Makeup Over 40: What’s Worth Your Money & What’s Not

Makeup Over 40: What’s Worth Your Money & What’s Not

Self-care is worth investing in — but wasting money on beauty products isn’t.

In this episode of SugarMamma’s FIREPLAY, Canna sits down with celebrity makeup artist Mia to talk about beauty, money and how our makeup needs can change after 40.

As our skin changes through our 40s, perimenopause and beyond, the products and techniques that once worked for us may not work in quite the same way anymore. But that doesn’t mean we need to throw everything out, buy an entirely new makeup bag or spend hundreds of dollars chasing the latest beauty trends.

Mia shares her professional tips for looking and feeling great while being smarter with our beauty spending.

In this episode, we cover:

Why makeup can start behaving differently on skin after 40

How to use more of the makeup you already own

The biggest makeup mistakes women over 40 make

Budget beauty vs luxury makeup — where to save and where it may be worth spending

How Mia would build a simple makeup kit on a $100–$150 budget

The skincare basics that can help makeup look better on mature skin
