 So, you guys seen Mel Thompson and Samantha, I always say her name wrong, Randval, something like that. Have you seen her do the time-tested products video? I thought that was so good and I actually did have a couple of you requests that I do that for Mature Woman. And it's funny because as I was going through it, I thought, you know what? How long are we talking about? And then when I watched Mel Thompson's video, she was talking about it just being over a year. I have a lot of products that I've had for about a year and that I use over and over again and reach for over and over again. But a lot of these products that I'm going to talk to you about today are even more time-tested than that. I mean, I'm talking like going back three, four, five years. So I don't know the exact time, but I know that I've had every single one of these more than a year and I wanted to show you what my time-tested products are, what I reach for almost every time I do my makeup or I reach for over and over again. So let's get into my top time-tested products for the Mature Woman. So I'm not going in any particular order. You guys know that I don't normally do that. But my first product is the MAC Fix Plus Prep and Prime. This product has been with me for, gosh, eight years maybe. I don't know. It's been since it came out because I remember this is my first MAC product I ever got and I remember using it for so many things. Now what I use it for more than anything is to refresh during the day. I will use it if my skin feels super dry because it does have hydrating properties in it. I will use it if my skin is feeling like my makeup needs a rejuvenation and I will use it to put on my beauty sponge every single time before I apply my foundation because it does really help smooth out my foundation and it does really help my foundation look more dewy or through the day. So this is my number one product and along with the sprays is from Flower Beauty and this is the Seal the Deal Illuminating Setting Spray and it does make my makeup last longer and it does give a very dewy finish instead of some of those sprays that have so much alcohol in them that they really kind of mat me down and I can't have that because my skin is so dry. So I really love this one and have repurchased this one. I don't know, this is probably like my sixth bottle, seventh bottle, something like that. It is harder to find now but you can find it on Amazon and you can find it on Walmart.com and of course on their website. Now another product that I repurchased, this is my second one, is the Elf Contour Palette. I'm not a huge fan of the bronzing palette but oh my goodness you guys, I love this contouring palette. Number one, the packaging is great on it. You have the solid plastic packaging. It has a really nice mirror inside of there that I'm not going to kind of blind you with but the other thing I love is that the actual product in here is fantastic. This contour shade right here is a little bit more on the cool tone side that it can go for just about any woman's coloring and be able to do the contouring. And I find myself as I get more tan reaching for this one because it does have a little bit more of the warmth to it so it does a little bit better on the contouring. And all the products in here, this one is a little bit of a highlight. This one is a little bit of a banana powder and then of course a bronzing powder. All of these products in here, their creaminess is so good. Elf just did such a great job when they started coming out with these face palettes. The other wonderful thing about these face palettes is these palettes can be popped out, these little sections right here. So if you have one of their, whoops, I blinded you anyway, didn't I? If you have one of their blush palettes, you have an illuminating palette, anything like that, you can pop these little things out, customize your palette. You could put a blush in here. You could put a bronzing color that you like better in here, whatever you wanted to. And you can customize your own little four quad palette and then throw that in your purse and have everything that you need. So I love that Elf did that and this is a palette that I reach for over and over again. One of the reasons that I struggled just a little bit as to trying to find products that I had reached for over and over again is the drugstore, they turn things over. They get something really good and then they have a tendency to discontinue it, which drives me crazy. But the Physicians Formula Healthy Foundation is one that I have had for since it came out. I think it was mid-2018 or early-2018 and this is my second bottle and I'm about a third of the way down on the bottle. Now, I really love this foundation, but I really do think that they are discontinuing it. I know that you can still find it, some of them, some of the colors on sale on the Physicians Formula website. I found it on Amazon and I have found it on Walmart.com. But this foundation for me is just the perfect foundation for my dry, mature skin because I find that it doesn't dry me out more when it sets down or if I have to set it with a powder, it still looks beautiful. And I am wearing it today and it just always makes my skin look more radiant, more finished, more, you know, that it doesn't show off any texture. It just is a great foundation. My other foundation is, of course, so many people's favorite foundation and it is the It Cosmetics Your Skin but Better CC Anti-Aging Pourless Finish Full Coverage Cream. This one is the matte one and it has a SPF of 40. The other one that is the regular one, which is the one that I actually prefer to this one has a 50 SPF and I like this one and it doesn't feel super matte on me at all. But I do like the original formula just a little bit better. I think because I do have dry skin, this one works all the time for me unless it's super, super dry in the winter. I don't reach for this one but any other time of the year I am just fine with this and I love this stuff. So this is one of those cult favorites that just about any woman can wear but I find for the mature woman, this is one that will perfect your skin. It will cover all of your, your blemishes, your dark spots, all that kind of stuff, still have you looking like skin and not looking like cakey makeup. So I really love that one. The Milani Prep Set in Glow, this is my second one of these. I did do a pressed powder video very recently or my favorite powders at the drugstore. This one didn't make it in because it is a glow powder even though, you know, I use this now right now during the winter months as my regular setting powder. It just is, it feels so luxurious. This is a powder that will never make me feel cakey even if I use a sponge to dab it across my face. It's still not going to look cakey. It's not going to make me feel like I'm cakey or dried out and I absolutely love this powder. This is my second one that I've used at one time. This wasn't on the Milani Cosmetics website and I was in a panic because I thought, why do they do this? Why do they get rid of the very best stuff? But it's back. It's there. It's still being sold. So I wanted to mention that as a fantastic powder for anybody that has aging skin. It just gives the softest of glow and it just sets your makeup in such a beautiful way, especially if you are somebody that is oily or combination skin. You're going to find that you really love setting your makeup with this because it doesn't make you dry out even more long time ago. I'm talking a long time ago wet and wild release these two reflect shimmer palettes and this is all have a Cosmo. I talk about this all the time you guys I am wearing it today as my highlighter and I talk about these so much. There's boozy branch and then there's this one and you can still get these on the website. But this is one you don't when you dip your finger in here since it is a big product you feel like well it's pretty dry but on the skin you guys that does not emphasize any texture on me and look at how pretty that glow is and it is just like glass across the skin. It just makes the skin just look so pretty. I always just hit the high points of my cheeks with it and I'm wearing it on my inner corner, but it's a huge pan that you would have forever to go through. I actually didn't hit pan on my first one and then I went and bought another one because you know we're always afraid of you know keeping our makeup too long. I think I had my original one for like five years so this one I think I've had for a year and a half but I go back to this over and over again because it's just a fantastic highlighter never ever shows any texture on my mature skin and it's one that I will reach for over and over again. This one is one that is semi-nure to me so I would say that I have been buying this for a year and a half maybe maybe close to two years but this is from the Sephora collection and this is the contour contour color and this is in second chance and you can see I've hit pan on it I'm due for a new one. I love this stuff. This is the perfect cool color to do any contouring you want to do so if you need to carve out cheekbones you need to get rid of gels you need to hide a double chin. I'm going to link my video right up here on my contouring about you know a round face or a fat face and doing all of that contouring high forehead anything like that all that contouring that will help recede those parts that you want to recede and that is such a good powder to do that it blends so well and it hits all of those high points that I need to hide my imperfections like having a five finger forehead all of those things that you need to do and it lasts a really long time even even though I have hit pan on this this is my first one and like I said I think I've had it about a year and a half love this stuff now as I was thinking about blushes that I had I had to mention the Clinique cheek pops I think these came out in 2015 I think I've had mine since 2016 yeah that's way too long but it's a powder product and nothing's wrong with it still and I am about to hit pan on it so this one is in Heather Pop and I absolutely love this color because it goes with just about any look I put on my eyes unless it's a super duper warm look and you can see right there how pretty it is this these can be built up because you can see you can build it up to the color that's in the pan if you want to but they are just so blendable and so creamy and I have never found that I have any problems with them I have three or four colors in it and I just think that they're just exceptional blushes but particularly Heather Pop I reach for all the time because it just suits me in any look that I'm going for and I am wearing wearing Heather Pop on my cheeks today love Clinique cheek pops they're just next level pretty and then also the color pops super shock shadows not shadows their blush I've talked about this over and over again it's a cream to powder formula and yes I have hit pan on this one I find that this is so good on my mature skin because it's creamy enough for me to be able to work with without getting any texture on my skin and if you have dry skin like I do you will really find that using a cream product especially this one where it goes on cream so it's going to hug your cheeks it's going to be there all day long and then it turns to just this set down pretty powder and even though it doesn't feel powdery after it sets down you've got it there it stays you have a blush that is just gorgeous so if you have a certain color this one is called between the sheets it's my favorite and again this is my second one that I've bought and color pop is absolutely notorious for discontinuing things so this is one that I would be really upset if they discontinued because I absolutely love between the sheets all right you guys know I'm all about the drugstore but there are some high-end products that I feel like yes they're worth the money and one of them is our glass ambient lighting powders the blushes are okay they're not blushes that I would feel like I had to run out and get there okay and the highlight is okay I like the bronzer a lot I use the bronzer a lot just because this is a very subdued tone for me and it's light enough and area enough that I can really blend it out well but the ambient lighting powders and I just went through another small one of those but these two right here I'll swirl them together and just hit all over the high points of my face as finishing powders and they do something to make your skin look incandescent almost just a glow just a beautiful soft luminous look to it and I do like and I do have it in here the essence pure nude highlighter that I use for the same effect this is a good highlighter for somebody that really doesn't want to have a highlighter they just want to have a little bit of light to a certain area and even though this is one I reach for and it is in here for a reason because it's one that you just honestly you can take your brush swirl it in here hit every single part of your face even go across your eyes after you've done your eyeshadow and this gives the most beautiful radiant look to your face but that's what the ambient powders do to that's why I put both of these in here because I reach for both of them I feel like the the hourglass powders can go underneath my eyes in the summertime when I sweat and everything creases and they never ever look cakey this one I can if it's not super humid outside but when it's humid these can go underneath my eyes and they set my under eye makeup so well even though I don't normally do that but yes the ambient lighting powders for a mature woman and if she wants her skin to glow she wants her skin to have that dewy fresh look and it's definitely going to be powders that are really really good for mature skin another thing that I learned about about three years ago so I've had this for about three years this is the Lancome absolute finishing absolute finishing powder and this is absolute golden and absolute golden I'm not saying that right it is not a gold color it is a pinky peach color and it's a finishing powder because it has quite a bit of color in it so when you dust this across your cheeks or when you dust it across wherever it's going to give you a luminosity and it can be I've put a lot on there that's a lot but I wanted to show you the color of it so it does give just a tiny bit of sheen while still finishing your makeup so it's not a finishing powder that I will go in and use to set any areas like around my nose or my chin but it is a finishing powder that gives you just a beautiful finished look and again I've talked about that a lot with a lot of these powders when you're a mature woman you're looking for that subtle glow you're not looking for shine you're not looking for matte you're looking for that sweet spot that makes you look a little bit longer younger because your skin's glowing and so that's what these powders that I've discussed today really do and this one is fantastic I know it's a little bit on the price of your side but this is for me is one that I would repurchase over again but I haven't had to because that tub is so huge so love that one all right so these little babies right here I love these little singles they're the infallible eyeshadows from L'Oreal these came out quite a few years ago I don't know how many years ago but quite a few years ago and I have three that I absolutely love this one is called Golden Sage this one is the perfect shadow to go on your lid if you wondering about green shadows and it just is one that when I first got it I was like holy smoke look at how pigmented I'm barely swiping across my hand look at the glow and the reflect off of that you put that on your eyelid and you're going to be like wow something stunning on your eyelid for sure so that is Golden Sage and I love it and these don't seem to show a lot of texture even though I do have a little bit of crepiness across my eyelids they don't seem to show texture at all and then this one right here is called liquid diamond and it is the silver color and I'll show that one to you too and I reach for this one as well almost as much as the Golden Sage I just think it's so pretty and they both have this quality of being color but not being bright bold color so they're going to have that reflect in there and they're going to have as you look around and as you close your eyes a little bit they're going to you're going to be able to see that that color is there but it's not going to be such a bold color that people are going cash or eyeshadow so I think that if you haven't tried these before see if you can get them I know that they are some of them are still in right aids and I think CVS is also you can get them on walmart.com and obviously you can get them on Amazon still so love these I think they're so good you can't get them in Walgreens I do know that Walgreens doesn't carry these anymore so I really do love those I have three gel eyeliners actually I don't know if the Urban Decay 24 7 is a gel eyeliner it actually just says that it's waterproof long lasting and glide on so this one is in the color vice and vice for me is the perfect purple color ever it just it goes on so well it stays on I can't put it in a water waterline and have it stay there all day there's only one product that I've had so far that can do that but if you if you like color you want to put in your waterline you have to touch up that's really kind of the way it is it's going to you know our waterline constantly gets blinked on and get you know the water in there just kind of takes away the eyeliner there's not much we can do so that is the 24 7 vice liners from Urban Decay this one is from Milani this is the stay put that one is in Cobalt and this one are it's also called waterproof stay put liner loved that one these all have the same exact consistency so you know they once they dry down they all do the same thing they stay where they're put this is the Mark Jacobs gel highlighter all three of these are eyeliners that I have reached for over and over again that is in black or Cobalt and vice so I'll make sure I list all of those probably up here and down below for you to but I wanted to show you all three of these because I wear an eyeliner every day I wear eyeliner every day in my waterline I usually pick a color to go in my waterline or like today I just did a brown because I was wearing a little bit more color on my lids but love these and I love that each of them is waterproof I love that they glide on my mature eyes so so easily but love every one of these for their quality of never tugging on my eyes and being super blendable so I can put them on and use them and smudge them way out so that they're not going to transfer at all they're not going to bleed down on my eyes love every one of those years ago about four years ago five years ago almost five when I first started my YouTube channel there were certain lipsticks that I got into and I was like okay these are really good the first one is not a lipstick it's a lip gloss and it's from Anastasia Beverly Hills but it is a lipstick for me because it is such a glossy opaque formula and I love this and I'm going to apply just a little bit of this right now because I can tell my lips are getting a little bit dry and so I'll show you what this is so there it is this is in the color lilac I think I want to say it's lilac or dusk or dusky lilac or something like that and yeah I always forget what the colors are but look at how pretty and opaque that is isn't that amazing and how beautiful that is I like it because it is one of my very favorite spring colors it just makes me feel like spring and summer is here and I usually put it away for the winter and then as soon as spring hits I pull this out and I love this and I have had this is my second tube but I always go back to it so this is one that doesn't bleed because it's thick enough but not goopy thick it's one of those ones that just is that right middle spot where it's not going to bleed on me and I love that about it and then I also have two favorite Maybelline lipsticks and this one is called warm me up I am running out of hands so we're going to have to go over here this one is called warm me up so many of you have said that you love that it is the perfect neutral pink I love this color Maybelline lipsticks work on my mature lips they don't bleed on me normally I do you know apply blot and then apply a little bit more but that one is called warm me up and then this one is on the mob and I know that mob lipsticks aren't something that everybody likes to wear but boy this is my winter color that I go to as a neutral color it just is one of those ones that I have found that I love wearing with so many looks and it was those two are my first two that I ever got from Maybelline and I'm still wearing them years and years later so I wanted to definitely share those with you and then also the NYX butter glosses those all came out about the same time my channel was starting up and these are the same thing they are such a good gloss as far as having a bit of color that one is crème brûlée and it's really light they have a bit of color but they don't have so much color that you can't put them over top of other lipsticks this one is tiramisu which is one of my favorites excuse my shaking hands as usual and then this third one is called meringue and you want to talk perfect pink color in the spring there it is I do terrible swatches you guys I do awful with my swatches but these glosses they're like $5 a tube you can get them even cheaper on Amazon which is where I will be linking all of these from and I absolutely love them I just think that their glosses that stay a long time they go with just about anything I have a lot more colors than this but these are my three favorites that originally came out and I'm back to them and I absolutely love them and I just think that their glasses you can't go wrong with they're not ones that are going to make you feel like you got a sticky gloss on or a heavy gloss but they're going to last you a good long while now a gloss usually lasts what an hour or two but you know if you drink or you eat obviously it's not going to last that long but they do last a long time on me I don't mind reapplying glosses because I am a gloss girl I'd rather have my lips hydrated than have a mat on there so I really love that one and I did say that was the last thing but this is really the last thing these are my favorite favorite lip liners and this comes from Sephora collection and these are the gel Rouge or Rouge gel lip liners that one is rum raisin right there and rum raisin I reach for all the time the next one is Wild at Heart and this one is kind of along the same lines as on the mauve it's kind of like a mauve berry color but very deep and dusty and I love that and then this is the original one that I got in its belle flower and that is your perfect mauve color and I wear these a lot as my lipstick so I will fill in my lips with them and then blot and then I'll fill in my lips again and these are so so good creamy buttery doesn't bleed because it is along the lines of being more of a crayon and so for my mature lips when I want something to be super outstanding super creamy blendable all the good things you can put other lipsticks on top of them you can put lip gloss in the middle if you want to all those good things it is just one of those ones that I absolutely love so I made a mess on my arms I hope you guys enjoyed seeing my time tested favorites these are things that I go back to I reach for over and over again and I absolutely love them I know that this is something that you guys probably have to in your makeup collection you have things that
