Elle Leary – Instagram Post (March 18, 2026)

If your makeup has been looking a little heavy, flat, or like it’s sitting on top of the skin, it may not be the products. A lot of the time, it’s the blending. Today’s YouTube video is all about the makeup artist blending techniques I use to make cream complexion products look more seamless, more diffused, and much more skin like on mature skin. The biggest takeaway? Less product. More blending. Thin layers always win. This is the finished look from that video. You can watch the full tutorial on YouTube now, and I’ll link everything at Elleleary.com as well.
