A 103-Year-Old’s Unlikely Rise to Fame as Britain’s Oldest Influencer

A 103-year-old woman from Birmingham, Joan Patridge, has become an internet sensation on TikTok with her beauty tips and tricks.

Joan, a retired tram conductor, lives in Millcroft Care Home and shares her daily routine, including her makeup application, with the world.

One of her viral TikTok clips showed her applying blush, attracting almost 300,000 views.

Joan's beauty tips include not smiling while applying blush to avoid white lines, sweeping the skin to blend, and using less makeup.

She has since collaborated with a cosmetics company, Collection, as a brand influencer.

Collection has sent Joan a complimentary gift set, packed with blush, lip-gloss, and beauty pallets.

Joan joked that she is "too old to work," but is thrilled about the collaboration.

Her granddaughter said that Joan "really shocks me," as she's always up to mischief, even at 103.

Joan attributes her longevity to her nightly brandy habit and her approach to beauty being natural.

The 103-year-old influencer hopes to inspire the younger generation with her effortless style and continues to make tutorials on TikTok.
