items I have been a makeup wearer for nearly 30 years. Over time, makeup wants and needs have changed. This list focuses on my current needs, as a 40-something mother who takes about 10-15 minutes to apply her daily makeup.

Cleansers
My son is nine years old and it’s getting to the age where he’s getting minor blemishes. He’s recently added this gentle cleanser to his nightly routine and a good effect!
Gentle Skin Cleanser - Face & Body Cleaner
Gentle cleanser, was recommended by a dermatologist and I’ve been happy with the results.
Facial Cleansers: Face Wash, Micellar Water & Bar Soap
Lotions
The ultimate in hydration. It feels like a drink of water for underneath the eyes! Great base layer under concealer or wear it alone.
Auto Correct Brightening + Depuffing Eye Cream
An absolute must when I have rosacea flare ups. This product requires a doctors prescription, but the intake is straightforward and can be completed online. Redness settles about 1-2 hours after application.
The Red Rescue | $32/mo | Quick Redness & Flushing Relief
One compliment I have gotten many times over the years is how soft my skin is. My everyday lotion is Nivea Firming Q10 lotion. I’m not sure if my skin is firmer or not, but it certainly softens my naturally dry skin. That alone is a win!
NIVEA
Makeup
MAC Cosmetics Ruby Woo is a great shade when you need some oomph! It makes your teeth look whiter, too. That’s what sold me. :)
MAC Retro Matte Lipstick | Ruby Woo, All Fired Up, Dangerous & More
Love the 9-ingredients face moisturizer
Typology
Flattering on all shades! I do not wear lipstick and lipliner often, but this shade is my go-to when I do because it can be worn for most occasions.
Pillow Talk Collection - Nude-pink Lipstick & Eyeshadow
Fool-proof application (which I need!) and the colors layer and blend beautifully.
Eyeshadow - Palettes, Quads & Exclusive Kits
After applying moisturizer, a little goes a long way! I typically wear shade NC40.
Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 Foundation | 67 Soft Matte Shades
LOVE this liquid eyeliner! Stays put all day and find it easier to apply than other liners that I’ve tried. I use this to extend my lash line a bit.
Epic Ink Waterproof Liquid Liner | NYX Professional Makeup
This blush is a classic! No matter how pale or tan I am, this blush seems to work with whatever hue I’m rocking. I love to try different brands and products, but this one I will always come back to when I need a fail safe product!
Powder Blush - Orgasm
Almost time for a refill on the bronzer! I wear this bronzer daily because it really makes my face come alive. I wear it over SPF for an every day queen look, and I wear it over my foundation for a more elevated look. I have been pleased with all the...
Tarte
Great drugstore make up at an affordable price point! I am particularly loving the Fat Oil in the shade “Follow Back”!
NYX Cosmetics
Who doesn’t love a multipurpose product? Place this tent on your lips, cheeks, or eyelids for a little bit of color. It takes the guess work out of your makeup routine on those no-fuss days!
Lip Tint Makeup
This has been one of my favorite stores for years! I’ve purchased anything from Mac Cosmetics perfume to self heating eyelash curlers from Sephora. I find their products to be high-quality and long lasting, and the little gifts for being a Sephora in...
Sephora
Another great store for hair, products, skin care, and makeup. Ulta also includes salon services, and I can’t recommend hair stylist Taylor Fisher at the Keystone location enough!
Ulta Beauty

I wear this every day. My lips ten to run dry and this Vaseline keeps my lips feeling hydrated.The rosy hue gives subtle color, nothing dramatic. Perfect for every day wear.
Vaseline® Lip Therapy® Rosy Mini
Chic hand sanitizer! Love blending practicality and style! The clean scents from Touchland are my favorites.
Separately, they sell holders so my kids always have cleaner handy on their backpacks.
Touchland
My every day fragrance! Makes me feel put together, even on my less put together days. :)
Vanilla Skin Body Mist
Love how this product applies to my skin. It makes a nice base for my makeup! Only thing to note is I sometimes get light breakouts with daily use. When that happens, I switch to every other day and my face clears.
Sunday Riley CEO Glow Vitamin C and Turmeric Face Oil
Body Oil
Patrick Ta’s major glow body oil is lovely. The scent is light but heavenly!
Patrick Ta Beauty
Love using this body oil in the summertime. It complements a tan so beautifully!
