11 Women Over 40 Share the Makeup They Can’t Live Without

If you’re in your 40s, chances are you have some tried-and-true products in your makeup bag. I know I do. Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing LipColour Balm ($19), Nars Orgasm Blush ($32), L’Oréal Voluminous Lash Paradise Marasca ($12), Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer ($23), and Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Oil-Free Foundation ($65) are just a few of my favorites. The formulas work well with my skin, and they’re different than the ones that worked in my 20s and 30s.

Curious about the beauty products other people in their 40s are loving, I tapped 11 everyday women and beauty experts to share what makeup works best for them. Ahead, the cosmetics you should give a try, too.

Better Than Sex Volumizing Mascara
$27.00

Kate, 48, reaches for Too Faced’s Better Than Sex Volumizing Mascara when her eyes need a pick-me-up. “I love this mascara because it coats my lashes in a deep, inky pigment,” she says. “But it also seems to perk up droopy lids and my sometimes tired-looking eyes.” Willams agrees a rich, black mascara can work miracles on tired eyes. “Since our eyelashes get lighter and more sparse as we age, a volumizing or lengthening mascara can make eyes appear more open,” she says.
