Without seeing a single wrinkle, Brittany revealed that she learned all her beauty tricks from her aunt, as she has been her “skincare guru my whole life and taught me everything.”

Brittany Allyn, who splits her time between New York City and London, and her aunt Pamela, who lives in Seattle, Washington, are often mistaken for being much younger than they actually are.

The duo stress that you don’t have to spend a lot of money on expensive creams or treatments to stay youthful; their most effective beauty secrets cost just £5.

In an exclusive interview with Fabulous, Pamela said: “People usually put me in my 50s.

“They always ask me my secrets, and it’s quite simple: you just have to stay committed.”

Pamela, who always looks timeless, credits her youthful appearance to her disciplined yet simple beauty routine.

“I only wash my face once a day, in the evening, and in the morning I just splash warm water over it,” says the retired school teacher with over 35 years of experience.

“I’ve always used a simple facial soap similar to Neutrogena, followed by my favorite retinol lotion, specifically the ROC night cream.

Olivia Attwood raves about the budget-friendly ’10-10′ Boots foundation with a ‘premium finish’ that doesn’t crease.mov

“I apply it liberally to my face, neck and décolleté morning and night, making sure to cover the skin under my eyes and around my mouth.”

In a video on her TikTok page @thirtywaves, Brittany also revealed a four-step foundation method that gives the perfect ‘dewy glow’.

Brittany, a former tech marketer turned full-time content creator, mixes her moisturizer with a self-tanner.

She uses Clinique Surge Moisturiser Mixed, which costs £23.40 at Boots, with Saie’s Sunglow Drops, which costs £16 at Cult Beauty.

The moisturizer is water-based, which means your makeup won’t flake or separate.

Brittany also adds Typology glow drops, which cost £22.50 and help to ‘reflect the light’.

They also contain vitamin C and aloe, which provide the “perfect natural shine.”

Brittany’s third makeup product is the new Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Skin Foundation Stick, which costs £35 at beauty stores such as Sephora and John Lewis.

But if beauty fans “want more than just light coverage, the IT Cosmetics CC Cream, Medium +,” is a good option, according to Brittany.

It’s currently £15 at LOOKFANTASTIC.

Finally, Brittany finishes off her radiant look with her “world’s favorite bronzer.”

It’s a mineral bronzer called IDUN, costs £16.51 and is a “cool Swedish brand” that gives a perfect “Scandi glow”.

Her videos often get a lot of attention from beauty fans, with many quick to comment to ask questions and share their thoughts.

One asked: “How do you set it all? Do you use a spray or powder? This would melt off my face.”

Brittany replied, “I use a Charlotte Tilbury setting powder. And then the setting spray.”

Another added: “Ohhh that bronzer, I want to try it too.”

Brittany replied, “It’s so good and on Amazon!”

Commenting on Aunt Pam’s appearance, one person wrote, “What is wrong with me?!? We have Aunt Pam to do an anti-aging series.”

Another added: “Omgggg I need her whole routine. Scratch that I need her genes.”
