Makeup Over 40: What’s Worth Your Money & What’s Not

Self-care is worth investing in — but wasting money on beauty products isn’t.

In this episode of SugarMamma’s FIREPLAY, Canna sits down with celebrity makeup artist Mia to talk about beauty, money and how our makeup needs can change after 40.

As our skin changes through our 40s, perimenopause and beyond, the products and techniques that once worked for us may not work in quite the same way anymore. But that doesn’t mean we need to throw everything out, buy an entirely new makeup bag or spend hundreds of dollars chasing the latest beauty trends.

Mia shares her professional tips for looking and feeling great while being smarter with our beauty spending.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why makeup can start behaving differently on skin after 40

• How to use more of the makeup you already own

• The biggest makeup mistakes women over 40 make

• Budget beauty vs luxury makeup — where to save and where it may be worth spending

• How Mia would build a simple makeup kit on a $100–$150 budget

• The skincare basics that can help makeup look better on mature skin

• A quick five-minute makeup routine for busy women

• Multitasking products that can save money, time and bathroom space

• How to avoid wasting money on products you never use

• Why self-care and financial wellbeing don't have to compete with each other

Because being good with money isn't about never spending on yourself. It's about spending intentionally on the things that genuinely add value to your life.
