Mine have to be Tarte and Elf
Tarte just didn’t work out for me I used to love Elf, but recently it’s just not been that great.

Glossier
Generally agree but damn if I don’t LOVE Lashslick. Was never able to find a solid dupe either
A month ago I would’ve agreed, but their new foundation & concealer are awesome and have completely changed my view of them.
This. I get pissed off just looking at a glossier ad 😂
Its so funny. Young me had oily skin and had Glossier been around way back then ( I’m 68) I would have disliked the brand immensely.
Now I’m an old raisin and love Glossier products! Its so crazy how our skin changes as we age!🤭💕
I *so* love the FutureDew. Just a little mixed with moisturizer = IT.
Listen, you beautiful GRAPE, I want to hear everything about your makeup and skin routine.
Your skin must absolutely glow!
Thank you. I’m lucky to have been genetically gifted with thick skin. That, over that over the years has become dry.
However, I am diligent about removing my makeup at the end of the day. Have you ever heard of Albolene ? It is lard for the face and melts the makeup off. That’s the first step. Second is washing my face with either—Dove soap or a gentle generic face cleanser. Then I apply moisturizer-usually old-school Olay or Nivea.
AM. I splash tepid water on my face then moisturize. Then after the moisturizer sets in, I apply makeup.
I gave up on foundation a while ago. No matter how the cosmetic industry pushes foundation and no matter how many mature cough influencers who believe they are supermodels shill foundations to make you look younger they are over-filtered liars.
Foundation sets into wrinkles. Always. It looks cakey after a while and in natural lighting, you look scary!
I’ve narrowed it down to ( for base ). Glossier Perfecting Skin Tint, iT cosmetics CC Cream, Almay Smart Shade Skin Tone Foundation—this really is NOT a foundation. I can’t even describe it because it really “melts” into the skin. Its a great product. Cerave skin tint. And………Bobbi Brown WTFoundation. With the BB WTF, if applied with a damp blending sponge lightly, this is beautiful on mature skin—especially if skin is dry.
Other than that, I use neutral eyeshadow. Always black eyeliner and dark brow products. Lots of black mascara.
Always pink on the lips. I’m so sick and tired of the “ you-CAN-wear-red-lipstick “ movement. No. Not everyone can. My lips are naturally very pigmented and every shade except pink turns orange on me. Besides, red lipstick looks harsh on many older women. Pink is softer and flattering. My favorite oink matte is MAC’a “Snob” and I go over it wirh a clear gloss.
Sorry this is long but people don’t realize the benefits of cosmetics for older women! 💗💗💗💗
