I've worn this particular eyeliner and color for years. I love it!! When you find what works, why change ?!!
Stash 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil - Urban Decay Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
One of my favs is MAC's soft brown. I use it with Haux satin and blend.
Soft Brown Matte Eyeshadow - MAC | Ulta Beauty
I've been using MAC's HAUX for years for daytime wear and deepen it in the crease of my eyes for evening. It's truly a beautiful, versatile color. In addition, I am sold on MAC because whatever color you chose their eyeshadows last all day looking gr...
Haux Satin Eyeshadow - MAC | Ulta Beauty
As we age, our eyebrows tend to thin and go gray. Enter MAC's brow pencil. Use feather strokes with the pencil and the brush to smooth out your artistic moves. I found "Lingering" matches my brown lashes nicely but they have tons of other colors.
Lingering Pro Brow Definer 1mm-Tip Brow Pencil - MAC | Ulta Beauty
Need a new blush? MAC's powder blush gives you just enough color to brighten up your complexion. My fav is "Happy-Go-Rosy" which I also add to the tip of my nose and temples. Another great feature is the amount of powder in the pot. It feels limitles...
Happy-Go-Rosy Mineralize Powder Blush - MAC | Ulta Beauty
I love playing pickleball so had to find something that wouldn't leave a dark smudge under my eyes. It also had to give me some length and volume as well as come off with minimum effort. I do use an eye makeup remover product.
Black High Impact Waterproof Volumizing Mascara - Clinique | Ulta Beauty
Clinique's eye makeup remover is my choice for taking off my waterproof mascara. It's gentle and effective so gets my ⭐️
Rinse-Off Eye Makeup Remover Solvent - Clinique | Ulta Beauty
After we returned home from a trip, I realize I'd left my make-up bag behind. To tide me over I bought some less expensive items and found they worked well. Eyeshadow primer is a must especially if you like to swim or play sports. Keep your hard work...
e.l.f. Lock It Down Eyeshadow Primer - 0.23 fl oz
Best hack ever. Not only does oil free Micellar Cleansing Water take off make-up and mascara, but you can use it instead of dry shampoo to touch up oily hair. Just add MCW to a cotton pad and dab to the roots of your hair. The best part is you won't ...
Garnier Micellar Water Hydrating Facial Cleanser & Makeup Remover - Basic Cleansing - 13.5 fl oz
When I left my regular eyeliner behind on a trip, I picked this product in charcoal and was super pleased at how well it applied. The color worked well and gave me just the look I needed. I also loved the price.
e.l.f. No Budge Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner - Brown - 0.006fl oz
Bye Bye will make those dark circles disappear without showing off any fine lines around your eyes. It costs a bit but isn't beauty worth it? They also help with two different ways to select your perfect color.
13.0 Light Natural Bye Bye Under Eye Full Coverage Anti-Aging Waterproof Concealer - IT Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
Need a base color? Urban Decay's Virgin has a bit of shimmer that brightens up my sometimes tired eyes. Always use an eye primer because it deepens the eyeshadow color and allows it to last all day.
Virgin 24/7 Eyeshadow - Urban Decay Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
Eyeshadow primer is a must to set your color and allow it to last throughout the day. I have several I've used and like. The less expensive is Elf but Urban Decay's product is a bit richer. I use both although not at the same time :) I also like the ...
0.33 oz Anti-Aging Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Urban Decay Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
Want a light, moisturizing foundation? This product provides coverage without sinking into fine lines. I usually don't wear foundation but this MAC product evens out skin tones and creates a dewy-like look to your face.
Medium 2 Strobe Dewy Skin Tint - MAC | Ulta Beauty
You will love the bit of plumping this lip gloss provides and the color choices are almost limitless. My by far fav is Tulip which works both for me and my sister although we have different skin tones. It's hard to go wrong with a gloss that gives yo...
Tulip Maracuja Juicy Lip Plumping Gloss - Tarte | Ulta Beauty
Yes, it works for fine lines!! I'm closing in on 70 and am thin so the lines around my eyes are a bit deeper but even these softened up. It's definitely worth the $$. My next purchase is their lip product.
