When it comes to aging gracefully, supermodel Paulina Porizkova is leading the charge with honesty, elegance, and an arsenal of game-changing beauty tips. In a recent YouTube video, the 59-year-old icon shared her go-to makeup tricks specifically designed for women over 50—focusing on glowing skin, natural color, and ease of use.
“These are the little things that make a big difference,” Paulina says as she walks viewers through her routine. From a fresh take on under-eye concealer to a genius blush hack, these tips are equal parts simple and transformative.
Here are her top 3 beauty tricks:
1. Apply Concealer Differently for a Softer Look
Instead of the traditional triangle of product under the eye, Paulina applies her concealer only in the crease directly under the eye, blending it out gently with a fluffy brush.
“I actually learned this trick from an influencer—he was a guy,” she laughs. “You just tap it in with a brush, and it blends beautifully. It’s subtle but makes a huge difference.”
She compares two formulas: the Estée Lauder concealer, which offers a more matte finish, and a Beauty Pie version with a sheer, light-reflecting texture. She even taps a little under her brow bone for extra lift. “It’s like an instant refresh for your whole face,” she adds.

2. Use Lipstick as Cream Blush
Paulina’s second tip is one of her favorites—and a major multitasking win. “Using your lipstick as blush? Total game-changer,” she says.
She swears by Estée Lauder’s ‘Stolen Heart’ (shade 669) as her secret weapon, applying it to both her lips and cheeks. “It gives such a natural flush and ties your whole face together,” she explains. “And the color just works beautifully.”
The trick here is tapping the lipstick onto the apples of your cheeks and blending it out with your fingers or a brush. The result? Youthful, cohesive, and completely fuss-free.
3. Bronzer and Blush for an Even Glow
As someone who avoids tanning her face to protect her skin, Paulina uses bronzer to even things out. She opts for a watery-textured bronzer by Laura Geller and applies it with a stippling brush from Sephora.
“This one looks super dark at first, but don’t worry—it blends so easily,” she says while demonstrating soft, sweeping motions across her cheeks and forehead.
She follows it with a matching cream blush stick, also from Laura Geller, applying it to the high points of her cheeks. “Blending is really important,” she emphasizes, showing off a natural, dewy finish. “It looks fresh, like your skin—just better.”
The Bottom Line
Paulina’s routine isn’t about heavy contouring or complicated steps. It’s about embracing what works, what feels good, and what enhances your features without hiding them. “My face is protected, it’s moisturized, and I’ve got SPF,” she says at the end of the tutorial. “And I feel like me—just a little more radiant.”
For women navigating beauty in their 50s and beyond, these three techniques offer a simple yet empowering approach: work with your skin, enhance your natural beauty, and never underestimate the power of a lipstick used right.
