Go on YouTube and search for makeup over 40 or mature makeup and find someone with similar looks/skin tone for ideas. You should have a bunch to choose from. Also, there are tons of makeup artists on Facebook marketplace and styleseat who will come to your house or you can go to theirs for a private makeover. I wouldn’t go to a makeup counter either but have learned a ton of tips from YouTube and private makeup artists.

Evaluate your face and figure out what you want to enhance. My skin is pretty even now that my rosacea is controlled, so a tinted sunscreen is fine for a base. My brows are vanishing as I age, so I dye them with just for men beard dye. I wear a blush (liquid) and set it with a powder blush. Eyeliner just in my top lashes, and a couple coats of mascara. For eyeshadow, I mostly skip it but will put a little bronzer above my crease to make the hood from ageing less noticeable. Less is definitely more on me

You basically just need a natural look. A dark brown eyeliner and tan highlighter with a brown-black mascara will play up your eyes. Go more subtle on lips and blush (rose-mauve). With foundation, make sure you use a creamy foundation since it won’t accentuate fine lines and wrinkles. It Cosmetics is sold at Sephora and Ulta. It’s CC foundation has SPF already in it and makes you look more youthful. Bare Minerals also has a foundation with SPF. YouTube videos will help you out. I’m like you, I hate crowds especially during the holidays. The pushy sales people are a pain to put it nicely.

Good makeup artists on TikTok

there are lots of MUAs who do tutorials specifically for mature skin, you could watch a few of those to get an idea of what you might want to do. most of them recommend hydrating products, very light use of any powders, and not applying product with a light hand as to avoid cakiness.

start super simple. I give this advice to a lot of people who want to start wearing makeup; buy maybe 5 products (I recommend concealer, blush, mascara, lipstick, and brow pencil - your daughter could probably give you advice with what basics you should get) and learn how to use them well before you add anything else. my biggest mistake as a beginner was trying to run before I could walk and do things like elaborate eyeliner when I didn’t even own mascara.

I find I like skincare/makeup hybrid brands. Elta makes a good shaded sunscreen. And then at this age, I would use a lip oil, which is great for making your lips look and feel smooth. I like a Clarins, but I also like Brush on Block’s lip oil - has spf and my lips but better shades
