In this tutorial (filmed live on Instagram) I show you two common makeup “mistakes” women over 40 are making with their makeup, and what to do instead … and why! I don’t really like the idea of mistakes… it’s makeup, it’s all about how it makes you feel, so if you’re loving what you’re doing and you’re doing these two things stick with it!
