Easy Makeup & Beauty Gifts for Mature Skin

This post is sponsored by Revant Cosmetics. I only highlight and share products that I use and truly love. Thank you for supporting the brands that support Empty Nest Blessed!

If you caught my August post on The Best Eyeliner for Mature Eyes Over 50, you already know how much I adore finding clean, easy-to-use makeup that flatters mature skin. Today, we’re taking that one step further—with a look at a few more makeup favorites that are not only simple and flattering but also make fantastic gifts!

Whether you’re treating yourself (because yes, you deserve it!) or looking for a thoughtful gift for your sister, best friend, or daughter-in-law, these pro-age beauty picks make it easy to glow this holiday season. And as always, they’re made with mature women in mind—no harsh lines, cakey finishes, or complicated steps required. (That’s a huge win in my book!)

Revant Cosmetics: Beauty For Mature Skin

Revant Cosmetics creates makeup specifically for mature skin. Their products are thoughtfully formulated for women 40 and beyond, with a focus on skin that’s evolved with time—softer, more delicate, and deserving of gentler care.

Here’s what I think makes their line so special (and so giftable!):

• Clean, gentle ingredients – vegan, cruelty-free, and free of parabens, sulfates, and fragrance.
• Soft, blendable textures – no tugging, pulling, or product settling into fine lines.
• Simple, elegant packaging – perfect for gifting or travel.
• A curated collection of essentials – instead of releasing dozens of products, Revant focuses on just a few that work beautifully for mature skin.
• A generous 60-day Happiness Guarantee – just in case your recipient wants to try a different shade!

When a brand makes beauty this effortless and kind to skin, it’s a gift in itself. Amirite? 🎁 Here are a few that I’m gifting this year.

The Glow & Go Blush Stick

If you’ve ever struggled with powder blushes settling into fine lines and emphasizing dryness or texture issues, this creamy Glow & Go Blush Stick is a dream come true. It adds a soft, natural flush that makes mature skin look radiant and alive.

Why You’ll Love It

• Soft-focus finish: Gives skin a natural, lit-from-within glow without shimmer.
• Buildable color: One swipe for a subtle flush; more for bolder color. (I love that!)
• Effortless application: Swipe, blend with fingertips, and go.
• Perfectly portable: Slip it into your purse for easy touch-ups on the go.

Available in shades like Dusty Rose (my fave), Magenta Pink, and Deep Merlot, it’s flattering across all skin tones and textures. And yes, it’s the kind of product you’ll want to gift and keep for yourself!

Suzy’s “Pro” Blush Tip

I’m not a “pro” by any means, but here’s what I know: Remember that old “smile and dab color on the apples of your cheek” trick? That isn’t really the best idea when you’re over 50! When you smile and apply blush to the apples of your cheeks, thanks to a loss of elasticity with age, that blush can sit too low. Instead, find the high point of your cheekbone, then blend your blush up and out towards your temples.

The Precision Eyebrow Pencil

If your brows have thinned with age (hello, hormones!), the Precision Eyebrow Pencil will be your new best friend. It fills, defines, and shapes without ever looking harsh or heavy.

Why I Think It’s a Must-Try

• Ultra-fine tip: Creates realistic, hair-like strokes.
• Built-in spoolie: Blends color beautifully for a natural finish.
• Smooth formula: No waxy buildup or stiffness.
• All-day wear: Keeps brows defined through errands, workouts, and date nights.

It’s the perfect addition to a beauty gift set—or a small “thinking of you” treat for a friend who loves makeup.

Suzy’s “Pro” Brow Tip

It’s no secret that, as we age, brows naturally thin and start to lose definition, especially at the tails. To bring lift and balance back to your face, try light, feathery strokes to fill in sparse areas. Focus a bit more on the arch and the outer third of your brow. Then use the spoolie to brush upward, blending upward and outward for a soft, natural look that instantly lifts your face. (I’m all about an instant facelift!)

Why These Are Perfect for Mature Skin and Gift Giving

Both the blush stick and brow pencil (not to mention the BEST eye pencils on the planet!) share what I love most about pro-age beauty: they’re easy, flattering, and they make an immediate difference. They work beautifully for women at every stage of life, and they make thoughtful, fun gifts too.

1. Easy to use: No complicated techniques or tools required.
2. Universally flattering: Shades that work on all skin tones.
3. Practical luxury: We’re talking high-quality products at reasonable prices.
4. Pretty packaging: Simple, elegant, and ready to wrap.

Whether you’re building a “self-care gift basket” for your girlfriends or adding something special to your own makeup bag, these small gifts are so thoughtful, and they make a big impression.

My Final Thoughts

As we move into the season of giving (and glowing!), I can’t think of a better way to simplify your beauty routine—or delight someone you love—than with makeup that celebrates mature skin. These creamy, blendable formulas are made to help women over 40 look and feel their best, with minimal effort and maximum joy.

Pair them with the Gel Pencil Eyeliners I shared in my last post, and you’ll have a thoughtful, giftable trio that any woman in your life would adore—especially the ones who believe aging is something to celebrate. 💕
