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.

Rich ladies get the procedures Martha Stewart got. The rest of us do the best we can. I am grateful not to have cancer, high blood pressure, or debilitating arthritis. Much to rejoice in and be thankful for.
Same here.
So very well said! Thank you. 👍❤️
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.😊
I'm 37 and have debilitating arthritis in my spine. However, people think I'm still in my 20s, so I've got something to be thankful for hehe x
@@BethVonBlack Raw milk cured my Mother's arthritis.
I stopped following celebrities ages ago. I am following you because of your sincerity, honesty, and just being who you are. Don't change! Thank you for inspiring a young 69 going on 70!
Amen!
❤❤❤Amen!❤️❤️❤️
Celebrities have the means to do whatever they wish and I don’t care 🤷♀️ what they share or do! Not reality for general population! Rather follow you! Even the women on The Golden Bachelor shared what they did! Aging is a privilege! You do you! I will try to hone me! Wtf is “fraxel?!” 😂❤
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!!!
I agree with your comment , I like her honestly and how open she is about her life and real ❤
I am 77 years old, Nikol, and I watch you because you are REAL. Don't ever change. You are a breath of fresh air. And you are a beauty!
Thank you
I am an African American woman that does not wear makeup and I watch your channel because of your beauty and honesty. When I want a happy pick up and to see someone stylish I look for you. Please remain your positive, beautiful self. Thank you and yes I get why you feel lied to. ❤️🙏
Wow, thank you
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.
She's had more than one facelift. Probably three. At least. All you have to do is analyze her photos from late 40s on.
Martha is too competitive to tell the truth.
I agree with you, thanks ❤
@@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.
The positivity of your channel is one of the things I love about you.
For the average person we can’t afford all the medical or the fillers etc.
I love your routine that you do before you put your make up on. Some of the products may be a little expensive but I know they’re worth it. Thanks for making aging comfortable.
Thank you ❤
@nickij3826 . Yes , so agree with you. The value of being worth it vs.price. I've been keeping list of things I want to try and many I've gotten been very good. The wet and wild concealer now a favorite .
Perfectly said! One of my favorite channels to follow. 💓
So many people advertise for weight loss products and then you find out they had weight loss surgery to actually lose most of the weight. It’s a Bait and Switch type of advertising…absolutely we are being lied to! Thank you, Nikol, for being genuine! ❤️
And so many celebs and influencers not talking about taking Ozempic and the like. They claim it's all diet and exercise!
The lovely thing about being senior is I just don’t care what people think about me. Focusing on inner peace. Luv your vids.
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...
Green Envy is not a good color for any of us🙂
She went to jail for something our politicians do every day. Instead of acting defeated, she used her time in prison to lift up other women.
You are refreshing. I enjoy listening to you and trying some of your suggestions. Keep up what you are doing. By the way, I am 77 years old.
She went to prison for the exact same thing 99% of Washington politicians do. You don’t go from minimum wage, no savings to a 29 million dollar bank account in 4 to 8 years by being honest. Martha must have angered someone!🙂😬
Amen to that.
Unfortunately, we do live in SUCH a narcissistic and toxic world! So many OPINIONS!
Call me old fashioned with manners, but If we can't say something good about someone - say nothing at ALL!
Nikol keep taking the high road!👏
You are genuine, honest and transparent!
I saw this video yesterday and knew I had to sleep on it. (You make me think about how I see myself). 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.
I agree. Who cares abt the w8. Most women r NOT tiny. U go girl!
Thank you for getting into the issue of Martha Stewart! Martha is a "brand" and the public will not ever know the real Martha. That is how marketing works. But, you are a real, living breathing person who puts yourself out there physically, emotionally and mentally telling and showing us who you are! You truly care about us and want to be a positive influence in our lives. That is REAL beauty inside and out. Thank you for inspiring and standing up for real women who desire encouragement.
Never was a Martha fan and I guess truth be told , we have been shown the real Martha.. I m a babyboomer and figure I earned this ...Keep it up NIkol!
Great comment.
Agree 100% 💯
Just to be sure, you are turning 60, right? The 7th decade is our 60s.
@@dammar117who are you addressing?
Nicole I am a 73 young woman I love listening to you talk its like sitting with my girlfriends. Never stop being you your beautiful
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
0:00 "I have some oceanfront property in Arizona I would like to sell you"
:)
@@lesliebales4264 ❤💯 everything!
72 here and I feel the same way. I also went hair color free with inspo from Nikol!!
Bravo to you, tell it like it is. I trust you and love your videos ❤
So refreshing to see an influencer without filters. ❤
I agree with you 100%! I am 71 years old and what she said was a lie and wrong! Lying by omission is still lying!! That is why I trust very few! The point is she doesn't have to tell people what she has done. BUT with that being said she also has a responsibility to not lie!! Love your channel and you. You are absolutely beautiful!!
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.
Agreed . It steals our money based on lies and insecurities. That's why Nikol is so amazing and transparent. We're old enough now to know when BS is floating around. 😊
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.
Nikol…..thank you for being you. Your positive, upbeat and sooooo inspiring. Thank you for encouraging others to be the same. I feel exactly like you about what is a happening in our world nowadays……it makes me sad. I always try to lift others up when they are around me.
Exactly! I don't care whether anyone has had procedures, but I do care when they're out hawking a skincare line as the sole reason they look much younger than chronological age.
Truth in advertising has gone the way of black/white TV sets. Companies get by with lying by putting a disclaimer up. 😡
Hi Nikol, I don’t understand why women lie and say they haven’t had anything done when they have! If you don’t want to tell people then don’t say anything at all. Please just stay as you are it’s so refreshing to see you looking so good and it makes me feel better about aging , especially knowing we all have issues to deal with. love from England 🏴 x
Every one to lie if want especially about there age
I hate the negativity we live with. I am 75, found you, and love your positivity…and use your products. I try to be a positive role model also. I am ‘me’!
I am transparent- I use everything to slow my aging process. I obviously can’t stop it! I use some Botox and fillers and good products, like yours, on my face. No surgery- that is not ‘me’. I have had to have major surgeries in my life- I definitely wouldn’t volunteer to get one that wasn’t really needed!
I appreciate your honesty and share your philosophies! Keep them coming!!!😃👌❤️
Always speak the truth! ❤ so refreshing!
I'm 69 and have been following you because of your positivity. It is so refreshing. Keep up the good work.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for addressing this subject Nikol, you can tell Martha, Cindy Crawford, Robin McCraw and many others who tote natural aging and their skin care lines are so full of botox and fillers that I no longer trust anything they say, thank you for being so honest and allowing the rest of us to trust your reviews!
I appreciate as a 69 year old woman that I can wear makeup and clothes and have more confidence. You are very inspiring.
Exactly the same for me. At 62 I feel I have a whole new phase of myself.
Exactly for me. I will be 70 in July. I have disorders and diseases, but nothing fatal.
Thank you, Nikol, for your positive, inspiring social media‼️🌹
❤I turned 68 today and I’m so thankful for you, Nikol, and all the fabulous women on your channel! 💕
Kathy, Your Hilarious comment about having “disorders and diseases but nothing Fatal” MADE my day and made me laugh out loud!! It’s SO exactly the way we need to look at life and ACCEPT ourselves exactly as we are!! ❤️🌹
I thank you for all your inspiring advice. I think you’re amazing. Don’t let the judgmental people discourage you. I love all your tips and complete honestly.
I am with you. Social media is getting so out of hand.
There is nothing social about social media 😮
It has been out of hand for years!
@@carole.ronning9318 Actually yes! 🙂
Nikol, I stand tall and proud at 59. Nothing is more beautiful than a confident woman. Wrinkles, scars, brown spots and everything else that got me here. Love you and your opinion. Keep leading the way girl!❤
Imagine the haters, they post negative stuff, repost negative stuff and the algorithm just gives them more of it. Just keep it positive. Literally, you will manifest more positivity through the algorithm!
At 75, I am better than I was a decade ago. A better person, have better skin and am so much more positive. Why do people have to be so negative about everything? 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. Love you and your channel, keep up the good work. You are beautiful and amazing.
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!! 🥰💜💜
i LOVED THIS SESSION!!
Very important message today. I was doing really well and then got sick… at 70 I looked 60, by 72 after multiple procedures and surgeries I look 82. 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. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for being KIND
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! 😘❤
I hate others make nasty comments. They must miss the intent behind what you're doing for us. I appreciate what you give to us and trying to help us. Thank you for being positive and helping us age gracefully.
❤Thank you Nikol!!! Yes, sometimes I feel invisible as I turn 60. What hurts is other women being catty, especially my sister. 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!!!❤
Let me guess--your sister is younger than you.
Great message! I agree...we are our harshest critics.
When people are just jealous they say mean things. Im sorry your sister is jealous, keep being happy ❤
I embrace invisibility. People are mean, hypocritical, and full of bad faith. Saying this after being fired for the the third time in 14 years.
Hi. Please don't allow ur sister or anyone else to be catty or disrespectful towards u. 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!
We are here because we relate to you because you relate to us. Those who lie and hate are lacking something within themselves. Keep doing you-that is why we are here!
I am so saddened by this trend of being toxic and unkind to others. Thank you for being kind, helpful and always positive.
I thought from the beginning she lied to us. Look back at some of her pictures, and you can clearly see that she has had some work done. Her eyes are lifted, just to mention one thing. I get really tired of the entire industry telling us lies.
Agree! It's not acceptable in our society for women to age. Sad.
In so many ways. Even her new dirt commercial for some soil. First thing I thought was she had work done. She's paired with a young man who's on his knees planting . But other lies...For example people ( movie stars etc) having babies at 45 etc. Really must likely invitro etc.
Women are fleecing women all over social media. What's going on in the over-50 space is appalling.
Agreed
Not telling is not lying. Get a dictionary
As a Mature Woman I prefer honesty. I appreciate that You won't give in to the hate remarks. You are classy and beautiful.
Nicole please don't be discouraged about what other IG women have to say. Your a beautiful woman, inside and out, and you have so much to offer your subscribers. I'm 67 years young, and since I started following you here on YT, you have completely influenced my skin care and makeup routine for the better! I now love getting ready in the morning as I watch your videos, as you come across like a best friend. You're confident, authentic, sincere, caring, down to earth and so approachable. I appreciate having a such a positive and powerful role model in my life! Oh and Martha? I'm afraid that I stopped admiring her many years ago when I realized that the "perfect life" she promotes, she doesn't actually live. I felt lied to as well. Keep these wonderful tutorials coming! Much love!
I think there is entirely too much time wasted on social media, where people work to be as negative and hateful as possible. What a shame. If more time was spent to be productive, kind and helpful, what a wonderful world we would live in. Thank you Nikol for your positivity and beauty, inside and out. I have learned so much on this channel. You have given this 63 year old a new energy to enhance what I have.
I think most of us here grew up hearing “if you can’t say something nice . . .” I don’t understand why anyone would follow someone on social media if they’re only going to have negative reactions. I , personally, have better things to do with my time. Keep doing what you do.
She is probably coming out with a skincare line with QVC.
I know right? Just don’t watch. So easy. But so many like to be negative and nasty without getting punched in the face.
Nikol - haters are gonna hate. Says WAY more about them than you. I find you amazingly inspiring, despite the fact I am in a completely different socio-economic class (Midwestern 67 year ild retiree here 😊) Has always seemed to me that there’s a seat for EVERYONE at your table … you have a heart for ALL women! I think that comes through loud and clear ❤. So don’t change a thing, love. You’re helping a lot of women from all walks of life!!
Suck up much???
You are absolutely right about Martha. Have whatever work you want done, but don't tell us you only use expensive creams. Love your videos, keep being your delightful self. ❤ A 78 yr old fan
You are on point regarding Martha hedging the facts. It is all about money. Making money. Lots of money. Thank you for pointing this out. The truth is we can all use help, but most can't afford it. Your approach is refreshing. Thank you.
That kind of negative “entertainment” is what we have to get away from as a nation.
Our culture is youth based. I always thought Martha had work done. To me, she copped out on us, I'm 66, by saying she only used skin care. I truly do only use skin care, and I have graceful aging. Please keep being authentic. It inspires me. ❤❤
It's another example of the old saying,"If It Seems True Good To Be True,It's Not!"
I appreciate honesty more than anything.If someone can't be honest, just don't say anything.
Thank you,Nicole.I love your videos.
Haters are going to hate. I thank God I am confident enough in myself that when I see a woman who has it together, I can complement her. Keep up the good work and as you say, you do you. Thank you for showing me and others how we can kick it up a notch at any age. ❤
I use to love her. When you are presenting yourself as one thing in public that influences people but it’s not true, you are lying. You inspire me, you don’t represent me in anyway as I’m 73, poor and overweight, because you encourage ladies to look their best at any age. You don’t belittle anyone nor act like you are better than we are. You are open about your issues and how you look with out makeup. I’ve learned a lot from you. 😊❤
I’ll, no matter how you look at it, we’ve been lied to. It really, as a 76 year old, turns me off MS.woman of age just need to be real,and you are real. I love following you and would love to find your products here in Canada. Keep being you😊♥️
I do agree no used be trying to look young and then want to accept your age you tlak rubbish
I have silver and white hair...menopause belly...hyper pigmentation in some facial areas and of course, daily facial chin hair....and I have been greatly inspired by all of your videos. BUT, I do not follow celebs for their drama. I am 61 and am adjusting to the new me. I started working on reducing stress, losing this sudden weight gain and eating less sugar. I LOVE how you showcase your beautiful hair, fashion, style and makeup. I also love how you are not afraid to show yourself un-madeup❤
As a 59 year ago, in rural Montana, I love your honesty. I'm thankful I've discovered you; your beauty information and fashion inspiration. Please continue to be the real you and don't succumb to social pressure. You are the friend we all need❤
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!!!!
Nikol, please stay your honest self. We love you. I’m 70 and you inspire me. You look fantastic and we all appreciate you!
I appreciate your policy of keeping the chatter positive. No matter how old or young we are an upbeat mindset is healthier for all of us. And, for me, honesty is much more beautiful than deceit!
I appreciate your authenticity and honesty. I try to shed as much negativity in my life as possible. At 71, I feel I deserve to take care of myself FIRST. I feel people promote negativity to get MORE followers on their platforms. Unfortunately being POSITIVE is boring. Let's just honor ourselves and each other. No one has ever taught us how to age better and gracefully better than YOU. My surgery scars are my tattoos of a cancer survivor and I wear them shamelessly. Living well in North Carolina, Joanna
I'm an 86-yr old watching you and using your trips and some of your products. Keep it up, Nikol, you are doing a GREAT job!
I agree with you. It doesn’t matter if people use things other than lotions and potions to keep themselves looking good, but just be honest about it. It’s disappointing to learn that what people say they are doing and what they are really doing is different. You are so inspirational, thank you for all you do.
Does she really think we are that stupid and we can’t tell she had a facelift. There is no shame in it just be honest. She looks great
I am a 75 year old woman and think you are beautiful as you are! I subscribe to you because you are a real person without pretentions. Keep up the positive attitude! 🩷
You are a honest straightforward beauty and inspiration. I am a 70 year old black woman.... people who write negative and hateful comments just have empty hearts and lives. Pray for them and keep being yourself!
I think people who attack others on social media must be miserable. If I don't like something I just keep scrolling I watch the content I enjoy and if that day it doesn't connect I come back the next day like no big deal. I don't dump the site I love because I don't agree with something. I love this channel and at 65 I need all the encouragement I can get. So just keep doing what you do Nikol you are amazing.
I appreciate your positivity and honesty. It breaks my heart that so many people feed off of negativity and you are a bright light that is so needed. Thank you
L♥️ve from Memphis! Right, Nikol, let's build up the world, not tear it down.
Sweet we need to get this trending the LOVE from every state and city!
First off, I absolutely love your channel. I love how real and honest you are. How classy you approach life and aging gracefully. It hurts my heart to see people who prefer to thrive on hate instead of love. We live in a world that is woe is me and "oh your doing well let me bring you down to my level" mentality. And that's a shame because life is to be joyful but instead we are doing the opposite. As far as Martha. Yes she should be honest because that is giving women false hope in aging. You are beautiful inside and out. Don't stop showing the world a different way. 1 person can make a world of difference.
You Nikol, should pay absolutely no mind to the chatter. All squirrels do it.
In my world( old time male boy man) you are a diamond. Any woman should take heed and listen. I enjoy seeing you have fun looking fabulous.
You just be you and the world will love you. With or without makeup.
Thank you for being❤
You’re too much ❣️I get the biggest kick out of how you deal with negative “stuff”… I am so happy that you have become such a positive influence in this crazy world of “beauty”…helping women stay focused on the down to earth concepts with wit & humor. Although I’ve known you your entire life, you never cease to amaze me… I love you so much.
Aunt Nancy
❤!!!😁
I am 100% with you on this Nicole! I think we all should just 'do you', be authentic...
Do what makes you feel better about yourself...but if you are going to post, be interviewed, etc., just be honest or say nothing at all. I just don't get why people have to be nasty and give negative comments on social media . As my mother told me, eons ago, " if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all!" Still holds true today. Thanks for your openness and honesty...refreshing ❣️🥰
Although I can't afford all the beautiful products you show and use, I love watching and listening to you. You have such grace and style and are truly inspirational! ☘🌻🍂
People who are hurting hurt others, those who hate themselves and lack self-love spew hurt and hate not only on media but in everyday life. Please please continue to be true to your authentic self, we need you in this negative world. You uplift us and you’re gorgeous too. 😊
Nichols I have been following you for a few months now and I have to tell you , you really inspire me. I am 80 years old and I’m going back to wearing makeup. I saw quite a few videos on mature makeup and yours is the best. It is getting easier and easier following your instructions and I got quite a lot of compliments.
Thank you. By the way I love your hair 😊
Please never stop doing you! I love watching your videos. I am 68 years old and love to learn new things. And then try them on myself. ❤❤❤❤
Nikol your right on point Women of any age need to become HONEST with there self they lose credibility i am 80🥰 keep being strong and honest with us you are making a difference 🥰🙏🏼💕👏
Bravo Nikol!! You are actually the breathe of fresh air in this madness….you are real, unapologetic and that counts for me in todays world of counterfeit everything. Keep on keeping on for those of us that appreciate you!
No, you are right on. These ladies should be honest and keep it real. It is okay if they choose to do all those things, but they shouldn't act like they have stayed young looking with just healthy eating and skin care. They shouldn't lie about it. I say embrace any choice you make, but just don't sell a false narrative.
Nikol! You're amazing. You practice what you preach, you work so hard to live a long healthy life, you try to uplift other women, you are YOURSELF, you're a wonderful dog mom, and you somehow still find time to run your business all while looking and feeling your best. Thank you so much for being here and sharing your wisdom with us! I have learned SO MUCH!
As far as the debate over your photo, my grandmother used to say, "Sweetheart, not even Jesus could make everyone happy. Why kill yourself over it?" . My grandmother has passed since but her words have impacted me greatly. YOU DO YOU. Hold your head up high and continue being the FIERCE and graceful woman that you are. Our scars tell our story. I'm proud of all of mine. They have made me who I am. Hope you have a lovely day!
I just turned 76 and don't like it one bit! LOL I binge your channel. I really sometimes feel like you're talking to me personally and have learned so much from you. I do have fun with makeup. I cracked myself up the other day while getting ready to go out. I looked at myself and said 'let's get this beauty started.' You are so down to earth and are so amazingly beautiful. I'm a fangirl!
Keep being your awesome, beautiful, positive self Nikol!
It's call envy, Nicol. You know you are so beautiful and a real educated and poised woman, that many people just can't feel happy for you because they hate, insted of being inspired and grow... Continue doing you, because smart women are here too. And we love your e energy and glow 💖
Hi Nikol,
The rude comments are from unhappy people. I named it “ The Girl Wars “ for my daughters who were recipients. Think it started in 4th- 5th grade and for some it continues their entire life. As women we need to support and encourage one another
I remember as a new nurse years ago the saying, “ Nurses eat their young” it is very true and sad.
Just ignore the haters and continue being you. You bring so much joy and enlightenment to so many!❤
I have been appalled by the negative comments I read on UA-cam, Facebook, and Instagram. People hide behind their anonymity and spew nasty remarks about people they don't know. 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 have so many thoughts, but will stick to a few:
• Thank you, as always, for your content. You’ve helped make my 70s my best decade…so far!
• 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.
• The ‘joy’ of ‘hate’ is a reflection of ‘modern’ life that is reminiscent of past hedonistic and cruel societies. It did not end well for them. We who don’t engage are healthier and happier.
• Onward!
Interesting...❤❤❤ This is why I follow you and not Ms. Stewart. Everyone's entitled to their privacy, but honestly, I could see she's enjoying the benefits of treatments plus skincare and good diet. You're right...she should either divulge honestly or not at all. Again...I follow you for YOU and your ethics, and mindset and approachability. Plus I love your products.
I’m 32 and watch you,
I just noticed a few greys shining in the light and felt proud. Why? Because of women like you who de stigmatize aging!
Thank you for your content and being a great role model for women ❤
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.
Thank you for being you !❤️
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.
You are so welcome!
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.😂
Your channel is like having a personal makeup artist and stylist. Don’t ever stop what you’re doing. Your advice and recommendations are so indispensable. 👊🏻💥🔥❤️
Thank you so much!!
What she said….thanks, Nicole.
You truly are an incredible woman. You do not entertain negativity, you do not push controversial agendas, and most of all you have HEART and COMPASSION, and I am thankful for that.
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.
Have you watched the Martha Stewart documentary? It’s very interesting.
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!!
I am 77 years old and love your tutorials. I have learned a lot and am not afraid to experiment. I wear makeup at home, just to give myself a lift. Many thanks for sharing with us ❣️
