I love pretty makeup, and the packaging is what makes it gorgeous! I love these photos but this is a little too much makeup for me (I know, is there such a thing?!). But I’ve pared down my makeup routine in a big way as I age, and I’m so much happier.
I really focus on my skin and regularly get fillers, dermaplaning and peels to keep it in as good a shape as it can be. My total secret weapon though is Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. I use the #7 which is one of the most popular colors but you can go to the Saks counter and they will help you find the right one. Ya’ll! This is the best! I cannot say how it smoothes out my skin and covers imperfections, it’s amazing. Then I just let it sit for a little bit to sink in and I pat on some Bare Minerals (the matte powder not the luminous one which makes me too shiny).
Then I do the tiniest bit of contour with the $6 ELF palette (mainly I dab the white on my cheekbones and under my eyebrows. I finish off with filling in my brows with those little red Maybelline pencils and I brush some clear mascara over them to keep them in place.
And then my last thing is lipstick, lipstick is the one thing I do NOT go out without. Ever! But I use all cheap stuff except for the foundation and then I guess the Bare Minerals is kind of mid-range price. Anyway, you can check out some of my faves below, trust me less is more!
