Re: Is There A Makeup Product That you Always Go Back To?

Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation.  I wear this only where I need it which is the center of the face and I apply it sparingly.  It has such a nice finish, isn't heavy and lasts all day.

Re: Is There A Makeup Product That you Always Go Back To?

L'oreal Million Lashes mascara in the gold tube.  I've tried a zillion other mascaras over the years, but always go back to Million Lashes because it doesn't smear or flake on me.  Also, I swear by L'oreal's lash primer in the white tube.  The primer adds a little umph to my lashes and makes it easier to remove the mascara at the end of the day.

 

I've used CG's AquaSmooth foundation for about 25 years.  I try other foundations, both expensive and cheap, but always go back to AquaSmooth because it gives my complexion a nice finish, it's buildable, and it doesn't get too greasy-looking.  It's a plus that it's less than $7 at the supermarket!

 

Revlon Lustrous Lipsticks.  Last hours and hours on me and moisturize my lips.

Two staples for me:

 

Reclaim Radiance Illuminating Youth Wand to soften any shadows at my eye inner corners. Alternate- Tatcha the Pearl.

 

Bye Bye Pores pressed to blur out shine. (No alternates here)

 

Honorable Mention: Tarte Architect Brow pencil

@tototwo  - next time you're ready to purchase lash primer, think about trying Essence's lash primer.  It's 5.00 and you may even like it better than L'oreal's:

Re: Is There A Makeup Product That you Always Go Back To?

I have used MAC Studio Fix powder foundation for at least 30 years.

 

I also stick to L'Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes mascara.  It's the only mascara (including high-end ones!) that doesn't give me "raccoon eyes."

 

Love, love, love Lancome Progres eye cream.  It's a decadent treat and has kept my eye wrinkles at bay for 25+ years.
