The only product I use is the Primer. I will tell you though, I was given a sample of the makeup and was not thrilled with it. The Primer beneath may make a difference. If you're looking for natural, try Origins Stay Tuned. I really prefer it to most any other I've tried. When foundation is thicker, it has a tendency to sink into pores and lines. Maybe using less would help. Sorry I couldn't be of more help>

I have found the makeup primer to be very beneficial and makes my skin feel very smooth

I find it's best if you use it on a clean face and then use your moisturizer, concealer and makeup over it. Let it dry first and that will take about 5 minutes. The moisturizer and makeup will not disturb it. Don't use a lot either. 1 pump should cover the jowl line, part of the neck and the outer eye area.

it basically let's your makeup do what it does with little need to touch up because of shine. i haven't noticed any drying or accentuating my smile line wrinkles. i have combo skin to and the most i have had to do was pat my face down once a day. hope this help!

I don't believe there is any SPF in the day cream. I use a foundation that has 20 SPF in it.

The way I recommend applying liquid foundation is to first dab some on your face and then going over it with your brush. Dab some foundation on your forehead, cheeks, chin and very small amounts on your nose and under your chin to blend the makeup with your neck. Then grab your brush and while pressing done firmly on the brush go in small circles to blend in the makeup until you barely notice it on your face. If you think that you need more coverage add small amounts at a time and not large so the makeup doesn't look cakey. To stripple the makeup on refers to the brush and how the hairs on it are formed to give you an airbrush finish with your makeup.

Personally, I think it depends on your skin type and level of damage. I have combination skin. I feel that my skin is hydrated and wrinkles have become faint. Keep in mind Im 28. Recently I washed my face and applied a dime size of the oil to my face, before going to a makeup artist to get my makeup done and select my new foundation. She commented that I should continue using my current moisturizer. She stated there was no need for primer. I told her what I used and she was shocked. They sell a moisturizer that is not even a 1/4 the size of this bottle for $50 that does similiar work. Lol I told her I would stick with mine. Choose for yourself. But I love it. I use it on my entire body and my hair. Personally, I think it depends on your skin type and level of damage. I have combination skin. I feel that my skin is hydrated and wrinkles have become faint.

I think this is the issue. I too am a bit older (49) and I wanted BE because of other women I saw who wore the product and looked amazing. This is what I have noticed. Those who look great are usually not fair and I would guess don't have dry skin. For me, I am fair and have very dry skin. I find I do not look good in just using the minerals. What has worked best for me is using Lancome underneath with the moisturizing mineral veil from BE as a powder. I think it really depends on your skin type and that no one product is good for everyone which is a bit sad as the women who look good with BE look amazing. To date, though the best product I have found for aging skin is in fact Lancome. I think this is the issue.

I don't believe there is any product that will eliminate wrinkles. This product has made my lines less noticeable. It is very creamy and goes on really nice. It makes your face feel refreshed. I have used it for several months and I am very pleased.

Absolutely. But the trick is youse the product sparingly and give it the seven minutes to settle and dry. Use water - not much- if you see white. It is worth the trial and error process to get it right! I love it. Also, the type of makeup matters! Don't use oil-based foundation. Good luck!

I suggest that you wear Cotz first (closest to your skin) and perhaps you can skip the primer and foundation. I have noticed that it makes a beautiful foundation and protects from sun exposure.

I only apply during the day (under my makeup b/c it helps my makeup go on smoother and "blurs" my wrinkles well). And an actual cream or moisturizer is better for night time. :)

USE WRINKLE SPRAY. Wrinkles come out in seconds just like they do on close. I used it and it left no marks but wrinkles went away IMMEDIATELY. Downy Wrinkle Releaser 33.8oz trigger spray

If you skin feels good and not tight or dry then use a light moisturizer. I think Neutrogena and Simple Skincare have good light moisturizers that are somewhat affordable.

Surprisingly, no. It did not settle in my fine lines and or wrinkles. I personally have not tried it yet over a cream foundation. I found the coverage to be so good there was no need for anything other than this.

Try applying it at night, especially at the wrinkle areas. Rub it in with a motion from the face to the side or back of head. Works wonders!

I just turned 59, and now use Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream as my Foundation. I have always used Maybelline Cover Stick in Medium Beige over Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15. The Clinique CC Cream gives me beautiful coverage. I LOVE it!!

Yes, I wear my liquid foundation on top, but I think after hours I feel dryness on my skin ! By the way I use moisturizer under the sunscreen first .
