12
items I’m 54, and I don’t want makeup that makes me look 25—I just want my skin to look fresh, my eyes a little brighter, and to still look like me. As my skin has changed, I’ve learned that more makeup definitely isn’t always better. These are the product...

Complexion
My goal with complexion makeup is coverage without looking or feeling heavy. I want to soften my dark circles, even out my skin and add coverage where I need it—but I still want my skin to look like skin. These are the products that are working for m...
This has become my first step for my under-eyes. I have noticeable dark circles, and this helps neutralize the darkness before I apply concealer so I don’t have to pile on as much product. I use a small amount, then layer my Natasha Denona concealer ...
Bobbi Brown Skin Color Correcting Concealer Stick for ...
I really love the coverage I get from this concealer without it feeling heavy under my eyes. I use it after a tiny amount of my Huda Beauty color corrector, and the two together make such a difference with my dark circles. It gives me the coverage I ...
#2 NATASHA DENONA Hy-Glam Concealer - Ulta Beauty
This is the foundation I keep reaching for right now. I like that it doesn't feel heavy on my skin, and I can start with a light layer and build up coverage only where I need it. At 54, I really don't want a thick layer of foundation sitting on my sk...
#3 LAURA GELLER Baked Balance-n-Brighten Powder ...
I use just a small amount of this powder under my eyes and through my T-zone and around my nose—basically anywhere I want to set my makeup or take down a little shine. It goes on beautifully and does a great job for me without feeling like I'm piling...
#4 Prisme Libre Loose Powder: Loose Setting Powder
Eyes
I love pinks and purples on my eyes, especially shades that make my blue eyes stand out without looking too heavy for everyday. These are the eye products I reach for when I want a little definition and color while still keeping my makeup soft and we...
I didn't always use an eyeshadow primer, but this one may have changed that! It makes my eyelids feel so soft and satiny and gives me a really nice base before I start applying my eyeshadow. I've also noticed that it does a great job of holding my ey...
#1 Eyeshadow Primer Potion Anti-Aging
I really love the simplicity of this little palette. It has just the right number of shades to create a complete eye look without giving me so many choices that I don't know where to start! I can keep it soft and pretty for daytime or deepen it when ...
#2 NATASHA DENONA Mini Rose Eyeshadow Palette
I really like this gel liner! Plum Smash is such a pretty color and gives my eyes definition without feeling as harsh as a traditional black liner. The thing I've been especially impressed with is how well it stays put. I don't end up with liner blee...
#3 Plum Smash | Crème Gel Liner
I normally gravitate toward softer plum and neutral eyeliners, but I added this blue to change things up and bring out my blue eyes. It gives me a little pop of color without feeling too bright or overdone. I especially like it when I want my eye mak...
Milk Makeup INFINITY Long Lasting Waterproof Eyeliner ...
This is the mascara I'm using right now, and I've been really happy with how it performs. It gives my lashes nice definition and wears well throughout the day without giving me problems. I haven't compared it to a bunch of different mascaras recently...
#4 Black | Level Up Mascara
Cheeks & Color
This is where I bring a little life and color back into my face. I prefer soft, natural-looking color that warms up my complexion without looking heavy or overdone. These are the products I reach for to give my everyday makeup that finishing touch.
I love how easy this is to use! The applicator lets me put the product exactly where I want it, and then it blends out so easily. I can start with a small amount and add more if I need it, which makes it really hard to overdo. I use the shade Soft Br...
#1 Soft Bronze Sculpt Tape Contour - Tarte
I reach for this blush all the time! I love the applicator because I can put the color exactly where I want it, but a little goes a LONG way. I start with just one tiny dot and blend it out, then build from there if I want a little more color or a mo...
#2 Shop Angel Face | Weightless Liquid Blushes by ColourPop®
Lips
I like my everyday lip color to be easy, comfortable and something I don't have to fuss with. I usually reach for a tinted lip product that gives me a little color while still feeling soft and comfortable on my lips. These are the ones I actually kee...
These have become such an easy everyday lip for me. I love that I get a little color without feeling like I’m wearing a heavy lipstick, and they’re comfortable enough to keep reaching for throughout the day. PB&J and Macadamia are two of my favor...
