Happy happy Wednesday! I’m partnering with Nordstrom and Collective Voice today and sharing my MY 10 EVERYDAY MAKEUP FAVES along with a video (woohoo!) plus, I am also sharing the TOP 10 CHARMING CHRISTMAS TOWNS you love as well as my TOTALLY TERRIFIC THANKSGIVING BREAKFAST MENU!
Some self-care, holiday and everyday beauty, charming Christmas towns, and easy and yummy breakfast recipes for Turkey Day…that is a full Wednesday in blog world 🙂 .
Some of my very very favorite blog posts and Instagram Stories and Reels to watch/read are about beauty routines. I love to see how/what everyone uses and how they apply their makeup. Call me crazy, but I actually find it not just entertaining but soothing and relaxing to watch people put their makeup on and fix their hair. Anyone else? I just love it!
As you know, Nordstrom has always been my #1 go to for all things beauty. It’s been a while since I’ve shared a makeup tutorial/video with you, so I pulled open my drawer earlier this week and got to work on my “everyday” routine. Spoiler alert, you will not be surprised by any of these products as I’ve spoken about them all before…they’re my tried and true faves!
Take a little look…
Easy as that!
Here are the exact products I used from #1 to #10…
#1: SUPER GOOP GLOW SCREEN: I go through bottles of this every single year. This is the only sunscreen I use on my face, and I use it every single day all year long. It’s not just for sun protection, it acts as my “primer” too. I could not love it more! I wear it in the shade sunrise.
#2: NARS BLUSH & BRONZER DUO: My very favorite blush and very favorite bronzer can be purchased full-sized or as this duo. Again, I wear these two shades every day, all year long. This blush has been a cult favorite for years and years, and I am personally a huge fan.
#3: CHARLOTTE TILBURY LIPSTICK: Well, I love so many Charlotte Tilbury lipstick shades but Liv It Up is a great neutral for me. I also love that they’re never drying and last despite all of my coffee sips.
#4: BROW DEFINER: I have used this brow definer for many years too! I used to buy it in blonde, but now, I purchase it in soft brown. It comes in 12 different shades for every hair color.
#5: BOBBI BROWN CONCEALER STICK: I picked this up earlier in September after reading so many great reviews online. I love how easy it is to apply and stow away without a liquidy mess left behind.
#6: CAVIAR STICKS: I love using these eye shadow sticks as a primer for my eye shadow. I love the matte shade Vanilla Kiss, but they come in a very wide variety of colors and textures.
#7: EYE LINER: This Perfectly Defined Gel Eye Liner is my go to! I always wear it in the shade Pitch Black.
#8: BROW FREEZE: I love a clear brow gel to set my brows before applying the pencil.
#9: FOUNDATION STICK: I know that I talk about these beauty products often, but I think perhaps none more than my BELOVED foundation stick. I just adore it. I love that I can apply as much or as little, I can control the coverage, I can easily reapply, and I love how seamless it blends. I love, love it!
#10: MACSTACK MASCARA: Another fave! My sister-in-law told me to switch to MAC mascaras probably 16 years ago…and as you know, I have never really looked back.
Now for my eye shadows, I love a neutral palette! They are my favorite to buy and use. This one here…
…in UNFILTERED NEUTRALS gives me 12 great neutral shades to blend or wear alone.
In my video, I shared two extra little bits of sparkle should you want to add a bit of oomph to your everyday makeup and make it “holiday” makeup…
…I love these POP SHOTS EYE SHADOWS! They come in other colors, but I bought the rose gold. I almost made THIS LIP GLOSS a Friday Fave the other day because I really love it. Over the last four months, I’ve purchased four different shades. This one is amber sparkle 🙂 .
I use THIS BRUSH for my bronzer every day. I’ve had it for years and years and love it so much that I bought one for Nantucket too. It makes applying bronzer really easy.
My everyday makeup 🙂 .
What do I use to pull my hair back?
Those SILK SCRUNCHIES I told you about last month! They’re amazing because they don’t crease my hair. I am literally typing this sentence right now with one in my hair. I work out and walk/run in them now too!
What about “before my makeup”? Well, I’m upstairs doing a little work in my CHRISTMAS PJS and yes, I love my BUBBLE NECKLACE too.
They would both make great Christmas gifts!
This little Nordstrom beauty find is great for gifting or for enjoying yourself…
…it’s these REJUVENATING EYE PATCHES…
…and they are a great way to give yourself a little self-care this busy time of year or a great gift idea too!
And one last thing…
…if you’re looking for perfumes this season, don’t forget my signature fall and winter scent BY THE FIREPLACE. It’s my very favorite!
I love Nordstrom beauty especially during the holiday season! Not only do they have everything my family needs, but they have impeccable service, free shipping, free returns, curbside pick up, and gift wrapping too (all so handy for the busy lady!). You can catch all of their services HERE!
Don’t forget that it’s a THREE POST WEDNESDAY! Make sure you also check out the TOP 10 CHARMING CHRISTMAS TOWNS you guys love as well as my TOTALLY TERRIFIC THANKSGIVING BREAKFAST MENU!
I hope you all have the BEST day! xx
Beth Knecht says
Love this post! Getting color matched for new winter makeup was on my to-do list this weekend. I might just make a list from your list and take it and ask for those products at Nordstrom! I love beauty, but I don’t really love new items – I love tried and true like you shared!!
Kara says
Love these posts! The lipgloss and sparkly eye shadow are on their way to my house! 🥰
Beth Knecht says
Shay, if you have time would you mind linking any brushes you use with your products? I’d love to just place an order and get everything all at once!
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh shoot! I need to add that Nars Brush right now. I’ll do that one STAT!
Sheaffer says
#1, #4, and #8 are three of my favorites too!
Elspeth says
You make it look so easy with those products! Thanks for sharing!

Leslie says
I bought the Milk glow primer you recommended….obsessed!!! It’s amazing! I feel like I finally found a primer that actually primes my skin, gives a subtle glow AND keeps my makeup from sliding off my face during the day. THANK YOU!
I also love your Christmas Instrumental playlist. Thank you for taking the time to put that together. It’s perfect for having a little joy in the background while I work.
Mix and Match Mama says
YAY!!! I was listening to that playlist just yesterday morning. I like it too. I’m going to continue adding songs to it as well.
Sarah Shaneyfelt says
Can you add your playlists to Apple Music, too? I would love to listen and that is platform I use to listen to music.
Mix and Match Mama says
Let’s see if I can figure that out…Sarah, you know I’m not techy! Bahahaha!
Kristy says
I love these posts. Do you have favorites you like to watch or do you just google the product you want to see?
Cyndy says
Hi!
I missed the milk glow primer. Would you please share who makes it?
Thanks,
Cyndy
Mix and Match Mama says
Of course! It’s right here: https://shopstyle.it/l/ciLXS
Erinn Mosher says
I love the Milk primer too! Wondering if when you use the Milk primer do you also use the Super Goop?
Mix and Match Mama says
I do because I just love sunscreen every day! A little of both goes a long way.
Ranisa Brletich says
I would love to get that eye shadow. The link was not working. I can look up if I have the brand name. Thank you!!
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s MAC!
STACEY says
Thank you for the make up tutorial, very enlightening. You are beautiful with of without make up!!!
Erika Slaughter says
That SuperGoop never lets me down! A tried and true fave!
Jeanette says
Thank you for sharing! That NARS duo is the best!
Elizabeth Lind says
I’m looking for a good make up brush cleaner. Do you have one you like?
Mix and Match Mama says
I just use a little bit of face wash and warm water.
Jackie says
I think it’s time for me try the Supergoop! Also, do you happen to have a link to the cute Christmas mug in the picture above? I need it!
Mix and Match Mama says
I bought that mug at a store called At Home. It’s a chain store, so you might have one nearby!
Katy Reuter says
Do you add eyeliner or eyeshadow to your lower eyelids?
Mix and Match Mama says
Just a little liner on the lower with a bit of mascara.
Holly C. says
love seeing others makeup tutorials!!! Thanks!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Me too!!
sandi says
For gals with oily skin, Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen is amazing.
Krista says
Would love to know where you got that necklace!
Mix and Match Mama says
I included it in the post with the pjs!
Melanie B says
I would love more information on your hair going darker! I’m blonde and feel like each time I think I’ve worked up the nerve to tell my hair dresser to go darker I back out! But I would love to use less bleach on my hair. Was it a gradual switch for you? Do you miss your bright blonde? A post on your hair journey would be great!
Mix and Match Mama says
It was very gradual! Last fall-ish (sometime in there), when I went in, I just asked her if we could go less blonde with the highlights and it sort of snowballed. I *think* this is very close to my natural color (which I haven’t seen in over THIRTY YEARS!). I just feel more me. I’m not saying I won’t ever go back, but right now, I love it and feel more myself.
Brooke says
I am here to vouch for the foundation stick. I started using it on your recommendation and love it. I don’t know how many of those things I have bought now. Thank you!
Mix and Match Mama says
YAY!!!! It’s such a game changer!
