How would you describe your personal day-to-day look?:
I have enjoyed makeup since the age of 12. I wear what some would consider a lot, but I try to wear it tastefully. I look at my face as a blank canvas and each time enjoy creating a look for the day.
What’s your skin “type?”:
My skin is dry/combination. It has a tendency to react to many cosmetics on the market so I have to be careful of what I use.
How do you cleanse your face?:
I use (1) Mary Kay’s Timewise 3-in-1 Cleanser, and (2) Olay PROx exfoliating cleanser with a rotating scrubber. I also use (3) Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Softening Lotion, and (4) Merlot Moonlight Radiance Night Cream all over my face, neck and chest.
What are your go-to color cosmetic products?:
I no longer work, so for around the house I use (5) Mary Kay tinted moisturizer sunscreen broad spectrum SPF 20 in Ivory 2 and (6) Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay In Place Flawless Wear Concealer in medium. If I’m going out shopping or of anywhere of importance, I put on Estee Lauder Double Wear Light, Intensity 3.0 because it stays on all day – even through my hot flashes! I use Mary Kay loose translucent powder Ivory 2. I carry with me (7) MAC pressed powder NC37. I wear MAC eye shadows and Revlon color stay eyeliner in dark brown. I can only use (8) Almay mascara (due to allergic reactions to all others), and I use waterproof for the motorcycle, due to so much wind in my face.
What’s your favorite product in your daily routine?:
Merlot Moonlight Radiance Night Cream.
Do you have a favorite perfume?:
(9) Anais Anais by Cacharel
Favorite hair care products?:
I use Pantene products mostly with Shimmering Lights to maintain my blonde highlights.
How does getting yourself ready make you feel about yourself?:
It makes me feel younger, more confident, and prettier.
