What was good for us in our younger years doesn’t always carry us in our midlife years. It’s important to know what kind of makeup works best for women over 40.

Video Tutorial

The makeup items below have been suggested on women who are over 40 or who do makeovers on women over 40. While I haven’t tried them all, I’m beginning to explore.

Turning 49 this summer means I’ll be looking at makeup that will carry into my over 50 decade next.

Hey, we can’t stop the effects of aging, but we can certainly make it up!

When you see the 🥇badge it means this item is the favorite amongst the videos and blogs I explored to compile this list.
