PS Paula's Secret

PS Paula’s Secrets is a new make-up collection created especially for mature faces and ageing complexions.

Following extensive research, PS Paula’s Secrets is natural, mineral-based, Australian-made make-up that flatters and corrects, and is easy to use.

Frustrated with the surplus amount of beauty products for the younger market, Paula Nagel, along with business partner Kathrine Baulderstone, designed a make-up range that improves your look and greatly benefits mature skin.

The mineral base means it is lightweight, hypoallergenic and will give full coverage without caking.

The products available have been designed with the ageing skin in mind using natural ingredients such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which have anti-inflammatory properties.

About the products

“As I was getting older, I wanted to apply make-up that flattered and worked for me, but I found the products on the market didn’t sit well on my skin,” says Paula.

“This is why we’ve created PS. It’s make-up to empower older women and reflect their lifestyle for the women that they are now.”

“Age shouldn’t control how we look and every face is ageing every day. If you’re in your 50’s or 60’s and beyond and still following the same make-up regime from your 40’s, then you need to stop.

“It’s time to use products that work for you, not against you.”

Paula says the PS Illuminating Primer is a testament to Paula’s dedication to provide older women with high quality products.

The lightweight primer includes natural oils to enrich and keep the skin soft while

the illuminants reflect the light to give a natural-looking, youthful sheen. Designed to even out finelines, the tinted shade reduces blemishes and balances skin tones.

None of the PS line uses fillers, parabens, talc, or petrochemicals, and the products have not been tested on animals.
