Over 40? 20-Year Veteran Pro Makeup Artist Shares Her Technique for Making Skin Look Like Skin

In this video, I’m doing my best friend’s makeup (we are both over 40!) with a focus on creating skin-like makeup that looks natural and undetectable. As a professional makeup artist with over 20 years of experience in bridal, editorial, commercial, and everyday beauty, my goal is to show you how to make foundation, concealer, blush, and powder disappear into the skin to leave a real-skin finish instead of heavy, cakey makeup.

If you’ve ever struggled with your foundation looking obvious, patchy, or textured, this tutorial will walk you through how to apply makeup that looks like skin, not makeup. You’ll learn pro techniques for prepping the skin, choosing the right products, blending foundation, applying blush and bronzer for dimension, and finishing the look so the skin stays radiant, natural, and glowing.

Whether you’re a beginner looking for a no-makeup makeup tutorial, or someone who wants to master the your-skin-but-better look, this video covers everything from product selection to brush techniques that make all the difference.
