My Simple, 5-Step Summer Glow Makeup Routine

Lindsay Silberman — Wed, 16 Apr 2025 20:11:30 +0000

It’s no secret that spring and summer call for lighter and more glowy makeup looks. There’s just something about the warmer weather that makes a low-maintenance routine that much more appealing. Plus, my days can get hectic (especially during the summer months) so it’s important for me to get ready quickly in the mornings. I’m sure a lot of you are in the same boat. This 5-step summer glow makeup routine is exactly what I follow when I need to look put together but have limited prep time. It’s so quick and simple that I swear even makeup newbies can pull it off. Since so many of you are shopping the Sephora Savings Event this week, I figured now would be the perfect time to share some of my recs! Whether you’re meeting friends for […]

As someone who reviews products for a living, it takes something truly spectacular to stand out enough to be considered a holy-grail favorite. To make my favorites list, it can’t just be an item I like—it has to be something I swear by, something I rave to all of my friends about, and something I find myself consistently reaching for. In a world where new products are being thrown in your face daily, it can be overwhelming to keep up with what’s truly worth your investment—which is why I decided to put this list together.

The Best Lip Combos for a Neutral, Everyday Look

Lindsay Silberman — Tue, 23 Jul 2024 16:17:00 +0000

One topic I really haven’t blogged much about is my favorite lip products. (I have a lot of them!) I don’t know about you guys, but I always tend to gravitate toward neutrals — specifically colors that fall within the rosey nude and mauve family.* *I will add a caveat that I recently tried this Urban Decay Vice Lip Bond in a bold red, and I might start going bold more often! I love playing around with different lip liners, lipsticks, and lip gloss combinations, so I figured I’d share two combos that I’ve been wearing a lot lately. Even if you wear just the lipsticks on their own, each of these shades has my enthusiastic stamp of approval. I’d honestly consider them the be the best lip combos out there! Best Lip Combos PRO […]

The Best Makeup for Older Women

Lindsay Silberman — Tue, 23 Jul 2024 09:21:00 +0000

When you’re a woman of a certain age, choosing the right makeup products is crucial. The goal, of course, is to enhance your natural beauty — while also camouflaging skin concerns like sun spots, hyperpigmentation, undereye bags, and fine lines and wrinkles. For as long as I can remember, my mom (who is in her 60s) has been my go-to beauty guru, so I figured there was no better person to make recommendations on the best makeup for older women than her! She spends hours researching products before deciding to pull the trigger on something new, and she has even influenced my own everyday makeup routine from time to time since we both have similar dry skin. Over the years, and after testing dozens and dozens of foundations, primers, bronzers, blushes, eyeliners, mascaras, and concealers, […]

32 Must-Have Summer Makeup Products, Tips, and Tricks

Lindsay Silberman — Sun, 05 May 2024 10:36:00 +0000

As a self-admitted makeup junkie, I love nothing more than revamping my routine for a new season…and summer makeup just so happens to be my specialty. (Though I do also have an article about the best winter makeup and products as well!) When it comes to changing up my makeup for hot weather, I focus a lot on staying power, things packed with SPF, things that will make me look dewy (but not oily), and things that will keep my face and lips hydrated and plump. And, perhaps most importantly, I love a gorgeous, just-back-from-the-beach bronzed glow. After testing hundreds of products over the years—from pricey sunscreens to cult-favored bronzers—I’ve narrowed down my recommendations to this concise list of the very best summer makeup products. I’ve also discovered a few hacks when it comes to […]

12 Best Drugstore Brow Gels to Add to Your Makeup Routine

Kara Thompson — Thu, 14 Mar 2024 22:49:14 +0000

When it comes to makeup, I truly believe there’s a time and a place for everything. From an easy-to-put-together everyday look to soft glam makeup, I feel like I have tried it all. However, regardless of the occasion I’m getting ready for, there are a few makeup bag staples that I would consider “must-wears.” On that list? Some type of tinted moisturizer or foundation (for a dewy and fresh complexion), a good mascara (that doesn’t get clumpy), and an eyebrow gel (that actually holds your brow hairs up.) Brow gels might seem like a product you can skip in your makeup routine, but they really do work wonders on sparse areas, filling them in and framing your face in the process. They honestly just leave you with a more polished look, and I personally feel […]

12 Makeup Organization Ideas from a Professional Organizer

Lindsay Silberman — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 02:34:00 +0000

I’ll be the first to admit that when it comes to my makeup and skincare, I’m not exactly the most organized person. As someone who writes about beauty and skincare for a living, I receive an excessive amount of products—and, for the life of me, I’ve never been able to figure out how to keep everything neat and tidy. Before I had a makeup storage plan in place, my apartment looked like the back stock room of a Sephora…and not in a good way. So I decided to hire California Closets to help design a space that would best suit the needs of all of my products—and then, I enlisted the help of a professional organizer. (If you haven’t yet read it, I did a full review of California Closets and details about how much […]

Ilia Foundation Review: Is This Cult-Favorite Product Worth the Hype?

InfluencerSEO — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 22:51:31 +0000

When it comes to beauty, there’s no doubt that I love to test out new products (it is my job after all.) However, I’m definitely more eager about trying products from brands that I’m somewhat familiar with. After seeing so many positive reviews and a lot of talk on social media, I couldn’t help but be intrigued by Ilia Foundation. After testing so many makeup products over the years, I definitely have had a lot of experience with different types of foundation. I rely on it to help me look more awake (night owl over here) and leave my skin with a dewy, healthy look. But in my quest to find the right foundation, I learned that not all of them should be treated equally. Not even close. When shopping for a foundation, it’s important […]
