What’s in my bag 🤎

Breaking in my new Quince bag and these are the things that are pretty much always coming with me—wallet, SPF setting powder, lip liner, gloss and all of the other little things I somehow can’t leave the house without.

Nothing groundbreaking, just the everyday essentials I actually use.

What’s the one thing you ALWAYS have in your bag?

If you are struggling with makeup over 40, this blush hack is a gamer changer!

If you are a woman over 40 with dry and mature skin, cream blush is your best friend! It melts into our skin going you a lovely natural flush and is so flattering.

Powder blush can sit on top of your skin and can make emphasize dry skin and make it look flat!

My top tip for applying blush is to remember what I call the 3 finger rule!
Place 3 fingers next to your nose and do not apply any blush there.

Apply blush in an upward motion and blend out! Do you see how it visually lifts your entire face? Such an easy tip!

Give it a try and let me know how it goes ❤️

#AD If your makeup bag needs a little refresh for fall but you’re trying to stick to a budget, this is exactly where I’d spend about $100 at Target. 🍂

These are the products I’d replace first because they’re the ones I reach for every day—from a primer that helps my makeup stay put to a foundation, mascara, lip liner, and lipstick that create an easy, polished look.

What’s the first makeup product you replace each fall?

My morning skincare routine as a 52-year-old makeup artist with dry, sensitive, rosacea-prone skin ✨

At this age, I’m not trying to use ALL the things. My goal is to keep my skin calm, hydrated, glowy and prepped for makeup—without irritating it.

A few things I’ve learned along the way: gentle is better, hydration is everything, and SPF is non-negotiable. And when my skin is happy, my makeup looks SO much better. 🤍

Save this if your skin is dry, sensitive or just needs a little extra love after 40.

Making the most of the last weekend in August ☀️🤍 A little trip to Tilghman Island, my favorite new pants, Target finds on a rainy day, and the foot products I swear by for baby-soft feet.

Just soaking up these last little bits of summer before I fully give in to fall. 🍂✨

Pack my travel makeup bag with me ✈️💄

Here’s my best travel makeup tip: I keep this bag packed at all times and completely separate from my everyday makeup. That way, I’m ready to go at a moment’s notice—no scrambling and no forgetting my favorites.

The bag itself is washable 🙌 and inside is a mix of minis + tried-and-true makeup favorites I know work on my mature skin. I even keep brushes simple with one double-ended brush.

Everything I need. Nothing I don’t.

Because at 52, I’ve finally learned that packing smarter is SO much better than packing more. 🤍

Save this for your next trip!

My current everyday glow duo.

If you like makeup that enhances your skin instead of covering it up, these two are worth trying.

The Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Concealer is lightweight, hydrating, and gives beautiful brightening without feeling heavy or cakey. Paired with the new Dolci Blush, it gives the prettiest healthy flush with an easy cream-to-powder finish that blends effortlessly.

I’ve been wearing this combination constantly because it looks polished while still feeling natural.

Everything is linked from Sephora.
