A 43-year-old woman has been hailed for sharing her simple makeup tricks that make her look 20 years younger.
Tammy Weatherhead, who is known as @tamsskyn on TikTok, has shared the three products she uses to achieve a youthful glow. She said: “I’m 43 and I’m going to show you how to make your face look more youthful because it’s your makeup.”
Tammy says the ‘less is more approach’ works wonders as layering on concealer, foundation, bronzer, blush, and other products can have the opposite effect. She adds: “Always do your skincare before your makeup because dewy skin is what is going to give you that glow. You’re going to get rid of any full coverage foundation. We don’t want that. You’re only going to wear a tinted sunscreen that’s going to give you a light coverage and a nice little glow.”
She says you only need to use concealer in areas that actually need them – with the under eyes usually being one of those. “Blend with your finger because it’ll give you a more natural finish,” she said. “Then a cream blush just to make your face glow.

“You’re going to apply the same colour on your cheeks, nose and lips. The only part you’re going to set is underneath your eyes and maybe your nose and cupid’s bow.”
Commenting on her video, one user said: “Yes I’m 43 too! I never wear a full coverage foundation! But I do wear a bb cream just to even out my skin tone.” While another user added: “I have similar routine but how do you not come off as looking oily instead of glowy.” A third user said: “What, 43? You look under 30.” Another user said: “Wow. You look so young.” A final user added: “Girl, I thought you were 35.”
In a seven-day video series, Tammy explains how she achieves dewy skin through cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturising her skin. On day one, she concentrates on exfoliating the skin before turning her attention to ‘actives’ on day two.
From there, she switches between hydrating her skin and following the tretinoin and buffer method until the week comes to an end. Commenting on her method, one user said: “You’re in your 40s! I thought you would be 20.” Another user added: “I’m 22 and I think I have more wrinkles than you. You look amazing.” One more user said: “Freaking gorgeous. If I was standing in front of you, you would get a bow.”
