I appreciate that you are providing such useful information on "drugstore brands". I think there are many "mature" women like me who, even if we can afford it, don't care to pay exorbitant prices for makeup. Thank you!
I’m so glad I discovered you. I think it would be incredibly helpful to go over tools. I didn’t start really messing with makeup until I was 40 and clearly remember how overwhelming it was with all the tools
You are the one to watch. So real, so honest, so contemporary for us 50 plus women and your setup and equipment are really showing the true (and very pretty) version of you and your skin. So happy to see your numbers/followers are going up so fast. You really deserve it 💚
Thank you so much for helping out the “over 50” crowd! The most noticeable adjustment I’ve been slogging through is changing the tone of my makeup to go with the natural lightening of my hair. Going from darkest brown hair and brows to graying hair with a silver streak front and center has changed the intensity of color I use on my lids and lips. Thanks for showing affordable options while in my experimental phase
Just want to say thanks for doing drugstore products! I want to look my best but refuse to pay department store prices! Appreciate your channel and love your tutorials. Can’t wait to go to Target
You're precious teaching us how not only to look beautiful but how to navigate the 'see more' on UA-cam. Btw I just found your channel as I am coming out of retirement again to work as the hostess of a popular restaurant. I appreciate your guidance very very much. (And p s. I stopped at your face as I scrolled because you so favor a young Jessica Walter!) GOD bless you!!😘
The green eyeshadow contrasts beautifully with your brown eyes. Occasionally I'll buy high end but for the most part I get my makeup at the drugstore so I appreciate this video.
I'll be 52 next month and I need help! I am so happy to have found your channel. Thank you for all this wonderful information and honest approach! It's so helpful!
I love that you said its ok for us over 50's to wear a little shimmer on the eyes. I agree I think it makes the lid space look bigger. All I have ever heard before said older women should not wear any shimmer.
😂😂😂 I was cracking myself up while editing....though a lot of people asked why I had a bird on screen. First time bird sitting, I never knew they were so attuned to what was going on in home!!
Hi Lisa! This is very helpful! Especially for beginners. I am 50 and love using drugstore makeup too. There are many drugstore products that are dupes to high end makeup. TFS!
I appreciate the “beginners makeup kit” videos, not because I’m a beginner- but because whenever we travel I always seem to forget something. It’s nice to have he “here’s what to buy” in a convenient list. We traveled for a wedding to rural Ohio and forgot to pack mascara. There are limited mascara option at the Piggly Wiggly!! 🤦♀️
Have you tried the Boom Stick by Cindy Joesph? I have been wondering about it. Also do you know the best way to conceal marionette lines around the mouth?
I'm so glad you included L.A. Girl eyeliners & lipliners, both wonderfully long-wearing products. I stock up when Ulta has the BOGO sale. I totally agree on the shimmer eyeshadow. I'm 51 & it makes my eyes POP. Matte just makes them look "meh". If you're ever in the market to try a new, inexpensive stick foundation, the one from Makeup Revolution ($9 Ulta) is the best I've ever found. Not much of a shade range but the formula is awesome if you just want a quick cover. Thanks for another great video!
So happy to see some drugstore products, I tried watching your channel a while ago but so many of the products were high end I ended leaving, so glad to be back.
Yes, when I started my channel is was going to be a luxury beauty channel but I now have a mix, more drugstore and Sephora/Ulta brands over the truly luxury brands. Glad you are back!
Like so many that have commented, I'm thrilled to have found your videos! I'm a young 67 with mature, normal-dry skin, and am learning to be more pro-aging by embracing my grey hair and body changes. I really appreciated your comment about medium coverage for everyday wear. I am trying to find that balance of looking good but still "natural" in the light of day. One question, do you use or have a favorite primer for eyes?
I’ve used the Mabelline Brow Defining pencil for years. I have almost no brows at all from over plucking, and this is the only brow pencil that will give me something that doesn’t look too drawn in, and unnatural. Thanks for all the tips, and glad I found your UA-cam channel ! 😌😌
Great video, Lisa. I am over 60 and I love a bit of shimmer on my eyelid. I agree that I think it enhances my eyes and I don't care what "experts" say!! And, I love glosses on my lips as well, as my lips are narrow.
Might I suggest you try that essence green shade across your entire lid with a brown based transition shade in the crease and above the crease? With your brown eyes it would look stunning! I do it occasionally myself with a similar green shade and it’s perfect for autumn 😃
I just found your videos. You are informative with out talking endlessly. Sometimes I don't watch UA-cam videos till the end because they are just so long.
Decided to try make up again after watching two of your videos about Makeup Mistakes Women Over 50 Make and Makeup Starter Kit. I appreciate the review of the products that I can get less expensively and give this a try. For $75 I have a nice starter kit of makeup. I didn't select a contouring palette yet, and the Rephr Eyelash Curler wasn't available on the site on which I ordered everything but I was able to select everything else. Now I'm going to go clean out makeup in my bathroom that I haven't touched since Covid! Thanks for the inspiration!!
I have quite a few of these items in my makeup bag. I need to try the LA Girl eyeliner and lip liner- I bought their regular pencils and didn't care for them but I need to try the auto versions. I love the No7 powder...it's so good! I also need to try the Milani gloss and the Maybelline Lifter gloss. Thanks for the video - looking forward to the tools video!
I just found you and I'm loving your videos!! I am always cautious about makeup and applying it because I was never taught "properly" how to apply (I know it's all subjective, but still, I don't want to look like a clown). I am writing down all your recommendations and definitely plan to try some out. Thank you!!!
@Auntie M. I am the same! I’m 58 but I’m afraid to look bad. Whenever I try make up, especially drug store brands I never seem to get the right colors. I’m not against drug store brands I just haven’t had good luck. But these videos help me to have courage
Good morning Lisa. I really enjoyed this video. I wear shimmer and yes, metallic on my 58 yo dark brown eyes. It's beautiful on me. I wish I had your medium skin tone..
I just found your channel. I love your videos.I’ve been bing watching them a bit for two days. The first one I watched was about the makeup mistake we make over 50 and I did my make while watching it. I learned a lot and the results were great. My boyfriends yes widened in surprise and he gave me a beautiful complement. I’m turning 50 this year and figured it’s never too early…Thank you. Hugs-Tera
Thank you! I do like it too, though haven't been wearing it enough. You've motivated me to wear something that coordinates with green today so I can wear it again! 💕💕💕
Thanks Lari, I do love them both!!! It’s easier and cheaper to shop drugstore, but I normally find more shades that go with my darker skin at Sephora💕💕💕
@@LisaMonique I do both myself and I have a similar skin tone to yours, so it's so refreshing to see!! Thanks for your videos, I'm learning a lot! My daughter asked me why I'm checking over 50 Beauty UA-camrs and I was like, "I've never been this age, so I gotta learn how to do things different now, my skin has changed and so must I!"
The day I happened across your channel Lisa (late, last week), I was so delighted !! The discovery of you was almost like a that of a treasure… and I say that having now watched a few of your videos. You come across as a zephyr, and it’s quite a refreshing 🌬 🌱 change from “the usual suspects”, so to speak. Then there’s that all important niche you’ve managed the snag. You may be targeting the over 50s, but I’m sure there are a few of us not far from 50, who feel like we’re going through a “puberty in reverse”, trying to avoid the mutton-dressed-as-lamb trap 🙄🙄. So thank you for your candid and relaxed videos. Wishing for you success on a spectacular scale 💫
Lisa Monique, thank you so much for these recommendations! It’s nice to have affordable options, and a guide to purchase a nice makeup kit. I enjoyed this video and plan to view more of your channel.
Thank you for watching!!! I try and do a good mix of affordable, mid price and luxury brands (less luxury because it's too expensive to buy just to make a video 🤣)
@@LisaMonique You’re welcome Lisa, I just subscribed to your channel! I love make up, but after a few years of mask wearing, I feel like I’ve kind of lost my way. I love how your application leans towards a more natural look. There are so many really young beauty creators here who apply layer after layer of cosmetics… I cannot, lol. Happy to have found you and glad you’ve made a space that caters to us older girls : )
I can't tell the difference in drugstore vs the high end look! Do you feel the difference at all? I'm perplexed by your love of L'Oreal Voluminous regular mascara. It clumps terribly for me. Do you apply it straight away or pump the tube? I love the L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly mascara. The brush makes all the difference. Must be my application techniques. Love that palette! I agree with the No 7 powder. I use their bronzer on my light skin with a kabuki. Lovely, smooth touch of sun. Looks better than the more pricey one I have. Thank you so much for this. Can't wait for the tools video.
Isn’t that funny about the Voluminous!! What one person loves doesn’t work for the next. I do love my luxury brands, I find some individual drugstore products that work as well or better, but the luxury brands seem more pigmented and finely milled as a whole line. And I like I can test before I buy….or have a salesperson sell something to me, I’m a sucker for the sales pitch lol.
Brilliant channel. Can you recommend the essential makeup kit eg brushes etc. Also missed the medium coverage foundation section. Plan to subscribe. Thanks 🥰
It’s hard, especially with some dollar store type brands. Otherwise for drugstore foundation I usually examine the shades at home on a computer and then I can narrow down what shade I’m looking for before I go to the drugstore. A lot of time in the drugstore they don’t have the full range either so that is frustrating as usually it’s the darker shades which I need that are cut off. I’m not sure if you are in the US, but I return foundations if I don’t get the right shade, or rather I will return any make up if I don’t like the shade. Eventually you get an eye for which terrible plastic color swatch actually looks good on you lol. Or even what shades look best through the glass or plastic packaging.
thank you so much, Lisa!! I just found your channel and it's amazing. Thank you for your awesome practical advice. I use everything from luxury brands to drugstore brands. I would love to see a video about luxury brands/drugstore equivalent and what you think is worth spending your money on at Sephora/Ulta or what works well from the drugstore. Clear as mud? Thanks again....immediately subscribed!
I do have a Sephora video coming up and I’m planning a drugstore/luxury foundation dupe video! Just trying to remember what each foundation is like (I own about 65) so I can pair them!
Lisa, Your video content is always excellent and well delivered. I've heard so much about the CT Flawless Filter Powder but so far I've deleted it from my cart before completing my order. Definitely will try the No. 7 powder instead. Enjoy the weekend!
Love my voluminous I have tried so many mascaras and I always come back to this one I'm interested in what colors you would recommend for blue eyes I've always used brown tones of course I could experiment with different colors non-neutral when I was much younger maybe you could do a video on that sometime thank you I love your videos:):)
Your videos are always so helpful, budget or bling, sincere and sweet. I’ve loved your no 7 & Milani suggestions many times 🍂💕🍂❤️🔥🍁!! (And CT too, 100% love 💗).
I love your videos but if you could speak a little more slowly when you talk about the name of the product. I'm over 80 because of years of retina letter A, I'm fortunate to have good skin and I think you should emphasize the use of rotina a. Perhaps you have. May God bless your good work
@@annieskipper5441 I do talk fast, and will try and slow down, but I usually can't even remember what I want to talk about, so thinking of all the rest is hard, lol. Lately I have making sure I put the name of all the products across the screen and they are also always listed in the description box! I have talked about tretinoin (RetinA )in previoius anti-aging videos but I stopped using it about 5 months ago because I'm in the sun too much now that I'm walking every day, and it's not recommended. I may pick it up again this winter as I'll be inside more, but I'm no longer a constant user. But it is the gold standard for anti-aging 💕💕💕💕
I can’t really recommend a wrinkle cream because I look for moisture in my creams, and serums or my Tretinoin for wrinkle reduction. However, I think right now is the most effective at reducing wrinkles so I would look at the Olay retinol Cream if you’re looking at an all in one product.
Greetings from New York 🗽 I just recently came across your channel, and to my surprise, I enjoyed your video. New Yorkers are picky as to who and what they like. 😁 And I do like your presentation and content. And by the way, I have subscribed to your channel. Hopefully, I'll learn how to use makeup properly. Thank you for being genuine and explaining your techniques so precisely. ~Elizabeth NYC ❣🗽
Hi Lisa, I love that Neutrogena foundation, it's very pretty on you. I need to look into the Milani cream blush and lip gloss you showed. I agree, Pixie is very expensive in Canada, it's almost the same price as something you can buy at Sephora. Congrats on your channel growth!! Have a nice weekend. xo
Love NYX and L'Oreal, my fave brands! But I am on a no-buy for now, plenty of makeup around here lol! Tho I might give that new L'Oreal mascara a try when I run out of mascara. You look great Lisa, tysm!! ~~Chanel
I'm 63, and rarely ever wore makeup. I never really needed to. But now I have dark spots on my face and bits under eyes. I maybe beautiful inside, but I'm looking a little drab on the outside. Wish I had someone give me a makeover to show me what to do. I'm buying the wrong primers for my skin. Plus everything goes into my wrinkles and pores. . If I do use stuff on my face , I put everything on lightly. Need more of a pop. Thank you for your videos. I'll keep watching. 🤩
You have the nicest natural nails! Thanks for the tutorial using drugstore brands. I feel luxury products are overhyped and overpriced. I have had some luxury and drugstore duds so it’s really a level playing field.
@@LisaMonique - same. You just have to be careful where you purchase. I bought a $75 Charlotte Tilbury pallet. The formula was nice but colors were too warm and most were also too deep for me. Thankfully I bought from Nordstrom so was easy to return. I replaced with a Catrice pallet at Ulta. Formula was equally nice, better shade range and it was only $15!
Hi Lisa … thanks and quick question..when it comes to how long to keep any products …lipstick, eye, foundation..when not used up right away? 🧐 I’m sure I’ve got a stash that’s way to old.
Disclaimer: This is not official advice, this is just what I personally am doing. I have literally THOUSANDS of dollars of makeup purchased in the last 2 - 2 1/2 years. My rule of thumb for anything wet: has it separated, discolored, changed consistency, oxidized, does it smell? If so, I toss. Then I ask myself "how old is it?" None of my purchases for UA-cam are over 2 1/2 years old, so I'm not tossing unless one of the above happens (which it has on a few products). Some of the makeup I purchased when I did hair and makeup on clients is a few years old but I moved upstairs to my personal stash. For true powder products, I have always finely sprayed with 70% alcohol to sterilize, so I'll keep until it no longer looks good or hardens up or I just don't like. For mascara's and such, I usually replace once they get too thick. If something's really old, like 5-7 years old, I'd toss unless collector item, like some of the luxury limited editions. I don't own any of those and I don't have any makeup that old! Like my favorite Charlotte Tilbury Cream Eyes to Mesmerize shadow is probably 2 1/2 years old and I still use all the time and am not going to toss anytime soon!! When I was younger, I probably had makeup that was 10 years old and still used before they started putting expiration dates on makeup, lol...but use your own discretion. Official position would be to follow expiration date.
@@LisaMonique wow , thanks. I guess your right, most of my stuff is within 2-3 yrs …I don’t have any old foundations.. some eye products I don’t like or use....lots of lipstick don’t like don’t use…old dry blushes…old stuff is gone out with the trash today 👍. I just purchased a number of new items to replace them from Target today 🤦♀️. Thanks again Kath
I love your videos. I now 66yrs and have known I needed to change products, especially the powders to creams. I think I have a lighter skin but that’s me guessing. How do I determine shades etc for m,y skin type if I’m not sure what it is? I’m in Canada and some of the brands you’re mentioning I’ve not seen here. I’ll keep looking for the brands but I’d really appreciate know how to determine my skin type. At least I’ll have a starting point. Thanks so much.
Unfortunately, sometimes it is a little trial and error, but I can tell my cheeks are DRY and they look like all the moisture is sucked out of them if I'm using the wrong foundation or powder. If your Tzone, or nose area gets really shiny or greasy feeling, but you have dry cheeks, you'd be combination and you may need a mattifing primer just no the nose area to absorb oil through out the day. I think most people know if they have oily skin!!
These are Rephr brushes. I feel like I talk about them so much, I didn’t want to repeat, lol. They are a little on the pricey side but they are handmade in Japan. You can buy what’s in their concept store…which I think this set with the shader brush is there right now 40% off rephr.com/?vr=opqowe. (Affiliate link, you can also find them direct)
I just found your channel and really like the videos I watched tonight. I have been a makeup junkie for a long time and always tried to buy the best brands for my skin within a reasonable price. I moisturize every day/night and use eye creams, I also used face primer, under-eye primer and eyelid primer for as long as I can remember. For the longest time I have used glittery eyeshadows as accents, but have recently developed some major eye area irritations (scaly dry skin) on eyelid and under the eye. I stopped using stored bought primer, I now make my own from aloe vera and almond oil. I am throwing out all my glittery eye shadows. Can you recommend an organic vegan matte eye shadow palette that I might try.
Unfortunately, I don’t have that info on the products! I do know Elf, Wet n Wild, and Viseart are cruelty free. Our eyelids show the most change, don’t they!! Are you using retinoids or retinols near the eye? Sometimes you don’t need to put them on the eyes to still have a drying effect, especially Tretinoin.
@@LisaMonique thank you for replying I really appreciate that. I do use L’Oréal hyaluronic serum in the morning and the L’Oréal night serum with retinol at bedtime. I’ve since stopped using those…I actually spent time on the Elf website last night and I’m gonna order some products. As someone who recently turned 50 my skin care routine is the so important. I can’t stop aging, but I’m trying to improve the look of it. Makeup used to be a daily occurrence when I worked in the office, the last 18 months it literally became the least important thing. I’m starting back at the office 1 day a week next week and I found the 5 min makeup video you posted and I’m going to follow it. I’ve never been great at implementing new techniques, I’ve done the same makeup style for 30 years but it’s time to have my makeup more refined and mature. I really think you are fabulous and looking forward to watching more videos.
Have you heard of Seint Makeup. I bought everything for bronzing, highlighting,contouring blush and lips. I’m not sure if I’m doing it correctly. Maybe I’m just not comfortable with it yet?!
Yes I love their Makeup , I bought when they were Maskara. The key is a really light touch and I have to use a setting spray because it is pretty creamy. I have an old video, probably from 2020
Just started watching your channel and am going to search these products out, should be able to find them here in Canada. I also really like your hair, do you have highlights?
Yes, I have, and I love them. I especially love the glow stick and the color stick. It comes with a bag and a free gift of lip gloss. I have been using the same 3 sticks for a year now. Cindy Joseph was a model and believes it is important to embrace growing older.
As I got older, I noticed peach fuzz on my face. I just turned 60 and I have a lot. Do you recommend shaving or using a deplaner on your face? I did it 2 times, loved my smooth skin afterwards, but it seems like it's growing back faster.
It doesn’t grow back faster, you just notice it because you’re going from zero on face to having fuzz again, whereas it was growing at different times and then falling out before. For my cheek and chin area, I do find shaving in the shower is the fastest. But I have to use a small razor around the eyes.
Thank you for your lesson!! My mascara ALWAYS smudges above and under my eyes. I haven't used mascara for a few years but I'm feeling motivated. Please help!🙂
Have you tried a tubing mascara? This was my daughters fav: L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara until her mama bought her the more expensive Hourglass Unlocked mascara. They don’t smudge and wash off with soap and water.
I usually wear minimal makeup because it's what i have done all my life but this year i will be 55 and as time goes on, I just feel blah. I watched your video last week and purchased a whole new face😉. I am learning to use concealer and eyeliner for the first time! I would love to see a tutorial on applying eyeshadow. I can't seem to figure out blending. And thank you. I received two compliments my first time out with my updated look!
That’s so nice to hear!!! I do have a few videos on eyeshadow. I think my toss the brushes, sponge tip applicator video is a good one for those that have trouble blending 💕
They do make a line of lipsticks for mature women from a company called Color the World. I bought 3 of them, the colors are beautiful and they last a long time. The best part is that they never bleed.
I appreciate that you are providing such useful information on "drugstore brands". I think there are many "mature" women like me who, even if we can afford it, don't care to pay exorbitant prices for makeup. Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!! 🍂🍁🍂🍁

@Auntie M. I am the same! I’m 58 but I’m afraid to look bad. Whenever I try make up, especially drug store brands I never seem to get the right colors. I’m not against drug store brands I just haven’t had good luck. But these videos help me to have courage
The green is beautiful on your eyes🤩 I’m going have to buy it! Wonderful video as per usual
Thank you so much!! It really is lovely!! 💕
The green is GORGEOUS on you!
Thanks Deb!!! I've had a few people ask for me to do your makeup again, are you game when I'm back in town?
Good morning Lisa. I really enjoyed this video. I wear shimmer and yes, metallic on my 58 yo dark brown eyes. It's beautiful on me. I wish I had your medium skin tone..
Good morning! Thanks so much for watching!! 🌸💕🍁🍂🍁🍂
I just found your channel. I love your videos.I’ve been bing watching them a bit for two days. The first one I watched was about the makeup mistake we make over 50 and I did my make while watching it. I learned a lot and the results were great. My boyfriends yes widened in surprise and he gave me a beautiful complement. I’m turning 50 this year and figured it’s never too early…Thank you. Hugs-Tera
That's awesome Tera! Thanks for watching and letting me know!! 💕💕💕💕
Glad to see a video recommending good otc products that are affordable for the average over 55 woman. Thanks.
I do like to use both drugstore and Sephora/department store brands, but always try and give a good mix on my channel!!! Thanks for watching!! 💕💕💕🍁🍂🍁🍂
Such a helpful and great video Lisa! I always like to see which products you like the best.
Thank you Maggie! I'v been enjoying your channel too 💕🍂🍁💕
Thank you for another amazing video! I like that lime green eye shadow on you! 😍
The green looks awesome 👏🏻
Thank you! I do like it too, though haven't been wearing it enough. You've motivated me to wear something that coordinates with green today so I can wear it again! 💕💕💕
Great suggestions and the honey is refreshing. I appreciate the price points and being shown how to wear them.
You are such a natural beauty.
Very useful information. Thank you for this helpful information on drugstore makeup
That green eyeshadow is gorgeous!
That green is gorgeous
I like that you do both the budget and luxury lines!
Thanks Lari, I do love them both!!! It’s easier and cheaper to shop drugstore, but I normally find more shades that go with my darker skin at Sephora💕💕💕
@@LisaMonique I do both myself and I have a similar skin tone to yours, so it's so refreshing to see!! Thanks for your videos, I'm learning a lot! My daughter asked me why I'm checking over 50 Beauty UA-camrs and I was like, "I've never been this age, so I gotta learn how to do things different now, my skin has changed and so must I!"
The day I happened across your channel Lisa (late, last week), I was so delighted !! The discovery of you was almost like a that of a treasure… and I say that having now watched a few of your videos.
You come across as a zephyr, and it’s quite a refreshing 🌬 🌱 change from “the usual suspects”, so to speak.
Then there’s that all important niche you’ve managed the snag. You may be targeting the over 50s, but I’m sure there are a few of us not far from 50, who feel like we’re going through a “puberty in reverse”, trying to avoid the mutton-dressed-as-lamb trap 🙄🙄.
So thank you for your candid and relaxed videos. Wishing for you success on a spectacular scale 💫
"Mutton dressed as lamb"! I love it!!!! Lol So true!!!! 😂
Great info! Only wear drugstore! Why spend more money when many good inexpensive products are available! 💕
Excellent recommendations! Thank you Lisa. 🙏❤️🙏
Lisa Monique, thank you so much for these recommendations! It’s nice to have affordable options, and a guide to purchase a nice makeup kit. I enjoyed this video and plan to view more of your channel.
Thank you for watching!!! I try and do a good mix of affordable, mid price and luxury brands (less luxury because it's too expensive to buy just to make a video 🤣)
@@LisaMonique You’re welcome Lisa, I just subscribed to your channel! I love make up, but after a few years of mask wearing, I feel like I’ve kind of lost my way. I love how your application leans towards a more natural look. There are so many really young beauty creators here who apply layer after layer of cosmetics… I cannot, lol. Happy to have found you and glad you’ve made a space that caters to us older girls : )
I really love watching your videos. They are so helpful.
Hi Lisa 😊 Nice budget look! That green is very pretty on you. 💞 Some of those Essence palettes are half off right now! Have a great weekend!
Thank you!! They ware pretty picked over at our Ulta, I need to find another source, lol. Have a wonderful weekend!! 💕🍁💕🍂
You are so inspiring and educational, I have learned a lot from you, thank you!
I can't tell the difference in drugstore vs the high end look! Do you feel the difference at all? I'm perplexed by your love of L'Oreal Voluminous regular mascara. It clumps terribly for me. Do you apply it straight away or pump the tube? I love the L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly mascara. The brush makes all the difference. Must be my application techniques. Love that palette! I agree with the No 7 powder. I use their bronzer on my light skin with a kabuki. Lovely, smooth touch of sun. Looks better than the more pricey one I have. Thank you so much for this. Can't wait for the tools video.
Isn’t that funny about the Voluminous!! What one person loves doesn’t work for the next. I do love my luxury brands, I find some individual drugstore products that work as well or better, but the luxury brands seem more pigmented and finely milled as a whole line. And I like I can test before I buy….or have a salesperson sell something to me, I’m a sucker for the sales pitch lol.
@@LisaMonique gosh I'm so glad I threw all those things away thanks for the tips guys have a great day see you in court buddy
I'm really enjoying your videos. Can you do a video on how you store your makeup? Thank you.
Green is phenomenal when you have hazel eyes and want to pull the green. Similar to the violets.
Brilliant channel. Can you recommend the essential makeup kit eg brushes etc.
Also missed the medium coverage foundation section. Plan to subscribe. Thanks 🥰
I am doing a video on my favorite makeup tools this month 💕
Great video! And the birdie was hilarious 😂
I was hoping to get through a video without his squawking, but it was not to be....🐤🐤🐤
Thank you for this video. How do you choose shades appropriate to your skin color? Especially in a store where the light might be funky?
It’s hard, especially with some dollar store type brands. Otherwise for drugstore foundation I usually examine the shades at home on a computer and then I can narrow down what shade I’m looking for before I go to the drugstore. A lot of time in the drugstore they don’t have the full range either so that is frustrating as usually it’s the darker shades which I need that are cut off. I’m not sure if you are in the US, but I return foundations if I don’t get the right shade, or rather I will return any make up if I don’t like the shade. Eventually you get an eye for which terrible plastic color swatch actually looks good on you lol. Or even what shades look best through the glass or plastic packaging.
I don’t wear shadow. But that is a beautiful pallet! I put quite a few products in my cart. Good suggestions.
I love the Montreal pallet!,
Love your videos always so informative. Have you ever done one for eye make up for sensitive eyes or suggestions?
I have not, I can look for options but won’t have “real world” experience since my eyes aren’t that sensitive
thank you so much, Lisa!! I just found your channel and it's amazing. Thank you for your awesome practical advice. I use everything from luxury brands to drugstore brands. I would love to see a video about luxury brands/drugstore equivalent and what you think is worth spending your money on at Sephora/Ulta or what works well from the drugstore. Clear as mud? Thanks again....immediately subscribed!
I do have a Sephora video coming up and I’m planning a drugstore/luxury foundation dupe video! Just trying to remember what each foundation is like (I own about 65) so I can pair them!
Lisa, Your video content is always excellent and well delivered. I've heard so much about the CT Flawless Filter Powder but so far I've deleted it from my cart before completing my order. Definitely will try the No. 7 powder instead. Enjoy the weekend!
Thank you, you too!!!! 💕💕💕
Love my voluminous I have tried so many mascaras and I always come back to this one I'm interested in what colors you would recommend for blue eyes I've always used brown tones of course I could experiment with different colors non-neutral when I was much younger maybe you could do a video on that sometime thank you I love your videos:):)
Peachy tones look great with blue eyes, they really make the blue pop. So even if your going brown, look for more orangey browns!
Your videos are always so helpful, budget or bling, sincere and sweet. I’ve loved your no 7 & Milani suggestions many times 🍂💕🍂❤️🔥🍁!! (And CT too, 100% love 💗).
Thank you Olina. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!! 🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁
I love your videos but if you could speak a little more slowly when you talk about the name of the product. I'm over 80 because of years of retina letter A, I'm fortunate to have good skin and I think you should emphasize the use of rotina a. Perhaps you have. May God bless your good work
@@annieskipper5441 you can reduce the speed of your video to .75 or .50 to slow down; she also has the links below her videos; hope that helps 💕🍁💕🍁!!
@@annieskipper5441 I do talk fast, and will try and slow down, but I usually can't even remember what I want to talk about, so thinking of all the rest is hard, lol. Lately I have making sure I put the name of all the products across the screen and they are also always listed in the description box! I have talked about tretinoin (RetinA )in previoius anti-aging videos but I stopped using it about 5 months ago because I'm in the sun too much now that I'm walking every day, and it's not recommended. I may pick it up again this winter as I'll be inside more, but I'm no longer a constant user. But it is the gold standard for anti-aging 💕💕💕💕
Thanks you for sharing your expertise!
Thanks for all your tips. 💚😀
Love watching your channel so enjoyable
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Hi love your channel can you tell me WHATS the best affordable wrinkle cream i can purchase?
I can’t really recommend a wrinkle cream because I look for moisture in my creams, and serums or my Tretinoin for wrinkle reduction. However, I think right now is the most effective at reducing wrinkles so I would look at the Olay retinol Cream if you’re looking at an all in one product.
So nice to turn on YTube and find your pleasant smiling face, Lisa!!
Great video☺👍🏼🤗
Thank you so much Kara!!
Greetings from New York 🗽 I just recently came across your channel, and to my surprise, I enjoyed your video. New Yorkers are picky as to who and what they like. 😁 And I do like your presentation and content. And by the way, I have subscribed to your channel. Hopefully, I'll learn how to use makeup properly. Thank you for being genuine and explaining your techniques so precisely. ~Elizabeth NYC ❣🗽
Thank you so much Elizabeth!! I hope you enjoy many more of my videos!! Let me know if you have any content ideas!! 💕💕💕
Love your videos. You deserve a gigantic you tube channel and I think you’ll get there. Love your recommendations❤️
Thank you so much Leslie!!! 🍁🍂🍂
This was so helpful! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! 💕💕💕💕
Hi Lisa, I love that Neutrogena foundation, it's very pretty on you. I need to look into the Milani cream blush and lip gloss you showed. I agree, Pixie is very expensive in Canada, it's almost the same price as something you can buy at Sephora. Congrats on your channel growth!! Have a nice weekend. xo
Good morning Cathy!! Thanks, it’s pretty amazing and more than I thought I could grow in a week!!!! I feel like Kimberly when her channel took off! 😃
Love NYX and L'Oreal, my fave brands! But I am on a no-buy for now, plenty of makeup around here lol! Tho I might give that new L'Oreal mascara a try when I run out of mascara. You look great Lisa, tysm!! ~~Chanel
❤️❤️👏👏❤️❤️ thank you for the help!!!
I'm 63, and rarely ever wore makeup. I never really needed to. But now I have dark spots on my face and bits under eyes. I maybe beautiful inside, but I'm looking a little drab on the outside. Wish I had someone give me a makeover to show me what to do. I'm buying the wrong primers for my skin. Plus everything goes into my wrinkles and pores. .
If I do use stuff on my face , I put everything on lightly. Need more of a pop.
Thank you for your videos. I'll keep watching. 🤩
You have the nicest natural nails! Thanks for the tutorial using drugstore brands. I feel luxury products are overhyped and overpriced. I have had some luxury and drugstore duds so it’s really a level playing field.
I don’t own any luxury duds because if they are a dud, I immediately return LOL. Too expensive to keep if it doesn’t work 🤪🍁🍂🍁🍂
@@LisaMonique - same. You just have to be careful where you purchase. I bought a $75 Charlotte Tilbury pallet. The formula was nice but colors were too warm and most were also too deep for me. Thankfully I bought from Nordstrom so was easy to return. I replaced with a Catrice pallet at Ulta. Formula was equally nice, better shade range and it was only $15!
Hi Lisa … thanks and quick question..when it comes to how long to keep any products …lipstick, eye, foundation..when not used up right away? 🧐 I’m sure I’ve got a stash that’s way to old.
Disclaimer: This is not official advice, this is just what I personally am doing. I have literally THOUSANDS of dollars of makeup purchased in the last 2 - 2 1/2 years. My rule of thumb for anything wet: has it separated, discolored, changed consistency, oxidized, does it smell? If so, I toss. Then I ask myself "how old is it?" None of my purchases for UA-cam are over 2 1/2 years old, so I'm not tossing unless one of the above happens (which it has on a few products). Some of the makeup I purchased when I did hair and makeup on clients is a few years old but I moved upstairs to my personal stash. For true powder products, I have always finely sprayed with 70% alcohol to sterilize, so I'll keep until it no longer looks good or hardens up or I just don't like. For mascara's and such, I usually replace once they get too thick. If something's really old, like 5-7 years old, I'd toss unless collector item, like some of the luxury limited editions. I don't own any of those and I don't have any makeup that old! Like my favorite Charlotte Tilbury Cream Eyes to Mesmerize shadow is probably 2 1/2 years old and I still use all the time and am not going to toss anytime soon!! When I was younger, I probably had makeup that was 10 years old and still used before they started putting expiration dates on makeup, lol...but use your own discretion. Official position would be to follow expiration date.
@@LisaMonique wow , thanks. I guess your right, most of my stuff is within 2-3 yrs …I don’t have any old foundations.. some eye products I don’t like or use....lots of lipstick don’t like don’t use…old dry blushes…old stuff is gone out with the trash today 👍. I just purchased a number of new items to replace them from Target today 🤦♀️. Thanks again Kath
I love your videos. I now 66yrs and have known I needed to change products, especially the powders to creams. I think I have a lighter skin but that’s me guessing. How do I determine shades etc for m,y skin type if I’m not sure what it is? I’m in Canada and some of the brands you’re mentioning I’ve not seen here. I’ll keep looking for the brands but I’d really appreciate know how to determine my skin type. At least I’ll have a starting point. Thanks so much.
Unfortunately, sometimes it is a little trial and error, but I can tell my cheeks are DRY and they look like all the moisture is sucked out of them if I'm using the wrong foundation or powder. If your Tzone, or nose area gets really shiny or greasy feeling, but you have dry cheeks, you'd be combination and you may need a mattifing primer just no the nose area to absorb oil through out the day. I think most people know if they have oily skin!!
What brush did you use to apply the Essence eyeshadows? You made applying eyeshadow look so easy.
These are Rephr brushes. I feel like I talk about them so much, I didn’t want to repeat, lol. They are a little on the pricey side but they are handmade in Japan. You can buy what’s in their concept store…which I think this set with the shader brush is there right now 40% off rephr.com/?vr=opqowe. (Affiliate link, you can also find them direct)
THANK YOU FOR THIS
Awesome video thanks 💜
I just found your channel and really like the videos I watched tonight. I have been a makeup junkie for a long time and always tried to buy the best brands for my skin within a reasonable price. I moisturize every day/night and use eye creams, I also used face primer, under-eye primer and eyelid primer for as long as I can remember. For the longest time I have used glittery eyeshadows as accents, but have recently developed some major eye area irritations (scaly dry skin) on eyelid and under the eye. I stopped using stored bought primer, I now make my own from aloe vera and almond oil. I am throwing out all my glittery eye shadows. Can you recommend an organic vegan matte eye shadow palette that I might try.
Unfortunately, I don’t have that info on the products! I do know Elf, Wet n Wild, and Viseart are cruelty free. Our eyelids show the most change, don’t they!! Are you using retinoids or retinols near the eye? Sometimes you don’t need to put them on the eyes to still have a drying effect, especially Tretinoin.
@@LisaMonique thank you for replying I really appreciate that. I do use L’Oréal hyaluronic serum in the morning and the L’Oréal night serum with retinol at bedtime. I’ve since stopped using those…I actually spent time on the Elf website last night and I’m gonna order some products.
As someone who recently turned 50 my skin care routine is the so important. I can’t stop aging, but I’m trying to improve the look of it.
Makeup used to be a daily occurrence when I worked in the office, the last 18 months it literally became the least important thing. I’m starting back at the office 1 day a week next week and I found the 5 min makeup video you posted and I’m going to follow it. I’ve never been great at implementing new techniques, I’ve done the same makeup style for 30 years but it’s time to have my makeup more refined and mature.
I really think you are fabulous and looking forward to watching more videos.
Have you heard of Seint Makeup. I bought everything for bronzing, highlighting,contouring blush and lips. I’m not sure if I’m doing it correctly. Maybe I’m just not comfortable with it yet?!
Yes I love their Makeup , I bought when they were Maskara. The key is a really light touch and I have to use a setting spray because it is pretty creamy. I have an old video, probably from 2020
Just started watching your channel and am going to search these products out, should be able to find them here in Canada. I also really like your hair, do you have highlights?
No, it’s probably my grays, lol, they are pretty long and speckled throughout but look more blond in the bright lights!
Lisa,
Have you tried Boom Sticks?
No, but every time I think I will order them I just think they're so expensive for just the three sticks lol
I bought them a year ago and I am still using it. They go a long way.
What would you recommend to hide marionette lines?
Yes, I have, and I love them. I especially love the glow stick and the color stick. It comes with a bag and a free gift of lip gloss. I have been using the same 3 sticks for a year now. Cindy Joseph was a model and believes it is important to embrace growing older.
As I got older, I noticed peach fuzz on my face. I just turned 60 and I have a lot. Do you recommend shaving or using a deplaner on your face? I did it 2 times, loved my smooth skin afterwards, but it seems like it's growing back faster.
It doesn’t grow back faster, you just notice it because you’re going from zero on face to having fuzz again, whereas it was growing at different times and then falling out before. For my cheek and chin area, I do find shaving in the shower is the fastest. But I have to use a small razor around the eyes.
Thank you for your lesson!! My mascara ALWAYS smudges above and under my eyes. I haven't used mascara for a few years but I'm feeling motivated. Please help!🙂
Have you tried a tubing mascara? This was my daughters fav: L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara until her mama bought her the more expensive Hourglass Unlocked mascara. They don’t smudge and wash off with soap and water.
I usually wear minimal makeup because it's what i have done all my life but this year i will be 55 and as time goes on, I just feel blah. I watched your video last week and purchased a whole new face😉. I am learning to use concealer and eyeliner for the first time! I would love to see a tutorial on applying eyeshadow. I can't seem to figure out blending. And thank you. I received two compliments my first time out with my updated look!
That’s so nice to hear!!! I do have a few videos on eyeshadow. I think my toss the brushes, sponge tip applicator video is a good one for those that have trouble blending 💕
Love this video 😍
Any advice on lipstick that don't bleed into lip lines? I'd appreciate your advice Please?
They do make a line of lipsticks for mature women from a company called Color the World. I bought 3 of them, the colors are beautiful and they last a long time. The best part is that they never bleed.
They sound wonderful!! 💕💕💕
Thank you for lipstick advice I'll try them 🙂
