Coastal Grandmother Trend

Does the Coastal Grandmother trend sweeping social media have you totally re-assessing your life…and also feeling sort of relieved because this Y2K fashion. 

If you love hydrangeas, bucket hats, breezy button-downs, and a good Nancy Myers novel…you might be a Coastal Grandmother.

Believe it or not and you don't have to have grandchildren or even live near the beach to be a coastal grandmother! 

Think effortless stylish, put-together without trying too hard, great at hosting, and appreciation for the finer things in a life…without being stuffy.


Are you know considering you may want to aspire to be a coastal grandmother? 

Well if you also daydream of being Diane Keaton walking down the beach collecting shells (all while your hair is full of dry shampoo and you’re still wearing yesterday’s leggings!) you can feel like her for at least one day with this Coastal Grandmother makeup look! 

  Coastal Grandmother Makeup Tips

  1. First of all, you know coastal grandmothers protect themselves from the sun with all of their beach strolls and garden picnics. For this look, you want to pair a tinted sunscreen with little bit of concealer. The liquid foundation holds up so well during the heat, water splashes, and with sun protection. I tested it out yet again while in Jamaica!  


  2. While highlighters have been everywhere for the last few years, the Coastal Grandmother look tends to be more matte so apply a light dusting of translucent powder. The mineral veil can also help absorb that extra oil as well to reduce shine and give makeup longer staying power.

  3. Add a little color to the cheeks with a soft, light pink blush. And if you're over 40 you'll want in on these tips for applying blush ;)  

  4. Skip the overly done, dark brows and opt for groomed brows with a brow pomade applied. If you need tips to keep brows looking natural, grab the ultimate brow guide.


  5. Apply a light coat of mascara. Remember, coastal grandmothers never overdo it!


  6. Finish the look with a softly tinted lip, sort of a “your lips but better color!” Plus get ready for National Lipstick Day coming up in July with this flashback blog post.



Now if you're using makeup that could be considered grandmother because you've owned it so long it would be a great time to get a replacement. Makeup does go bad & can harbor lots of bacteria as well.
