I'm a professional makeup artist and beauty expert who specializes in helping women 40+ navigate the skincare and makeup changes that come with peri/menopause.
I do this through my services and online program-->https://tinyurl.com/net6nn8e I help women transition to clean, green, Canadian beauty brands through online services and a green beauty store. Any company/product I share with you in my videos, blog and online shop comes from my personal experience with the product. If you want to connect, please send me a DM. I always welcome your questions!
One of the biggest makeup lessons I’ve learned over the years is that beautiful make up starts long before foundation.
As our skin changes, piling on more product usually is NOT the answer!
Hydration.
Strategic makeup placement.
Lighter layers.
And choosing products that work with your skin rather than trying to cover it 🤌🏼.
That’s the approach I use, and honestly, my makeup looks better because of it.
Because the goal isn’t perfection and heavily covered skin.
It’s looking healthy, radiant, and confident in the skin you’re in today 💖.
I’d love to know what’s the biggest makeup challenge you’ve noticed as your skin has changed.
Tell me below 👇🏼…
And drop any questions about the makeup look also 🥰.

After eight years of Ronnie Green Beauty Curator, I’ve tested hundreds of products.
Some were wonderful.
Some were trendy.
Some disappeared as quickly as they arrived.
But a handful earned something much more valuable: a place in my long-term recommend recommendations (and professional kit).
As I prepare for the next chapter of my business, I’ve been reflecting on what I’ve learned after nearly a decade of creating clean beauty products for women.
The truth is, the best products aren’t always the newest. They’re the ones you reach for again and again.
The ones you finish.
The ones you repurchase.
The ones that make your routine feel easier, not more complicated.
Swipe through to see what made the list 💛.
I’d love to know 👇🏼👇🏼
What’s one beauty product you’ve purchased more than once because it simply works ?
P.S. And yes, I still have these in stock if you want to try them for yourself but inventory is getting low and won’t be restocked once it’s gone.
Beauty content creation depends on the light it’s shot in to deliver.
Is it professional light vs daylight? ☀️
Yes, it makes all the difference on how the products look, both skincare and makeup 💄.
And of course it makes a difference when you take care of your skin 🥰.
I just wanted to show you a range of lighting today in my own way of keeping it real. My skin doesn’t look the same in every light.
Do not compare your face, skin, makeup to what you see on here 💖.
Instead…
If you’re over 40 ask yourself, “How does my skin feel? How does my makeup feel?” Get assistance if you need it 🫶🏼.

Seeing the finished product…✨
Never provides one with the full picture 🖼️!
This applies to many things on social media especially in beauty.
Never compare yourself to someone else’s “finished” product 💖.

I’ve spent the last eight years building a clean beauty store - working and promoting 🇨🇦 brands, creating products and helping women find what works for them ✨
And along the way, I learned a lot.
The beauty industry has changed.
It has become more saturated than ever.
More demanding.
More complex - for both brands and small business owners.
❤️I’ve seen incredible Canadian brands struggle to stay visible…and eventually disappear.
🧡I felt the pressure of constantly needing to promote.
💛I’ve experienced how challenging it is to sustain any commerce business behind the scenes.
And, I’ve also seen how many brands truly need support - but didn’t always have the resources to support them by bringing them on my shelves.
Through all of this, one thing became very clear to me:
My role was never just to sell the products (although if you read my Google reviews, you will know that’s not what I did 😌).
It was to help women understand their skin, simplify their routines, and feel confident in what they’re using.
And that’s the direction I’m moving towards now… I’m so close to revealing to you what I created earlier this year 🥰
If you’ve been following my journey, you probably know. What do you think it is? 😉
