I have some Ilia products -- some lip color and a creme blush stick. I like it a lot.

I have some, too, and generally like them. Lip stuff is great. The tinted super serum feels a little heavy and drying to me, and I don't have dry skin, but I am far from a makeup expert. The skin rewind stick is great.

I've been using the DRMTLGY tinted moisturizer and I feel a little shiny, but it isn't drying and doesn't settle into fine lines.

I've determined that the goldilocks solution is for someone to airbrush my face in realtime. Totally do-able.

Has anyone tried Typology?

Another Westman Atelier fan.

+1. This is all I use for makeup.

Second Jones Road

Jones Road is very very light coverage and IME does not last the whole day. It sounds like OP is looking for more or a foundation type product.

Try Jones Road. It's the company Bobbi Brown's company started after she left Bobbi Brown. It's clean make up as well.

Huda Beauty Easy Blur is really good. It is luminous but not overly glowy - some of the recommended “glowy” foundations end up being too slick and almost sweaty looking. Paired with a good concealer, it looks really nice. I have dry skin so am always happy when a foundation doesn’t flake and settle.

My skin has gotten dry with age so I have to really make sure my base of good skin care/hydration is on point so makeup like foundation sits well. I have been liking the Trish McAvoy liquid foundation and powder.

I like powder foundation since I’ve been older (now mid 40s). Makeup forever is good. I have some ilia stuff too but I can’t find a good match in their foundation or concealer. Love the balmy lip tint and multi stick.

The Ilia drops broke me out. I do like the foundation stick and the cream blush.

For mature skin, go for a glowy look not matte. Best thing to use would be a tinted moisturizer or a bb cream, also Bobbi brown cream concealer is beyond awesome.

I'm 43 with pretty good skin and no static lines. I have tried Laura Geller and I do like it. Very light coverage but evens everything out and gives a "filtered" look. It's probably not great for someone with lots of wrinkles though as I would imagine the powder would settle into fine lines.
The all time best higher coverage foundation is from Cle de Peau https://www.cledepeau-beaute.com/sg/A21302_sg.html?dwvar_A21302__sg_color=O20&cgid=products-makeup-face-foundations

It's obscenely expensive but a little goes a very long way. It is truly undetectable and makes your skin look perfect.

Dior

PP who likes Ilia here. The cream rouge did seem to dry out quickly for me.
