In this video I’m wrapping up part three (and the last installment) of my Best of 2025 series, and I’m focusing on the products that truly finish a makeup look for me: lip products… and I’m tossing in a few blushes too. I go through my favorite lip oils, balms, glosses, lipsticks and (very important for mature lips) lip liners. I share what feels nourishing, what gives that juicy shine without stickiness, and what actually lasts without bleeding into fine lines—because that’s always the concern as we get older. Lip oils were a big theme for me this year because my lips get dry, especially in fall and winter, and I want hydration that looks polished. I talk about my top formulas (drugstore and a few higher-end), the shades I wore on repeat, and what’s worth repurchasing. Then I switch gears to blush and share the three blushes I reached for in 2025—two drugstore and one classic that’s basically mistake-proof. Everything I mention is chosen with mature skin in mind: easy blending, a healthy glow, and that lifted, fresh look without extra fuss.
