Mature women rave about £15 foundation that's 'light' but gives 'flawless' skin

As women age, they may find their makeup not quite sitting how it used to - settling in fine lines or clinging to dry patches. But there's one foundation that's been hailed as 'excellent for older skin' and it's been reduced to under £15.

Usually £40, theReal Flawless Foundation from Laura Mercier is currently part of a limited-time QVC bundle, which saves shoppers 47% on a trio of makeup heroes. The Laura Mercier Real Flawless 3 Piece Collection is valued at £94.95 but has been slashed to £49.95, but there's a way to drop the price further.

First-time QVC shoppers can add the code FIVE4U at checkout for an additional £5 discount. This brings the price down to £44.95, with each item costing an average of£14.98 as part of the offer, which ends on August 2.

The Real Flawless Foundationis a lightweight, medium coverage base product designed to give a natural, second-skin finish while blurring pores and fine lines. While the collection has yet to accumulate customer reviews, the foundation has garnered enthusiastic feedback from shoppers at LookFantastic, especially those with mature skin, reportsOK!.

One five-star reviewer commented: "Really good light consistaency, excellent coverage for older skin without caking."

Another stated: "At last I've found the perfect foundation for me. It lasts for ages as I only need to apply one small pump. Colour match is excellent and needs no touch up during the day."

A third shopper wrote: "Love this foundation. It has good coverage and feels so light on the skin. I always get lots of compliments when I wear this as it makes my skin look flawless."

Meanwhile, another reviewer praised its natural finish, saying: "This is a beautiful foundation - it is so light and looks natural on my 50-year-old skin, like a better version of my skin."

It's worth noting that while the foundation is typically available in 31 shades, the QVC collection offers a selection of 10 shades, meaning some shoppers may find their precise match isn't currently included. One reviewer noted it was 'no good for my oily skin', suggesting that skin type may influence how well it lasts throughout the day.
