One of the reasons I love the Aerin line of beauty (and home for that matter) is that she’s all about effortless chic. Just take a look at the photo above. Her beauty isn’t stiff or fussy and neither is her clothing or hair, yet she looks stunning and not like she took hours to look just perfect. It’s a look that women over 40 need to learn how to do. It’s not about piling on the makeup, but using the right makeup. Aerin’s new Essentials line of beauty includes this Weekday Palette of a blush, two eye shadows and 4 lipsticks/lip cheek all in one gold tone textured compact that comes in a protective pink suede like material.
The colors in the palette are a pink blush in Beam, eye shadows in Grayge and Graphite, a multi-color lip and cheek shade in Natural and lip stick shades in Geranium and Liebling. Swipe on some of the Cool Gel Eyeliner in Essential Brown to add a bit of definition to the eyes and it’s super easy to use. Then swipe on some mascara and you are ready to go!
For easy touch-ups of the lips swipe on the Weekday lip gloss and with the cooler weather here it means that the air is dry and that makes our lips more dry, too. The Aerin Rose Lip Balm is one of those go-to lip pieces that I know I will use countless times. Wear it alone or under your lipstick or gloss with a hint of soft color. It’s infused with Aerin’s signature scent and made with Viamerine, an organic derivative of sunflower.
See how easy beauty over 40 can be?!
I thought I’d share a picture of me when I met Aerin Lauder. I was at High Point Furniture Market (for my day job) and Aerin was doing a book signing at one of the companies she designs lighting for. When it was my turn to have my booked signed, I told her that I had the blog and had been working with her PR people for 6+ years! This was her initial reaction when I told her.
