What’s not listed is my foundation, which is an amazingly light formulation from Make Up Forever. It’s called Pro > Finish, and goes on like a powder-like foundation that never feels cakey or makes me feel like my skin is suffocating. You can use it wet or dry and is buildable depending on how much coverage you need.

I’m wearing color 178.

You might notice in the collage I have a reference to Lip Tar. I LOVE lip tar. But don’t let the name fool you–it’s not just for your lips. I’m using this particular color as a cream blush and it is fan-ta-bu-lous. The tubes last a million years because you need so little.

As for my lips, I’m indeed wearing Stila Color Balm lipstick in Valentina.

But remember ladies, all this make up may be fun, but it does you absolutely no good if you don’t have a clear base in which to start. There’s only so much cover up you can use and you covering those swollen bumps and blackheads aren’t fooling anybody, chica. People ask me a lot about my beauty routine, because at almost 40 I’ve got pretty good skin. And I assure you it’s not just genetics. If I didn’t give it special care, my face would be a mess. Here’s my routine. I use IS CLINICAL/INNOVATIVE SKIN CARE exclusively. Nothing else goes on my skin. Nothing.
