    Thank you. I am a 51 year old woman . I had skin cancer on my nose years ago . I had a MOSE procedure done ( removal of skin cancer and a skin graft ) so I have scaring and redness on my nose . I also now have droopy eyelids . One eye is worse than the other so trying to get my eyeshadow to help my eyelids to not look so droopy is something that I have been trying to do. I love playing or experimenting with makeup . It’s amazing how putting a little makeup on gives me so much more confidence. I thank you for these types of videos . God bless you and your family.

    I’m excited about MG Academy, but I’m more excited when you said you would be creating makeup products again in the future! I have hit pan or used up so many of my eyeshadows and blushes, that I don’t know what I am going to do. Your color theory was absolutely amazing. I cannot find light or desaturated cool toned for fair skin. Only you were able to get the nuanced colors I was looking for. I’m happy you are taking time for yourself and your family, and going back to your roots as a teacher, but I cannot wait until your next brand is launched😊😊😊

    You are gorgeous and don't need facelifts! I changed my profile picture to one that was taken when I was in my mid 50s, I am terrible at keeping up skincare and I only use sunscreen religiously. I have never had any fillers, botox or, with the exception of a medical septo-rhinoplasty for apnoea due to a badly broken nose, have had no surgery. I have been hugely lucky genetically, actually I will put up my usual photo in which I was 63. Sleeping on your back almost completely removes naso-labial lines and i do facial exercises to keep my under jaw in check. You look gorgeous and have similar bone structure to my sister and I and I am sure you will keep your gorgeous face well into your old age!

I have always come back to her after trying a lot of foundation. Anyway, when I use something that glows it emphasizes my texture not in a good way. And wanted to know if you or anyone else has tried the new smash box always on foundation.
