My Everyday Makeup Routine Updated

I get a lot of emails about makeup. What am I using? What is my favorite brand? So today I thought I’d share My Everyday Makeup Routine.

I don’t go crazy when a new trend comes out. New trends are great but when it comes to makeup I let younger women wear bright red and orange lip colors. I’ll stick with something a little more neutral.

I do like to mix and match different products from different brands.

I’m a huge fan of primers. Primers prep the skin prior to foundation and are important for women over 40. I have used Cover Fx anti-aging face primer for several years and I love it.

I use Bobbi Brown corrector in Bisque. This stuff covers my dark circles and I can’t live with out it (well, I could, but I don’t want to).

I recently purchased Cover Fx Contour Kit. I want to get this whole contouring the face thing down and this one is easy to use and even comes with a card to explain how to use it. (I’m using N Light color.)

I use Cover Fx matte setting powder in medium to set my foundation and minimize shine.

For my eyebrows, I will use different brown eyeshadows to fill them in (my hair stylist colors my eyebrows when she colors my hair and that helps too).

I’ve talked about the importance of filling in your eyebrows. You don’t want to draw a line and you don’t want to pluck them away. I also use Bobbi Brown Brow Shaper to finish them off.

Now for my eyes, I stick with neutral colors and I don’t use shimmer. Shimmer at my age can get stuck in the lines around my eyes. Right now I’m using a Bobbie Brown Eye Palette that’s no longer in stock. I like this one and would like to try it soon.

For my eyeliner I use Covergirl Perfect Point plus in Expresso. It’s not fancy at all but I like it. I play with a lot of different mascaras and right now I’m using They’re Real Mascara.

My favorite thing to use on my eyelashes, after applying my mascara is 3D Fiber Mascara. I use this almost everyday!

This is the picture I shared with the 3D Fiber Mascara. They make my eyes pop!

For a hint of color on my cheeks I’m using Bobbi Brown Blush in Tawny. This gives me a hint of color without over doing it.

Lips, I’m still using Maybelline ColorSensational Lipcolor in Warm Me Up.

If I feel I need a little more color on my face, I keep Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder in Medium on hand and I use it as needed.

These are the products I’m using right now. I’d love to hear about some products that you’re using! What are your favorites?

Have a blessed day!
