Hi everyone, here is a link to my blog where you can find many of my makeup products. We do make a small amount if you get something so thanks so much for that! www.awesomeover50.com/beauty/heres-a-list-of-some-of-the-makeup-i-use-in-my-videos/
Hi Jacqueline, so glad it worked for you! By the way, we did a short video on a day in the life of our little Yorkie, it was just made to put a smile on people's faces. If you want to see it , here it is ua-cam.com/video/0bQFtf8v-5Q/v-deo.html
Why is anybody down voting this woman’s video? It’s really hard for women over 65 as it is and she’s putting herself out there and doing her best get some freaking manners
Her video is great, only the music is annoying, and as she acknowledged, live and learn. She's listened to people's opinions, and she's changing future videos.
I’m 67 and I remember that iconic photo from ALL the magazines. I still get tingles when I see it now. You are just as breathtaking now as you were then. Your photo symbolizes a whole generation of young teens and 20s and now you are still a beauty icon for my generation. You’re sweet too. Keep bringing us more lessons like when you started your career in beauty. Thank you, Heather. I’ve been a subscriber to your channel for a very long time.
FINALLY!!! Someone actually with hooded eyes doing a makeup tutorial for hooded eyes. You are stunning, before and after. I absolutely love your technique.
I got so much out of this video. I am 69 and don’t look too bad but I have the hooded eye too. I was doing a lot of the “donts “. You have opened my eyes😅
I just watched this video and it made so much sense--I'm 67 now and I don't even bother trying to do makeup on my eyes to address the droopiness because nothing seems to make a difference. But I'm going to try doing exactly what you did in this video because wow, what a difference between the "do" and the "don't" eye. Thanks!
I'm not sure how this ended on my video list, but I'm sure glad it did. Thank you so much ... I'm loving the hints! And it's so great to see a beautiful mature woman that's not plastic! Absolutely gorgeous!
Hello I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness prosperity, love ❤and peace all over the world🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Engineer Frank William from Nashville Tennessee, where are you from?💙🌹
At last a good tutorial for hooded, crepey eyes from someone who actually has these problems. I'm so sick of hooded eye tutorials from 30 and 40 year olds who don't have hooded eyes. Thanks very much. :) BTW, you look amazing for 61.
Hi Melanie, thanks for the comment. I totally agree that the video world needed someone who works with makeup artists and her own mature look for video tutorials. My eyes have certainly changed since I was in my 30's & 40's. Thanks for saying that about my age. There is a magic of makeup for sure and soon I'll get into my skin care regime. i'm so glad you're finding these videos useful, that makes my day!, Heather
Yes Melanie at last a tutorial from someone who has this problem and i can def agree about the do and the dont. Im experiencing the drooping eyelid at 66 as said, only looks good whilst youve got your eyes wide open and where is it once you relax lol. I to am sick of seeing these tutorials from 30 to 40 yr olds who dont have hooded eyes
Glad you found the video helpful Susan. I didn't have hooded eyes when I was younger and had to adapt to them as I aged. Hope these videos help us embrace our mature looks and give a little lift with the magic of makeup. Heather
Melanie Maguire I love you have your long hair,when I was in twenties my hubby said I was to old for long hair so I got it chopped,then had it past shoulders ever since,it's long now but have alopecia and it's thinned,but I won't chop it,just cut fringe,why should we cut our hair because we are older,xxx
I've been telling my daughter for years that using eye liner in the waterline is just cutting out visual real estate around the eye, making it look more closed up & smaller. She's finally seen the light after watching this video. Thanks for "opening her eyes", and for giving me some tips to get my eyes to look a bit younger & less droopy!
Great tips Heather! As a professional makeup artists (worked with the biggest names in the biz: models, photographers, designers, etc.) I have a few tips for you as well dear. Don't pump your mascara (it pumps air into the tube and makes your mascara go bad quicker) just twirl the wand around inside the tube and then pull it out and apply. Warm toned eye shadows are also great for your eye color and skin tone. Try some taupe, soft neutral browns, and cinnamon..they will make your own eye color really pop!!! Cheers, M.
Thanks Max, I really appreciate your input. I no longer pump my mascara. This was my 1st video and I have done dozens since. Congrats on all your achievements and thanks for the constructive comment.
You are the BEST! Thank you SO much - I feel attractive for the first time in decades! Your tutorial was exactly what I needed. Clear instructions, a cheerful attitude...I can’t wait to watch more of your tutorials! 💖💕💖💕

I also used to model in my early 20's and even taught make-up at a modeling studio here in Cleveland, OH! Now, at almost 60, I really appreciated this video refresher! ... and believe me, my 'droopy' (I mean 'mature' eyes) needed this. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

Hi Heather, this is just what I needed! You are an inspiration to all of us ladies who can't afford or choose not to mess with what God gave us except for a little non permanent fix! Thanks...Janine😊
I'm in my mid 50's and have recently noticed that I need to adjust my makeup techniques... this was really helpful. Thank you! Oh, and you look amazing with or without makeup! Relaxed and happy, and that's always beautiful.

Thank you so much.ive never wore make up til the last.im 59 and i definitely need it now!you absolutely beautibul and i can relate to your video.thanks for the help.im struggling w/my eyebrows and hope you have a video on that.
You are a wonderful and positive makeup instructor! You took the time to show us the technique to open up an eye. But, you also showed us techniques with your other eye that many of us use that are not helpful and why. That was very important as many of us probably use the same ineffective techniques over and over again and then wonder why we don’t look better. You took much of the picky criticism from viewers (in my opinion) so well and in stride. It made you not only a beautiful person on the outside but a beautiful person on the inside. So, if we were all paying attention, you taught us more than just about eye makeup. 🌺
Thanks Swan Lake (not sure if you're named after the ballet, but I just saw it a few months ago..it was amazing!) Anyway, thank you so much for your uplifting comment, it's people like you who inspire us to keep on making videos! Heather
d sipe, I have one hooded eye so the difference between my two eyes is even more dramatic than Heather's. A makeup artist in a department store once asked me if I had had a stroke and that was when I was only in my 50's. After seeing that Christy Turlington also has two very different eyes, I finally accepted it and am okay with it.
A little tip I learned for my downturned, hooded eyes is to only go halfway in when lining the bottom of your eye. So start at the outside just like you did but only bring it to the center of your pupils maybe just a tad further it keeps the eye nice an opened without closing it back up by bringing the liner to the corner this is what I do on the bottom lid.
@Just Me A little blush and eyebrow fill in never hurts anyone, but does make one look better and feel better. I'm 72 and I never wear foundation or highlighters, but I use good cleansing and moisturizers. It just makes ones day to start out looking like you care enough about yourself to show it. Great video.
Lovely to find you as I'm trying to correct a lot of chemo/cancer damage to my 51 yr old skin, including similar eyes. The best part is your personality and I look forward to future videos.
Oh Carol, I hope my videos help. I don't know you personally but I feel so connected to everyone in this community. I know it's a journey with what you're going through. Your post touched my heart and I will keep making videos and I hope I can bring a smile, some tips and best wishes to you for a wonderful future, Heather
Thanks for those tips! I definitely see a difference with your technique! I'm 46 and stopped wearing eyeliner because it would often end up on my upper lid. Your eyes look great with eyeliner! You are gorgeous (then and now)...
Oh please! I'm 56 and when someone tells me I look good for my age, do you think I get angry because it sounds insensitive? I'm thankful someone even NOTICES! Once you've done the miles, honey, you'll be GLAD when someone mentions how great you look for your age.
@@happyblue2792 that's your opinion. If you're so insecure about who you are that youre "grateful" because someone said you look good for an old lady ( that's exactly what it means ) than I feel sorry for you . Have a wonderful day
@@happyblue2792 you sound pathetic and angry. Jptab was simply saying that we should compliment people period and not add " for your age" at the end of it. If you're so stupid you don't get that. By the way jptab you are angelic looking wow.
You're gorgeous jptab. Do you model? I agree with that you said. I think it's rude that people add for your age . Its like a backhanded compliment. " You don't sweat much for a fat person" lmao
Everyone, why jump all over @Bobby Joe Williams If she's grateful and pleased at compliments, why shouldn't she enjoy them? If someone compliments you (however it's worded) and you feel complimented, then I call that a positive thing. It's just like an insult that misses its mark: if someone insults you and you don't feel insulted, it has failed its mission to make you feel small. It's like it never happened. Disparaging a compliment can erase the positivity of it, rendering it non-existent as well. Why do that to anyone?
You're using powdered eye shadow. Someone told me powdered shadow clumps (for the hooded eyes) and that the cream is better; moisturizing non-clumping. What do you think? Did you use liner on the bottom lid on the "do" eye or only the shadow? BTW the cuteness is soo cute!
I think dark liner on the lower lash line makes older women look even older. It also makes your eyes look smaller. It just seems to be a trend that everyone does. (pumping the mascara wand into the tube adds air & shortens the life of the mascara)

Wow!...I am amazed at the difference your makeup techniques made! Just found your channel and can't wait to watch all your videos. Keep up the good work!
I agree Ann, all the new videos have the music softened. This was my first beauty video and we can't edit the music unless we drop the video and re-submit it, which would be like starting over with it. Oh well, as they say, live and learn, Heather
Ann Burt I think it was the whistle sounds that were the most bothersome. Hooded eyes are sad to behold; less cheerful music would be more appropriate. I'd say lol but it really isn't so funny. Lol.
We decided on no more background music on the beauty videos from now on. Hooded eyes are sad to see growing on us mature women but the magic of a bit of makeup does help, Heather
You are amazing and so real in every way. I am 50 and do not look as well as you do. I can't say I hope to look as good as you at your age but I sure can try to imitate your enthusiasm and your realism. You are just being you and that is so appealing without makeup. Thank so much for your video and you are as beautiful as you were when you were younger because you are authentic. Many blessings.
Fabulous, I to have hooded eyes, I did have surgery 10 years ago to try and correct and it helped but now they're back and this tutorial will definitely change the way I apply my eye makeup. Loving little Hurricane who looks just like my little Yorkie Jack.
Hi Denise, so sorry to hear that your hooded eyes are back. The good news is, however, that I just filmed an updated Hooded eyes video and it should be live by 6 p.m. EST time today, Friday. Hope the new one is easier to follow (no whistling music and I just do one eye) All the best with it, by the way we did a short video on the day in the life of our little Yorkie. It was just made to put a smile on people's faces. You might see some similarities with little Jack! Here it is if you want to see it ua-cam.com/video/0bQFtf8v-5Q/v-deo.html
I have subscribed and will follow this for droopy eyes, although I do not usually do well with make-up. Thank you for all your tips. I have to say though Hurricane sure is cute and I was not expecting him to pop-up. I have two little rescue dogs and they are my cute factor but Hurricane is lovely. Thank you. PS What a beautiful young model you were and a beautiful 61 yr old also. I am 62 and it is only now my old friends tell be how beautiful I was when 17 or so...lol. Why did they not tell me then when I needed the confidence? - all the best.
Hi Ria and thanks so much for sharing.. Perhaps they were jealous when they were younger and have now grown out of it. Dogs give so much unconditional love and I'm so glad you let us know about the 2 rescues. Poor little Hurricane was in a cage for months before we found him. That's why he always has 400 kisses LOL. Take your time with the makeup. Put the eyeshadow on lightly at first and then increase the shading if you want to. Thanks so much for subscribing and welcome!
Loved your video on droopy eyes. I am 75 years old and still wear eye makeup if I go out even to get groceries. I always use brown/beige instead of mauve/pink and if I was going out for an evening I add mauve on top of the brown on the outside corner to brighten things up. I never wear eyeliner at the bottom but I do on the top to open up my eye and I use it like you do and of course mascara is the finishing touch. I will look into using hilighter in the future. Thank you for being down to earth and showing the before and the after.
You are so welcome Francine. Truth be told I won't go out grocery shopping without a little enhancing with makeup either. You are an inspiration at 75 that we all can feel awesome and we're never to old to learn how to make ourselves better. Thanks so much for sharing and keep on rocking those 70s for us!!
You do have beautiful eyes and a great personality to have a beautiful channel. I am sure you have a lot to share to keep looking your best. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks so much Rosemary, your kind words help me continue to make videos. It's actually a labor of love now as I just started on this channel a few weeks ago and the comments like yours are so inspirational for me to keep going, Heather
Thanks so much for letting me know you enjoyed the video Lynne. It encourages us to keep on making more videos. By the way, we did a short video on the day in the life of our little Yorkie, it was just made to put a smile on people's faces, I'll put a link to it at the end of this comment if you want to see it, Heather ua-cam.com/video/0bQFtf8v-5Q/v-deo.html
Fun video 😊 just a tip - once opened, it's best not to pump your mascara wand. Pumping forces bacteria caught in air as you pump. Once you shut wand back inside ... wellll 😨 Not pumping wand also helps to prevent premature drying up of tube. What is your favorite mascara btw? 👄💜💜
Hey Carolyn, thanks so much for the info. What you say makes perfect sense! Maybe that's why my mascara dries up so quickly. I'm working on getting the rights to mention the trademarked names of the products I'm using. I can't mention them now, but plan to in the future, sorry about that, Heather
Thanks Carolyn, appreciate your input. It may never happen, but many companies are clamping down on copyrights & trademarks. I'd be heartbroken if I had to take my videos down or edit them so much they didn't make sense. I am looking further into this though, thanks, Heather
I find that powdered eyeshadow is so much better than creams. The powders stay put longer.I don't find them drying, just like foundation most have some kind of moisturizer in them. Sometimes if it crepes a bit I can use my fingers and smooth it out if it's a long day or a damp tissue to smooth. Sure you're taking some off but it looks so much better. I also at all costs put my makeup on last before I leave the house, and extra hour or 2 helps to keep it looking fresh, Heather
I don't wear glasses but I might just buy a pair without lenses and practice an eye makeup look. If I think the video is good I will certainly upload it
Getting the research now with makeup artists and my eye glass wearing friends, could be a few weeks though until I get it all together, since I want to do it right.
I followed your techniques for eyeshadow for hooded eyes. It looks good. I had to remind myself not to lift my eyebrows when putting it on because then when I relax, shadow is in the wrong place. Thanks. I have some vertical lip lines, what do you know about treating them without injections which I can't afford. ??? My favorite part of the video? Hurricane! Great name for a terrier. So cute.
Hi Connie, I either use a collagen cream or coconut oil above my lips every night. (collagen cream if you don't have 2 hours before bed to let the coconut oil set in. ) I will put a link at the bottom of this comment to what I use and where to get it (just scroll down the page to get the info and links) I've never had injections and don't plan to ever get them so consistency of application every night is the key. It's also never too late to start. Little Hurricane also has a short video on this channel on the day in the life of him. It was simply made to put a smile on people's faces. Here is the page on my blog for the cream and oil, hope this helps www.awesomeover50.com/beauty/sharing-my-top-10-secrets-to-keeping-a-more-youthful-look/
Hi, so glad you enjoyed the video and tips. We did a video on the day in the life of little Hurricane. It was just made to put a smile on peoples faces in this sometimes crazy world. Here it is if you want to see it ua-cam.com/video/0bQFtf8v-5Q/v-deo.html
Thanks Anette, we are thankful for your constructive comment on the music and the last 2 videos are music free in the background. We just started doing videos and can't remove from this one since we'll lose our views but we are fixing it moving forward, thanks, Heather
She 61 years old and made her own UA-cam video. It to music bothered you that much why don’t you find some non-copyrighted music that you think would be good and send her a file and teach her how to do it?
Hi Karen Kimberly . You got it! I will do a video next week on a quick powder foundation and include how I apply concealer to my dark circles and also my imperfection spots. Hope this helps and thanks so much for your interest
Hi Monica Lemmer. Look in the mirror and try a bright awake look with your eyes. Do you see an area on the lid where you could put a natural beige light eye shadow? Make sure it's just a bit just above the retina of the eye and that's all. I hope it works for you. It will just give you the little bit of brightness for when you're the most expressive during conversations. I hope this helps. Heather
I just completed a new video for a light, natural foundation coverage that includes hiding my dark circles at ua-cam.com/video/fuenm7rHcDM/v-deo.html Hope you can use some of the tips Karen, and I hope it helps, Heather
In addition to addressing dark under eye pigment, could you also address loss of volume under the eyes? I’ve had dark circles my whole life. I’ve found the industrial-strength ;) concealers that address that issue. What I can’t seem to find is a way to address the loss of volume that accentuates that issue further. Concealer only covers the dark pigment - not the loss of volume. Any ideas? Thanks for the fun videos!
Ahhhh, finally someone I can relate to! You are AWESOME! i just turned 57 so I am in NEED of your wonderful tips! (and realism!) Love you! Keep it up! Very useful information!
I really can see the difference. I like your personality too. Finished beautiful. Please put beautiful music. That whistleing is so annoining. Love your hair colour
So sorry about the music. This was my very 1st video and I no longer put music in my beauty videos. Thanks for the lovely compliments and constructive comment about the music Linda
You are just lovely! And, truly genuine. Thank you for this tutorial. At 58, having given up on eyeshadow and eyeliner many years ago, I threw away a lot of my collection. Since I saw this two days ago I have been "practicing" with what I still have. As I said, practicing, but what fun!! You and your tutorial are heaven sent for this woman.
Wow, you just made my day! Always remember to start out lightly with the technique, maybe even for-go the liner at first. We just want to enhance your beautiful eyes with the magic of makeup. You sound like a beautiful soul and I want that twinkle in your eyes to just be enhanced for the natural "you". Heather
Success! Two days in a row now! I bought an inexpensive eyeshadow palette and have had some fun with it. ( I had bought a single color that has a formula for that is quite laughable for crepey lids.) The first day was amazing; it looked like I had my eyes "done." I kept going back to the mirror to see if I was seeing things. No eyeliner for now. Thank you for that tip. ;) My big mistake was putting the eyeshadow too low but just a little higher it's, well, like magic.
I'm so happy for you! You sound like you're getting the hang of things. I laughed out loud when I read how you kept going back to the mirror to "see if you were seeing things". You sound like a beautiful person on the inside and a little magic of makeup is just enhancing your glow on the outside, Heather
Thanks for this video. I am 54 and have rarely used makeup over the years but as I have gotten into my 50's and now play in a band I feel the need to do a little something to my "look" (whatever that is). Thanks for the video, it helps.
So glad I could help and that's awesome that you're in a band!! I'm doing a new eye makeup video that will be up tonight Friday). It's new tips and updates on my application. It's part of a 5 part series and I'll also do videos on lips, brows, foundation and contouring. I hope they help, have a great weekend!
Great Tutorial I’m 53 and my face is starting to drop, every little helps you look incredible. One thing the music drives me crazy I kept pausing because I thought some body was whistling in the house.
Hi Lisa, this was my very 1st video. We no longer put music in the beauty videos. I appreciate your constructive comment and I actually made a re-vamped video with a bit more info on hooded eye makeup and no music... here it is if you want to see it ua-cam.com/video/p7GD8jGOsf0/v-deo.html
Hi, I certainly want to keep making videos for you and my other subscribers. Although we're older I enjoy sharing my tips to help us older faces have a great glow and emphasis our features, Heather
Wow, thank you for this tutorial, I've been making this "don't" mistake in recent years. I'm looking forward to using the "do" technique soon. BTW, I liked the background music/whistling - to each their own opinion on that 😁
Thanks so much MsFiftyPlus! We all get into habits that may not serve us anymore. I had a makeup artist show me I was doing things wrong. I thought the whistling music was OK too but on different items like tablets and phones it's much louder so we listened to the comments and dropped all music from our beauty videos. I some cases it was drowning out my voice. Thanks so much for sharing, it means a lot, Heather
Wow!! You look amazing!!!! I am 53 and completely get what you are doing and why. I learned a lot too. Especially how to use the highlighterI have in my makeup drawer the sales clerk said I needed. And I just couldn't figure it out. Now I do.Thank you!!!!
Hello from Canada! Wonderful tutorial 👍 I'm a new sub! My question is..and forgive me if you've already been asked this...I have extreme "crepe" on eyelids.. I can no longer use the frosted eyeshadow that I've used all my life. ☹ So I just stopped wearing eyeshadow.. I'm assuming u r using a matte eyeshadow? Do u have any videos or tips on crepey skin? ✌💟 P.s.. Hi Hurricane! 🐶
Hi back from Canada, yes I'm Canadian too! Thanks so much for subbing, it means a lot! I gave up on frosted eyeshadow years ago. It's a matte look that looks more natural. My eyes aren't too crepey so I haven't done a video on that yet. I would suggest something similar to what I said to Danelle, using no eyeliner and putting a matte beige/cream eyeshadow on the lid and continue with a lighter brown (instead of purple) matte eyeshadow that swooshes out at the sides of the eyes to give the downturn an upswing. Don't use too much eyeshadow and not too dark and blend it upwards with your fingers so it doesn't look fake. Take a look from a bit of a distance (as usually people that look at you are) and you will probably see your eyes more upturned and the beige eyeshadow hides some of the crepeyness. Let me know if it works for you. Heather
I'm a new subscriber. Good video. I did find the whistling noise/song annoying and distracting. You are great in your own, no music accompaniment necessary.
Hi Rachel, Thanks for subbing and liking the video. This was my very first beauty video and we thought the music would be a great touch... boy were we wrong :( Anyway live and learn. I just put out a new fashion video on the channel with fashion ideas for Fall with no background music at all, so I'm listening, thanks for the honest feedback. here's the fashion one in case you missed it ua-cam.com/video/CJLZ7Bzg850/v-deo.html Heather
First video of you I’ve watched. I’m 54 and a former model with blonde hair and gray eyes. It was nice to confirm that I’m doing my eyes correctly. Not easy getting old. Looking forward to the next video💕
So glad you enjoyed the video. I have done over 150 videos since this one, if you want to see any of them they are here. Have a wonderful holiday season Linda! ua-cam.com/channels/9qvp__gu8s1B4OCM5O9YRQ.htmlvideos
We agree with you Joan. We had many tell us and since this was my very 1st video we learned and now no longer have background music in any newer beauty videos. Thanks for the constructive comment, Heather
Hi, I'm 61 too, and my eyes ayre really hooded. I am even thinking about surgery. I NEVER put eye liner because it makes my eyes look smaller and I never put make up under the eye. Very important are also the eye brows. My stepdaughter is "une esthéticienne" with lots of diploma's and second price of Brittany. She gives me very good advise. I cut my hair short ; and I think you should cut yours too, makes many years younger ! Sorry for my bad English. Kind greetings from France !
I don't know if that is your photo in your thumbnail but if it is, you are gorgeous! We each have decisions to be made on our look, carefully consider the surgery but if you feel it is best for you, go for it! If that is your short hair it's fabulous for your look. So happy the world of UA-cam allows us to communicate, best wishes! Heather
Marie, I am 63 and I agree with both of your suggestions. She also picked her best eye for the makeup she liked best. I don't think she blended her liner well. There is a little fatty deposit under her eye brow right by the nose. She totally neglected to address that and just stopped with the purple which emphasizes it. At the end she says "same pose" but the problem is different eyes. The cat eye is her droopiest eye...cheater...😜. I don't like to criticize, but I feel on a tutorial, the public needs to hear a differing opinion if there is one.
New sub, I'm 58 and have very hooded eyes. Brown makes me look like I have dirty eyelids so what color should a brown eyed person wear? I love pinks and greens but I'm not sure they are good for the hoods? I love your yorkie! I'm a dog lover also and the puppy kisses didn't bother me at all.
Hi Charlotte, Have you tried a soft brown (almost a dark beige)? Watch out for anything that has red undertones in it though. I suggest you go to a drugstore or mall makeup counter and have them apply this on your eyes before you buy. If the brown is too dark it will look like dirty eyelids. My little Yorkie was in a cage for 4 months before we rescued him, he's forever giving kisses LOL, Heather
Glad for your video. You have a great tutorial and contagious energy!! I too am 61 and soon to be 62. Makeup is so much fun. Perhaps I will begin wearing it again.
So glad you enjoyed it. BTW this was my very 1st video and I've done dozens since. Here's my channel page in case you want to catch up on some of them ua-cam.com/channels/9qvp__gu8s1B4OCM5O9YRQ.htmlvideos
You just made my night. You are so adorable, and happy - and beautiful. Thank you. I needed this and just subscribed. Have a blessed happy and healthy new year! : - )
Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know you are enjoying the videos and subbed! It means a lot and inspires me to keep on making the videos. All the best back to you with blessings for an amazing 2018 and beyond! Heather
Hi Paula, if you like our little Yorkie we did a short video on the day in the life of him. It was just made to put a smile on people's faces. I'll include a link at the end of this video if you want to see it ua-cam.com/video/0bQFtf8v-5Q/v-deo.html
Thank you so much! I have made these exact mistakes with my older droop eyes. I prefer calling them hoods. You have beautiful eyes, and I love the cute little Hurricane! Such great help, thank you so much!
I have just finished watching the video and I loved it. We all need something for us older women. I am going to share it with my friends in my women's group TY
Absolutely, new videos on this channel every Friday around 12:30 pm EST and our other channel for travel, fun, home decor, inspiration ua-cam.com/users/awesomeover50inspiration every Tuesday around 4:30 pm EST. Enjoy! (if you subscribe don't forget to click on the bell to be notified of the new ones) So glad you find them inspirational and helpful- Heather
My eyes are so hooded that no one ever sees the crease. Hmmm .... This was interesting, but I agree that no music would be better than listening to this looped "cheery" music over and over. Thanks. :)
Hi Lynda, I agree , this was our first video and we now don't put background music in our beauty videos thanks to constructive comments like yours. Heather
I know, this was my first video and we thought it would be a nice touch...wrong! We no longer put up beauty videos with music in the background, thanks so the constructive comment, Heather
Great first video! I am 61, too, so I look forward to your videos. Can't wait for you to mention favorite products and brands. Thank you for not using music in the future. Much love.
Lovely video, I stumbled across this. I'm so happy I found this, I quit wearing make up because of my age. I can't wear any longer make up like I did in my 20's and 30's and 40's. I'm 65 and would love to wear make up again. I hope to see more videos for make up for the whole face. Thank you for publishing your video
I have a new beginner or returning to makeup video coming up this month with just 8 makeup products. If you subscribe and click on the bell you will see it for sure. All the best with your new natural look makeup and enhancing your features. Heather
Thank you very much for this video - I am almost the same age as you, and it is a relief to see someone my age do a REALISTIC makeover, taking a NORMAL amount of time and not using hundreds of products - very manageable! Many good tips indeed! I just have one wish - perhaps a little more lighting in the next one? I really want to be able to see exactly what you do, and how you do it, but the low light makes it a little hard. Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to let me know you enjoyed the video plus the constructive comment about the lighting. I just started doing these videos in the Summer so I'm still learning. Perhaps we need another light, I'll look into it, thanks so much! Heather
No. No. No. Stop looking at yourself years ago, you are are a new woman older wiser and mature. Less is more. Gograceful. Think Grace Kelly start a new trend.
I actually agree with you! I was trying to show how I could magically help upturn my droopy eyes, similar to how they looked before they drooped. I love your comment!!! No facelifts or needles for me. Going old gracefully is what's it's all about (besides having fun and sharing love) Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with our community. You're so right!!! Heather
I LOVE watching you, perhaps because you validate the way I do my make-up. I do powder my lashes, curl and mascara with lashes that are naturally long and a big lid. Shadows that can be used wet or dry are a fav of mine and I lay the side of my eyeliner brush at the end of my eyeliner line for a flare. At 62 that gives me a nice "cat". For all the women who say they don't like make-up or using It, they NEED to watch your videos. Always thorough and well done, growing older gracefully, not agefully lolol😙👌 Make-up at our age makes us look younger, evens out skin tone, our skin looks brighter, and it's a good thing to take pride in the way we look!
Hi everyone, here is a link to my blog where you can find many of my makeup products. We do make a small amount if you get something so thanks so much for that!

Soooo helpful. Thank you for keeping it real. Excellent tutorial for real hooded eye issues.
Awesome over 50 Wow, you look wonderful! Thanks for the lesson!
Awesome over 5
Thank you ! Remarkable! I tried it & what a difference! By the way I LOVEyour little Yorkshire Terrier!🐶❤️
Hi Jacqueline, so glad it worked for you! By the way, we did a short video on a day in the life of our little Yorkie, it was just made to put a smile on people's faces. If you want to see it , here it is ua-cam.com/video/0bQFtf8v-5Q/v-deo.html
Why is anybody down voting this woman’s video? It’s really hard for women over 65 as it is and she’s putting herself out there and doing her best get some freaking manners
Probably because of the frickin whistling music through this ENTIRE THING 😨
Her video is great, only the music is annoying, and as she acknowledged, live and learn. She's listened to people's opinions, and she's changing future videos.
No doubt! A bunch of hateful losers!
Bunny Berry Beauty Some people just down thumb everything - even stuff they like. I wouldn’t put too much weight into that. ✌️
Meh, even adorable kitty videos get down voted by people...with no souls. Guess we should pray for them
I’m 67 and I remember that iconic photo from ALL the magazines. I still get tingles when I see it now. You are just as breathtaking now as you were then. Your photo symbolizes a whole generation of young teens and 20s and now you are still a beauty icon for my generation. You’re sweet too. Keep bringing us more lessons like when you started your career in beauty. Thank you, Heather. I’ve been a subscriber to your channel for a very long time.
Thanks so much for your kind words and being a supporter of my videos for such a long time. Very much appreciated!
Es verdad ❤️🇦🇷
FINALLY!!! Someone actually with hooded eyes doing a makeup tutorial for hooded eyes. You are stunning, before and after. I absolutely love your technique.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment. You just made my day!
Eres especial 💯❤️🇦🇷
I got so much out of this video. I am 69 and don’t look too bad but I have the hooded eye too. I was doing a lot of the “donts “. You have opened my eyes😅
I just watched this video and it made so much sense--I'm 67 now and I don't even bother trying to do makeup on my eyes to address the droopiness because nothing seems to make a difference. But I'm going to try doing exactly what you did in this video because wow, what a difference between the
"do" and the "don't" eye. Thanks!
Hope it works well for you and thanks for the kind comment
I'm not sure how this ended on my video list, but I'm sure glad it did. Thank you so much ... I'm loving the hints!
And it's so great to see a beautiful mature woman that's not plastic! Absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know you love the hints. I'm glad I ended up on your video list too!
Hello I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness prosperity, love ❤and peace all over the world🌏.

I'm Engineer Frank William from Nashville Tennessee, where are you from?💙🌹
At last a good tutorial for hooded, crepey eyes from someone who actually has these problems. I'm so sick of hooded eye tutorials from 30 and 40 year olds who don't have hooded eyes. Thanks very much. :) BTW, you look amazing for 61.
Hi Melanie, thanks for the comment. I totally agree that the video world needed someone who works with makeup artists and her own mature look for video tutorials. My eyes have certainly changed since I was in my 30's & 40's. Thanks for saying that about my age. There is a magic of makeup for sure and soon I'll get into my skin care regime. i'm so glad you're finding these videos useful, that makes my day!, Heather
Yes Melanie at last a tutorial from someone who has this problem and i can def agree about the do and the dont. Im experiencing the drooping eyelid at 66 as said, only looks good whilst youve got your eyes wide open and where is it once you relax lol. I to am sick of seeing these tutorials from 30 to 40 yr olds who dont have hooded eyes
Glad you found the video helpful Susan. I didn't have hooded eyes when I was younger and had to adapt to them as I aged. Hope these videos help us embrace our mature looks and give a little lift with the magic of makeup. Heather
She's 61???????????????????????????????? DAMN!!!
Melanie Maguire I love you have your long hair,when I was in twenties my hubby said I was to old for long hair so I got it chopped,then had it past shoulders ever since,it's long now but have alopecia and it's thinned,but I won't chop it,just cut fringe,why should we cut our hair because we are older,xxx
I've been telling my daughter for years that using eye liner in the waterline is just cutting out visual real estate around the eye, making it look more closed up & smaller. She's finally seen the light after watching this video. Thanks for "opening her eyes", and for giving me some tips to get my eyes to look a bit younger & less droopy!
So glad to help both generations!
Mucha luz 💯❤️🇦🇷
Love love love fingers, no high brand, no fancy brushes, real life for real ladies
My fingers are always clean and there when I need them LOL, Heather
Amen
yes, BUT fingers pull harder on tender skin around the eyes. I found that a good soft brush is kinder (69 and going strong)
Sunny Rose Marie keeping it real!
Good video. Guess I'm done with the cat eye.
Great tips Heather! As a professional makeup artists (worked with the biggest names in the biz: models, photographers, designers, etc.) I have a few tips for you as well dear. Don't pump your mascara (it pumps air into the tube and makes your mascara go bad quicker) just twirl the wand around inside the tube and then pull it out and apply. Warm toned eye shadows are also great for your eye color and skin tone. Try some taupe, soft neutral browns, and cinnamon..they will make your own eye color really pop!!! Cheers, M.
Thanks Max, I really appreciate your input. I no longer pump my mascara. This was my 1st video and I have done dozens since. Congrats on all your achievements and thanks for the constructive comment.
You are the BEST! Thank you SO much - I feel attractive for the first time in decades! Your tutorial was exactly what I needed. Clear instructions, a cheerful attitude...I can’t wait to watch more of your tutorials! 💖💕💖💕
Thanks so much Jean. So glad my tutorial helped and thanks so much for watching more! Much appreciated!

I also used to model in my early 20's and even taught make-up at a modeling studio here in Cleveland, OH! Now, at almost 60, I really appreciated this video refresher! ... and believe me, my 'droopy' (I mean 'mature' eyes) needed this. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Things seem to be changing daily in the makeup world. So glad you enjoyed this refresher course Deborah!

Hi Heather, this is just what I needed! You are an inspiration to all of us ladies who can't afford or choose not to mess with what God gave us except for a little non permanent fix! Thanks...Janine😊
You are so welcome Janine, so glad you're trying the non permanent fix!
Hi
I'm in my mid 50's and have recently noticed that I need to adjust my makeup techniques... this was really helpful. Thank you! Oh, and you look amazing with or without makeup! Relaxed and happy, and that's always beautiful.
I agree, the inner happiness is the magic glow, Heather

Thank you so much.ive never wore make up til the last.im 59 and i definitely need it now!you absolutely beautibul and i can relate to your video.thanks for the help.im struggling w/my eyebrows and hope you have a video on that.
I do have a video on that Stephanie, here is a video for you to watch ua-cam.com/video/0jLFbHjfXYo/v-deo.html
You are a wonderful and positive makeup instructor! You took the time to show us the technique to open up an eye. But, you also showed us techniques with your other eye that many of us use that are not helpful and why. That was very important as many of us probably use the same ineffective techniques over and over again and then wonder why we don’t look better.
You took much of the picky criticism from viewers (in my opinion) so well and in stride. It made you not only a beautiful person on the outside but a beautiful person on the inside. So, if we were all paying attention, you taught us more than just about eye makeup. 🌺
Thanks Swan Lake (not sure if you're named after the ballet, but I just saw it a few months ago..it was amazing!) Anyway, thank you so much for your uplifting comment, it's people like you who inspire us to keep on making videos! Heather
As a lady who is hopeless at eye makeup this is an informative tutorial without the usual wittering. I so appreciate your time.
Thanks so much for letting me know you appreciated the video, it means a lot! Heather

The difference between your two eyes is amazing. I also have "hooded lids" Thanks so much for the tips, can't wait to try them!
You're so welcome, I hope it helps, Heather
d sipe, I have one hooded eye so the difference between my two eyes is even more dramatic than Heather's. A makeup artist in a department store once asked me if I had had a stroke and that was when I was only in my 50's. After seeing that Christy Turlington also has two very different eyes, I finally accepted it and am okay with it.
A little tip I learned for my downturned, hooded eyes is to only go halfway in when lining the bottom of your eye. So start at the outside just like you did but only bring it to the center of your pupils maybe just a tad further it keeps the eye nice an opened without closing it back up by bringing the liner to the corner this is what I do on the bottom lid.
Thanks for the tips, I'm going to try that out, this is a place where we can share and I hope others see the post. All the best, Heather
Migraine Mama N
Migraine Mama - Yes, that's what I do! It makes all the difference... :-)
@Just Me A little blush and eyebrow fill in never hurts anyone, but does make one look better and feel better. I'm 72 and I never wear foundation or highlighters, but I use good cleansing and moisturizers. It just makes ones day to start out looking like you care enough about yourself to show it. Great video.
Lovely to find you as I'm trying to correct a lot of chemo/cancer damage to my 51 yr old skin, including similar eyes. The best part is your personality and I look forward to future videos.
Oh Carol, I hope my videos help. I don't know you personally but I feel so connected to everyone in this community. I know it's a journey with what you're going through. Your post touched my heart and I will keep making videos and I hope I can bring a smile, some tips and best wishes to you for a wonderful future, Heather
Thanks for those tips! I definitely see a difference with your technique! I'm 46 and stopped wearing eyeliner because it would often end up on my upper lid. Your eyes look great with eyeliner! You are gorgeous (then and now)...
People please stop saying that a woman looks good for her "age" it really doesn't sound nice. Let's lift each other up no matter what our ages.
Oh please! I'm 56 and when someone tells me I look good for my age, do you think I get angry because it sounds insensitive? I'm thankful someone even NOTICES!
Once you've done the miles, honey, you'll be GLAD when someone mentions how great you look for your age.
@@happyblue2792 that's your opinion. If you're so insecure about who you are that youre "grateful" because someone said you look good for an old lady ( that's exactly what it means ) than I feel sorry for you . Have a wonderful day
@@happyblue2792 you sound pathetic and angry. Jptab was simply saying that we should compliment people period and not add " for your age" at the end of it. If you're so stupid you don't get that. By the way jptab you are angelic looking wow.
You're gorgeous jptab. Do you model? I agree with that you said. I think it's rude that people add for your age . Its like a backhanded compliment. " You don't sweat much for a fat person" lmao
Everyone, why jump all over @Bobby Joe Williams If she's grateful and pleased at compliments, why shouldn't she enjoy them?
If someone compliments you (however it's worded) and you feel complimented, then I call that a positive thing. It's just like an insult that misses its mark: if someone insults you and you don't feel insulted, it has failed its mission to make you feel small. It's like it never happened. Disparaging a compliment can erase the positivity of it, rendering it non-existent as well. Why do that to anyone?
You should twist your mascara, because pumping gets air in it, and dries it out faster.
Thanks Pamela, another subscriber mentioned this too, appreciate the tip, thanks, Heather
That was driving me crazy! It gets more bacteria into the product as well as drying it out. 🙂
This is correct.. pumping air into your mascara does dry it out faster!
You're using powdered eye shadow. Someone told me powdered shadow clumps (for the hooded eyes) and that the cream is better; moisturizing non-clumping. What do you think? Did you use liner on the bottom lid on the "do" eye or only the shadow?
BTW the cuteness is soo cute!
Karyn She started with a white pencil on the waterline.
I think dark liner on the lower lash line makes older women look even older. It also makes your eyes look smaller. It just seems to be a trend that everyone does. (pumping the mascara wand into the tube adds air & shortens the life of the mascara)
Thanks, I no longer pump my mascara. I agree on the black eyeliner now too. this is an older video

I love your happy energy and the makeup. Easy-peasy for us older ladies with hooded eyes. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome! So glad you enjoyed it!!
Hello nice to meet you
Wow!...I am amazed at the difference your makeup techniques made! Just found your channel and can't wait to watch all your videos. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for the inspiring comment Cindie, it encourages me to keep on making videos, Heather
Hello Cindie how are you doing today my dear friend and fan
Love your energy! And your little dog is adorable
Great makeup tips. I didn’t realize differences like that until you did both eyes. Thanks. I’m going to try it now!
All the best with it, thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the video!
I think you give great tips but if possible, get rid of the music in the background.
I agree Ann, all the new videos have the music softened. This was my first beauty video and we can't edit the music unless we drop the video and re-submit it, which would be like starting over with it. Oh well, as they say, live and learn, Heather
at least some less zippy music! maybe something light and spa feeling:)
I liked your music
Ann Burt I think it was the whistle sounds that were the most bothersome. Hooded eyes are sad to behold; less cheerful music would be more appropriate. I'd say lol but it really isn't so funny. Lol.
We decided on no more background music on the beauty videos from now on. Hooded eyes are sad to see growing on us mature women but the magic of a bit of makeup does help, Heather
You are amazing and so real in every way. I am 50 and do not look as well as you do. I can't say I hope to look as good as you at your age but I sure can try to imitate your enthusiasm and your realism. You are just being you and that is so appealing without makeup. Thank so much for your video and you are as beautiful as you were when you were younger because you are authentic. Many blessings.
Thanks so much for the kind words, much appreciated Christine.
Fabulous, I to have hooded eyes, I did have surgery 10 years ago to try and correct and it helped but now they're back and this tutorial will definitely change the way I apply my eye makeup. Loving little Hurricane who looks just like my little Yorkie Jack.
Hi Denise, so sorry to hear that your hooded eyes are back. The good news is, however, that I just filmed an updated Hooded eyes video and it should be live by 6 p.m. EST time today, Friday. Hope the new one is easier to follow (no whistling music and I just do one eye) All the best with it, by the way we did a short video on the day in the life of our little Yorkie. It was just made to put a smile on people's faces. You might see some similarities with little Jack! Here it is if you want to see it ua-cam.com/video/0bQFtf8v-5Q/v-deo.html
I have subscribed and will follow this for droopy eyes, although I do not usually do well with make-up. Thank you for all your tips. I have to say though Hurricane sure is cute and I was not expecting him to pop-up. I have two little rescue dogs and they are my cute factor but Hurricane is lovely. Thank you. PS What a beautiful young model you were and a beautiful 61 yr old also. I am 62 and it is only now my old friends tell be how beautiful I was when 17 or so...lol. Why did they not tell me then when I needed the confidence? - all the best.
Hi Ria and thanks so much for sharing.. Perhaps they were jealous when they were younger and have now grown out of it. Dogs give so much unconditional love and I'm so glad you let us know about the 2 rescues. Poor little Hurricane was in a cage for months before we found him. That's why he always has 400 kisses LOL. Take your time with the makeup. Put the eyeshadow on lightly at first and then increase the shading if you want to. Thanks so much for subscribing and welcome!
Great tutorial... I LOVED the cuteness factor too-- precious! 💜
Thanks DancinDeborah, everyone needs some kind of cuteness factor in their life, glad you enjoyed the tutorial and my little Yorkie! Heather
Hello
Heather has a very winning personality.
Absoulutely love your video and so pleased to learn these techniques. I'd stopped wearing eyeshadow for ages but you've inspired me to try again. TFS!
I'm so glad that you let me know. You just made my day Laura!
Loved your video on droopy eyes. I am 75 years old and still wear eye makeup if I go out even to get groceries. I always use brown/beige instead of mauve/pink and if I was going out for an evening I add mauve on top of the brown on the outside corner to brighten things up. I never wear eyeliner at the bottom but I do on the top to open up my eye and I use it like you do and of course mascara is the finishing touch. I will look into using hilighter in the future. Thank you for being down to earth and showing the before and the after.
You are so welcome Francine. Truth be told I won't go out grocery shopping without a little enhancing with makeup either. You are an inspiration at 75 that we all can feel awesome and we're never to old to learn how to make ourselves better. Thanks so much for sharing and keep on rocking those 70s for us!!
Hello
You do have beautiful eyes and a great personality to have a beautiful channel. I am sure you have a lot to share to keep looking your best. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks so much Rosemary, your kind words help me continue to make videos. It's actually a labor of love now as I just started on this channel a few weeks ago and the comments like yours are so inspirational for me to keep going, Heather
Hello nice to meet you
I understand what your saying. You still look really pretty with the don't eye, though
Hi there! I just found you, and couldn't be happier! Great advice! And I just love that little pup!
Thanks so much for letting me know you enjoyed the video Lynne. It encourages us to keep on making more videos. By the way, we did a short video on the day in the life of our little Yorkie, it was just made to put a smile on people's faces, I'll put a link to it at the end of this comment if you want to see it, Heather ua-cam.com/video/0bQFtf8v-5Q/v-deo.html
Lynne Wolfe will
Awesome over 50 of
You are beautiful and I love your cheerful attitude. You have helped to make me feel more positive about my own droopy eyes!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment Martina and I'm so glad to help!
Thank you for all these wonderful tips. Your nail polish is absolutely beautiful 😍
You are so welcome, so glad you enjoyed the tips!
Fun video 😊 just a tip - once opened, it's best not to pump your mascara wand. Pumping forces bacteria caught in air as you pump. Once you shut wand back inside ... wellll 😨
Not pumping wand also helps to prevent premature drying up of tube. What is your favorite mascara btw? 👄💜💜
Hey Carolyn, thanks so much for the info. What you say makes perfect sense! Maybe that's why my mascara dries up so quickly. I'm working on getting the rights to mention the trademarked names of the products I'm using. I can't mention them now, but plan to in the future, sorry about that, Heather
Carolyn Campbell yes I was quite surprised to see her do that
+Awesome over 50 You can mention any brand you want. If you're talking about monetary compensation, that still doesn't prevent naming names.
Thanks Carolyn, appreciate your input. It may never happen, but many companies are clamping down on copyrights & trademarks. I'd be heartbroken if I had to take my videos down or edit them so much they didn't make sense. I am looking further into this though, thanks, Heather
Carolyn Campbell I heard of that before and it makes sense
WoW. I never realized I have hooded eyes. This was quite EyE opening!!! Thank you
Do you find powder eyeshadow dries and crepes your eyes?
I find that powdered eyeshadow is so much better than creams. The powders stay put longer.I don't find them drying, just like foundation most have some kind of moisturizer in them. Sometimes if it crepes a bit I can use my fingers and smooth it out if it's a long day or a damp tissue to smooth. Sure you're taking some off but it looks so much better. I also at all costs put my makeup on last before I leave the house, and extra hour or 2 helps to keep it looking fresh, Heather
I love your videos! I’m going to try eye make-up again now. I had completely given up!
All the best with the tips Susan!
The difference between your eyes, when only one is done, is amazing!!! You've done it so well!!!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment Alexandra, much appreciated.
Thanks, I over 50 too and I like playing with makeup. Funny because when I was in my 20s and 30s I didn't have time.
This IS our time. Bill and I have a saying at our age LIFE STARTS NOW, Heather
Would you consider doing a tutorial for women who wear glasses and eye makeup? New subscriber!
I don't wear glasses but I might just buy a pair without lenses and practice an eye makeup look. If I think the video is good I will certainly upload it
Awesome over 50 thank you I would appreciate that! This makeup look has been my kryptonite!
I am going to ask makeup artists and others who wear glasses before I try the tutorial, but I'm on it!, Heather
Awesome over 50 thank you! I am so excited about this and I am sure a lot of eye glasses, makeup wearing women will be as well!💄🤓
Getting the research now with makeup artists and my eye glass wearing friends, could be a few weeks though until I get it all together, since I want to do it right.
I followed your techniques for eyeshadow for hooded eyes. It looks good. I had to remind myself not to lift my eyebrows when putting it on because then when I relax, shadow is in the wrong place. Thanks. I have some vertical lip lines, what do you know about treating them without injections which I can't afford. ??? My favorite part of the video? Hurricane! Great name for a terrier. So cute.
Hi Connie, I either use a collagen cream or coconut oil above my lips every night. (collagen cream if you don't have 2 hours before bed to let the coconut oil set in. ) I will put a link at the bottom of this comment to what I use and where to get it (just scroll down the page to get the info and links) I've never had injections and don't plan to ever get them so consistency of application every night is the key. It's also never too late to start. Little Hurricane also has a short video on this channel on the day in the life of him. It was simply made to put a smile on people's faces. Here is the page on my blog for the cream and oil, hope this helps www.awesomeover50.com/beauty/sharing-my-top-10-secrets-to-keeping-a-more-youthful-look/
You are the best thing ever- I'm 46 now and starting to droop, but I'm not too much into complicated makeup. THIS I can follow easy. Thanks so much.
Also- as you deserve to hear this, you're ridiculously appealing to watch! I hope your channel goes far. ☺️
Thanks for the encouraging comment, it really inspires me to keep on making videos. Heather
Aww, thanks so much, you just made my day!!! Heather
Loved this video. You gave tips that I definitely need! Love little Hurricane, too!
Hi, so glad you enjoyed the video and tips. We did a video on the day in the life of little Hurricane. It was just made to put a smile on peoples faces in this sometimes crazy world. Here it is if you want to see it ua-cam.com/video/0bQFtf8v-5Q/v-deo.html
This is brilliant video but could you please loose the background music it is really annoying xxx
Thanks Anette, we are thankful for your constructive comment on the music and the last 2 videos are music free in the background. We just started doing videos and can't remove from this one since we'll lose our views but we are fixing it moving forward, thanks, Heather
Anette Howgate wah 😥
She 61 years old and made her own UA-cam video. It to music bothered you that much why don’t you find some non-copyrighted music that you think would be good and send her a file and teach her how to do it?
Music is distracting.
Anette Howgate looks great my only criticism would be to skip the liner under the eye it looked so much better without
You remain an incredibly beautiful woman.
Aww, thanks so much! Heather

Thanks for shadowing us the difference!! You look amazing!❤️ love your dog!🥰
Thanks for taking the time to let me know!
Really good tips would you please do under eye concealer for dark circles thank you so much 😊
Hi Karen Kimberly . You got it! I will do a video next week on a quick powder foundation and include how I apply concealer to my dark circles and also my imperfection spots. Hope this helps and thanks so much for your interest
Hi love your video, but I have hooded eyes and cannot put highlighter that far down because it highlights the hood,,
Hi Monica Lemmer. Look in the mirror and try a bright awake look with your eyes. Do you see an area on the lid where you could put a natural beige light eye shadow? Make sure it's just a bit just above the retina of the eye and that's all. I hope it works for you. It will just give you the little bit of brightness for when you're the most expressive during conversations. I hope this helps. Heather
I just completed a new video for a light, natural foundation coverage that includes hiding my dark circles at ua-cam.com/video/fuenm7rHcDM/v-deo.html Hope you can use some of the tips Karen, and I hope it helps, Heather
In addition to addressing dark under eye pigment, could you also address loss of volume under the eyes? I’ve had dark circles my whole life. I’ve found the industrial-strength ;) concealers that address that issue. What I can’t seem to find is a way to address the loss of volume that accentuates that issue further. Concealer only covers the dark pigment - not the loss of volume. Any ideas? Thanks for the fun videos!
Ahhhh, finally someone I can relate to! You are AWESOME! i just turned 57 so I am in NEED of your wonderful tips! (and realism!) Love you! Keep it up! Very useful information!
Thanks so much for your encouraging comment Lori. It's women like you who inspire me to keep making these videos. Heather
Hello beautiful Lori it's my pleasure to meet you
I really can see the difference. I like your personality too. Finished beautiful. Please put beautiful music. That whistleing is so annoining. Love your hair colour
So sorry about the music. This was my very 1st video and I no longer put music in my beauty videos. Thanks for the lovely compliments and constructive comment about the music Linda
You are just lovely! And, truly genuine. Thank you for this tutorial. At 58, having given up on eyeshadow and eyeliner many years ago, I threw away a lot of my collection. Since I saw this two days ago I have been "practicing" with what I still have. As I said, practicing, but what fun!! You and your tutorial are heaven sent for this woman.
Wow, you just made my day! Always remember to start out lightly with the technique, maybe even for-go the liner at first. We just want to enhance your beautiful eyes with the magic of makeup. You sound like a beautiful soul and I want that twinkle in your eyes to just be enhanced for the natural "you". Heather
Success! Two days in a row now! I bought an inexpensive eyeshadow palette and have had some fun with it. ( I had bought a single color that has a formula for that is quite laughable for crepey lids.) The first day was amazing; it looked like I had my eyes "done." I kept going back to the mirror to see if I was seeing things. No eyeliner for now. Thank you for that tip. ;) My big mistake was putting the eyeshadow too low but just a little higher it's, well, like magic.
I'm so happy for you! You sound like you're getting the hang of things. I laughed out loud when I read how you kept going back to the mirror to "see if you were seeing things". You sound like a beautiful person on the inside and a little magic of makeup is just enhancing your glow on the outside, Heather
Swoosh is the technical term
Love this so much. I gave up years ago wearing eye shadow because of the hooded eyes I have. Thank you
Don't ever pump your mascara bottle! Your pumping air into it and dry it out before it's time. Good technique for hooded eyes!
Thanks for the tip! I no longer pump my mascara Ingrid!
Hi
Thanks for this video. I am 54 and have rarely used makeup over the years but as I have gotten into my 50's and now play in a band I feel the need to do a little something to my "look" (whatever that is). Thanks for the video, it helps.
So glad I could help and that's awesome that you're in a band!! I'm doing a new eye makeup video that will be up tonight Friday). It's new tips and updates on my application. It's part of a 5 part series and I'll also do videos on lips, brows, foundation and contouring. I hope they help, have a great weekend!
Great information and charming presentation! Glad I found you!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment Robyn!
Great Tutorial I’m 53 and my face is starting to drop, every little helps you look incredible. One thing the music drives me crazy I kept pausing because I thought some body was whistling in the house.
Hi Lisa, this was my very 1st video. We no longer put music in the beauty videos. I appreciate your constructive comment and I actually made a re-vamped video with a bit more info on hooded eye makeup and no music... here it is if you want to see it ua-cam.com/video/p7GD8jGOsf0/v-deo.html
really fun video - we need more good tips for older faces. hope you stay on board a while here
Hi, I certainly want to keep making videos for you and my other subscribers. Although we're older I enjoy sharing my tips to help us older faces have a great glow and emphasis our features, Heather
Wow, thank you for this tutorial, I've been making this "don't" mistake in recent years. I'm looking forward to using the "do" technique soon. BTW, I liked the background music/whistling - to each their own opinion on that 😁
Thanks so much MsFiftyPlus! We all get into habits that may not serve us anymore. I had a makeup artist show me I was doing things wrong. I thought the whistling music was OK too but on different items like tablets and phones it's much louder so we listened to the comments and dropped all music from our beauty videos. I some cases it was drowning out my voice. Thanks so much for sharing, it means a lot, Heather
You are inspiring and it’s good to see a mature woman passionate about sharing experiences with us. I’m 56 and I appreciate your post
Thank you so much for letting me know Diana. It's comments like yours that inspire me to keep making these videos, Heather
Wow!! You look amazing!!!! I am 53 and completely get what you are doing and why. I learned a lot too. Especially how to use the highlighterI have in my makeup drawer the sales clerk said I needed. And I just couldn't figure it out. Now I do.Thank you!!!!
That's great Kathleen! Glad to hear the tips are working for you! Heather
The cat eye side looks too harsh. She is right. Great to see a mature women making herself look better with great eye make up.
Thanks. I was disappointed when I couldn't do a cat-eye anymore but actually I like this more mature look better now, Heather
Hello from Canada! Wonderful tutorial 👍
I'm a new sub! My question is..and forgive me if you've already been asked this...I have extreme "crepe" on eyelids.. I can no longer use the frosted eyeshadow that I've used all my life. ☹
So I just stopped wearing eyeshadow.. I'm assuming u r using a matte eyeshadow?
Do u have any videos or tips on crepey skin?
✌💟
P.s.. Hi Hurricane! 🐶
Hi back from Canada, yes I'm Canadian too! Thanks so much for subbing, it means a lot! I gave up on frosted eyeshadow years ago. It's a matte look that looks more natural. My eyes aren't too crepey so I haven't done a video on that yet. I would suggest something similar to what I said to Danelle, using no eyeliner and putting a matte beige/cream eyeshadow on the lid and continue with a lighter brown (instead of purple) matte eyeshadow that swooshes out at the sides of the eyes to give the downturn an upswing. Don't use too much eyeshadow and not too dark and blend it upwards with your fingers so it doesn't look fake. Take a look from a bit of a distance (as usually people that look at you are) and you will probably see your eyes more upturned and the beige eyeshadow hides some of the crepeyness. Let me know if it works for you. Heather
Awesome over 50
shoulda known u were 🇨🇦!!
I'm in Ottawa area.. thanks for the reply and will try your suggestions 👍
I'm a new subscriber. Good video. I did find the whistling noise/song annoying and distracting. You are great in your own, no music accompaniment necessary.
Hi Rachel, Thanks for subbing and liking the video. This was my very first beauty video and we thought the music would be a great touch... boy were we wrong :( Anyway live and learn. I just put out a new fashion video on the channel with fashion ideas for Fall with no background music at all, so I'm listening, thanks for the honest feedback. here's the fashion one in case you missed it ua-cam.com/video/CJLZ7Bzg850/v-deo.html Heather
First video of you I’ve watched. I’m 54 and a former model with blonde hair and gray eyes. It was nice to confirm that I’m doing my eyes correctly. Not easy getting old. Looking forward to the next video💕
So glad you enjoyed the video. I have done over 150 videos since this one, if you want to see any of them they are here. Have a wonderful holiday season Linda! ua-cam.com/channels/9qvp__gu8s1B4OCM5O9YRQ.htmlvideos
Hi
the best video yet, my fav!! so easy to follow!! you are amazing keep em coming!!
posted by christi..not gary :)
Thanks so much for the encouragement! I will keep 'em coming!
Love your ideas but need to drop the you tube music song
Thanks
We agree with you Joan. We had many tell us and since this was my very 1st video we learned and now no longer have background music in any newer beauty videos. Thanks for the constructive comment, Heather
Awesome over 50 you are great.
Hi, I'm 61 too, and my eyes ayre really hooded. I am even thinking about surgery. I NEVER put eye liner because it makes my eyes look smaller and I never put make up under the eye. Very important are also the eye brows. My stepdaughter is "une esthéticienne" with lots of diploma's and second price of Brittany. She gives me very good advise. I cut my hair short ; and I think you should cut yours too, makes many years younger ! Sorry for my bad English. Kind greetings from France !
I don't know if that is your photo in your thumbnail but if it is, you are gorgeous! We each have decisions to be made on our look, carefully consider the surgery but if you feel it is best for you, go for it! If that is your short hair it's fabulous for your look. So happy the world of UA-cam allows us to communicate, best wishes! Heather
Not everyone looks best in short hair. I for one...do not.
Marie, I am 63 and I agree with both of your suggestions. She also picked her best eye for the makeup she liked best. I don't think she blended her liner well. There is a little fatty deposit under her eye brow right by the nose. She totally neglected to address that and just stopped with the
purple which emphasizes it. At the end she says "same pose" but the problem is different eyes. The cat eye is her droopiest eye...cheater...😜. I don't like to criticize, but I feel on a tutorial, the public needs to hear a differing opinion if there is one.
Thank you , have a nice day : Marie in france !
Yes this is how I look today, thank you ! Have a nice day : Marie in France
New sub, I'm 58 and have very hooded eyes. Brown makes me look like I have dirty eyelids so what color should a brown eyed person wear? I love pinks and greens but I'm not sure they are good for the hoods?
I love your yorkie! I'm a dog lover also and the puppy kisses didn't bother me at all.
Hi Charlotte, Have you tried a soft brown (almost a dark beige)? Watch out for anything that has red undertones in it though. I suggest you go to a drugstore or mall makeup counter and have them apply this on your eyes before you buy. If the brown is too dark it will look like dirty eyelids.
My little Yorkie was in a cage for 4 months before we rescued him, he's forever giving kisses LOL, Heather
@@lovingourage green, mauve, blue
Try them out with a makeup person at a beauty makeup counter at a mall or department store. Those colors could work but they should be tried first
Glad for your video. You have a great tutorial and contagious energy!! I too am 61 and soon to be 62.
Makeup is so much fun. Perhaps I will begin wearing it again.
I find makeup fun too as long as I keep it natural looking. Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know that you enjoyed the video, Heather
this is so helpful and also you are a joy to learn from. Very laid back and easy-going. Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it. BTW this was my very 1st video and I've done dozens since. Here's my channel page in case you want to catch up on some of them ua-cam.com/channels/9qvp__gu8s1B4OCM5O9YRQ.htmlvideos
Nice job...you look great. Love your techneques.
Thanks so much Judy for such a lovely comment, it's people like you who inspire me to keep on making these videos. Heather
You just made my night. You are so adorable, and happy - and beautiful. Thank you. I needed this and just subscribed.
Have a blessed happy and healthy new year! : - )
Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know you are enjoying the videos and subbed! It means a lot and inspires me to keep on making the videos. All the best back to you with blessings for an amazing 2018 and beyond! Heather
Wow looks beautiful
It's definately a difference see the don't eye would prob. Be what I ended up with so glad you showed the difference. Awwww cute doggie
Hi Paula, if you like our little Yorkie we did a short video on the day in the life of him. It was just made to put a smile on people's faces. I'll include a link at the end of this video if you want to see it ua-cam.com/video/0bQFtf8v-5Q/v-deo.html
Thank you so much! I have made these exact mistakes with my older droop eyes. I prefer calling them hoods. You have beautiful eyes, and I love the cute little Hurricane! Such great help, thank you so much!
It's my pleasure Maren, glad you enjoyed the video and our little Hurricane, Heather
I have just finished watching the video and I loved it. We all need something for us older women. I am going to share it with my friends in my women's group TY
Thank you so much for sharing, I hope your friends can benefit from the tips.
@@lovingourage I hope you have more videos coming out soon
Absolutely, new videos on this channel every Friday around 12:30 pm EST and our other channel for travel, fun, home decor, inspiration ua-cam.com/users/awesomeover50inspiration every Tuesday around 4:30 pm EST. Enjoy! (if you subscribe don't forget to click on the bell to be notified of the new ones) So glad you find them inspirational and helpful- Heather
My eyes are so hooded that no one ever sees the crease. Hmmm .... This was interesting, but I agree that no music would be better than listening to this looped "cheery" music over and over. Thanks. :)
I agree about the music. This was my very 1st video and we no longer put music in our beauty videos. Thanks for your constructive comment.
@@lovingourage Thank you for answering my comment! I am sorry to have commented on an old vid. :)
I have the same Problem. I use wonderstripes. Try it.
You pumped air into the mascara tube. Your mascara will last longer if you don’t pump the wand.
You're so right April! I no longer pump the mascara, thanks, Heather
April Dunn. Totally agree with you. Pumping dries out the mascara.
Thank you for noticing that too!!
You kids these days are such techies! LOL
Good tip, where were you 45 years ago
I wish you didn't have the background noise that is suppose to be music. I want to concentrate on what you are saying.
Hi Lynda, I agree , this was our first video and we now don't put background music in our beauty videos thanks to constructive comments like yours. Heather
Wonderful teaching moments, wonderful tips, and ideas to follow or not , when doing your eye makeup, thank you!
You are so welcome!
You still look great, even without the eye make up!! Really.thanks for sharing the hints. I appreciate it.
You are so welcome and glad you enjoyed the tips.
@@lovingourageI'm 57 and embracing it!
please stop the background music. It is so annoying.
I know, this was my first video and we thought it would be a nice touch...wrong! We no longer put up beauty videos with music in the background, thanks so the constructive comment, Heather
Great first video! I am 61, too, so I look forward to your videos. Can't wait for you to mention favorite products and brands. Thank you for not using music in the future. Much love.
The product names and probably links too are coming, no more music in beauty videos!!! Heather
I don't mind background music, as long as it relaxing and very quiet almost like meditation music 😍😍
knitnpaint a
This is way more steps and layers than I want to fool with.
Never pump mascara
I certainly agree now, thanks, Heather
Lovely video, I stumbled across this. I'm so happy I found this, I quit wearing make up because of my age. I can't wear any longer make up like I did in my 20's and 30's and 40's. I'm 65 and would love to wear make up again. I hope to see more videos for make up for the whole face. Thank you for publishing your video
I have a new beginner or returning to makeup video coming up this month with just 8 makeup products. If you subscribe and click on the bell you will see it for sure. All the best with your new natural look makeup and enhancing your features. Heather
Thank you very much for this video - I am almost the same age as you, and it is a relief to see someone my age do a REALISTIC makeover, taking a NORMAL amount of time and not using hundreds of products - very manageable! Many good tips indeed! I just have one wish - perhaps a little more lighting in the next one? I really want to be able to see exactly what you do, and how you do it, but the low light makes it a little hard. Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to let me know you enjoyed the video plus the constructive comment about the lighting. I just started doing these videos in the Summer so I'm still learning. Perhaps we need another light, I'll look into it, thanks so much! Heather
Please don't with the music I can't even!
I know, this was my 1st video and I agree with you. Live and learn, my last beauty video has no music. Live and learn, thanks for the comment. Heather
Werd dot judges me cus I’m yung ok I’m just in 2 greed bich I’m 8 fuck oh I’m fucking werd

It's up beat and fun but should be a bit more in the background. About half as much loud.
Andrea Jenkins
HUH???
Liked your video! You look beautiful by the way. Thanks for the tips.
Way to much. Too time consuming. I need something quick and simple.
Hello Alisa
No. No. No. Stop looking at yourself years ago, you are are a new woman older wiser and mature. Less is more. Gograceful. Think Grace Kelly start a new trend.
I actually agree with you! I was trying to show how I could magically help upturn my droopy eyes, similar to how they looked before they drooped. I love your comment!!! No facelifts or needles for me. Going old gracefully is what's it's all about (besides having fun and sharing love) Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with our community. You're so right!!! Heather
I LOVE watching you, perhaps because you validate the way I do my make-up. I do powder my lashes, curl and mascara with lashes that are naturally long and a big lid. Shadows that can be used wet or dry are a fav of mine and I lay the side of my eyeliner brush at the end of my eyeliner line for a flare. At 62 that gives me a nice "cat". For all the women who say they don't like make-up or using It, they NEED to watch your videos. Always thorough and well done, growing older gracefully, not agefully lolol😙👌
Make-up at our age makes us look younger, evens out skin tone, our skin looks brighter, and it's a good thing to take pride in the way we look!
Thanks so much for sharing this Lizzie. Good tips and words of encouragement! I appreciate your kind words too, thanks!
It does look different. Thanks for sharing the tip, and the cuteness factor is adorable.
You are so welcome!
