Just wanted to check on what your makeup list favorites are since our skin changes and we get better but not younger!!

I am bad at picking out colors - I have Auburn hair, brown eyes and fair skin. Any suggestions on color?

Age: 50
Foundation: Neutrogena Healthy Skin Cream Powder Makeup-stays on all day, great cover, but does show up my fine wrinkles around eyes ????
Concealer: Neutrogena Green for dark circles
Mascara: Neutrogena WATERPROOF
EyeShadow: Not happy with anything yet
Need a good browbone highlighter???
Lipstick: I use Eucerin Aquaphor for dry lips - Great Stuff
Cleanser: Neutrogena Poor Refining
Moisturizer: Neutrogena SPF15
Blush: Looking for a good contouring package.

Any good hints on minimizing a wide nose . Do you know of any good combination contouring kits?

Thanks!! Have a great day

I have tried tons of foundation and my favorite is "Smoothers" by Cover Girl. Apply it lightly, and always over a moisturizer. It does not sink into my wrinkles as badly as some of the real expensive ($40 plus) stuff. I am 70 years old.

Well I try to use anything that is light and seldom use anything at all. If I do I like Mary Kay foundation as it is so light I don't know I'm wearing it. I'm 55!

I use Futurist makeup base by Estee Lauder. I love it.
Lancome has good makeup bases also.
I'm 51.
