I'm a total non-make up person.. I like gloss or something on my lips, because otherwise they get dry - but regular makeup.. doesn't help me... back in high school and college and a few years after in summer theater, I used to do makeup for stage.. and can make anyone look great - except me
Moisturizer is essential... especially wiht SPF in it -- I won't leave the house without it - Oil of Olay was great when I was in my 20s... but my skin has gotten so much dryer now.. I really like Lancome's Absolue line.. it's pricey but it's got a creaminess without greasiness that really absorbs and doesn't clog pores. I also like Origins masks.. those are good for monthly deep cleanings.
