TIPS & HOW TO’S

Makeup Hack 💄

Want Lipstick that lasts ALL day?

I learned this hack from Nikki
La Rose and it's a game changer. The secret; powder on bare lips before lipstick. It locks everything in so your color stays put, even through meals.
How I do it:
1. Press a little loose powder onto bare lips using the BK
Beauty x Nikki La Rose N14
Brush.
2. Apply lip liner for definition.
3. Add lipstick (it goes on smooth + stays put).
4. Finish with gloss for shine + plumpness.

My go-to cream blush for over 40 skin + the brush breakdown! The Jane Iredale Glow Time Blush Stick in "Balmy" gives the prettiest peachy-pink glow hydrating, blendable, and flattering without shimmer. I’m demoing two BK Beauty brushes: 112 for light precision and 107 for a fuller wash of color.

This is the easiest eye look you’ll ever try! Using just 3 brushes from ⁨BK Beauty (205, 211, 207), I create a neutral eye look with soft shimmer, definition in the crease, and a touch of bronze along the lash line. Perfect for everyday, hooded eyes, or beginners!

4 Easy Tips For Better Foundation✨

Sharing my best tips to avoid cakey or heavy looking foundation...

#LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

If there’s one thing that instantly elevates your eye look, it’s a soft and shimmery bronze eyeliner and this one from Fenty Beauty in the shade Puppy Eyes is perfection. It’s creamy, blendable, and gives just the right amount of definition without the harshness of black. Once it sets, it’s smudge-proof, budge-proof, and absolutely stunning!

My Go-To Eye Look ✨

#LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

Flawless makeup starts with skin prep.
The biggest mistake? Applying skincare in the morning, then waiting hours before makeup. Your foundation needs a freshly plumped + hydrated base to look smooth and seamless.

Here’s what I used to prep my skin in this routine:

THAYERS Milky Hydrating Toner — snow mushroom + hyaluronic acid for a hydration boost

BEEKMAN 1802 Milk RX Advanced Better Aging Cream — rich, smoothing, perfect for mature skin

ALASTIN HydraTint SPF 36 — my holy grail tinted sunscreen (wears beautifully alone or under foundation)

💡 Pro tip: If you applied skincare hours ago, revive your skin with a hydrating serum or primer right before foundation. It makes all the difference for glow + smoothness.

Lip Mistakes to Avoid + How to Fix Them!
When it comes to creating full, youthful lips, it’s all about the right liner, lipstick & gloss combo.

✅ My Lip Tips (the Do’s):
• Use a creamy liner that’s easy to blend + soften
• Choose a tone that’s close to your natural lips, just slightly deeper
• Slightly overline at the border (not inside the lip line)
• Pair with a creamy lipstick a touch lighter than your liner
• Always finish with a gloss or lip oil for volume + shine

🚫 The Don’ts:
• Liner too dark for your lipstick
• Harsh cupid’s bow definition
• Matte lips only (they can make lips look smaller & emphasize texture)

💄 Products I used in this look:
Persona, Lip Liner – Dusk
Makeup By Mario, Supersatin Lipstick – Midtown
Bobbi Brown, Extra Plump Hydrating Lip Oil – Bare Rose

✨ Same lipstick in both the “Don’ts” and the “Do’s” but liner + gloss made all the difference.

Harsh black liner? Try this instead!
I love the definition eyeliner gives, but placement + color make all the difference. A chocolate brown or bronze liner can look softer, more modern, and just as impactful as black.

💡 My Eyeliner Tips:

Skip rimming the whole eye (it makes eyes look smaller).

Focus liner on the outer half of the lash line.

Always smudge your liner for a softer finish.

On lower lashes, swap liner for shadow or a bronze pencil.

✨ What I used in this look:

FENTY BEAUTY | Flypencil Longwear Eyeliner – Puppy Eyez

BK BEAUTY | Nikki La Rose N12 Ultimate Smudger

MAKEUP BY MARIO | Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette: The Neutrals

This combo = soft, defined eyes that look lifted and youthful.

#LTKBeauty #LTKOver40

The biggest mistake I see (and make myself sometimes!) is applying way too much under the eyes. Concealer is already the heaviest, most pigmented product in your routine, so a tiny bit goes a long way.

Here’s my concealer hack for smooth, crease-free under-eyes:

Work the concealer onto the back of your hand first, then pick it up with a brush.

Apply just a dot in the inner + outer corners and blend outward.

Always finish by tapping with a clean brush or finger to absorb excess before setting with powder.

💄 Products I used here:

Sarah Creal Face Flex Concealer & Complexion Enhancer

BK Beauty x Angie Hot & Flashy A506 Concealer Brush

✨ This combo = natural coverage, no creasing, no “extra lines.”

How to Wash Your Makeup Brushes (The Right Way!)

🧼 This is the RIGHT WAY to clean your makeup brushes! Dirty brushes = breakouts, streaky makeup, and damaged bristles… we want to avoid that.
Here’s how I do it:
STEP 1: Start with warm water, not hot! Hot water can loosen the glue that holds your brush together. You just want it warm enough to break up makeup.
STEP 2: Wet the bristles only. Always point the brush down so water doesn’t seep into the base. Don’t soak the whole brush, just the fibers!
STEP 3: Take your brush cleanser, liquid or solid, and swirl the brush gently in your palm. You’ll start to see all that product come out. Rinse and repeat until the water runs clear.
STEP 4: Gently squeeze out the extra water, reshape the brush, and lay it flat on a towel to dry. Let it dry completely before standing it up. This helps prevent shedding!

🧽✨ I wash my brushes every 1–2 weeks to keep them soft, fresh, and performing their best. Trust me, your skin and makeup will thank you!
