My Everyday Makeup for Women 50+
Simple Skincare That Works for My 50-Year-Old Skin
My Everyday Makeup for Women 50+
These are the makeup products I reach for every day. I love lightweight, natural-looking makeup that's easy to apply, feels comfortable on my mature skin, and lets me add a little extra drama to my lashes.
This primer makes a noticeable difference. My lashes look longer, fuller, and my mascara lasts all day.
Maybelline Sky High Lash Sensation Primer
This is the mascara I repurchase again and again. Cosmic Black gives me the look I want, and it's even better when I use the Sky High Primer first.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara
I'm a little obsessed with my lashes, and Babe Lash has become part of my routine. It really helped my lashes look longer over time, and I always grab the Costco double pack when I can.
Essential Lash Serum
I've never been someone who loves wearing foundation, but I do like a little coverage. Laura Geller's Baked Balance-n-Glow in Fair feels like I have almost nothing on, yet it evens out my skin tone and gives me a natural, healthy glow. It's quick and...
Foundations & Concealers - Laura Geller Beauty
I need a little help with dark circles and the occasional blemish (yes, those still happen!). This concealer gives me the coverage I want without settling into the creases under my eyes. My favorite trick is dabbing a little onto the back of my hand ...
HOURGLASS Consealer- Ulta Beauty
I'm all about natural makeup with a little extra attention on my eyes and lashes. This soft shimmer brightens my eyes, makes me look more awake, and lets my lashes be the star of the show. A little goes a long way!
Starlight Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow - Stila - Ulta Beauty
This is my everyday eyeshadow palette because I love the soft, matte shades. They give my eyes natural definition without looking overdone. I keep my eyeshadow matte, then finish with a touch of Stila shimmer on the inner part of my eyelids and lots ...
Smashbox Covershot Palette - 0.21oz - Ulta Beauty
Simple Skincare That Works for My 50-Year-Old Skin
After plenty of trial and error (and a few products that didn't live up to the hype), I've found a simple skincare routine that works for me in my 50s. These are the products that have earned a permanent spot on my bathroom counter because they make ...
Although this is technically skincare, it's an important part of my everyday makeup routine. It gives my skin a little extra coverage, creates a smooth base for my foundation, and adds SPF 30, so it's a product I never skip.
Super-Light Wrinkle Defense SPF 30
This has become my everyday cleanser because it's gentle without sacrificing cleansing power. It removes the last traces of makeup, leaves my skin feeling clean and hydrated (never tight or stripped), and doesn't irritate my skin. It doesn't create a...
RESIST Perfectly Balanced Foaming Cleanser - Paula's Choice
I was so excited when Costco brought these back! I've been a fan of the Kirkland makeup wipes for years. The original version had the best soft, stretchy cloth, then they changed them...and eventually they disappeared altogether. What was a girl to d... 💡 My little tip: I usually tear each wipe in half because one half is enough for most days. I tuck the other half back into the package for next time. I also store the package upside down so the wipes at the top stay nice and moist. It helps them la...
Kirkland Signature Micellar Facial Cleansing Wipes 180-count
If you know me, then you know I like my mascara bold! This cleansing balm melts away even several coats of mascara with just a tiny amount. It removes my eye makeup gently without irritating my skin, and I usually wipe it away with a tissue before wa...
FARMACY - Fragrance-Free Green Clean Cleansing Balm
Sometimes you accidentally rediscover an old favorite. I needed a travel-size toner while I was on a trip, and the Ulta associate suggested this one. Within just a couple of days, I remembered why I loved it—my skin felt incredibly clean, my pores lo...
Clinique Clarifying Face Lotion Toner 2 - Dry Combination | Ulta Beauty
A couple of years ago, after losing a significant amount of weight, my neck suddenly started looking older than I felt—and honestly, it freaked me out. Like a lot of women, I tried a few neck creams I'd seen recommended on Instagram, but this is the ...
StriVectin TL Advanced Tightening Neck Cream Plus, 1 oz, 2-pack
