26
items I'm not 25 anymore so I'm not buying a lot of what you see promoted on TikTok or even here. So I created a list of my favorite makeup and beauty products for the women in my age group. Things I have tried personally and loved.

Body Like A Back Road
Face It, You're Fabulous
This is my go to for my rosacea. I used the non-green one forever until I found this one. They are both great. Wear it daily.
UV Skin Recovery Green Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50 | EltaMD®
Helps with my rosacea
Netwik Azelaic Acid 10% Serum, Hyaluronic Acid, 1 fl oz/30 mL
This is my other go to concealer. Great for mature skin. Good coverage. Easy to apply. I can use this under my eyes and nothing else for a natural look-honestly!
Futurist Soft Touch Brightening Skincealer Concealer | Estée Lauder
This is what I switched to when I couldn't find PUR locally anymore. Goes on light enough to not be cakey but has good coverage and I love that it has sunscreen built in.
2C3 Fresco Futurist Skin Tint Serum Foundation SPF 20 - Estée Lauder | Ulta Beauty
Great mascara for those of us not blessed with thick lashes
The Comeback Mascara | ĀTHR Beauty
I never thought I could wear a red lip. I tried so many different colors and brands. Then I found this! Trick is to let it dry completely before doing anything. Then wipe off your teeth or any smudge. Pair with their liners!
Stamina Lip Lingerie XXL Long-Lasting Matte Liquid Lipstick - NYX Professional Makeup | Ulta Beauty
Pair this with the Stamina lip stain. I got the red. You may prefer a different color. But this goes on easy and lasts!!
Red Retractable Long-Lasting Mechanical Lip Liner - NYX Professional Makeup | Ulta Beauty
100% worth it. I don't use setting or pressed powder any more. Just this!
3.3 oz Airbrush Flawless Hydrating & Waterproof Setting Spray - Charlotte Tilbury | Ulta Beauty
This is a must for summer or for any time you want a lighter day look. It goes on smooth, hydrates, AND protects! I adore this product.
0N Silk Long-Wear Tinted Moisturizer Natural Dewy Skin Tint SPF 30 with Hyaluronic Acid - Laura Mercier | Ulta Beauty
Another great tinted moisturizer from Laura M. I usually use this one in the winter because it's a little more moisturizing.
Tinted Moisturizer - Skin Care - 62 Products | Ulta Beauty
If you need blurring powder this is the one! Will not show up like some that just sit on top of your face. Actually blends.
Translucent Medium Deep Translucent Loose Setting Powder Ultra-Blur - Laura Mercier | Ulta Beauty
This is my favorite brand of makeup brushes and I have tried many. I can usually find them on sale or with a promo offer at Ulta.
M161 Large Rounded Powder Brush - Morphe | Ulta Beauty
Great brush. This is my favorite brand now
M132 Angled Concealer Brush - Morphe | Ulta Beauty
This is now my daily moisturizer.
Neutrogena Collagen Bank Moisturizer with SPF, 2 OZ
Perfect for hydrating lips and keeping them looking their best. A little tint to it if you want to use it as lip balm for daytime by itself.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Lip Water Balm, Sheer Berry
This is one of a few products I rotate through but I usually use this for travel. Like that it's a scrub. It's still gentle.
Aveeno Positively Radiant Brightening & Exfoliating Face Scrub - 5oz: Hypoallergenic, Noncomedogenic, Oil-Free
Great for lips that tend to be chapped or dry. But really for anyone.
ESW Beauty Frosted Mint Smoothie with Cloud Charm Lip Treatment - 0.4 fl oz: Moisturizing, Tube, Translucent
Toss That Hair
Great for texture. Not as good as the John Frieda product but will do if you can't find that one.
Salt + Séa Texturizing Spray - L'ange Hair
Love this stuff. Great for an easy hairstyle in the summer when blow drying is just too much. And it smells good!
John Frieda Beach Blonde Sea Waves Spray 5oz
Cheaper than the stuff at the salon and sulfate free. I have been using this for my color treated hair after the shampoo for awhile and I think it does a great job.
Nexxus Color Assure Conditioner 33.8 oz
My go to shampoo for my color treated blonde hair . Sulfate free. Works great. And I love that it lasts so long. I alternate with a purple shampoo as well.
Nexxus Color Assure Shampoo for Color Hair 33.8oz
On the rare occasion I go out for a wild night on the town (what's that?) this is the Aqua Net of my 50s but not quite as toxic to my nasal passages. Probably not as sticky either.
TIGI Bed Head Hard Head Extreme Hold Hair Spray Aerosol - 11.7oz
Body Like A Back Road
This is such a simple product but I love it! Great for summer or nights out. Gives you a little shimmery glow to your skin and smells incredible.
Golden Hour Glazed and Glisten Body Gel Oil - Vaseline | Ulta Beauty
Great product for anyone but especially
mature skin!! I find this sunscreen goes on well and not greasy. But it also seems hydrating !
La Roche-Posay Skincare, Sunscreen, Body Lotion Official Site
Ok Bridgerton fans, this one is for you! Not only does it smell absolutely like an English garden, this body scrub exfoliates like it's trying to get the scandal out of your skin. And it's sulfate free.
Dove Beauty Limited Edition Bridgerton Body Scrub - Moonlit Masquerade - Hydrangea & White Wisteria Scent - 15oz
This was a product that I didn't expect to like but it smells like heaven. The cashmere vanilla scent anyway. I have not tried any other. You can use this on your body or on linens. It instantly gives me a mood boost. Not a heavy spray. But the fragr...
Being Frenshe Cashmere Vanilla Women's Hair, Body & Linen Mist Body Spray with Essential Oils - 5 fl oz
