Just some backround info- so my skin just recently changed from oily, large pores, acne prone. it's changed to combo with extremely dry patches. it might be the cold weather or age. I started using Josie Maran argan oil light on my face twice a day. it's changed amazingly. smaller pores, regulated oil production, no more dry patches, decrease in black heads and zits.

so I've noticed since my skin isn't oily anymore matte foundation looks awful. settles into lines and pores. I recently changed to a luminous foundation and the difference is very noticeable difference. my skin looks younger. have you noticed that you've had to change foundation formulas/finish as you age?

Wow that is a huge change! I was always worried about looking too shiny with luminous but this makes me want to try it!

Hi Kim, wow you have always been gorgeous, but that luminous makes you look stunning!! I have been using Josie Maran products for almost a year now and can tell a huge difference as well.

A marked difference and wow, what a lovely finish. You look fresh faced and ever so pretty. Facial oils are indeed a game changer. It is fantastic that you adjusted your products to your needs rather than habits. The results are indeed beautiful.

Looks great, Kim! I've definitely changed my skincare so much now that I'm in my 30s. I used to never even use moisturizer up until a few years ago and now use the most heavy duty ones I can find. A matte finish can look very aging. What foundation are you using? I've been having trouble finding one I like. Yours looks great! I haven't been using the Josie Maran Argan Oil sample I got at Sephora but motivated to give if another shot now too. Your skin looks awesome!
