This is the moisturizer I’ve been looking for my whole life. It has a light, water cream texture that’s perfect for the warmer temperatures. This soothing and healing lotion also works wonders on those with blemishes or acne scarring.

As a middle aged woman, this has been great for brightening and de-puffing my under eye and eye lid area. It absorbs well, has a cooling effect, and plays well with makeup.

This primer has been in my routine for YEARS. It feels so nice on the skin. Makeup layers over it beautifully and lasts all day but it doesn’t feel sticky

By far, the best concealer I’ve ever used. I will wear this as my foundation if I need a bit more coverage than my tinted moisturizer. It’s creamy, blends beautifully, and is 50% skincare.

After a long night I need a bit more help to correct my under eye circles. The Catrice Instant Awake in Light Rose is a perfect fit for me. The formula doesn’t settle in lines and diffuses beautifully…and did you see the price point? Beauty doesn’t ...

When I need heavier coverage, I love this skincare derived foundation from Doll 10. It’s buildable and doesn’t feel heavy on the skin. My middle-aged skin loves the skincare ingredients and it doesn’t settle in fine lines.

This can be used as bronzer, contour, or “brontour”. During the warmer weather I lime to use as few products as possible so I usually multitask by brontouring. The triangular shape makes for easy and precise application and the cream formula blends o...

When doing natural makeup I stay away from glimmering highlighters, metallics, and shimmery shades. This Flora 4 in Sedona is my favorite for adding more dimension when needed

I love this mascara because it isn’t “too much” it gives beautiful, long, defined lashes while still looking natural. And the removal is clean. It flakes off with just warm water. No raccoon eyes.
