Makeup Tips for Women Over 40
Does anyone else love to watch makeup and beauty tutorials? Many of Team Busbee’s members are over 40 and really love to try all sorts of new and different techniques to see what will work best for more mature skin! When we’re in our 20s and 30s it can feel more exciting to be a little more daring with our makeup looks. But as we get into our 40s and 50s, we start to notice more of those fine lines and wrinkles around our mouth, eyes, and forehead. That doesn’t mean we want to stop trying new things, but it does mean we want to approach our makeup a little more thoughtfully.
With age also comes wisdom and picking up makeup tricks along the way. We’re sharing some of the tips and tricks we’ve learned that work best for aging skin. If you’re reaching your 40s or you feel like you need guidance, we’re saving you the learning curve.

I wanted to give a makeover to my mom on her birthday. So for that reason, I was looking online for some tips and hacks to hide fine lines and wrinkles. I came to find your blog while browsing through the internet. Thank you for saving my time. I also liked your recommendations on makeup products. I will try this out and see whether these tips work for my mom or not. Thank you for sharing this blog with us. It was very helpful.
Thank you so much for the feedback, Manojnatha! I’m thrilled you found these tips helpful. Please come back and let us know how it worked out with your mom. 🙂
Try shaving the peach fuzz you get with age off of your face. I shave my face at least once a week. It makes all the difference for makeup application. I know it sounds weird, but trust me it makes a big difference. Peach fuzz is not pretty on anyone, anywhere.
Hi Denise! You’re actually not the first person I’ve heard this from and it’s a good idea. Regardless, whether someone is comfortable shaving their peach fuzz or not — hydration is vital! Thanks for your tip.
I love expensive cosmetics, but I would love to tell you about the best lipcolor I have ever used. My partner loves the look of lipstick but detests its messiness and stickiness. I discovered “Revlon Colorstay Overtime” lip color. I used to love Chanel’s European version but it dries out the lips. It will never mark your champagne, or wine glass, leave a mark on your napkin or even come off on your mask. This is a two process color which lasts almost all day. The second step is a lip gloss. I apply it after the color dries to seal the color. If I am going to be kissing my man, I wipe it off or blot it, leaving just the color for many hours. Try it.
Great budget-friendly choice, Catherine! Another nice thing about the Revlon Colorstay Overtime is that it contains vitamin E, so it’s definitely moisturizing. Thanks for your feedback!
