Supermodel Shares 3 ‘Life-Changing’ Makeup Tips For Women Over 50: Using Lipstick As A Blush, More

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.
