I'm in My 50s and Love Beauty—Here's What I'm Asking For and Gifting This Season
If you've been reading our beauty content for a while now on Who What Wear, you're likely already familiar with one of our favorite Los Angeles–based lifestyle, beauty, and fashion bloggers, Melissa Meyers (also known as The Glow Girl). Not only is Meyers practically a savant when it comes to navigating clean, nontoxic beauty, but she also loves to routinely share her best tips and tricks when it comes to aging. Refreshingly, Meyers is all about embracing the aging process and empowering women to be the best version of themselves—whether that's taking the leap and experimenting with clean-beauty products, embracing self-tanners (instead of the sun), or just knowing the best and most effective makeup hacks.
We definitely recommend following her on Instagram at @melissameyers and keeping up with her frequent posts on The Glow Girl. (Click here for all of her dedicated Who What Wear beauty and fashion features!)
'Tis the season of gifting, and even though we've been busy creating tons of editor-approved beauty guides to help you get the most bang for your buck this year, we love to get recommendations from other beauty-loving friends as well. Being the knowledgeable beauty blogger that she is, we couldn't wait to get Meyers on the line to share her top gift ideas of 2020 and what's on her wish list. Below, she's diving into all of her top picks for the holiday season and beyond. Keep scrolling!
My top beauty gift recommendations:
"Because legendary makeup artist Gucci Westman knows best when it comes to luxury clean beauty, I literally use her products every single day. This Gwyneth Paltrow–inspired set is one of my favorites and is inspired by the star's effortless beauty. These are the perfect sun-kissed shades."
The top items on my beauty wish list:
"As I mentioned earlier, I'm so into everything I've tried from Westman Atelier. Next up, the brand's mascara and Baby Cheeks Blush Sticks!"
"I love to work out every day, and during quarantine, I’ve managed to create an at-home routine for myself, but this gift would definitely make it easier. It's a great splurge for anyone wanting to bring awesome virtual fitness classes into their home!"
