You all……. I am 73 and proud of it! I am finally at the stage in life where I do whatever I choose, when I choose. I wear more makeup than I wore in my 30/40s and I love it… I finally have the time. I’m living my best life and I love it…… I wouldn’t want to be younger for anything! I have the Huda palette and I think it’s my favourite palette so far. There are some significant advantages to aging!!
your outlook is so beautiful, as are you ❤ thank you for this encouraging message, it made me smile and gave me hope to keep growing in my confidence. Sending you love and well wishes!
I’m 26, and maybe it’s the algorithm or the circles I’m in, but it often feels like there’s so much negativity surrounding age-whether it’s in entertainment or the beauty industry always trying to reverse age. So, reading these comments has been such a reassuring and uplifting moment for me as a woman in my twenties-I’m truly amazed and delighted to see so many wonderful people embracing their age and celebrating it in such a graceful, often overlooked light. Beauty is age, and it's inspiring to see it reflected here so openly, honestly, and positively! Thank you for telling me that my life doesn’t stop after my twenties and that it only gets better. ♥️ Btw Nikki, I just ordered your makeup brush set with BK Beauty. It’s arriving tomorrow and the anticipation is real! I have high expectations and I know you won’t disappoint. Thank you for all you do in this industry! 🩵
Nikki, from a 69 year old Canadian girl,I love your videos. Your appeal is your kindness, your gift of words and your patience. Your kindness comes through very clearly. Also aside from being an excellent makeup artist, you are truly so nice to watch because of all these attributes. I have a strong feeling that you have great things coming in your future!💞
Im going to be 60 in a month and the biggest thing I've enjoyed about aging is the ability to just be myself without caring about anyone's opinion. So many younger adults are hung up on how they look or what they do and what anybody is going to think of it, who cares!! You be you and dont let anybody tell you different . Nikki I LOVE your content and Ive learned so much from your videos.
I'm 48 and have learned so much from you, and some of our favorites like Lisa and Allie, and I'm not afraid of the way I have aged because you have all taught me how to love the way I look. Makeup makes us happy and there's nothing wrong with that!
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Nikki because I went ALL WEEK without wearing my sunglasses . I have been really self conscious about my horrible under eyes ( dark circles & crepey skin )for YEARS! But now that I have the N14 & N16 I have been wearing my regular glasses everyday. Using the N16 with the Tower 28 and the N14 with Mario powder has changed everything. The foundation brush has been a game changer as well. You have finally gotten me out of the makeup rutt I've been in for YEARS!!! Thank you for making me feel pretty again. ❤
@@andreacheck1749 I also use the Huda corrector. Sometimes by itself. I now use 1/2 as much as I used to & it looks 100x's better. Nikki has helped with my makeup application tremendously.
@catholicpog7183 I don't really know. I'm not hard on the eyes, but I don't think of myself as naturally pretty. I just feel better wearing makeup if I have to go out in public.
My 40s and 50s were amazing. I’m just into my 60s now and I have time for all the skin care and makeup stuff now. I am discovering a whole new phase for me and I love it. Don’t be negative about aging, it’s beautiful too.
I am 69, I will be 70 in April. Here’s what’s interesting, life is still great! I work out every day, I’m active, I’m happy, I still love music, dancing, playing, it’s a great time of my life. I don’t feel any different than I did when I was younger, I have no complaints. I’ve been obsessed with makeup and skincare since I was 13. There are so many good topical skincare items now and I’ve learned so much in the past decade that my skin looks better today than it did when I was 40. Younger women, think tretinoin, it’s my best friend! People in my family often live well into their 90’s and this is the only skin I get, so I take really good care of my skin.
Watching the Replay. I'm 61. Loved my 30s, but I felt like my 40s were empowering. I'm still experiencing a new journey in my 60s, discovering new things and exploring a new career! It's not where I thought I would be, but I'm really happy with the path and options ahead of me!!
Hey Nikki, I've been watching every one of your videos for over a year and you and your brushes have totally transformed my makeup! I'm turning 40 in July and I would love to volunteer to be your fair, cool toned blue eyed model for my birthday! Thank you for being you!
I was "smartly" influenced (if that's a thing ;) to purchase Sarah Creal concealer... both makeup artists / content creators that spoke alot about it had said that they had an overwhelming number of "mature" women in their comments swearing by the formula under the eyes. So i took a chance and got it... I DO really really like it on my 51 y.o. under eyes... but / and I also bought the kulfi at the same time... influenced by you, Nikki! And I am still testing it out... but I feel like I might like the Kulfi just as much, maybe even more! Still testing and playing... But they are both amazing. Just wanted to share because I know there was chat during the live that people weren't sure about it / is it good / is it worth the price tag... I think that it is the mature audience that is REALLY going crazy for it.
Nikki that N 16 brush is magical! I love your brush set. I am in my 50s and wear only a bit of corrector in the inner corners and below the eye because I have lines ( since my 30s so a lot is just anatomy) and this brush is so perfect! The best I’ve ever used. I love all your makeup tips and I’ve gotten so many complements specifically on makeup using your tips. You look beautiful as always!
Thank you for this video. Things have been very stressful lately and your kind, calm energy helps so much. The look you created, as always, is so beautiful. People in this live are talking about age. I'm 55 and assure you that every decade can be wonderful depending on how you approach it. Enjoy the holidays ahead and thank you!
Nikki, you are the Martha Stewart of makeup tutorials. By this I mean, you are an amazing teacher. I find myself applying my makeup talking to myself and the mirror as if I'm doing a tutorial... "And now I'm applying the Dior multistick with the BK brush... LOL.. I crack myself up. Thank you Nikki!! I've learned SO much from you.
Yay for bringing in models in 2025!!! 🎉 I would greatly appreciate a cool toned look on very fair neutral/cool skin. I’m Lisa Eldridge foundation shade #1, and I would love to see what you would choose - products, colors, techniques, as so many things are so vibrant and impactful on fair skin, sometimes that’s great, sometimes not what I’m looking for… Also on the other end of the spectrum, deeper skin tones! Sooooo beautiful, I would love to watch those, too! I love this goal of yours for 2025 and I fully support ❤ Thanks for showing the puppies, love them as always!
50s are the best decade; you are finally wise and your body hasn’t started to fall apart yet. I’m 71 now and when I look in the mirror, I’m happy with what I see. And I AGREE with you Nikki, and now I understand why. I always found it insulting and obnoxious when people said I didn’t look my age. It’s because they think you have to apologize for it! Thanks for your advice and generosity.
Hey Nikki, just catching up and watching your Sunday live. Saw comments on Sarah Creal face flex…I’ve got shade 3, I like as far as concealers go. I’m 55 so no concealers look that great on me. BUT I will say the Sarah Creal lipsticks are the best ever, feel awesome and the prettiest colors. You definitely need to try the lipsticks! All of them!
I'm new to watching your content and thought that I'd introduce myself. I'm 49 years old and didn't do anything more than a very basic makeup until my skin changed due to health changes in 2017. Since then, most of my makeup knowledge has been from beauty influencers. This year, I've been wanting to improve even more and have switched to more pro MUA content because of makeup theory and their experience with working on varied skin. You mentioned in today's video that we could ask you questions or suggest future video content. I have three redness issues. First, Rosacea. Second, I have a severe form of small fiber neuropathy over the entirety of my skin. Sporadically and throughout the day, the nerves in my skin heats up my skin to where it mimics sunburn both by radiating heat and visually looking red. I believe the internal heating of my skin breaks down coverage. Third, I have red mottled skin caused by lupus. This means that there is always a disconnect from my face to my arms, wrists, and hands. So, with the first, I believe red skin coverage is pretty common and would easily garner viewing interest. With the second, while my specific causal issue is rare, I believe coverage over sunburn would have more widespread interest and would, in a roundabout way, provide solutions to me. Lastly, I'm interested in body makeup to cover my arms, wrists, and hands. What and how to apply? How to prevent transfer to clothing? How to make it last? While my reasoning for wanting the body coverage may be not generalized, I assume many would be interested in the subject matter. I plan on looking at your back catelog of content and am excited to learn from you. Thank you for your time. 🦋👩🦰
Really really really love that palette from Huda. I don’t have any of her pallets but I did see Nikki‘s short about how it’s supposed to be her last one. I don’t know but it is really right up my alley. I’m so happy that cool tones are becoming way easier to find than they used to be!💎
I’m watching this a day later because we were celebrating my youngest’s 8th birthday (can’t believe my baby is that big already)! 😭 Love this look, and loved hearing the chat. I turned 40 this year and can honestly say that my 30s were so great in feeling like I came into my own, which in turn set me up for my 40s, and I’m feeling the best I ever have! I love hearing all of the different ages/stages of life everyone here is in, and all of the encouragement! Hope you had a great time celebrating your niece’s birthday as well! ❤
I love the hourglass palette, utterly beautiful. The melt cosmetics palette looks utterly devine as well as does the HUDA palette so many beautiful colours ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Nikki, I have been watching you on UA-cam for a little over a year & I have to say you are a Godsend to this community. I lost my best friend almost 4 years ago & went into a depression, I didn't care if I wore Makeup or not. Watching you gave me the inspiration I needed to get back into Makeup. I am 56 & have hooded eyes & bags under my eyes. I really could use some help with them. Everything you have recommended for dry mature skin has worked for me & I appreciate you so much. I have your complete brush set & a couple extras of a couple of them. Planning to get more when I can. Any advise is appreciated & would love to be a model for you to help others struggling with the same issue. Take care & God Bless .
A504 detailer, A501 lid shader (which can double as crease blending. Pack, blend, tiny bit of deepening of what outer corner is still visible), any of the "mini" line. Or, N13 to set your whole lid, pinch for browbone highlight. No crease? Me neither. N16 can one and done a shadow, especially crème. Use the tapered tip to diffuse edge. Do a soft line with the N11(mini wing optional). Done. We don't have to/often can't do the "standard" routine with a million brushes, and that's OK! Practice at home.
Thanks for the video! I am over 50 and although sometimes it bothers me how my skin is changing and my eyes are much more hooded than before, I think that aging is a privilege. I am super proud to share how old I am!
Hi Nikki! I was such a beauty junkie when I was younger and watched Lisa Eldridge, Sam & Nic Chapman etc when they started. I used to have a 7 step nightly skincare routine and loved playing with makeup. Then I got a burnout and depression and totally lost interest in how I look for a long while. But I’m finally getting the joy back for makeup and skincare. That was when I found your UA-cam-channel a while back. I think I’ve almost seen all your videos by now. I just wanted to tell you that I really love your channel. You’re really good at explaining about both products and application. I feel like I’m definitely going to watch many more videos. 😊 So thank you for being so inspiring. ❤️ /Matilda
Thanks for the video! Had to comment, new to your videos, I've been binging some long ones (every foundation at Sephora, drugstore foundations, 😅) Your brush set is on the way. Love supporting good people. I hope your niece has the best birthday. I'm 39, I have a 3 and a half year old niece, she's spoiled rotten and I love it 🥰 Every time she comes over she wants to play with my makeup, auntie TT never says no. Lol. Anyway, just wanted to share some love, thank you for sparking my creativity back to life. 🐦🔥
Back in the hospital with a migraine with stroke symptoms. Waiting on results and watching your video from this am and all your other videos. I’m 54 and have patched skin from head to toes please send good vibes and prayers. Thank you Nikki.
I have fallen in love with makeup because of you & (you & Allie are my girls) you are so informative, honest and a beautiful person inside and out! So thank you soo much!!!
Hi Nikki, would love to see you do makeup on more mature woman (I saw Angie's but she doesn't have a line on her! lucky girl)!❤ The live was so much fun!
I loved hearing about your niece! Mine is 6 and she just taught me a new makeup technique 😂 It’s called makeup in the dark. She kept the lights off in her bathroom and put blush on her entire face! I didn’t laugh and told her that she’s very creative! 😂 Little girls are so much fun 💖
Hey Nikki, I seem to always miss your live vids! It’s the timezone, I’m in Oz. I’m kinda new to your channel. I’ve been loving your vids, so detailed and informative! Love that you use a mix of drugstore and higher end products in your vids too 🖤
Im in my late 30's and am Loving it. What you said is true, the 30's is when we come into our own and that is so magical and special. On another note, can you recommend Pink Palettes please!
Thanks Nikki love this look. Can’t beat a red lip. Content idea (since you asked!) - I’d love to see you compare an eyeshadow shade across brands so that we can see the difference in formula/ application-kind of like the “all the blushes, or concealer videos” but maybe with a similar shade of shadow. Example- im looking for a cool minky brown shadow (eg Dior beige mitza) but there are so many across brands with diff levels of coverage, sparkle, undertone, eye irritants etc it’s hard to choose. I can’t buy them all! I don’t know if this type of thing appeals to others to learn more about the differences between brands. Also chatting through recommendations would be great- I love when you say “you might love this if a,b,c”. For me undertone is hard to figure out. Love your videos❤️
Yes, I tried the concealer when it 1st came out. I Love it, I'm almost 48. You don't need a lot. Taking the wand out will basically dot your whole face if you use it as foundation also. I also , love the ciele which I also had bought at same time.
Hi Nikki, I wanted to thank you for teaching me how to be comfortable with makeup and also how to troubleshoot when I screw up(mostly my brows). lol. Anyways, I also wanted to ask you to bring in models that are pale. It’s just such a different set of rules for us pale girlies. I am dry/combo, pale with neutral undertones and good lord there are to many things that are scary to play with. Lol. I would love to see you tweet your signature look to see how it would work on a pale face. All three undertones if possible. Yes I know it’s a lot but I’ve been hoping that you’d do that for awhile now. ❤❤❤
Hello Nikki, first I love your channel and your style. I enjoy all your videos because I learn a lot every time. Now I have a question can you provide another option for a hydrating setting spray like the EM cosmetics ones, but one that I can find here in Korea or that ships overseas? Thank you!! Many blessings! 🥰🤗❤
❤ Nikki, you look absolutely stunning!! 😍😍 This look is one of my absolute favorites, your face is glowing! 🤩 I hope y’all had a great time at your niece’s birthday party!! 🎉🎉
Hello! Didn't get to watch live so catching up! 🎉🎉🎉😂 I boughtthe Dragon and Barney's palettes! Purchased early and snagged 20 percent off...HG errored and charged me twice and shipped twice! They did refund me and never responded on return! I gifted the Barney's to my favorite Blue Mercury team member (her choice) and happy to do it as she always looks out for me!!🎉🎉❤ Love your channel- bought your N17brush - saving for special occasion!!❤❤ Also picked up Kulfi concealer but haven't opened yet!! So many😂😂 Ty Nikki! Red is your color!!😍💃💄
Hi Nikki, just gorgeous, as always, love your review and tutorial-hope you had a wonderful time with your 3 year old niece - finishing up this AM with your video-sitting here, answering patient messages this morning-giving my presentation, tomorrow! ❤️
Where can I buy your sweatshirt and mirror? I have to wait till December to purchase it. Sephora sale get me good since I am rouge a lot of good sets and re-purchase
Hey! Absolutely love your videos! Love the red lip too- but on November 13 you posted a kulfi sona sona look on IG and everyone has gone crazy over the red lipstick you wore there! Pls pls pls share the shade of red lipstick from that look! Thankssss!
I've been following you for some time now and I'm such a fan. I've learned so much from you, I'm getting compliments from my "anti-makup" husband all the time 😊. Question: does the Maybelline Fit Me powder work for dry skin? Thank you for everything!❤
@andreadeak294 ahhh I turned 38 in Oct so I get it the mario powder is MY absolute favorite but if I don't moisturize and spray the dalba spray before and after makeup it looks awful the dalba spray has been a miracle for my dry aging undereyes especially
Hi Nikki, love your videos! Please please can you do a video on close-set eyes. There’s hardly any videos out there, I’ve never felt like I can wear eyeshadow as it looks off. xxx
Hi Nikki, you are my favorite person on youtube. I love makeup and skincare, I love shopping it, and I always consult with your videos first. I have watched almost all of them. I want to ask you what do you think about Nabla cosmetics - the blush, bronzer, concealer and etc. ❤❤❤ Bug hugs from me and can't wait to see your next video🥰
42. Hospice nurse, long days, stressful days. Sarah Creal is life. I’m combo skin. I love it. I use it for foundation too. I love Natasha denona, kosas, dior concealer. I love this one.
hi Nikki…you’ve upped my makeup game and my fiancé KEEPS commenting on how good my application is - like daily. he’s lovely, but apparently my makeup warrants all this attention. so thank you.❤ i have a real question: i’ve been looking for a deep red lipstick. i’m black american - the best color match foundation is haus labs 330. mac lip color whirl is in the shade range of my lips. i have seen by kilian the matte lipstick: intoxicating rouge - 240… i went mental buying your brushes and then on the tiktok live, too many other bkbeauty brushes, so i’ve not yet purchased this lipstick. my issue is that the black model on there has the EXACT depth of color i want, but i’ve seen that depth of color on sooo many models in other brands, and i’ve purchased and returned far too many - from mac and fenty to prada and gucci. i want a velvet matte - not one that has any sheen. if you can recommend anything other than the kilian, which i’ll buy if that’s all i can find - but it IS $67, for a lipstick. i’ve spent as much as $52 but really, even that’s ridiculous. THANK YOU for all the master classes, i’m benefiting from your tutelage and am so grateful. ♥️
Hoping you choose the Huda Ivy. I've been trying to decide since I found out Huda is not approved for safety by the USDA. I see out of only one eye so its a big deal if there are any issues you have found.😊
I am going to make it to a Sunday live eventually. I am always doing something and forget. I did just order the mini mirror in the white. Cant wait to use it in my UA-cam videos!
Wait till you’re 63 and see what they ask you you look great whatever age and I know LA. I haven’t been there in a while, but women can be surprised how great you look without running to doctors in LA.
I’m 44, will be 45 next week and I love my 40s!!! My thirties were better than my twenties but my forties are where it’s at. I really know who I am and I make no apologies for it. I don’t have time for the BS lol.
Is dragon a good palette. I would like to buy an hourglass palette and really like the hourglass makeup I have. My skin colour is the same as yours. I am Canadian so the cost is a bit more. Would love your input.
Hi Nikki Would love your help: I have long lashes naturally and also curly hair so the lashes also tend to curl easily and can hold mascara pretty well BUT I do not have many hairs so if I look “volumizing” mascaras is ok? Which formula do you recommend for this? Thank you very much Love your channel 😊
Gosh, Nikki, all of your videos and Live videos are so extremely helpful and informative! I truly learn a new technique or a tip from you in every video! I have super sensitive eyes and I too will have the most watery eyes when I apply any type of eye liner! I will pay more attention to make sure that I keep breathing! Thank you so much for that tip! I have learned so much from you Nikki ☺️🖤 that I have a saved folder on UA-cam that is dedicated to you and your videos! Same with IG and Tiky-Talkie that I have saved in my phone. I’m so confused if we are allowed to use word Smick Smock since I hear from so many creators and subscribers not to use the actual word. I love the Huda Beauty Icy Nude collection so much ✨✨✨ They are shades, shimmer’s, sparkly and ethereal shades that I gravitate towards. I have green eyes and those tones make my eyes pop! I need to venture into warmer shades but when you’ve done the same type of eye looks for so many years it’s hard to try something new and totally different at least for me it is. Speaking of the Huda Beauty sale! Patty Alonso here on UA-cam made the best Sephora Sale guide video with every date that brands like Huda Beauty, Pat McGrath, Danessa Myrick’s, Tarte, Urban Decay and so many others that are more savings and discounted than the Sephora Sale Savings event. I highly recommend checking Patty’s video out. She created one link to use that shows every brand, the discounts, the dates and did a full face using the products from the different brands that she loves and will be heavily discounted through the middle of December ☺️ I love your entire look so much! I line your complexion, your eye looks, the gorgeous red lipstick 💄 l paired with your beautiful top is beyond gorgeous! I love Bailey Sarian! I’ve been watching Bailey and following her for years and years. Way before she stared her amazing True Crime and Makeup series! Ohhh yes I decorated for Christmas 🎄 🎅🏼 ✨ a few weeks ago! It brings me so much joy and happiness! I love my twinkle lights on my tree and other areas of my place!
Hey Nikki, can you remind me what spray you use to clean your powder products? Eyeshadow etc. I remember you talking about it a long time ago but don’t remember the name! Omg, Bear is just the cutest thing! I had a Jack chi who passed away recently (my absolute angel) so I love seeing them in your videos! ❤
You all……. I am 73 and proud of it! I am finally at the stage in life where I do whatever I choose, when I choose. I wear more makeup than I wore in my 30/40s and I love it… I finally have the time.

Also on the other end of the spectrum, deeper skin tones! Sooooo beautiful, I would love to watch those, too! I love this goal of yours for 2025 and I fully support ❤
Thanks for showing the puppies, love them as always!
50s are the best decade; you are finally wise and your body hasn’t started to fall apart yet. I’m 71 now and when I look in the mirror, I’m happy with what I see. And I AGREE with you Nikki, and now I understand why. I always found it insulting and obnoxious when people said I didn’t look my age. It’s because they think you have to apologize for it! Thanks for your advice and generosity.
Hey Nikki, just catching up and watching your Sunday live. Saw comments on Sarah Creal face flex…I’ve got shade 3, I like as far as concealers go. I’m 55 so no concealers look that great on me. BUT I will say the Sarah Creal lipsticks are the best ever, feel awesome and the prettiest colors. You definitely need to try the lipsticks! All of them!
You look amazingly beautiful ❤❤ Happy Birthday to your little niece 🎁🎉🎂 🎈🎈
I'm new to watching your content and thought that I'd introduce myself. I'm 49 years old and didn't do anything more than a very basic makeup until my skin changed due to health changes in 2017. Since then, most of my makeup knowledge has been from beauty influencers. This year, I've been wanting to improve even more and have switched to more pro MUA content because of makeup theory and their experience with working on varied skin.
You mentioned in today's video that we could ask you questions or suggest future video content. I have three redness issues. First, Rosacea. Second, I have a severe form of small fiber neuropathy over the entirety of my skin. Sporadically and throughout the day, the nerves in my skin heats up my skin to where it mimics sunburn both by radiating heat and visually looking red. I believe the internal heating of my skin breaks down coverage. Third, I have red mottled skin caused by lupus. This means that there is always a disconnect from my face to my arms, wrists, and hands.
So, with the first, I believe red skin coverage is pretty common and would easily garner viewing interest.
With the second, while my specific causal issue is rare, I believe coverage over sunburn would have more widespread interest and would, in a roundabout way, provide solutions to me.
Lastly, I'm interested in body makeup to cover my arms, wrists, and hands. What and how to apply? How to prevent transfer to clothing? How to make it last? While my reasoning for wanting the body coverage may be not generalized, I assume many would be interested in the subject matter.
I plan on looking at your back catelog of content and am excited to learn from you. Thank you for your time. 🦋👩🦰
Finally bought some of your brushes today ! So excited to get them 🥰
You look so pretty not all black. Im loving this color
Happy Sunday…better late than never!! Love the red top…very Christmasy! 🎄 🎅🏻
Really really really love that palette from Huda. I don’t have any of her pallets but I did see Nikki‘s short about how it’s supposed to be her last one. I don’t know but it is really right up my alley. I’m so happy that cool tones are becoming way easier to find than they used to be!💎
I’m watching this a day later because we were celebrating my youngest’s 8th birthday (can’t believe my baby is that big already)! 😭 Love this look, and loved hearing the chat. I turned 40 this year and can honestly say that my 30s were so great in feeling like I came into my own, which in turn set me up for my 40s, and I’m feeling the best I ever have! I love hearing all of the different ages/stages of life everyone here is in, and all of the encouragement! Hope you had a great time celebrating your niece’s birthday as well! ❤
I love the hourglass palette, utterly beautiful. The melt cosmetics palette looks utterly devine as well as does the HUDA palette so many beautiful colours ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Nikki, I have been watching you on UA-cam for a little over a year & I have to say you are a Godsend to this community. I lost my best friend almost 4 years ago & went into a depression, I didn't care if I wore Makeup or not. Watching you gave me the inspiration I needed to get back into Makeup. I am 56 & have hooded eyes & bags under my eyes. I really could use some help with them. Everything you have recommended for dry mature skin has worked for me & I appreciate you so much. I have your complete brush set & a couple extras of a couple of them. Planning to get more when I can. Any advise is appreciated & would love to be a model for you to help others struggling with the same issue. Take care & God Bless .
A504 detailer, A501 lid shader (which can double as crease blending. Pack, blend, tiny bit of deepening of what outer corner is still visible), any of the "mini" line. Or, N13 to set your whole lid, pinch for browbone highlight. No crease? Me neither. N16 can one and done a shadow, especially crème. Use the tapered tip to diffuse edge. Do a soft line with the N11(mini wing optional). Done. We don't have to/often can't do the "standard" routine with a million brushes, and that's OK! Practice at home.
Thanks for the video! I am over 50 and although sometimes it bothers me how my skin is changing and my eyes are much more hooded than before, I think that aging is a privilege. I am super proud to share how old I am!
Hi Nikki!
I was such a beauty junkie when I was younger and watched Lisa Eldridge, Sam & Nic Chapman etc when they started.
I used to have a 7 step nightly skincare routine and loved playing with makeup. Then I got a burnout and depression and totally lost interest in how I look for a long while.
But I’m finally getting the joy back for makeup and skincare. That was when I found your UA-cam-channel a while back. I think I’ve almost seen all your videos by now.
I just wanted to tell you that I really love your channel. You’re really good at explaining about both products and application. I feel like I’m definitely going to watch many more videos. 😊
So thank you for being so inspiring. ❤️
/Matilda
Thanks for the video! Had to comment, new to your videos, I've been binging some long ones (every foundation at Sephora, drugstore foundations, 😅) Your brush set is on the way. Love supporting good people. I hope your niece has the best birthday. I'm 39, I have a 3 and a half year old niece, she's spoiled rotten and I love it 🥰 Every time she comes over she wants to play with my makeup, auntie TT never says no. Lol. Anyway, just wanted to share some love, thank you for sparking my creativity back to life. 🐦🔥
Back in the hospital with a migraine with stroke symptoms. Waiting on results and watching your video from this am and all your other videos. I’m 54 and have patched skin from head to toes please send good vibes and prayers. Thank you Nikki.
I'm so sorry to hear that, sending you the best vibes and prayers right now 💔😞
And please keep us all updated ❤️❤️
Praying for you, Marci! 🙏🙏🙏
Prayers
I have fallen in love with makeup because of you & (you & Allie are my girls) you are so informative, honest and a beautiful person inside and out! So thank you soo much!!!
You look beautiful as always. Red is my favorite color on you!😍
Hi Nikki, would love to see you do makeup on more mature woman (I saw Angie's but she doesn't have a line on her! lucky girl)!❤ The live was so much fun!
I literally fall asleep to ur videos every night so relaxing never change we all love u !
My granddaughter is 3❤ I got her a tiny vanity and makeup for Christmas lol. She played with some of my makeup a little while ago and had a blast
I loved hearing about your niece! Mine is 6 and she just taught me a new makeup technique 😂 It’s called makeup in the dark. She kept the lights off in her bathroom and put blush on her entire face! I didn’t laugh and told her that she’s very creative! 😂 Little girls are so much fun 💖
I haven’t caught a live in such a long time, but I’ll always hop on and catch the replay =). ❤
This palette is stunning on you & red is a knockout color on you! You’re gorgeous, Nikki! Have a blessed Thanksgiving!!
Hey Nikki, I seem to always miss your live vids! It’s the timezone, I’m in Oz. I’m kinda new to your channel. I’ve been loving your vids, so detailed and informative! Love that you use a mix of drugstore and higher end products in your vids too 🖤
Im in my late 30's and am Loving it. What you said is true, the 30's is when we come into our own and that is so magical and special.
On another note, can you recommend Pink Palettes please!
Thanks Nikki love this look. Can’t beat a red lip. Content idea (since you asked!) - I’d love to see you compare an eyeshadow shade across brands so that we can see the difference in formula/ application-kind of like the “all the blushes, or concealer videos” but maybe with a similar shade of shadow. Example- im looking for a cool minky brown shadow (eg Dior beige mitza) but there are so many across brands with diff levels of coverage, sparkle, undertone, eye irritants etc it’s hard to choose. I can’t buy them all! I don’t know if this type of thing appeals to others to learn more about the differences between brands. Also chatting through recommendations would be great- I love when you say “you might love this if a,b,c”. For me undertone is hard to figure out. Love your videos❤️
Yes, I tried the concealer when it 1st came out. I Love it, I'm almost 48. You don't need a lot. Taking the wand out will basically dot your whole face if you use it as foundation also. I also , love the ciele which I also had bought at same time.
Watched the replay today beautiful look love love the lips 👄 red is my favorite lipstick.Happy birthday to your nice Nikki ❤️
Wow red is such a beautiful color on you! Sorry I had to miss the live 😢 teaching a training this weekend.
Yay! Finally caught one of your lives! ❤
Hi Nikki, I wanted to thank you for teaching me how to be comfortable with makeup and also how to troubleshoot when I screw up(mostly my brows). lol. Anyways, I also wanted to ask you to bring in models that are pale. It’s just such a different set of rules for us pale girlies. I am dry/combo, pale with neutral undertones and good lord there are to many things that are scary to play with. Lol. I would love to see you tweet your signature look to see how it would work on a pale face. All three undertones if possible. Yes I know it’s a lot but I’ve been hoping that you’d do that for awhile now. ❤❤❤
Hello Nikki, first I love your channel and your style. I enjoy all your videos because I learn a lot every time. Now I have a question can you provide another option for a hydrating setting spray like the EM cosmetics ones, but one that I can find here in Korea or that ships overseas? Thank you!! Many blessings! 🥰🤗❤
❤ Nikki, you look absolutely stunning!! 😍😍 This look is one of my absolute favorites, your face is glowing! 🤩 I hope y’all had a great time at your niece’s birthday party!! 🎉🎉
I love this background because we get to see the puppies! 🐶 ❤
Hi, Nikki! I really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for all you do!
Thank you for being so sweet and helpful with your videos!
I want to be your super old brown girl model. I just turned 71 and I have learned more from you than any other UA-camr. DD Decker
Hello! Didn't get to watch live so catching up! 🎉🎉🎉😂 I boughtthe Dragon and Barney's palettes! Purchased early and snagged 20 percent off...HG errored and charged me twice and shipped twice! They did refund me and never responded on return! I gifted the Barney's to my favorite Blue Mercury team member (her choice) and happy to do it as she always looks out for me!!🎉🎉❤
Love your channel- bought your N17brush - saving for special occasion!!❤❤ Also picked up Kulfi concealer but haven't opened yet!! So many😂😂
Ty Nikki! Red is your color!!😍💃💄
That’s such a pretty top on Nikki!! So pretty ❤
Forties were the best! Im now in my 80's.
I love your love for your pups ❤
Hi Nikki, just gorgeous, as always, love your review and tutorial-hope you had a wonderful time with your 3 year old niece - finishing up this AM with your video-sitting here, answering patient messages this morning-giving my presentation, tomorrow! ❤️
My favorite foundation cocktails is the Estée Lauder and that skin tint from Maybelline 🔥🔥🔥 TRUST ME!
Where can I buy your sweatshirt and mirror? I have to wait till December to purchase it. Sephora sale get me good since I am rouge a lot of good sets and re-purchase
She has the link to her store in the description box below her videos.
What a stunning look Nikki ❤
Nikki, I purchased the Sarah Creal concealer and love it. I have dry mature skin and this works great for me! I always love your looks
Hey! Absolutely love your videos! Love the red lip too- but on November 13 you posted a kulfi sona sona look on IG and everyone has gone crazy over the red lipstick you wore there! Pls pls pls share the shade of red lipstick from that look! Thankssss!
I've been following you for some time now and I'm such a fan. I've learned so much from you, I'm getting compliments from my "anti-makup" husband all the time 😊.
Question: does the Maybelline Fit Me powder work for dry skin? Thank you for everything!❤
I don't love it but that's just me I don't love u the laura merceir that everyone's obsessed with makes my undereyes look aged
@@daphnieconnell9593 Yes, I find it so challenging to choose the right powder for dry skin. My skin is also aging at 38🙈, by the way🤪.
@andreadeak294 ahhh I turned 38 in Oct so I get it the mario powder is MY absolute favorite but if I don't moisturize and spray the dalba spray before and after makeup it looks awful the dalba spray has been a miracle for my dry aging undereyes especially
Hi Nikki, love your videos! Please please can you do a video on close-set eyes. There’s hardly any videos out there, I’ve never felt like I can wear eyeshadow as it looks off. xxx
Hi Nikki, you are my favorite person on youtube. I love makeup and skincare, I love shopping it, and I always consult with your videos first. I have watched almost all of them. I want to ask you what do you think about Nabla cosmetics - the blush, bronzer, concealer and etc. ❤❤❤
Bug hugs from me and can't wait to see your next video🥰
Your blouse is beautiful 😊
Just a quick question. what do you think of Il Makiage foundation and concealer?
42. Hospice nurse, long days, stressful days. Sarah Creal is life. I’m combo skin. I love it. I use it for foundation too. I love Natasha denona, kosas, dior concealer. I love this one.
Love your content so much! Can you please do a video for olive skin tones !! ❤
Your dogs are so cute ❤ you don’t even need foundation!
Came here for Nikki and the makeup....stayed for the doggies😂😂😂 ❤
hi Nikki…you’ve upped my makeup game and my fiancé
KEEPS commenting on how good my application is - like daily. he’s lovely, but apparently my makeup warrants all this attention. so thank you.❤
i have a real question:
i’ve been looking for a deep red lipstick. i’m black american - the best color match foundation is haus labs 330.
mac lip color whirl is in the shade range of my lips.
i have seen by kilian the matte lipstick: intoxicating rouge - 240… i went mental buying your brushes and then on the tiktok live, too many other bkbeauty brushes, so i’ve not yet purchased this lipstick.
my issue is that the black model on there has the EXACT depth of color i want, but i’ve seen that depth of color on sooo many models in other brands, and i’ve purchased and returned far too many - from mac and fenty to prada and gucci.
i want a velvet matte - not one that has any sheen.
if you can recommend anything other than the kilian, which i’ll buy if that’s all i can find - but it IS $67, for a lipstick. i’ve spent as much as $52 but really, even that’s ridiculous.
THANK YOU for all the
master classes, i’m benefiting from your tutelage and am so grateful. ♥️
Hoping you choose the Huda Ivy. I've been trying to decide since I found out Huda is not approved for safety by the USDA. I see out of only one eye so its a big deal if there are any issues you have found.😊
That awkward moment when you have to end the live just keep smiling just keep smiling haha I’m sure everyone can relate 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
I am going to make it to a Sunday live eventually. I am always doing something and forget. I did just order the mini mirror in the white. Cant wait to use it in my UA-cam videos!
I started decorating for Christmas, before Halloween. Even though my house had been decorated, both inside and out, for fall and Halloween
Happy birthday to your niece! 🧁🎂🎉
That lip with that top!❤💄❤️
I know you just launched your merchandise but a nice addition would be a makeup palette to mix on.
Wait till you’re 63 and see what they ask you you look great whatever age and I know LA. I haven’t been there in a while, but women can be surprised how great you look without running to doctors in LA.
I’m 44, will be 45 next week and I love my 40s!!! My thirties were better than my twenties but my forties are where it’s at. I really know who I am and I make no apologies for it. I don’t have time for the BS lol.
Nikki which is the best eye pencil?
Is dragon a good palette. I would like to buy an hourglass palette and really like the hourglass makeup I have. My skin colour is the same as yours. I am Canadian so the cost is a bit more. Would love your input.
I missed the live this week, and while watching this in bed, all I can think of is "thirty, flirty and thriving"😂😂😂
Out of curiosity is the chrome mirror a fingerprint magnet. I can’t decide between the three!
Your such an amazing artist 💓...love love love your videos..and could you please if it's possible what kind of dress are you wearing...🥰 Thank you
Hi Nikki Would love your help: I have long lashes naturally and also curly hair so the lashes also tend to curl easily and can hold mascara pretty well BUT I do not have many hairs so if I look “volumizing” mascaras is ok? Which formula do you recommend for this? Thank you very much Love your channel 😊
what's the best type of lighting for doing make-up?
Gosh, Nikki, all of your videos and Live videos are so extremely helpful and informative! I truly learn a new technique or a tip from you in every video! I have super sensitive eyes and I too will have the most watery eyes when I apply any type of eye liner! I will pay more attention to make sure that I keep breathing! Thank you so much for that tip!
I have learned so much from you Nikki ☺️🖤 that I have a saved folder on UA-cam that is dedicated to you and your videos! Same with IG and Tiky-Talkie that I have saved in my phone.
I’m so confused if we are allowed to use word Smick Smock since I hear from so many creators and subscribers not to use the actual word.
I love the Huda Beauty Icy Nude collection so much ✨✨✨ They are shades, shimmer’s, sparkly and ethereal shades that I gravitate towards. I have green eyes and those tones make my eyes pop! I need to venture into warmer shades but when you’ve done the same type of eye looks for so many years it’s hard to try something new and totally different at least for me it is.
Speaking of the Huda Beauty sale!
Patty Alonso here on UA-cam made the best Sephora Sale guide video with every date that brands like Huda Beauty, Pat McGrath, Danessa Myrick’s, Tarte, Urban Decay and so many others that are more savings and discounted than the Sephora Sale Savings event.
I highly recommend checking Patty’s video out. She created one link to use that shows every brand, the discounts, the dates and did a full face using the products from the different brands that she loves and will be heavily discounted through the middle of December ☺️
I love your entire look so much! I line your complexion, your eye looks, the gorgeous red lipstick 💄 l paired with your beautiful top is beyond gorgeous! I love Bailey Sarian! I’ve been watching Bailey and following her for years and years. Way before she stared her amazing True Crime and Makeup series!
Ohhh yes I decorated for Christmas 🎄 🎅🏼 ✨ a few weeks ago! It brings me so much joy and happiness! I love my twinkle lights on my tree and other areas of my place!
Hey Nikki, can you remind me what spray you use to clean your powder products? Eyeshadow etc. I remember you talking about it a long time ago but don’t remember the name! Omg, Bear is just the cutest thing! I had a Jack chi who passed away recently (my absolute angel) so I love seeing them in your videos! ❤
Love the dogs🥰🥰
I'm loving your bronzer
Nikki love those red brush holders can we buy them? Next merch idea! 😂
❤❤❤❤🎉🎉 love it
Beautiful look ❤
