I don't mind looking old. I just turned 70, and I am not ashamed of it. I don't worry what others think if I'm clean and presentable. I wear what I like, what is comfortable, and what I can afford. I've never dyed my hair either. I do love this channel. I appreciate tips for wearing clothes that compliment an apple shaped body. I am what I am. Took getting old to relax and accept myself.
Stopping coloring my hair was the best decision for me, ever. No more sitting in a chair every 6 weeks and spending all that money to put possibly harmful chemicals on my head. I get compliments on my hair all the time! I NEVER got compliments on my colored hair. :) A youthful CUT is what matters, not the coloring.
Cathy, some women also tend to use thicker, tired sounding voices as time goes on. That makes the individual sound old or like a smokers voice. We were taught to sound chirpy as if we’re smiling in a mirror… and not tired and old. Happy chirping🥰 to us all.
I've got flabby arms and I often go sleeveless. I don't care what other people thing, and I don't want to pass out from heat stroke, lol I just got all my covid hair cut a few weeks ago, its super short now and I love it. I quit coloring my hair after a bout with cancer, I am no longer comfortable using chemicals on my hair.
Changing the frames on your glasses makes a big difference. Thank you for your tips. I’m 64 and find myself always going for my comfy black. A pop of colors makes a world of difference.
Black used to be my wardrobe staple, too. Then I discovered navy blue. Deep, rich navy blue is as slimming as black but doesn't wash out my complexion. Great video Cathy, lots of excellent ideas! Special notice to your segment about avoiding boxy and oversized clothes! Proper fit should be comfortable and build confidence! AND proper fitting bras! So important!!
I’ll be 60 in a few weeks. You are blessed to have thick hair. My hair is thin and curly, almost kinky. It got worse during c.Ovid. I searched for wigs. I found a human hair wig by Follea (Daniel Alain). They are incredibly beautiful and very expensive, but worth every singe penny. Hairdressers have difficulty telling if it’s a wig. I wore the wig to my hair dresser and she gave it a beautiful cut while it was in my head! She cut bangs so they were on an angle. So gorgeous! She thinned it out and made it frame my face and be light and fluffy. I love my wig! And am buying a second! It’s so much easier to care for than super duper curly hair. I wash it and air dry it. Maybe put a few sponge rollers to put a bend in the end. Leave it a little messy, so it’s not perfect my hair dress suggested. It’s amazing how much easier it is to manage straight hair than curly. Woah! I still wear my curls, but it’s rare. A wig can take 20 years off the appearance without a face lift. It’s incredible. So that’s what I do. Haha my husband says to me, don’t bother with makeup, just put the wig on if you only have time for one thing! 😂😂😂😂 Love your channel!
Have considered one. I am thin and fine. Not many options for a style and it doesn’t look good most of the time. Glad you like wearing one. It is encouraging!
I am 70 and have curly thinning hair. It is below shoulder length and I have long layers cut into it. I colour it blonde but wish it would go white. I have recently discovered John Frieda shampoo and conditioner for thinner hair. It is amazing and their curl activator too. Then I let it dry naturally. Give it a try. I like my curls as they only appeared about 20 years ago and it’s as if I have a perm.
Cathy, for those of you who love black, try navy instead. It does everything black does (I.e., makes you look slimmer), but it is less harsh, doesn’t wash one out, looks expensive and goes with almost everyone’s complexion.
I also had to stop wearing black because it washed me out too. I switched to navy and it’s a game changer. Looks great with bright colors and is season less. navy looks great on most skin tones.
The old ladies in those 1930s films always wore black (because of widowhood*maybe) with a white collar and perhaps a brooch preferably a cameo. Those frail old ladies were all of 40 something. *I say that because my grandmother had quite a few of her grandmothers’s dresses and they had all been dyed black.
@@Pubslifeyes! Especially looks good with bright colors as opposed to black! Bright colors with black looks so cheap! Can’t put my finger on it- just doesn’t look right. Now, navy, on the other hand, looks incredible with brights!!!
This. I also find black not as flattering as navy (but I still wear black at times anyway, but like you said, I add some color somewhere.). It's harder to find good navy clothes, though, imo.
Just saw this video today, first one I’ve seen from you - enjoyed it very much! You have a nice way of presenting, and great ideas (at 62, I can relate to many of these). I am a clarinetist and sometimes need to wear all black when performing but that doesn’t mean I can’t add some color in a scarf before or after! Thanks for your tips, Cathy!
Just found you. ❤ You are spot on! I am 68, and basically follow all of your tips. I’m confused about why so many people, men and women, don’t keep themselves up. Yes, it is time consuming, but it’s an investment in myself. Gotta run, sunscreen and make up time! I’ll be back!
After first 5 minutes of watching your video, I just had to subscribe. And I follow really just a few UA-cam channels... You talk so clearly, your advices are so true and useful! As a woman in my thirties, I feel like I need these advices. You covered all we need to know in just one video... I love it!! Just go on Cathy, you are awesome.
Man- I just love you! I’m 45 and want to look the best I can at my age. I exercise every day and try to eat well for the most part. I love your tips and your personality! Wish I knew you in real life! You’re pretty awesome!!!
Very good tips. A most sensible video. My dental hygienist said don't pay for whitening treatments, use Crest white strips, they're just as effective and much easier on the pocketbook.
When I reached the age where I realised that the days of wearing high heels are over, I bought some sequin Converse high tops (my sons were really impressed!) and Skechers trainers and sandals covered in crystals. We all need a little sparkle in our lives!
I’ve also realized that our bodies are mostly proportional so avoiding a sleeveless top isn’t fooling anyone into thinking only that part of my body is more plump😂 my arms match the rest of my body!
Cathy!!!! How did I miss this one? What was I doing one month ago? Oh, I remember. Well, have seen it now and so appreciate all these good ideas. Clean shoes. So agree. We seldom look down at the condition of our shoes. Great tips and suggestions to follow to bring confidence to our personalities. Thanks again for all you do for us. Watching your videos is my happy place. Hope you have a good weekend and cooler weather.
Hi Marti! You are so sweet and kind! It is much cooler and the leaves are changing colours, can't believe that September is half gone! Have a great weekend my friend! xoxoxo
Wearing oversized clothes. So true about making someone look bigger than they are. Years ago I was swimming over at my parents house. I came in and changed out of my bath suit and into these baggy shorts and a big baggy T-shirt. My dad said “ well, you instantly gained 20lbs”. I’ve never forgotten that. Baggy = frumpy
You are so amazing! I feel so close to you. I am a plus size 60 year old woman and im constantly looking for ways to help me feel better about myself. Ive taken so many pointers from you and i love them! As far as glasses go, I wear readers and I love to get them to match what im wearing that day. And my hair is thinning so i also tend to wear a matching headband. I just love matching. It makes me feel good to get the compliments. Keep up the wonderful work. We love you girl. ❤❤❤❤
Cathy, I couldn’t agree more about wearing black. I’m so light - my Husband says I’m “almost see-through” and black makes me look like I’ve been raised from the dead! With so many beautiful colors and prints, why wear black? I’ll opt for a navy blue blouse rather than black. For pants, fine, but I don’t like black near my face.
As we age, unsightly skin growths show up and are very aging. I try to have moles, skin tags, and cherry angiomas removed on a regular basis, even if it is out of pocket. Seeing a dermatologist on a regular basis is a good way to catch skin cancer early on.
Great video, Cathy! I agree with you on all of these important points. it's not about looking younger per se, it's about looking current & refreshed, as you said, which is a great way to put it!
Hi from Southern California on a beautiful day. I wanted to say "thanks" for recommending the BB green makeup. I bought it when I saw your earlier vid and it's amazing! I'm a (former) redhead with freckles and roseasea and this stuff does an amazing job of smoothing my complexion out without being heavy. I'm retired and don't bother with makeup very often but the other day I had an appointment and then went shopping. I was pleasantly surprised with how I looked in the dressing room.
I really enjoy your honesty and sharing of your experiences. I appreciate all the hard work, research and time you put in to present such informative and uplifting videos. I look forward to watching every time I get notified that a new video is posted. All your advice is very much appreciated, keep up the great work Cathy!
I’m 58, the best thing about my age is wearing what I like. Mind you, I wear nice clothes when I go out. Also, I love makeup and I wear whatever colour and shimmer eyeshadow I want to wear. Some people think women of age shouldn’t wear colourful eyeshadow, I say do what you like.
I usually break my glasses so update my frames often. The hardest part when you are very short sighted is when trying on frames you cannot see them on your face.
Thank you so much for keeping it realistic. I had forgotten so many of these!!❤ I have an apple body shape and also LOVED your tips for dressing for my body type. *chef's kiss* Excellent tips.
Wait until you're 70...in the south people begin to call you Honey.😊 I was so surprised when I began to be asked if I wanted someone to load my car for me. I'm not "there" yet...maybe when I'm 80...😅
When you mentioned getting criticism for wearing sleeveless tops in the summer, I was astounded that anyone would have the moxie to comment negatively AT ALL on another person’s appearance. BTW, your eyes are most definitely your best feature! That beautiful blue is so pretty. Your pop of color choices really highlight those eyes as well as your complexion. Great video.
It's actually those who are jealous, if they where confident like Cathy tells us to be, then they wouldn''t need to slam another women doing her best to look & feel good. It's really sad for them, there lost on happiness. Carry on Cathy we Love your help.@@StyleWithCathy
Oh my goodness, I just discovered your video and you’re advice is spot on! I turn 57 in a couple days, the tips you have are useful and thoughtful. Thank you for keeping it ‘real’. Keep doing what u do so well 😊
Im 72 and have just had my hair done with pink it makes my complextion look nice and even . Also no matter if you have long or short nails they always look nicer with polish on ❤
My natural hair color is RODENT. After decades of trying to alter it, I found Rose Gold, which brightens and warms my skin making it a cosmetic. It gets so much love from strangers.
Well, I feel like such a slob now. 😂 I needed these tips and pep talk! I'm picking three of your tips and really concentrating on them this week. Thank you, Cathy! ❤
Great video! I am oily skinned too. Having excessive oil glands removed on my birthday. I thought at 64 my skin would be more normal. I guess oily skin keeps us looking younger but i blot a lot w tissues.
As a bit of background, I am almost 60, very short, used to be petite, but after 33 ish years of similar size and look, a lot changed in a short time (PM and covid happened at same time, marriage had just broken down, etc)
I live in Europe, I need glasses, strong glasses. Used to have frameless spectacles but realized that they are very inpractical in daily use and also did not enhance my face. I switched to color! Meanwhile I own 8 sets of glasses to compliment the clothes colors I wear. It makes such a great difference - I feel younger than my 63 years. Those colorful pizazz glasses add to my overall feeling 😁😁😁
I’ve got really short silver white hair, (stopped colouring it 10 years ago as it was so expensive, and was lucky with my grey result!) and wear black a lot. However, I feel as we age, we all need a great well maintained haircut, and some makeup and jewelry to keep looking bright and fresh. Not too much, but classic. Yellow teeth! Ick! I think you’re my sister from another mother! Great minds, etc…… Love your channel and tips.🎉
Great info video. Being a woman is a beautiful thing. And it's not just about being young but as we get older why should we not look out best ? it's not so much that we care what society says about us but what we say about ourselves and I think that you should have a nice haircut and not walking around with your hair gray ,white or dyed, all dried out stringy looking hair. When we younger we would do our eye makeup and want our hair to look nice and wear nice clothes so why can't we feel that same way as women as we go throughout our lives? Why do we just give up and look like bums? You should keep your skin in the best condition possible etc. Love on you and age healthy. Love Cece
Thank you so much for being real!! You are so relatable to me and as I watch I'm yelling "YES!" at my screen.😂 I am 55 as well and Menapause is kicking my butt..weirdest stuff happens and one day all will be well and next day my eyelashes will curl in the opposite direction and hair and skin go nuts..ugh. I love skincare, I use GoPure now and LOVE it!! But that is a huge game changer as well as never going a day without sunscreen! Thank you so much for all your great tips, you are beautiful and amazing!!❤️🌷🙏
Hi Cathy -- love your videos! So great to see a real woman talk about beauty for a change. Luoika is a great shoe/booty brand for people with larger calfs, their shoes are all made with memory foam and are super comfortable.
I finally went for completely rimless with ultra lightweight frames, so there's no clash with whatever I'm wearing. Plus, the lightness really helps keep headaches away.
Absolutely loved and agreed with all of your tips, especially the ones involving our health! The one tip I can put out there in line with good health, is keeping our weight in check. I weigh less than I did 23 years ago. It didn’t happen overnight unfortunately. I’m over 60 and am amazed at the people my age that are unhealthy overweight. It does age a woman. Playing tennis, swimming even simply walking 15 minutes a day, can do wonders! Eyebrows are so important to the youthful look of your face, that and a good skincare routine! Stay away from harsh, dark reddish lipsticks as well.
I own mostly black slacks, one pair of jeans which I never wear and one pair of navy slacks, it's my go too also, but, like you said, wear a pop of color on top!
The l'Oreal BB cream is a miracle in a bottle. It really should be a lot more expensive, but don't tell that to anyone. It does come out of the bottle green, and I think that helps hide red undertones. I put it on my nose, cheeks, and chin. It is a thin liquid that can be built up and blended easily. It always comes out perfect. Zero skills or tools required.
When I was young, I was offended when people called me "Miss", and now I get offended when people call me "ma'am"!! I guess it's best to think of the gracious southern tradition :)
I agree with not wearing black. 13 months ago my husband and I retired to the Gold Coast and decided to not wear black anymore. It’s definitely a mood enhancer wearing colour.
Great video- Thank you! I love my Vionics- thanks to the great foot support, I can wear flip flops again. I stopped wearing makeup a long time ago but I do wear tinted moisturizer and face tanner with SPF.
Regarding eyeglasses- the people who carry off a dramatic look can pull off glasses that are a darker value than their hair. But the rest of us (majority) look better in glasses that are close in value (value is not same as color) of our hair. Think how hard a darker eyeliner makes an older woman look. Same principle. BTW-thank you for your help!
This was really good. I have been a compulsive Sunglass wearer since I was a teenager and another big benefit is no wrinkles around the eyes. My theory for this is that they stop you from squinting. I have seen people in their 30s with deep crows feet and I am 60 and have none. I put that down to wearing the darkest sunglasses on the market because I have always been very light sensitive.
All good points! I think brown or grey eyeliner and brown mascara are much more flattering and natural looking. Would love to tune in and find you with pink hair! When I finally go grey, I’m going to mix it up with rose gold or lavender. 😂
I don’t mind growing older but I find myself hating that I’m growing more invisible, even within my family. My opinions and feelings are ignored, my presence neglected. Clothing choices are some of the least important aspects.
Perhaps you are too "nice" and people don't worry about your feelings because you are too compliant. You know, people will say what a sweet old lady, but I would rather they say "Damn what is she up to now!"
Hi , thanks for all your hard work. I enjoy it even if I have to get a new wardrobe. Please tell us about the bird feeders and interior design ideas also. Mrs. D
Thanks for the recommendation for eyebrow pencil. Since I can't seem to get one anymore from Bare Minerals, I need to find something. I started to do eyeliner about a year ago and love Urban Decay's Mildew and Smog which look great with my green eyes. I did Lancome in my early 20s and switched to Mary Kay which I did love so much that I signed up to sell it but then I saw how they treated my upline after her mother died....and then the way my new upline treated me when she forced a visit (I had a baby and the house wasn't super clean and tried to meet her somewhere else) and so I walked away and into Bare Minerals which I loved. But they're driving me insane these days. And I think the biggest thing is attitude. Act like you're full of life and no one will care about your age or weight. Keep up the amazing videos. It's fun to take a water break with you.

I don't mind looking old. I just turned 70, and I am not ashamed of it. I don't worry what others think if I'm clean and presentable. I wear what I like, what is comfortable, and what I can afford. I've never dyed my hair either. I do love this channel. I appreciate tips for wearing clothes that compliment an apple shaped body. I am what I am. Took getting old to relax and accept myself.

Fantastic attitude!
Wonderful!
What ever makes you comfortable and happy, do that.
I don’t mind looking my age but I don’t want to look like a grandmother from the 1940’s
I’m 77 years old and a cancer survivor. Sometimes I have purple hair. Really. Life is too short to worry about what others think. I make myself happy.
I go to a club with a woman who has very short hair and often colours it light purple. I 😍 it.
Totally agree
Good for you! We boomers can still rock!
I am 72, and one of my maxims is the older you get the newer your items should look. Ie TAKE GOOD CARE of what you have !

The best fashion accessory is a good mirror. It's often a shock to me how I look in an outfit that was so cute in my mind.
Cathy? You’re the best! This was packed with smart, sassy, sensible, and down-to-earth advice! Love you!!!🎉
Thank you! 🥰

In regards to skin care, the single best thing you can do for your skin is to eliminate sugar from your diet.
After first 5 minutes of watching your video, I just had to subscribe. And I follow really just a few UA-cam channels... You talk so clearly, your advices are so true and useful! As a woman in my thirties, I feel like I need these advices.
You covered all we need to know in just one video... I love it!! Just go on Cathy, you are awesome.
Wow, thank you!
Man- I just love you! I’m 45 and want to look the best I can at my age. I exercise every day and try to eat well for the most part. I love your tips and your personality! Wish I knew you in real life! You’re pretty awesome!!!
Thank you! 🥰
Hello from NZ - what a breath of fresh air to find you Cathy. You are down to earth, say it how it is and have some great tips, thankyou.
And wear your sunglasses even in overcast days! As an Optician, I can tell you that it's very important because the rays are still coming through 😊.
Cathy, love your hair just a little bit longer. It looks beautiful on you!❤️
Oh thank you!
Very good tips. A most sensible video.
My dental hygienist said don't pay for whitening treatments, use Crest white strips, they're just as effective and much easier on the pocketbook.
When I reached the age where I realised that the days of wearing high heels are over, I bought some sequin Converse high tops (my sons were really impressed!) and Skechers trainers and sandals covered in crystals. We all need a little sparkle in our lives!
Me too, l call them my cocktail trainers!!!!
I’ve also realized that our bodies are mostly proportional so avoiding a sleeveless top isn’t fooling anyone into thinking only that part of my body is more plump😂 my arms match the rest of my body!
Cathy!!!! How did I miss this one? What was I doing one month ago? Oh, I remember. Well, have seen it now and so appreciate all these good ideas. Clean shoes. So agree. We seldom look down at the condition of our shoes. Great tips and suggestions to follow to bring confidence to our personalities. Thanks again for all you do for us. Watching your videos is my happy place. Hope you have a good weekend and cooler weather.
Hi Marti! You are so sweet and kind! It is much cooler and the leaves are changing colours, can't believe that September is half gone! Have a great weekend my friend! xoxoxo
Hi Cathy - These are all great tips - especially the glasses. You could totally pull off the blue frames out in public! Have a wonderful week.
Thanks so much!
Wearing oversized clothes. So true about making someone look bigger than they are. Years ago I was swimming over at my parents house. I came in and changed out of my bath suit and into these baggy shorts and a big baggy T-shirt. My dad said “ well, you instantly gained 20lbs”. I’ve never forgotten that.
Baggy = frumpy
You are so amazing! I feel so close to you. I am a plus size 60 year old woman and im constantly looking for ways to help me feel better about myself. Ive taken so many pointers from you and i love them! As far as glasses go, I wear readers and I love to get them to match what im wearing that day. And my hair is thinning so i also tend to wear a matching headband. I just love matching. It makes me feel good to get the compliments. Keep up the wonderful work. We love you girl. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I feel close to you all too! 🥰
Cathy, I couldn’t agree more about wearing black. I’m so light - my Husband says I’m “almost see-through” and black makes me look like I’ve been raised from the dead! With so many beautiful colors and prints, why wear black? I’ll opt for a navy blue blouse rather than black. For pants, fine, but I don’t like black near my face.
I love violet mascara. Works well with my hazel eyes.
Where do you find violet mascara?
As we age, unsightly skin growths show up and are very aging. I try to have moles, skin tags, and cherry angiomas removed on a regular basis, even if it is out of pocket. Seeing a dermatologist on a regular basis is a good way to catch skin cancer early on.
Great advice. Love how you call it looking refreshed - that is a perfect description.
Thanks so much!
Great video, Cathy! I agree with you on all of these important points. it's not about looking younger per se, it's about looking current & refreshed, as you said, which is a great way to put it!
Yes! Thank you!
Hi from Southern California on a beautiful day. I wanted to say "thanks" for recommending the BB green makeup. I bought it when I saw your earlier vid and it's amazing! I'm a (former) redhead with freckles and roseasea and this stuff does an amazing job of smoothing my complexion out without being heavy. I'm retired and don't bother with makeup very often but the other day I had an appointment and then went shopping. I was pleasantly surprised with how I looked in the dressing room.
You are so welcome!
I really enjoy your honesty and sharing of your experiences. I appreciate all the hard work, research and time you put in to present such informative and uplifting videos. I look forward to watching every time I get notified that a new video is posted. All your advice is very much appreciated, keep up the great work Cathy!
I appreciate that! Thank you so much! 💖
I’m 58, the best thing about my age is wearing what I like. Mind you, I wear nice clothes when I go out. Also, I love makeup and I wear whatever colour and shimmer eyeshadow I want to wear. Some people think women of age shouldn’t wear colourful eyeshadow, I say do what you like.
I agree!
100%! If not now, when?! :)
I usually break my glasses so update my frames often. The hardest part when you are very short sighted is when trying on frames you cannot see them on your face.
Thank you so much for keeping it realistic. I had forgotten so many of these!!❤ I have an apple body shape and also LOVED your tips for dressing for my body type. *chef's kiss* Excellent tips.
Great video Cathy, thank you🥰
Thanks for watching!
Wait until you're 70...in the south people begin to call you Honey.😊 I was so surprised when I began to be asked if I wanted someone to load my car for me. I'm not "there" yet...maybe when I'm 80...😅
😆😆😆
Thanks Cathy for the tips!! Always enjoy your videos ☺️
When you mentioned getting criticism for wearing sleeveless tops in the summer, I was astounded that anyone would have the moxie to comment negatively AT ALL on another person’s appearance. BTW, your eyes are most definitely your best feature! That beautiful blue is so pretty. Your pop of color choices really highlight those eyes as well as your complexion. Great video.
Yes, some people leave rude comments. Thankfully the majority of my subscribers are very kind and lovely. ❤️
It's actually those who are jealous, if they where confident like Cathy tells us to be, then they wouldn''t need to slam another women doing her best to look & feel good. It's really sad for them, there lost on happiness. Carry on Cathy we Love your help.@@StyleWithCathy
Oh my goodness, I just discovered your video and you’re advice is spot on! I turn 57 in a couple days, the tips you have are useful and thoughtful. Thank you for keeping it ‘real’. Keep doing what u do so well 😊
Thank you!
Im 72 and have just had my hair done with pink it makes my complextion look nice and even . Also no matter if you have long or short nails they always look nicer with polish on ❤
Great video, lots of good ideas. thanks Cathy.
Thanks for watching! Nice to see you Joan. 🥰
All so true! I had a good giggle at some of your frank comments. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed!
YES YES .Cathy,my optomerist diagnosed me woth diabetes 2... went to doctor, and yes it was quite was quite serious ... so very true
I'm glad that your optometrist caught it, I hope that you are ok.
I LOVE that L’Oréal green correction cream. It’s fantastic especially for adult acne.
My natural hair color is RODENT. After decades of trying to alter it, I found Rose Gold, which brightens and warms my skin making it a cosmetic. It gets so much love from strangers.
What is Rose Gold? Is it a hair color? What is the brand name?
😄 ha ha! Never heard anyone call their hair colour rodent before! Have called mine mousey for years, but perhaps I’ll switch to rodent!
Thank you,Cathy,you look Beautiful 👏🥰
Oh thank you!
Well, I feel like such a slob now. 😂 I needed these tips and pep talk! I'm picking three of your tips and really concentrating on them this week. Thank you, Cathy! ❤
You're so welcome! 🥰
Great video!
I am oily skinned too.
Having excessive oil glands removed on my birthday. I thought at 64 my skin would be more normal. I guess oily skin keeps us looking younger but i blot a lot w tissues.
You're so right about tailoring! It brings a mediocre outfit to new heights. People always think it is so expensive.
Just watching for the first time
I DID enjoy your video
Thank you for your straight forward approach and straight up suggestions
Very much appreciated
As a bit of background, I am almost 60, very short, used to be petite, but after 33 ish years of similar size and look, a lot changed in a short time
(PM and covid happened at same time, marriage had just broken down, etc)
Posture! So true. There are so many videos to help but I have to really push myself. Great video. Thank you.
You're so welcome!
My motto about keeping my posture in place, “when I’m walking if I can’t “see the girls” I’m slouching.
So agree with you about changing glasses. I have a friends that at 65 she still wears the same frame style now that she was wearing at 18!!
All very good points. Thank you! Now I need to improve my posture. 😊
My goal in life is to be that lady wearing headphones and dancing on the beach!
Me too! 😊
Thank you Cathy for all of your tips and tricks. Many greetings from the Netherlands, Enny.
Great hints; thank you. My 90 year old aunt always looks beautiful. She keeps her outfits classy but comfortable. She is my role model.
Love that!
I live in Europe,
I need glasses, strong glasses.
Used to have frameless spectacles but realized that they are very inpractical in daily use and also did not enhance my face.
I switched to color!
Meanwhile I own 8 sets of glasses to compliment the clothes colors I wear.
It makes such a great difference - I feel younger than my 63 years.
Those colorful pizazz glasses add to my overall feeling 😁😁😁
I have at least 2 pairs of shoes that are over 30 years old and they still look new. I have always been very particular about my clothes and shoes.
I’ve got really short silver white hair, (stopped colouring it 10 years ago as it was so expensive, and was lucky with my grey result!) and wear black a lot.
However, I feel as we age, we all need a great well maintained haircut, and some makeup and jewelry to keep looking bright and fresh.
Not too much, but classic.
Yellow teeth!
Ick!
I think you’re my sister from another mother!
Great minds, etc……
Love your channel and tips.🎉
Great info video.
Being a woman is a beautiful thing. And it's not just about being young but as we get older why should we not look out best ?
it's not so much that we care what society says about us but what we say about ourselves and I think that you should have a nice haircut and not walking around with your hair gray ,white or dyed, all dried out stringy looking hair. When we younger we would do our eye makeup and want our hair to look nice and wear nice clothes so why can't we feel that same way as women as we go throughout our lives? Why do we just give up and look like bums?
You should keep your skin in the best condition possible etc.
Love on you and age healthy.
Love Cece
Thank you so much for being real!! You are so relatable to me and as I watch I'm yelling "YES!" at my screen.😂 I am 55 as well and Menapause is kicking my butt..weirdest stuff happens and one day all will be well and next day my eyelashes will curl in the opposite direction and hair and skin go nuts..ugh. I love skincare, I use GoPure now and LOVE it!! But that is a huge game changer as well as never going a day without sunscreen! Thank you so much for all your great tips, you are beautiful and amazing!!❤️🌷🙏
Thank you so much!
Awesome video, Cathy. So many on target tips! Thanks ❤
What fabulous advice. You make me feel so much better about myself. Thank you. ❤from this Aussie.
You are so welcome!
Hi Cathy -- love your videos! So great to see a real woman talk about beauty for a change. Luoika is a great shoe/booty brand for people with larger calfs, their shoes are all made with memory foam and are super comfortable.
Thank you! 😊
I found someone who does natural looking microblade eyebrows and I LOVE them!
You sure have nice taste in fashion, Ms. Kathy.
Thank you so much! 😊
I finally went for completely rimless with ultra lightweight frames, so there's no clash with whatever I'm wearing. Plus, the lightness really helps keep headaches away.
I have sinus issues and the rimless ultralight weight glasses are the only glasses I can tolerate. I tried some more stylish glasses sit in my drawer
Absolutely loved and agreed with all of your tips, especially the ones involving our health! The one tip I can put out there in line with good health, is keeping our weight in check. I weigh less than I did 23 years ago. It didn’t happen overnight unfortunately. I’m over 60 and am amazed at the people my age that are unhealthy overweight. It does age a woman. Playing tennis, swimming even simply walking 15 minutes a day, can do wonders! Eyebrows are so important to the youthful look of your face, that and a good skincare routine! Stay away from harsh, dark reddish lipsticks as well.
I don't mind looking old. I just don't want to look frumpy.
Thanks a lot from France, your video offer good councils in all problems an older woman have to deal with 👏
You are welcome!
I agreed with just about all your tips thanks Cathy have a good day
Thank you! You too!
Yes! Microneedle! That's made such a difference for my skin❤
Try wedge booties/ shoes if you struggle with a heel …the weight is more evenly spread and you have better balance
I like this lady's style.
I own mostly black slacks, one pair of jeans which I never wear and one pair of navy slacks, it's my go too also, but, like you said, wear a pop of color on top!
I wesr Transition lenses 2 prs of glasses in 1.
Having neuropathy in both feet = sneakers in all styles most of the time
I agree with everything in this video. I also didn't have nice skin as a teenager. I do now and get lots of compliments.
The l'Oreal BB cream is a miracle in a bottle. It really should be a lot more expensive, but don't tell that to anyone. It does come out of the bottle green, and I think that helps hide red undertones. I put it on my nose, cheeks, and chin. It is a thin liquid that can be built up and blended easily. It always comes out perfect. Zero skills or tools required.
Yes, I love that L'Oréal Anti Redness BB Cream! 😊
Love your hair color, Cathy, youthful and prevents that washed-out look that both white and salt and pepper so often give.
Thank you so much! 🥰
You do your makeup very well. I have rosacea and I have the Elta sunscreen too!
In the south, calling people ma'am is a sign of respect and manners. It annoys me that northerners get so triggered by it.
I wasn't triggered, I was making light that I'm getting older.
When I was young, I was offended when people called me "Miss", and now I get offended when people call me "ma'am"!! I guess it's best to think of the gracious southern tradition :)
I would be triggered by it, even if I grew up in the South, but I do understand.
New Englander here. I accept that as a sign of respect and find it delightful. love good manners.
@@poppyflower7873goodness, lol. I’m offended when a younger person doesn’t say ma’am.
I agree with not wearing black. 13 months ago my husband and I retired to the Gold Coast and decided to not wear black anymore. It’s definitely a mood enhancer wearing colour.
Great video- Thank you! I love my Vionics- thanks to the great foot support, I can wear flip flops again. I stopped wearing makeup a long time ago but I do wear tinted moisturizer and face tanner with SPF.
Excellent advice 👌. You covered so many areas, I didn't even think about. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Regarding eyeglasses- the people who carry off a dramatic look can pull off glasses that are a darker value than their hair. But the rest of us (majority) look better in glasses that are close in value (value is not same as color) of our hair. Think how hard a darker eyeliner makes an older woman look. Same principle. BTW-thank you for your help!
Great tips, Cathy!
Thanks so much!
Great video, I love black, have been trying to add color.
This was really good. I have been a compulsive Sunglass wearer since I was a teenager and another big benefit is no wrinkles around the eyes. My theory for this is that they stop you from squinting. I have seen people in their 30s with deep crows feet and I am 60 and have none. I put that down to wearing the darkest sunglasses on the market because I have always been very light sensitive.
Same here. 47 but no crows feet. Always wear sunglasses and sunscreen.
All good points! I think brown or grey eyeliner and brown mascara are much more flattering and natural looking.
Would love to tune in and find you with pink hair! When I finally go grey, I’m going to mix it up with rose gold or lavender. 😂
Excellent advice! Thanks!
Thanks for watching Fiona!
I don’t mind growing older but I find myself hating that I’m growing more invisible, even within my family. My opinions and feelings are ignored, my presence neglected. Clothing choices are some of the least important aspects.
I feel this way to, I just keep going and do things that make me feel good. We won't find happiness in others anyhow, I find it within my self.
Perhaps you are too "nice" and people don't worry about your feelings because you are too compliant. You know, people will say what a sweet old lady, but I would rather they say "Damn what is she up to now!"
I so enjoy your videos Cathy! You share great advice and I just love listening to you. Thanks for all you do. ❤
Thank you so much!
Hi , thanks for all your hard work. I enjoy it even if I have to get a new wardrobe. Please tell us about the bird feeders and interior design ideas also. Mrs. D
I love this video! It’s about time, getting hints to wear clothing and the tinted makeup. Thanks a lot!!!!
Thanks for the recommendation for eyebrow pencil. Since I can't seem to get one anymore from Bare Minerals, I need to find something. I started to do eyeliner about a year ago and love Urban Decay's Mildew and Smog which look great with my green eyes. I did Lancome in my early 20s and switched to Mary Kay which I did love so much that I signed up to sell it but then I saw how they treated my upline after her mother died....and then the way my new upline treated me when she forced a visit (I had a baby and the house wasn't super clean and tried to meet her somewhere else) and so I walked away and into Bare Minerals which I loved. But they're driving me insane these days. And I think the biggest thing is attitude. Act like you're full of life and no one will care about your age or weight. Keep up the amazing videos. It's fun to take a water break with you.
Thanks for spending your time with me. 💖
