Hi y’all! WHEW! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? It feels good to be back.
A couple of weeks ago I did an IGTV video on all of my beauty faves and y’all loved it.
YOU CAN FIND THAT RESOURCE HERE.
I also got lots and lots of questions. So I thought it would be fun to do a blog compilation so that all of the resources are in one spot.
Disclaimer: This is what works for ME. I am not a beauty guru or a makeup artist or a dermatologist or an esthetician. These are just things I LOVE. Note: I have normal/sometimes sensitive skin. I can’t speak to other types of skin.
Beauty/Skincare Gurus I Follow:
THIS is how I have learned almost everything I know. 20 years ago I was reading Kevyn Aucoin articles, watching interviews, and reading his message boards. Now it’s YouTube and IG tutorials guiding the way.
These are YouTube gurus that I especially appreciate because they are either close to my age OR speak to women close to my age. Those 20 something makeup experts are lovely but that full-coverage look just doesn’t work for my 42 year old skin.
YouTube:
Lisa Eldridge – ALL HAIL THE QUEEN! I’ve learned how to do 99 percent of my makeup looks thanks to Lisa.
Gothamista – skincare based.
Mixed Makeup – skincare based

A Good Scrub for the shower
Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Glow Face Self-Tanner Towelettes
Jergens Natural Glow Face Moisturizer
Jergen’s Natural Glow Body Mousse- I use Deep Bronze
Kabuki Brush – I use this to apply tanner on my hands and feet

NUMBER ONE FAVORITE – Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter. Mix this with a tinted moisturizer for a beautiful glow. I have this in two shades. Fair and Light/Medium (for when I self tan):
Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer
Glossier Cloud Paint // Flower Beauty Blush Bombs are an AWESOME dupe
Maybelline Master Chrome Highlighter (rose gold specifically)
Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze + Glow
So there you go! A very basic primer to what makes me G L O W!
Hope you found it helpful. Have a beautiful day!
