Happy almost spring! I am so ready for the warmer temperatures and pops of color, I can’t even tell you. This is a fantastic time to have some fun with your makeup and play with all of the pretty pastel shades that are out right now. Wander Beauty was nice enough to send me some of their new spring makeup colors, so I thought it would be fun to create a pretty and easy spring makeup look with them. This look is age appropriate for women 40+ and easy to achieve at home. It is soft and youthful and so pretty.

In an effort to keep things real on here, I want you guys to know that I did not airbrush or alter these pics in any way, except to adjust lighting. What you see is me, wrinkles, rosacea, scars and all. I am a big believer in focusing on what you love about yourself and enhancing your features, NOT covering, concealing and altering your face.
You can wear pastels and shimmer if you are over 40, you just have to be careful with placement, so you don’t look like an easter egg. This look is perfect for easter brunch, a girl’s night out, or even date night. I give you step-by-step instructions and throw in some valuable tips and tricks along the way.
I apologize in advance, I am still learning to make these videos and find them a bit awkward at times. However, you guys asked for more tutorials, so here you go. In the interest of full transparency, I was not paid by Wander Beauty to do this video and post, but they were kind enough to send me these products as a gift. I have loved and shared their products on my blog for a long time and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to showcase some of their products. Their liquid shadows are also a big favorite that I mention in MY TOP 16 BEAUTY PRODUCTS OF 2018. Without further ado, here is the complete tutorial. Enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed this easy & pretty spring makeup look. Makeup should be fun and now is the perfect time to try something new and fresh for the warmer temps.
XO,
I am sure you’ve talked about this, but I am new to your blog, so I thought I would ask. Why do you not recommend putting highlighter or anything shimmering on your eyelid above the crease after age 40? It seems that a lot highlighters recommend it as a place put it (along with your cheekbones). Would you put any eye makeup in that spot? Thanks so much.
Hi Kat, Thanks so much for following along. Shimmer can really emphasize fine lines and wrinkles so we have to be careful. In general, I still highlight my brow bone and certain areas of my face, but I use a flat light shadow for that or a cream highlighter that has more of a gleam, no glitter or sparkles. Shimmer on the brow bone is a bit dated. I will chat about it more in my stories on Instagram so make sure you follow me there @thebeautyblotter.
Beautiful! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it.
This is a gorgeous look!
