Beauty products I actually reach for at 38 — especially for dryness, texture, tired-looking eyes, and makeup that looks better on skin over 35.

Under-Eye & Brightening Favorites
My favorite products for brightening tired-looking eyes, smoothing the under-eye area, and helping makeup look fresher and more awake.
Brightens tired-looking under-eyes without feeling heavy. I love this for making my eyes look more awake, especially on minimal-makeup days.
Luminous Eye Corrector SPF 41 - Fair – DRMTLGY
I love this when my under eyes are looking tired and dull. It’s hydrating, brightens everything up, and my makeup sits really nicely over it.
Banana Bright+ Eye Crème - Vitamin C Eye Cream
This is one of my favorite drugstore concealers when I want good coverage without my under eyes looking dry or heavy. It blends easily, feels comfortable, and gives me a smoother, more awake look.
Hydrating Camo Concealer | Full Coverage
I like this when my under eyes need a little extra help before concealer. It corrects that dark, tired look without feeling too heavy and helps everything on top look brighter and smoother.
Colored Clay CC Undereye Corrector — Waterproof Dark ...
Base Makeup That Still Looks Like Skin
I love this on days when I want my skin to look more even without putting on a full face of foundation. It’s lightweight, gives me that natural skin-like finish, and I like that I’m getting SPF 46 at the same time.
I like this when I want a little more coverage but still want my skin to look like skin. It gives me a smooth, natural finish with a really pretty glow and doesn’t feel heavy on my face.
Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation
I like this when I want my skin to look extra glowy and polished without looking flat or cakey. It gives me a luminous finish, feels comfortable on the skin, and makes my base look a little more put together.
Illusion Luminous Glow Foundation SPF 30
I like this when I want something really lightweight that still makes my skin look more even and fresh. It has that serum-like feel, gives me a natural glow, and doesn’t feel like I’m wearing a heavy foundation.
True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum Foundation
