The amount of times people have asked what I’m doing to my skin and it’s simply the SPF I have used for years!! linked below and don’t buy it from Amazon...

everything i use when i wear makeup + my favorite shampoo / conditioner for fine hair

insanely flattering dress & it has pockets 👒

#LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal

y’all i’m getting close to 40 and i can honestly say my skin has never felt healthier. one of the biggest changes for me came with finding the right moisturizer. found this dream cream during pregnancy when my skin was going haywire and i need something natural, and with zero inflammation / clogging potential.

have used it ever since. helps makeup go on so smoothly too!!

#LTKbeauty #LTKover40 #LTKfindsunder100

the most laid back & fun casual jumpsuit for summer and in such a good green. best for 5’6” height and under. size down 2 sizes or do like me and get 1 size down + get it altered if you want to go without an under shirt (worth it!!)

#LTKfindsunder100 #LTKstyletip

NO MAKEUP MAKEUP !!

i don’t know much in the makeup world but i know i LOVE a natural looking makeup situation

TIPS:
- for mature skin / any fine lines or wrinkles, do NOT set those areas with powder. use a moisturizing foundation or cc cream, tinted spf or all 3. just no powder on where you have wrinkles or it will highlight them

- i only use my foundation stick on areas i have discoloration or want heavier coverage. for “more” makeup days/nighttime i use an all over foundation (also linked)

- i mix and match foundation colors usually, depending on the season and tan etc. so i have at least 2 colors generally of any foundation or concealer (also personally i’ve had trouble getting “matched” by people; except by my gal Dre, so i’ve taken matters into my own hands 🙈)

NOTE: a “perfect” nude for one gal is NOT a perfect nude for another. find your skin tone/whether you’re warm or cool and get a color that compliments that. for example, i am warm/neutral. my veins are both green and blue so i stay mostly warm but can also do a little ash / cool tone depending on if i’m tan or not.

don’t just buy a color or shade that an influencer says she uses…unless you know y’all have the same coloring!! 😌 everything i linked has multiple coloring options

As a toddler boy mom, putting together outfits that are comfy and put together can be an especially difficult task….one most of us literally do not have time for.

I’m sharing some solid everyday looks, for playdates, target runs and meetups with mamas. I would have worn these any day before motherhood too.

Wearing XS in both sets (long sleeve set, I could also have done a small. I rolled my pants band on that set because it’s more comfy like that personally)

All tops I’m wearing a small

26 in denim (these are very flattering in person)

this one’s for my girliest gals! size UP! i’m wearing a medium 🫶🏼 please report back to me on how good it feels on 🦙

#LTKsalealert #LTKfindsunder100 #LTKVideo

staying warm and casual over here. love that this top can be dressed up or down.

i sized up one size for a more oversized / less cropped look. they are sold out everywhere on line in this color way but i linked the exact top in another beautiful color!

#LTKstyletip #LTKworkwear

I feel like every gal knows comfy leggings are a MUST & these really just check all the boxes

Top is a Lululemon dupe - i sized up and am glad I did!! love it

Full coverage no makeup makeup!!

First i apply tinted sunscreen with my fingers

then my liquid foundation + damp beauty blender all over

for any areas i need extra coverage, usually for melasma or just discoloration, i use the stick and blend with my blender

if you have mature skin ONLY powder your cheeks, chin, jawline, leave your forehead, eyes, alone so they don’t crease!

looks as close to real skin as i can get

my colors (i’m an autumn, more on the warm side) :

sunscreen : buff
Nars foundation : patagonia
Huda stick : latte or sometimes macaroon (i like to mix as well)
Pressed powder (lasts for YEARS for me) C4
