Back in 2013, 65 year old makeup enthusiast and Look Fabulous Forever founder Tricia Cusden was struggling to find beauty products which worked for her mature skin. She felt ignored by beauty retailers, and endeavoured to launch her own makeup and skincare range which understood the needs of older women and celebrated the beauty of the ageing process.
Thus the Look Fabulous Forever brand was born, and with it, the secret to the mature woman’s perfect complexion. On this page we’ll talk you through all of our face makeup products: explaining why they work, how best to use them, which products to pair them with, and what our fabulous customers think of them. Simply scroll down for your complete guide.
A Message From Tricia
“Foundations are, I think, a godsend for older faces. But they’re the one product that most older women feel quite scared of. We want to cover signs of ageing like dark spots, rosacea and thread veins, but anything too heavy will sit in our fine lines and wrinkles.
That’s why I created our range of face makeup products to do all of the things you want them to do - cover, smooth, unify - without looking dense and ‘caked-on’. Our foundation, beauty balm and concealer are the key to a polished complexion and staying fabulous at 60 and beyond.”

How It Works
Continuous Cover Foundation
Continuous Cover Foundation is our universal base product. Its lightweight formula glides over the skin to diffuse the look of pores and fine lines, and to create a healthy, smooth complexion. Coconut oil and vitamin E also work to hydrate the skin, giving you a soft glow and a look of vitality.
"If you have fine lines or wrinkles, what you don’t want is your foundation sitting in those wrinkles. You want something that’s light enough to evenly cover your skin, without gathering in those lines. Ta-da! Enter the most wonderful product: our Continuous Cover Foundation"
- Tricia Cusden, Founder
Light Look Beauty Balm
Light Look Beauty Balm is our answer to tinted moisturiser. More than a serum and less than a foundation, the Beauty Balm will glide over your skin with a subtle wash of colour to even skin tone and lift the face. It’s enriched with argan oil which will keep you feeling moisturised and looking rejuvenated all day long!
“Our best selling Light Look Beauty Balm is lightweight and easy to use, it really is the perfect everyday product for a natural-looking and even skin tone. A must have for these warmer Spring-Summer days”
- Tricia Cusden, Founder
Cover to Cover Concealer
Cover to Cover Concealer is our little helping hand. The rich formula is designed to give extra coverage and mask any stubborn dark spots, thread veins or blemishes. Tea tree oil reduces redness, revives the under eye area, and gives the impression of awakeness. Gently applied under the eyes and patted in with fingers, our concealer can fake a good night’s sleep.
Coupled with our Continuous Cover Foundation, Cover to Cover Concealer can give you a ‘Full Glam’ look which is ready for any event. On its own, it can be applied to problem areas to colour correct, tidy the skin, and give you a boost without the need for a full face of makeup.
