Makeup
These are products I actually use and have vetted. I love the results. Whether you are new to learning makeup or want to switch to a more effective mid-life face routine, you'll love what you use from this list.
The best, no question! I've tried many brow pencils & nothing compares. I use the auburn color.
Brow Wiz
I come back to this tried and true over & over! It's better than some I've paid double for.
Mascara: Lengthening, Volumizing, Waterproof
I have used this for years! A small bottle will last forever. It is anti-aging corrector and waterproof. Best stuff I've found.
Bye Bye Under Eye Full Coverage Waterproof Concealer
This is when you are in the mood for a non-full-coverage day. It highlights and brightens while adding some color to your face. I dap some blush on top and mascara for my simple makeup days!
Baked Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Foundation
I always use the clear stuff to prep for color on my lips. It plumps them up and gives a full look. Make sure and apply 15-20 minutes before you add color!
City Lips - Plumping Lip Gloss
These were all the rage a few years ago but I'm still a fan! All day lip coverage and no smudges. More importantly, no lip color falling into your lip lines. I prefer the gloss with a little gold shimmer to it!
Lip Makeup
I love this little magic in a bottle! Places your brows right where you want them and they stay there all day! I've used it before my brow pencil and after, each giving a tad different look.
Clear Brow Gel
I'm new to contouring but I love the results! Counteract your sagging mid-life skin with more definition. This stick is rubbed on cheekbones, at the top of the forehead, and just under the chin. I dab a bit on both sides of my nose as well. Adds dime...
Sculpt & Define Contour Stick – Creamy Matte by ACE BEAUTÉ
The best foundation for a full coverage day. Applies lightly but covers well. Feels natural and not heavy. Does not accentuate wrinkles or creases. Works well with contouring stick!
Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 Foundation | 67 Soft Matte Shades
I was skeptical, but this makes a huge difference in how long your makeup lasts! I'm amazed at the end of the day how put together I still look. A splurge, but worth it!!

Skin care
I swear by their “The Works” bundle! My skin has never looked better!!
DIME® Beauty
I love what this does to my skin overnight! Easy to find and works hard for the price!
Night Creams
A must have for aging skin. It places an even coat to lay foundation on which creates a smooth look! Place this on top of moisturizer and under makeup!
