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 ❤️

This is my weekly hair routine! I realize it’s a lot but it’s working and I have a lot of damage to reverse.

I wash my hair 3x a week and only do this once a week. The other 2 days I just wash and use conditioner, then detangler and heat protection.

Let’s have a great weekend, girlies ❤️
