A few people have recently asked me what make-up I use. So, I decided to do a few little segments of the blog and dedicate them to my drugstore make-up regimen.
We are all getting older...especially me! I've always had a love for beauty secrets, make-up and my own glam that is still simple enough for a busy mother. Also, I pride myself on shopping for "drugstore" items to make my regular treatments...Nothing special or expensive. (I save that money for Botox and other future upkeep)
The above pictured items are 2 of my favorite things that I swear by for the base of my daily make-up regimen.
The Neutrogena moisturizer can be found in any drugstore. I combine it with the Bioderma, tinted moisturizer which, unfortunately, I get from Abu Dhabi. I haven't tried to buy it here but I'm sure it can be found on the internet if not in stores. It can be substituted with any tinted moisturizer but I recommend using a darker shade than you would normally use because the Neutrogena will lighten the color of it.
Using just a drop of each covers my entire face (including eye-lids) for an even, all-over tone. The two of them together offer great sunscreen, alpha-hydroxy as well as coverage of any blotches or blemishes...OH NO...None of us like to admit to having those but the occasional spot does appear. There is something fundamentally wrong with a pimple in a wrinkle!
None-the-less, this is how I start my morning, or mid-day, or even 3pm make-up (whenever I get to it)..More later on the next step..It's all affordable and seems to work for me.
