All the other makeup tutorials that I've watched always use a ton of concealer and not only does it smell like clay, it makes your face feel like clay and it clogs your pores, dries out and breaks out your skin. I like how you kept things simple and highlighted your NATURAL beauty. This was full of nice tips and tricks and I also appreciate that you to the time to explain why you are choosing to use certain colors and explaining each step as you go. It made the video very easy to follow and the results turned out great! Thank you!

    I am 33 and have hooded eyes, always have, even as a teen. I've been doing my eyeliner like this for a while now and it really suits us hooded eyelid folks much better than a liquid liner cat eye. I think hooded eyes can be quite sexy actually! All my makeup tips come from older women these days, they really understand how to use makeup properly rather than just caking on some shape tape.

    Love that you are allowing yourself, and encouraging other women, to age gracefully and not try to look like 20-year-olds long after it’s realistic. Aging is not the end of beauty - it’s just a transition in how you present your beauty. I love this eyeliner trick! I’ve dabbled with lining in the lash line, but I’ve never tried the little lift at the end of the lashes. Definitely trying that out! Thank you!

      You make a good point. There is a beauty that comes with age that can sometimes rival that of younger women. Some of the most beautiful women that I have ever seen really seemed to peak in their physical beauty in their 40's and 50's despite the minor "imperfections," such as wrinkles, grey hair, etc. that may be present. Of course, physical beauty is temporal. The old saying "Pretty is, as pretty does" plays the biggest, most important factor in anyone's overall beauty, because inner beauty endures forever, the precious beauty that is not affected by time!

      Yeah but seriously this woman has beautiful tight , skin no lines, if she colored her hair she would look early thirties or younger. I think that beautiful gray color is so nice on 60 and above.. it's like I know she's not old but I can't tell how old she is I would put her anywhere from 40 to 60 by the hair... This is coming from a 50-year-old woman .

      @@CC12398 She really is beautiful. I think a lot of older women sell themselves short when it comes to beauty. Women in general do, though. Not that this woman in particular sells herself short, just reflecting on women’s beauty expectations in general. And we forget how outer beauty only takes a person so far. Inner beauty, in women AND in men, goes so much further. Anyone who doesn’t value you because you don’t meet their expectations of outer beauty, especially when your inner beauty (kindness, loving nature, intelligence, helpfulness, protectiveness, etc) shines so bright, is not worth your time. No one gets to the end of their lives and wishes they’d been around prettier people. They wish they’d surrounded themselves with inner beauty. It’s so much more fulfilling and brings so much more beauty to life than looks ever could even dream of doing. Anyway, that’s my monologue for the day. lol

      Wow. This sounds like a really targeted comment. I think her eyebrows are beautiful. Thin, over-plucked eyebrows instantly give away your age (everyone can tell you were a teen/young adult in the 90s).
      If I were you, I would ask myself why I felt compelled to leave a catty comment. Why do you feel threatened? What do you have to gain by putting another woman down? We women need to stand together, show one another compassion and support, and stop with the insecurity driven backhanded “compliments” and snarky comments intended to cut other women down but in reality cuts us ALL down. When we’re busy being catty and feeling threatened by other women, we fail to see the real threat.

      One thing I decided to do was to put all products up to the point of makeup near my sink. Cleanser, facial spray, serums, moisturizer, sunscreen, etc. i had room fir a bamboo tray and put a plastic bin under the sink for the refills or things I may only use 1x/week.
      Then makeup goes elsewhere (vanity, top of a tall dresser, a wall mounted shelf…along with mirror with lighting appropriate for where I’m going). I went to the Container Store for clear lucite organizers to match what makeup items I use. A pretty piece of pottery or class for brushes, etc. It seems like the time spent flows much better now.

You do more than just lift and boost the eyes here but you lift and boost the soul, with your honesty and humour. Ive watched many other beauty channels, over the years, that just dont quite make that really vital, human connection. You are not just making videos but you actually connect with your audience, at that heart level. That is a game changer, imho. Instead of feeling that putting on eye makeup, especially for hooded eyes ( my upper lids sit right on my lash line ) is such a huge negative experience, you guide us through the whole process. The simple techniques you teach actually work! ..all the while encouraging us, as we come out the other, much sunnier side. I also love the way you, respectfully but cheerily, address us all as " ladies". Have a wonderful day. God bless you !

    This tutorial fell in my lap and I unexpectedly enjoyed it. Most make-up videos show layer over layer, over layer of cake and it looks terrible. Technically, I can still pull off a good wing tip, but at my current age, I reserve it for occasions I'm going for a more dramatic look. As I get older, I appreciate a more natural look. Being overdone on a regular basis just makes some women look even older. There's nothing wrong with ageing, but I have no interest in speeding up the process! Lol, I simply love that when she applies her eyeliner, she naturally runs the liner across the lid, and doesn't grab and pull on her eye like so many women do! At any age, but especially as we age, one technique or habit all women should follow is to not yank and pull on the eyelid to apply liner. I cringe when I see it done, The skin around the eye is so thin and delicate, with so little elasticity. Kudos for showing how it should be done.

    Once again, the perfect video at the perfect time. Recently went to a small gathering of similarly aged women and noticed over half are either trying to look like their teenage GRANDdaughter or never changed their make up from what they did in high school. Every hint/tip I learn from you makes me feel like I am creating a secret arsenal to help me look as good as possible, regardless of my age. Less is best!

    Couldn't agree with you more on the less is more rule. As soon as your skin starts to mature, suddenly there's a line you can not cross in terms of amount of product. Cross it, and it's paste city.

    From a personal point of view as a man, I honestly think your eye technique is SO MUCH prettier and alluring than the strong winged look that so many are using these days!

    Dear Lady,
    Thank you for the eyeliner tutorial! I'm 64, and eyeliner was always a challenge, more so now that I'm older. I do great until it's time to Apple eyeliner. Pencils have a tendencias to stick to my skin, for lack of a better way of saying it. You are majickal! I am dwfinitely subscribing to your channel. I love the máscara brush, as I have always had short eyelashes, and thin bristles work way better for me, but hard to find in the drug store, you know? Just because we aren't 25 anymore doesn't mean we are no longer beautiful. In many ways, we are more beautiful than we were before, because our lives shine through our beautiful faces.
    Love,
    Raquel 💜

I’ve been heading in that same direction with the liner going up or even not wearing eye makeup at all that often but still doing concealer, Blush, contour and lipstick. I don’t seem to look that great eyeliner anymore so I actually bought a couple of old school colored mascaras (green and blue) to bring a hint of color near my lash line as a liner substitute. I actually get a lot of compliments.

Feel strong and fearless, you are beautiful. Every line and wrinkle you see has been hard won, wear them with pride (but keep the skincare routines too -haha) We have to show the upcoming generations of women the great things that are in store for them as they add years of life. Just be you and let the glory of your beauty shine forth. The world needs us more than ever.
