We are both “winter babies”, and as we celebrate, we also become more and more interested in age-blurring, age-defying, wrinkle-smoothing, et al. Lately, we have been digging into the world of primers and have found a few that really do the job.

This Tatcha silk canvas primer is true to its name. It is velvety and smooth and a bit luminous. It makes a great base for your foundation or tint and helps keep the makeup out of your pores. hence fewer clogged pores and potential “bumps”. It can also be applied on top of foundation where you want a little highlight or glow.

Available at Sephora

Fenty Beauty is new to us, but from the first try, we have to give a big shout-out and a huge thank you to Rihanna for creating this line. This primer provides more matte coverage. You can use it all over or just in T-zone. It provides great pore coverage and a beautiful blurring effect. We use this one when in warmer temperatures, or when we want to avoid shine. We also love this because it is hydrating at the same time!

Available at Sephora

While the other two primers are firmly in our rotation, this one might be at the top of our list at the moment. In fact, the words holy grail come to mind. Charlotte Tillbury is fast becoming a belle favorite. This Flawless Filter does exactly what it says and more! We have used it as a primer which creates a beautiful glow without any sparkle, we tried it mixed with foundation for luminous staying-power, and we’ve even used it on its own when we just need a hint of coverage (for those non-makeup makeup days). It can even be used on top of makeup for a little extra coverage! If you can only have one, pick this one. (Although we really think you need all three so that you are prepared with the product that best fits the moment. Just sayin…)

Available at Sephora and Nordstrom

Oh…and all of the above only require a small amount so they all will last a long time!

Glow on belles!

We have a dear friend (hello, Scott) who recently reminded us that we should all be sharing our favorite things! After all, how is a belle to know if other belles don’t share?! This got us thinkin’ about our go-to, daily products that keep us feelin’ and lookin’ good. Here are a few…

Most of these are in the daily rotation…while others (hello, Mario Badescu) are on an as-needed basis.

The perfect skin-polisher…

Tatcha enzyme powder gives the most gentle, beautiful glow! (It happens to be a fave of the new Duchess of Sussex, aka Meghan Markle as well!). Available at Sephora and Amazon

A multi-tasker for the hair…

R & Co Analog Cleansing Foam Conditioner cleans and conditions all at once…and SMELLS AMAZING!!! Available at Amazon and Net-a-Porter

For the MANY days we skip shampoo altogether…

Bumble & Bumble pret-a-powder dry shampoo is the very best brunette-belle has ever used! Perfect for blondes as well, the brunette bonus is its utter invisibility! It gives volume and texture on the down-low. Brilliant!! Available at Walgreens and Amazon

Brow perfection…

Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil available at Sephora and Ulta – this little magic wand fills sparse brows in a snap

For a bit of stepped-up exfoliation…

French Girl Rose Facial Polish – while the Tatcha enzyme powder is a mild resurfacer, this polish turns it up a notch

To control shine and fight sun damage…

Supergoop! Invincible Setting Powder…available at Neiman Marcus and Sephora – perfect for a day on the run!

We’ll cover the next few items in a bit. Enough “favoriting” for now!
