Skin Prep
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.
ONGREDIENTS Skin Barrier Calming Lotion
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.
MULTI CORREXION® Revive + Glow Eye Balm
I love Colorpop! And they did not disappoint with this eye balm. It is a great budget friendly version of the Roc correction stick. SO GOOD!
Ego Boost Brightening Serum Stick
This is such a versatile product. I will use this as my base most days. It is truly delightful on the skin. Feels like skincare, gives a perfect finish, layers nicely, and the 12 shades adapt to a wide range of of skin tones.
Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen
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

If you like a more tacky primer, this is your girl. It doesn’t finish sticky and your makeup won’t budge all day

I think this is my new Holy Grail! The minimalist gives easy, beautiful, seamless, blendable, coverage that leaves your skin looking absolutely FLAWLESS! This is a MUST for any woman’s makeup bag, minimalist or not! LITERALLY SO GOOD!
The Minimalist
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 ...
Under Eye Brightener
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.
Peptide Bounce Balm
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...
No Limits Cream Bronzer Stick
If I need to add a bit more color to my cheeks or eyes, I use the “better together” duo.
Wonder Woman Blush Affair Cream & Powder Palette
Get those brows in shape and lock them in place!
Eyebrow Glue Instant Brow Styler | NYX Professional Makeup
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
FLORA 4 - 01 Sedona
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.
Tartelette™ Tubing Mascara
Setting powder will help give a beautiful finish, but also helps lock your makeup in. Just remember that less is always more.

The best setting spray for ALL DAY LONG wear
