f 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.
Foundation: Maybelline Fit Me! Dewy and Smooth Foundation

A foundation that packs hydration and sun protection is always a welcome addition, according to Dina, 45. "Maybelline's Fit Me Dewy and Smooth Foundation provides all-over luminous coverage, hydration, and a dewy complexion that makes me feel and look great," Dina says. The key ingredients at work are humectants, such as glycerin and hyaluronic acid, that absorb water from the atmosphere of your skin and hold it in place on your skin.1 "Consider them water magnets for our skin," says Registered Physician Assistant Angie Seelal. "Plus, dimethicone helps to seal the hydration into the skin by acting as an occlusive barrier."
BB Cream: Clinique Age Defense BB Cream

Monroe, 48, always reaches for Clinique's Age Defense BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30. She calls this her "all-in-one for a five-minute face," adding that it primes, brightens, and evens her skin. Makeup artist Mickey Williams, 47, also raved about the product. "I love any cream that combines SPF and tint because it’s the easiest way to get a face on, in a flash," Williams says.
Highlighter: RMS Beauty Living Luminizer

"I dab this highlighter on my cheekbones, bridge of my nose, lids, and brow bone," Sherri, 40, says. "It lights up my face." Mickey Williams agrees that an allover highlighter adds instant luminosity. Her favorite is Charlotte Tilbury’s Flawless Filter. "It’s sexy, youthful, and I apply it at the very end of my makeup routine, so I can put it just where I need it like my upper cheekbones, forehead, nose, and jawline," Williams explains.
