In the past, I used to be more comfortable with my bare face but after I hit my late 30s (I'm currently 42), I found myself reaching for face makeup more often. As such, I have tried tons of foundations â in various finishes, coverage, and price points. And while I recommended only one in year's Sephora spring sale post, I tend to rotate my foundations depending on my mood. And the following seven, in no particular order, are my all-time favorites. (Some of the linked products are affiliate links, meaning I get commission for purchases or clicks made through those links in this post.) Pat McGrath Sublime Perfection Foundation, $69: This foundation has light to medium coverage, with a natural finish...

I know you're probably getting inundated with recommendations for the Sephora sale, but I thought I would throw in my two cents here because I have some stuff that I have not seen on many other people's lists. Additionally, I am only picking one makeup item per category. (You can see my skincare recommendations here.) And because I am only listing the items I'm currently using, the products that are not available on Sephora (like concealer, brows, lippies, etc) are not listed. In other words, this list will be a lot shorter than others. :-) (I get commission for purchases or clicks made through links in this post.)

As I've gotten older, I've pared down my skincare routine greatly. Gone are the days of the 10-step routine. Time is too precious. Simple, effective products are key. Although I don't use TikTok (I'm too old đ), I do read about the big trends and I discovered skin cycling last year. Basically, the concept is: Night 1: Exfoliation Night 2: Retinoid Nights 3 & 4: Recovery Since I hadn't been using retinoids every day anyway, I began skin cycling ever since I read about the concept and I have to say I really like the results! Anyway, back to the routine. My morning routine is as follows: Cleanse (water cleanser) Essence Sunscreen That's it. Because of skin cycling, my night routine is a bit more complicated: Cleanse (oil cleanser) Cleanse (water cleanser) Exfoliate...

And now, for the conclusion of this series, I present to you: the Korean beauty products that are on their way to me, if customs will pretty-please hurry up so that I can get my greedy paws on them!
First up is the IOPE Air Cushion XP Matte Finish.
Yep, the cushion compact that started it all â at the height of its popularity, one IOPE Air Cushion XP was sold every 30 seconds in Korea, and it still remains a best-seller in Asia â has just released two new versions: the XP Matte Finish and XP Intensive Cover.
IMHO, this is a great move on IOPE’s part, especially with cushions gaining steam in Europe and North America, where women generally prefer additional coverage and/or a matte finish.
And with the warmer months just around the corner, you know that this combination/oily skinned blogger has to try it out!
