Repeat Makeup Favorites - mid 30s

I’m not one to buy a ton of makeup every month. I like to find products that really pull their weight and last long enough to be worthwhile. Sometimes I invest in products that are nice, but take a lot of application to build up and don’t seem worth the price tag. Other times, I’m sent makeup to try and find that I like it but don’t love it. And sometimes, I find products that really fit my face and my style. Those are the ones I’m happy to buy again and again.

As a mom, I know that the value of makeup isn’t just on the surface. Having that feeling of confidence and energy that follows is everything! Even if you’re only at home, getting dressed and feeling put together goes a long way. Now is a great time to experiment with new makeup styles and even better when those are on sale!

Here’s a rundown of the products I’m currently using and repeating.You can also view the IGTV video here.

Foundation

I found this newish line (new to me, anyway) a few months back and have now rebought it once. Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty has a wonderful Pro Filt’r Hydrating Longwear Foundation that has amazing coverage, but doesn’t feel heavy or look thick. For photoshoots or special occasions, I still love Estee Lauder foundation, but this one is my current favorite for a lighter feel with good coverage.

Concealer

Tarte Shape Tape is one of those concealers that everyone talks about and you wonder, does it really stand up to the hype? For me, it does. I favor a lighter application and am careful not to choose a shade too pale for my face. Let’s just say the white eye mask it not my favorite look! Currently on sale half price here for only $13.50! I’m using Light Medium Honey right now but may go a shade darker when I get a little more sun.

Blush

Love this Marc Jacobs blush. It’s a natural and rosy tone that blends in well. I’ve used this off and on for almost 4 years! The shade I use is Kinks and Kisses.

Eyeshadow

Lately, I’ve been loving the hint of shimmer that the Pixi Reflex Light palette brings. I have hooded eyes and am in my mid-30s, so aging eyes benefit from a hint of it, but I’m careful not to overdo. Shimmer can draw attention to the wrong features or add texture you don’t want. I use a wet shadow brush to apply so it locks in place and only place it on the lower third of my eyelid and the inner third of my bottom lash line.

Brow Pencil

My eyebrows are light and thin, so with a round face and dark hair, I like the balance that strong brows give me. I’ve used a ton of pencils. brow powders and gels, but keep coming back to Anastasia Brow Wiz. I’ve used the Brow Definer too, but the skinny pencil of the Brow Wiz is my favorite. The strokes look like hair and I use either Chocolate or Dark Brown depending on whether I have balayage or not.

Eye Liner

The cat eye is my go-to liner style, but I have to be careful because my eyes tend to water and mess up the pretty work with no warning. I love the Stila pen and Kat Von D tattoo liner, though right now my most used pen is the NYX Super Fat Eye Marker. It’s thick but still makes a thin line and stays so well. And at $10, it’s definitely a good re-buy!

Mascara

When the temperature and humidity go up, I typically switch to a waterproof mascara. Otherwise, just walking outside can mean raccoon eyes for me. The fabulous DiorShow Iconic Waterproof Mascara is so good and gives my naturally short lashes a chance.

5 things I’m reading, watching or listening to t 5 things I’m reading, watching or listening to this week

(Side note: this might seem like a lot, but let me explain. When I have a ton of design work and editing, I tend to go overboard consuming media as I work. It’s like having a comfort show playing, but I prefer not to repeat much.)

- The Last Thing He Told Me on AppleTV with Jennifer Garner (loved the book and so far enjoying the adaptation - suspenseful and interesting) 

- Happy Place by Emily Henry (a cute beach read about a couple dragging out the end of their relationship so they don’t have to tell their friend group they’ve called off their engagement)

- Smartless Podcast recent-ish episodes with Eugene Levy, Tracee Ellis Ross and John Krasinski (the banter of the hosts Will Arnett, Sean Hayes and Jason Bateman is always gold)

- The Night Agent on Netflix (a political thriller series about a cute FBI agent working the night desk trying to save the nation as he works to uncover a government mole and a killer).

- Queen Charlotte on Netflix (a Bridgerton prequel sharing more of young Charlotte’s start as a royal with plenty of opulence to admire and a soundtrack to hum all day)

Any recommendations for when I reach the end of this current list?

TGIF. A few things about me: Fridays are fabulous TGIF. A few things about me:

Fridays are fabulous. 

I love a perfectly punctuated sentence. 

I can appreciate a spontaneous adventure and may or may not decide one morning to drive 6 hours and book Taylor Swift tickets 2 hours before showtime.

I tend to develop a pretty addictive bubble gum habit when my to-do list gets long.

I love a good piña colada - poolside or beachfront preferable.

I have a dress for any occasion and once went about a year without wearing jeans or pants (dresses only).

I'm probably running late for something as I’m typing this.
