Foundation & Finish
Lay the foundation for the rest of your makeup or bare face.
This I use on the bridge of my nose, and to cover blemishes when I wear foundation or not.
The Face Pencil
For full light coverage too smooth out your skin. This has always been my go to when I wear foundation and don’t go bare faced.
KVD Beauty Good Apple Full-Coverage Foundation
To finish everything and get rid of a bit of shine I use this as a light dusting all over my face.
Tinted Face Powder
This is for the no foundation days if I want a bit of color. Otherwise I go bare.
Just Enough Tinted Moisturizer
Cheeks, Highlight, and Contour
This is where you add a bit of color and highlight or contour. I love multi-use products and these ones do the trick.
There are many different shades and I prefer to buy the minis as there is an 18 month shelf life on these once you break the seal. I use them for cheek color, highlighting, contouring, and bronzing.
Miracle Balm
One of my favorite things is when they come out with these mini-combos in the miracle balms. Can try out new fun shades to try!
The Mini Miracle Balm Trio
This one is new to my routine and I tend to carry it in my purse to use as a touch up if or when needed.
Color & Care Tint Stick
Eyes
Hooded aging eyes need products that don’t pull on your skin around sensitive eyes or disappear easily.
Find your perfect shade to cover those under eye circles when you spent the night creating.
The Neutralizer Pencil: Best Undereye Concealer
I use this to bring out my eyes as my eyelashes have become thinner as I have aged. A bit of a smug and then define with another line on the outer sections of my eyes. My eyes are also hooded so I do line on the outer and waterline of my eyes.
The Best Pencil: Clean Eyeliner Pencil
I go between this and the Jones Road eyeliner depending on the day. Both are good for sensitive eyes, but find sometimes these go on a bit smoother than the Jones pencil.
Ulta Beauty
These are the perfect thing for contact wearers or anyone with sensitive eyes. Great touch of color that gives you the not made up made up look
Brilliant Eye Brightener Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick
Found this mascara and I not only love how it makes my lashes look, but you can’t beat the price!
Lash Princess False Lash Mascara
Lips
Last but not least a touch of color or gloss goes a long way to a finished face. Even when going for no makeup
look or truly no makeup
This is for the days I go without my signature red lip and want a more casual no makeup look. They are so hydrating and make my lips feel amazing!
Hydrating Lifter Lip Gloss with Hyaluronic Acid
I like to have a classic red lip like Rita Hayworth and it makes me feel put together. Besides a red lip is simply fun! This last all day and several cups of coffee.
