A simple outfit formula I’ll be wearing on repeat this summer. 🤍 I am a medium in top and bottoms

A classic black button-down paired with lightweight tailored shorts always looks polished but still feels effortless in the heat. I finished the look with timeless accessories that elevate even the simplest basics.

✨ I’m wearing a size Medium in both the button-down and the shorts.

Foundation Friday but make it Cloud Skin ☁️ The 2026 trend for that soft, blurred, filter-like glow without heavy cakey foundation!
I created it using just 2 drugstore concealers, a quick resetting spray for hydration, and a light finishing powder for the perfect soft-focus finish. Feels like skin but looks expensive ✨

The skincare step that’s been making my skin look noticeably more plump, hydrated, and smooth lately. 🤍

I’ve been reaching for this milky toner essence whenever my skin feels dehydrated, dull, or like my makeup needs a little extra help sitting beautifully on the skin.

The lightweight formula layers effortlessly and gives my skin that fresh, healthy, hydrated look without feeling heavy or greasy. I love pressing it in after cleansing to add an extra layer of moisture before the rest of my skincare routine.

With green tea, ceramides, and multiple forms of hyaluronic acid, it’s designed to support the skin barrier while helping skin look softer, smoother, and more hydrated.

Such a beautiful addition if you’re looking for that healthy, plump skin look. ✨

Want to look more awake?

This is one of my favorite under eye combinations when I’m dealing with darkness, dehydration, or concealer that just isn’t sitting right.

I start with the Tula Under Eye Balm to add hydration and help smooth the area. Then I use the Smashbox x Becca Under Eye Brightener to neutralize darkness and bring light back under the eyes.

The result is brighter, smoother, more refreshed looking under eyes and makeup that applies more beautifully.

Sharing both products here because they’ve been staples in my routine for years.

#LTKgrwm #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

One of the biggest mistakes I see is relying on moisturizer alone for hydration.

As an esthetician, I’ve used an essence for years because it helps add that first layer of hydration before serums and moisturizer. Think of it like watering the soil before planting. When skin is properly hydrated, everything that follows can work more effectively.

If your skin still feels dry, tight, or dull, adding an essence may be the missing step in your routine.

Sharing a few of my favorite essences that I reach for again and again.

FOUNDATION FRIDAY: The Ultimate Luxury Dupe? 🥂✨
Today we are testing the legendary Armani Luminous Silk against a budget-friendly contender: the L’Oreal Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation.
As a professional artist, I’ve kept Luminous Silk in my kit for years, but this L’Oreal formula is a serious challenger. It’s specifically designed for mature skin—packed with Vitamin B3 and a hydrating serum so it doesn’t settle or look cakey.
The Verdict:
I’m wearing shade 25 (Cream Beige) in the L'Oreal, and the finish is stunningly similar to the Armani glow. If you want that high-end, editorial skin look without the luxury price tag, this is a must-try.
What’s Linked Below:
✨ Armani Luminous Silk: The gold standard for a "lit-from-within" finish.
✨ L’Oreal Age Perfect: The serum-infused dupe that’s perfect for daily wear.

Bulletproof Makeup for Humidity & Hot Flashes ☀️🔥

If you’re tired of your makeup melting off by noon, this routine is for you. Whether it’s the summer humidity or a sudden hot flash, these are my professional-grade essentials for keeping your skin looking flawless and “locked in” all day long.

These aren’t just products—they are high-performance tools that work with mature skin, not against it. Think: skin that looks like skin, but wears like iron. 🥂✨

In this video:
✅ The grip primer that won’t budge
✅ My favorite sweat-resistant foundation

You don’t need contour… and you don’t need bronzer either.

Most of the time, both are being used out of habit, not intention.

If I use them, it’s very soft, very intentional, and placed higher than you think.

These are the formulas I trust when I want that effect without heaviness.

If your skin still feels like it’s not fully clean, this is the step that changed everything for me.

Double cleansing helps remove makeup, SPF, and buildup without over-drying your skin — especially important for mature or dry skin.

I hear it every day: "Elle, foundation just doesn't look good on my skin anymore." 💬

As a 15-year celebrity makeup artist and licensed aesthetician, I’m sharing my "No-Foundation" secret for a flawless, editorial complexion. If you are over 40, stop fighting heavy formulas and start using this 3-step "Point Conceal" method.

✨ STEP 1: YSE Beauty Tinted SPF. This is your glow-primer and protection in one.
✨ STEP 2: Brighten. I’m using the Smashbox x Becca corrector, but if you want a Sephora Sale pick, grab the Glossier Stretch Concealer (linked below!).
✨ STEP 3: Detail. The YSL All Hours Concealer is thin but high-pigment—perfect for hiding redness without the weight.

My Sephora sale edit — what I actually think is worth it at 40+. Up on YouTube now

I went through everything and only kept the products I truly use, would repurchase, and that actually make a difference in how the skin looks and wears.

This is a curated mix of skincare, SPF, complexion, and makeup that gives a more refined, smooth, and effortless finish without heaviness.

I also included a few additional favorites (like lips, mascara, and tools) that I didn’t cover in the video but still love.

#LTKgrwm #LTKBeauty #LTKOver40

If you’ve been curious about the new Laura Mercier Tinted Blur Balm in 1, I put it to a real-life wear test today… natural light, car lighting, and out to lunch.

This is one of those formulas that’s less about coverage and more about how your skin looks… smoother, softer, slightly diffused without feeling heavy or dry.

On 40+ skin, that balance matters.

I kept the rest of my makeup very intentional so the skin could stay the focus. Everything layered well, nothing felt overly set or textured, and it held up beautifully through the first few hours without separating.

If you prefer a fuller coverage foundation, this may not be for you. But if you’re looking for that blurred, skin-like finish that still looks natural up close, this is absolutely worth a look.

I’ve linked everything I used on Elleleary.com
