LOS Perspective

I don’t know about you but both pre pandemic and now post pandemic I have not used much makeup at all. I use the Biologique- Recherche line for skincare (see my other posts about the products!) and when needed I put on a little tinted moisturizer, mascara, and some brow gel and I am done!

The Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Oil Cream not only has a SPF of 30 (which is necessary no matter what age you are to protect your skin) but it is very lightweight and I have switched this out for bronzer. I go a few shades darker on it (I use Tan) and that gives me not only a nice bronzed look but also a glow. https://www.sephora.com/product/complexion-rescue-tinted-hydrating-gel-cream-P393356

I have been using the Glossier brow gel for a few months now. It took some getting used to as I converted from an eye brow pencil. This gel is easy to apply but you need to be careful in how much and to make sure you are really following the hair on your eyebrow so it blends well. https://www.glossier.com/products/boy-brow?g_campaign=US_Google_Shopping_ACQ_Makeup&g_campaignid=13053446601&g_adgroupid=123426185658&g_adid=520698964782&g_keyword=&g_keywordid=pla-297811013028&g_adtype=&g_merchantid=107339476&g_productchannel=online&g_productid=BBR-008-00-00&g_partition=297811013028&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=CPC&utm_campaign=US_Google_Shopping_ACQ_Makeup&gclid=CjwKCAjwtpGGBhBJEiwAyRZX2uW2mhpVRUupuQuhe3nbUHXVA6e_Tbs9_zt6qhzhP7l9WdVvjBiBpRoCKDoQAvD_BwE

Lastly, I was on the prowl for a new mascara during the pandemic… I was not going anywhere but with all of the Zoom calls I felt I needed a little something. When searching for one online I came across this one that Beyonce reportedly uses and if it is good enough for her….its good enough for me! The brush is great and it lasts for the day and through an evening gym workout. https://www.ulta.com/p/voluminous-lash-paradise-mascara-xlsImpprod16151007

Lastly, I really don’t use lipstick but I love this Charlotte Tilbury Kim KW (as I write this I hope they don’t discontinue it due to the Kardashian/West divorce). It is super light and provides some coverage and is simple enough that it gives the no makeup makeup look. While the price point seems expensive, I do have to say the quality and amount of time it lasts is so long that I feel that if you find a signature color or two, it is well worth the investment (just keep the kids away from it!) https://www.charlottetilbury.com/us/product/hot-lips-lipstick-kim-k-w
