MAKEUP SECRETS for OVER 40 | What to use, where to put it and when to skip it!

Hey guys! Today I am sharing with you my FAVORITE makeup tiips for women over 40! I have learned a lot of valuable lessons in makeup application since I turned 40, mostly through trial and error. And I am going to walk you through them today! Makeup can be more challenging for more mature skin but that doesn't mean it is not for you! It simply requires a little more care and strategy. I hope you enjoy this one! Thanks for stopping by!

A tip I use when filling in my brows is to not take the tail too far down, rather I draw them more outward to create a lift to the eyes. Eyebrows frame the face so I think it’s important to fill them in, in a flattering manner 🙂

I've always loved to do my makeup, and I've been playing with it since my early teens. I'm in my late forties now, so I love videos like this. 😊 Thankfully, I'm growing older gracefully. I've definitely had to adjust my makeup application, techniques, and products I use over the years, and that's definitely important to keep your makeup looking fresh, youthful, and naturally pretty. I only wish I had the make-up collection in my twenties that I have now. I would have had a blast! 🤣🤣🤣

I'm 68 but I absolutely love all your videos. I can't wait for the next one. Thank you so much for the great tips. You are so generous a natural beauty inside and out 😍 💖

I truly appreciate your tips for older women. I just turned 40. I just can't do my makeup like a 20-year-old❤ Thank you!! You're so gorgeous.

For those of us with hooded eyes, the best tip is to tight line your eyes with powder eyeshadow. Use a flat brush to push the shadow into the base of the lashes before applying mascara. It was revolutionary! Wayne Goss has the best video on it. But Mandy, this video was awesome. Your eyeshadow video was great too! Helped my daughter do her prom eye makeup. Love you!❤

I'm over 60 and the lipliners can stop the lipstick migrating to unwanted areas, but I sometimes don't want the look of liners. When I need an invisible invisible "dam" I use a clear lipliner. The waxiness stops bleeding and you won't see it. You can also use the clear lipliner first and slightly over draw you lip line then go closer in with a colored liner. When you smudge the liner it loses some of its ability to hold the lipstick in place. The backup liner in clear really helps when you get a myriad of lines.😂

I love that you use your fingers for foundation! I’m 55 and don’t use brushes from liquid products! Love your channel ❤️

OMG, you are beautyful without make-up, but with all these cool tips your look it's just stunning!!! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Big hugh from SloveNIA!!!❤❤

Thanks for the awesome tips. Difference between bronzer and contour is: contour is a more greyish colour that mimics shadows on your face and creates depth, bronzer adds warmth. Bronzer can be used to contour as it is darker than your skin tone but contour generally doesn’t work to warm up complexion.
Good example of a cream contour: Westman Atelier contour sticks have a beautiful cool tone that looks natural but doesn’t warm up complexion 😊

TY for the mascara tips! You’ve just taught this 68 year old a new trick!

[emmashaw]

Fantastic tips, thank you so much! One tip I learnt for my mascara was to gently zigzag across and up through the lashes. It can really help to coat the short lashes and ensures you get from the root to the tip ❤

Thank god I found someone in my age range, and who talks and explains🙏🌸 Thank you🥰⚘️

[charitodavila]

I am 60 and I love make up.
Always I learned from your videos. My face looks fresh with new eyeshadows and your beauty tips.
Thank you😊

[celestepiccolo]

Great tips! I think I’m ready to go out and get that brown eyeliner.

One thing I’ve found to be helpful is to apply (powder) blush after lipstick. Doing that tends to keep it subtle and keeps it from looking too “old lady”. Granted, I am old, but I don’t want to look older.

And a clear lip liner outside of your lip line can keep lip products from feathering.

Thank you so much for all these how-to's. I have been playing with makeup for longer than you have lived and I still have issues, so I REALLY appreciate you doing this.

[specialenvy]

O.m.g stunning doll. Made me want to try this right away. Thank you after trying full makeup after 6 yrs of no time with babies and I cried as my 20 something routine looked horrific!!!! Will try this for my lovely Mummy earned wrinkes! ❤❤❤

[juliahester]

Thank you thank you. This was so helpful, and when you went in for the closeup, your makeup was flawless. You are so pretty 🩷

[erinsirohi]

The lip lining blur trick is fantastic! I have lines from whistling too much - so can’t wait to try this - overlining has always been tricky for me.

I'm 42 and I used to use wet and wild purple eyeliner when I was in my teens and twenties and they're also really affordable. Haven't used them in a long time I'll have to check them out again!
