These 10 Makeup Products Were Made For Over 40

Now we all know that once you get into your 40s your makeup needs to change. Products sometimes need to change, application needs to change, blending needs to change, so much needs to change because so much is changing with your face and it's just kind of an ongoing process. But there are products that I feel are made for over 40s. Like they're so good it's like someone was sitting in the lab who was in their 40s. 100%. Because the way they've been made it's like it just is for us and that's what I want to go through with you today. I want to go through products that feel like they were literally made for your 40s because they work well with dry skin, with fine lines, with wrinkles, with depression lines, with sagging, with dryness, when things cling to dry places, like all of these things with texture, everything that we deal with as we go into our 40s. These products feel like they were made for us and that's why I want to go through them with you. If you're new here, I'm Nina. I'm a celebrity makeup artist and a beauty educator and I go through everything that helps you. This channel is all about being educational and learning everything that you can about makeup. Very detailed, very precise and very easy to understand. Let's start off with the first product. It is the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. There are two versions of this. One is the Natural Dewy and one is the Blurred Matte. I personally love the Natural Dewy. I really do like the Blurred Matte too but honestly the Natural Dewy gives me the most skin-like finish and I actually like the dewiness because it isn't too heavy. It's not overly dewy. It's not like really greasy or anything. There are some foundations or tinted moisturizers out there that are so greasy on the skin. For example, the Bobbi Brown one cannot stand it. It just is like, makes you look like a grease ball. It's horrible. This is absolutely amazing. My shade is 3W Palomino and it's pretty accurate to be fair. I don't know about the other shades but the fact that I can match something to my skin shade to me is like a plus point. This one has been around forever and there's a good reason why it's so iconic. You've probably heard so much about it. I heard so much about it before I even tried it and I was like, I don't know why people are going on about this so much. It's just a tinted moisturizer but I think I only kind of appreciated it once I got into my 40s. This is actually SPF 30 as well so you do get that protection which is great. I feel like this is the perfect everyday base if you're in your 40s. It gives you that natural, fresh finish to your skin. Very skin-like. I have this on now and honestly it's the one thing that makes my skin look good considering it's not heavy and it's not like amazing coverage but I'm going to tell you a little secret here in a minute what I do to get that amazing coverage. It doesn't emphasize fine lines or texture. I feel like it kind of blurs them out a little bit. It's also infused with ingredients and I can't pronounce them for the life of me but they're good for you. So it basically keeps your skin very hydrated and it's a very flexible formula. It's not heavy, it doesn't cling to dry patches. I like to combine this with a concealer to get a really amazing base for an everyday look so that's exactly what I've done today. Now this is all over my face and then the concealer is only on my under eyes and I put a little dash there. I don't spread the concealer out onto the rest of the face so all of this area here you are not seeing any concealer at all. All the forehead, there's none there. So this works in a really amazing way with this concealer because the concealer focuses on the dark circles. You don't even need to apply it here. I just put it there for a little bit of a lift but it works really really well at kind of giving you the coverage where you need it. So it's almost like this really clever illusion that you give because really what we don't realize is you don't need coverage everywhere. It's usually specific places like the under eyes or the eye area that's usually really dark and once you've sorted that out, the rest of the face looks fine. So this is where you can use this all over. It's a light coverage and it gives you the most amazing skin-like finish like so but we've got the concealer to work on the areas that we need it. So it's kind of like making you feel like everything's flawless when actually you don't actually have the concealer anywhere else other than your eyes. Now I will say don't ever replace your moisturiser with a tinted moisturiser. I feel like a lot of people get confused in that way. You should replace your foundation with a tinted moisturiser. So if you worry about like how to use a tinted moisturiser, it's really easy. Just replace your foundation with a tinted moisturiser. That's it.

I would really really appreciate if you could do those three little things for me because they would mean the world to me and they really do help my channel out. The next product is my Anastasia Beverly Hills Hydra Prime SPF 50. This is a primer that I feel like was made for anyone in their 40s. This primer is insane. It is so hydrating for your skin. If you struggle with a lot of dryness, which a lot of people do in their 40s, then try this. You're going to love it. This works amazingly as a primer. So it gives you the hydration. By the way, can I just add that it smells so good. Like not a fragrancy smell. There's something, some ingredient they've used is just so nice. It smells really good and you're going to love it. I know you are. And it smells expensive. It smells really good. But this is really, really good. It is packed with ingredients that are good for your skin. I love the fact that it's SPF 50. So you've got really high protection there. It gives you this kind of balmy texture on your skin before you apply your foundation. So it really does allow your foundation to stay hydrated, like your whole, your skin to stay hydrated all day. And it is very good at smoothing the skin ready for that polished application. My next product is the Too Faced Born This Way Multitasking Concealer. Or it's Multi-Use Concealer. Sorry, it's Multi-Use Concealer. I always get that confused because the names are just so long. This concealer is made for your 40s. Now, I don't know who's working over at Too Faced, but I always like, I know this sounds really bad, but I just always envision it's like a group of teenagers working at Too Faced because obviously the branding, you know, it's all very pink and fun and playful. And you're just like, are there any adults working there? You know, but this concealer is so good. So good. This is like made for anyone in their 40s. So there's gotta be one person there who's in their 40s, but this is amazing because I feel like this texture is just perfect. It's, it's not too fluid. It's not too heavy. It's, it doesn't cake up. It doesn't dry up too fast at all. Not at all, really. It's honestly a concealer that just works for mature skin. Now, even though it claims to have a full coverage, I feel like it's not full in the sense where it's cakey or heavy. It's a very flexible formula and it doesn't cling to dry patches. And that's what I love about it. It is so hydrating on your skin. I would say this stretches over your skin rather than clings. It stretches over your skin really well. So a little goes a long way. You can use it for under eyes, blemishes. Some people even use this as a foundation. I would say this is like a smarter version of Tarte Shape Tape. So many women in their 40s or above with mature skin have told me that they don't like Tarte Shape Tape, even though I love that, that concealer, by the way, but they don't like it because it doesn't work for their skin because it feels cakey to them and it dries too quickly and it clings to texture and it just sits in fine lines. And that's fine. It's different for each person. But if that's the case for you, this is going to be for you because this is a smarter version of that. It is like Tarte Shape Tape, but more flexible, more stretchy on the skin and less cakey, less drying on the skin. So it kind of moulds into your skin and it is just a beautiful formula. I would say this is like Tarte Shape Tape's smarter, softer sister. That's the best way to put it. Next up, this product. Wow. It is absolutely amazing. You go onto any forum or kind of like online discussion board, whatever you want to call it, and everyone is talking about how amazing this concealer is for people in their forties. If you want to, if you're happy to spend a little bit more because that Too Faced concealer is not as expensive as this one, but that is going to be great for you. But if you're happy to spend a little bit more and you want a little bit more luxury, then go for this. This is the Westman Atelier Vital Skin Care Concealer. It's like a luxe skin treatment in a concealer. This is honestly one of the most beautiful concealers I've ever used. It's part skincare, part makeup, packed with vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, squalane is, if that's how you say it, because I never know how to say that. So it hydrates and kind of gives you that coverage at the same time. And it's also brightening. So if you continue to use this for four weeks, like continuously, then apparently it's very brightening for your undry circles. Now it's a very, I would say this is a very rich formula, but in a very flexible way. And again, stretches really nicely on the skin. This is not heavy. This is not cakey. It does not dry or cling to any dryness on the skin. It molds really well with fine lines and wrinkles. I think you're going to absolutely love this. I would say it's perfect for more drier skin tone, skin types. It never looks heavy or chalky on the skin. Very buttery, very smooth, blends perfectly. I genuinely think you're going to love this. Now, what I will say is I would say this is affordable. Let me check how much these are. Let me see what the difference is. From what I can see, the Too Faced is $36 and the Westman Atelier is $48. That might be a little bit, that's just what I've like literally just Googled right now. So there is a price difference there. But what I would say is if you want an affordable version, go with this. If you're happy to spend the money, then go with this, because it really depends on what you like. But they are very similar formulas, but one is a little bit more luxe and the quality is a little bit better, but it's still very close to the previous one that I mentioned. Now, if you love this whole list that I've gone through so far, then you might like my other channel, which is my Beauty and Fashion channel. And everything's listed in my description, so you can find it all there. But if you type in Nina Ubi Beauty and Fashion channel, it will come up, but it's a mix of different reviews on there for beauty and fashion. So I think you're going to love it. So you might want to head on over there. Now, next up is this one here. This is the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter. This I feel like was definitely made for anyone in their 40s. It's an underpainting must-have. Let me explain. This is my go-to when I want a soft lip from within. I'm not going to say glow. It's like this, it's just lip from within. That's it. It's not like glowy. Do you know what I mean? It can be if you use it in a certain way, but it's not like shiny or like sparkly or shimmery. It just is absolutely stunning. If you apply this all over your face after your skincare, so after your primer, before your foundation, you are going to get the most stunning finish. You're going to be like, wow, trust me. You're going to have people asking you about your skin. Radiance is the word I was looking for, a lip from within radiance. That's what I was looking for. No shimmer, no glitter, just radiance. Under your foundation, it adds depth, it adds dimension, and it gives you that radiance that doesn't feel like you've added an extra product on top just to get that. Your base ends up looking like healthy skin, not makeup. It genuinely does make your skin look really healthy. If you want a bit more luminosity, then you can mix it in with your foundation and then apply a foundation. You can use it in several different ways, or you could tap it onto high peaks of your, the high parts of your face, like different areas, and you can get more of a glow if you want it in certain areas. I like to use five for radiance and luminosity, and six for a bronzed look, so really have a look at the different colors. Don't just think there's one that's going to suit you. I feel like getting two is a really good idea because you can get that really nice summery sun-kissed look, and you can also get that more radiant luminous look. Okay, this next one is another one that I've recently come across, and I absolutely love it. This is the Westman Italia Baby Cheeks Blush Stick. This is so good for people in their 40s. It's probably the easiest blush that I have come across, and I know there are many other blush sticks around, and you might think they're all the same, but this, the formula is like it's just made for older skin because it doesn't grab hold of any texture. It doesn't sit in one place. It just melts into the skin without looking overly glowy, so it isn't going to give you that shiny finish. It really genuinely does look healthy on the skin. The color that I actually ordered was Pop It, and it's a really nice hot pink, but it doesn't look like that on the skin. It looks very healthy looking. So powder blushes can end up really aging you fast, and I feel like this works really well if you are in your 40s. It melts into the skin seamlessly, and it's really kind of diluted when you first apply it, so you don't have to end up getting that like punchy immediately. You can definitely get it if you want, but what I love is that you can get a really soft, barely there tint to the skin as well, so you get the best of both. It's a very kind of buildable product. I personally like applying on the high parts of the cheekbones because I feel like you get a nicer finish that way, and it's lifting. Next up is my makeup by Mario. I always forget the name of this. Soft Sculpt Bronzing and Shaping Serum. So this is a great product for anyone in their 40s. I feel like it's very kind of barely there, so it really does look like it's coming from your skin and not a product that you've applied. I would say this is like a hybrid bronzing, like a bronzer and a tint, and kind of skin perfecter. So it's kind of like a hybrid product because it's not like that immediate bronze look that you get, but if you pick your shade right, like this one here is my favourite one. This is light medium for my skin tone, and it kind of like, I don't know if you can see that, it's so soft, like do you see what I mean? Do you see what I mean by the like kind of skin perfecter? So it's very soft, and it's a stunning finish that you get on your skin, and I really like it either to use kind of underneath, like on my skin, like even if you use this on its own on your skin by the way, that might actually be enough for you with a little bit of concealer in certain strategic places, because if you get the right shade that isn't too dark for you, this can be a game changer for you, like and basically cut out a lot of products as well. So powder bronzers can end up looking really heavy and chalk, not chalky, but like clinging to texture and also enhancing like texture and fine lines on your skin. So a cream bronzer and something like that which is kind of like this, it's like a serum gel and it melts beautifully on the skin is going to be so much better for you. It just ends up melting into your skin and looking like warmth, not makeup. You can use this with a large fluff brush if you want, it melts in really beautifully so I don't feel like you're going to have any trouble with application. I would personally apply this to like the perimeter of the face and then cheekbones here underneath and then going under the kind of jawline and you'll see that you get a really nice finish. Applying it in those areas and then using just a concealer which is very close to your actual natural skin color is going to be a real good look for you. The next product is the Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder but in Ultra Blur. This is a really good product for anyone in their 40s. It's a finely milled setting powder but it has this kind of like soft focus finish to it. So it is blurring, it genuinely is blurring and it works really well if you apply it with a brush. I personally prefer applying it with a brush than a powder puff because I feel like with the brush you compress it in and you get that nice soft focus finish. It's very seamless, again like I very finely milled so it's perfect for anyone in their 40s because you're not going to get that heaviness and that cakey look from it. It also is something that I feel like works really well at brightening certain areas as well. So it's good at brightening the under eye area and anywhere that you want that lift. I also love the fact that this does control shine but it doesn't completely kill your glow. So you're not going to get that chalky finish from this and you're not going to get that kind of like finish which ends up mattifying everything so much that you don't have any radiance in your skin.

So it's a really good way if you have any questions to ask me directly. So I'd love to see you over there on the paid version. The next product is something I feel like you know I've been using for so long and many years is the Dior Lip Maximizer. I use 001. This isn't just a gloss, it's a lip care product and it genuinely does work as that. It makes your lips look better, it makes your lipstick look better, whatever you end up putting on your lips for the day. It is genuinely hydrating. I use this every day once in the morning and I never have to reapply it and I've never dealt with dry cracking lips from it. It's collagen infused so I feel like you do get that very natural plumpness that comes through and it's not over the top. You don't get a tingling feeling, it's a very like a very good product which isn't ridiculous you know. It hydrates your lips, it keeps them smooth all day and it is the perfect lip base prep. My next product is the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray. I'm obsessed with this. I've even got the other one which is the Matte Blur now which is also really good if you have slightly oily skin but this is absolutely amazing. Not because I feel like it sets my makeup because I don't feel like it is enough to set makeup. I use this to dampen my beauty blender and it's a game changer. Like before I start blending my concealer I spray my beauty blender with this and then I start blending my beauty blend... my concealer sorry and it mixes perfectly, it blends perfectly. I also really love this to spray on top of my powder at the end once I've set it with my setting powder because it stops everything from looking too powdery. So it actually does melt the powder into the skin so it looks a bit more skin-like. It's one of the very few setting sprays that I trust for mature skin. I don't rely on it like I said to set makeup, I rely on it to kind of melt everything together. Honestly after your powder, one light mist all over and plus it's really a fine mist which is good so you don't get that kind of droplets all over, it transforms your kind of matte powdery makeup into skin-like, like a skin-like finish. It just basically ends up making your face look polished and it's a really good kind of spray to keep in your bag. They do a travel size as well just to kind of keep your skin quite hydrated through the day. So those are all of my makeup products that I feel were truly made for anyone in their 40s. The ones that work with your skin rather than against it and they're not headache, they're not products that are going to kind of like be too much for you you know. Some products just end up feeling and looking a little bit too much when you're in your 40s and these products I feel like were made for you. You don't need to adjust them, they just work so well with your skin. I feel like all of these products don't fight your texture fine lines or wrinkles, they actually work with it to be able to just disguise them, you know, without looking heavy. I really do hope you've enjoyed this. Don't forget everything is listed in my description so that you can click on the links and head straight to it and I will see you on the next video.
