At 53, I’ve tried more beauty products than I can count — it comes with the territory when you’ve been a beauty editor for over two decades. But when I find something that really works, I can’t gatekeep it. That’s why I posted a five-part summer makeup series on TikTok, breaking down exactly what I’m using right now to get that glowy, fresh-faced finish I’m loving this season.
I’m not a makeup artist — just a beauty-obsessed editor who’s spent 23 years swatching, testing, and chasing the kind of products that feel as good as they look. And right now, this is my full routine. From the milky moisturizer I use to prep my skin to the airbrush foundation that smooths everything out without settling into fine lines, it’s a mix of longtime faves and exciting new discoveries.
All The Products I Used
I’m sharing the entire list below — including the blush I’m obsessed with (buttercream forever), the long-wear eyeliner that survives summer sweat, the juicy lip stain and gloss duo I’m constantly reapplying, and a brow product that’s under $4 and shockingly good (thanks, Michelle!). I’ve also embedded the full YouTube version so you can watch the entire tutorial from start to finish, all in one place.

The Exact Products Used in Tutorial
Beauty by Earth Self-Tanning Mousse
This clean, streak-free tanning mousse gives a buildable golden glow that looks natural on every skin tone. It dries quickly, smells great, and is infused with aloe, witch hazel, and green tea for extra skin benefits.
Jerome Alexander Airbrush Foundation (Medium + Bronze Glow)
This spray-on foundation gives lightweight, buildable coverage with a soft, diffused finish that looks airbrushed in seconds. I use Medium for all-over coverage and Bronze Glow to warm up the edges — both melt into the skin and never look heavy.
Leven Rose Rosehip Oil
This 100% pure, cold-pressed rosehip oil is my go-to when my skin needs a reset. It helps improve texture, soften fine lines, and gives a natural glow under makeup. I press it in at night or use a drop under moisturizer when I want that lit-from-within look.
DRMTLGY Luminous Eye Corrector
This brightening eye treatment has a peachy tint that instantly wakes up tired eyes. It color-corrects dark circles while hydrating and smoothing the under-eye area. I use it as a base before concealer or sometimes on its own when I want to look fresh and awake.
Patrick Ta Major Headlines Blush Duo in She’s So LA
This blush duo gives you the best of both worlds—a creamy bronzy rose and a matching powder that can be layered or worn solo. It adds warmth, dimension, and the prettiest sun-kissed glow that works year-round.
Prequel Half & Half Fluid Moisturizer
This milky moisturizer is lightweight but deeply hydrating, thanks to peptides and ceramides that help strengthen the skin barrier. It sinks in fast and makes the perfect smooth, plumped-up base for summer makeup.
Milani Fruit Fetish Lip Oil
These juicy lip oils are ultra-hydrating and never sticky. Packed with fruit extracts and vitamin E, they give lips a glossy finish while nourishing and locking in moisture. I keep one in every bag.
Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil in Wherever Walnut
This lip pencil is the ultimate your-lips-but-better shade. The formula is smooth, long-wearing, and just the right tone of neutral brown-pink. I use it to slightly overline, define, or even fill in my entire lip before adding gloss.
Wonderskin 1440 Longwear Eyeliner in “Kalamata”
This longwear eyeliner glides on creamy and sets to a matte finish that lasts all day. The shade Kalamata is a rich plum-brown that adds soft definition without the harshness of black.
Persona Cosmetics Sharpener
This is hands-down the only sharpener that doesn’t chew up or destroy my creamy eyeliners and lip liners. It gives the cleanest point every time — no splitting, no waste, just smooth, precise sharpening. Pure perfection.
Laura Geller Best of the Best Beauty Kit
This all-in-one palette includes blush, eyeshadow, and highlighter in flattering, wearable shades. The buttercream blush gives the perfect natural flush, and the baked formulas blend like a dream.
Maybelline Colossal Bubble Mascara
With its bubble-shaped brush, this mascara gives major volume and curl without clumps. It grabs every lash, adds instant lift, and stays put—even in heat and humidity.
Unite Hairspray
This finishing spray gives flexible hold that keeps styles in place without stiffness or buildup. It dries fast, brushes out easily, and has a light, clean scent that’s never overpowering.
Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow in Made for Mocha
This deep matte brown shadow blends smoothly and stays put. It’s perfect in the crease, along the lash line, but I love it most as a brow powder. Super versatile and under $5.
Sachau Beauty Lip Liner Stayn
This peel-off lip liner stain delivers long-lasting color that doesn’t budge. It defines lips with a soft matte finish that looks natural, never dry. One swipe lasts all day.
Sachau Beauty Liquid Glow Stayn
This liquid highlighter blends seamlessly and gives skin a dewy, radiant finish. It’s infused with skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid and peptides to hydrate while you glow.
Beauty Creations Bye Filter Setting Powder (Pink)
This ultra-fine pink setting powder brightens and blurs instantly. It sets makeup without caking, controls shine, and gives skin that filtered, soft-focus look all day long.
