This post has been updated. Former reporting by Kaitlyn Ingram and Lauren Black.
Oscar-winner, Michelle Yeoh just opened up to BBC Radio about her struggles with infertility amid her decades-long career. Fertility and motherhood are obviously complex, emotional topics — we've seen plenty of discourse play out in this space the last few months alone — so when Michelle described her inability to conceive as "a failure," our collective hearts broke for her.
Here's what the Wicked star had to say about why she felt like "a failure" — and the unexpected relationship that "blessed" her.
On BBC Radio's Woman's Hourpodcast, Michelle shared her story of infertility — both how it hurt her, but also how she was able to come to terms with it over time. In discussing what she calls a "shattered mirror moment," Michelle explained that her lack of children wasn't for "lack of trying." She said that she loves children, babies, and even has six godchildren, but she simply wasn't able to bear a biological child.
"I believe that it's a woman's choice — it's your choice whether you want to have children, and shouldn't be imposed on you. Just because you're a woman, you should have a child — that should not be the case," she said. "But as a very personal thing, I wanted — I always wanted to have children."
She elaborated that in her first marriage with Sir Dickson Poon, it was a "very clear path about having children." When she couldn't conceive, she went to get fertility treatment "to aid in the process" — and she made it clear that the process was a very painful one for her. When describing her attempts at conception, she said, "And I think the worst moment to go through is every month you feel like such a failure."
"And then you go, why? And I think at some point you stop blaming yourself. I go, there are certain things in your body that doesn't function in a certain way. That's how it is," she continued. "You just have to let go and move on. And I think you come to a point where you have to stop blaming you."
While she may have practically moved on from her dream of carrying biological children — of that, she said, "I'm 62. Of course I'm not going to have a baby right now," — Michelle can't seem to help thinking of it still. She said, "Sometimes, honestly, I still think about it."
Getting to this place of peace and understanding for her fertility scenario came with a series of heartbreaks, though, as Michelle explained this likely ended her first marriage. Although she believed they loved each other, she knew in the next decade of the relationship, she ultimately couldn't give her ex-husband the family that he wanted. Now, she feels like it was "very brave" for the former couple "to admit" that they shouldn't "drag this out."
Thankfully, the end of her marriage didn't mar the love shared there — Michelle said she's actually godmother to Sir Dickson Poon's eldest child. And she even got remarried! Though her new husband, Jean Todt, proposed the very first month they were together, Michelle waited to marry until about 20 years later.
As mentioned before, Michelle is surrounded by plenty of beautiful children in her life — one of which is her granddaughter via her stepson, Nicholas Todt. In regards to that, Michelle noted, "Then you feel you're still very, very blessed because you do have a baby in your life.”
And as for having a little one in her life outside of children? Let's just say she has a golden boy of her own — and yes, I'm referring to the Oscar she won in 2023 for Everything Everywhere All at Once. Needless to say, Michelle is definitely not a failure. 🙌

Signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles are inevitable as we, well, age. But age does not dictate whether or not you can rock a stunning makeup look! When it comes to applying foundation to mature skin, you can still achieve a smooth, glowy base.
The best practice for finding foundations for mature skin is avoiding thick, high-coverage foundations – they can look cakey and sink into those pesky fine lines, accentuating them even more. Instead, opt for thinner, more buildable foundations. Bonus points for formulas with hydrating and anti-aging ingredients like hyaluronic acid and SPF!
If you’re getting glam on a budget, I’ve tracked down the 8 best drugstore foundations for mature skin. The best part is they’re all relatively affordable, but oh-so effective in providing coverage so you can step out with confidence.
The best drugstore foundations for mature skin in 2024:
- Best hyaluronic acid formula: CoverGirl & Olay Simply Ageless 3-in-1 Liquid Foundation
- Best SPF formula: L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation
- Best antioxidant formula: Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Foundation
- Best on-the-go formula:Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Foundation
- Best long-wear formula: Revlon 3X Age Defying Foundation
- Best dewy formula: Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Liquid Foundation
- Best buildable formula: Covergirl Advanced Radiance Age Defying Foundation
- Best subtle splurge: IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream
Scroll on for the best drugstore foundations for mature skin, starting at just $9!
Amazon
Best hyaluronic acid formula: CoverGirl & Olay Simply Ageless 3-in-1 Liquid Foundation
Pros: Infused with Olay skincare like niacinamide, a hyaluronic complex, and vitamin C, good coverage, smooth application
Cons: Customers have noted that the shades can run darker than what's noted on the packaging
Promising review: "This product is amazing. It truly provides full coverage. It makes my skin look flawless. No cakeiness and foundation seems creamy and good quality. Not super lightweight but that's ok with me."
Amazon
Best SPF formula: L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation
Pros: Higher sun protection than other options at SPF 50, includes vitamin B3 and a hydrating serum to better complexion
Cons: Some users noted the formula can feel oily
Promising review: "I found my holy grail. Years and years, probably hundreds of dollars later, my Goldilocks foundation is cheap, available and even includes a high SPF. Why I waited so long on this L’Oréal winner, I don’t know. My mature dry skin loves this one. Never settles in lines or texture and lasts all day. Medium coverage and so easy to apply with brush, fingers or sponge. Very natural finish but not dewy."
Amazon
Best antioxidant formula: Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Foundation
Pros: Includes vitamin E, feverfew (known for calming properties), and natural soy to enhance skin
Cons: Poor shade range, formula can be thicker than others but "dries right away and covers very well."
Promising review: "Finally found a foundation that looks natural with a good match to my skin. I read an article on a celebrity who uses it so I decided to give it a try. I dot it all over my face and use a makeup brush to stipple it first and then swirl. It’s buildable so you can start slow. I love how it looks on my mature skin. Doesn’t settle or look dry."
Amazon
Best on-the-go formula: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Foundation
Pros: Packaging makes it easy to travel with and apply, buildable coverage, blurring applicator
Cons: Some users noted the formula can feel oily, leading it to fade quickly
Promising review: "So easy to apply, can be blended with fingertips or makeup brush, really excellent coverage! No strange smells and doesn't irritate my skin (and I'm very sensitive, in the past had to use hypoallergenic brands). Have reordered and will not try any other brands going forward. It's funny because it's been 55 years since I used a Maybelline product, spent years paying for upscale brands, and now they've finally got it right!"
Amazon
Best long-wear formula: Revlon 3X Age Defying Foundation
Pros: Claims to work as a moisturizer, serum, and primer all in one, easily buildable
Cons: Sun protection is very low at SPF 20, poor shade range
Promising review: "I have dry mature skin. This is perfect for me. I like how it looks natural... I don’t use my moisturizer when I use it…it’s like using moisturizer. I cleanse, tone and then apply with a kabuki brush. A+"
Amazon
Best dewy formula: Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Liquid Foundation
Pros: Adds a luminous finish, oil-free formula
Cons: Sun protection is very low at SPF 18
Promising review: "An older friend with beautiful skin told me she used Maybelline Fit Me Dewy, so I tried it. It works better with my aging skin than many more expensive brands of foundation I’ve tried. Despite being light as a feather, it has fairly good coverage for blending out dark spots or splotches, [so] I sometimes use a concealer for under eye circles, too. There is a great range of colors, so it’s easier to get a good match."
Amazon
Best buildable formula: Covergirl Advanced Radiance Age Defying Foundation
Pros: Reduces fine lines and imperfections, cruelty-free formula
Cons: Some customers have noticed discrepancies between this product's shade names and the rest of Covergirl's foundations and that it can be cakey on the face, but only with a heavy hand
Promising review: "When I started to develop fine lines around my eyes I found the mineral powder foundation settled into them and made me look older. (I'm now mid 40s). This foundation provides a medium to full coverage (depending on amount used) which I like but still looks natural. It is very creamy, feels light, and does not settle into my fine lines. It doesn't feel like I'm wearing makeup."
Amazon
Best subtle splurge: IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream
Pros: Great coverage, multi-tasking product with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, vitamin E, and SPF
Cons: On the more expensive side (this travel-size version is $22)
Promising review: "I'm a 58 year old woman of Italian heritage. I definitely have that ever-so-slight olive tint to my skin. Despite the spotty reviews I decided to try it anyway... I LOVE this product and for me it lives up to all the hype."
