coming from someone who's a frequent user of hot tools, my hair has been through it. it's not perfect, but these are the products and guides that have helped heal my DOUBLE split ends.
Now that I'm 56, I'm noticing fine lines and things I didn't have even five years ago. I've been on a quest to find the absolute best beauty products you can buy that work with maturing skin. From makeup that doesn't settle into lines, to serums that actually help, to hair care products that don't dry your graying hair, I have a list of my favorites for you to try. Since every person is unique, you should try the ones that make sense for you. Much of finding the best products is trial and error. Not everything lives up to the hype.
I am a cosmetics sales associate/makeup artist and these are my favorite makeup products and cosmetics that are all vegan, cruelty free and will definitely be worth trying out for yourself. I use these products very often and can attest to how amazing they are. I hope this helps! <3
Makeup I like wearing for casual days and dressy days. When I am just running errands or a night on the town. Use more or less depending on your needs. I mostly use Clinique as it works really well with my skin. However, I am not opposed to other brands
I highly recommend trying these products! My hair is bleached so I have to have good products to keep it healthy and shiny! I always get compliments for how healthy my looks and these are my favorite products that I use to keep it that way!
Consider this the greatest hits collection of my makeup drawer — the formulas that don’t just perform, they slay every single time. From velvety foundations that blur like a filter to statement lips and eye looks that hold the room, these are the icons worth repurchasing and re-wearing.
Less is more in my opinion when it comes to skin care. A good cleanser, moisturizer, retinol and sunscreen is really all you neeeeed but there’s some other good extras in here!
These are the makeup products I use on a daily basis. Sure I’ll have fun and experiment, but honestly, I can survive on very little makeup. These are the ones I gravitate to the most!
I'm 30+ with fine lines, acne, and combination oily skin. This is my full daytime/daily skincare routine. Everything here stops oil production, hydrates, and plumps. You can do this routine with or without makeup and everything will layer well!
