Author: Amy Sherman | Beauty Creator April 17, 2025 Duration: 50:30

In this episode, we had the pleasure of welcoming Kate Talbert, a talented self-taught makeup artist and beauty educator, who specializes in simplifying beauty for women over 40. Kate shared her inspiring journey from being a kindergarten teacher to discovering her passion for makeup, which blossomed during her time at home with her children.


We dove into the common makeup mistakes women over 40 often make, emphasizing the importance of understanding one's skin type and undertones. Kate provided invaluable tips on how to achieve a fresh, youthful look by focusing on skincare and using makeup in lighter layers. She also discussed her favorite makeup products for mature skin, highlighting some lesser-known brands.


Throughout our conversation, we explored various techniques for eye makeup, Kate's go-to products and methods for achieving a dewy, radiant complexion without looking greasy.

As we wrapped up, we engaged in a fun quick-fire round, where Kate shared her favorite beauty hacks and her quick makeup routine for busy mornings. Her warm and inviting approach to beauty left us feeling empowered and excited to experiment with our own makeup routines.
