“When I grow up, I want to be just as confident, modern, wise, and beautiful as her,” — that’s what any of us would say after seeing 103-year-old Joan Partridge, a retired woman from the UK. This remarkable lady stormed into the wild world of beauty and showed us how important it is to stay natural and feminine at any age — and how to do makeup the right way.
Joan lives in a care home in the town of Redditch, Warwickshire. That’s where she began filming videos of her beauty routine, with help from the nursing staff. One video, in which Joan does her makeup, went viral on TikTok, racking up over 300,000 views. And from there — it was like a fairy tale. Our heroine became a true influencer, and women everywhere began listening to her advice.
Despite her impressive age, Joan does her makeup every single day. Her favorite beauty product is blush. She recommends applying it gently and without smiling, to avoid white lines forming in the wrinkle areas. The elegant British lady also suggests using black eyeliner to create the appearance of fuller lashes.
Joan Partridge also knows the secret to longevity — and she’s happy to share it. She says a sip of brandy before bed has helped her live a long and happy life. Noted!
