Non-drying. Long-lasting. And just so pretty.

I’m wearing a lipstick from Thrive Causemetics paired with an Anastasia Beverly Hills lip pencil.

Comfort matters to me more than anything at this stage. If it feels tight or dry, I won’t reach for it again. This one feels creamy going on but sets beautifully without cracking or sinking into lines.

54 years old. Real lips. No filter perfection.

Makeup should feel good. 💕

Good morning!! If any of you have a hard time finding boots to fit your calves, this video hopefully will help. My calves measure just under 16”. I’ve never been able to walk into a store and find a pair of boots to fit my calves. The Sam Edelman boots I ordered fit beautifully.

A subscriber suggested I wear this flannel shirt as a dress with the boots but I don’t think I’m that brave. Maybe with tights? 🤷‍♀️

Denim Look, Loungewear Feel | Rag & Bone Miramar
Today I’m styling the rag & bone Miramar Mid-Rise Jogger Jeans with a simple top from American Eagle. These joggers may look like denim, but they’re actually crafted from soft cotton terry for the comfort of loungewear. A casual, easy outfit that’s equal parts cozy and stylish.

I ordered a large and I like them but I maybe should have purchased a medium. They do stretch out after wearing them.

Life isn’t always as polished as it looks online.

There’s stress behind the scenes for most of us. Makeup hasn’t been my priority lately, but when I choose to sit down and create, it reminds me who I am beyond the noise.

Sharing the products I used here
And a reminder to be kind to yourself today.

Flawless 4K-ready glam

This look had to hold up under studio lighting and high-resolution video, so I focused on long-wearing, skin-like products with minimal powder.

Foundation: Dior Forever Skin Glow
Powder: Haus Labs Bio-Blurring (used very lightly)
Eyes: MAC Unfiltered Nudes palette
Bronzer: Nudestix
Blush: Kosas
Lip liner: Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Fair
Lipstick: MAC Modesty
Brows: NYX Lift & Snatch in Blonde

The base lasted beautifully and still looked radiant on camera. My brows pulled slightly darker than I prefer, but overall this combo photographed very smoothly in 4K.

I own so many foundations… and I love a lot of them.
But sometimes I just want to go back to what I know works.
54 years old. Real skin. No filter perfection.
If this helped, I’ll share more of my go-to foundations

This has become my go-to lately. My skin has been very dehydrated after a stressful couple of months, and I’m finding myself reaching for products that feel comforting and easy.
This sunscreen gives hydration, slip, and protection without feeling greasy — especially helpful when my skin feels off.
Shared honestly, as always 🤍

That moment you remember
why this is your go-to.
Skin just doing its thing.

Normal to dry skin will love this foundation!

If you’re looking for a lip combo that last all day and keeps your lips moisturized, this combo is for you.
The Hung Vanngo Lip Liner is what makes this lipstick combo last all day and the hydration comes from the Lustreglass Lipstivk by MAC Cosmetics.

So good! #over50makeuo #lipcombo

A foundation I’ve been loving since I purchased the correct colour is by Makeup by Mario. It’s like, my skin looks like skin and it stays put.

I love a simple makeup look!
I have normal to dry skin for reference.

I have no idea why my ragged products are in French. Sorry!

MAC Cosmetics was so kind to gift me their Dazzle Glitter Eyeshadows. If you’re curious what they look like, watch this video.
I would describe the texture as elegant and smooth which is beautiful for mature eyes!

#LTKholiday #LTKcanada #LTKbeauty

MAC has new Dazzle Liquid Eyeshadows and they were so kind to send them to me.
This is the colour - Not Scared to Sparkle. You can wear it over your eyeshadow look to enhance the look or, us it alone with minimal or no eyeshadow to add a hint of sparkle for the holiday season.

I saw my friend Jules using the NYX Micro Brow Pencil and had to try it. I always use the Lift & Snatch, but wow — this pencil surprised me! It’s a little drier (which I actually love for control), not too waxy, and it blends right into my brows. Good call, Jules!

Testing two Estée Lauder concealers — both in shade 2C. 👀
On one side: Double Wear Stay-in-Place — oil-controlling, flexible coverage that moves with your expressions (thanks to InvisiFlex Tech + micro silica spheres).
On the other: Futurist Soft Touch Skincealer — infused with vitamin C, peptides & hyaluronic acid complexes for brightening and hydration, so it appears slightly deeper in tone.
Same shade number, different finish and feel.
Which one do you prefer? 💭

Aritzia is my go-to for basic layering tops, and this one might be my favourite yet. The fitted waistline feels so elevated — not too long to bunch up, not too short to show skin. Perfect length, beautiful fabric. I wash it cold and let it air dry… easy.

#LTKover50style #LTKcanada #LTKstyletip

I’ve been playing with underpainting a lot more lately and I’m loving the result. If you ever struggle with blending bronzer or contour, this technique makes everything look softer and more natural.
This was my quick, fresh look for a day of shopping — light layers and a soft glow.

How to make your blush last all day 💕 I’m layering Merit Flush Balm Blush with Kosas Euphoria Powder Blush — a quick trick that sets cream blush for longer wear while keeping that natural glow. Perfect for mature skin or anyone who wants a soft, radiant finish that stays put all day.

Who says brow products have to be brow products? 👀
I filled in my brows using an eyeshadow from the Makeup by Mario The Neutrals Matte Palette—and it worked beautifully! I discovered this by playing around, not by following the label.

Playing is how we learn. Try it! If it doesn’t work, the beautiful thing about makeup is… you can just take it off and start again. 💫

Why is nobody talking about this foundation?!
The Too Faced Born This Way Foundation deserves way more love! I reached for it today because I needed my makeup to last, look natural, and stay flawless all day long — and it did not disappoint.

I have normal to dry skin, and it sits beautifully — no patchiness, no settling, just smooth, natural coverage that moves with your skin.

I wore it to Shepherd’s Fashions here in Ottawa, where I was modeling some of their gorgeous fall pieces. I knew I’d be changing in and out of outfits all day, so transfer-resistance was key — and this foundation delivered.

I finally found a pair of tall wide calf boots to fit my 16” calves!! Woohoo!

Wide calf boots are hard to find in my size. They’re either too small, or too big. This pair of Sam Edelman boots fit perfectly!

#LTKstyletip #LTKover50style #LTKfall

If you’re a wide calf woman like me and have a hard time finding tall boots large enough to fit, these may be for you.

My calves measure 16” and the boots leave enough space for me to wear them with jeans.

I hope they’re still in stock for you.

I got distracted when I was trying clothes on in my living room. I love our light! It sparkles even when it’s off!

Oh, and I’ll link the outfit too. 😃

More comfy clothes! I LOVE this colour! I actually wore this outfit to the Keith Urban concert. I may have been the only one not wearing plaid but I didn’t care. 😂
I dressed it up with funky jewelry and a cross body bag. Comfortable and put together.

Plaid or no plaid? The vote so far has been to keep the top, so I’m going to keep it. The pants run big though.
What do you think?

One of you asked me to try out the Covergirl Fresg Clean Blurrint Skintint so I picked us two colours.

I decided to do a wear test and check-in throughout the day. Holy cow, my skin colour looks completely different in daylight!! The foundation matched though and it held up all day without feeling dry.

Let me know if you’ve had a chance to try the new Covergirl Skintint and how you felt about it. #over50beauty #over50makeup #covergirlskintint #affordablefoundation

I learn something new everyday! 😃 All this time I could have been getting things done while treating my skin. Not that I don’t deserve to relax now and then but the belt clip is super handy! Now there’s no excuse not to use my Current Body Mask. 🤗

I’m heading out for a sunny day on the water, and this is the effortless makeup look I prepped before getting on the boat. At 53 with normal to dry skin, I wanted something breathable, sun-safe, and long-wearing—but still soft, radiant, and like me. Think: natural glow, not glam. ✨

Physicians Formula Butter Glow & Go Stick ☀️
I’ve used their bronzers for years and they’ve never let me down. Easy to blend, smell like a tropical vacation. 🥥
Perfect for a soft, sun-kissed glow!

Big thanks to @physiciansformula_canada for sending me the Butter Glow & Go Multiuse Stick to try! So fun to play with new products.

Huda Beauty was so kind to send me their new Lip Contour Stains and Lip Oils—thank you @hudabeauty!

Yesterday, I was chatting with a bride who asked for recommendations on lip products that last all day. She doesn’t wear much makeup and said she’s tried other long-wearing lip products but didn’t like how they felt. I’m excited to test these out and see how long they last.

The texture of the lip stain feels undetectable, which might be the perfect solution for her. I’ll keep you posted!

During a recent live tutorial, someone asked me the difference between MAC Studio Radiance Face & Body and Dior Backstage Face & Body—and luckily I had both on hand to show the texture and coverage side by side.

✨ MAC Studio Radiance Face & Body
• Sheer, buildable coverage
• Super lightweight, fluid texture
• Radiant, skin-like finish
• Made in Canada 🇨🇦

✨ Dior Backstage Face & Body
• Medium coverage - buildable
• Slightly thicker texture
• Natural finish
• Water-resistant and long-wearing

Both are beautiful but give very different results depending on what you’re looking for.

Have you tried either? Let me know which one’s your go-to!

Brightens, Blurs + Protects

Testing the Clé de Peau Beauté Correcting Cream Veil—and I’m in love. I didn’t realize it contains SPF 21, which now explains the slight white hue I noticed.

This clip is from a livestream on my YouTube channel. I always get a little distracted chatting with viewers while applying my skincare and makeup. 😅 Next time, I’ll use less—I definitely applied more than I needed. I have a feeling it’ll look even better with a lighter hand.

The Clé de Peau Correcting Cream Veil is a beautiful primer in my opinion—and I don’t usually get excited about primers. It hydrates like skincare and smooths like a blur balm, without settling into lines. It also layers beautifully under foundation.

If you have mature or textured skin, this is a gorgeous luxury option worth trying.

Underpainting for hyperpigmentation = game changer.
Whenever I apply blush or bronzer over foundation, it always ends up lifting coverage and exposing my dark spots again. This technique solves that.

I used the Huda Beauty Blush Filter in Light Medium and placed it before foundation—letting it peek through in the most natural, seamless way. I won’t go back.

If you struggle with hyperpigmentation, melasma, or uneven tone—try this.
I’m 53, and this just simplified my whole base routine.
