Spring Makeup Looks for Women Over 40
Spring makeup looks for women over 40 are all about fresh, glowing skin, soft colour, and subtle definition that enhances your natural beauty. As the season shifts, it’s the perfect time to refresh your routine with lightweight, breathable products that flatter mature skin and help you feel radiant and confident. This tutorial will walk you step-by-step through a spring-ready look using Adorn’s vegan, cruelty-free, Australian-made essentials. Created to nourish your skin while bringing out your best features.
Prep and Hydrate
Healthy, glowing skin is the foundation of any look especially for mature skin. Begin with a refreshing spritz of the Bulgarian Rosewater Hydrating Face Mist, infused with pure rosewater to instantly awaken and soften your complexion.
Next, apply the Peptide Moisturiser Makeup Primer. This multitasking product hydrates, primes, and smooths fine lines while creating a radiant canvas for foundation. Its peptide-rich formula supports skin resilience, making it ideal for women over 40 who want lasting hydration and makeup that feels seamless.
Even Out Skin Tone
For a flawless yet natural base, use the Full Cover Cream Foundation in ‘Medium Tan’. This hydrating stick foundation glides on smoothly, providing medium-to-full coverage without settling into fine lines. Blend it out using the Kabuki Foundation Brush for a professional, streak-free finish.

Brighten under the eyes with the Full Cover Mineral Concealer in ‘Light’. This creamy formula conceals dark circles and evens out discolouration without looking heavy.
Add a Radiant Glow
Spring is all about luminous, healthy-looking skin. Apply a touch of Mineral Liquid Illuminator in ‘Shade 03’ to the high points of your face: cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose for a natural radiance.
Define your features with the Mineral Cream Contour Stick in ‘Shade 01’. Blend with the Cream Makeup Brush to softly sculpt without harsh lines.
For extra luminosity, sweep on the Mineral Highlighter Makeup. Its buildable formula gives a fresh, springtime glow that flatters mature skin beautifully.
Lock It In
To blur fine lines and set your makeup, lightly dust the Miracle Blur Mineral Powder. This silky finishing powder helps smooth texture while keeping shine at bay—ideal for warmer spring days.
