Probably more than you wanted to ever know:
In my early 60s I went to a make-up workshop at Nordstrom to update and prepare for my son's wedding. It must have been for Laura Mercier, because I switched to mostly her products. Regular foundation doesn't work for me anymore, but LM's tinted moisturizer in SPF 20 Nude does. Now, more than a decade later since DS's wedding, I use it daily unless I'm going to be outside for more than a few minutes, then I use regular sunscreen.
For important occasions I use Smashbox SPF 20 primer first. Better than LM for me.
Gave up on eyebrows until I found Gimmie Brow in medium. It tames those ridiculously long eyebrows I've been growing lately as well as colors. Most eyebrow pencils are too brown or too gray for me, but Chanel Ash Blonde is good. I can't be bothered with penciling it on most of the time.
I also use LM blush, lipstick and translucent powder. I'm happy with Loreal mascara, but just tried a sample of Mac's new mascara and I like it. Have check on what it's called.
I don't use eyeliner anymore. Too difficult and my eyes are deep set anyway. I occasionally use a cover up stick whee needed.
For running errands I put on the brow stuff, LM Nude or just powder, a bit of blush and lipstick. The whole eye makeup is saved for more formal occasions, like going to a class or meeting. I have yet to find the perfect brand or color, although LM is okay. Lipstick color and type is an ongoing search. If you've seen some of my recent photos you know I do need some color and definition.
I've always had oily skin and just recently it seems a bit drier. I use Cetaphyl at night and after an outbreak of rosacea earlier this year, tried Neutrogena Hyaleronic moisturizer at night. Maybe it's coincidence, but the red spots and red areas almost disappeared, plus my skin feels nicer. I have an aversion to chemical smells that many serums and cosmetics have, and I am allergic to lavender.
Oh, and yes my face still breaks out occasionally, but not since I've used the hyaluronic stuff it hasn't.
BTW, went to see dermatologist for annual check 2 weeks ago. She complimented me on my skin and said it looks really good, and this after looking a magnifying glass and light.
I asked her what she recommends for sunscreen now, and she said anything that works as long I use it. Even better is to cover up, wear a hat and stay out of the sun, I'm going to be out in the sun gardening or walking until I can't move anymore.
Let's see: I started using lipstick 65 years ago even though I got kicked out of class to go wipe it off.
