items Not only did I have to change my skincare routine after turning 40, but my makeup wasn't cutting it either. Especially my mascara and foundation. I didn't even know there was a thing called primer, before I turned 30 (maybe it wasn't yet, but HUGE game changer!)

Eyes
For those of us with hooded eyes that want to draw attention to our eyes without looking like a racoon or a clown.
One of the better lengthening and volumizing mascaras I have used. However, I do have hooded eyes and ended up with some smudging at the end of the day which I didn't love.
Colossal Bubble Washable Volumizing Mascara
Lashes come to LIFE! I have the lightest lashes, they are almost invisible without mascara. This is the FIRST mascara I have found that not only lengthens and volumizes my lashes but it dries quickly so no smudging which is so hard to find since I have hooded lashes. Pair this with the primer for a chef's kiss look all day!
4D Silk Fiber Lash Mascara - Longer, Voluminous
USE this BEFORE your mascara to keep it lasting all day for beautiful lashes that never need to be touched up.
Lash Princess Mascara Primer Extra Length & Volume
Did you know when your skin gets older that regular eyeshadow powders don't stay put like they used to? That's because we're all dried out lol! I discovered these eyeshadow sticks that start out as creams and dry as a powder. They are perfect for my aging skin.
Eyeshadow 101 Crème-to-Powder Eyeshadow Stick Duo - Julep
Lips
My favorite products for my barely there top lip and tiny pout.
Chapped lips come with the territory in winter. My daughter has the worst and Burts has been one of the best chapsticks to help combat her chapped lips.
Balms
I have a tiny upper lip and this is the perfect liner that lasts all day. There is also something so satisfying about peeling it off.
iMethod 2-In-1 Dual-Ended Peel Off Lip Stain
This is the BEST lip filler and color in one! I have a practically invisible top lip and this plumped it instantly and I love all the colors.
Maybelline Lifter Gloss Hydrating Lip Gloss
The best makeup is also skincare. This ELF glow reviver nourishes my dry lips while giving the right amount of color and shine without that sticky feeling.
Glow Reviver Tinted Lip Oil
This is currently viral and Tiktok and for good reason! Not only do they have beautiful colors, but again it's skincare not just make up. If you have been waiting to try it, now is the time before they sell out.
NOONI Korean Lip Oil - Applefig, Moisturizing
Face
Menopause hit and the texture of my skin changed, why? I'm sure it has something to do with all the hormone changes, but I still want to feel pretty in my own skin. Here are some of the products I use to feel like myself again.
Even Better Clinique primer is one of my favorites on the “higher end” of the price range. I don't spend much because I don't use it often enough to justify the cost. I have another primer that is on the “lowest end” of the price range that I will share too. I like this because it doesn't ball up when I put it on my face and it fills in my pores making my skin a smooth canvas prior to putting on my foundation.
Even Better™ Light Reflecting Glowy Face Primer
Another win for Maybelline from me! I didn't even realize how many products I use from Maybelline. This is my favorite because of the price. It really does make my skin baby soft and doesn't ball up and pill off my skin. Sometimes I will just wear this alone or with a tinted moisturizer.
Baby Skin® Instant Pore Eraser® Primer
I've tried so many different foundations and this is the one that works best for me and lasts the longest without transferring onto my clothes. It is buildable so you can use as little or as much coverage as you like. I have pink undertones with my natural redness and use “cream whip” as my everyday color.
Even Better™ Makeup Broad Spectrum Foundation SPF 15
This is my favorite BB and CC cream. They are both light and don't feel heavy on my skin. They are perfect alone or with primer underneath. I like to use a moisturizer before using either of these.
Covergirl Cc Cream
My favorite tinted moisturizer! No primer needed. This melts into your skin and is buildable so you can use as much or as little as you like.
Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50
