Base
The foundation (pun intended) of any good makeup routine. These products prep, perfect, and protect your skin while giving you the coverage level you actually want that day.
This primer is specifically formulated for mature skin and creates the perfect canvas. Your makeup goes on smoother and stays put longer.
Battle Prep - Smoothing Face Primer
My go-to for “I want coverage but not a full face” days. It’s got SPF built in and evens out your skin tone without feeling heavy. Perfect for running errands or casual days. I use shade “Pearl”
Tinted Moisturizers: Natural, Oil Free, & with SPF
When I want actual coverage, this is what I reach for. It goes on smooth, doesn’t settle into fine lines, and gives that lit-from-within glow without looking shiny.
I use shade 0,5N
Dior Forever Skin Glow: Hydrating Face Foundation
This concealer doubles as a color corrector and it’s incredibly versatile. Some days I just mix a bit of this with my SPF and I’m done. It blends beautifully and doesn’t crease.
I use shade 0,5N
Dior Forever Skin Correct - Concealer and Corrector
Color
Blush and contour to add dimension and life back into your face. Because mature skin needs strategic color placement, not heavy-handed application.
A little goes a long way with this one, which I love. It’s buildable, blends easily, and works great on mature skin without emphasizing texture.
I use shade Peony.
Beauty Concepts Liquid Blush Duo * ROSE & PEONY *
This is a grey-toned contour, which is perfect if you’re cool-toned like me. No orange muddy bullshit. Plus the applicator makes it easy to get precise placement.
I use shade Soft Tan
Sun Sculpt Liquid Contour-Warm Honey
Eyes
From everyday neutrals to dramatic looks, these products deliver pigment and staying power without the fallout or creasing that plagues so many eyeshadows and liners.
Beautiful colors with great pigment that glides on without tugging. This palette does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
Smashbox Covershot Palette - Punked - 0.21 oz - Ulta Beauty
Highly pigmented, buttery smooth, and the color payoff is incredible. These are my luxury splurge palettes and worth every penny.
I use palettes Galactic and Night Walk
Diorshow Eyeshadows Designer Eye Palettes - Makeup
Glides on effortlessly and actually stays put. No raccoon eyes by midday.
Black Card Liquid Eyeliner
This is my tightlining holy grail. It’s precise, stays where you put it, and doesn’t smudge into your waterline.
I use Black Screen
Epic Wear Waterproof Eyeliner Stick
Long-wearing mascara that doesn’t flake or smudge. Gives great length and curl without clumping.
Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Refillable Mascara
Foolproof brow filling that looks natural. The shape makes it easy to create hair-like strokes. I use shade 6
Goof Proof Brow Pencil
Lips
My most extensive category because I’m particular about lip products. Whether you want a bold red, a subtle tint, or something that lasts through coffee and conversation, I’ve got you covered.
Strawberry Sangria is THE PERFECT RED. It goes on like a gloss so you can wear it shiny, or wipe it off for a subtle tint. No peeling off that awful black film like some other lip stains. This is the one.
Poutsicle Hydrating Lip Stain
If you don’t mind the peel-off application, this is my favorite long-wear option. The color payoff is incredible and it lasts all damn day.
I use Glamorous (red) and Whimsical (neutral)
WONDER BLADING All-Day Lip Stain - WONDERSKIN
Long-wearing and beautiful. This tint gives you that “my lips but better” vibe that actually lasts.
I use Natural Berry
Dior Addict - Transfer-Proof Hydrating Lip Tint
Great for when you want just a hint of color. It’s comfortable to wear and doesn’t dry out your lips.
I use Sassy Stuff
Smushy Soft Matte Tinted Lip Balm | NYX Professional Makeup
Drugstore option with serious staying power. You get long wear without the luxury price tag.
I use Shanghai Sizzle
Revlon ColorStay Moisture Stain Milan 030
