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 genuinely thought everyone did this… turns out it’s actually a self-tanning hack. 🤷🏼‍♀️

After I rinse off my express self-tanner (or once my mousse has fully developed), I always apply a coat of gradual tanning lotion. It keeps my tan looking more even, helps it fade beautifully instead of getting patchy, and gives me a little extra hydration too.

It’s such a simple extra step, but it makes a huge difference. Tell me… have you been doing this, or is this new to you? 👇

The easiest way to reapply SPF without ruining your makeup? A sunscreen setting spray. ✨
A few spritzes and my skin goes from “afternoon dull” to “glazed donut with benefits.” 🍩☀️
It locks in my makeup, adds the prettiest glow, and gives me sun protection even on the days I forget SPF before makeup (it happens).
Because glowing skin is great. Glowing skin that’s protected is even better.

25 years of marriage and one thing we’ve learned? Never stop dating each other.

Life gets busy. There are kids, careers, responsibilities, and a million reasons to stay home in sweatpants. But making time for date nights—whether it’s a fancy dinner or just a drink by the water—has always been one of the best investments in our marriage.

After 25 years, the butterflies may look different, but choosing each other never goes out of style. ❤️

Quiet luxury isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about investing in timeless pieces that always look polished. A crisp white button-down, great denim, classic accessories, and a few elevated beauty favorites create an effortless look that feels chic at any age. These are the pieces I’m loving for a simple, sophisticated style that never goes out of fashion.

I wasn’t gatekeeping this dress… Target did that for me. 😏

Every time I got ready to share it, it was sold out. Well, she’s back and just as good as I remembered.

Easy, flattering, comfortable, and somehow looks way more expensive than it is. The kind of dress that makes people ask, “Where did you get that?” and then gasp when you say Target.

Don’t wait too long on this one—I have trust issues after the first sellout. 💅✨

My easy at-home nail routine for healthy, polished nails without the salon appointment. These are the products I use to keep my nails looking clean, my cuticles hydrated, and my hands feeling soft year-round. Simple, low-maintenance, and perfect for anyone who loves a fresh manicure look.

Ulta got me again. 💸✨

A few new finds, a couple of repurchases, and at least one thing I absolutely did not need but somehow ended up in my cart anyway.

As a makeup artist in my 50s, I’m always testing products to find what actually works on mature skin—and these are the goodies I’m excited to try.

Have you tried any of these? Tell me what deserves a permanent spot in my routine. 👇

I finally tried the viral Chanel Water-Fresh Tint so you don’t have to… and I get the hype.

As a makeup artist in my 50s, I’m picky when it comes to complexion products, especially on mature skin. This one gives the prettiest “your skin, but better” finish with a natural glow that doesn’t look heavy or cakey.

✨ Lightweight and breathable
✨ Blurs without masking your skin
✨ Beautiful on mature skin
✨ Fresh, healthy glow

And if you’ve been waiting to try it, it’s currently 20% off at Ulta and almost fully stocked—which rarely happens with viral beauty products.

My verdict? Worth the hype.
