I’m 42 and I wear shimmer/glitter on my eyes everyday and I love seeing older women wearing fun makeup. You’re never too old to enjoy these things.
I’m 39 having a midlife crisis about turning 40 😂. Idk why I’m SO fixated but lately I’m like “i need to stop wearing makeup, when do I take my nose ring out, oh man it’s all over for me”. I know, a bit dramatic. I’m very active and I def feel young (in body, not in soul lol) but I’ve been struggling. Today I took a menty day because finals and hosting Christmas has me stressed and as I got ready to run errands I had a VERY RANDOM pull to wear a purple shimmery eye shadow. I have no such thing but now I’m seeing how stupid my thoughts have been. My grandma was a beautiful and fabulous woman and was always with her signature red lip. Why should I give up playing with makeup or trying to feel beautiful. As we get wiser, it’s intimidating to understand we aren’t what we were, but why should that matter!
I’m 44 and doing the same!
42-in courtroom everyday and I wear shimmer daily 💅
I'm 38 and I wear shimmers and glitter on my eye lids. ❤️❤️
I’m 65 and wear shimmers but not the chunky glitter shadows.
I loathe rhe fact that so many creators and MUAs on social media say that a look isn't complete without false lashes. Most of us hate wearing false lashes and mascara and a eyelash cutler, used well, creates a beautiful eye look... 💜
Good thing lashes and mascara are “out”. I hate lash extensions! Lashes can look good but the extensions are always overkill
*IF* I were to ever bother with falsies, it'd be for a Very Important event where the lack-of-thick-lashes is more noticeable. I have long & decent-curl lashes, never been blessed w/ thick ones (though not sparse either). I don't have the time to fuss w/ false lashes along w/ the extra time to properly take off & clean them for re-use. My ADD says "Nope, you're getting cleaned up soon as possible, & you're putting on colorful but simple makeup" for 95% of my life.
@@Thetinyfit I didn't think mascara was out unless you mean the combo of falsie + mascara for uber-thickness & length?
I have never worn fake lashes.
@ apparently it’s a “thing”. A thing I certainly won’t be picking up lol. Kelly Gooch talks about it in her beauty commentary stuff
I'm 70 and I wear a shimmer shadow on the middle of my lids. I get lots of compliments!
Love your channel!
Love this ❤✨
Myth #8 (shimmers/glitters shouldn't be worn by mature women)... I call BS! I'm 60 years old and I still rock shimmers! Ever since I was a teenager, whenever anyone said "You can't do ______", my thought or comment was always "WATCH ME!".
58 year old here... I LOVE my shimmer and glitter eyeshadows. Just got the Icy Nude palette and I'm wearing the heck outta it 🎉
I agree! I'm 60 and I love my Makeup Geek shimmers and duo chromes!
Agree! As a 58 years old " Girl" i loooveeee shimmers!
✨✨✨
Ma'am I was in bed, lights out, ready to go to sleep... got up and removed my makeup #doublecleanse ❤
I'm 54 now, and if I live to be 100, I will still be wearing glitter and shimmer on my eyes. Shimmery and glimmery things make me happy, and when I feel happy, I project that out into the world.
Me too!
🫶🏽❤️✨✨
This is literally your best video ever, IMO. Super informative, super knowledgeable and great humour to boot. I have been with you since day dot and just love where you have taken your channel and your education of all of us, along the way. Thank you so much for this fabulous content, it's just so good and appreciated x
Way back in the '80s, as a teenager, I learned from one of the beauty magazines simply to put foundation and pressed powder on the eyelids and the lips along with the rest of the face to prevent eyeshadow from creasing and lipstick from feathering. That was our "primer" before primer was available, and it's always worked like a charm for me (although today I use face powder VERY sparingly because of fine lines and dry skin). In recent years, I did try using an eyeshadow primer for a while, because I love trying new products and techniques - but I didn't see any magic to it.
I'm 52 and I agree on the powders. You should check out some of the drugstore brands carry hydrating powders. I find those more forgiving! I have one from W7 pressed powder lift &illuminate, and I have a loose one from hard candy it has chill in the name. Both seem to be much less drying.
Ditto😂
Some of the “rules” around makeup were because of formula issues as much as they were about the look. So, “don’t wear powder if you’re over 50 or have dry skin”- 10 years ago most powders were rather chalky looking and emphasized lines and wrinkles, and exacerbated dry skin. That’s not true now because technology has changed. It’s similar with “don’t wear glitter or shimmer on mature skin”. The formulas were not as good as they are now so if you had crepey eyelids shimmer and glitter formulas would call attention to it and generally didn’t lay down as smoothly.
One of the reasons I watch makeup and beauty content is so I see the evolution of the product formulations- not just the changes in makeup looks, and can make changes to my own routine as things change and improve. Several of the products and even the colors I wear now at 50 years old didn’t work for me at 30 years old due to the limitations of makeup development at time.
So true!!! Makeup formulations today are nothing like what my mom sold thru Mary Kay in early 90s, or the Avon I sold for 16 yrs in late 90s - 2020 when they were too much like K-beauty brand w/o sample to check color/formula (i'll pay the little bit more if any, to see it in store at Ulta or Sephora).
Haruharu is one of my favorite brands too!!! This was such an awesome video Marlena! I miss you friend!❤❤
Marlena, I received the samples of your new perfume line. I can’t praise it enough. It’s exquisite and the smell of each and every one is amazing. To say that you know it’s extremely special when my 24 year old daughter said oh mom what are you wearing because you smell so great? I am so confused about which one to order, I would order a few but I am on a tight budget. Congratulations to you
The only makeup myth I didn't hear you address is that oily skin doesn't need moisturizer/hydration. I grew up in the era of Sea Breeze astringent topped by Oxy pads, scrubbing the skin with St. Ives peach pit exfoliating scrub and slathering on the benzoyle peroxide for acne. My oily, large pored acne prone skin was also flakey, scaley and dry. We didn't have the formulas back then that we have now, and once I started to actually show my skin some love with proper topicals including moisturizers and *ghasp* oils like squalane, my oil production actually reduced and my pores have gotten shallower. Similarly, the myth that foundation MUST be oil-free.
I mostly use drugstore products for budget reasons, and I love them. I rarely buy expensive makeup and when I do I honestly don't notice the difference in quality of product personally.
Loved this video! I’m 64 and really like shine in my eyes, however finding the right one is a challenge.
Thanks so much for your time! Take care and Merry Christmas 🎄
I need to add. If you don’t have dark circles to cover, just use your foundation under your eyes. Concealer conceals and if you have nothing to conceal then ditch the concealer.
If I can find a makeup brush that will do my laundry I will happily pay $120 for it, LOL!
I love Haruharu Wonder! On my 3rd bottle of the rice oil cleanser and same for the sunscreen. I am 63 and this is the best cleanser for sensitive, dry eyes. It takes off all my eye makeup with no irritation at all. Marlena this video was so informative as always! Oh and I still wear shimmer and glitter on the eyes
This one is one I grew up hearing older women should never wear red lipstick especially matte red lipstick. ❤ Sending lots of love and joy
Red with a lot of brown in it can look harsh when you’re older and isn’t flattering. But an orange red or blue red lights up the face at any age.
Omg Marlena are you talking to me specifically about cleaning my makeup brushes? 😂 you got me
These are fun tips and facts, Marlena! I loved your MUG brushes and still your foundation brush was my all time favorite! I frequently get my make up for the stage and for photo shoots done professionally, and have gathered some make up questions based on what some MUAs have told me that I was curious about :
1. Setting spray breaks down makeup, thereby making it actually last fewer hours?
2. Natural hair brushes are always superior in performance to synthetic bristles?
3. Simple triangle sponges work just as great as expensive ones (I suppose the question is, are ALL sponges essentially the same?)
4. Moisturizer and primer work exactly the same way; in other words, moisturizer can substitute for primer?
Finally a question of my own! Is it always best to apply makeup to a freshly washed face? What if it's been a few hours, and just splashed with water? Does having some dirt/oils on the face make things better or worse?
Thanks for giving us a chance to ask some stuff and hopefully you have the chance to get around to addressing some of these! :)
Nice makeup tutorial video 🥰🥰🥰
marlena I have to say i think it's brilliant you started your own purfume brand sorry I'm a bit late congratulating you I have bought many of the fragrances you have reviewed and suggested I'm looking forward to try what you've formulated xx
Aww that makes me so so happy to hear!!! Thank you!!!
That is interesting ~ powder foundation as an eye primer. I may try !!
It works so well- I don't use regular eye primers anymore
@@MarlenaStell Was that Fenty powder foundation you was using? Great video!
I have been using regular face primer on my eyes and then setting it with powder foundation before doing my eye makeup and my eye makeup lasts all day.
The haruharu sunscreen is my go to. Makeup NEVER pills! For glitter/shimmers, if you are hesitant, apply lightly, at least at first, with a finger, and go for a ‘sequin ‘ effect, then apply another layer if you want more punch
Loved this list! Another one I would add is not everyone that has a similar skin color have the same undertones. My sister and I both have tan skin but she has a reddish undertone and mine is warm golden.
Another myth: Sponges ALWAYS have to be wet/dumped before use. No! They can be used dry, won’t add additional moisture to the skin but they will blend makeup and absorb excess every time. If anything, they could give more coverage and a longer matte finish when dry. ❤
Shimmer on a hooded eye lid opens it up! I am 56 and wear it like a champ!
You are so good! Not to mention appreciated!!
Powder won't stop the oils from breaking through if your eyelids are super oily . You are lucky to do it so but for me not wearing an eyelid primer will break the shadow within an hour.
Same. And an eyeshadow primer is a necessity. Oily skin requires more help. I put powder over that and shadows go on fine and actually last.
You are amazing !!! Thank you for your videos
I still use my eyeshadow palettes that are over 5 years old. 😬
Yup. I sold Avon for 16 years til 2020, & no few of my palettes were several years old. I honestly only got rid of most of them bc they weren't sold anymore and it's hard to sell a product your customer or potential customers can't get a hold of.
I know that’s right…cuz I do too…i didn’t spend that much money for it to go to waste
@@jeannewishes1688 Exactly! 🤣
Same!
I do too! I have a purple/ cool lined Kat Von D pallet that I bought around 2018 that still works great! I don’t use it often, but pull it out once in a while. Powders last a very long time!
I need to try that cleansing oil. The Haru sunscreen is one of my favorites. Thanks for all the great info Marlena?❤
10:15 wrong, I do need an eye primer. Pressed powder will not prevent creasing, shadows applied over powder don't stay put and you don't get the same color payoff. Doing what you say causes shadow to crease and budge within an hour. I see this happening to every woman not wearing eye primer. Maybe that tip is for people with very dry skin? Eye primer assures great color payoff, the eyeshadow sticks to the skin and I can blend them easily, try Milani eye shadow primer.
I'm 25 and I wear a shimmer shadow on the middle of my lids. I get lots of compliments!
Love your channel!
Hi Marlena! Could you do an updated brush cleaning video!! Thank you❤
Totally agree on Haru sunblock. I used the chemical one and it is truly good. Non greasy and velvety finish.
I am a cleansing oil user. Will definitely try the Haru one after my current Shu Uemura is finished. So far, I have never use a cleansing oil that leaves me feeling fresh, always feel a thin layer on oil still sticking on my face even though the make up is completely gone so double cleanse, definitely! That leaves my face feeling wonderfully clean.
Thanks!
I'm almost 60 and I still like a pop of shimmer on my lids.
Plus there SOOOOOO much variation on the formulation of "shimmers" these days. I notice some of my "shimmers" wear OK on my 51 yo oily lids, while others are more like glitter (and a royal PITA to keep from being elsewhere on my face + the removal). We're old enough when something like the duo-chromes were unheard of except in extremely rare cases.
Same here!
In winter I take advantage of it getting dark before 5 pm so I do my nighttime routine early, haven't missed a night in 5 years ❤
It’s rare these days to find an authentic , over the -top die hard professional that practices what they preach is few and in between. 🥺
However, you are all that & more wrapped up in a gorgeous bow! 💝
Based on these Holiday launches , what would be your star curated palette full of shiny , shimmery goodness with a pop of color to treasure as your golden ticket of Fabulous? Eye 9- 12 shades/ textures , along a face/ cheek palette (6) pan ? 💫
Haruharu has been one of my favorite KBeauty brands. I’ve bought the sunscreen you mentioned several times and it’s amazing. Thank you Marlena ❤
You’re so knowledgeable!
Jen Luv does lots of videos on clean makeup. She is so annoyed at people who claim to make statements on clean makeup. And Jenn also mentioned you quite a while back, and that led me to your channel.
Also Lab Muffin debunked the "clean beauty" bs marketing years ago.
58 year old shimmer eyeshadow wearer here! Love some sparkle some days! Great video, Marlena!
your skin care tips are awesome ❤❤
So educational! Thanks
I don’t necessarily look for “natural” or “clean” makeup , but I have started looking into Non-Toxic makeup as they are hormone and endocrine system disruptors, - which I now have a problem with.
Same I hate the word « clean beauty » lack of preservative and name it! But I have autoimmune disease that causes hormonal problems, I look for product whitout hormone and endocrine system disruptors. I need to prioritize my health before cosmetics. I am happy for people who do not have this problem 💛
Thanks again for your very honest information. By the way, you look AMAZING without makeup!
Thank you Marlena I have just ordered both the Cleansing oil and Cleansing gel on your recommendation.
Sidenote:
Fragrances be kept in a cool/dry abd and away light. I have a drawer in bedroom for Fragrances. Just as with makeup, they will last much longer.
Apologies for typos 😮
I do exactly the same!
Love your videos Marlena ❤. Thank you!
So educational! Thanks❤️❤️❤️
That haruharu barrier essence is SO slept on! Changed my skin 😍
Thank you for good educational video and thank you for speaking about expiration dates especially on powder products! I feel like there so much false information on that. Especially saying shelf life is 2 years, or that shadows expire one year after opening. There so much false information which I feel like it is helping companies to sell more products to consumers because they will replace them more often
I’m looking forward to your makeup favorites of 2024. I love your content.
I truly enjoy your videos and appreciate your professionalism and opinions.
This was great. Thanks for doing this.
I appreciate you so !
Fabulous video. THANK YOU. LOVE high shimmer on my lids... almost 72. I LOVE make up and have A LOT. i wear a full face every day, minus the foundation. I rarely ever wear it and when I do, it's more of a skin tint. I never use primer or setting sprays. I have some eye shadows that are 30 years old. Tova Borgnine had a line of skin care (cactine) and make up. Her SECRET SHADE was so perfect that I bought a lot before it was discontinued. Still love it to this day. I apply with a clean brush and it's still a winner!
I also am a big fan of the double cleanse and NEVER NEVER sleep in my make up.
Looking forward to your next post.
Thank you Marlena! Always enjoy your videos. And I LOVE your perfumes
Thanks for sharing this with us, it was too helpful
I love the black rice toner from Haru Haru❤
Thanks for sharing useful information ❤
I am 64 and love shimmer
Love Korean skincare ❤️
It's SO good right?!
Haru Haru is my ride or die Korean skincare brand! That sunscreen is amazing and lays beautifully under makeup!!
Simply putting a powder to prime before eyeshadow is not sufficient if you have oily eyelids. We need the primer
Thank you so much and Merry Christmas 🎄
I use eyeshadow sticks. The Bobbi Brown and Victoria Beckham eyeshadow sticks need no primer.
❤❤ just ordered the cleansing oil and gel.
Your video is so helpful for us ❤
Unpopular opinion: don't use cleansing oil/balm to remove makeup. Remove makeup with micellar water or bi-phase removers and THEN do a double cleanse - aka TRIPLE CLEANSE. This way oil cleanser can work deeper or on breaking down residue/sun cream/oils, resulting in clearer skin.
Marlena for me. And I know im going to hear about it. That about sleeping in makeup for me. I've been doing it for 50 years. Not nightly. On and off when I'm to tired (old age lol) or get in late (younger & partying lol) and just want to get to be. I've been lucky to have never gotten an infection of any kind. Eyes or skin. No acne. Thank God. I'm glad you started your business again. I've been with you since your first separation when you where letting us know. You were wearing real pretty green eyeshadow. Oh and your baby is gorgeous. God bless your family.
Sleeping in your makeup doesn't cause eye infections. Just like using mascara past 3 months doesn't cause eye infections. Sleeping in your makeup may cause you to break out and sure as hell messes up your sheets,but other than that, nothing tragic will occur.
You are amazing!! Thank you for your videos❤
Love every video you post however i really appreciate when you do informative videos like this - i always get out my pen and paper lol🎄
Great video! Thank you!
0:22 having talc clog my pores saved me so much money, I can’t even tell you.
I have to disagree on the eyeshadow primer. While I do the setting powder step first to blend the mattes over, I have to use a sticky primer for the shimmers, multichromes, and especially glitter. The tacky primer amplifies the color, and holds it in place. I have super oily skin, and that's the only way to get it to stay put, and not crease. If I were to just use powder only, I would have a mess in 30 mins😅 and glitter all over my face 😅 Also on the spot foundation coverage, that's too much work. It easier and faster to just put it on all over your face. Also, I have eyeshadow palettes that are like 10 yrs old, and I STILL use them with no issues. I have the original WNW Comfort Zone palette, and the formula is STILL going strong. That's why I buy mostly powder eyeshadow. It lasts! And I'll ALWAYS wear shimmery, multichomey, glittery eyeshadow, no matter how old I get!! But I've always been a rebel 😅🥂💃🎉🎁🎄Happy Holidays!
Oily skin girls DO need eyeshadow primer! Just swipe some powder over the lid before applying eyeshadow. For years I followed MUA advice that you could use matte concealer as eye shadow primer. My eye makeup only lasted a few hours. I just thought my very oily skin was the problem. Not until my fifties did I buy an eyeshadow primer (Urban Decay’s) and it was an incredible difference. Now shadow lasts all day. A lot of advice for normal and dry skin people is completely wrong for oily skin. Even now, at age 63.
Great video. ❤❤❤
Marlena, could you show us how to cover under eye circles without wearing foundation? I don't like foundation, but can't cover dark circles without it being obvious I have makeup there, but not anywhere else.
You are naturally so beautiful. X
Great tips! I'm 51 and have quit wearing concealer. I don't have dark circles and my foundation is enough. Adding the concealer just sinks into lines. Plus it's a step and $ I can save.
Beautiful makeup tutorial
Do you put foundation under your eyes? Over or under concealer? Sometimes I’m not paying attention and I end up putting it under my eyes. I always think uh oh 😳 but I really don’t know what the norm is.
Learnt soooo much from you . Thank you for being so generous with your information, greatly appreciated. Love alll your videos ❤ ur so beautiful
You are naturally so beautiful.
Thank you!! It's part ofhaving aHuman face!! I will remember that one to tell myself when I can't get my skin flawlwss & I'm upset!!
48 year old here! I wear glitter nearly every day. I refuse to stop lol xxxx
Yesss! ❤
I’m 61 and can’t live without my eye shimmers😅😅😅 I will die wearing them for sure.
Nice mockup tutorial video
Sigma brushes have helped up so well from your recommendation 10 years ago
I love this video! ❤
I'm with you on the brushes. I clean mine after every use. I also have three sets th as t I rotate through so they'll last longer. I have a big collection of brushes on honestly only use the same 3-5 of them (depends on products I'm using and look I'm going for).
Wonderful video❤
Nice meakup tutorial video
Thanks for all the info. 👍🏼
beautiful product
Bonjour Marlena, j'adore le double nettoyage et j'aime l'essence de Caudelie. Merci pour le partage😍😍😍
I double and triple cleanse!😂😂
Same! It works SO amazing!!
