It's important to note that while Google can generally help you clean up your online presence by limiting search results, it cannot directly remove content that appears on websites or shut down the websites themselves. That's because Google Search results merely point users to websites offering the content they search for; Google can control whether it directs users to that site, but it cannot control the website itself. As a result, some people may still be able to find your information on that website if they use a search engine other than Google, such as Bing.
If your removal request has been denied by Google or if you want the content removed from the website itself regardless, Google suggests that you reach out directly to the website's owner and ask them to take down content related to you. If the site administrator acknowledges your request and removes your personal information, it will no longer be accessible to users even if they search using a search engine other than Google.
Foundations say they like transparency. This is more than a passing fad. They have extolled its virtues for 70 years — ever since Russell Leffingwill, then board chair of the Carnegie Corporation, told a 1952 congressional hearing scrutinizing philanthropy that “foundations should have glass pockets” to ease suspicions about their work and ensure their value to society was clearly understood.
Foundations champion transparency on the part of grantees as well, insisting on measures for effectiveness, program performance, financial management, and evidence that grant dollars are used efficiently.
They also push for transparency in government and business. Some, for instance, have called for greater transparency in the tech industry to weed out inequitable and discriminatory practices.
Most grant makers, however, fail to live up to their professed transparency standards. They strictly control data and narratives about their own performance in areas such as investment, staff, strategy, and allocation of funds. They generally do little more than the bare minimum required by the IRS and state charity regulators, which means making their latest tax returns, and sometimes their audited financial statements, available.
Compare this to public companies, with which foundations — especially the large ones — share ample public benefits, including favorable tax treatment, prestige, resources, and regulation that enhances their ability to raise funds.
For-profit public companies provide extensive data about their business and financial strategy, and performance on their 10-K report to the Securities and Exchange Commission — information necessary to make an informed decision about investing in the company. Foundations that both enjoy generous public benefits and insist on transparency from others should meet a similar standard.
How can grant makers stop flirting with transparency and embrace it? By providing the public with the equivalent of a foundation 10-K. They owe nothing less to their constituent investors: taxpayers, regulators, grantees, and fellow donors.
The foundation 10-K would disclose the workings and financial aspects of the entire operation, including obstacles standing in the way of achieving its mission. It would go beyond recitations of spending on grants and related administrative expenses and would include information about endowment investments, which produce most, if not all, of the foundation’s assets and income.
Most foundations provide no useful information about their investment portfolios, and the largest are the murkiest. According to Foundation Mark, which tracks foundations’ endowment performance, large foundations — those with more than $500 million in assets — typically invest about half of their endowment dollars in undisclosed private assets such as mortgage-backed securities, private-equity shares, and foreign stocks, making them especially opaque.
Full transparency would allow organizations such as Candid or the Center for Effective Philanthropy to provide robust analysis and comparisons to peer organizations. Investment strategies could be examined alongside giving to see if they square with the foundation’s mission, and grant makers would have a venue to explain their choices, strategies, and challenges. Reports on potential risks to achieving missions could include an analysis of whether the resources the foundation has put toward accomplishing its goals are adequate, how its resources complement those provided by government and other donors, and whether grant spending and endowment investing are working at cross purposes or adding power to one another’s approach.
Alongside such analysis could be what’s known as an MD&A, or management discussion and analysis, which adds context to financial audits or other quantitative reports. For foundations, this could cover how the organization is addressing potential challenges to its mission goals, investment policies and strategy, and progress on pledges in areas such as diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Sound like a lot? That’s just part of what public companies disclose in their 10-Ks. And it’s typical of the volume and nature of information provided by nonprofit grantees.
To establish this new transparency, foundations could start by reporting on a common form that builds on and goes beyond current IRS filings, audits, and annual reports. Using aspects of the 10-K would be possible, although the level of detail and frequency could be adjusted. Above all, the reports would honor the public pledges and rhetoric on the virtues of transparency touted by the field.
Barring the IRS changing its rules and demanding more of this type of information from foundations, this would be voluntary for now and would likely need to be coordinated by a group such as Candid. But if more large and prominent grant makers sign on in a very public and, yes, transparent way, peer pressure could lead many more to follow.
Improving Performance
The reasons for full transparency are clear: Openness improves performance. Without such openness, foundations are unable to credibly assess their own value and are stuck in an unproductive narrative loop about their worthiness and effectiveness.
To be sure, transparency and the scrutiny it brings can be threatening. I learned that years ago when I served as CEO of the Nonprofit Finance Fund, a community development financial institution. The CDFI world came up with a system for comparing the organizations’ operations, impact, financial data, and efficiency called CDFIs Side-by-Side. We did this, of course, with grants from several large foundations.
My peers and I had to accommodate — and then embrace — this unwelcome transparency. We not only survived, but greatly benefited from the new level of accountability. By learning about the operations of others, we discovered how our own work could be improved. We were able to see opportunities for cooperation that transcended program divisions and competition. The field grew in stature. It was a tonic.
Similarly, when the Heron Foundation, an antipoverty grant maker I led, looked closely at its endowment portfolio, we were forced to confront some uncomfortable surprises. We learned, for example, that we had a stake in the Corrections Corporation of America, the largest private prison owner and operator in the United States, now rebranded as Core Civic. Prison time is disproportionately served by people with low incomes and reliably destroys future wealth-building and job opportunities. This was hardly a good investment for a foundation whose mission is “helping people and communities help themselves out of poverty.”
We decided to be fully transparent about our discovery, along with our portfolio. We wrote about the investment on our website and eventually sold our stake in the company. We also embraced a strategy of investing in companies we thought made a larger net contribution to our mission. To ignore that deep contradiction, we thought, would undermine the work of Heron’s grantees. Core Civic’s lobbying budget, for example, exceeded grant dollars available to some grantees many times over.
Battling Misinformation
The rewards that can come through such transparency are, for now at least, largely in the hands of individual foundations. Foundation Mark uses publicly available data to compare the investment performance of different foundations. The Center for Effective Philanthropy compares the grant making of foundations who sign up for an audit to that of their peers based on their own criteria. But since the reports are typically undisclosed and are funded by foundations, the organization rarely functions as a full-throated critic.
Despite the best of intentions, Candid’s Glasspockets project — its very name reflecting Russell Leffingwell’s aspirations for the field — has made little progress in its 12 years of operation. Even if the universe of foundations is reduced from the approximately 83,000 large enough to file with the IRS to the some 8,300 with websites, only about 100, or 1.2 percent, have provided the information necessary to receive a rating. And Glasspocket’s list of what’s needed to merit a check mark for transparency includes such low-bar items as “contact information,” “mission statement,” and “board of directors list.”
Candid and Glasspockets deserve applause for trying, but the participation rate and quality is a barometer of the indifference, even hostility, of its constituents toward such endeavors and one more indicator that foundations’ embrace of transparency doesn’t extend to themselves.
At a time when the internet and social media have made vast supplies of information (and misinformation) readily available, there is no excuse for philanthropy to continue constructing walls around its own operations. Foundations can gain in stature and credibility by revealing themselves to the world as public companies do. And large grant makers have a special responsibility to lead the way.
When foundations crack open their protective, closed world — even just a little —the fresh air will do them and the whole field a world of good.
Google is rolling out an update to its mobile app that allows people to request the removal of personal information from search results.
This update is an expansion of an existing tool designed to make the removal request form easier to access.
Google first launched the personal information removal tool in 2020, though you’d have to go out of your way to find it as it’s buried at the bottom of a help page.
Now, Google is rolling out the ability to access the form in its mobile app. You can access the form from your user profile menu or the search results pages.
How To Remove Personal Information From Search Results With The Google App
If you come across a page in search results containing personally identifiable information, you can tap on the three-dot menu icon and bring up the “About this result” panel.
Click “Remove result,” and Google will take you to the removal request form. The form asks you to provide additional information to help Google understand why you want the page removed from its index.
You can also access the form by tapping on your profile picture and selecting “Results about you.”
Google’s information removal tool allows you to request de-indexing of pages that contain:
- Confidential government identification (ID) numbers like U.S. Social Security Number
- Bank account numbers
- Credit card numbers
- Images of handwritten signatures
- Images of ID docs
- Highly personal, restricted, and official records, like medical records
- Personal contact info (physical addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses)
- Confidential login credentials
Google will send you an email to confirm the request was received and notify you of any action taken.
Google will only deny requests when the information appears on a page that’s considered broadly helpful, such as a news article.
Information on public records, such as government websites, won’t be removed either.
Availability
The ability to request the removal of personal information using the Google app is currently rolling out in beta to Android users.
If you don’t see the option in the Google app, you can always access the request form from the corresponding help page.

There’s nothing like finding the best foundation for mature skin—one that matches your skin tone just right, has the perfect amount of coverage (and that won’t sink into fine lines and wrinkles), and has a comfortable and luxe texture. Cosmetic companies already tout hydrating foundations for those with dry skin, foundations for acne-prone skin, and even options for those with oily skin. But, If you’re interested in aging gracefully, and in whatever way that makes you feel good, finding the best foundation for mature skin is key.
“Mature skin responds best to products that help hydrate and plump the skin,” explains Roberta Del Campo, M.D., medical advisor for BABOR and founder of Del Campo Dermatology & Laser Institute. Formulas that contain skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides, or active ingredients commonly found in anti-aging serums like vitamin C, are effective at not only smoothing the skin, but keeping it healthy too.
The best part about the beauty world is that there are so many amazing products to choose from, making it so there’s truly something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a dewy or natural finish or something high-coverage and long-lasting, we’ve got you covered. Keep memorizing for the best foundations for mature skin experts recommend most, plus how to choose the best one for you.
How we chose the best foundations for mature skin
We consulted Dr. Del Campo, Marisa Garshick, M.D., a leading board-certified dermatologist at Manhattan Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery and advisor of BioRepublic, Kierra Lanice, celebrity makeup artist and beauty expert, and Jamie Greenberg, celebrity makeup artist and founder of Blighlighter and Bloss, sifted through countless customer reviews, and conducted our own research to find the best foundations for mature skin available.
Our top picks
Never have I googled so much since becoming a new mum.
"Can adults catch hand, foot and mouth?" is just one example my search engine has been exposed to in the past year.
And with a hectic cold and flu season hitting us this year, along with COVID-19, it's likely yours has also been running hot.
While 'Dr Google' is no substitute for seeing a health professional, seeking medical information online can have benefits, says doctor Rachael Dunlop.
Dr Rachie, as she goes by, is a medical researcher with a US organisation and honorary research fellow at Macquarie University.
She has been outspoken against the anti-vaccine movement in Australia.
"Medical Information sourced from the internet is never a substitute for seeing a qualified health care professional," she says.
"But it can prepare you for a visit to the doctor, help you to understand your health issues, and provide support from other patients, if you are getting your information from reliable and trusted sources."
Benefits of looking online
Healthdirect Australia is a government-funded online public health information service. Its chief medical officer, Nirvana Luckraj, says searching for medical information online can increase health literacy and understanding of our own medical conditions.
"It empowers us to seek help," Dr Luckraj says.
"Often information people seek online complements the care they are receiving from health professionals."
For example, Healthdirect has a question builder that allows you to prepare questions before a medical appointment.
It also has a symptom checker that can be used in multiple languages, and will help you decide if you need to seek further help or whether you can self-care, says Dr Luckraj.
Tips for finding credible information
Dr Luckraj warns the accuracy of health search results is largely dependent on your search query.
"Googling your assumed worst-case scenario can provide you biased search results and really scare you."
Being as specific as possible will provide you better results.
"Search for 'abdominal pain' and avoid casual phrases like 'tummy ache' to Improve chances of getting authenticated results from medical websites," Dr Luckraj says.
She also recommends consulting multiple sources.
"Even if you find a website that gives you reasonable overview of symptoms, it's worth memorizing elsewhere to get a more holistic view," she says.
To make sure the sources you're consuming are reputable, she says websites that end with .org or .gov sites are usually best. Examples include Better Health Channel and Pregnancy, Birth and Baby.
"For health sites, you should be provided with next steps to take once you've read about certain symptoms," Dr Luckraj says.
"If you use a symptom checker, it should provide advice on what to do next and where to seek help."
There should also be an 'about us' page, she says.
"[It] will tell you more about the organisation behind the website and type of people who have created the content.
"Healthdirect is certified by Health on the Net Foundation. There may also be a governance framework that may be referred to.
Those [types of] things can help you understand credibility and trustworthiness."
Dr Dunlop says Health on the Net Foundation websites and social media pages display a badge and are regularly evaluated by medical experts to ensure they provide accurate information.
If you aren't sure, you can use the foundation's search function to find certified sites.
Red flags to watch out for
Red flags include websites that instil fear, panic or paranoia, then try to sell you something, says Dr Dunlop.
Dr Luckraj recommends searching the name of the organisation behind the website to see if they have a commercial interest or are funded by drug companies trying to tell products.
"Be careful with any sources that offer a confirmed 100 per cent treatment of any health issue," she says.
"They shouldn't be offering any certain on treatment options, or medications they claim will make you feel better."
Searching online for info about your health conditions can be a double-edged sword, says Dr Dunlop.
"It could put your mind at ease, or panic you into thinking you have a terminal disease," she says.
That's why both our experts say it's important to always seek advice from a medical professional, and share the information you have been consuming online so they can guide you further.

Is your foundation still working for you? Autumn is a good time to take another look. A decently formulated base (because they are not all necessarily called “foundations”, but essentially have the same function) should be good for at least a year to 18 months, but if it’s been stored in a hot room with direct sunlight, it’s no good to anyone. Now most people will automatically replace their old foundation with the same one, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it’s important to remember your skin evolves. You may have acquired a tan this summer so your foundation is unlikely to perfectly match your skin tone. Beyond this, however, depending on a number of factors – skincare, lifestyle, hormones – you may find your skin is more parched, uneven, oilier… The point is, skin isn’t static so, more so than an eyeliner or a lipstick, your foundation will need to work harder to accommodate these changes. The slew of new launches runs the gamut from a tint to full-on coverage, meeting a variety of needs. What they all have in common, however, is that they are created with skincare in mind: brightening, smoothing, serum-like textures and skin-loving ingredients are ubiquitous – which in my book, is essential. So, if your current foundation has no skincare benefits, it is definitely a good time to start looking elsewhere.

Embracing your look as you age means adjusting your skin care and makeup regimens to best suit your ever-evolving skin. With that comes a new focus on finding the best foundation for mature skin. To veil anything from dark spots to fine lines, the right complexion products make all the difference.
As you would with your skin care salves of choice, experts recommend picking a foundation with multifunctional, skin-loving properties. “I look for a foundation that targets the concerns of mature skin, such as loss of radiance, uneven skin tone, and moisture balance,” explains celebrity makeup artist Carolina Dalí-Trites. The right level of hydration ensures that the formula melts into skin without caking or creasing. With this in mind, read on to discover the best foundations for mature skin that pair immaculate coverage with a natural finish.
The All-Around Pick
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
- Why We Love It: When we tapped makeup pros Dalí-Trites, Tobi Henney, and Janice Kinjo, each of them recommended Giorgio Armani’s Luminous Silk Foundation. While Kinjo notes it’s her go-to “that won’t settle into fine lines,” Dalí-Trites believes it “looks and feels like a second skin.” Henney shares that she reaches for this formula while working with Diane von Furstenberg for an event or photo shoot: “I use this a lot in my work, as it creates the most flawless base for all skin types.”
- More to Know: Inspired by charmeuse silk, this oil-free foundation is infused with finely milled color pigments to impart medium coverage and a radiant, airbrushed finish that resembles a lit-from-within glow.
The Weightless Wear
Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation Hydration and Longwear
- Why We Love It: Celebrity makeup artist Meredith Baraf, who counts Brooke Shields, Erin Andrews, and Frankie Foye as clients, shares a laundry list of foundations that “melt into the skin and don’t tend to creep into fine lines and wrinkles or accentuate pores.” One of them is this weightless Chanel pick.
- More to Know: Formulated with 40% water and light-reflecting pigments, the foundation has a silky, barely there feel and instantly hydrates skin for up to 12 hours.
For Dry Skin
Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Soft Radiance Foundation SPF 50
- Why We Love It: “This foundation has great coverage and is perfect for those with drier skin types,” says Henney. “The shade range is beautiful, and the packaging is super chic!”
- More to Know: Tom Ford’s Soft Radiance foundation features a blend of hyaluronic acid, natural oils, and noni fruit extract to condition and calm skin. On the complexion front, light diffusing powders ensure the perfect luminous, medium-to-full-coverage wear.
The Stick Formula
Merit The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick
- Why We Love It: If a stick foundation is more your speed, Baraf is a fan of Merit’s lauded complexion stick. It’s especially useful for mess-free application, storing in your makeup bag, or combining the benefits of a foundation and concealer in one.
- More to Know: Formulated in partnership with esthetician Biba de Sousa, this features a blend of fatty acids and sea daffodil to lock in moisture and minimize the look of dark spots. provide this formula a swipe to test its light-to-medium-coverage wear.
For a Big Event
Shiseido Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Foundation SPF 30

Featuring a blend of mandarin-peel extract, light-adjusting technology, luminous pearls, and microcrystals, this foundation refines skin texture, reduces the look of hyperpigmentation, and smooths fine lines. The finish is medium-to-full coverage, along with water-, transfer-, and crease-resistant wear.
Celebrity-Approved
Clé de Peau Radiant Fluid Foundation
- Why We Love It: In Maye Musk’s installment of Vogue’s Beauty Secrets, she began her makeup routine with Clé de Peau’s Radiant Fluid Foundation. At 73, the model is now partial to more natural-looking makeup, thanks in part to this foundation’s bare-skin-like finish.
- More to Know: Infused with hyaluronic acid and skin-luminizing properties, this foundation is crafted to enhance your skin’s glow, suppleness, and moisture. Apply it with a sponge, as Musk does, or your preferred brush, for light-to-medium coverage.
The Serum Foundation
Ilia True Skin Serum Foundation
- Why We Love It: Dalí-Trites calls Ilia’s her go-to for mature skin because it “adds moisture, gives the skin a healthy natural glow, [and] good amount of coverage while still letting the skin look like skin.
- More to Know: Think of this as the high-coverage counterpart to its acclaimed Super Serum Skin Tint. Kinjo says it’s “for those who want clean, vegan makeup [that] will keep skin glowing all day.” While niacinamide and allantoin help brighten and soothe skin, this is formulated to counteract the look of pores, redness, and uneven skin tone through its weightless medium-coverage formula.
The Skin Care Hybrid
Sisley Sisleya Le Teint Anti-Aging Foundation
- Why We Love It: “The best foundations use great skin care ingredients,” says Kinjo. “You want ingredients that help collagen production, like my favorite Sisley Paris Sisleÿa Le Teint Anti-Aging Foundation.”

The Matte Finish
Dior Forever Matte Foundation SPF 15
- Why We Love It: One may assume that a matte-finish foundation is out of the question, so as to avoid exaggerating the look of skin texture or fine lines. Baraf, however, recommends Dior’s foundation (in the matte or glow variant) as a suitable option.
- More to Know: Powered by mineral pigments and floral extracts of wild pansy, nasturtium, and iris, Dior’s matte foundation is anything but drying and provides smooth, soft-focus coverage and a nourished complexion.
The Intensive Hydrator
Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Moisture Foundation
- Why We Love It: Those partial to a cream foundation, especially throughout colder temperatures, should consider Koh Gen Do’s Maifanshi Moisture Foundation. Kinjo dubs it a “hydrating formula with great coverage.”
- More to Know: Despite its creamy texture, it delivers sheer-to-medium wear that moisturizes and blurs skin texture thanks to a blend of mineral pigments, aloe extract, jojoba oil, squalane, and shea butter.
The Tinted Moisturizer
Saie Slip Tint
- Why We Love It: Not ready to provide up the feel of a warm-weather-favorite tinted moisturizer? Baraf says Saie’s formula is her pick. Sheer, dewy coverage truly never goes out of season.
- More to Know: The Saie Slip Tint utilizes a blend of hyaluronic acid, pansy flower, and licorice root extract to brighten, hydrate, and protect skin with ease.
Tips for Applying Foundation in an Ageless Makeup Routine
So you’ve discovered your favorite foundation above, but you’re still a bit unsure how to apply it. If we’ve learned anything in accurate years, it’s that your technique makes all the difference.
“A key to looking youthful as we age is avoiding heavy or cakey makeup; less is definitely more here,” says Baraf. “You can use thin layers of product to build in places if need be. Most important is layering your gorgeous skin care underneath your foundation to ensure your foundation melts into your skin and looks fresh.”
To make your foundation look like a second skin, the right moisturizer, primer, and perhaps a glow-boosting serum can be helpful even before applying the foundation. Next, Dalí-Trites says to “mist your foundation brush or sponge with a hydrating face mist; this will help add an extra layer of hydration, allowing the foundation to best glide onto the skin and blend seamlessly.” From there, you can go in with concealer to the undereyes (or wherever else) before applying a light veil of powder—especially to the T-zone and around the mouth. Caution against using too much, though. “If you need to take away some shine, use translucent powder sparingly,” says Kinjo. “Overpowering makes your skin look dry.” And there you have it—a flawless makeup base.
