If you are over 40, then you’re noticing that your skin isn’t as firm and soft as it used to be. It can be tricky knowing what makeup products work best for mature skin. The answer is cream makeup! Cream makeup applies and blends beautifully into your skin and the best part is that it can be done quickly! If you want a fast makeup routine, look no further!

Before you start your fast beauty routine, it’s important to have the right products! If you’re like most women, you probably have a makeup bag or drawer or cabinet full of random beauty products!

  • Color Match Survey: This is a great way to get personally color matched by me! I will analyze your coloring and recommend the right products that will look the best on you.
  • Pre-built Collections: Make it super easy and buy a pre-built makeup palette with colors that all look great together. Just find your shade by looking at the images and choose the closest match.

Everyday Makeup Tutorial

Watch this everyday makeup tutorial for women over 40! Cream makeup works beautifully for mature skin and you can see why here:

Step 1: Even Out Skin Tone

First up, it’s time to even out your skin tone. I like to have 2-3 highlight (foundation) shades in my compact to help even out my skin tone. I use the darkest shade to color correct any redness, blemishes, dark circles, and hyperpigmentation.

Next, take your main shade and apply that everywhere else that needs coverage.

If you want to brighten under your eyes, then apply a lighter shade under your eyes.

Step 2: Contour

This is my favorite step in the 5 minute makeup process! Contouring adds shape, shadow, and dimension to your face. It livens it up! These are the best places to apply contour:

  • Cheekbones: Start at your hairline, follow your cheekbone, and stop at the outer corner of your eye. Then blend the product upwards.
  • Forehead: Apply contour along your hairline and blend it into your hair.
  • Jawline: Apply contour along your jawline by starting at your ear and following your jawbone around to the other side. Blend it down into your neck.
  • Nose: Apply contour on the top sides of your nose to create a slimmer look.

Step 3: Blush

Blush is a great way to add color into your face! Apply it on the apples of your cheek and blend it into your contour.

Step 4: Illuminator

Take cream illuminator and apply it on top of your cheekbones. This will give you a pretty glow when sun or light hits your face.

Step 5: Lips

Top your look off by using the same color you applied to your cheeks and apply it to your lips.
