items I’m 60 and people think I’m ~43 (really). While I don’t claim that products are the secret (just good genes!) here are the products I swear by. My style is ‘Classic with a bold twist’. I have dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, and neutral undertones—flattered by deep neutrals, rich jewel tones, and the occasional striking pop of red or cobalt and I am a Dark Autumn.

Love this soap - it's helping me get rid of dark spots on my skin and relieving that annoying darkness under my arms!
VALITIC Kojic Acid Dark Spot Soap Bars (2)
Takes off everything. Waterproof mascara, sunscreen, a full day of makeup. Gone. Melts from balm to oil to milk as you massage it in. No stinging, no greasy residue, no tight stripped feeling after. My skin feels clean and soft, not like I need to im...
HEIMISH All Clean Balm 120ml - Vegan Cleanser
The sunscreen I actually wear every day. Because if it feels heavy or greasy or leaves a white cast, I'm not putting it on. This one disappears. Weightless, no scent, no residue. Works under makeup (doubles as a primer) or on its own. Oil-free, so no...
Supergoop! Unseen Clear Face Sunscreen SPF 40
I use this after cleansing to sweep off whatever's left. Keeps my pores clear without drying me out or that tight stripped feeling some toners give you. Simple, does what it says.

Less is more. These are the products I reach for when I want to look polished without looking like I'm ‘made up’.
Yes, it's pricey. I use it nearly every day anyway. As a Dark Autumn, these neutrals hit perfectly. Rich color payoff, blends easy, no fallout. I can do a simple everyday look in under two minutes or build it up when I want more. Compact enough for t...

Five ingredients. Looks like skin, not makeup. Swirl, tap, buff in circles. The powder transforms to silky cream and builds from sheer to full coverage. Talc-free, vegan, non-comedogenic. SPF 15 built in. Doesn't settle into fine lines or get shiny b...

This is what I reach for when I want more coverage than my everyday powder foundation but still want my skin to look like skin. Lightweight, serum texture, buildable. Gives a natural finish without settling into lines or looking heavy. No cakey mask ...
MAC Studio Radiance Serum Powered Foundation NW15
The travel palette I keep in my bag. Six rosy neutrals, mix of matte and shimmer, tiny mirror inside. Blends easy, stays put all day. When I want something softer than my usual warm neutrals, this is it.
URBAN DECAY Naked 3 Mini Palette - 6 Pink Shadows
This is the under-eye concealer that actually looks natural. Brightens without that chalky overcorrected look. Blends fast, doesn't crease, doesn't settle into lines by noon. Seashell is my perfect match.
