Cream eyeshadow tutorial. These neutral browns pair perfect with a red lip making this a great tutorial for the holidays. I used SeneGence ShadowSense in Mocha Java, Garnet, Candied Cocoa Shimmer, and Whisper Pink (all can be purchased off my SeneGence website linked in my IG and TikTok bio.) I used the SeneGence pencil liner in brown to tight-line. Then the shade MN10 from the Makeup By Mario Master Mattes the neutrals palette for my wing. I finished with Haus Labs Mascara. Lips are lined with Maybelline Lifter Liner in Main Character and filled in with the Maybelline Matte Ink in Pioneer. LTKHoliday LTKBeauty LTKOver40

5 Affordable Beauty Must Haves as a 40+ Babe With Dry Skin and everything is under $25.

Byoma Hydrating Milky Toner. This feels amazing on the skin. It hydrates and calms the skin, feels lightweight and adds a radiant finish to the skin. I use it both morning and evening right after washing my face.

COSRX Snail Mucin. I’ve been using this for over 2 years now and it’s a must have for my dry skin. It’s provides deep hydration and boosts radiance. I apply this right after my milky toner.

La Roche Posay Cicaplast Balm: This is the best when you need extra moisture! It’s helps soothe dry, irritated skin and is great for slugging. I love using this as a last step in my evening skincare routine to lock in moisture.

Versed Rich Barrier Cream: This has helped my dry skin this winter and I love the price! I use it during my morning skincare routine and it sits beautifully under my makeup. It’s has Ceramides, Squalane, Niacinamide, Glycerin, and Asenosine to hydrate and plump the skin.

Vanicream: this is the only thing I use on my body, and after washing my hands throughout the day. It’s gentle to use all over the face and body and soothes my eczema on my hands.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, makeup doesn’t have to be expensive to be good! I’ve been on a quest to find a drugstore price foundation that not only sits beautifully on dry, 40+ skin, but also one that holds up all day and doesn’t transfer. On my first try (after a lot of research) I have found a good one!

It’s the Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation.

This foundation sits beautifully on the skin, doesn’t accentuate my fine line, and blends seamlessly with my other makeup products. It has a natural luminous finish, a medium coverage that conceals my hyperpigmentation, and spf 18. I’ve tested this out for the past 7 days, wearing it on its own and mixing it with different products, and loved the results and wear each time. I high recommend this one if you’re a normal to dry babe on a budget!

I’m in the shade 125, but I think shadow 120 would be a better match for my winter skin.

#LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty #LTKFindsUnder50

I’m on a hunt to find affordable drug store foundations that sit and wear beautifully on dry and mature skin, and this Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth pasts the test! I love how it looks and wears. I’m in shade 125. Also a skin tint I’m loving is the Versed Multi-Serum Skin Tint. I wear shade 5N.

Using the Maybelline Cloudtopia Cheek & Mousses in the shade Pink Daydream. If you love multi-use products then you’ll love these! They’re highly pigmented, yet buildable, and give a cloud-like blurred finish. You can use them on your lips and cheeks, making getting ready a cinch!

Self care Sundays.

If you haven’t added a red light therapy mask to your skincare routine, I highly suggest you do as there are so many benefits! The one I’m loving is the @amiroglobal Spectra 5 in 1 LED Light Therapy Facial Mask. It uses 5 different wavelengths in 3 different modes to target the signs of aging giving you maximum benefits. Not only is it lightweight and easy to use, but the price is amazing. And I have a $90 off code 🙌

Have you see these Cloudtopia Lip & Cheek Mousses from @maybelline? If you love multi-use products then you’ll love these! They’re highly pigmented lip and cheek colors that leave a matte blurred effect, are buildable, and long wearing. They come in 10 beautiful shades, and will be a staple in my makeup bag!

Patchiness and dryness under the eyes, try these tips to get smooth under eyes. I personally love using the ROC Eye Balm to prep, the Glossier Concealer and the Saie CitySet or the D’alba spray to set.

Most worn makeup of 2025 that will be staples in 2026! Everything is linked except for the SeneGence products that can be purchased on my SeneSite: SeneGence.com/rachaelthomasbeauty

Foundations: Haus Labs in shade 220 Light Medium Warm and SeneGence MakeSense Foundation in Dewy. Both of these give a medium to full coverage, are long wearing and great on dry skin.

LYS Bronzer stick in Harmony. I love how this glides on and blends out.

The Glossier Stretch concealer is great for dry under-eyes. I use shade Light 1.

The YSL is the best powdered blush! It’s long wearing, blurring, and looks beautiful on over 40 skin. I have the shades Pink Voltage and Nude Lavalliere.

The Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Neutrals is a must-have eye palette. You can do day to night eye looks.

I’ve been loving the ELF XTNDR Mascara for lengthening and the Maybelline Bubble Mascara for volume.

The ELF Ultra Precise Brow Pencil is the best! I use shade neutral brown and the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Gel will keep your brows in place all day!

The Saie CitySet is new to me, but I’m LOVING it so far!

The best lip products! Maybelline Lifter liner (love all shades) and Lifter Gloss in Gummy Bear. The SeneGence LipSense Creams last all day and teen hydrating on the lips. I use the shade On Pointe Pink the most and also love it on my cheeks as blush!

Dare I say, I have a new favorite setting spray? If you’re thinking of trying the new @saie CitySet Setting Spray, I highly recommend that you do! It has a beautiful mist, is hydrating, and leaves a natural dewy finish. I love how lightweight it feels on the skin. It’s alcohol free and I’m super impressed with how my makeup wore and stayed in place all day. Now, will it lock in your makeup for as long as the One Size On ‘Till Dawn or the L’Oreal Infallible 3 Second Setting Mist… probably not, and I’ll save those for wedding makeup, but for everyday makeup, this will be my new go-to!

#LTKBeauty #LTKselfcare #LTKOver40

Trying out Patrick Ta’s new lip balm. I’m using the shade Cookie Butter. I love the slight sweet scent, and this feels so nice on the lips. It’s a little thinner than Summer Fridays but still feels hydrating. I lined my lips with the Maybelline Lifer gloss in Big Lift.
