42, No Filter—Just Good Makeup That Works

At 42, I’ve stopped chasing trends—I just want products that work. Lately, I’ve been leaning into Japanese makeup, and it’s been a game changer for my dry skin (with the occasional shiny T-zone). 💙 Suqqu Foundation melts into the skin like a second layer. It’s not full coverage, but it blends beautifully and never cakes. People say it oxidizes—I honestly haven’t noticed. Once I’m out the door, I stop checking. 💜 Elegance Purple Primer was a lucky find. A makeup artist used it on me once and I was hooked. It instantly brightens my yellow undertones without looking pale. 🍑 Canmake Cheek & Highlight Duo—a soft blush and highlighter combo with a putty-like texture that’s so forgiving. The colors are subtle, wearable, and never patchy. ✏️ Shiseido Hexagonal Brow Pencil? I’ve used it for years. Every purse I own probably has one. It’s reliable, soft, and gives the most natural shape. #beauty #makeup #SoftGlowRoutine
