscus and fruit extracts, so it won't sit heavy on skin, clog pores or settle into wrinkles.

Best Concealer

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer ($11)

Best Baked Blush

Milani Baked Blush ($9)

If you prefer a powder blush over creamier formulas, we recommend a baked blush, like this one from Milani. “As we get older, our skin craves hydration. Baked formulas are perfect because they offer that moisture-rich feel without being heavy,” says Laura Geller, founder of Laura Geller Beauty. “They glide over the skin, helping to smooth and soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles, instead of calling attention to them.” Milani's Baked Blush in Dolce Pink (shown here) is a drugstore classic.

wet n wild MegaGlo Makeup Stick ($5)
