Putting on My Face

The Skin Care Products I Currently Use

Hi Jean,

I've read some of your makeup reviews and application tips. Can you tell us exactly which products you personally use? And why?

I'm curious to know if the expert follows her own advice! LOL.

I love to experiment with makeup (after all it's part of my job), so what I use changes often - except for a few favorites.

I always have two different palettes in my cosmetic tray: one in pink tones and one in browns. I alternate depending on the clothes I am wearing for the day.

As to whether I follow my own advice - I was surprised in reviewing my current list that the answer is yes and no. I've done rave reviews for #1 and #9.

I actually thought I had reviewed #3. Oops - senior moment.

The other seven makeup products I use daily haven't even been mentioned on Ageless Beauty. I feel some new makeup reviews coming on! LOL.

Erin, thanks for a thought-provoking question.

Right now, this is what I use to "put on my face" each day.

• 1. Estee Lauder Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Makeup - Shade 2C.
• 2. Avon Cover All stick - Medium for any areas that need extra coverage and White for the inner corner of my eyes.
• 3. Maybelline Shadow Stylist powder shadow - Vintage Champagne or Elegant Pearl.
• 4. Brown eyebrow pencil - sorry I don't know the brand because it's a (very old) refillable pencil that I just love and the name has worn off. When I run out of refills, I guess I'm gonna be forced to switch!
• 5. Nat Robbins Colorfrost Lip liners - either Mahogany or Pink Gold. These are pretty old too and are down to stubs. Sure hope I can find them again.
• 6. Arbonne Eye Liner in Mermaid (not quite navy but a deep blue).
• 7. Avon Daring Curves Mascara black. I'm always looking for more oomph for my lashes, so I've tried many of the two-part mascaras and even gave Maybelline Great Lash another whirl after many years away. But I keep coming back to Daring Curves. It goes on without clumping, doesn't flake off or smudge, yet is easy to remove (unlike Great Lash). Plus it really does make the lashes curl up as it dries.
• 8. Avon ColorTrend eye shadow rollette in Frost to highlight my brow bones.
• 9. Revlon ColorStay Overtime Lipcolor in Eternally Tan or Endless Spice. I love this stuff. It really has staying power. I've converted most of my girlfriends.
• 10. Marcella Borghese Blush Milano Peach Biscotti.
