She’s tried a host of cosmetics, and here are some of her favorites:
‘MY GO-TO MAKEUP REMOVER’
As a mature woman, I need to give my skin plenty of moisture each day. Albolene is my go-to makeup remover. It’s extremely affordable, has a long shelf life, and I love the moisturized feel it gives.
‘MUST-HAVE FOR MY SKIN’
Perricone MD is an absolute must-have for my skin. I use this high-potency, face-finishing-and-firming tinted moisturizer each morning. All the wonderful antioxidants, vitamin E and kukui nut seed oil provide hydration.
MAKE A DIFF
Don’t forget your sunglasses to keep your look retro glam! DIFF Eyewear is my favorite of favorites. Did you know they have helped provide the gift of sight to over 2.7 million people in need?
‘BEST FOR MY BUDGET AND MY LASHES’
Girlfriends, I have tried them all, seriously! The best mascara for my budget and my lashes is Maybelline Great Lash because the wand is so nice and separates your lashes.
PAMPER YOUR LIPS
With the Coast’s heat and humidity, my favorite lip augmenter is Image Skincare Ormedic Sheer Pink Lip Enhancement Complex. Wear it for moisture either as a gloss or over your lipstick.
SHOW YOUR SKIN SOME LOVE
We all need a great blurring and brightening primer. I really enjoy Becca Skin Love, which is infused with glow nectar brightening hydra complex. Let it set a few minutes before applying your favorite foundation or skin tint.
‘LOOK YOUR BEST WITH LITTLE EFFORT’
Yellow face powder helps conceal imperfections. YBF Neutralizing Pressed Powder reduces shine and sets your makeup so you can look your best with little effort. Wear it alone or over foundation. Plus, it’s paraben-free, of course!
‘THE BEST VALUE YOU WILL EVER FIND’
For your face, hair and nails, castor and argan oil are the best value you will ever find for your face, hair and nails. After taking off your makeup each evening before bed (Makeup removal is a must, ladies!), apply the castor and argon oils and feel your skin say, “Thank you, gorgeous!”
