If you are struggling with makeup over 40, this blush hack is a gamer changer!

If you are a woman over 40 with dry and mature skin, cream blush is your best friend! It melts into our skin going you a lovely natural flush and is so flattering.

Powder blush can sit on top of your skin and can make emphasize dry skin and make it look flat!

My top tip for applying blush is to remember what I call the 3 finger rule!
Place 3 fingers next to your nose and do not apply any blush there.

Apply blush in an upward motion and blend out! Do you see how it visually lifts your entire face? Such an easy tip!

Give it a try and let me know how it goes ❤️

I’m not sleeping in a mask.
I’m peeling it off 20 minutes later with glass skin. ✨

If you want glow fast (and you’re over waiting overnight), this under-$20 peel-off is the quickest skin reset before makeup, dinner, or literally anything. Smooth, bright, makeup sits better… done.

Glow now. Not tomorrow morning.

Winter had its moment… but I’m officially in spring mode 🌸

These are the small, strategic swaps I made this week to freshen up my makeup and my wardrobe — lighter layers, glowier skin, softer colors, and pieces that actually flatter 40+ skin.

Nothing drastic.
Nothing trendy just to be trendy.
Just intentional updates that make getting ready feel easy again.

If you’ve been feeling a little dull or stuck in winter mode, start here. The little changes make the biggest difference.

Everything is linked 🤍 Save this for your spring refresh.

If you don’t prep your skin… don’t even bother with foundation. 🤍

Over 50, it’s not about more makeup — it’s about better prep. When your skin is hydrated, plumped, and smooth, everything you apply on top looks softer, glowier, and more seamless.

Most “cakey” makeup is actually dry, unprepped skin.

Think: gentle exfoliation, deep hydration, strategic glow (not glitter), and letting your skincare fully absorb before you start. That’s the real secret.

Makeup sits best on healthy, balanced skin — every single time.

#LTKgrwm #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

You don’t need more makeup over 40.
You need smarter placement, lighter layers, and skin prep that actually supports your skin.

No-makeup makeup isn’t about looking 25.
It’s about looking fresh, lifted, and polished — without settling into lines or feeling heavy by 2pm.

Less coverage.
More glow.
Strategic placement.

That’s the difference. 💛

The things you loved most this week ❤️

#LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

If your foundation is settling into lines, looking dry by noon, or emphasizing texture… it’s not the foundation.

It’s your skin prep.

Over 40, our skin loses hydration faster, our barrier gets more delicate, and makeup will cling to anything dry. The secret isn’t heavier coverage — it’s layering hydration strategically before you ever touch foundation.

Hydrating serum.
Barrier-supporting moisturizer.
Eye prep.
A touch of strategic glow.

That’s the difference between makeup that sits on top… and makeup that melts in.

This @milanicosmetics stick foundation is a DREAM to apply and works as a concealer as well! Great for travel or to stick in your purse for touch ups! My shade is

The bronzing drops are so good for spring makeup and glowy skin and I much prefer this shade (medium) over the shade of my expensive ones. Plus, these come in 3 different colors and the expensive ones only come in 1 color.

Lastly, this @elfcosmetics lip oil is EVERYTHING! The shade is so gorgeous and perfect for spring. The texture is an absolute dream. Not sticky and hydrating!

Don’t sleep on these for spring my over 40 ladies! ✨

If you’ve never worn makeup before but want to start… this is for you.

Not a 12-step routine.
Not complicated techniques.
Not a full glam transformation.

Just simple, beginner-friendly products that make you look fresher and more polished — without looking like you’re “wearing makeup.”

Because when you’re new to makeup, the biggest mistake is buying too much and using too much.

Start small. Use less than you think. Blend well.
You can always add more later.

MY UNICORN LIP GLOSS

Type LIPS for the link to this gloss 💄

If I had to pick one lip color to wear for the rest of my life, it would be this one!
It is absolute perfection and I have loved it for many years!!

It is so glossy and hydrating with the perfect amount of tingle. (More minty and less bee stung, which I am not a fan of)

My 2 favorite colors are Primrose (worn here) and Cherry Blossom, a pale cool pink!

What’s your ride-or-die lip color? Let me know in the comments.

Winter lips need hydration first — always.
These are my go-to glosses for softness, comfort, and a healthy shine, plus one lightweight lipstick I reach for when I want a little more color without the dry, heavy feel. All three smooth the lips, don’t settle into lines, and feel comfortable all day — even in cold, dry weather.

Packing for 1–2 weeks with just a carry-on ✈️
I stock up on minis so I never have to sacrifice my skincare, body care, or hair routine while traveling. Ulta is having a mini BOGO right now, which is the perfect time to grab your favorites and try new ones without committing to full sizes. Travel smart, not heavy. ✈️❤️

#LTKTravel #LTKBeauty #LTKOver40

I stopped traveling with full-size beauty products years ago… and I will never go back.

Travel sizes only = lighter suitcase, zero leaks, and everything fits in one clear bag 🙌🏼
Plus when my favorites are BOGO at Ulta Beauty, I stock up and keep a set permanently packed so I’m always trip-ready.

No decanting.
No overpacking.
No digging through a giant toiletry bag at 6am.

Just my ride-or-die minis that actually work for 40+ skin and real life travel days.

Linked all my favorites for you 🤍✈️

My makeup started looking heavier and cakey this year… and it wasn’t my skin — it was my routine.

So I stopped layering, used less product, and focused on skin first.

A few tiny tweaks made everything look softer, fresher, and way more natural.

Winter mornings are brutal on skin — cold air outside, heat blasting inside… it’s basically a dehydration sandwich.

So before I even think about makeup, I focus on barrier repair + glow.

Gentle cleanse.
Hydrating serum.
Rich moisturizer.
SPF (yes, even in winter).

Nothing complicated — just layers that lock in moisture so my skin looks plump, calm, and lit-from-within instead of tight and flaky.

At this stage of life, I’ve learned it’s not about more makeup… it’s about better skin prep. When my skin is happy, everything else just melts on.

Winter glow > winter dull. Always. ✨

The biggest makeup myth as we age? That we need more coverage.

In reality, mature skin looks better with less makeup and better placement. As skin changes, heavy layers settle into texture, fine lines, and pores—while lighter formulas let skin look like skin.

When you focus on hydration, thin layers, and strategic placement, makeup enhances instead of masking. It’s not about doing less because you “can’t” wear makeup anymore—it’s about editing so your features stay lifted, fresh, and natural.

Less makeup. Better technique. More confidence.

A week of sun, planes, and cocktails ✈️☀️🍸
My skin definitely felt it. As a makeup artist over 50, I don’t “recover” from travel—I reset. This is how I baby my skin after flights, late nights, and a little too much fun so it stays calm, hydrated, and makeup-ready again.
