I love how this makeup look turned out! Winter in Canada always wreaks havoc on my mature, dry skin, so using a hydrating foundation is key to creating a healthy, youthful glow. I focused on lightweight, skin-loving products that add radiance without settling into fine lines. Soft, flattering tones on the eyes and lips complete this fresh winter look! All products linked for you. ✨

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.

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.

Makeup Look of the Day!
I pulled out my L’Oreal True Match Nude Serum Foundation for this one—and I have thoughts! Despite the name, it doesn’t really feel like a serum to me. The texture is thicker than I expected, more like a skin-finish foundation with decent coverage. It wears nicely, but I wouldn’t call it fluid or lightweight like most “serum” formulas.

What’s your experience with this one? Do you think the name fits the formula?

Comfy, easy, and stylish — this jumpsuit is my go-to every year. I grab one from Aerie or Aritzia each spring because it’s the perfect one-and-done piece. Dress it up or keep it casual… it always works.
Do you have a staple like this in your closet?

While I was testing out Maybelline’s new Firework mascara during a livestream, one of the ladies shared a story that brought me to tears.
It reminded me how many versions of ourselves we live through in a lifetime — and how each one deserves to be honoured and celebrated.
We grow. We change. We shed. But none of those past versions were wrong. They were all part of the journey.

Things didn’t go as planned… I started by focusing on my skin and foundation, but it ended up looking heavy, cakey, and accentuating my fine lines and texture — not what I wanted for a fresh spring/summer look! Instead of starting over, I show you exactly how I fix cakey foundation without removing everything.

I was scrolling through spring makeup trends and came across an article on Byrdie that totally caught my eye. 💫
Makeup artist @lorencanbymakeup created this gorgeous peachy champagne blush look on The White Lotus star Sarah Catherine Hook — and I had to try it for myself!

I used two shades of the new MAC Strobe Blushes to recreate the vibe, and I love how fresh and glowy it turned out. ✨
Let me know what you think — would you wear this champagne blush trend?

Smokey eyes aren’t just for 20-somethings. I’m still playing—and loving it. ✨
I get asked all the time about the best eyeliner for mature eyes, especially if your liner smudges or fades throughout the day. The Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On pencils are one of my top picks. They’re creamy enough to blend (perfect for a soft smokey look), but once they set—they stay put.

I used the shade Tootsie—a rich cool medium brown with a matte finish—but your liner doesn’t have to be this dark. You can absolutely keep it softer or even play with a pop of colour. Make it yours!

This is a quick way to add some drama without it feeling overdone. If you’ve been unsure about trying a smokey eye as you age, I say go for it. Adjust it to suit you—it doesn’t have to be heavy to be beautiful.

Would you wear this look?

Can we still wear shimmer over 50? YES!

Let’s Play! 6 MAC Shadow Sticks = 1 Soft Spring Eye Look 💜

Who says we can’t have fun with makeup over 50? 💁‍♀️
I used 6 MAC Dazzle Shadow Sticks (yes, six!) to create this soft, wearable spring eye look—and I’m OBSESSED. These glide on like butter, last all day, and gave me the freedom to play without it looking overdone. A little sparkle, a little elegance, and a whole lot of fun.

I bought my first red light device years ago at IMATS in NYC—it was a wand, and I’d spend so much time slowly running it across my face. Eventually, I upgraded to a full red light panel for my body and a smaller one for my face, but honestly… they just weren’t practical. I had to stop what I was doing, sit still, wear goggles, and block out a chunk of time.

That’s why I love the CurrentBody LED Light Therapy Mask (Series 2). It actually fits into my life. The technology is backed by science and I can wear it while editing, reading, or getting things done around the house. No downtime, no hassle.

If your skincare tools are collecting dust in a corner, they’re not doing you any good. This mask is one I actually use—and love!

Prada Beauty is now available at Sephora Canada!
They were kind enough to send me a few products to try.

At first, I wasn’t sure how I felt about the new mascara—but I’ve been wearing it every day and I’m really loving it! The formula is unlike anything else in my current mascara stash—unique, in the best way. #over50beauty #pradabeauty

Sharing a closer look at the new Prada Monochrome Lipsticks and Astral Pink Lip Balm 💄
I’m trying on the Soft Matte Limited Edition, Hyper Matte shades, and the glowing balm that feels as dreamy as it sounds.

Which one is your favorite?

Well, I found a few key pieces I’ll wear all the time and I had a few fails. I own several jumpsuits from Arie and I live in them! They’re simple and easy to style. I feel comfortable, put together and the neutral colours go with everything.

Trying the Lancôme Lash Idôle Flutter Extension Mascara for the second time—and it’s the one I packed for Mexico! 🇲🇽 When Lancôme sent this to me, I knew I’d test it out, but I never share products I don’t genuinely like. This one? I’m loving it! Super easy to apply, no clumps, no flakes, and it feels so lightweight on my lashes. It stays put all day but comes off easily at night—exactly what I want in a mascara. Have you tried it yet?

I love dresses for vacation because it’s a whole outfit in one—just add a few accessories, and I’m good to go! This one from American Eagle/Aerie was perfect for Mexico. It’s super light, and the best part? It didn’t wrinkle in my suitcase! I got a size medium for reference (I’m 5’6” and 150 lbs). Makes packing so much easier! #over50style #vacationoutfit #vacationdress

I love one-piece jumpers! They’re easy to throw on, comfortable, and perfect for on-the-go outfits. This is an outfit I recently purchased for my trip to Mexico, but even if it’s too hot to wear there, I know I’ll get tons of use out of it during our warm Canadian weather season.

I found Kelly and Kate shoes similar to the pair I have and linked them for you.

Is the new Anastasia Beverly Hills Impeccable Foundation good for mature, dry skin? I’ve found that it all comes down to how I prep my skin.

Today, I used Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré as my skin prep, and this foundation is sitting beautifully on my skin. It has a soft matte finish, so I added a touch of highlighter to bring some light to my face—something I don’t always do when using a radiant foundation. I also prefer applying it with a powder brush and pairing it with bronzer rather than cream products.

Have you tried this foundation? If so, what’s your skin type, and what did you use to prep your skin?

Finally, a colour corrector that works for me! ✨ The new @kosas Revealer Extra Bright Color Corrector in ‘Magic’ cancels out any grey tones under my concealer without feeling heavy.

I picked up the NYX Butta Bronzer in Butta Cup, the lightest shade out of eight.

The Morphe brushes seem nice so far, but I haven’t washed them yet. I wonder if the stiffness of the bristles is causing all the kick-up.

What’s your experience with it? It really does feel like butter as I apply it, and there’s no patchiness—so pretty!

Changing up your blush color can make a subtle but beautiful impact on the mood you want to present to the world. I remember being afraid to wear blush when I was younger, but now I feel bare without it.

Blush is also one of the first things to fade from my face—along with lipstick. Luckily, beauty brands are now releasing 24-hour waterproof blush formulas. Yes!

Which shade do you prefer, or are you like me and love switching it up to match your mood?
