Cream products are amazing for mature skin and look super flattering on women over 40.

BUT, a lot of women struggle with getting their blush and bronzer, and even highlighter to look right on mature skin!

The biggest mistake I see women make when applying cream products is that they apply them directly to their skin straight from the tube! This makes them super hard to blend.

Here are my 2 top tips to getting your cream makeup over 40 to look fabulous!!!

1️⃣ ALWAYS PREP YOUR SKIN

Use a moisturizer, prime and eye cream before makeup!

2️⃣ ALWAYS apply liquid and cream products to the back of your hand or your wrist first to warm up the product and make it easier to blend!

BONUS: You end up using a lot less!!!

Give it a try and let me know what you think! ❤️

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!

LET ME UNPACK IT FOR YOU 👇

➡️ Save this for later so you have it

Before I get started, I want to clarify….do Instill use eyeliner pencils? Yes, I do. It depends on my mood and the look I am going for !

BUT…..if you are a woman over 40
who struggles to get her eyeliner to look right, I encourage you to try this technique.

Here’s how & why👇👇👇

❌Most pencils are wax based. What happens to wax when it gets warm? It melts! Raccoon eyes for days!

✅If you are constantly dealing with smudged eyeliner try a gel based liner like this one instead!

❌ Stop pulling at your eyes. If you have tugged at your eye to apply a pencil then you know it is really hard to get it to look right! It is too thick, uneven…it’s a struggle!

✅ Instead use a brush like this to stamp the gel liner onto your lash line while your eyes are at rest in their natural state! Start at the outer corner and work@your way in!

✨This will create the illusion of a thicker and fuller lashline instead of looking like you are wearing eyeliner. Add mascara for maximum impact!

Give it a try ❤️

☀️ Are you a woman over 40 who wants a natural, sunkissed and healthy glow this spring and summer ? (Who doesn’t am I right?! Here is how….

☀️Contouring is OUT!!! It was never really “in” as far as I am concerned. It is a technique used in photography but doesn’t look natural at all in real life, if you ask me!

☀️I love this @drunkelephant liquid bronzer and buy a new bottle every spring. This is my favorite way to apply it for a quick & easy healthy glow all spring and summer long! Give it a try! ☀️
