Maybe you don't even need foundation

Mixing an illuminizer and a skin moisturizer is a great way to get a glowing complexion without all the precison of color matching. Perhaps your skin is pretty good and you don't want to worry about your neck and face matching blah, blah, blah. 

You may want to try blending in a bit of luminizer in your moisturizer. This look helps to give you a natural dewy base and can with tinted moisturizers act a sheer cover for any slight imperfections you may want to conceal. 

 Just be sure to go a little lighter in the T-zone area when applying; oil production is heaviest there and highlighter can make your forehead, nose, and chin look shiny instead of glowy.

“As we progress into our forties, fifties, and beyond, our skin cells turn over less frequently, causing a duller appearance,” says Longwill. That’s where pumpkin can help. It contains an enzyme that gently peels away dead skin, speeding the production of new cells. In addition, pumpkin is rich in essential fatty acids, which hydrate the skin, and the antioxidant vitamins A and C, which fight free radicals that can age skin. Look for pumpkin products in facial and body peels and in treatments for the hair and scalp.
