Cream Blush
I do occasionally still use my powder blushes and bronzers, but, as my skin gets older, I just find that I need that added hydration it. It helps me out so much, whereas the powder takes hydration away from my cheeks having a cream product adds it back to my cheeks and this particular formula I like, especially because it doesnt take coverage away from what I have applied underneath now again, because Im a Little bit older, I have a lot of discoloration on my skin that I have to work very hard to strategically cover up certain areas. So I really hate when I put something too creamy or liquidy on my cheeks and it kind of pulls some of that coverage off. That does happen with some products, not all of them, but this one in particular. I almost feel like it adds coverage, but in a way thats, not too heavy its such a great shade for me, its slightly cool to where it can sculpt a little bit bit, but its not so cool that it looks ashy on my on my skin. I definitely dont need a lot of contouring because Im a little bit older, I have more narrow face and I just dont think contouring works very good for me. So I need something that brings warmth and Life to my face and I feel like this does both of those things. The formula is great. The color is great, its so easy to blend and apply.
Mascara
The mascara is one makeup product that I simply cannot live without. It adds so much definition to my lashes and truly opens up my eyes. With a good mascara, I can achieve that bold and dramatic look that I love. It helps to lengthen and volumize my lashes, giving them that extra oomph that makes all the difference. I love how this particular mascara doesn’t clump or flake throughout the day, staying put and looking fabulous from morning until night.
Liquid Eyeliner
When it comes to achieving that perfect winged eyeliner look, a good liquid eyeliner is essential. This product is my go-to for creating precise lines and sharp wings. The formula is long-lasting and smudge-proof, ensuring that my eyeliner stays put all day long. The applicator makes it easy to create thin or thick lines, giving me the flexibility to experiment with different looks. I love how bold and intense the black color is, making my eyes pop and stand out.
Highlighter
A highlighter is the perfect finishing touch to any makeup look, adding a beautiful glow to the high points of my face. This particular highlighter is my holy grail because of its incredible shine and luminosity. It gives my skin a radiant sheen that looks natural and flawless. I love to apply it to my cheekbones, brow bone, and the bridge of my nose for a lit-from-within glow. The formula is smooth and blendable, making it easy to achieve a seamless finish.

No makeup look is complete without a gorgeous lipstick to tie it all together. This lipstick is my absolute favorite because of its creamy texture and long-lasting wear.

Lip Liners
A lip liner in general would be a Holy Grail product for me again because Im getting a little bit older. I would not have said this 5 years ago, but as Ive crossed over my 40s every year, I feel, like my lips are kind of getting a little bit more lined a little bit smaller. They lose some of their life and color that they have. When I was on the younger side, so I need a lip liner thats going to last and its going to help to shape and bring life and color and plumpness back to my lips, and my very favorite lip liners right now are the about face lip liners. I have a lot that I love, but I have particularly fallen in love with these lip liners. Ive been talking a lot about them over the last year and if I had to pick one shade Id go with this one, this is the shade false alarm.
1. Lip Liner
Its just a good basic kind of Darker nude shade. I do like something lately, thats a little bit darker thats, going to give me a little bit of a shadow underneath, particularly my lower lip cuz. I feel like it just helps to plump up my lips by overlining them just a little bit in the center. This is the shade right here, its kind of like a warmer medium, pink, a rose tone, its really beautiful. You can go in with just like a light layer and kind of smudge it out to get a lighter amount of color, or you can go a little bit more heavy to get a darker color. If you want, you can top it with any lip gloss or any lipstick, and these just wear so incredibly long on me, theyre a really good formula. They kind of remind me of a formula in between, like a Mac lip pencil that are a little bit more stiff and something a little bit more creamy and long wearing, say like the Buxom lip liners or the LA girl lip liners kind of in between there. Theyre stiffer than my most creamy longwearing lip liners, which I kind of like, because you can be a little bit more precise with them, but they are absolutely budge proof they last for hours, even with a lip gloss on top of them, and I just think theyre Really easy to work with. I really love all the colors with this one in particular definite Holy Grail for me.

1. Cream Blush in Perfect Shade
So many favors. I just love this. I have this other shade soft nude, which I really like as well, but I think if I had to pick one, this is the most perfect shade and formula of a cream blush that I think I’ve ever tried. I love it so much.
2. Wet n Wild Lip Liner in Simar Brown
I did want to give one mention to a runner up. I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this in Holy Grail videos in the past and I’m sure that it won’t surprise you guys. It has to be my Wet n Wild simar Brown lip liner. I use this almost every single day and I’ve been using it almost every single day for six or seven years now.
3. Basic Baby Wing with Dark Brown Eyeliner
Just in case you stumbled upon this video and you are brand new and you’ve never heard me talk about this before, well, if you stay tuned, you’ll hear me talk about it again or see it in nearly every video that I’m actually applying makeup. It’s kind of my right hand. I’m such a fan of just a small basic baby Wing, especially with a dark brown eyeliner.
4. Face Lift Effect
I think it does so many favors for your eyes, especially if you’re getting a little bit older and everything’s just kind of starting to fall and sag. Having that little wing gives you this micro face lift that just does so many wonderful things for your eyes.
5. All-Time Favorite Products

Eye Liner: Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in Blackest Black
It doesn’t matter what shape your eyes are. Having that little kind of uplift wing right there just really helps you out whether you’re doing something more natural or something a little bit more dramatic. This is just such an easy formula, it’s nice and pigmented, but it’s not so thick and rich and gel-like that it just deposits almost too much pigment to your eyes. I just think it’s a little more user friendly. It sharpens up to a nice sharp point every time I sharpen it and, above all, the price! This thing is $9. You really just cannot beat that.
Foundation: Este Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation
This foundation is a game-changer for me. It gives me full coverage without feeling heavy on my skin. It stays in place all day and doesn’t require touch-ups. The shade range is great and it doesn’t oxidize. It’s perfect for special occasions or everyday wear.

This mascara gives me long, voluminous lashes without clumping. The wand separates each lash and coats them evenly. It’s easy to build up for a more dramatic look or keep it natural for everyday wear. Plus, it’s affordable and readily available at drugstores.
Lipstick: MAC Cosmetics Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo
Ruby Woo is the perfect red lipstick. It’s a classic shade that looks good on everyone. The matte formula is long-lasting and doesn’t dry out my lips. It’s a statement color that instantly elevates any makeup look. I always have it in my makeup bag.
Setting Spray: Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray
This setting spray is a game-changer. It keeps my makeup in place all day and night without budging. It helps control oil without making my skin feel tight or dry. It’s perfect for special occasions or everyday wear when you need your makeup to last.
