As we get older, not only do things like fine lines and wrinkles appear, but our skin texture can also start to change too, meaning products that once worked for you might start to be a little less effective. One thing that can make or break your makeup look is the right primer, and finding one that works on mature skin without settling into creases, dragging on thinner skin or pilling with your moisturiser can be surprisingly tricky.

However, beauty fans have stumbled across and affordable primer that not only ensures makeup goes on flawlessly, but actually works with mature skin, not against it. The Laura Geller Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer is currently on sale at Amazon for just 16.15 (down from 19) and acts as both a moisturiser and primer in one.

You can also pick it up directly from the Laura Geller website, which has the full range available including different tinted versions and an SPF option. It's priced at 35, but when you check out you'll save 50%, bringing it down to 17.50, plus 10% off with the code BLUSH10, bringing it down to 15.75.

The Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer is suitable for both dry and normal skin, with no synthetic fragrances or parabens to make it sensitive skin-friendly too. Its ingredients include hyaluronic acid, glycerin and a combination of antioxidant botanical ingredients which brighten and nourish your skin.

The formula is both lightweight and non-greasy, while still being grippy enough for makeup to cling to. It hydrates your skin to prepare it for makeup application, helping foundation go on smoother and last longer, but can also create a smoother looking complexion on its own for those no makeup days.

You just need to apply one to two pumps onto the back of your hand, then dab it across your face onto clean skin. Blend it in, then leave the Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer to soak in for a minute or two before applying your makeup to give it the best results.

Picking products that are specially formulated for mature skin will ensure you get the best results, and another one thats been well-lauded is No7s Pro Artist Base Perfecting Primer which is 19.95 at Boots. It has a silky, cushioning formula which blends in well whilst creating the illusion of fuller, brighter skin.

Cliniques 18 Even Better Light Reflecting Primer is also another good pick, helping extend makeup wear by up to 16 hours whilst boosting your skins radiance. It contains vitamin C and acetyl glucosamine, which improve skin tone and brightness, whilst hyaluronic acid plumps up the skin to make it look fuller and more youthful.

However the Laura Geller Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer has been a huge hit with beauty fans, especially those with self-proclaimed mature skin. One said: Good value at the moment. Goes on smoothly on mature skin (Im 66) and makes my makeup stay on longer. I discovered Laura Geller makeup last year and wouldnt use anything else now.

Whilst a second agreed: Absolutely love this product its lovely and smooth and unlike some it doesnt sit on the surface of your skin or take a lot of rubbing in and you only need a small amount so lasts well too this is my second purchase I was so impressed and great for mature skin.

One did mention, however: A bit disappointed with this product after reading such good reviews gone back to my revlon primer. Everyone is different and this does not suit my skin.

And some others complained that theirs arrived with a broken pump, which made it difficult to use.

However others loved the Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer, with one saying: I absolutely love this primer!!! I am 48 yrs old and Ive been struggling in finding a good primer that suits my mature skin. This is the holy grail!! My makeup look flawless and smooth and most importantly my face looks hydrated. The tube is a good size for the price I am definitely throwing out all the other brands. This is a keeper! Buy it, dont hesitate!!!
