Sunscreen, and lots of it! I like to think I look at least 5 years younger than I actually am, thanks to sunscreen. And more sunscreen.
My Routine:
Straight to business. for an oily girl, I use a lot of moisturizers - body lotion, face cream, eye cream, hand lotion, cuticle cream...Then I put on primer, maybe a color corrector, then my foundation using a fluffy kabuki brush. I always wear tons of blush, eyeliner, and as much mascara as I can load on without getting clumped lashes. I use either Avon Glazewear lipgloss, or Eyeko Fat Balm for work or school, and a vampy red from MAC for more special occasions.
I loved the old Everyday Minerals products, and I'm glad I stocked up. The company is going through some changes, and not for the better. I'll just use up what I have and then move on to another mineral makeup company for my foundation, maybe Silk Naturals or Adorned with Grace.
I've been using these since college when I didn't know anything about make-up, but I knew I needed eyeliner! Glimmersticks are soft and smooth and can be applied without tugging or pulling.My HG is Cosmic Brown, and I use Saturn Grey a lot too. I'm terribly bitter that Majestic Plum has been discontinued, but I'll get over it.I use a lot of mineral makeup these days and I experiment with wet-lining my minerals, but when I want a classic look, I use my Glimmersticks.
Mentholatum has been used as an overnight lip balm by generations of the King Taco family (sexy!!), so Soft Lips was a dream come true for me. It's good-smelling and -tasting Mentholatum, with SPF! It's not in a green goopy jar, so I have no embarrassment whipping it out and putting it on in public. I've got one in every purse and pocket.
