The best of the best makeup products for my 40 year old normal/combo skin. These are the products that never fail me and I’ve repurchased multiple times or will when they run out.

My absolute favorite glow booster. Works great on its own, under foundation, mixed into foundation, and even as a highlighter.
GLOW LUST™ RADIANT LUMINIZER - Auric Cosmetics
Great alternative to the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter. This one is thinner and has more cool tones.
Soft Glam Filter Fluid – www.catricecosmetics.com
The OG! It will always be a favorite. Beautiful on its own and under foundation
Lumi Glotion Natural Glow Enhancer, Face and Body
Foundation
My #1 skin tint. I haven’t found anything as lightweight and natural looking on my skin while still giving a little coverage. You’re not going to get more than a high light coverage but it gives “my skin but better”
Future Skin Gel Foundation - Chantecaille
My favorite Dior foundation. Creamy and lightweight medium coverage. Very natural looking on the skin.
Dior Forever Skin Perfect Multi-Use Hydrating Foundation Stick
GORGEOUS affordable foundation. Medium coverage, lightweight, long wearing, and natural looking on the skin.
Soft Glam Foundation - Medium Coverage - e.l.f. Cosmetics
Very light weight and natural looking on the skin. More of a medium coverage, doubles as a concealer, and great for normal / dry skin.
The Minimalist - MERIT Beauty
Concealer
Hydrating but lightweight serum corrector / concealer
hideaway | clean undereye color corrector | caliray beauty
Hydrating, medium coverage concealer. It doesn’t wear the best for me on its own but it’s beautiful when set with powder.
Gucci Concentré de Beauté Multi-Use Crease Proof and ...
My favorite to mix in with other concealers for a little added coverage.
Vital Skincare Concealer in Atelier L1 by Westman Atelier
The most natural, lightweight, and hydrating concealer. It looks great no matter the condition of my under eyes.
Le Camouflage Stylo Eye Concealer - Chantecaille
If I could recommend only one concealer I think this would be it. I haven’t put it down since I got it. It’s not too heavy and cakey, doesn’t crease, looks and wears great with or without powder, hydrating but not too hydrating. I love my others but ...
Very pigmented but also blends like a dream. This one is a new favorite of mine.
Dior Forever Skin Contour and Bronzing Stick | DIOR US
I love shade fair for deepening up foundations that are a touch too light for me
SoftSculpt® Bronzing & Shaping Serum - Makeup by Mario
One of my most used bronzers. The formula is a so smooth and easy to apply but more than anything I love the shades. Beachwalk Betty is my favorite for my fair skin.
An absolute staple in my collection. This lives in my everyday makeup up drawer. The formula is incredible. Buildable and easy blend out. You can mix and match the shades to customize your perfect shade, sheer out the color, or give more glow.
DAYBREAK - Mirage Shift Crème Cheek Palette
The perfect finishing powder. Brings life and luminosity back to the skin while making your complexion look seamless and blurred.
Ambient™ Lighting Palette - Hourglass Cosmetics
Makeup / Setting Spray
Seals in your makeup for all day wear. A must have in the hot humid summers.
On 'Til Dawn Setting Spray | ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr
A must have for any makeup look for me. It hydrates my skin before applying makeup, meshes my powder together to give me a more natural look, and I use it to spray my brush when applying shimmers to my lid with a brush to eliminate fall out.
