Instant Facelift with Makeup Technique

Since I often share recommendations and tutorials, naturally my posts may contain affiliate links to the products I use and love. If you take action (make a purchase, for example) after clicking one of these links, I will earn a little coffee money, which I promise to drink while creating more helpful content for you.

Instant Facelift with Makeup

This instant facelift with makeup look is the fifth in my regular series of non-toxic makeup looks perfect mature skin. I just learned this technique and really love the end results. The visible lift is obvious. This is also currently my most popular Reel on Instagram, with almost 2 million views. Crazy.

I like to keep my makeup time well under ten minutes. This took about eight.

All Products used today for this instant facelift with makeup are non-toxic, cruelty-free.

For today’s instant facelift with makeup technique, I used:

Skin Twin Featherlight Foundation in light 230

Skin Twin Creamy Concealer in Light 1 for under eye brightness and cheek lift

I used the Better Beauty Blender to apply my foundation, concealer, and to blend the counter and highlight

Cream Blush in Hibiscus for cheeks, and lips 

Illuminating Cream Highlighter in Bronze Glow for cheek lift AND contour. I love our cream highlighters. They are so easy to use and are virtually foolproof.

Thrive Mascara

Eyebrow pencil in medium 

Universal Transforming Taupe Eyebrow Powder. I use this to set the pencil since I draw on my brows.

That is it. I really like this effect and am so thankful I can actually do it! LOL. Contour used to scare me. Not anymore. If it scares you, I’ve got you.

Want to make some makeup changes but feel overwhelmed? 

I know makeup application can seem daunting and color selection for foundations and concealer can be challenging, so thankfully there are resources on the website to help, like the shade finder resource, and the Flawless in Five set, which is how I got started, walks you through foundation, concealer, blush, and gloss suggestions.  You can see my Flawless in Five picks here.

For those of you who like a good before and after, this is our summer construction project: screened in porch and gas fire pit. 🔥

We have been outside more in the past two weeks than in the previous three years combined.

☀️The back is south facing and just too hot without the shade.

If you need me, you’ll know where to look. ☺️

Thank you, @aspen_outdoor_designs for helping us bring our vision to life. We are beyond thrilled. ❤️

I love these!

For size reference: I am 5 foot 5 (36 D) and weigh 180 pounds. I wear a large and it isn’t tight or loose. It is perfect. It is thin but not see through and great for layering!

Type TEE into the text box for a direct link to these tees.

I hope you will love them as much as I do.

This is a no fuss, barely there makeup look perfect for hot, sunny, summer days.

‼️Dual and triple purpose products are my faves. The cheek color is great for lips and lids and the tinted moisturizer is full of skincare ingredients and has spf, so it saves the need for additional skincare and a separate sunscreen. ☀️Never skip the sunscreen!

➡️Comment Cart for a direct link to the main 5 products used for this look.
➡️Comment Brows for a link to the brow powder
➡️Comment ALL for a link to everything, including my bracelets.

I was trying to record a reel, but Tater had other plans. 😻 I let her derail me because snuggles are important, too.
