Can you believe I created this full face using affordable drugstore products from one brand—and it’s cruelty-free too? In this one brand budget challenge, I’m doing a complete e.l.f. Cosmetics look specifically with dry, mature skin in mind (and nope, not sponsored—these are all products I bought with my own money). I start the way I always do: something moisturizing on the lips, then hydrating skin prep so my makeup looks fresh and lifted instead of emphasizing texture and fine lines. I walk you through my glow-boosting routine: Thirst Burst Drops for instant radiance, a new brightening eye cream I’ve been enjoying, a thicker barrier cream for extra comfort, and my favorite silky SPF 35 that doubles as a primer (I truly think it’s a dupe for Supergoop). Then we get into the makeup: peach color corrector to neutralize darkness, a smoothing primer where I need it most (pores, smile lines, forehead), soft satin foundation that works surprisingly well on my dry skin, and a $6 concealer that absolutely blows my mind for no creasing. I finish with easy eye techniques for mature lids, a tubing mascara that doesn’t flake or smudge, pigmented liquid bronzer/blush applied carefully (back of the hand first!), a touch of Halo Glow as highlighter, and hydrating lip products to keep everything comfortable and juicy.
