If you’ve been wanting to learn how to do a simple day to night makeup look, but you’re frustrated because all you keep finding on YouTube are 20-somethings who pile on theatrical looking makeup, you’re finally in the right place!
In this video Day to Night Green Beauty Makeup Tutorial for Women Over 40 I walk you through how to achieve a soft evening makeup that doesn’t require major makeup skills or an hour to do.
I’m all about giving you real-life makeup tips with natural and organic beauty products that work, especially if you’re over 40 years old young.
If you’re like most of my clients, and you believe less is more, and enhancing is better than masking your face, then you’re going to love this easy nighttime makeup tutorial I made for you in partnership with Navago – an online retailer specializing in green, ethical, clean, indie beauty brands.
So in the before and after photos, you see that Jill’s transformation is subtle, but it’s sophisticated, realistic and (most importantly) do-able.
If you’re curious about the natural, organic makeup and skin care we used, you can find it at this link. Also each item is detailed below.

Jill is wearing a basic makeup look at the start of the video and in this before photo. Before filming we applied the kinds of things most women, who do a 5-minute makeup before they rush out the door, put on: foundation and/or concealer, a sheer lipstick and a little mascara.Click the products below for more info and to buy:

GREEN BEAUTY PRODUCTS USED FOR THE NIGHT LOOK
You’ll notice in the video the after looks a little different on the white background. So I thought it would be a nice touch to switch the ambience to an evening effect that gives you a better understanding of how the makeup would translate in softer, warm light at night.

PRO TIP
Keep in mind that the lighting you need to see best in when you’re doing your own makeup may be very different (brighter and cooler toned) than the environment you’ll be out in. So check yourself in different lights once you think you’re done with your makeup, and adjust from there.
