Beauty Expert Breaks Down The ‘Reverse Lipstick’ Hack To Try If You’re Over 50

Why It Works for Mature Lips

As skin texture changes, traditional bold lipsticks can settle into fine lines. The reverse approach creates a hydrated, diffused finish that avoids that “overdone” look while still packing major impact.

“Don’t knock it ‘til you try it,” she says. “Bold color isn’t off-limits after 50—it just needs a modern technique.”

In her video, she takes aim at other common beauty myths women over 50 are told to follow—and dismantles them with unapologetic flair:

Sheen on mature eyes? Yes. In fact, she says it brings life to the face. Using her go-to lay bottled blonde shadow (not glitter, not sparkle—just luminous sheen), she proves that glow isn’t only for the young.Skip the eyeliner? “Absolutely not.” Her ultra-smooth velvet liner softly defines without dragging delicate lids—an essential for mature eyes.No red lips after 40? “That’s someone else’s fear of aging,” she says, not yours. Her power combo? The lipstick shade Confidence paired with Unapologetic liner.

From complexion prep with her hydrating Fiercely Smooth primer, to color correcting with Just Peachy, to blending in her BB Cream for a radiant-but-real finish, she walks viewers through a look that enhances, not masks, the face they’ve earned.

Her final touch? A dewy mist from Tatcha that gives her skin a luminous boost without feeling greasy—proof that glow is always in style, no matter your age.

She’s not just talking makeup—she’s rewriting what aging beautifully really means. “Do what your face tells you. Not what someone on YouTube tells you.” The reverse lipstick hack is more than just a technique—it’s a mindset shift. One that says your beauty doesn’t have an expiration date. So go ahead—wear the shimmer, define your eyes, rock that bold lip. And maybe try it in reverse. Just for fun.
