In today’s GRWM, I’m sharing the high-end products that truly made my 2025 “holy grail” list, and I’m putting every one of them on my face with you step-by-step. I start out like I always do—skin is cleaned and moisturized—then I go in with my Benefit Porefessional primer (yes, I’m a primer girl) and my MAC Paint Pot in Painterly because it gives my lids that velvety, not-drying base that helps shadow wear until I take it off. I lightly set my lids with Laura Mercier Translucent powder, then I use my Natasha Denona Eye Sculpt palette to work around my hooded eyes and crepey skin (77 years old… we’re working with what we have, right?). For foundation, my special-occasion favorite is the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation Stick—pricey, but it blends like silk and looks beautiful on mature skin. I also share the mascara that made my list (PrimeLash), my Smashbox Cali Contour palette to warm the face, and my forever blush love: NARS Orgasm X. I finish with Lancôme Teint Idole concealer, then set and soften everything with Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder for that easy glow. And as always, I keep it real—some things I love high-end, and other categories (like lipstick and liner) I’m perfectly happy saving money with drugstore.
