I’ve been using Charlotte Tilbury Invisible UV Flawless Primer SPF 50 for about a month. I love this primer because it is tinted and includes a SPF 50 sunscreen. Most of the time my skincare or foundation will include a sunscreen, but this ensures that I’m protected if they don’t.

e.l.f. Power Grip Primer

This gel-based, hydrating primer is an easy way to try a primer if you haven’t before. It’s super affordable for starters. It grips your makeup like a champ, which helps your foundation and concealer stay put all day long. It’s great for all skin types and has that slightly tacky finish that helps lock everything in. If you’re dealing with dryness or uneven skin texture, this gives just the right amount of moisture and hold without feeling heavy.

L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Blurring Primer

This one’s specifically made for mature skin, and I can tell! It has a serum-infused formula that smooths out pores, softens wrinkles, and blurs out imperfections beautifully. You can wear it alone or under foundation, and it’s perfect for days when you want to look polished without piling on makeup.

Laura Geller Spackle Hydrate Primer

Hydration, hydration, hydration! This one is a top pick for dry skin, and it’s loaded with hyaluronic acid to help plump and prep. I love this under a cream foundation, it gives a soft, dewy finish and helps everything blend smoothly. If your skin has been feeling a little thirsty, this one’s like a tall glass of water for your face.

Urban Decay All Nighter Longwear Primer

If you’re looking for something that locks in your makeup and won’t budge, this primer is your girl. It’s lightweight, oil-free, and works for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It gives a nice smoothing layer without clogging pores, and it’s great for long days (or nights!). Perfect for weddings, parties, or even sweaty summer days!

DHC Velvet Skin Coat

Who wouldn’t like a “velvet skin coat”, lol. It has a powder-gel texture that mattifies and blurs out fine lines and pores, and it’s great for oily skin. I love that it’s fragrance free, and that it uses organic olive oil for antioxidant protection. If you find that your face gets shiny at the end of the day, this could be your fix!

NYX Pore Filler Blurring Primer

Gurls, this is one of those pore-minimizing primers that’s budget-friendly and gets the job done. It fills in those pesky spots and preps your skin for even makeup application. It’s vegan, lightweight, and a little goes a long way. And of course, it’s cruelty-free. Win/Win!

TULA Face Filter Blurring & Moisturizing Primer

Here’s a hydrating primer with skincare benefits, which we LOVE. It helps even out skin tone, reduces redness, and provides a natural luminous finish. You can wear it with or without makeup, and it’s great for sensitive skin. It feels like a skincare step and a makeup product rolled into one!

Lancôme La Base Pro Primer

This is makeup artist’s fave is like a real-life filter. It smooths, mattifies, and leaves your skin feeling satiny-soft. It’s perfect if you want your makeup to look fresh all day long. Lancome is a bit more expensive than a product from e.l.f., but it’s a trusted brand that knows a thing or two about skincare. Oil-free and good for all skin types.

IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Primer

Y’all know I love my IT Cosmetics! This oil-free formula is loaded with glycerin, bark extract, and other skin-loving ingredients. It helps refine the look of pores over time, and it’s super hydrating without being greasy. Perfect for wearing alone or under CC cream. Great for combination skin, and ideal if you want that soft glow without shine.

Alright, Gurls, those are my top picks for the Best Makeup Primers for Mature Skin! Whether you’re smoothing out fine lines, minimizing pores, or adding a bit of hydration under your foundation, these formulas will help your makeup go on smoother and stay put longer. Try one, mix and match depending on your skin type, and let me know which one gives you that flawless finish. Because let’s be real, good makeup starts with a great base!
