      Il Makiage matches you and let’s you try before you buy for two weeks. I will tell you it’s affordable- EVERYONE should have their concealer- no settling, pilling, super coverage. There’s nothing I have ever found like it. And I’ve tried them all. It’s only online, but they are excellent at matching.

      @@tammywade3649you shouldn’t mix your sunscreen with anything else. You will get less and uneven protection and affect its ability to work the way it’s supposed to. You also most likely are using nowhere near enough sunscreen which should be around 1/4 teaspoon for your face to get the stated protection, give or take depending on the size of your face. Apply your sunscreen first, let it set, and if you need to dilute your foundation do it with something else.

    Gabi, I totally agree with you, there is absolutely nothing the matter with trying to look nice. I feel so much better when I go somewhere and look nice. So many people just don't care how they look when they leave the house these days. Well quite frankly I never wanted to do something everyone else is doing, I am 68 yrs. old and I still like being noticed because I am making an EFFORT on my appearance. I may not feel that way in the future, but for right now I still do and I am going to keep watching your videos for these excellent tips. Thank you for being here.

      A natural beauty co-worker said to me, " you know how your husband tells you every morning how beautiful you are?" I commented that my husband rarely tells me I'm beautiful.

      I believe making a little effort in our appearance and taking good care of ourselves (not necessarily a full face of makeup every day) is also a form of respect to other people. It also depends on the occasion, for example if I only have to go grab some groceries I will not spend as much time getting ready as if I had to go out for dinner, but still I try to avoid looking frumpy, sometimes it really does not take much. For a job interview, even on zoom, I like to put on a little makeup and look at least presentable and professional. It just means that you care enough. This obviously does not apply to people who have legitimate reasons to be unable to groom themselves (depression, disabilities or any other difficult circumstances) but most people are just lazy.

      I'm 66 and of course our era was all about making an effort and not looking frumpy. We wouldn't be caught dead going out in public with hair curlers, slippers, and PJs. Proper undergarments were expected. I mean, we had hygiene classes in high school about how to dress, take care of our nails, do our hair, etc etc. These days, who knows what's being taught? It was considered self-respect and respect for the senses of others, who have to look at us. I mean, if someone wants to look like a schlub, that's their lookout, but then they shouldn't expect any respect!!

    I absolutely LOVE this channel! As a “mature” but young 68 year old, I’m always looking for makeup tips. I have the things you mentioned that make mature skin look older - age spots, dry patches and some redness. I already use the L’Oreal foundation but will be going to Sephora to get some of the other products you mentioned including the Supergoop sunscreen. Thanks for always looking out for us older ladies!

    • @johannaholmgren8088
      @johannaholmgren8088 Рік тому +2

      Funny. I just went to Sephora a couple weeks ago, to use up some points etc and ended up getting a small tube of Supergoop. I have used it in the past, but I think it was a sample or something. It was fantastic but full size was expensive so I decided against it. I've come around to realising it's worth the expense. I've also got the L'Oreal serum foundation, and I use the primer that goes with it; it's really nice! One thing I haven't tried is the Estee Lauder foundation, but so many people seem to swear by it, that I think I'll need to give it a try....!!!

    Hi, Gabi - I recently have been watching your videos. I enjoyed this format very much. I think what mature women mean by “trying too hard” is we don’t want to look like we are trying to look like someone half our age with makeup, clothes, hair; we want to enhance our look while feeling a best version of our maturing self. There’s confidence and beauty in that. ❤

    Gabi, I really appreciate all your tips on mature skin makeup (and application) and the explanations behind them. I would love for you to continue the series!
    One thing that I would personally find helpful is a video on all the different makeup brushes to use for the various applications. There are SO many shapes and textures out there and with varying associated costs. I honestly get overwhelmed trying to figure out which types I need and for what purpose. I also feel like there surely must be a particular brand or two that are reasonably priced that would work just as well as the higher priced ones. I just don’t know which that would be. So, a video on this would be very helpful ❤

    Love this series and wish I had seen it before investing in the Dior Forever Matte foundation that other UA-camrs swore was great for mature skin and prevented creasing! Grrrr. The Cool Rosy shade actually has a yellow undertone, neither cool nor rosy! Your comment was brilliant … I keep running into friends (early 70s) who have grown out long, stringy hair, quit coloring it, and dress like little gray mice. It’s almost like they are trying to be invisible. Meanwhile, I have blonde hair with highlights and lowlights and gravitate towards Fuschia pinks, teal blues, etc. with white jeans for summer. I have thought “am I trying to hard”, then think “Nah, I love what I’m wearing”! I also love the incredibly gorgeous eyes on your client! Wow!! Can you recreate that look for us?

There are many other ways to give your skin a glow, that don’t include using a glowy primer or a glowy foundation! Everyone’s skin is unique and different to them.

    Hello! You are awesome, thank you for your advice. To answer your question, I’m 57 and have friends who are definitely “trying too hard”, what this means to me is that they are trying to go back in time and try to be 25 again rather than accept their beauty at their age and let it shine. They do makeup that is silly, terrribly long lashes, glitter, too much eye liner that ultimately backfires and makes them look desperate. Your advice is what they need. some how they believe if they repeat what worked at 25 it’ll succeed. Their role models are not skin appropriate. Trying to hard means not accepting the fact of your age- and bringing out the best but rather, trying to copy teenagers to look like them. thank soooo much for your tips!

A comment below stated," I think what mature women mean by “trying too hard” is we don’t want to look like we are trying to look like someone half our age with makeup, clothes, hair; we want to enhance our look while feeling a best version of our maturing self. " That is what I mean when I think of the statement, "trying too hard". It's not a negative comment about putting any effort into ones appearance. It's about looking youthful at the age you currently are and not trying to be what you aren't. That to me shows confidence and not insecurity.

    Hmmm. Trying too hard…as a 68 year old woman, this phrase implies I could appear to be unaccepting of my age and am driven to look young. Nothing to do with effort really. We all want to be accepted and feel relevant EXACTLY as we are. Trying too hard also means (to me) the fear of not getting it right (looking overdone) and being judged for it. Unfortunately there’s still a lot of ageism out there. I applaud you Gabi for helping us navigate the complicated makeup and hair space. 🙏🏻 I don’t want to look young, I want to look my own, personal best now and as I continue the adventure.

    Hi Gabi I really enjoy watching your make and skincare tips for mature skin although some products are hard to find in the UK. I am 51, still have quite an active t-zone, normal skin on cheeks and fine lines around eyes but quite oily eyelids. I have a wide range of skincare and makeup that no matter what I use, makes me wish I had not bothered with make up once I’ve finished applying as the end result is not flattering. I’m mixed up with moisturising first, keeping a dewy look, the powdering to keep the t-zone down and containing the hot sweats from just starting the menopause!!! Skin care and make up was so easy in the 80’s when I was younger, now my skin type and care baffles me as I’m still prone to oily t-zone and spots but dealing with fine lines!!! Please help thank you xxxx

      I have textured skin and the glow products high light those areas which I dislike. So I agree with you regarding lines. I would probably just use a satin product only in spots that I don’t have lines or texture. But those areas need to Matte for me.

    Thank you for the great tips! I just came across your channel. I'm 53 with 6 kids ages 8-17. I've always loved makeup! My 2 girls are 8. One looked like Alice Cooper when she plays in makeup. While the other is a future makeup artist.
    I don't understand the "trying too hard" comment 🤷‍♀️ It's called putting your best foot forward and presenting your amazing self to the world.
    I've used Clinique's City 50 Block Sunscreen since I was 40. I didn't use Sunscreen when I was pregnant so I had horrible Hyperpigmentation. After going through very painful Lazer treatments I never go without Sunscreen on my face.
    I love Glowish face primer by Huda beauty. For foundation I like Estee Lauder's Double Wear and Huas Lab Born This Way Foundation.
    Thank you again for wonderful tips!

    I don’t understand why anyone would watch your channel OR any other channel that has similar content if they’re not interested in how they can look and feel their best? Just watch something else, it’s that simple. I just turned 60 and people usually think I’m in my 40’s and I think it’s because I put effort into my appearance - which also includes how I take care of myself physically, emotionally and intellectually. I don’t wear makeup everyday, but when I do, I enjoy the process and channels like this, help me stay up to date and provide great information. Thank you, Gabi for all the great content! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    It's trying and failing that we want to avoid. Many of us have worked really hard to look good and then caught sight of ourselves in the mirror and been humiliated at how we look. At that point it's tempting to give up and just resign ourselves to looking frumpy.
    It's to overcome that discouraging failure that I am watching your channel. Putting on makeup is FUN when we follow these great tips and rediscover the magic good makeup application and correct products can perform.

      This is AMAZING advice Janice! Thank you for leaving this comment. Isn't it the most beautiful foundation you have ever used? I actually just bought it because the beauty boutique advisor told me it's phenomenal and I needed something bullet-proof for events and the first time I used it, my jaw dropped to the floor. It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. Ever since then, I've used it on literally every client I have had and every single person looks at their face in the mirror after and says "WOW what is that! My skin looks flawless!" I am SO happy that she recommended it to me.

Now, with grown kids I love having the time. I enjoy the process and see it as a way of spoiling myself. When I have an event I put on music, light a candle and start my makeup! I look better at 60 than I did at 40 despite the ageing. I also say, go for it ladies!

You can get down just trying to find anything that looks good. I'm just starting a whole new chapter of skin care and makeup. I sometimes feel like I did as a teen just feeling my way through the endless myriad of products. With all the "fake advertising" out there it is nice to have someone Real and knowledgeable about this. Thanks for all you time. You can tell you really put your ❤ into it.

I think I associate it with "trying to desperately cling on to youth" and I might get judged by people thinking "look at her, how sad" but really I need to turn that around in my head and embrace looking good and making an effort in my 50s and beyond. Your videos and attitude are so, so helpful. Thank you. X

    Glad I found your channel! I'm 63 and have been experimenting with skincare and makeup lately trying to find what works best for me at this age. I like a more natural looking makeup and prefer to still be able to see my skin while hiding the sun damage I inflicted upon myself growing up in the 70's. I am currently using Colorscience and wondering what you think of this brand. The dermatologist recommended it for the sunscreen, I'm asking in regards to makeup.

    I love how you talked about how it is not bad to want to look their best and take care of oneself. That really hit home since I live in Finland where most women wear very minimal makeup and wanting to look their best is considered very vain. I think everyone should just love and let live. Let's not drag other people down but compliment each other instead!
