My 2025 Beauty Round Up
What I used most...
When I look back at the past year, my makeup routine really settled into its own kind of flow. I naturally reached for the same products over and over…the ones that made my skin look healthy without effort, the formulas that never made texture feel difficult, and the tools that basically guaranteed a good makeup day.
This year taught me that having a small edit of products you trust is better than having drawers full of things that never get touched. Although, I still have those drawers that need clearing! I’ve finally found my version of forever favorites, and I’m excited to see what earns a spot in 2026. Enjoy!
















Great Article Nina! Yes I have my favorites as of makeup products that look great on me. I use my Covergirl Simply Ageless Foundation and Powder. I’ve been using that since 2017! Love it! And my Skincare Oil of Olay Total Effects 7 since I was 28! It’s age defying products and the proof is in the pudding! lol
NINA just wanted to let you know this is Danielle Neithardt from YouTube and used to be my name on Substack. Had to change it to this name on here currently bc of social media stalkers and harassment but will be changing back to my real name asap. I’ve been supporting and following and subscribing to you for over a year now on YouTube and for awhile now on here. Just wanted you to know we are the same person just different names. Just a heads up!
