I know not so great makeup is frustrating, BUT for us it’s great to have you walk us through how to salvage a hot mess 😂. Really. This is the video we all needed. What to do when things are not working. How to solve makeup problems when you don’t have time to start all over. Maybe a “HELP!” series? Thank you for sharing your experience with us. ❤
I love your videos but if I want to blend is gonna be interesting to see what time it is what this does to blend anyway this is why we test is things out because you don't want to be spending your money on this if it's not going to be amazing I would expect to stay pigmented but we're gonna just keep working through this I'm adding some more
I’m not even finished watching but I’m CRACKING UP about not being allowed to buy paint looking a mess with the color-failed eyeshadow. Oh Lord, we’ve all been there, and so appreciate your attitude - just make the best of it, learn a lesson and move on. Much love from Hilton Head SC. 💜
I use ,it’s German , M. Asam Vinolift and Magic Finish. Also cream eye shadow. Wouldn’t change it for anything. My skin is soft, no creases anymore and so much better.
I am in my mid seventies, and I seem to spend an inordinant amount of time plucking, shaving, using depilatories, etc. There is less hair where you want it, and waaaaay more where you don't! I'm fighting the good fight tho'!! Every day is an adventure and a blessing!😊
@@cathyackmann1010 Unfortunately, after watching my mother age to her passing. It just gets worse...Even I at 62 am still finding those almost invisible hair on upper lip, and under chin. omg...the chin hair was over 3" long. My mother constantly had the tweezers in her hand feeling for those hairs. -shake my head- getting old is NOT for sissies. sigh
I love your energy. No matter how frazzled you claim to be, you are still so poised and elegant. And you never give up! Thank you for sharing all of your passion and knowledge with us. Yay for Frenchie snores, too!
Oh Nikol, I had to spend spend some time this morning laughing with you not at you. We all have moments when we feel we are a hot mess both in our looks and our thoughts. Pretty sure that was your mind set between the new hair remover and under pigmented eyeshadow. As always you just drove right on thru to a beautiful ending. Am so enjoying your faultless honesty and your true life frustrations. We will all trust the process lol
OMG, you are the best! I love how you were so honest about the eye shadow really not being worth the cost, yet you kept your sense of humor and still made it work! This is so relatable and real. ❤
Thank you Nikol for normalizing hair on a woman's face! Been ashamed of mine since decades, and I'm happy that someone isn't and is showing that it's ok if we're in-between two treatments to tone them down / get rid of them, or if a woman doesn't event want to get rid of them at all! Keep doing what you're doing, you're making a positive change in the world. ♥
Thank you, Nikol. Make-up is expensive, and while I don't mind spending a bit for workhorse items that do the job every time, at my age, I am no longer willing to go out and spend on things that just don't work, will frustrate me, and are going to end up in the trash. I'm glad we have you t odd the experimenting so we don't have to.
I love how you try out all these products for us ..saving us time and money… I bought your BB cream and powder and love it. I get compliments with your eyeshadow, I’m using your brushes. I’m 70 and enjoying putting my makeup on every morning. It’s a good day. 😊 Thank You!
First of all I will be 70 in June. And believe or not I like myself and the normal aging, I'm kind of ok with. BUT THE FIGHT WITH THE LIP AND CHIN HAIRS 😂😂😂 you made me feel so much better about myself. "You had me at Hello" to steal a movie line from the past. The struggle is real. Please keep us updated on your laser journey. #2 I haven't used foundation In 12 + years I used Chanel they changed the product, I was devastated. I tried Tarte BB creame and was sold. Beautiful is all I can say about you and your ability to relate to all of us.❤❤❤
I wear very little makeup as a 70 year old with an outdoor lifestyle but I love watching how you put yourself together! Your BB cream looks like a winner for me. Love that you let us see you before and after the transformation, girl!
You look amazing, the problem eye shadow really doesn’t show because your skin looks flawless and that’s the attraction.I love using bb cream as I’m 77 and it’s what works best for me. Love your beauty Nikol, thank you for sharing.
I started to pass this video , then I realized.... WT🫢 I am 71😂. I love make up and really wear it every day.... Bury me with mascara, blush and lip liner at least💋👍🏼. Thank u Nikol. Love the Videos!
Loved "It's been a moment, it's been a day!" LOL! Love your products also! Thanks for sharing other products that are not yours too! Have a blessed day on purpose!
I just love watching your channel because, you always make us older women feel better!! You're not a snob or arrogant because you're a model and beautiful!! You're always so nice and explain everything so well!! You get me excited to try new things and because I'm 66 yrs young you make me feel like I don't have to look it!! I can do just a few things and look better than ever!!! I'm saving up to buy alot of your make-up line. I'm disabled so money is tight so I have to save up for things. But, I've got to have some of your BB make-up and I realize I need cream blushes and bronzer like you use, just alil lighter . I'm very pale, my father has that pale Irish skin!! Lol. But, you always arecso sweet an uplifting!!! Thank you so much!!😀
Nikol, you have made my morning laughing with you. May I just say it is rather comforting to see the ever calm Nikol having a moment❤️. I am 76 and was so interested in this title today. I am having the same problem with feeling makeup just sits on my skin. Even my favorite LaMer. I have never understood BB products(why aren’t BB creams foundation?) 😊 but recently I am unhappy with all my makeup. I am also an outdoor person very casual life style, but I still want to look put together. It helps that my boyfriend is 60 😱 . So again I will try a BB 😊. Thank you for being you. I love your shorts when you are trying on clothes it is absolutely amazing the outfits you find.
I am 74 and have switched almost exclusively to a BB Cream. I only use traditional foundation for nighttime formal events. So much better!!. Beautiful effect. Try it!
Thank you for highlighting the Tom Ford perfume sampler! My birthday is next month, and I was looking for a less expensive way to sample Tom Ford's fragrances. Your channel is such a breath of fresh air, and I love your personality so much.
Your BB cream is fabulous. I'll make two suggestions: a line under your eye, either in the waterline or under your lowerclasline, will drag your eyes down. The other thing that I said OH NO to, was the eyeshadow quad. Dark brown eyes an blue shadow has never been a great combo. It makes your eyes look so tired. Take care.
This was one of your best videos! You just came across as so honest, down to earth and truly interested in your viewers interests. You were looking out for us and I thank you. I am approaching 75 and take serious interest in info you have about mature people and makeup application. I have seen so much information being disseminated about the use of castor oil for skin/hair care. Have you used it or seen it and what are your views? I have been using it for about 6 weeks for skin care and it seems to have improved my skin as far as moisturizing and hiding the crow's feet. Is it my imagination? Thanks for all you do!
Love it when you try different beauty products, whether it’s great or not! I appreciate education. Thank you, Nikol, for all you do to experiment so we older women don’t have to!! Awaiting the lazer result!🌹
On point about the shadows & especially the costs. You are si beautiful, it takes alot, between your beauty & skills of beauty treatments & make uo to mess you up, since you have alot of experience, regarding these matters. You bring such care & class & fashion for women. Blessings!
I've been moving all day. I'm completely and utterly exhausted. I really needed this video today. Thank you for being so real with us. I so appreciate it.
For dry eyes, look into Tyrvaya from your eye doctor. It is a nasal spray, but it will allow your eyes and lacrimal glands to express tears. Drops are ok too, but Tyrvaya is soooooooo worth it!! You can get it from your eye Dr. I use it 2x a day. It's a prescription. It will help your eyes all day. I rarely need drops anymore. Just a suggestion for you to help you... ❤❤❤❤
You've no idea how many ''make up'' fails I have come across in my life (74) and there is always a sense of ''will it, won't it'' if I buy a new product...I have come across a beauty cream that comes with it's own mushroom applicator...it's fantastic... love from Scotland 😄🌠
Thank you Nikol for this entertaining video. We have all experienced frustration with products we purchased that didn’t measure up to hype. I love your products and use them everyday.
I loved how real, down to earth you are and your sense of humor in this video made my day. I've always had difficulty finding the 'right' shade of foundation! So frustrating that I've opted for loose powders, like physicians formula brand. But now, I'm excited to try a BB cream. I'm 74 n my skin is blotchy, im Italian, sallow not olive complexion. Thx you for these helpful/hopeful videos.
I have the purple Ulike. LOVE IT. I have not had to shave for 2 mo. I am now doing 1 time a month as matenance. Follow the directions. It is so worth the time and effort.
I have purchased many of your products and I am very happy with everything I’ve tried. So happy I found you Nikol❣️Especially love the BB cream. You are a gem; honest, fun, informative. Thank you so much Nikol❤
First time here...I saw a "short " of you modeling a boot look... You were so vibrant and personable and gorgeous to look at... When I connected your name from the short with this podcast I decided to take a look... I'm 76 yrs. old...and the hook for me was the BB foundation...WHO KNEW YOU'D BE SO DOWN TO EARTH...MAGICALLY CHARMING... You are simply lovely... 🙋🌹GA USA 🇺🇸👍 you're "joy" is to die for💕
So refreshing to use a product that Nikol wasn't impressed with. Thanks for the honesty. I bet you have saved a lot of women money. Jacquie. London UK.
Really enjoyed this tutorial. I learnd a lot about salvaging a mess. Im slowly converting to all your products because they work best with my sensitive, dried out 81 year old skin. The eye primer, shadows, mascara and brightner are superstars for me.😊
Nikol, you made my day today!! I was thinking of you going in to the paint store, and wondering what you were thinking about!! You looked beautiful to me 💜💜
I have bought your bb cream and it is just amazing. I have many expensive foundations but your bb cream is head and shoulders above them, I am so excited to finally find something that is right for me, thankyou
Oh my gosh! 😂😂😂 Your running commentary in this video was so funny!!! 🧑🍳 💋 Last Monday, I made a huge mess on my face with Chanel’s Claire Obscur palette and I just took it off and started over with The Cabana. And then I got online and ordered Le Bottled Blonde. 🎉🎉🎉 Your eyeshadows have spoiled me. ❤ They are so beautiful, so easy, and so reliable and I know they will turn out perfect every time. Thank you!
Thankyou for being so real and relatable to. You give me hope that I too can age gracefully and feel beautiful as I get older. Much love from Australia ❤️
You are always so elegant Nikol. Even if you weren't happy with your eye look, you pulled if off with your confidence and elegant class. I always enjoy your videos. 🤩😍
It is comforting to see that you even have a hard time with some eyeshadows. And you are awesome at making makeup doable. I have learned so much from you. I even started buying your line and SO EXCITED that I’m receiving my first purchase today! Plan to buy more from your line. And, not buy Hermes ! Thanks for all you do!
I have always loved the BB cremes - but I do a 1-1 combo of my foundation plus bb and mash them together before applying... it's kind of the best of both worlds...btw - I am 60 - have been doing this since my 50s --- and recently I just tried each one separately just to remind myself that the combo approach is really the best for me... bb tends to be too light - foundation too heavy --- but the 1-1 mash up is perfect!!!
Yes! The BB creme instead of foundation! Works so well! Love it! I don't think it's only for age (I'm in 60s). Before I found your BB creme I used Sisley Teinted moisturizer which is wonderful too. Please note my 35 year old daughter tossed out the foundation (too heavy on HER beautiful skin...young women let your lovely skin show through also.) She now uses Nikol's BB creme and still loves the Sisley teinted moisturizer. Nikol maybe try that product on your channel. Love it too. Thanks so much!!!🎉
I purchased the ulike several months ago & I love that it doesn't hurt. It actually has a cold sensation when it touches your skin, results have been great. I do not use the glasses. I used another brand (TriaBeauty), it worked, but was too painful. My daughter & I share it, she would never have used it, if it was painful, she is also getting great results especially on her legs, the regrowth is no longer at 5 o'clock the same day, Lol. The texture of the hair on her legs is softer since using the ulike. Hope you enjoy yours, "Happy Zapping"
I love seeing you and your mom together. She is beautiful. You really brought out her lovely eyes and lips. I'm 71 and fair skined with white/gray hair cool toned skin and think the same colors/products would be perfect for me.
❤🎉 love your updates and testing of products. And your opinions on products. I hope your hair removal isn't a torture device. Can't wait to see the color pink and cream. I know it will be beautiful ❤️
I have had dry eyes for years. Prescription drops just masked the problem. I did 4 ILP treatments around the eyes with my eye doctor to unblock the oil glands that help moisturize the eyes. I no longer need any eye drops ~ truly wonderful!
Story Time: I bought the Pat McGrath Taylor-Made kit because a red lip lasting for 3+ hours singing, sometimes in rain, without a single smudge is something that can have all my money 😂. It didn’t last through 3 sips of iced tea! L’Oreal Infallible lip crayon 503 is an exact color match and lasted for 24+ hours. I had to use an oil remover AND lip scrub to get it all off. Bonus it’s $4-$5 and available on Amazon.
I love you and your style! I'm happy to have found your channel because I worked for 50 years in surgery. (hidden behind the scene, no make up and wearing t-shirts and shorts to work.) Now I'm retired and love dressing just to go out anywhere. And my husband likes it too. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world (ME).
I heard that sea buckthorn oil helps with dry eye & even vaginal dryness! Agreed about the refills! Understand about choosing paint colors, tile, counters, etc. Do over until you are happy! I must admit, I've been staying away from eyeshadow because of my hooded lids & can't seem to make it look right. Love the blue on you. ❤️❤❤
I have extreme dry eye too. I was taking fish oil for it and it was helping a lot. I was told by my GI Dr to STOP taking fish oil because it was thinning my blood too much. Now I just put a thin layer of castor oil on my eye lids and under my eyes about 2 hrs before bed. It seems to help. Thanks for the tip on Lumify. I was using that too. Ughhh!
You truly are incredibly talented Nikol! You transformed that hot mess of a palette into a really beautiful look, and created a teachable experience. Thank you as always for your elegance and grace. ❤
What do you recommend for brown spots? I burned on my cheeks when young and loved it- thought I had great blush! Now I have 2 large brown spots and they show through my makeup! Any suggestions? Thank you!
Really enjoyed this tutorial as you were so funny today. I could never afford most of the things you use but I love seeing you test them. Got so many tricks and tips from you about make up application plus looking after silver hair. Have a lovely Easter 🐣
I put on makeup to go to home improvement and paint stores. They're full of cute men! 🤣🤣 I switched to a tinted moisturizer around age 45, because foundation just didn't work for me anymore. I recently discovered bronze drops, and I add a few drops to it to give me a sunny "glow" for Spring and Summer. Always happy to see your videos! ❤️⚡
Tom Ford Oud Wood is my most favorite fragrance. It’s beautiful. I just wish it lasted longer on my skin. The fragrance tends to dissipate fairly quickly.
I like the colors of the eyeshadow and the sheer application. With summer weather I don’t want a heavy looking Make up eyes. Hopefully it will stay on all day😮. Too bad it had to be so expensive but they’re very pretty colors especially on you.
Going to try the perfumes! Love watching you do makeup! Love your nails! What color are you wearing? I’ve got to get it. Keep up your interesting/fun videos.
Just a thought for you. A couple of years ago when hyaluronic acid a Sodium hyaluronic first came out I bought an eye cream that left my under eyes beautifully moisturized. I also felt like I had ground glass in my eyes all night. Currently I cannot wear anything that contains hyaluronic acid in the product. I read every ingredient in every product I use. It appears that the hyaluronic acid pulls moisture from the air or any place else it can find it. Hence when I use hyaluronic acid it removes moisture from my eyes. You might want to look into this. Doctors don’t yet know that dry eyes are from ingredient you are using. I wish I knew where I found this information sadly I do not.
RE: DRY EYES Wearing contacts and eyelash serums will cause dry eye. I only wear a contact for close up on my right eye and noticed that it began to be dry-the left is fine or was until I began using eyelash serum. I quit using the serum because I read that it disrupts the endocrine system and the dry eye improved tremendously. It had gotten so bad that I’d awaken in the night with my eyelid stuck to my eye which was painful. You may want to check to see if this could be what is causing your dry eye issues. ❤
O my gosh yes!!!!! Will try!! Just can’t do anything “covery” any more. Screams fake! Even just bits of concealer padded around with a “sponge” is much better than any foundation on my older wiser face! Even tinted sunscreen! Thank you!! ❤
I was having a blue sort of day but your video really lifted me up! Love your honesty and humor! Also, I bought a blue eyeshadow palette a few weeks ago because of a recommendation on one of your videos, and as crazy as it sounds, I paid $8.00 (on sale from Ulta, a brand I’ve never heard of, and cheap!). I absolutely love it!
I'm 77 and have broken capillaries on my cheeks. Nothing I try really covers those red veins. My hair was a golden red all my life but turning gray. What foundation should I use. Thank you for your help to us older gals!!
I know not so great makeup is frustrating, BUT for us it’s great to have you walk us through how to salvage a hot mess 😂. Really. This is the video we all needed. What to do when things are not working. How to solve makeup problems when you don’t have time to start all over. Maybe a “HELP!” series? Thank you for sharing your experience with us. ❤
My thoughts, exactly‼️‼️
Agree!
Very true. I would be livid if I spent this kind of money and it was bad.
❤
I love your videos but if I want to blend is gonna be interesting to see what time it is what this does to blend anyway this is why we test is things out because you don't want to be spending your money on this if it's not going to be amazing I would expect to stay pigmented but we're gonna just keep working through this I'm adding some more
I’m not even finished watching but I’m CRACKING UP about not being allowed to buy paint looking a mess with the color-failed eyeshadow. Oh Lord, we’ve all been there, and so appreciate your attitude - just make the best of it, learn a lesson and move on. Much love from Hilton Head SC. 💜
Love your videos! Just turned 75 so I appreciate seeing your mom and how you include women our age. Thank you!

100%😂😂
I am also mid 70's and love seeing comments from ladies in my age range. I also have problems with hair! Glad to know it's not just me.😊
I now understand the phrase "not by the hair on my chinny chin chin." 🙈☺️ They're coming in jet black sometimes....I do not have black hair. 😅
@@cathyackmann1010 Unfortunately, after watching my mother age to her passing. It just gets worse...Even I at 62 am still finding those almost invisible hair on upper lip, and under chin. omg...the chin hair was over 3" long. My mother constantly had the tweezers in her hand feeling for those hairs. -shake my head- getting old is NOT for sissies. sigh
@@sheelfjohnson I feel you! 😂😂
“You’re not allowed to pick out paint looking like that!” Hahahahaha You made my day.
I love your energy. No matter how frazzled you claim to be, you are still so poised and elegant. And you never give up! Thank you for sharing all of your passion and knowledge with us. Yay for Frenchie snores, too!
And she's only in her late 40's
Oh Nikol, I had to spend spend some time this morning laughing with you not at you. We all have moments when we feel we are a hot mess both in our looks and our thoughts. Pretty sure that was your mind set between the new hair remover and under pigmented eyeshadow. As always you just drove right on thru to a beautiful ending.

OMG, you are the best! I love how you were so honest about the eye shadow really not being worth the cost, yet you kept your sense of humor and still made it work! This is so relatable and real. ❤

Been ashamed of mine since decades, and I'm happy that someone isn't and is showing that it's ok if we're in-between two treatments to tone them down / get rid of them, or if a woman doesn't event want to get rid of them at all!

Thanks for being honest about the performance of the hi-end products.

You’ve already started in the right way by saying more mature rather than older.
I love your annoyance at the eye make up. I relate and actually laughed. You are terrific.
So love your channel!! Can’t wait until you are shipping to Australia. Thankyou for continuing to motivate ❤
As always very pleased to feel as an older woman someone is addressing my concerns.

So refreshing to use a product that Nikol wasn't impressed with. Thanks for the honesty. I bet you have saved a lot of women money. Jacquie. London UK.
Really enjoyed this tutorial. I learnd a lot about salvaging a mess. Im slowly converting to all your products because they work best with my sensitive, dried out 81 year old skin. The eye primer, shadows, mascara and brightner are superstars for me.😊
Im 70 and love this look,more that kind of videos.Love from Liisa Sweden ❤
Nikol, you made my day today!! I was thinking of you going in to the paint store, and wondering what you were thinking about!! You looked beautiful to me 💜💜
I love your honesty! You are bueatiful!
I have bought your bb cream and it is just amazing. I have many expensive foundations but your bb cream is head and shoulders above them, I am so excited to finally find something that is right for me, thankyou
Oh my gosh! 😂😂😂 Your running commentary in this video was so funny!!! 🧑🍳 💋
Last Monday, I made a huge mess on my face with Chanel’s Claire Obscur palette and I just took it off and started over with The Cabana. And then I got online and ordered Le Bottled Blonde. 🎉🎉🎉 Your eyeshadows have spoiled me. ❤ They are so beautiful, so easy, and so reliable and I know they will turn out perfect every time. Thank you!
This is so heartwarming thank you for sharing! I am so happy you love my eyeshadows 😘😘😘😘
Thankyou for being so real and relatable to. You give me hope that I too can age gracefully and feel beautiful as I get older. Much love from Australia ❤️
Love! This video Nicole! So authentic and fun! Even a pro like you can be disgruntled and struggle with makeup! Keep on keeping on!
You are always so elegant Nikol. Even if you weren't happy with your eye look, you pulled if off with your confidence and elegant class. I always enjoy your videos. 🤩😍
It is comforting to see that you even have a hard time with some eyeshadows. And you are awesome at making makeup doable. I have learned so much from you. I even started buying your line and SO EXCITED that I’m receiving my first purchase today! Plan to buy more from your line. And, not buy Hermes ! Thanks for all you do!
I have always loved the BB cremes - but I do a 1-1 combo of my foundation plus bb and mash them together before applying... it's kind of the best of both worlds...btw - I am 60 - have been doing this since my 50s --- and recently I just tried each one separately just to remind myself that the combo approach is really the best for me... bb tends to be too light - foundation too heavy --- but the 1-1 mash up is perfect!!!
Yes! The BB creme instead of foundation! Works so well! Love it! I don't think it's only for age (I'm in 60s). Before I found your BB creme I used Sisley Teinted moisturizer which is wonderful too. Please note my 35 year old daughter tossed out the foundation (too heavy on HER beautiful skin...young women let your lovely skin show through also.) She now uses Nikol's BB creme and still loves the Sisley teinted moisturizer. Nikol maybe try that product on your channel. Love it too.
Thanks so much!!!🎉
I purchased the ulike several months ago & I love that it doesn't hurt. It actually has a cold sensation when it touches your skin, results have been great. I do not use the glasses. I used another brand (TriaBeauty), it worked, but was too painful. My daughter & I share it, she would never have used it, if it was painful, she is also getting great results especially on her legs, the regrowth is no longer at 5 o'clock the same day, Lol. The texture of the hair on her legs is softer since using the ulike. Hope you enjoy yours, "Happy Zapping"
I love seeing you and your mom together. She is beautiful. You really brought out her lovely eyes and lips. I'm 71 and fair skined with white/gray hair cool toned skin and think the same colors/products would be perfect for me.
❤🎉 love your updates and testing of products. And your opinions on products. I hope your hair removal isn't a torture device. Can't wait to see the color pink and cream. I know it will be beautiful ❤️
Your honesty is so refreshing. Thank you.
😘😘
You are a beauty ❤️ Thank you for your work!
I have had dry eyes for years. Prescription drops just masked the problem. I did 4 ILP treatments around the eyes with my eye doctor to unblock the oil glands that help moisturize the eyes. I no longer need any eye drops ~ truly wonderful!
I loved your honesty and I did learn technique!! You look so beautiful!
Thank you for all your hard work.
Sometimes spending big bucks on eyeshadows etc. are not worth. Sometimes the cheaper brands have better payoff. JMO!
Story Time:
I bought the Pat McGrath Taylor-Made kit because a red lip lasting for 3+ hours singing, sometimes in rain, without a single smudge is something that can have all my money 😂. It didn’t last through 3 sips of iced tea! L’Oreal Infallible lip crayon 503 is an exact color match and lasted for 24+ hours. I had to use an oil remover AND lip scrub to get it all off. Bonus it’s $4-$5 and available on Amazon.
yep. I 'v paid 99 cents for 4 yrs. he he he true
Just love you so much. Thanks for all you do for all of us. ❤
I love you and your style! I'm happy to have found your channel because I worked for 50 years in surgery. (hidden behind the scene, no make up and wearing t-shirts and shorts to work.) Now I'm retired and love dressing just to go out anywhere. And my husband likes it too. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world (ME).
Great video- entertaining and informative- perfect combination. Thank You and have a great day!
Your 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️in my book. Thank you for Everything you do and stand for!!! Happy Easter, Nicole to you and your family💝🌸💅🐰🐣👄
I heard that sea buckthorn oil helps with dry eye & even vaginal dryness! Agreed about the refills! Understand about choosing paint colors, tile, counters, etc. Do over until you are happy! I must admit, I've been staying away from eyeshadow because of my hooded lids & can't seem to make it look right. Love the blue on you. ❤️❤❤
I have extreme dry eye too. I was taking fish oil for it and it was helping a lot. I was told by my GI Dr to STOP taking fish oil because it was thinning my blood too much. Now I just put a thin layer of castor oil on my eye lids and under my eyes about 2 hrs before bed. It seems to help. Thanks for the tip on Lumify. I was using that too. Ughhh!
I was thinking about it but won't now because I too have dry eye. 😊
Organic castor oil!
You truly are incredibly talented Nikol! You transformed that hot mess of a palette into a really beautiful look, and created a teachable experience. Thank you as always for your elegance and grace. ❤
👏👏👏
What do you recommend for brown spots? I burned on my cheeks when young and loved it- thought I had great blush! Now I have 2 large brown spots and they show through my makeup! Any suggestions? Thank you!
I love your energy and you’re cracking me up too simple straight facts from you. .
Really enjoyed this tutorial as you were so funny today. I could never afford most of the things you use but I love seeing you test them. Got so many tricks and tips from you about make up application plus looking after silver hair. Have a lovely Easter 🐣
You are very funny and authentic. Thanks
I put on makeup to go to home improvement and paint stores. They're full of cute men! 🤣🤣
I switched to a tinted moisturizer around age 45, because foundation just didn't work for me anymore. I recently discovered bronze drops, and I add a few drops to it to give me a sunny "glow" for Spring and Summer.
Always happy to see your videos! ❤️⚡
Tom Ford Oud Wood is my most favorite fragrance. It’s beautiful. I just wish it lasted longer on my skin. The fragrance tends to dissipate fairly quickly.
Omg. I am cracking up. You are hysterical today. I totally love it. 😀
Tip is to mix a powder shadow on your hand with some primer, then it may pigment and hold better. Worth a shot.
I like the colors of the eyeshadow and the sheer application. With summer weather I don’t want a heavy looking Make up eyes. Hopefully it will stay on all day😮. Too bad it had to be so expensive but they’re very pretty colors especially on you.
Hey Nikol love you and your channel sometimes your comments are funny you make me chuckle take the shadow kit back good reason to do that ❤
Going to try the perfumes! Love watching you do makeup! Love your nails! What color are you wearing? I’ve got to get it. Keep up your interesting/fun videos.
Just a thought for you. A couple of years ago when hyaluronic acid a Sodium hyaluronic first came out I bought an eye cream that left my under eyes beautifully moisturized. I also felt like I had ground glass in my eyes all night. Currently I cannot wear anything that contains hyaluronic acid in the product. I read every ingredient in every product I use. It appears that the hyaluronic acid pulls moisture from the air or any place else it can find it. Hence when I use hyaluronic acid it removes moisture from my eyes. You might want to look into this. Doctors don’t yet know that dry eyes are from ingredient you are using. I wish I knew where I found this information sadly I do not.
A friend developed dry eye after using Tretinoin for 10 years. Makes sense the HA could pull moisture from your skin/tissue.
I really appreciate this video, sometimes I struggle.
RE: DRY EYES
Wearing contacts and eyelash serums will cause dry eye. I only wear a contact for close up on my right eye and noticed that it began to be dry-the left is fine or was until I began using eyelash serum. I quit using the serum because I read that it disrupts the endocrine system and the dry eye improved tremendously. It had gotten so bad that I’d awaken in the night with my eyelid stuck to my eye which was painful. You may want to check to see if this could be what is causing your dry eye issues. ❤
Love this video! I like the idea of using a BB cream and adding a touch of cream bronzer.
I love your sense of humor and God love your honesty 😂
O my gosh yes!!!!! Will try!! Just can’t do anything “covery” any more. Screams fake! Even just bits of concealer padded around with a “sponge” is much better than any foundation on my older wiser face! Even tinted sunscreen! Thank you!! ❤
You are terrific. Thank you for being you.
I was having a blue sort of day but your video really lifted me up! Love your honesty and humor! Also, I bought a blue eyeshadow palette a few weeks ago because of a recommendation on one of your videos, and as crazy as it sounds, I paid $8.00 (on sale from Ulta, a brand I’ve never heard of, and cheap!). I absolutely love it!
99 cents is what I paid for 4 yrs. now
Have you tried Sydney Grace? It's an indie brand. Their eyeshadows are gorgeous and more affordable.
I laughed out loud more than once…Thanks! You seem to be a very genuine person.
I love your eye primer, thank you very much!
I'm 77 and have broken capillaries on my cheeks. Nothing I try really covers those red veins. My hair was a golden red all my life but turning gray. What foundation should I use. Thank you for your help to us older gals!!
