The makeup techniques that work for you in your 20s, 30s and 40s may not work for you in your 50s and beyond.
According to one beauty enthusiast, middle-aged women might want to change the placement of their blusher.
Offering an over-50s beauty tip, Carey Pierce (also known as @fit.beauty.careypierce) said on TikTok: “Gravity’s already working its magic but we want to defy gravity.
“We were taught to put blush on the apples of our cheeks but when you have mature skin, you can’t do that anymore. It just drops your face down, it pulls your face down.”
When applying blusher, Carey advised women to smile, find the apple of their cheeks and then take the product ‘backwards’
