My Fav Beauty Products As A Midlifer.

Purple Star emoji 12 items
As a midlifer the products I look for are formulated and/or work well with mature skin. In my 20’s and 30’s I wasn’t concerned with hydration, or making sure what was in the product was good for my skin. Now…that is absolutely what I look for first! ...

Goes on easy, no clumping and stays on all-day without flaking. Great for when you are busy and want a finished look all day long.

I questioned whether a balm would be good for my mature skin and this product has truly impressed me! It goes on easy and gives me the coverage I like. It also doesn’t dry out my skin like some foundations do. I see this being in my routine for a wh...

This may be the most exciting add to my bag! This eye concealer hydrates and hides the dark undereye area plus has an illuminating effect that makes them shine. This is a keeper for my mature eyes!!

I am a fan of Dibs and this mascara/primer duo doesn’t disappoint. The primer has a brown tint which I love!! It’s not the harsh black and I feel I could wear it alone if I just wanted a really natural look. I still prefer my Tarte Tubing Mascara ove...

The Dibs Duo stick is great for contouring or just when you need a blush. It goes on smooth and blends in really nice. Lots of color options to choose from as well.

As a midlifer who likes an easy/quick way to get ready and have a finished look, I found the Baked and Brighten Foundation. So easy to apply. Honestly, you can’t mess it up! I love how it melts onto my skin over time and it doesn’t even look like I...

This is my go-to blush. The marbleization gives you the perfect color and there is a slight pearl glow to it when applied. It just gives you a touch of brightness which I love.

I just started using these eye shadows and am really happy with them. I got Linen and Rose Water. They go on so easy either with your finger or a brush and they stay on! No creasing either which is so important for hooded eyelids.

I am new to using a setting spray, but I do really like this one, especially when I use it with the It Cosmetics Face Balm. Goes on with a light mist and dries very quickly.

This is one of my new favorites I keep in my purse at all times. I have Self Worth and Self Determined and they go with everything. I’m new to liking a gloss, but these do not get sticky or feel weird while it’s on. Very silky smooth and keeps my lip...

I have been enjoying a good lip gloss lately and Elf’s has joined my fav list. It’s not sticky and the color I use, It’s Giving Guava, seems to go with everything.

Sometimes I just like a lipstick pencil. But my requirements are that it still moisturizes and has a good neutral color for daily use. I found it in this Ulta color “As If”.
