VIDEO: Makeup for Mature Skin ft. My Mom!

After many emails and requests from some of my older viewers, I am excited to bring you all a makeup tutorial with my mom! Like my mom, makeup for women over 50 can be difficult. With the right products and tips, you can cover wrinkles, dark spots, and enhance your natural features. I also show how to cover redness such as rosacea, sun damage, and broken capillaries.

Even if you are younger, you can still benefit from these tips if you have dry skin. For my younger viewers, feel free to do this look on your mom or grandmother- it would make the best Christmas present! Please share this with the older women in your life 🙂

Here’s a simplified step by step (as requested by mom, haha) instruction on how to do makeup for mature skin.

Check out the video to see the demonstration of course!
