Welcome to week three of my Makeover Series for Women Over 50! This week’s look is called Cinnamon Glow, and it’s a gentle reminder that you don’t always need bold colors or shimmer to make a beautiful statement.

This look features soft, neutral tones, all-matte eyeshadows, and powder liner for an understated, elegant finish that’s perfect for everyday wear or anytime you want to look polished without going over the top. It’s ideal for women with mature skin who prefer a more natural approach to makeup.

🍂 What Makes Cinnamon Glow Different?

This look is all about softness. We’re skipping shimmer, skipping eyeliner pens, and focusing on matte neutral eyes and nude lips. It’s ideal for daytime, professional settings, or for anyone easing back into makeup.

💄 Products & Shades Used

This look includes:

• Three matte eyeshadows in warm, cinnamon-inspired tones

• Powder eyeshadow used as eyeliner for gentle definition

• A soft, natural blush with a touch of glow

• A hydrating nude lip combo to complete the look

💡 Pro Tip: If your eyelids have texture or creases (as most do after 50!), matte shadows are your best friend. They add depth without emphasizing fine lines.

👁 Application Tips for Mature Eyes

Once again I am using Mary Kay products to complete this look. Cinnamon Glow is one of six combinations featured in Mary Kay's current makeover contest that runs from July 15 - August 31, 2025. For more information, contact your Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant or send me a messsage!

Here’s how to create this soft, everyday makeup look:

1. Matte Eyeshadow Trio – apply a medium matte brown shade (Hazelnut) all over the lid with an all-over eye shadow brush, then add a deeper brown (Cinnabar) in the crease using an eye crease brush, and finally highlight the inner corners and brow bones with a matte vanilla shade (Biscotti) using a smudger brush.

Love this combination? I have a special offer available in my private Facebook group.

1. Powder Liner – Instead of traditional eyeliner, apply a very dark brown (Espresso) matte eye shadow with an eye liner brush used above to line the eyes along both the top and bottom lashes, extending the shadow toward the end of your brows for a winged effect.

2. Brows & Mascara – Apply brows and mascara as you usually do. I used a precision brow liner in Brunette plus a brow tint (Brunette) and a natural-looking, definition mascara called Lash Love mascara in black for this look.

3. Cheeks & Lips – Add a touch of soft warm blush with a bit of shimmer (Shy Blush) using a traditional cheek brush along the cheekbones, and follow with a nude lip liner (Beige Nude) and a glossy blush lipstick (Supreme Hydrating lipstick in Hushed Blush).

💬 My Thoughts on the Look

This week’s look was a refreshing change from the drama of the previous two combos. Here’s why Cinnamon Glow might be your new go-to:

• Matte eye shadow tends to camouflage the texture on our eyelids. If you haven't ever tried it, do! However, I strongly suggest using an eyeshadow primer beforehand because matte shadow can be challenging to blend without it.

• This is the second time I've tried this peachy-pink shimmery blush and I just love it! It might surprise you too.

• Nude lips are always in. If you want to steer away from deep or bold colors, this is a great look for women over 50.

Cinnamon Glow enhances your natural beauty in a quiet, confident way.
