I'm typically a fan of liquid or cream foundations since my skin has really changed over the past few years. I need the extra moisture that liquid foundations or skin tints provide but I do love the ease of a foundation stick. I have heard amazing things about the Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Stick Foundation so I decided to order one to test. Stick foundations often provide more coverage and can be creamy though not as moisturizing as liquid formulations. They are quick and easy to apply and many are quite long wearing.

After I turned 40, I really began to notice a change in my skin. It became drier, duller, more textured, etc and my makeup was not looking the same anymore. Products that had worked for my skin in the past, no longer looked the same. I’ve slowly been trying different products over the past few years and now at 45, I have a great selection of products that I love. I thought I would compile a list of all the formulas that I love and know work really well on mature skin. This is my roundup of mature-friendly drugstore makeup

As someone who wears sunscreen every single day whether I plan to leave the house or not, finding a formula that provides protection and works beautifully under makeup is key. The RMS Beauty SuperNatural Radiance Serum SPF 30 was actually a recommendation from one of my readers who mentioned that she had tried this and immediately fell in love with it. I had seen it while I was scrolling Nordstrom and it caught my eye. But even though I now have more normal to dry skin, my past oily skin self still gets nervous about the words "radiant" and "glowy".

This past year I have made a concentrated effort to try more Korean beauty because I have heard so many amazing things. The whole Korean beauty industry can be daunting and overwhelming but I started first by writing down specific products people recommended. Then I began to see the same products recommended over and over so I started with those since they seemed to be popular for a reason. One of those products was the Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA 50ml. I've tried BB creams in the past and at one point they were super popular

I've been a lover of Colleen Rothschild skincare for nearly 10 years! I first discovered her brand when I was early in my blogging career and fell in love with so many of her products. Almost everything I have tried always works so well for my skin. So I was so excited to try her newest launch which is a skincare/makeup hybrid - the Hydrashine Lipstick Balms. Honestly, I probably have way too many tinted lip balms and lip products in general, but since this is my job it is my duty to try as many as I can. LOL

Though I love my skincare routine and am happy with all the products I am using, I love to try new things and am always asking my audience for recommendations. That's one of the best parts of this job is the ease that I can ask for suggestions and recommendations for any and everything! Some of my favorite products (beauty, fashion, home, etc) have been recommended to me by followers and readers of my blog and social media. It's the best! I decided to ask another question on my Tiktok (and Instagram but Tiktok blew up FAST so I am
