I've used bare minerals for years, I'm 67, live in GB. Only use the powders, they're amazing. They give a blurring effect to your skin, but are as light as air and seem to disappear but give you amazing skin and hide all blemishes. They improve the condition of your skin, too! Love your videos!
@Val O'Brien Yes Val, I agree that some women throughout the centuries are desperate enough for positive attention (from anyone or everyone else) that they alter their natural God given appearance when in truth physical beauty is so very shallow & meaningless.
I find nothing wrong in improving oneself physically and espiritually. Margaret is beautiful both ways, inspiring women to like themselves and be positive. I love watching her videos!
I love your look, Margaret! I think it’s so important to keep making efforts to look as pretty and polished as possible as we age. We sometimes think the young ladies just look naturally beautiful because they’re young, and they do. But, goodness, do many of these ladies put huge amounts of time, effort, and money to look stunning. I’m 69 now, and I still take time every day to put my makeup on (just love a natural, healthy look) and to dress nicely even if I’m home all day. It’s something I’ve found really enhances my self esteem and my respect for myself as a woman. I very much appreciate your presence and your channel!
I'm 73 and have been using Bare Minerals for 10 years....it's an absolutely amazing product! I never had to wear anything on my face until in my 60's...God blessed me with very good skin and a great complexion...all I ever wore was eye make up. Now ? Learning NOTHING LASTS FOREVER ! God bless pretty lady !
New to this channel. Finally, some sensible advise for the busy, older woman. You’ve managed to just pump up your own natural beauty as opposed to trying to recreate yourself as a twenty year old. You look fantastic.
You look lovely! How nice of you to humbly demonstrate your daily routine. I’m glad you do not overdo your makeup. You look natural and beautiful. Thank you dear. ☺️
Bare Minerals is ideal for the aging skin. I used it for awhile and it didn’t take me long to realize it would be perfect for my mom. She uses the powder foundation. It’s extremely forgiving and hard to mess up. And best of all it photographs beautifully!
You are so right about the powder foundation. It goes on as a powder and the warmth ou f the face makes it blend into the perfect foundation. What I really like is if you should sleep in it, it does not come off on the pillow, still looks fresh in the morning and does not clog pores.
They also have a powder foundation ,which is a fine powder ,it does not melt into the skin ,it is a brillant cover for people with high colouring or roseaca, it is so pure ,you can sleep in it ,but it is a soft focus powder which stays a powder and the coverage you build with a brush ,it's brilliant !!! It has every shade ,in all colours ,and skin tone !!
SO lovely to see a mature woman embrace this stage of her life! Your 'look ' is very natural. I have a very sensitive skin and need to be very consciences of ingredients as I can't wear anything with mica in it and certain red dyes in lip color. Thank you for sharing the Bare Mineral products. My hairstylist love them!
Bare Minerals was the makeup we used in Esthetician School. It is a wonderful product, and you look so natural and pretty. Thank you for the demonstration. And, yes, brown is a better choice for women 60+ (not as harsh).
What a lovely tutorial. I like how you create a finished but not overdone everyday look. So refreshing. I want to try the finishing powder. Thanks for being so real.
1st time here on your channel and I must say you look so beautiful for your young 60 yrs! Your skin is so flawless and clear, you can really tell that you take such great care of yourself! Absolutely stunning! Thank you for teaching your tips and techniques!
A friend introduced me to BareMinerals about 18 years back, and what a change! Finally, a choice of shades to match my pale skin in any season, the products look natural and pretty, and best of all, they actually improve the health of my skin over time. The skincare is also wonderful.
Your finished look was beautiful. I love that you have minimized the application process. I know that I have lessened my products and find that my skin looks better. I truly enjoy your channel.
Thank you, Margaret. After watching this, I got out of my recliner, pulled out my basket of long-neglected makeup and had a fun half hour in front of a lighted mirror. And yes, I DID look a bit better after the experimentation. I've been very lazy about makeup. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you for this channel! Finally, someone I can identify with! Even most of the "mature" woman makeup videos are hosted by these women who look like they are still in their 40's, not their 60's and so I never feel sure that I will get the same result they do. You are beautiful and I love seeing make up applied to a face that is similar to mine. Than you!
You look absolutely fantastic and you have such a glow about you! I really enjoy your make up tutorials. I am 62 and now I know how to properly apply my make up. What a difference it makes when you apply it correctly!
You look MARVELOUS!!! I have followed you for several months now. Following your many suggestions and product recommendations, my looks have improved! Thank you for your candor, encouragement and grace.
Love this video. Makeup does add so much to well presented face. You are such a lovely lady and I enjoy all that you share. So glad you did the Bare Minerals makeup as I have always loved them and their superb quality!
Loved seeing a woman in her 60’s do a tutorial! Great look and it’s helpful to know what products work nicely as we age. I’ve been a Bare Minerals (powder) user for over a decade and plan to try this new foundation! You are beautiful!
Your skin looks especially nice with this foundation. The overall look is so complimentary to you! I think Bare Minerals is a great line and you're finished look is proof of that!
Hi, Margeret bareMinerals is hands down my most favourite brand! I can attest to it looking wonderful on mature skin as my mother looks superb whenever she wears bm! I really enjoyed watching your makeup routine. Much love xoxo Shaz
This Bare Mineral makeup is so flattering yet subtle. I’ve never tried this makeup line but will now after seeing your transformation. Most makeup I’ve used in the past feels like it is smothering my skin or else I have allergic reactions so much so that I feel so discouraged. Thyroid issues have made my eyebrows noticeably scant so I did invest in microblading my brows. It’s been over a year now and I still do not require a touch up.
Margret, I love the finished look. Always wanted to try Bare Minerals but was hesitant. Now I see how wonderful and smooth their product looks I am def going to invest in this product. You look beautiful as always and thank you for sharing . Have a wonderful day my friend.
You look beautiful! I am impressed with bareMinerals in your video! I've never tried any of their products before, but after watching this I think I will. I especially liked their finishing powder on you!
This is a beautiful look for you, Margaret! You are glowing, and the colors look perfect for your complexion. I used to wear Bare Minerals exclusively, back in the day when they had only the powder foundation, and I found that drying as my skin aged. I started wearing just a CC cream, even though it didn't give me more than a very sheer coverage. Now you've made me curious about their new liquid foundations. You look lovely!
You look really lovely. It’s so nice to see you can apply products with just your fingers. This looks so natural and with those on a budget it’s also ideal.
I appreciate your videos very much! I think the Bareminerals are just gorgeous on you. I love the original powder foundation and other products as well.
Makeup really helps give the finished look. You looked beautiful. I am loving your channel. I am struggling with feeling invisible & trying to figure out what I want to do with my life as I turn 60 & feeling as if everyone has moved on with their own life as our children should do, & your spouse has their work & I am unable to do floor nursing anymore due to a health issue of my own . I will follow as I figure this out. Thank you for the channel.
Cherry A19 Johnson I feel invisible too! Thanks for being the first one to voice this! It is an issue and someone needed to start a movement so congrats! I'm injured too but feel many women my age are uncertain of there purpose, or future. Media plays large part as they celebrate only the youngest and most beautiful. That campaign by Dove to let girls know they have value beyond their looks needs to be extended to baby boomers on up. And apparently marriage is really fantastic if I watch TV for 3 seconds I feel like I need to get married stat. Especially at Christmas time! Also the makeover is fabulous, at least from this distance. Bare minerals has always settled in my lines but can look great if you have none of those. Thank God for Elizabeth Arden flawless finish -I can still fake better skin. build-able and believable, can't get it to look bad even at days end. When I need inspiration I go to Monique Parent, as she is comfortable with or without makeup, and real, and funny as hell. You may have seen her in the recent commercial for Overstock. Com, worth checking out. Merry Christmas to all.
@@sherifox6603 Hi Sheri! I'm 64, and struggle everyday with feeling invisible and irrelevant. I wish there was more recognition around this issue, as it seems we're not the only ones. I realized the other day as I walked out of the library, that I tried to make eye contact with other people and smile so they would smile back. I thought about how desperate I felt for someone just to smile back, therefore confirming that I really wasn't invisible. Kids are grown, trying to reinvent myself... Good luck to us, and please know you are absolutely not alone! We will get through this together my friend... Be well.❤
@@janupczak5059 ..this world is in grave danger for different reasons there is so much to adress to it and yet there are partly ppl on the net who have no clue about it. Maybe you could do something good and adopt a homeless animal from a shelter even if it's a small one and give it a better life and love.
@@whiteonyx11 Great minds think alike, lol! I am a life long dog rescue advocate. I always adopt the ones who seem to need the most, then spend the rest of their lives spoiling and loving them! Could never be without a dog. Thanks for the feedback!👌❤
Beautiful! I've used Bareminerals for decades. The powder makeup is what I use, and I've been telling myself it's time to try the liquid because at my age I should stop using the powder, however I really hate the process of finding my color and reason I've stuck with the powder because it doesn't leave a line like liquid does, but maybe it's time to try again, thank you Margaret!
Very upbeat video! Thank you for sharing. I love all L’Oreal products. I saw on the news yesterday that they are giving millions to help rebuild Norte Dame cathedral in Paris. Great company. I’ve been wanting to try bare minerals so appreciate this review. Thanks for your joyful smile.
Margaret, You did a wonderful job applying your makeup. A little makeup really makes a big difference in my opinion, as long as you are using the correct hydrating products they make you look younger. I have a couple of tips, you can try them if you like or if you're not interested, that's fine too. I cannot use those matte liquid lipsticks, they are too drying for me. I watch all these beauty channels and some makeup artists have suggested to apply a thin coating of lip balm on your lips when you begin applying your makeup so it has time to nicely hydrate your lips. When you are ready to apply your lip pencil, you just apply it right on top of the balm and you can fill in your lips with the pencil and then move on to your liquid lip product. You can still apply a little gloss on top, but the lip balm first really helps your lips stay better hydrated. I love the Bare Minerals products, I have been shopping on QVC for years and I remember Leslie Blodgett (founder of Bare Minerals) selling and demonstrating the Bare Minerals products. Back then they only had loose powders for all their products, including foundation, eyeshadow etc. I really only like the mineral veil finishing powder and then when they started making more traditional eyeshadows, blushes, foundation etc did I really start to use the products. The mineral veil is great because you can re-apply it and it doesn't get that thick cakey look. I don't know if you have dry skin, but I wanted to suggest another product to you. It's Tatcha's Silk Canvas primer. It is used under makeup and it helps to protect the skin and keep it hydrated. It is expensive, but you only use a very tiny amount and the product will last you years because their is so much of it. I just thought I would let you know because it's a great product. Well, I think I've written a book here! LOL Thanks for your videos, even though I'm not sixty yet (2 more years), I love your channel! Take care, Ginny XOXOXO
Wonderful comments and suggestions Ginny - i will try the lipstick trick and really appreciate the product recommendation - both great ideas. I am now a huge fan of Bare Minerals - need to investigate their other products. I find the liner in that kit a little thick - will look for a lighter texture eye liner that is not waterproof. The mascara in that set is also waterproof and very hard to remove. Learning all the time! :-)
@@sixtyandme Thank you for your response Margaret. I watch Dr. Dray on youtube, she is a dermatologist. I don't know if you are familiar with her, but she says to just use plain mineral oil to remove eye makeup. I would have thought that mineral oil would clog pores, but she states it does not. I use the Lancome Bi-Facil eye makeup remover (you probably know it). It looks like oil and water in the bottle (probably because their is oil in it to dissolve the waterproof makeup) so you have to shake it up and dab on a cotton pad to remove waterproof eye makeup. It's the best, but you can use plain mineral oil as it so much cheaper!
@@nevertooold6498 I have found that Mary Kay eye makeup remover is by far the very best, #2 Is Clinique's remover, and #3 Is the Lancombe. Mary Kay is the cheapest and is very gentle yet removes every trace of eye makeup.
I tried the Thacha products a few months ago and regret trying them. I started breaking out at 58? And it has been 3 months and I still can get that under control. Story behind it's beautiful, but be careful. I put a review, and they kept deleting it. Before they delete them, I noticed other reviewers were having the same issue, plus Thacha products can be expensive.
@@luckychicav7981 Wow, that is very odd. I know a lot of people that use Tatcha and I really haven't heard that people break out from it. Are you talking about dermatitis or actual pimples? I have tried most of their products as I have been using them since they launched and I have not had any problems at all. And yes, they are an expensive brand. So sorry you had a bad experience, their products work very well for me. Well, I guess it can happen. I don't read the reviews on the products since I have been using the brand for so long that I just buy new releases without checking reviews. Can I ask what you used and the exact outcome? Did you purchase the products directly from their website or QVC? And did you return them? I know QVC will take items back, I don't know about Tatcha themselves. I have heard that a lot of cosmetic/skincare companies will not take returns (like Tom Ford), which is absurd. Especially if you had a bad reaction. Looking forward to your response. Ginny
You look fantastic!!! Love your personality and aesthetic! You.can beat the quality of bareMinerals products. Been a make up artist since 1998 and use many BM items in my clients! Cheers!!!
Very nice tutorial; I also love Bare Minerals and have been using their products since 2004. One thing I would suggest is to use the concealer, it would help brighten the shadows in your under-eye area. My favorite one is from Bare Minerals called the ‘stroke of light’ eye brightener. It’s not applied directly under the eye, but further down where the volume loss is more apparent. It makes the shadows disappear.
Hello Margaret! You look gorgeous without and with make up!!! I am going to see all the products in the information box . That powder you are using looks amazing. Have a great day, Anna
I've used Bare Minerals makeup for 15 years and the face care line for about 2 years, and it's all great. At age 72, to have more than one person tell me I have beautiful skin is pretty remarkable, I think. And I have slept in the makeup when I was too tired to go through the routine of washing, etc., and it didn't make a difference. Great stuff!
Your skin is flawless! I love bare minerals foundation. Ive been using the powder for many years and im always very happy with the results. New subby here yay!!!! I still havnt used the liquid bare minerals because im just used to the powder foundation. Tfs xoxo
I've been using BM since the 1990's I had problems with my skin and it really helped me. Now at 55 I still use it my fave tho is the Prime Time BB in medium and often that's enough for around the house as a base. If going out, I follow it lightly with the powder foundation which gives enough coverage for me. If out of an evening I would add mineral veil on top for a more finished look. All the make up is very buildable . I like the natural finish it gives me and the no make up feel, plus the fact it is natural. I also don't get breakouts or clogged pores using their products. I would recommend trying their 'Well Rested' concealer I use that as an eyelid primer ( it makes eye colours pop and is great under creamy shadows) also I have very dark inner corner to my eyes and this is the only product that works for me. QVC is a great place to buy it as they often have really good kits at great prices, TK Max I noticed often have this in stock too, and online shop gorgeous. Com do it at discounted prices too. 👍🏼 Keep up the good work 😍 and have a very ☃️Happy Xmas☃️x
Margaret, the bare minerals products look beautiful on you. It does not look like you have a hard time with liner because it looked perfect! Your lashes look so long and thick, I have to try this mascara. Love your videos. Elaine
I like the bareMinerals powder make up it’s amazing because you think “oh what can a powder do? “ but when you use it it really really makes your skin look nice. You’ve inspired me to go and get another container of bare minerals make up you look lovely by the way. I think it was Yves Saint Laurent who said, “there are no plain women, just lazy ones”. So true.
Hi Margaret. My first time watching. Loved your show and the makeup. I have used Bare Minerals for years. I switched to something else and am not happy with it so will go back to Bare Minerals after seeing your presentation. You are a beautiful woman and I enjoy finding new products at 74. Blessings, Sandy
Bare minerals started long before 1995. They were called bare essentials and had boutiques all over the country. And her name was Leslie Blodgett. BM started with a powder foundation.
I'm so glad I found your channel! I'm only 48 but I have aging skin. It's nice to get the opinion of another mature woman on makeup for mature skin. I see lots of reviews and makeup tutorials but the reviewers are typically young and don't really have any skin issues. I am having so much difficulty finding a good medium to full coverage liquid foundation for my skin. I have fine lines and wrinkles and some crepey areas. The liquid foundations I have tried seem to accentuate the areas. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thank you for sharing this video and I must say that you look amazing. You are a natural beauty! ❤️
Hi Margaret Just a little tip, I have this foundation and I found that it does have a pump dispenser but it sort of gets stuck in the lid! Perhaps yours has to!
I'm 61and live in England and I used to use to Bare Minerals about twenty years ago. (always powder though) and loved the mineral veil. They used to do a rosy all over glow which was fab and made you look fresh and healthy. I've still a teeny tiny bit left (after all these years!) After seeing your video I may go back to using Bare Minerals again. Thank you.
Thx for reminding me about Mineral Veil. I used to use it years ago but stopped when the Bare Minerals powder foundation was too drying on my skin. I see now they make a liquid foundation. You're look is lovely as is your speaking style. Thx.
I love that you don't wear too much make up. I always ask my son if my make up is too dark. I don't go out much , so I'm not used to putting it on since I retired. Thanks. Love your videos
Very pretty set.....looks like it first came out 3 years ago on QVC and now it is sold out on Amazon. You can purchase these products individually though, I’m sure. I’ve used their stuff for years and I still use the original powder foundation to spot cover my dark age spots after applying liquid foundation.....it’s the only product that truly covers (for my skin) without looking heavy!
Hi Margaret, I really enjoyed this video and appreciate your tips and advice. Your makeup looked wonderful when you had finished; natural and light. Thank you
WOW! You look so young ! I did not know bare minerals has a liquid foundation...that's so awesome. I was just at Ultra and they were trying to talk me into bare minerals powder foundation...which I had tried and didn't care for it (although that was probably 10 years ago). You look really great and young. I am 63 and I am looking forward to use the foundation. Merry Christmas and God bless you dear. ❤
Great video. I've been a BareMinerals convert for four or five years now. I use the Complexion Remedy tinted moisturiser with the matte powder foundation over the top. It gives a lighter finish than the full coverage foundation. I love the Ju-Ju lip colour too :-)
Thank you so much for this beautiful demonstration. I've been using Bare Minerals makeup for years and still love it. However now that I'm older was wondering if I should change, cause I keep hearing folks say that using a powder on older skin is all wrong. I use the powder foundation, very lightly applied, and the Mineral Veil finishing powder. It looks good to me and my husband, but can I still trust my evaluation, we're biased! I didn't realize they have a liquid foundation now, so will check that out. I don't want to feel heavily made up, light coverage, not trying to hide everything. You look beautiful and, as they say "still relevant and in the game". That's what I'm going for. Keep up the good tips.
Thank you Margaret. Very informative make up tutorial. Beautiful result. I use a mineral powder called Thin Lizzy which has a similar finish... Just enhances your look without appearing overdone. Creates a very light glow. I love your videos. I'm a secondary school teacher in my 60s living in New Zealand. I really appreciate your creating this community. A wonderful resource. Alofa atu 💖👍😊
I have the fondest memories of my mother and her love of fashion and make up. A woman of the 60's her style emulated Jackie Kennedy's/Audrey hepburn fashion sense... the pillbox hats, the A-line coats with high turned over collars, dresses with simple lines, ending just above the knee, 3/4 length sleeves and gloves. Makeup: Ponds moisturiser, powder and red lipstick. When she developed Alzheimers, I made sure she looked as fabulous as she could under the circumstances. Like her I love to wear make up (not too much) and beautiful clothes and colours that make me feel good... I also love the creative aspect of it.... It's so much fun!!
I found your channel and so glad that I did. Being in my 70's I find it more and more difficult to find a simple makeup routine or the right products. I hate going somewhere and having a 20 something putting gunk on my face with caterpillar eyebrows and not having a clue what to do with a mature face - sigh. Lately I've been dabbling with Benefit products, I love their concealer it really does conceal the odd spots. My biggest issue is eyebrows, or lack of. My hair is white/gray/silver and my brows are very thin. It can be a tough cosmetic world out there for us. Thanks so much for this video, you're lovely.
I was so happy to come across your channel and even more happy to find you have lots of lovely followers with great comments i can relate to...thank you x
Very nice! I love eye liner in brown, too. Black is too harsh for those of us who are fair. I fill in my lips with my lip liner, too. And I use the Loreal infallible lip gloss over my matte lipsticks. Your cheek bones are spectacular.
I have used Bare Minerals for years! I love their mineral veil which gives an air brushed look. Their lipsticks are really nice too! Although I sometimes use other organic makeup products ( 100% Pure or Juice Beauty) I always use Bare Minerals foundation. You look beautiful and refreshed using this makeup! So glad you tried it and that you like it!💕
I have been using Bare Minerals powder foundation for probably 20 years now. I simply cannot use a wet foundation anymore....I don't like the feel of the liquid. You look absolutely lovely! Your skin looks flawless, and the soft colors you used for blush and lips are just the right color!
A very pretty look, the foundation does come with a lockable pump, you might find you have un-screwed the whole thing and the pump is in the cap. I love Bare Minerals and have used them for years on and off.
Thank you I used Bare Minerals when it first came out but stopped. I am going to try it again after seeing these beautiful results thank you again for making ageing beautiful
Wow. Applying that final (diamond?) powder really did it. Your skin looks flawless and smooth, yet the brightness of the blush looks so youthful. You look beautiful; it looks so natural. Thank you for the demo in this product line!! :-)
Margarete that is one of your most attractive tutorials it is really becoming on you it all seems to come together. That’s whole look is bad winner. Bea
VERY well done. You look fantastic in such a short amount of time. Looks like great products. I’ll probably try them. I enjoy your pleasant disposition as well. Thank you.
I've used bare minerals for years, I'm 67, live in GB. Only use the powders, they're amazing. They give a blurring effect to your skin, but are as light as air and seem to disappear but give you amazing skin and hide all blemishes. They improve the condition of your skin, too! Love your videos!

They also have a powder foundation ,which is a fine powder ,it does not melt into the skin ,it is a brillant cover for people with high colouring or roseaca, it is so pure ,you can sleep in it ,but it is a soft focus powder which stays a powder and the coverage you build with a brush ,it's brilliant !!! It has every shade ,in all colours ,and skin tone !!

Hi, Margeret bareMinerals is hands down my most favourite brand! I can attest to it looking wonderful on mature skin as my mother looks superb whenever she wears bm! I really enjoyed watching your makeup routine. Much love xoxo Shaz
Wow, looks great on you Margaret--very natural and not overdone. Your smile brightens my day. Love your videos.
This Bare Mineral makeup is so flattering yet subtle. I’ve never tried this makeup line but will now after seeing your transformation. Most makeup I’ve used in the past feels like it is smothering my skin or else I have allergic reactions so much so that I feel so discouraged. Thyroid issues have made my eyebrows noticeably scant so I did invest in microblading my brows. It’s been over a year now and I still do not require a touch up.
Margret, I love the finished look. Always wanted to try Bare Minerals but was hesitant. Now I see how wonderful and smooth their product looks I am def going to invest in this product. You look beautiful as always and thank you for sharing . Have a wonderful day my friend.
You are adorable. I just turned 60 and can’t believe it. You inspire me to embrace my chronological age with joy and grace.
Very nice Margaret, looks great! The colors look really nice on you, very glowy and natural. Thanks for showing us :)
You look healthy and fresh. Not overdone. I so enjoy your daily newsletter and your inspirational messages💞
You are a very genuine and likable person
Thank you Lucia!
You look beautiful! I am impressed with bareMinerals in your video! I've never tried any of their products before, but after watching this I think I will. I especially liked their finishing powder on you!
Hello CapturedAngel13
This is a beautiful look for you, Margaret! You are glowing, and the colors look perfect for your complexion. I used to wear Bare Minerals exclusively, back in the day when they had only the powder foundation, and I found that drying as my skin aged. I started wearing just a CC cream, even though it didn't give me more than a very sheer coverage. Now you've made me curious about their new liquid foundations. You look lovely!
The Bare Minerals Pro foundation I used is definitely full coverage.
You look really lovely. It’s so nice to see you can apply products with just your fingers. This looks so natural and with those on a budget it’s also ideal.
I appreciate your videos very much! I think the Bareminerals are just gorgeous on you. I love the original powder foundation and other products as well.
You look absolutely gorgeous, just the most beautiful, glowy look. Love it so much on you! Thanks so much for sharing.
Hello Jenny
You are such a lovely lady. Thanks for sharing these tips and products!
Hello Linda
Makeup really helps give the finished look. You looked beautiful. I am loving your channel. I am struggling with feeling invisible & trying to figure out what I want to do with my life as I turn 60 & feeling as if everyone has moved on with their own life as our children should do, & your spouse has their work & I am unable to do floor nursing anymore due to a health issue of my own . I will follow as I figure this out. Thank you for the channel.
CherryA19 Johnson very good Roseburg
Cherry A19 Johnson I feel invisible too! Thanks for being the first one to voice this! It is an issue and someone needed to start a movement so congrats! I'm injured too but feel many women my age are uncertain of there purpose, or future. Media plays large part as they celebrate only the youngest and most beautiful. That campaign by Dove to let girls know they have value beyond their looks needs to be extended to baby boomers on up. And apparently marriage is really fantastic if I watch TV for 3 seconds I feel like I need to get married stat. Especially at Christmas time! Also the makeover is fabulous, at least from this distance. Bare minerals has always settled in my lines but can look great if you have none of those. Thank God for Elizabeth Arden flawless finish -I can still fake better skin. build-able and believable, can't get it to look bad even at days end. When I need inspiration I go to Monique Parent, as she is comfortable with or without makeup, and real, and funny as hell. You may have seen her in the recent commercial for Overstock. Com, worth checking out. Merry Christmas to all.
@@sherifox6603 Hi Sheri! I'm 64, and struggle everyday with feeling invisible and irrelevant. I wish there was more recognition around this issue, as it seems we're not the only ones. I realized the other day as I walked out of the library, that I tried to make eye contact with other people and smile so they would smile back. I thought about how desperate I felt for someone just to smile back, therefore confirming that I really wasn't invisible. Kids are grown, trying to reinvent myself... Good luck to us, and please know you are absolutely not alone! We will get through this together my friend... Be well.❤
@@janupczak5059 ..this world is in grave danger for different reasons there is so much to adress to it and yet there are partly ppl on the net who have no clue about it. Maybe you could do something good and adopt a homeless animal from a shelter even if it's a small one and give it a better life and love.
@@whiteonyx11 Great minds think alike, lol! I am a life long dog rescue advocate. I always adopt the ones who seem to need the most, then spend the rest of their lives spoiling and loving them! Could never be without a dog. Thanks for the feedback!👌❤
Great tutorial for a natural but finished look. I enjoy Bare Minerals and have used their products for years.
Beautiful! I've used Bareminerals for decades. The powder makeup is what I use, and I've been telling myself it's time to try the liquid because at my age I should stop using the powder, however I really hate the process of finding my color and reason I've stuck with the powder because it doesn't leave a line like liquid does, but maybe it's time to try again, thank you Margaret!
Very upbeat video! Thank you for sharing. I love all L’Oreal products. I saw on the news yesterday that they are giving millions to help rebuild Norte Dame cathedral in Paris. Great company. I’ve been wanting to try bare minerals so appreciate this review. Thanks for your joyful smile.
Margaret, You did a wonderful job applying your makeup. A little makeup really makes a big difference in my opinion, as long as you are using the correct hydrating products they make you look younger. I have a couple of tips, you can try them if you like or if you're not interested, that's fine too. I cannot use those matte liquid lipsticks, they are too drying for me. I watch all these beauty channels and some makeup artists have suggested to apply a thin coating of lip balm on your lips when you begin applying your makeup so it has time to nicely hydrate your lips. When you are ready to apply your lip pencil, you just apply it right on top of the balm and you can fill in your lips with the pencil and then move on to your liquid lip product. You can still apply a little gloss on top, but the lip balm first really helps your lips stay better hydrated. I love the Bare Minerals products, I have been shopping on QVC for years and I remember Leslie Blodgett (founder of Bare Minerals) selling and demonstrating the Bare Minerals products. Back then they only had loose powders for all their products, including foundation, eyeshadow etc. I really only like the mineral veil finishing powder and then when they started making more traditional eyeshadows, blushes, foundation etc did I really start to use the products. The mineral veil is great because you can re-apply it and it doesn't get that thick cakey look. I don't know if you have dry skin, but I wanted to suggest another product to you. It's Tatcha's Silk Canvas primer. It is used under makeup and it helps to protect the skin and keep it hydrated. It is expensive, but you only use a very tiny amount and the product will last you years because their is so much of it. I just thought I would let you know because it's a great product. Well, I think I've written a book here! LOL Thanks for your videos, even though I'm not sixty yet (2 more years), I love your channel! Take care, Ginny XOXOXO
Wonderful comments and suggestions Ginny - i will try the lipstick trick and really appreciate the product recommendation - both great ideas. I am now a huge fan of Bare Minerals - need to investigate their other products. I find the liner in that kit a little thick - will look for a lighter texture eye liner that is not waterproof. The mascara in that set is also waterproof and very hard to remove. Learning all the time! :-)
@@sixtyandme Thank you for your response Margaret. I watch Dr. Dray on youtube, she is a dermatologist. I don't know if you are familiar with her, but she says to just use plain mineral oil to remove eye makeup. I would have thought that mineral oil would clog pores, but she states it does not. I use the Lancome Bi-Facil eye makeup remover (you probably know it). It looks like oil and water in the bottle (probably because their is oil in it to dissolve the waterproof makeup) so you have to shake it up and dab on a cotton pad to remove waterproof eye makeup. It's the best, but you can use plain mineral oil as it so much cheaper!
@@nevertooold6498 I have found that Mary Kay eye makeup remover is by far the very best, #2 Is Clinique's remover, and #3 Is the Lancombe. Mary Kay is the cheapest and is very gentle yet removes every trace of eye makeup.
I tried the Thacha products a few months ago and regret trying them. I started breaking out at 58? And it has been 3 months and I still can get that under control. Story behind it's beautiful, but be careful. I put a review, and they kept deleting it. Before they delete them, I noticed other reviewers were having the same issue, plus Thacha products can be expensive.
@@luckychicav7981 Wow, that is very odd. I know a lot of people that use Tatcha and I really haven't heard that people break out from it. Are you talking about dermatitis or actual pimples? I have tried most of their products as I have been using them since they launched and I have not had any problems at all. And yes, they are an expensive brand. So sorry you had a bad experience, their products work very well for me. Well, I guess it can happen. I don't read the reviews on the products since I have been using the brand for so long that I just buy new releases without checking reviews. Can I ask what you used and the exact outcome? Did you purchase the products directly from their website or QVC? And did you return them? I know QVC will take items back, I don't know about Tatcha themselves. I have heard that a lot of cosmetic/skincare companies will not take returns (like Tom Ford), which is absurd. Especially if you had a bad reaction. Looking forward to your response. Ginny
I've used the Bare Minerals powder foundation for years. I love your hand mirror. It is so colorful and fun.
Hello Sharon
You look fantastic!!! Love your personality and aesthetic! You.can beat the quality of bareMinerals products. Been a make up artist since 1998 and use many BM items in my clients! Cheers!!!
Did you mean "you CAN'T beat the quality"?
I liked the demonstration, I have used some of these products which are good. You inspire to want to apply makeup. Keep up the good work x
Looks beautiful on you Margaret, your definitely right about the setting powder really can see the difference and it does look fresh
Debra
Thanks so much
Very nice tutorial; I also love Bare
Minerals and have been using their products since 2004. One thing I would suggest is to use the concealer, it would help brighten the shadows in your under-eye area. My favorite one is from Bare Minerals called the ‘stroke of light’ eye brightener. It’s not applied directly under the eye, but further down where the volume loss is more apparent. It makes the shadows disappear.
Hello Margaret! You look gorgeous without and with make up!!! I am going to see all the products in the information box . That powder you are using looks amazing. Have a great day, Anna
I've used Bare Minerals makeup for 15 years and the face care line for about 2 years, and it's all great. At age 72, to have more than one person tell me I have beautiful skin is pretty remarkable, I think. And I have slept in the makeup when I was too tired to go through the routine of washing, etc., and it didn't make a difference. Great stuff!
you are so nice ! your videos are the sunshine of my mornings ! With my gratitude
Thank you so much Sandrine - have a lovely weekend!
This was so nice to watch. You're so cute! I've always had an aversion to makeup but this makes me think I could learn to wear a bit!
I'm impressed foundation goes on so easily with fingers!!💕
The thing I saw about the “make over” wasn’t the makeup, it was her beautiful smile ! That’s all she needed what a lovely lady
So happy that I just found you.... I love you, your smile and your voice xxx
Your skin is flawless! I love bare minerals foundation. Ive been using the powder for many years and im always very happy with the results. New subby here yay!!!! I still havnt used the liquid bare minerals because im just used to the powder foundation. Tfs xoxo
I've been using BM since the 1990's I had problems with my skin and it really helped me.
Now at 55 I still use it my fave tho is the Prime Time BB in medium and often that's enough for around the house as a base. If going out, I follow it lightly with the powder foundation which gives enough coverage for me. If out of an evening I would add mineral veil on top for a more finished look. All the make up is very buildable . I like the natural finish it gives me and the no make up feel, plus the fact it is natural. I also don't get breakouts or clogged pores using their products.
I would recommend trying their 'Well Rested' concealer I use that as an eyelid primer ( it makes eye colours pop and is great under creamy shadows) also I have very dark inner corner to my eyes and this is the only product that works for me.
QVC is a great place to buy it as they often have really good kits at great prices, TK Max I noticed often have this in stock too, and online shop gorgeous. Com do it at discounted prices too. 👍🏼 Keep up the good work 😍 and have a very ☃️Happy Xmas☃️x
Margaret, the bare minerals products look beautiful on you. It does not look like you have a hard time with liner because it looked perfect! Your lashes look so long and thick, I have to try this mascara. Love your videos. Elaine
Thanks very much Elaine!
@@sixtyandme I think if you just pull the top off instead of unscrewing it has a pump! Elaine
I like the bareMinerals powder make up it’s amazing because you think “oh what can a powder do? “ but when you use it it really really makes your skin look nice. You’ve inspired me to go and get another container of bare minerals make up you look lovely by the way. I think it was Yves Saint Laurent who said, “there are no plain women, just lazy ones”. So true.
Hi Margaret. My first time watching. Loved your show and the makeup. I have used Bare Minerals for years. I switched to something else and am not happy with it so will go back to Bare Minerals after seeing your presentation. You are a beautiful woman and I enjoy finding new products at 74. Blessings, Sandy
Thank you very nice application, love that lamp in the background it's gorgeous 👋🏼
That’s really lovely! Thank you for sharing this with us!
Bare minerals started long before 1995. They were called bare essentials and had boutiques all over the country. And her name was Leslie Blodgett. BM started with a powder foundation.
The company's name is Bare Essentials and the name of their mineral makeup line is Bare Minerals..

I'm so glad I found your channel! I'm only 48 but I have aging skin. It's nice to get the opinion of another mature woman on makeup for mature skin. I see lots of reviews and makeup tutorials but the reviewers are typically young and don't really have any skin issues. I am having so much difficulty finding a good medium to full coverage liquid foundation for my skin. I have fine lines and wrinkles and some crepey areas. The liquid foundations I have tried seem to accentuate the areas. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thank you for sharing this video and I must say that you look amazing. You are a natural beauty! ❤️
Hi Margaret Just a little tip, I have this foundation and I found that it does have a pump dispenser but it sort of gets stuck in the lid! Perhaps yours has to!
I'm 61and live in England and I used to use to Bare Minerals about twenty years ago. (always powder though) and loved the mineral veil. They used to do a rosy all over glow which was fab and made you look fresh and healthy. I've still a teeny tiny bit left (after all these years!) After seeing your video I may go back to using Bare Minerals again. Thank you.
I recently discovered bare minerals and I love their products!,thank you for sharing this video and the company’s story.
Been using Bare Minerals since 1995 also! !!! Where did she buy the wig!?
Thx for reminding me about Mineral Veil. I used to use it years ago but stopped when the Bare Minerals powder foundation was too drying on my skin. I see now they make a liquid foundation. You're look is lovely as is your speaking style. Thx.
Great demo of these products, thank you! Xx
I love that you don't wear too much make up. I always ask my son if my make up is too dark. I don't go out much , so I'm not used to putting it on since I retired. Thanks. Love your videos
Thanks Mary
She is adorable! very confident. Thank you so much for your tips :)
What a LOVE-ly presentation! :) THANK YOU!!
Hey 👋 😊
The finish look is really pretty and natural, that I like .Beautiful!🌞
Glad you like it!
Very pretty set.....looks like it first came out 3 years ago on QVC and now it is sold out on Amazon. You can purchase these products individually though, I’m sure. I’ve used their stuff for years and I still use the original powder foundation to spot cover my dark age spots after applying liquid foundation.....it’s the only product that truly covers (for my skin) without looking heavy!
Thank you for sharing your beauty tips. I am heading to 60 but rarely use makeup. It is nice to put it on now & then when going out somewhere special.
Hi Margaret, I really enjoyed this video and appreciate your tips and advice. Your makeup looked wonderful when you had finished; natural and light. Thank you
WOW! You look so young ! I did not know bare minerals has a liquid foundation...that's so awesome. I was just at Ultra and they were trying to talk me into bare minerals powder foundation...which I had tried and didn't care for it (although that was probably 10 years ago). You look really great and young. I am 63 and I am looking forward to use the foundation. Merry Christmas and God bless you dear. ❤
Great video. I've been a BareMinerals convert for four or five years now. I use the Complexion Remedy tinted moisturiser with the matte powder foundation over the top. It gives a lighter finish than the full coverage foundation. I love the Ju-Ju lip colour too :-)
Very nice simplicity is my go to and this look is so natural. I love it
Hello lorraine
I love the mineral veil. I have used it for years! You look awesome!
Hello Debbie
Thank you so much for this beautiful demonstration. I've been using Bare Minerals makeup for years and still love it. However now that I'm older was wondering if I should change, cause I keep hearing folks say that using a powder on older skin is all wrong. I use the powder foundation, very lightly applied, and the Mineral Veil finishing powder. It looks good to me and my husband, but can I still trust my evaluation, we're biased! I didn't realize they have a liquid foundation now, so will check that out. I don't want to feel heavily made up, light coverage, not trying to hide everything. You look beautiful and, as they say "still relevant and in the game". That's what I'm going for. Keep up the good tips.
Thank you Margaret. Very informative make up tutorial. Beautiful result. I use a mineral powder called Thin Lizzy which has a similar finish... Just enhances your look without appearing overdone. Creates a very light glow. I love your videos. I'm a secondary school teacher in my 60s living in New Zealand. I really appreciate your creating this community. A wonderful resource. Alofa atu 💖👍😊
Have not herd of Thin Lizzy Anne - will check it out!
I have the fondest memories of my mother and her love of fashion and make up. A woman of the 60's her style emulated Jackie Kennedy's/Audrey hepburn fashion sense... the pillbox hats, the A-line coats with high turned over collars, dresses with simple lines, ending just above the knee, 3/4 length sleeves and gloves. Makeup: Ponds moisturiser, powder and red lipstick. When she developed Alzheimers, I made sure she looked as fabulous as she could under the circumstances. Like her I love to wear make up (not too much) and beautiful clothes and colours that make me feel good... I also love the creative aspect of it.... It's so much fun!!
I found your channel and so glad that I did. Being in my 70's I find it more and more difficult to find a simple makeup routine or the right products. I hate going somewhere and having a 20 something putting gunk on my face with caterpillar eyebrows and not having a clue what to do with a mature face - sigh. Lately I've been dabbling with Benefit products, I love their concealer it really does conceal the odd spots. My biggest issue is eyebrows, or lack of. My hair is white/gray/silver and my brows are very thin. It can be a tough cosmetic world out there for us. Thanks so much for this video, you're lovely.
You look great! This is my favorite product on you. So pretty
Beautiful. Highlights everything but still looks natural and fresh.
I was so happy to come across your channel and even more happy to find you have lots of lovely followers with great comments i can relate to...thank you x
Thank you for sharing🍁
You look very nice in the Bare Minerals makeup, very natural.
Thank you very much Jeanne - i really do love their products! Have you used them?
Very nice! I love eye liner in brown, too. Black is too harsh for those of us who are fair. I fill in my lips with my lip liner, too. And I use the Loreal infallible lip gloss over my matte lipsticks. Your cheek bones are spectacular.
I have used Bare Minerals for years! I love their mineral veil which gives an air brushed look. Their lipsticks are really nice too! Although I sometimes use other organic makeup products ( 100% Pure or Juice Beauty) I always use Bare Minerals foundation. You look beautiful and refreshed using this makeup! So glad you tried it and that you like it!💕
Hello Cindy
I have been using Bare Minerals powder foundation for probably 20 years now. I simply cannot use a wet foundation anymore....I don't like the feel of the liquid. You look absolutely lovely! Your skin looks flawless, and the soft colors you used for blush and lips are just the right color!
Thanks Sharon - i do love Bare Minerals products!
A very pretty look, the foundation does come with a lockable pump, you might find you have un-screwed the whole thing and the pump is in the cap. I love Bare Minerals and have used them for years on and off.
Hello Yvonne
Thank you I used Bare Minerals when it first came out but stopped. I am going to try it again after seeing these beautiful results thank you again for making ageing beautiful
Absolutely best make up look I've seen on you! Lovely.
Love learning about make up, I’m 61 and loving your channel
You are lovely in looks, but especially lovely in spirit. I'm your newest subscriber- thank you for sharing your gifts!
Hello Bettsi
Wow. Applying that final (diamond?) powder really did it. Your skin looks flawless and smooth, yet the brightness of the blush looks so youthful. You look beautiful; it looks so natural. Thank you for the demo in this product line!! :-)
Margarete that is one of your most attractive tutorials it is really becoming on you it all seems to come together. That’s whole look is bad winner. Bea
VERY well done. You look fantastic in such a short amount of time. Looks like great products. I’ll probably try them. I enjoy your pleasant disposition as well. Thank you.
Wow I just loved that finishing powder for sure, although the lid liner looked natural and I liked that brush. Thanks so much for sharing 😃
