    Welcome to the official UA-cam channel of Nikol Johnson!💄
    My Channel empowers women to show up and be BOLD, FIERCE, and Unapologetic. I talk a lot about this in my book Beauty Reinvented, available through Amazon! It's not just about going gray young; it's about a powerful movement for women to break out and have NO BEAUTY RULES.
    ➡️ None of what I show on this channel is what “mainstream” UA-cam makeup tutorials will show you. Instead of telling you to put loads of makeup on (which makes you look like a different person), I want to show you how to “reveal” the beauty that you already have and teach you how to look GREAT while still looking like yourself.
    📆 I am so happy to see you each week on Mondays and Thursdays at 10 AM EST.

      Me too! I did suffer endometriosis for years. My mother the nurse would say, get used to it. It’s going to happen every month. In college I went to the obgyn on my own and started a regimen of small dose Codeine one or two days a week. I still had the other effects of endometriosis but not the mind numbing pain. This was before doctors operated on us for that. Now I’m just happy to be here enjoying your talks with us and loving life.😊

      Thank you so much for this post! We live in a world where kindness gets distorted by “ truth”!! People feel that “truth” entitles them to say anything they want. I guess creators open themselves up to scrutiny but I find it distressing that followers feel it’s acceptable to try and destroy someone’s self image. Everyday life is hard enough. When finding fault in something ( if you must) find a way to say it empathetically and kind. It’s really not that difficult!!!

    No one looks like that in their 80s. It’s pretty obvious she’s had a face lift or other work. She has every right to do that but I see your point because she shouldn’t say it’s all skin care.

      @@virginiaconway374 Martha is more than likely burdened with additional psychological issues concerning fears about her relevance in the world as an ageing woman, fears of loss, of dying etc. I see these fears as mental illness. Women who stay relevant to society are more concerned about the well being and the love they extend towards others, during the time left. Raquel Welch died at 82 this year, looking like a million bucks.

      Enjoy your channel. I have found its nieve to think someone in their 80's looks like that with no help from cosmetic injectibles, surgery etc. Perhaps you were in denial or lala land I've been there too, lol. Many women don't share what they have done & will not tell the truth about it ever for a variety of reasons. It"s none of our business but wish their was more openness about it. I'm an open book about my cosmetic procedures but I have found it's not the norm.

    I am 75 years old and I don’t care what Martha Stewart says or doesn’t say. Remember, she went to prison, and served time, for being dishonest. Now, if you lied to me, I would be hurt because I have a “personal” relationship with you: I am a subscriber and purchase your products. Continue doing what you are doing: you are respected and admired by many. One of your best qualities is your honesty.

      She was set up by the Federal Government.
      Have you not lied? Do you have any idols?
      Have you ever lusted, even with your eyes?
      Do you hate?
      See where we are going here?
      Martha Stewart lived in a world where she wouldn't compromise with the elites and their dark, unspeakable deeds.
      Her new and unlikely business relationships may just be protecting her from those who would rather have her gone.
      While incarcerated, she used her skills to help women learn basic skills that would help them attain gainful employment after release.
      Martha Stewart's disclosure about injections is no big deal, just tabloid fodder.
      She's always grown and eaten a variety of unprocessed foods and sewn the seeds of inner beauty as well as external.
      But that one mistake...

I turned 66 last year and I decided after seeing many of your videos and just getting tired of the decades of color upkeep and the version of someone else's idea of me, that it was time to see ME again. My grey journey began. Oh and after years of not wearing make-up (and I just LOVE make-up) That you inspired me in that too. Don't ever change, you're like the neighborhood girlfriend we all wish we had.🥰

    Just turned 67 ..... I have a "few" more pounds on me than I did when I was working. When I run into people from those days, they always comment on my weight and say with glee say "oh, I remember how tiny you used to be." I just laugh, but it does hurt. I do take care of myself by trying to eat right and exercising. I figure at this point, I've outlived my mother so I must be doing something right. Point is, haters are going to hate. I refuse to be one of the haters and I'm glad I found your channel.

      Hi I'm 73 also and she is such an inspiration! For instance I recently started wearing a little bit of sheen in my eyeshadow! easily 20 years ago I was told never to do that anymore but I'm at the point now mainly because of Nikol that I thought I'm gonna do what I want if you don't like it don't look at it lol what blows me away is the hateful comments she gets on Instagram which I have not been on there I don't get into that but it reminds me of what my mother always used to tell the three girls in our family "jealousy shows!"
      and as for Martha Stewart here's another quote I am fond of saying if you believed she used skin care to look the way she looks then

    I'm 77 years old and I appreciate all the work you do to promote positive aging for women. Personally, I don't care what Martha or anyone else does to themselves. If it makes you feel better, you do you. Where I have an issue is being in the public eye and pretending that you are 82 and still look 50 because you slather on some face cream at night. I don't like being lied to and no one really believes it. Just be real and I'm fine with whatever you choose to do.

      You would have to be extremely credulous to believe anyone can look like this at 82. I think it's great she's had a few facelifts, lots of botox, and fillers. That's maintenance, and no need to disclose, although lying is unnecessary. The photoshopping and filters, however, those are truly bad faith, and what people don't realize are really at play. She most certainly looks very different in real life, even with all her procedures.

Tomorrow is not guaranteed, be so very thankful for what you have today. So someone has had work done, who cares? Own up to it or not, it is not important in the scheme of things.

    One of the things that the internet has done to people is, you can say what you think, because they do not see you face to face. The internet has created a culture that has no manners. What I mean by that is you can be mean and hurtful and no suffer the consequences. Stay true to yourself that’s what matters!! 🥰💜💜

People are so focused on looks, they don’t think deeply about health and how that affects your skin and hair etc. I see celebrities and feel terrible about myself.

    Dear, wonderful, beautiful and wise Nikol, I love your makeup tips but adore your philosophy even more! I joined my first 12-Step fellowship in 1990, have been in personal therapy for decades, and just turned 61 a few weeks ago. A few things I have learned over the years are that hurt people hurt people. When haters hate, I always wonder what happened to them to make them like they are. The other thing I have learned that has been extremely helpful in my life is to go where the love is and not where it should be. In other words, don't waste a second of your time on people who are mean and vindictive toward you but spend your time with people who provide you with kindness, support and unconditional love. And don't let negative comments occupy valuable space in your head. Save that for affirmations and happy memories. Last but not least, I think it's our responsibility to try to turn the tide of hate around and be kind and loving to all. Give out genuinely deserved compliments randomly to people you encounter in your daily life, and try to do everything you do, whatever it is, in love. Keep up the fabulous work, my lovely Nikol, you are such a source of truth and light! 😘❤

But, I think the most damaging statements have come from my own head, sadly. That's why I love this channel. You have really inspired me to throw out the 20 or so unused palettes of makeup that I have and opt for what works. It's so refreshing. This channel is my safe place. Love to you and everyone here. I say: Let's keep this beauty going!!!❤

Please check them and let them know if they want to continue to be in ur presence that it requires sincere love and respect. I am 53 and it's always been a part of my DNA makeup since my teen years to not tolerate disrespect from anyone wanting to be in my presence so either I stop dealing with them or I call them out and they will either coarse correct or remove themselves from my presence. I don't crave the attention or presence of anyone who wants to disrespect me and who lacks true concern for me. It's their loss if they don't choose to abide by my wishes. U deserve respect and sincere love!

I appreciate having a such a positive and powerful role model in my life! Oh and Martha?

    I found out that being a model is NOT glamorous at all. Yes, it is fun for a while, but then the "shine" starts to wear off. IMHO, modeling was not a "healthy" life, it was healthy to my bank account, but NOT my body or MIND!! You are so right that the costume changes are exhausting, the travel, and a LOT of the people in the INDUSTRY!! My life was taken oven completely, how much I exercised, how much I ate, what I wore, even off the set. I was a teenager, so I guess they thought I "needed" someone to tell me when to breathe, but one day I said ENOUGH, and walked off. After a lot of "drama," I was free!! I did do some local modeling, and like that because I had control. Modeling is FUN ONLY if YOU maintain full control of your life!!!!

You show such positivity and have openly shared your journey. I appreciate all you do in the beauty industry and on your channel. And, yes, I am tired of people in the public eye saying they are doing nothing but skincare (topical serums, moisturizers, and facials). While we know their definition of skincare also includes trips to cosmetic dermatologists and spending thousands of dollars on non-invasive procedures. It's not my concern what anyone chooses to do, but if you speak publicly about your beauty routine, tell the truth. It's fine. I think what bothers people is the misrepresentation. Thank you, Nikol.

    • I’ve no respect for Martha for a variety of reasons and choose to not support her with my money. I’m not surprised she wasn’t forthright.

    Nikol I will be 71 next month and I really love being older now. I do my bet to put makeup on when I go out and also try to dress nicely. It is not every day that I feel ok about myself aging. I often wonder who that person is looking back at me in the mirror.
    Thank you for all your tips and tricks and for being yourself. You are really a beautiful woman embracing your age. It is important to be honest. We don’t need to lie about any procedures . Get carried away though.

    When I turned 70, I'm now 76, I've taken a selfie every year on my b-day and shamelessly promoted myself on FB to all 'friends'. The 1st time I did it I thought 'wow'....not a wrinkle, not blemish, nothing. So of course everyone responds back 'you're so beautiful!, Kathy. Then it dawned on me....my cheapo $35 pm cell has filters!! I don't know anything about photography or cell phones. I made the mention on FB that I wonder if that fantasy world would all come to a screeching halt when I turn 80, that you could push filters only so far? LOL. Love your channel, Nicole and have bought a few of your products. Thanks much for sharing....everything!

    I recently discovered your channel. I am 75 and have just about given up on makeup, etc. You have shown me I can still look good and don't have to look like a "little old lady". Thank you Nikol.

    I decided at age 60 to leave it all alone and stop worrying or caring about what others think or say. I let my hair go white, which suits me, saves me time and money. I take care of my skin both in and out and accept myself as I am. As far as I’m concerned I’ll do me and you do you. That was 10 years ago and I’m happy with me.

    I watch your channel for all the beautiful makeup tutorials, though I use very little to none. I so love your fashion style. As for Martha whoever, is not my business, nor do I care! I have scars too. Two hip replacements. 55 brings all new things even body parts.😂

    I started my day with this and I feel inspired. I start radiation this afternoon for breast cancer ... 11 days after turning 73. Inspired and coached by my daughter I'm taking very good care of my skin now. And I found you! I'm following your makeup lessons and i think im looking like a mature woman who has her you-know-what together. I'll step out the door today feeling positive and yes, healthy! Thanks for the boost girlfriend!

    Wow. You put yourself out there in hopes of encouraging women to love who they are at any age and then some woman feels the need to dump all over that. Nicole you’re doing a great service to us older ladies and I’m glad you don’t take any of the garbage to heart. The majority of us love you and enjoy following you. I’ve learned a lot from you over the years. You just keep doing YOU my dear! ❤❤❤

    Endometriosis surgery was the single best thing that ever happened for my health! And I only got it because I had a large, fast-growing tumor (that tumor turned out to be benign, but they couldn't tell that without removing it. Then while they were in there, my surgeon painstakingly removed all the endo explants). It's shocking how little treatment millions of women get for this life-altering disease of endometriosis. I suspect that the chronic inflammation leads to other health issues on top of the pain, debility, and loss of function, too.

      I was a drug rep for many years with a med for endometriosis. Learning than it took many years to get a diagnosis and being called crazy searching for relief is what kept me going . Compassion for OBGYN surgeons to remove all the endometriosis they could see and really listen to the patient is what kept me pushing for insurance coverage etc. It is better these days, but not sure how much better. Keep advocating for yourself or find a helper.

      I hear this a lot, that they just SUFFER with this agonizing excruciating s***. I had it in 1978. 22ys old and married. It developed suddenly, had never experienced such pain! Went to a GYN that happened to be Chinese. He immediately knew exactly what to do; a simple, basic everyday D&C in my uterus and it TOTALLY Cured it, no mess. no fuss. I went on to have 3 perfect pregnancies, deliveries and babies, who grew up to be AWESOME people!

    You’re demonstrating why so many of us have so much respect and admiration for you! Your flat-out honesty is refreshing.
    I’ve followed Martha Stewart since she first burst on the scene and from day one I had misgivings about her truthfulness and claims of creating new things when they were simply re-do’s of old. But I enjoyed what she presented and expanded my own entertaining skills whether or not they were her ideas or someone else’s that she lifted. I simply enjoyed her versions.
    As for cosmetic surgeries, I never believed her claims (or many other famous women for that matter) that she’d never had any surgeries. I couldn’t afford those avenues and that was perfectly fine. Primarily because of my biological heritage I happen to have nice skin and don’t look anywhere near my age (79 in July!). I’m grateful for that and just blessed that I’ve lived this long!
    Stay true to yourself, Nikol! You’re a generous, honest, and sweet woman. Celebrate YOU!!! 🥰

    It is part of the Martha brand….mystique! Why is she so perfect? She never cleans her toilets, or chops the onions, or stops her life for family! She IS Martha. Love her/Hate her she doesn’t care…. Nor do I!
    You are authentically Nikol so shiny your light and we who love your beauty ( inside and out!)❤ we will follow!

    As a young woman I looked up to Martha Stewart as a role model. I believed if she could do all this on her own (gardening , cooking, decorating raising a child etc) so could I. The truth is she had a full staff of advisers and employees. After wearing myself out and spending a fortune on her products I realized I was duped or plain naive, a reality check was needed. Although I still admire and follow her, I don’t buy into anything she says she does or doesn’t do to herself. She’s still great at 82. Keep doing you Nikol, you’re one of a kind.

    I feel so badly about the nasty comments you received. I loved the bathing suit pics. You look fabulous and have helped me so much with your videos. I just turned 65 and had stopped wearing makeup because I felt like it just wasn't worth the trouble. Your channel has helped me tremendously in getting back to my makeup routine using new products, many of them yours, and have fun and really enjoy my new self. Your channel has been such a blessing. You'll never get hateful comments from me. You don't deserve them. Thanks so much for all that you do. ❤

    Hi,
    This is my first post. I have purchased your BB cream, concealer, eye primer and lip gloss. I love your products. Your mission is complete with me. You have inspired me. I’m not a person who spends oodles of time applying make up but now I’m older I’m more focused on embracing my age and be the best possible me! Thank you for all you do. Stay positive in all you do. Don’t let the ugliness bring you down. There are a lot of us that value your candor. I know I do. 😊

    I just found your channel today and subscribed because of this video. I'm turning 60 years old this year and feel what you said in this video, resonates with me. I don't care if people get work done or not..but don't lie about it. I've stopped following celebrities and I am embracing my aging.. How refreshing to see honesty and sincerity in a make-up video. I'm glad I subscribed.❤

    It’s always just a matter of time until these people come undone. I can’t understand why they choose to do it…and it’s so disappointing.
    I personally come to you Nicol for information on products and techniques and to learn from the lovely person you are. I find myself always smiling after watching you. Keep doing what you’re doing!!!!!
    So saddened to hear about that remark from Australia… it’s certainly not our way 🌸🇦🇺

    Nikol, I deleted my Facebook account in 2016 with the political hatred that was a daily occurrence. I managed several very active groups that had nothing to do with politics, one a local small town group of over 1,000 and the other for antiques and community collectibles. I felt like I was babysitting crude and rude adults. So I happily left the drama behind and my social media is limited to Instagram and Pinterest only; makeup, hair, fashion, music, recipes and dogs! Kudos to you for surviving as you've done, with grace and assertiveness. We do need to take a stand against the trolls but at what expense? Take care of you.

    Hello Nikol! So, in my line of work - analyzing words and body language for truth or deception - she used "squishy language" when she said, "I really sort of practice what I preach." That right there tells me she doesn't. She can't 'sort of' practice what she preaches; she either does or doesn't. Just reading that one line tells you there is more to the story. I am surprised the editor allowed that quote. Always pay attention to the words people say - the hidden truth is in them. Love your videos and your lipsticks!!
