I recommend following one of the more mature YouTube beauty content creators like Angie from Hot & Flashy. There are many others as well, some of them in their 60’s & up. I am in my mid-50’s but I’ve found SO many great tips and MU recommendations via these channels.

Here are a couple of my favorites

• Flower beauty serum concealer
• Maybelline superstay powder foundation (not very matte but it does add some coverage and looks natural, not powdery)
• The brand new revlon skin tint (in a tiny tube) has quickly become my favorite everyday foundation. It has a skin-like finish, adds some coverage but is still a bit sheer and natural looking.

Maybe, but you’re supposed to use 1/4 tsp of sunscreen, which sounds tiny but in practice is a huge dollop.

Thank you! I think I’ll just try to look for foundations that aren’t “silicone free”. I’m not sure why this one pills so bad but it does seem to be reacting to something.

I guess I’m confusing silicone with dimethicone? I thought all the ingredients with “cone” in them were different kinds of silicone?

I recommend following a beauty content creator on you tube, particularly one with a similar complexion & skin type as you. (I watch Jen Phelps as well as a few others). You will find no end of recommendations for foundation.

Thank you! I’ll check it out.

I wash eyeshadow brushes & foundation brushes after every use, as well as anything I dip into a cream product like concealer. Generally I just put the used brushes into a container and wash them once I’m out of clean brushes, which usually happens about once a week. Blush, powder and bronzer I re-use until the other brushes are ready to be washed.

At 54 I love winged eyeliner but my (always) somewhat hooded eyes are now more hooded and they fold over on the sides so winged eyeliner no longer works. At all. Worst thing is I was really good at getting a nice clean line.

Years and years ago Neutrogena sold a lipstick with SPF. Great color range! I seem to recall the tubes were clear plastic. I haven’t been able to find lipstick with SPF since. Wish the (or any company for that matter) would come out with a similar line.

I also really miss the bite lipsticks. I got all the colors I wanted before the company folded, but I love that formula!
