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 ❤️

If your tretinoin has been leaving your skin dry, tight, or irritated… try the sandwich method ✨

I apply moisturizer first, then a pea-sized amount of tretinoin, followed by another layer of moisturizer on top. It helps buffer irritation while still giving you all the smoothing, glow-boosting benefits.

The older I get, the more I realize skincare is about working with your skin instead of against it 🤍
