Fresh Face in a Flash
I use these products because they’re quick, forgiving and don’t require pro skills. Most of them can be applied with fingers or one brush. If makeup has started to feel complicated as your skin has changed, think of this list as a shortcut: pick one ...
MERIT Clean Beauty & Minimalist Makeup | MERIT Official Site
Day Glow is my “I’ve had a full night’s sleep” stick, even when I haven’t. It gives a soft, balmy sheen rather than glitter, which is much kinder on mature skin and fine lines. I swipe it on the tops of my cheeks, a bit on the bridge of my nose and s...
MERIT Day Glow Highlighting Balm
It’s dense but soft, so it buffs in tinted moisturiser, foundation and cream blush without leaving streaks or patches. I use it to swipe product on, then just lightly buff around my nose, cheeks and jawline for a smoother finish that still looks like...
Brush No.1
The texture feels light and comfortable on my 60+ skin, with just enough tint to even things out without looking like heavy foundation. I use it on busy days in summer when I want a bit of glow and colour correction but zero faff – fingers only, no b...
CC Crème Teintée - Vinocrush | CAUDALIE®
I add a few drops of this to my foundation for an all over glow.
Superfood Glow Priming Moisturiser 60ml
Low-Effort, High-Impact Lips
Bisou Balm is my “swipe and go” lip when I want to look a bit pulled together without doing a full lipstick. It gives that soft, blurred French-girl colour – enough pigment to wake up the face, but sheer and forgiving on mature lips that don’t love h...
Bisou Balm Multi-Tasking Lip Blur
Shade Slick is my glossy-but-comfortable lip for busy days. It feels more like a treatment than a traditional gloss, so it’s kind to mature lips that can be a bit dry or lined. I swipe it on when I want a hint of colour and shine without stickiness o...
Shade Slick
Dior Addict gives a glossy, hydrated finish that’s very kind to mature lips – no dry, flat matte in sight. The colour is buildable, so I can do a light wash for daytime or layer it up for evening without it feeling heavy or bleeding everywhere. The b...
Dior Addict : rouge à lèvres brillant et hydratant rechargeable | DIOR
It feels more like a nourishing oil than a sticky gloss, which is perfect for mature lips that don’t love heavy formulas. Bêtise adds a soft, flattering wash of colour and shine that wakes up my face without looking overdone. I wear it on its own on ...
Lip Nectar - Bêtise
Simple Eyes, Big Difference
Maybelline mascaras are the GOAT for me – and the most affordable option I recommend to anyone. I’ve been using them since I was 13 and no matter how many “luxury” ones I try, I always end up back here. They give proper black lashes, good lift and vo...
Mascara | Lengthening & Curling Mascaras THE GOAT
Brow 1980 in Light Brown is my “done but not drawn-on” brow. The shade is soft enough for lighter hair and mature faces – no harsh blocks of colour – and the tiny brush makes it easy to swipe through in seconds. It adds a bit of tint and fluff, keeps...
Brow 1980 Volumizing Mousse
Clean Lash is my “good lashes with zero drama” mascara. It gives definition, a bit of length and lift, but stays soft and flexible – perfect for mature lashes that don’t need thick, clumpy volume. It’s a tubing formula, so it doesn’t smudge under my ...
MERIT Clean Lash Mascara
Fresh in Five Cheeks
Bisou Blush is my easy lip-and-cheek in one stick. The shade is soft but still has enough warmth to wake up my 60+ skin without looking clownish or heavy. I tap it onto my cheeks for a fresh, healthy flush, then dab the same colour onto my lips so ev...
Bisou Blush - Inès
Flush Balm is my quick, cream blush when I want colour without effort. The texture is sheer and balmy, so it melts into mature skin instead of sitting on top or going patchy. I tap it on with fingers over bare skin or base, and it gives a soft, healt...
