I’m blessed to say that I will be married 48 years in just a few days, and an 11 year cancer survivor. I use several shades of Maybelline Fit Me Concealer as a light foundation. It definitely is an adventure finding new and wonderful products. Have a beautifully blessed week my friend and thank you for your lovely videos. ✝️🌷
I’m a woman of color and I’m pleased to see the spectrum of skin tones that makeup manufacturers now offer in drugstore and department store brands. My favorite drugstore foundation is by Black Opal. I either purchase in the store or order on Amazon.
Oh yes! You are so pretty! It's heartbreaking ot think how long you had to wait before makeup had more then 4 shades...Milani being one of the worst offenders! Makeup is fun and I always say you do'nt just paint your face, you paint your attitude!!! Love to you! Susan
I didn’t love and lose when you get two beautiful children out of it ! I am blessed! As far as love it was lost but if it’s meant to be with love again it’s just the icing on the cake! Life is good! 🙏❤️
Run your AC for an hour or so before you record your video at a lower temperature to cool your apartment down. Love the 80's shot of you! It's a toss-up regarding how much makeup I wear compared to my younger self. Less concealer, eyeliner and lighter shades of blush, eyeshadow and lipstick. But I now wear brow pencil, highlighter and contour/bronzer. Blessings to you and Desi from Midas and me.
Always look forward to all your videos and visiting you and Desi! I am 71 and I use as much makeup as I did when I was young. I am always looking for something to keep improving my skin. I hope I never loose that.Have a wonderful week. Thank you!
I'm 63 and I hardly ever wear makeup anymore. I started wearing makeup when I was 12. I use Merle Norman then Esteem Lauder. I was the type of person that couldn't go to the grocery store or Post Office without makeup on. I retired when I was 62. A few months before I retired I got my eyeliner top and bottom and my eyebrows tattooed on. I absolutely loved it. Now all I do is put lipstick on and out the door I go. I wish I would have tattooed my eyes when I was younger. Love your videos. Keep up the great work.
Flossy, please continue to “do you” !! I love that sassy attitude!! I am the same age as you and feel more confident about myself than I ever did in my youth! I wear as little or as much makeup as my mood and time constraints dictate. And I never let society’s “rules of aging” set my standards. If they had their way, (as a woman in my sixties) I should go climb under a rock and be forgotten. Unmmm....No way, no how! I use my voice and my makeup brushes equally to state otherwise!! And have lots of fun all the while!!😉
I wear less make up on a daily basis, but glam it up on special occasions.The song, "The Dance", sums it up for me...I could have missed the pain ,but I'd have had to miss the dance. Love to you and that Darling Desi!!!
I miss the 80s makeup, clothes and sheer hose with heels! Those movies are my top 2 for sure! Both reflect periods in my early years. I was in love with two men and did the right thing, worked on my marriage which sadly ended anyway after 23 years. He was the love of my life--we just didn't know how to be good spouses to one another as we grew up. If life's twists and turns brought us together again I would welcome it.
Wonderful video again 💜 I wear more makeup now at 49 than ever before. It makes me feel confident and put together. If I don’t wear much people ask me if I’m unwell 😅 so even my ‘no makeup makeup’ is still quite a bit more than I ever wore as a younger woman. I have shadows and redness to hide, contours to try put back into my face shape, mascara and eyeliner to make my eyes stand out a little and look less tired, and blush to make me look alive and youthful! …. But it’s a self care process I enjoy and I do it for me ☺️💕 My favourite products right now on my paler winter skin (I’m in the Southern Hemisphere) are bronzer and blush. I never used to be a bronzer fan but boy I am now. My favourites right now are and Anastasia’s bronzer in the rosewood colour, and Jouer blush duo in Rose Gold. Both a little more expensive but worth the splurge for me xx
Thank you! I look forward to seeing your videos each week. They are always beautiful just like you ❤️. Have a blessed week can’t wait to see you again soon!
Another sweet video Susan! You are such a highlight on my weekend! You are as lovely as ever, may I ask about your pretty black print blouse that you were wearing? I still wear the same amount of makeup as when I was younger (I'm 63) I just choose to wear different finishes to enhance my current skin type and coloring. Hugs and Blessings to you and Desi!
I've never been one who really liked makeup but I started wearing it when I started having age spots. I dropped it entirely when we were wearing masks and I'm starting to pick it up again. I have to thank you for the wet and wild hydrator it is amazing! It's like magic it absorbs into the skin and yet it gives a light coverage it's absolutely perfect for me
Yes definitely wearing more makeup. When you are young you can get away without much but with sun damage and skin imperfections makeup is a great help. I actually bought more skincare products and new makeup during the lockdown and my husband noticed & commented how good I looked. It pays to make an effort even if it is just for yourself.
THE 80S AND 90S WAS THE BEST MAKEUP AND HAIR STYLES AND THE BEST DRESS CLOTHES IN MY TIME,MISS THEM ALOT,AND I STILL DRESS LIKE JEIL ON HOME INPROVEMENT,GOD BLESS YOU,AND YOU ARE SHOWING THAT JOY YOU HAVE IN YOU.
70 next year and have learnt to apply my makeup like a professional thanx to UA-cam - far better than my much younger years. Have fun experimenting and still get excited every time I purchase a new lippie or pallet mainly drugstore Susan u're looking absolutely beautiful - figure clothes hair and makeup. Stunning! Thank u and Mr. D for the fantastic video
Fun video Susan , I’m pretty limited on makeup I don’t use much . I think when we love with all our being and we lose that love , the pain of that loss if we survive it gives a rebirth of something beautiful, I believe a whole new heart and soul shows it self . My makeup routine has not changed, I wear very little I’m 71 , I just try to be my best self with my bronzer and mascara in hand :)🌷
The Way We Were is one of my fav of favs! When I was young I went once by myself & stayed through 2 showings! Now that I am older I no longer wear makeup on a regular basis like I used to. Only when I am going somewhere or someone is coming over, and now when I do I use a bit of a lighter touch & almost always leave out the eyeliner! Plus after all these years, a year or so ago my husband randomly told me I was pretty also without makeup, which was a shocker, because he never says anything like that!
Susan, I wear less makeup but do a lot more skincare. In fact, you introduced me to my first ski care oil - Rosehip seed oil and I still use it often. Thank you!! Now. As makeup goes as I age I focus on using eyelid primer, eye liner, simple eyeshadow, etc. I like how I look and feel when I make the effort.
Hi! Just had to tell you that I enjoy watching your videos. Something about you makes me feel calm and always puts a smile on my face. The last 6 years have been very difficult, to say the least. I lost my father in 2015, my brother in 2018,, and my husband in 2019 (the love of my life). I have been in the hospital and a rehabilitation facility, which I was discharged in Nov. 2020. It's a long story, maybe I'll share it with you one day. I am thankful for each and every day, I am thankful that I can walk and have resumed a "normal" life again. Some days are still difficult but the majority are good. But like I said...watching you puts a smile on my face Thank you for sharing so much of your life.
Good morning Sue! I watched you first thing yesterday morning as I sipped on my delicious coffee. I definitely wear less makeup now than I use to. Enjoyed seeing your drugstore makeup faves! You did a perfect job on your 80's makeup. Boy, those were the days. When Julia Roberts said "I would rather have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special," it stuck with me. Many blessings, and love to you, and The Dapper Dez...Mimi
I butchered that quote but I had the right idea I think! I had so much fun, Mimi, doing that crazy makeup...I realized that for years I have lost my joy in wearing makeup because of all the " rules" for us over 60...I want to fix that mindset I have and have fun again. I always loved your makeup and my favorite look on you was your TWIGGY Look!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to go back and watch that again!!!! I want to pick out a model I loved and try to match her makeup! Love you! Sues
Your new green pillows are Magical with the Tiffany lamp lit!!! Perfect match from where I'm sitting!!! And Love the precious planters on your coffee table! Gorge! OMG...Milani used to make THE MOST GORGEOUS GLOSSES!!!!!! But Now I have all their baked blushes with highlight built in. Love. But...Looking for couple years now for a creamy blush that L'oreal used to make. They were Beautiful. Light and shimmer built in! To Die For! But discontinued! Oh how I love talking Decor and Skin care and Makeup! And, Susan did you know that it is the Hottest thing Going Right now, but Thrifting is The Only way to shop these days! Home decor items and furniture, Collectibles, Jewelry, all the fun stuff. even consignment shops are BIG again! And Poshmark, Thredup, etc. But yard sales, Estate sales, Goodwills, Salvation Army, You name it. And I've been LOVING it! I don't know why nor how it's Come back but it's come back as a Chiqe thing to do! I can't ever remember when its been known as Chiq! (Sorry, my spellcheck is OFF and I don't know how to get it turned back ON! ) And I studied French for 5 years! I'm slowly losing my memory! See you and Desi next week, Godwilling. Love you both SO MUCH!
Yep so important to really love someone. Knew my late husband for barely two years and married for 9 months before he died. Wouldn’t have missed him for anything in the world! Yes I wear less makeup. But still enjoy wearing some every day for fun.
A gorgeous new find in foundation at Amazon is Missha BB Cream, $9 for a large tube. It has good spf and is hydrating with the perfect level of luminosity. I am challenged in finding shades thst are not too yellow or peach I'm a cool fair and can wear either 21 or 23 in Missha. For summer I am.mixing it with a tinted suncreen as it so moisturizing, but in winter it will be perfect on its own.
Nina Johnson I understand. Lost both my husband and, later, my fiance. But, I was truly loved by both of them, and, I knew what it was to love someone. 💖
Well, I turned 90 in March, but I still wear foundation, bronzer, blush, eye shadow,liner and 2 coats of mascara anytime I leave the house! Don’t really have any holy grails, as all the creators have me trying products they like. Only the mascara is a holy grail and that is IT superhero, 2 coats of that and you can fly! I am with my 3rd and last (3rd times the charm) husband of 30 years and a happy camper. I do agree, it’s better to have loved and lost etc., etc. hugs, Senior diva 🤗
The best makeup tip I ever received was when I turned 40. My cousin, a makeup artist for professional dancers, told me : no eyeliner on the bottom after 45 because it pulls your whole face down. It’s so aging. I see older women do the black eyeliner “raccoon” look. 😬
I LOVE your 80's look! So cute! Ooh, the memories of the 80's! I now definitely go waaaaay lighter with my make up...but I do have a problem with my eye pencil, which tends to smear....so my question for you is, you say you use a powder on your eyes...What kind of powder? Do you put it on before you draw on the pencil? I think you said you put on the powder after you put on the pencil. If you could either demonstrate OR explain would be helpful. Thanks.
1986!!! The year I graduated High School!!! Sometimes I forget how old I am😂... Last week I was visiting my Son and Daughter in law in Denver... I live in Nebraska... We went to ULTA and had a blast looking at makeup... My daughter in law and I LOVE makeup... We had so much fun!!! Thank you for always talking about makeup... It's still so much fun to shop for.... No matter how old us girls are😍
Desi just cracks me up with that underbite! Gotta love him! I probably wear about the same amount of makeup now that that I'm 65. I use clinique mostly, but also some Lo'Real & just found this brand called fie`ra. I ordered the luxury concealer, I must say it is the best concealer I have used. You can use it as a primer too. Works great. About love..... I found the love of my life. We were together almost 5 years. Got engaged, then he was diagnosed w' stage 4 lung cancer. He lived 7 months. That will be 3 yrs ago in Nov. He gave me an eternity in the numbered days. I will always be grateful.
Thank you for this great video. I loved your eighties make-up look and so did my husband. I remember Revlon Silver City Pink, Bonne Bell lip smackers, and Loreal eye shadow in a plum shade.
Sues, that 80s look that you are calling it, well, I think you should rock those colors now. I cannot think of one good reason for you not to. And girl, I'm older than you are, and I'm sort of going for a little more dramatic of a look than I did when younger, so I guess I'm going backwards, right? But all this to say, you looked absolutely beautiful. I may not wear much foundation, but I'll make up with a little more blush and a dramatic eye look. And if the makeup police don't like it, they can sue me....😂😂😂💕👀👀👄💅🥂💄👠
@@viannam5483 . I second that!!!! LoL. I have dark red hair so I have to be careful of the reds I use but I still intend to use them and it seems that I look less frumpy or washed out when I do use the deeper colors. I look ridiculous in nude lipstick....😂. So please give us the lip and cheek colors Sues and maybe the eyeshadow too, the colors when you had on the fur collar....all I can say is va va voom!!!! Movie star look!!!! Give em up.... We want colors!!!! 😂😜💄👠💅
I loved this video! I’m definitely going to try a few of the makeup items you spoke about. The photo of you at then end in black & white is gorgeous. You need to get that printed and framed...... I need help with under eye bags and refuse surgery. Think I’ll try the L’Oreal Eye Match but how in the world do you know what shade to get? And you said you need a concealer on top of it? .
💐 You always look so happy when you wear the 80’s makeup! Why not just wear it??? 😊. You are beautiful in it! Just ask Desi, I bet HE would agree! 💄👠👛💕🌸👍
I love when the rain comes down hard. It must be such a blessing to have a balcony. I lived in the same apartment complex years ago. I had a different apartment. I loved my patio. I had my chairs & a little table out there. The apartment I’m in now the patio slopes down. I can’t go out there at all. No more chairs or table. Since I can’t get out I never go to a drugstore. My girlfriend will go if we need anything. I’m desperately trying not to buy anymore makeup. I’ve bought so much over the years. I only end up using certain palettes all the time. I keep decluttering but still have too much. Now there’s palettes I just can’t give up. Yet I barely wear makeup. Only when I go out which is very infrequently. I’m still tempted by Huda Beauty eye palettes. I did buy three small ones during the Sephora sale. Your 80’s makeup was over the top. The blush was so much. The one drugstore makeup product I love is Maybelline Age Rewind Dark Circle Erase Treatment. I think that’s right. I only use that for my under eyes. See you next week. Love you, Lucy
I don't even remember how I did my makeup in the 80s! LOL I know I plucked my eyebrows very thin. I know I used a Raisin named lipstick but I'm not sure what the brand was. But, I do know that I loved the makeup, fashion and hairstyles of the 80s. I had it going on!! LOL It was my first decade as an adult and I lived it up.
This was such a great video! Loved your 80’s look! I wear more natural makeup tones now… peachy tones…softer eye makeup… and play around with lip colors for fun! Thank so much for making Saturday something to look forward to!!!
Interesting perspective on those movies. 💌 I believe.... "Nothing was meant to be ours forever, just borrowed" SkH Those movies represent the challenges in life, letting go. Not getting a happy ending you thought. But persevering. Finding love and contentment without a somebody. Being at peace with what life doesn't give us.letting go of expectations. And enjoying the ride till it ends. 🙏
I wear quite a bit more makeup now, but less often. Since I started watching UA-cam videos like yours and others, I learned about bronzer, high light, transition shades, tight lining, etc etc. I had a lot of catching up to do. Now it takes me 2 hours to get ready☺️
I’m 69 and yes thanks to UA-cam I’ve become a makeup lover! I wear more now than ever and it makes me feel sassy and classy. Same with fashion. All those videos have helped me a lot.
Yamma Susan, I live in the Central Australian desert, and I miss torrential rain so much. Thanks so much for including rain in this video. You also teach me so much, not just about ageing with courage, grace, humour and resilience but how to look our best doing it. Thanks for all you do with your channel. I am going to try the Physicians Friend product. I wear more makeup now, but it looks like less. I didn’t wear contour or highlighter 10 years ago, but now they are my friends. LOL
I have the same issue with my noisy AC...and we’re going on over a week in the upper 90s! I get pretty “glowy” LOL! The rain was lovely. You rocked your 80s look! SO fun! Wonderful favs...Boz and I sending love to you and Desi ❤️
Thank you so much for being here Tamera! It gets HOT HOT HOT! I think what I may have to do is film on 3 different days!!! Love to you and yours always!!!
Hey my lovely yt Sis! I have been having a marathon of your beautiful videos! You are such a beautiful soul an I so enjoy your videos! I love your blouse your makeup goodies and your humor, lol. Beautiful plants and your beautiful fur baby! I wear less makeup now because of the mask I figure it doesn't matter, lol. TFS! Hugs, Love & Many Blessings! 💕💕💕🏡🏡🏡
I love my makeup and bath time. It lifts my spirits getting fixed up even when I have no where to go. Part of taking care of myself and making myself feel my best everyday. I love your Cadillac! I have an almost identical one in pearl white. We call the car "Fancy." I also have a little dog to keep me company, my poodle Bougie. I don't know what I would do without him. Thank you for your videos, I enjoy them!
I am a makeup connoisseur. I have been since Jr high school. I was the one of our friend group who taught all our friends all about makeup and hair. 1984 graduate here. I've dabbled in makeup artistry all of my life. I've done weddings, proms, pageants, makeup for country music videos shot in Nashville, TN, you name it. I have just always loved it. Now that I'm 55 I wear so much less than I used to. I wore a full glam face every single day until I got to be in my mid 40's. Then I just kept cutting back. I wear mainly concealer, waterproof mascara (the Maybelline Sky High waterproof is amazing btw), a small wing eyeliner and sometimes red lipstick, but always at least a gloss. I may warm up my face with a lil bronzer, but I rarely wear eyeshadow, highlight, contour, or foundations. It's just to hot where we live. I live in the deep south where the humidity is brutal. But yes, the answer to your question is yes I wear a lot less makeup in my 50's. Your 80's makeup challenge was done beautifully today! Oh how I miss those times!! Another great video girlfriend!
I mentioned this before, and maybe many have seen this, but the movie "All That Heaven Allows" is a beautiful older film about the evolution of a mature woman and what she wants in life. It stars Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman. The photography is incredible.
At my age (71) I find myself using more skin care than make-up. I used to be big on all the latest make-up, but found it wasn't doing my skin a favor. Now, healthy oils, retinol, moisturizers and lots of cleansing....and sunscreen. My friends are complimenting me on my healthy skin. Thanks Susan for your help. Hi Desi!
I love makeup! Always have, always will! It has changed some as I age. I don't contour or put on lashes and sometimes I just wear one eyeshadow. But when I leave the house my face is done! I'm loving a lot of K beauty products because they are both reasonably priced and use great ingredients. Drug store brands I still love are Loreal Voluminous Mascara, Loreal Lipstick in Spiced Cider and Revlon lip liner in Sienna. And for dry skin I think there is nothing better to remove makeup than Ponds Cold Cream. I loved your 80's makeup. What a great time in our lives that was! I agree there is no loved and lost. To love and be loved, even for a short time, leaves memories that can be enjoyed. I refuse to dwell on the bad but just remember the good times. Love changes as we age. It isn't the hot passion and burning desire of youth. Still it is good with more of a slow burn and trembling heart. Our experiences allow us to grow stronger and become more independent. And, we aren't dead yet so there is still time for one more dance...or perhaps three or four!
You're definitely rocking the 80's vibe Susan. I absolutely love it on you! Don't cheat yourself....wear it more often! It takes 15 years away from you....
Hi Susan, in the 1980's I used to wear full coverage foundation, deeply contoured blusher, triple eyeshadows, mascara, eyeliner and lipstick. I would not leave the house without it all on. Even when I was at home full makeup minus the lipstick. Plus my hair was always layered and curling tongs were part of the process. Now I wear much less makeup. When at home I wear no makeup and when I am going up town visiting etc I wear only foundation and lipstick. First I cleanse with a tiny bit say half a centimeter dot of Antipodes Juliet Skin Brightening Gel Cleanser and a little water to foam in hands and lather face, warm face cloth off and pat dry. Then I use a centimeter of Antipodes BaptiseH2O Ultra-Hydrating Water Gel, a little goes a very long way with both. I use Living Nature foundation to face spreading lightly with fingers. Then Living Nature illuminating foundation on cheeks sides of face sometime I mix them and use together. These are both a liquid cream foundations and are lovely. I have lash extensions my daughter does for me and its best not to wear any eye makeup with them as it causes them to not last long. The lashes are stunning I just love them just like that. So from heaps of makeup to streamlined basics with luscious lashes that's me.
First I must say Susan you were absolutely beautiful in this video - I loved the top you were wearing! I didn't even notice any puffiness from the dental work. I have just had 2 root canals on my left side of my mouth so I know how you are feeling. I think I still wear the same amount of makeup now at 56 as I did at 21! I just apply it a little differently with a lighter hand. I love the Revlon ColorStay Matte Foundation, the Revlon ColorStay eyeliner in black, and the Revlon Candid HD loose powder. Those I have to always have in my makeup bag. I use a wide variety of both high-end and drugstore when it comes to blush, eyeshadow and lipstick but relay on those three Revlon products all the time. I so enjoy your videos and try a lot of your recommendations! Desi is just the sweetest little dog!! Thank you for all you do and I look forward to next week! Sending lots of love to you and Desi! ❤️😊❤️
I just found your channel tonight, and I love it, and you. When I was young I was a hippie, and didn’t wear any makeup. Now, at 67, I wear makeup when I go out, but not at home. I wonder how much money I have saved on makeup over the years? I have found that as soon as I find a product I love, they discontinue it. One of those was a Maybelline mascara. It was perfection. Now my holy grail mascara is the waterproof Revlon SuperLength. It never clumps and makes my lashes so full and long. I buy several at a time because I am afraid they will discontinue it! For eye shadow, I LOVE the Two Faced Matte Chocolate Chip. I use it EVERY time even if I combine it with other palettes occasionally. And it smells like chocolate! What’s not to love? For concealer, nothing beats the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser. Brightens and covers wonderfully. I have many more, but I will spare you. As far as skin care, I STILL wash my face with the original Noxema, and moisturize with original Oil of Olay, or as I like to call it, Oil of Delay. I swear by both of them. My Holy Grail shampoo and conditioner was discontinued (of course) years ago, even though they briefly came back with a new formula, which was not good. It was Vidal Sassoon in the brown bottles. OMG my hair was glorious when I was using it, and I always got compliments. So SHINY! Why did they discontinue it? WHY WHY WHY!😭 And why am I so verbose tonight?😂
HELLO KANA and welcome! You're so pretty! I am so glad you found us here...the ladies are so warm and uplifting!!! Revlon Super length! I may have to try your tip! xxoo Susan
Now this i had to think about. The 80's were fun! Me with the puffy hair and blue eyeshadow with the brown eyes. Today much less make-up and hair in pony tail. My holy grails are sunscreen and my bobbie brown foundation and Mac mascara. I look forward to Saturdays with you and desi. Seriously!
Love your flashback to the 80s look! It looks beautiful on you. You had me when you mentioned' The Bridges of Madison County'. Great movie that touches so many of us on a deep level. Good to see you again, pretty lady.
You look wonderful in your 80's makeup. You don't look dated in it...just very glamorous. I still wear makeup and would never choose to go out without it, and I probably wear more eyeshadow now with more colors used, but I wear a lot less eyeliner and mascara.
You rocked the 80’s Susan!! In the 80’s I was into the Mary Kay then on to the all powder products! In Fl we tend to go light on makeup. Love my Vitamin C serum. It’s expensive but seems to also protect my skin in the sun and gives me a glow. Have a great day Susan and Desi!
Hi Sue, I absolutely loved the eighties, it was my favourite decade. Both my children were born early eighties, so my memories of having them small and all the little precious moments we shared, will always be in my heart. The nineties on the other hand was a whole different ball game. I lost my Mum, my forever love decided he wasn't my forever after all, I lost my home and for a while, I even lost myself. Looking back, although the eighties were my favourite years, I learnt more about myself from the nineties. Its easy after all, to be happy when things are sailing along just as you thought they would. Its when the going gets touch, that defines who we really are....Thank you for this video Sue...Love..Bella xx🌟🌟🌟
I always felt this 80s bond with you Bella!!! Oh to go back just for one week and you and I go clubbing???? Who shall we date? I think I would fancy going out with David Bowie....maybe a quick fling with Peter Gabriel? How about you! !
Loved all of the beautiful scenery. So fun on the 80s look!!! That vogue song always makes me want to dance. Appreciate all of your makeup shares. I wear about the same amount of makeup as years ago. I just feel better. Plus makeup is a fun creative thing. Have a wonderful week ahead 👏👏👏❤❤🤗🤗
After trying literally every drugstore mascara I finally tried Loreal brand Volumizer mascara. I will never buy anything else now. It applies easily, doesn't clump and really extends my lashes. Love it so much. Really enjoyed your video. ❤
Hi Susan, I've loved and lost 3 times now but still believe in that deep, overwhelming feeling ! I actually wear less makeup now ( I'm 64 ) than I did when I was younger. I am currently using a new product that my daughter-in-law sells. It's a fantastic total body tanner called " Nu Skin " Sunright insta glow self tanner. It doesn't streak, turn you orange and feels amazing on your skin. I just exfoliate first and put it on like a moisturizer for an instant glow on my face. With it being in the 90's and humid here in upper Indiana, it works great. I love you girlfriend & look forward to watching you every week. Have an amazing week, " see " ya soon
MAKE-UP!!.....my Daddy used to say, "well, if the barn needs painting, you better paint it!" Well this "barn" needs painting so I do it as often as possible. I think you just feel a little bit better about yourself when you do it. It doesn't matter who you run in to when you look your best. Really good to see you Susan and Desi too of course! Love you! Have a great week. See you soon. XO Ginger BTW, the rain was so calming! Beautiful
I wouldn't have been caught dead w/o makeup between 15 to 61. Now I can't believe I go out without anything at 62! I got tired of the chore of hair & makeup routine. Now when I do wear it, it's less (more makes me look like a clown now in my opinion) but I look great! It's probably the contrast between looking pretty darn haggard! I'm trying to find the happy minimum to wear that makes me feel good, and how little I can get away with. I've let my hair grow long, it's now white and gray & shiny again since not dying it blond anymore. Hair makes up for 70% of your appearance-so making the most of that instead. Physicians Formula eyeshadow in the grey palette - the best! Used it for decades and still works for me.
I only wear makeup for special occasions, I usually put on some lip gloss and I am off. I was married to a wonderful man, he passed away 9 years ago. We were together 9 years. I had the dream, It was awesome, and it was real! Thank God, I appreciated everyday we were together with no regrets! I still feel like he is around me, but also know I need to go on with life, and I do. I love your 80s look !
Susan! What a great video! You made me smile, you made me really re-evaluate where I am right now and as always you make me hopeful. I don't know about you, but I wear a little more makeup than I used to to define my eyes, but...I wear beautiful makeup that's a little more pricey because I deserve it and it makes a world of difference to have exactly the shades that suit you. My current holy grails are Artisan L'uxe Velvet Eyeliner Pencils. You can do everything from tight line to a beautiful smoky eye in seconds and Orlane Paris Blush Stick in Sun Glow. It gives you a beautiful sheer wash of color that is a soft coral that works for everyone and highlights at the same time. Bonus, it lasts 12 hours without needing a touch up. With both of these, one product lasts me well over a year. Thanks Susan, I hope that you're having a great weekend.
Well I always wear makeup…I change it up.. some days depending on where I am going.. I change it up… other days lighter.. that’s the fun in makeup…. It does not have to be the same everyday. You look gorgeous in the more 80s look! You can carry it off! Enjoy it!
Getting older I wear no shadow and less makeup. It makes me look older. The 2 movies are the best. Watched bridges a while back for the 2nd time and cried. If she had gone with him it might have turned ordinary or worse but since she didn't he will always be the love of her life.
Love and loss....I would have missed the dance...I told both my children that it was better to love and maybe lose than to never have loved... I never wore a lot of makeup but NEVER go without it not even when I was having my babies. I would just like to say you are prettier and look so much younger now than in 80s. You are amazing and beautiful inside and out. An absolute sweet spirited soul. You and Desi have a blessed week.
I LUV🥰 Watching ur videos. You are such a Beautiful Lady❤️ With a beautiful soul. I'm 60 and ur channel is my FAV! Ur elegance and style, is timeless. And because of you, I found EVA Naturals! It is some GREAT! SKINCARE! It really is. It's so nice that you let us older girls know what's good, and what's not good. With everything so expensive now, finding a great product! that doesn't cost a fortune, is wonderful. So, I would like to say, Thank You for telling us about, EVA Naturals. GodBless🙏
Thank you Debra! You touch my heart! eve Naturals has so many great products and they make small batches! It's always so pure and I can't LIVE without their eye cream!!! Thank you so much for being a part of my life! xo Susan
I never wore a lot of makeup or really learned how to apply it well. But I hated the mask like 80's look and to me, you look 100 times more beautiful without covering what actually makes you lovely- and just enhancing it in a graceful way. I'm so glad the 80's hair and makeup are over! lol
Well at 68 I wear about the same amount of make up but apply it different and not so bold colors. I also am using oils and serums that you have recommended and loving that. Thankyou. Love to you and Dezi. Pierrette from Boston.
Susan, You capture some of the most beautiful moments of nature. Thank you for bringing us such beauty. ❤️
I’m blessed to say that I will be married 48 years in just a few days, and an 11 year cancer survivor.
I use several shades of Maybelline Fit Me Concealer as a light foundation. It definitely is an adventure finding new and wonderful products. Have a beautifully blessed week my friend and thank you for your lovely videos. ✝️🌷
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! I like your makeup routine!
“ I’d rather have 30 minutes of something special than a lifetime of nothing Special at all” The quote from Steel Magnolias always gets to me.😩.
I got it wrong didn't I!!! I think I was projecting!!!
@@LittlePoet I knew what you meant. I got it wrong myself. I googled it😄It’s 30 minutes of something wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.
I want your black shirt with shiny flowers!!! You look amazing in 80's makeup.
You look amazing in 80's make up!
Thought so too.
@@maryremke5215 You are so sweet Mary!!!
@@LittlePoet you're so special Susan ,you inspire me totally! Much love to you and Desie💋💓
I enjoy seeing the twinkling lights behind you in your living room. 🙂
I luvvv the 80"s..ahhhhhh those days were special.
You have a permanent love right in your arms now. DESI!
OMG .. 80s makeup 💄... you nailed it ... enjoyed this so much ..
Susan, you look stunning in your '80's makeup!
Agree!!
You are amazing, I always feel better about everything after watching one of your vids
I think you look absolutely beautiful in your 80s makeup. I would be going for that look all the time
Love that you can laugh at yourself ! We all need to do that.
I’m a woman of color and I’m pleased to see the spectrum of skin tones that makeup manufacturers now offer in drugstore and department store brands. My favorite drugstore foundation is by Black Opal. I either purchase in the store or order on Amazon.
Oh yes! You are so pretty! It's heartbreaking ot think how long you had to wait before makeup had more then 4 shades...Milani being one of the worst offenders! Makeup is fun and I always say you do'nt just paint your face, you paint your attitude!!! Love to you! Susan
“Valley of the dolls” a much watch from the 70’s❤️
I didn’t love and lose when you get two beautiful children out of it ! I am blessed! As far as love it was lost but if it’s meant to be with love again it’s just the icing on the cake! Life is good! 🙏❤️
Run your AC for an hour or so before you record your video at a lower temperature to cool your apartment down.
Love the 80's shot of you! It's a toss-up regarding how much makeup I wear compared to my younger self. Less concealer, eyeliner and lighter shades of blush, eyeshadow and lipstick. But I now wear brow pencil, highlighter and contour/bronzer. Blessings to you and Desi from Midas and me.
Always look forward to all your videos and visiting you and Desi! I am 71 and I use as much makeup as I did when I was young. I am always looking for something to keep improving my skin. I hope I never loose that.Have a wonderful week. Thank you!
I'm 63 and I hardly ever wear makeup anymore. I started wearing makeup when I was 12. I use Merle Norman then Esteem Lauder. I was the type of person that couldn't go to the grocery store or Post Office without makeup on. I retired when I was 62. A few months before I retired I got my eyeliner top and bottom and my eyebrows tattooed on. I absolutely loved it. Now all I do is put lipstick on and out the door I go. I wish I would have tattooed my eyes when I was younger. Love your videos. Keep up the great work.
I'm 62 and still wear the same amount of makeup that I've been using for 40 years but I've had to change the colours to suit my changing skin tone!
Flossy, please continue to “do you” !! I love that sassy attitude!! I am the same age as you and feel more confident about myself than I ever did in my youth! I wear as little or as much makeup as my mood and time constraints dictate. And I never let society’s “rules of aging” set my standards.
If they had their way, (as a woman in my sixties) I should go climb under a rock and be forgotten. Unmmm....No way, no how! I use my voice and my makeup brushes equally to state otherwise!! And have lots of fun all the while!!😉
I wear less make up on a daily basis, but glam it up on special occasions.The song, "The Dance", sums it up for me...I could have missed the pain
,but I'd have had to miss the dance. Love to you and that Darling Desi!!!
I miss the 80s makeup, clothes and sheer hose with heels! Those movies are my top 2 for sure! Both reflect periods in my early years. I was in love with two men and did the right thing, worked on my marriage which sadly ended anyway after 23 years. He was the love of my life--we just didn't know how to be good spouses to one another as we grew up. If life's twists and turns brought us together again I would welcome it.
Wonderful video again 💜 I wear more makeup now at 49 than ever before. It makes me feel confident and put together. If I don’t wear much people ask me if I’m unwell 😅 so even my ‘no makeup makeup’ is still quite a bit more than I ever wore as a younger woman. I have shadows and redness to hide, contours to try put back into my face shape, mascara and eyeliner to make my eyes stand out a little and look less tired, and blush to make me look alive and youthful! …. But it’s a self care process I enjoy and I do it for me ☺️💕
My favourite products right now on my paler winter skin (I’m in the Southern Hemisphere) are bronzer and blush. I never used to be a bronzer fan but boy I am now. My favourites right now are and Anastasia’s bronzer in the rosewood colour, and Jouer blush duo in Rose Gold. Both a little more expensive but worth the splurge for me xx
Thank you! I look forward to seeing your videos each week. They are always beautiful just like you ❤️. Have a blessed week can’t wait to see you again soon!
Another sweet video Susan! You are such a highlight on my weekend! You are as lovely as ever, may I ask about your pretty black print blouse that you were wearing? I still wear the same amount of makeup as when I was younger (I'm 63) I just choose to wear different finishes to enhance my current skin type and coloring.
Hugs and Blessings to you and Desi!
I've never been one who really liked makeup but I started wearing it when I started having age spots. I dropped it entirely when we were wearing masks and I'm starting to pick it up again. I have to thank you for the wet and wild hydrator it is amazing! It's like magic it absorbs into the skin and yet it gives a light coverage it's absolutely perfect for me
Yes definitely wearing more makeup. When you are young you can get away without much but with sun damage and skin imperfections makeup is a great help. I actually bought more skincare products and new makeup during the lockdown and my husband noticed & commented how good I looked. It pays to make an effort even if it is just for yourself.
Poetry in motion. Such beauty and magic. You remind me of a fairy queen. Love it xx
THE 80S AND 90S WAS THE BEST MAKEUP AND HAIR STYLES AND THE BEST DRESS CLOTHES IN MY TIME,MISS THEM ALOT,AND I STILL DRESS LIKE JEIL ON HOME INPROVEMENT,GOD BLESS YOU,AND YOU ARE SHOWING THAT JOY YOU HAVE IN YOU.
70 next year and have learnt to apply my makeup like a professional thanx to UA-cam - far better than my much younger years. Have fun experimenting and still get excited every time I purchase
a new lippie or pallet mainly drugstore
Susan u're looking absolutely beautiful - figure clothes hair and makeup. Stunning!
Thank u and Mr. D for the fantastic video
Fun video Susan , I’m pretty limited on makeup I don’t use much .
I think when we love with all our being and we lose that love , the pain of that loss if we survive it gives a rebirth of something beautiful, I believe a whole new heart and soul shows it self .
My makeup routine has not changed, I wear very little I’m 71 , I just try to be my best self with my bronzer and mascara in hand :)🌷
The Way We Were is one of my fav of favs! When I was young I went once by myself & stayed through 2 showings! Now that I am older I no longer wear makeup on a regular basis like I used to. Only when I am going somewhere or someone is coming over, and now when I do I use a bit of a lighter touch & almost always leave out the eyeliner! Plus after all these years, a year or so ago my husband randomly told me I was pretty also without makeup, which was a shocker, because he never says anything like that!
Gee, I adore you, Susan! Thank you for all you provide!
What cover up make works for over 65ers with wrinkles under eyes . I have not found any yet that don’t settle in the wrinkles .
Susan, I wear less makeup but do a lot more skincare. In fact, you introduced me to my first ski care oil - Rosehip seed oil and I still use it often. Thank you!! Now. As makeup goes as I age I focus on using eyelid primer, eye liner, simple eyeshadow, etc. I like how I look and feel when I make the effort.
Hi! Just had to tell you that I enjoy watching your videos. Something about you makes me feel calm and always puts a smile on my face. The last 6 years have been very difficult, to say the least. I lost my father in 2015, my brother in 2018,, and my husband in 2019 (the love of my life). I have been in the hospital and a rehabilitation facility, which I was discharged in Nov. 2020. It's a long story, maybe I'll share it with you one day. I am thankful for each and every day, I am thankful that I can walk and have resumed a "normal" life again. Some days are still difficult but the majority are good. But like I said...watching you puts a smile on my face Thank you for sharing so much of your life.
I wish more brands would produce products that are cruelty free. 😢
Good morning Sue! I watched you first thing yesterday morning as I sipped on my delicious coffee. I definitely wear less makeup now than I use to. Enjoyed seeing your drugstore makeup faves! You did a perfect job on your 80's makeup. Boy, those were the days. When Julia Roberts said "I would rather have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special," it stuck with me. Many blessings, and love to you, and The Dapper Dez...Mimi
I butchered that quote but I had the right idea I think! I had so much fun, Mimi, doing that crazy makeup...I realized that for years I have lost my joy in wearing makeup because of all the " rules" for us over 60...I want to fix that mindset I have and have fun again. I always loved your makeup and my favorite look on you was your TWIGGY Look!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to go back and watch that again!!!! I want to pick out a model I loved and try to match her makeup! Love you! Sues
Your new green pillows are Magical with the Tiffany lamp lit!!! Perfect match from where I'm sitting!!! And Love the precious planters on your coffee table! Gorge!
OMG...Milani used to make THE MOST GORGEOUS GLOSSES!!!!!! But Now I have all their baked blushes with highlight built in. Love. But...Looking for couple years now for a creamy blush that L'oreal used to make. They were Beautiful. Light and shimmer built in! To Die For! But discontinued!
Oh how I love talking Decor and Skin care and Makeup! And, Susan did you know that it is the Hottest thing Going Right now, but Thrifting is The Only way to shop these days! Home decor items and furniture, Collectibles, Jewelry, all the fun stuff. even consignment shops are BIG again! And Poshmark, Thredup, etc. But yard sales, Estate sales, Goodwills, Salvation Army, You name it. And I've been LOVING it! I don't know why nor how it's Come back but it's come back as a Chiqe thing to do! I can't ever remember when its been known as Chiq! (Sorry, my spellcheck is OFF and I don't know how to get it turned back ON! ) And I studied French for 5 years! I'm slowly losing my memory! See you and Desi next week, Godwilling. Love you both SO MUCH!
I loved your 80's looks 😍 I was happy to see them again
It is so visible the weight loss you have achieved! I can see it everywhere.I
This was a fun and great video. Have a great weekend!
Yep so important to really love someone. Knew my late husband for barely two years and married for 9 months before he died. Wouldn’t have missed him for anything in the world! Yes I wear less makeup. But still enjoy wearing some every day for fun.
A gorgeous new find in foundation at Amazon is Missha BB Cream, $9 for a large tube.
It has good spf and is hydrating with the perfect level of luminosity. I am challenged in finding shades thst are not too yellow or peach I'm a cool fair and can wear either 21 or 23 in Missha. For summer I am.mixing it with a tinted suncreen as it so moisturizing, but in winter it will be perfect on its own.
Nina Johnson I understand. Lost both my husband and, later, my fiance. But, I was truly loved by both of them, and, I knew what it was to love someone. 💖
Well, I turned 90 in March, but I still wear foundation, bronzer, blush, eye shadow,liner and 2 coats of mascara anytime I leave the house! Don’t really have any holy grails, as all the creators have me trying products they like. Only the mascara is a holy grail and that is IT superhero, 2 coats of that and you can fly! I am with my 3rd and last (3rd times the charm) husband of 30 years and a happy camper. I do agree, it’s better to have loved and lost etc., etc. hugs, Senior diva 🤗
Susan, the picture of you with you cradling your face is just breathtakingly beautiful! Lovely!
You are so so sweet!!!
The best makeup tip I ever received was when I turned 40. My cousin, a makeup artist for professional dancers, told me : no eyeliner on the bottom after 45 because it pulls your whole face down. It’s so aging. I see older women do the black eyeliner “raccoon” look. 😬
I LOVE your 80's look! So cute! Ooh, the memories of the 80's!
I now definitely go waaaaay lighter with my make up...but I do have a problem with my eye pencil, which tends to smear....so my question for you is, you say you use a powder on your eyes...What kind of powder? Do you put it on before you draw on the pencil? I think you said you put on the powder after you put on the pencil. If you could either demonstrate OR explain would be helpful.
Thanks.
Loved the rain! And less makeup now, but I was always a light hander🌟
1986!!! The year I graduated High School!!! Sometimes I forget how old I am😂... Last week I was visiting my Son and Daughter in law in Denver... I live in Nebraska... We went to ULTA and had a blast looking at makeup... My daughter in law and I LOVE makeup... We had so much fun!!! Thank you for always talking about makeup... It's still so much fun to shop for.... No matter how old us girls are😍
Desi just cracks me up with that underbite!
Gotta love him!
I probably wear about the same amount of makeup now that that I'm 65. I use clinique mostly, but also some Lo'Real & just found this brand called fie`ra. I ordered the luxury concealer, I must say it is the best concealer I have used. You can use it as a primer too. Works great.
About love..... I found the love of my life. We were together almost 5 years. Got engaged, then he was diagnosed w' stage 4 lung cancer. He lived 7 months. That will be 3 yrs ago in Nov.
He gave me an eternity in the numbered days.
I will always be grateful.
Thank you for this great video. I loved your eighties make-up look and so did my husband. I remember Revlon Silver City Pink, Bonne Bell lip smackers, and Loreal eye shadow in a plum shade.
Sues, that 80s look that you are calling it, well, I think you should rock those colors now. I cannot think of one good reason for you not to. And girl, I'm older than you are, and I'm sort of going for a little more dramatic of a look than I did when younger, so I guess I'm going backwards, right? But all this to say, you looked absolutely beautiful. I may not wear much foundation, but I'll make up with a little more blush and a dramatic eye look. And if the makeup police don't like it, they can sue me....😂😂😂💕👀👀👄💅🥂💄👠
I'd like to know what the 80's lipstick and blush you used - they are perfect for you (and would suit me too).
@@viannam5483 . I second that!!!! LoL. I have dark red hair so I have to be careful of the reds I use but I still intend to use them and it seems that I look less frumpy or washed out when I do use the deeper colors. I look ridiculous in nude lipstick....😂. So please give us the lip and cheek colors Sues and maybe the eyeshadow too, the colors when you had on the fur collar....all I can say is va va voom!!!! Movie star look!!!! Give em up.... We want colors!!!! 😂😜💄👠💅
It’s important to me to ware make up. I don’t feel dressed until it’s on. I sort of feel necked. Look forward to your sweet and wonderful videos.
I loved this video! I’m definitely going to try a few of the makeup items you spoke about. The photo of you at then end in black & white is gorgeous.
You need to get that printed and framed......
I need help with under eye bags and refuse surgery. Think I’ll try the L’Oreal Eye Match but how in the world do you know what shade to get?
And you said you need a concealer on top of it?
.
💐 You always look so happy when you wear the 80’s makeup! Why not just wear it??? 😊. You are beautiful in it! Just ask Desi, I bet HE would agree! 💄👠👛💕🌸👍
I love when the rain comes down hard. It must be such a blessing to have a balcony. I lived in the same apartment complex years ago. I had a different apartment. I loved my patio. I had my chairs & a little table out there. The apartment I’m in now the patio slopes down. I can’t go out there at all. No more chairs or table. Since I can’t get out I never go to a drugstore. My girlfriend will go if we need anything. I’m desperately trying not to buy anymore makeup. I’ve bought so much over the years. I only end up using certain palettes all the time. I keep decluttering but still have too much. Now there’s palettes I just can’t give up. Yet I barely wear makeup. Only when I go out which is very infrequently. I’m still tempted by Huda Beauty eye palettes. I did buy three small ones during the Sephora sale. Your 80’s makeup was over the top. The blush was so much. The one drugstore makeup product I love is Maybelline Age Rewind Dark Circle Erase Treatment. I think that’s right. I only use that for my under eyes. See you next week. Love you, Lucy
I don't even remember how I did my makeup in the 80s! LOL I know I plucked my eyebrows very thin. I know I used a Raisin named lipstick but I'm not sure what the brand was. But, I do know that I loved the makeup, fashion and hairstyles of the 80s. I had it going on!! LOL It was my first decade as an adult and I lived it up.
You are just beautiful, classy, sweet, and intelligent. Have a blessed week.
You look amazing in 80's makeup. I really like when you go back in time. God bless.
This was such a great video! Loved your 80’s look! I wear more natural makeup tones now… peachy tones…softer eye makeup… and play around with lip colors for fun! Thank so much for making Saturday something to look forward to!!!
Interesting perspective on those movies. 💌
I believe....
"Nothing was meant to be ours forever, just borrowed" SkH
Those movies represent the challenges in life, letting go. Not getting a happy ending you thought. But persevering. Finding love and contentment without a somebody.
Being at peace with what life doesn't give us.letting go of expectations. And enjoying the ride till it ends. 🙏
I wear quite a bit more makeup now, but less often. Since I started watching UA-cam videos like yours and others, I learned about bronzer, high light, transition shades, tight lining, etc etc. I had a lot of catching up to do. Now it takes me 2 hours to get ready☺️
I’m 69 and yes thanks to UA-cam I’ve become a makeup lover! I wear more now than ever and it makes me feel sassy and classy. Same with fashion. All those videos have helped me a lot.
Yamma Susan, I live in the Central Australian desert, and I miss torrential rain so much. Thanks so much for including rain in this video. You also teach me so much, not just about ageing with courage, grace, humour and resilience but how to look our best doing it. Thanks for all you do with your channel. I am going to try the Physicians Friend product.
I wear more makeup now, but it looks like less. I didn’t wear contour or highlighter 10 years ago, but now they are my friends. LOL
I have the same issue with my noisy AC...and we’re going on over a week in the upper 90s! I get pretty “glowy” LOL! The rain was lovely. You rocked your 80s look! SO fun! Wonderful favs...Boz and I sending love to you and Desi ❤️
Thank you so much for being here Tamera! It gets HOT HOT HOT! I think what I may have to do is film on 3 different days!!! Love to you and yours always!!!
Susan, Your 80’s makeup looks fabulous and you look absolutely gorgeous! I just love your beautiful spirit. Hugs to you Desi.🥰❤️💕
Hey my lovely yt Sis! I have been having a marathon of your beautiful videos! You are such a beautiful soul an I so enjoy your videos! I love your blouse your makeup goodies and your humor, lol. Beautiful plants and your beautiful fur baby! I wear less makeup now because of the mask I figure it doesn't matter, lol. TFS! Hugs, Love & Many Blessings! 💕💕💕🏡🏡🏡
I love my makeup and bath time. It lifts my spirits getting fixed up even when I have no where to go. Part of taking care of myself and making myself feel my best everyday. I love your Cadillac! I have an almost identical one in pearl white. We call the car "Fancy." I also have a little dog to keep me company, my poodle Bougie. I don't know what I would do without him. Thank you for your videos, I enjoy them!
I am a makeup connoisseur. I have been since Jr high school. I was the one of our friend group who taught all our friends all about makeup and hair. 1984 graduate here. I've dabbled in makeup artistry all of my life. I've done weddings, proms, pageants, makeup for country music videos shot in Nashville, TN, you name it. I have just always loved it. Now that I'm 55 I wear so much less than I used to. I wore a full glam face every single day until I got to be in my mid 40's. Then I just kept cutting back. I wear mainly concealer, waterproof mascara (the Maybelline Sky High waterproof is amazing btw), a small wing eyeliner and sometimes red lipstick, but always at least a gloss. I may warm up my face with a lil bronzer, but I rarely wear eyeshadow, highlight, contour, or foundations. It's just to hot where we live. I live in the deep south where the humidity is brutal. But yes, the answer to your question is yes I wear a lot less makeup in my 50's. Your 80's makeup challenge was done beautifully today! Oh how I miss those times!! Another great video girlfriend!
Love the 80's look on you Susan.....those were the days
I mentioned this before, and maybe many have seen this, but the movie "All That Heaven Allows" is a beautiful older film about the evolution of a mature woman and what she wants in life. It stars Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman. The photography is incredible.
A great movie!
Loved this movie!!
I have to see this!!! Thank you~~~!
I love that movie💗
I love this movie, it has depth.
At my age (71) I find myself using more skin care than make-up. I used to be big on all the latest make-up, but found it wasn't doing my skin a favor. Now, healthy oils, retinol, moisturizers and lots of cleansing....and sunscreen. My friends are complimenting me on my healthy skin. Thanks Susan for your help. Hi Desi!
I love makeup! Always have, always will! It has changed some as I age. I don't contour or put on lashes and sometimes I just wear one eyeshadow. But when I leave the house my face is done! I'm loving a lot of K beauty products because they are both reasonably priced and use great ingredients. Drug store brands I still love are Loreal Voluminous Mascara, Loreal Lipstick in Spiced Cider and Revlon lip liner in Sienna. And for dry skin I think there is nothing better to remove makeup than Ponds Cold Cream.
I loved your 80's makeup. What a great time in our lives that was! I agree there is no loved and lost. To love and be loved, even for a short time, leaves memories that can be enjoyed. I refuse to dwell on the bad but just remember the good times. Love changes as we age. It isn't the hot passion and burning desire of youth. Still it is good with more of a slow burn and trembling heart. Our experiences allow us to grow stronger and become more independent. And, we aren't dead yet so there is still time for one more dance...or perhaps three or four!
You're definitely rocking the 80's vibe Susan. I absolutely love it on you! Don't cheat yourself....wear it more often! It takes 15 years away from you....
15 years off? LOL....HELLO 80's makeup!!! I love you!!
Hi Susan, in the 1980's I used to wear full coverage foundation, deeply contoured blusher, triple eyeshadows, mascara, eyeliner and lipstick. I would not leave the house without it all on. Even when I was at home full makeup minus the lipstick. Plus my hair was always layered and curling tongs were part of the process. Now I wear much less makeup. When at home I wear no makeup and when I am going up town visiting etc I wear only foundation and lipstick. First I cleanse with a tiny bit say half a centimeter dot of Antipodes Juliet Skin Brightening Gel Cleanser and a little water to foam in hands and lather face, warm face cloth off and pat dry. Then I use a centimeter of Antipodes BaptiseH2O Ultra-Hydrating Water Gel, a little goes a very long way with both. I use Living Nature foundation to face spreading lightly with fingers. Then Living Nature illuminating foundation on cheeks sides of face sometime I mix them and use together. These are both a liquid cream foundations and are lovely. I have lash extensions my daughter does for me and its best not to wear any eye makeup with them as it causes them to not last long. The lashes are stunning I just love them just like that. So from heaps of makeup to streamlined basics with luscious lashes that's me.
First I must say Susan you were absolutely beautiful in this video - I loved the top you were wearing! I didn't even notice any puffiness from the dental work. I have just had 2 root canals on my left side of my mouth so I know how you are feeling. I think I still wear the same amount of makeup now at 56 as I did at 21! I just apply it a little differently with a lighter hand. I love the Revlon ColorStay Matte Foundation, the Revlon ColorStay eyeliner in black, and the Revlon Candid HD loose powder. Those I have to always have in my makeup bag. I use a wide variety of both high-end and drugstore when it comes to blush, eyeshadow and lipstick but relay on those three Revlon products all the time. I so enjoy your videos and try a lot of your recommendations! Desi is just the sweetest little dog!! Thank you for all you do and I look forward to next week! Sending lots of love to you and Desi! ❤️😊❤️
😊Beautiful beautiful you Susan! Stay safe and well and enjoy a lovely weekend everyone! Hi Desi! 🧚🏻♂️💜💐
Thx for all the makeup tips. I am so in love with your Desi.What a Charmer you have. Many Blessings 😇
I just found your channel tonight, and I love it, and you. When I was young I was a hippie, and didn’t wear any makeup. Now, at 67, I wear makeup when I go out, but not at home. I wonder how much money I have saved on makeup over the years? I have found that as soon as I find a product I love, they discontinue it. One of those was a Maybelline mascara. It was perfection. Now my holy grail mascara is the waterproof Revlon SuperLength. It never clumps and makes my lashes so full and long. I buy several at a time because I am afraid they will discontinue it! For eye shadow, I LOVE the Two Faced Matte Chocolate Chip. I use it EVERY time even if I combine it with other palettes occasionally. And it smells like chocolate! What’s not to love? For concealer, nothing beats the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser. Brightens and covers wonderfully. I have many more, but I will spare you. As far as skin care, I STILL wash my face with the original Noxema, and moisturize with original Oil of Olay, or as I like to call it, Oil of Delay. I swear by both of them. My Holy Grail shampoo and conditioner was discontinued (of course) years ago, even though they briefly came back with a new formula, which was not good. It was Vidal Sassoon in the brown bottles. OMG my hair was glorious when I was using it, and I always got compliments. So SHINY! Why did they discontinue it? WHY WHY WHY!😭 And why am I so verbose tonight?😂
HELLO KANA and welcome! You're so pretty! I am so glad you found us here...the ladies are so warm and uplifting!!! Revlon Super length! I may have to try your tip! xxoo Susan
Now this i had to think about. The 80's were fun! Me with the puffy hair and blue eyeshadow with the brown eyes. Today much less make-up and hair in pony tail. My holy grails are sunscreen and my bobbie brown foundation and Mac mascara. I look forward to Saturdays with you and desi. Seriously!
Can you please do a tutorial on how you fix your hair in an up do? It is very becoming! You look fabulous!
Love your flashback to the 80s look! It looks beautiful on you. You had me when you mentioned' The Bridges of Madison County'. Great movie that touches so many of us on a deep level. Good to see you again, pretty lady.
You look wonderful in your 80's makeup. You don't look dated in it...just very glamorous. I still wear makeup and would never choose to go out without it, and I probably wear more eyeshadow now with more colors used, but I wear a lot less eyeliner and mascara.
You rocked the 80’s Susan!! In the 80’s I was into the Mary Kay then on to the all powder products! In Fl we tend to go light on makeup. Love my Vitamin C serum. It’s expensive but seems to also protect my skin in the sun and gives me a glow. Have a great day Susan and Desi!
Hi Sue, I absolutely loved the eighties, it was my favourite decade. Both my children were born early eighties, so my memories of having them small and all the little precious moments we shared, will always be in my heart.
The nineties on the other hand was a whole different ball game. I lost my Mum, my forever love decided he wasn't my forever after all, I lost my home and for a while, I even lost myself.
Looking back, although the eighties were my favourite years, I learnt more about myself from the nineties. Its easy after all, to be happy when things are sailing along just as you thought they would. Its when the going gets touch, that defines who we really are....Thank you for this video Sue...Love..Bella xx🌟🌟🌟
I always felt this 80s bond with you Bella!!! Oh to go back just for one week and you and I go clubbing???? Who shall we date? I think I would fancy going out with David Bowie....maybe a quick fling with Peter Gabriel? How about you! !
Loved all of the beautiful scenery. So fun on the 80s look!!! That vogue song always makes me want to dance. Appreciate all of your makeup shares. I wear about the same amount of makeup as years ago. I just feel better. Plus makeup is a fun creative thing. Have a wonderful week ahead 👏👏👏❤❤🤗🤗
After trying literally every drugstore mascara I finally tried Loreal brand Volumizer mascara. I will never buy anything else now. It applies easily, doesn't clump and really extends my lashes. Love it so much. Really enjoyed your video. ❤
Kick it up a notch with the loreal lash primer. Va va boom 💥
Hi Susan, I've loved and lost 3 times now but still believe in that deep, overwhelming feeling ! I actually wear less makeup now ( I'm 64 ) than I did when I was younger. I am currently using a new product that my daughter-in-law sells. It's a fantastic total body tanner called " Nu Skin " Sunright insta glow self tanner. It doesn't streak, turn you orange and feels amazing on your skin. I just exfoliate first and put it on like a moisturizer for an instant glow on my face. With it being in the 90's and humid here in upper Indiana, it works great. I love you girlfriend & look forward to watching you every week. Have an amazing week, " see " ya soon
Wow Wee! Very glamorous! Love Desi's bow tie too! Thanks
MAKE-UP!!.....my Daddy used to say, "well, if the barn needs painting, you better paint it!" Well this "barn" needs painting so I do it as often as possible. I think you just feel a little bit better about yourself when you do it. It doesn't matter who you run in to when you look your best. Really good to see you Susan and Desi too of course! Love you! Have a great week. See you soon. XO Ginger
BTW, the rain was so calming! Beautiful
I wouldn't have been caught dead w/o makeup between 15 to 61. Now I can't believe I go out without anything at 62! I got tired of the chore of hair & makeup routine. Now when I do wear it, it's less (more makes me look like a clown now in my opinion) but I look great! It's probably the contrast between looking pretty darn haggard! I'm trying to find the happy minimum to wear that makes me feel good, and how little I can get away with. I've let my hair grow long, it's now white and gray & shiny again since not dying it blond anymore. Hair makes up for 70% of your appearance-so making the most of that instead. Physicians Formula eyeshadow in the grey palette - the best! Used it for decades and still works for me.
I only wear makeup for special occasions, I usually put on some lip gloss and I am off. I was married to a wonderful man, he passed away 9 years ago. We were together 9 years. I had the dream, It was awesome, and it was real! Thank God, I appreciated everyday we were together with no regrets! I still feel like he is around me, but also know I need to go on with life, and I do. I love your 80s look !
Susan! What a great video! You made me smile, you made me really re-evaluate where I am right now and as always you make me hopeful. I don't know about you, but I wear a little more makeup than I used to to define my eyes, but...I wear beautiful makeup that's a little more pricey because I deserve it and it makes a world of difference to have exactly the shades that suit you. My current holy grails are Artisan L'uxe Velvet Eyeliner Pencils. You can do everything from tight line to a beautiful smoky eye in seconds and Orlane Paris Blush Stick in Sun Glow. It gives you a beautiful sheer wash of color that is a soft coral that works for everyone and highlights at the same time. Bonus, it lasts 12 hours without needing a touch up. With both of these, one product lasts me well over a year. Thanks Susan, I hope that you're having a great weekend.
Well I always wear makeup…I change it up.. some days depending on where I am going.. I change it up… other days lighter.. that’s the fun in makeup…. It does not have to be the same everyday.
You look gorgeous in the more 80s look! You can carry it off! Enjoy it!
Getting older I wear no shadow and less makeup. It makes me look older. The 2 movies are the best. Watched bridges a while back for the 2nd time and cried. If she had gone with him it might have turned ordinary or worse but since she didn't he will always be the love of her life.
I miss the 80’s culture! 😿 Girrrl, You can still rock that look!!! 😻
Love and loss....I would have missed the dance...I told both my children that it was better to love and maybe lose than to never have loved...
I never wore a lot of makeup but NEVER go without it not even when I was having my babies. I would just like to say you are prettier and look so much younger now than in 80s.
You are amazing and beautiful inside and out. An absolute sweet spirited soul. You and Desi have a blessed week.
I just love your drugstore makeup videos-the info is so good!

Thank you Debra! You touch my heart! eve Naturals has so many great products and they make small batches! It's always so pure and I can't LIVE without their eye cream!!! Thank you so much for being a part of my life! xo Susan
I never wore a lot of makeup or really learned how to apply it well. But I hated the mask like 80's look and to me, you look 100 times more beautiful without covering what actually makes you lovely- and just enhancing it in a graceful way. I'm so glad the 80's hair and makeup are over! lol
Susan you look amazing in your 80's makeup and your current makeup. Enjoy your weekend 🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸
Well at 68 I wear about the same amount of make up but apply it different and not so bold colors. I also am using oils and serums that you have recommended and loving that. Thankyou. Love to you and Dezi. Pierrette from Boston.
