I became legally blind at the age of 36. Due to a car accident, I woke up this way in the hospital. I will be 60 years old this year. I am so grateful to have found you because I am now wearing make up again. The way you do your details of how to wear make up, So grateful to have found you. Actually my accident was on Valentine’s Day. What a memory I have involved because of people like you. You are inspiring and thank you so much.
Sending you positive energy and prayers. What an inspirational story. Thank you for sharing and so sorry about the trauma even though it seems it to have not held you back at all because of your optimistic outlook. Hoping you continue to love life and joy continues to bless you.
Thank you so much for all your wonderful information. I am soon to be 80 and very depressed. Your have show me that there is still time left. Thank you again.
Sending U wholehearted Tks f sharing all yr beauty tips w us. As a woman who has reached her silver-lining age w hair falling off my scalp & getting flyaway in a recent passport photo on top of losing my eyebrows & eyelashes due to medications prescribed by my lady doctors. I found going to temporarily solution of Henna-tinting not only a waste of time & money, so hv resorted to a 2- in -1 brow pencil I paid A$28/- f. There's also a compact case of half dark-brown & half black sponge w a sponge applicator which dried up quickly that costs just as expensive. My skin is getting drier & sensitive as I Aged so I hv to resort to a daily routine of facial Cleanse, Tone w a light spray of mist followed w a Day moisturiser w SPF30+ before I head out of the house. I hv to admit I did not follow-up w a nightly routine of cleaning & moisturising w a rich night cream. Hence the results of sagging skin on both sides of my lower jawline. Is it too late f a Reversed Renewal Night Cream that works to save the day f me 🙏 pls Nikol Johnson?
These tips are very helpful. I’m 61 years young and have transitioned to my natural hair color (shiny silver). Re-learning to apply makeup as a woman post menopause has been a challenge. I’ve watched dozens of makeup tutorials and yours are by far the best. Thank you Nikol❤️❤️
‘This is me’, well I like ‘this is me’ and anyone who complains about how your hair bothers them or why have black eyebrows when your hair is grey, well I am sure they can find another channel to watch. I really like your honest approach and sometimes funny presentation. 💐💐
Can't even believe anyone says anything about your gray hair/black eyebrows! That is NOT a new or unusual phenomenon. Who do you know whose eyebrows match they're hair that actually looks good?!? Like when one dyes their hair red....and then tries to match their brows...ugh....it looks SO unnatural and bizarre! Natural colors, yes! Dyed to match or red permanent make-up brows look ridiculous, especially when it fades to purple. Nikol, you are beautifully natural looking, even after all the "applications" you do so well ! Thank u!
I saw a silver hair the other day on your shoulder and I LOVED that it was there. It made you more real to me. Not so perfected! Keep the beautiful gray coming! Great tips by the way!
I'm 58, and my favorite eyeshadow finish has lately been *satin.* Satin finish shadows are hard to find, though; most often the choices are dead-flat matte or visible-from-space metallics. Someone needs to come out with an *extensive* range of satins! I would buy them *ALL!*
Dear Nicol I'm Sooooo glad I've just found you! Love your looks and admire your spirit! Your fierce aging series helped me so much in so many ways... not just in the way I do my makeup. Getting older and gray doesn't mean we have to become invisible and disappear into the gray zone! You're an amazing, awesome woman! And what a coincidence!!!! Greek! So from a 59 year young, Greek sister, all the way from Athens Greece, many hugs and kisses Thank you for being you!
Rubber band around the button, through the hole and back around the button. You can see this hack, so wear a shirt that covers your button. But yeah. Totally works with thin hair ties too.
You look especially beautiful today. I agree with all of your tips. These need to be put out into the world. I am 69 so I do not want to hear a 20 something talk about aging skin. Your skin looks fabulous. I also love your models . So lovely. Thank you for your time and sharing. Cheryl P.S. It isn't just the shoulders I find these silver hairs. They are in my bed and floating in the air in my Jeep!
I didn't think there was that much difference between black liner and chocolate liner, until I used a black liner on 1 eye and dark brown on the other eye. My goodness...there really is a big difference! Now, when I think of black liner, I think dramatic details....and I really don't need that during the day. And when I use dark brown or chocolate, I think subdued details.....great for the day. Enjoyed this one! 💙
I'm 67 and still love makeup. My "eyeliner" is a dark eyeshadow applied at the lash line with an angled "eyebrow" brush. Pretty much goof proof. Try it.
I love your eyeshow with three colors. I am taking care of myself after raising six children as a single mom. I do not feel overwhelmed. So thank you for that!!
Nikol, do people really comment that you have a hair on your shoulder? Oh, my......you're a beauty and I love your hair and fun personality. You're real and that makes my day. I love that you don't place rules on yourself. That's how I am. I wear what I create because clothes and makeup are like art to me. I just have fun, as you so often recommend your ladies do. Why not? Thank you for all your hard research to bring us knowledge and good things to try to implement. I so appreciate it. Happy Valentine's Day.
Kudos for you for admitting that your wardrobe is mostly second-hand! My wardrobe is almost exclusively second-hand as well and I am literally the best dressed woman in town
When I first saw you and your videos I thought no I'm not going to listen to her videos cuz I don't look anything like her and now... you are my favorite of all! Your advice is great! You're so down-to-earth and practical so resourceful! Keep up the good work these videos are great!
Nikol you make the most amazing videos. You give of yourself and are truly passionate in helping women. I absolutely love the way you teach us to be better at our makeup. Thank you beautiful lady, you are so appreciated .♥️
Just wanted to tell you thank you for being the authentic, amazing, beautiful you, i simply feel happy every time you post a new video so enriching in every way💜
Hi Nora, I was sitting here thinking how to articulate my thoughts about Nikol and her wonderful tutorials, when I landed on your comment which perfectly expresses my sentiments. I, too, feel happy every time a new Nikol video pops up on my Feed. Nikol inspires all of us wherever we are on our journey to go forward with enthusiasm and grace.
You exude such absolute sweetness! You make applying makeup fun rather than a chore and you are a classy makeup artist for sure and besides theres such a kindness about you that shows your Christianity without apology. Keep up the good work !
Thank you for addressing the all matte eyeshadow that's so popular/encouraged for the older eye! I love a little sheen (no glitter), it is a more soft youthful look💚
I’m new to your channel, and I’m enjoying your videos so much! I agree with everything you’ve said... it’s so true that less is more as we age. Our old makeup techniques just become a habit over time, and it’s so important to stop at some point and critique our makeup in the mirror... because what worked at 30 just does not work at 60. Thank you for instructing and giving such wonderful advice!
Love the tips! Since I work in retail, I see so many mature women look washed out...no makeup...no brows or nude lips...bland...A pop of color at least on the lips or cheeks and some eyeliner for definition takes a few years off. I love the color! you wear..vibrant and tres chi Nikol!
Nikol? Never apologize for anything…… you’ve paid your dues dear heart, and you unselfishly share your stuff with us sooooo, just bypass the complainers and retentives… you’re fabulous… We know it, you know it, and God knows it❣️Love your videos♥️‼️🤩😂☮️
I’m 46 and finally figured out a year or so ago that foundation wasn’t flattering me anymore. I found Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer to be a beautiful alternative :)
Since I last posted that I found that dior skin glow is an excellent foundation if you’re looking for a more polished makeup look. It’s expensive but worth it for me:)
I am 53 and I think I’m 75% grey. I started getting grey hair when I was 15. (Early grey just runs in my family) ~ I still dye my hair. I don’t think I’m quite ready to go grey yet…. It’s definitely tempting though looking at your hair!! Truly beautiful! I don’t know who on earth is commenting about hair on your shirt?!?! 🙄 don’t pay attention to them Nikol It wasn’t until I turned 50 that I started a good face care regime and started to learn more about makeup (I’ve always been a wash and go hippie girl … so to speak). I want to thank you for your UA-cam videos because I have learned SO MUCH!! I also love your tutorials with your mother… my mother is 77 and I try a lot of your techniques with her also! Your Mom is just awesome!! She’s such a trooper!! Let her know that we really love her too!! Happy New Year and Cheers to an Amazing 2024!! ✌️❤️🫶
You look GORGEOUS in this video! I love your new hair length. It’s perfect! I love your cute black top with the red hearts. Perfect! I Love the red lipstick with your outfit. Perfect! You are an obvious Winter and look so beautiful in the Winter colors. Sometimes you wear red lipstick with pale clothing, and it makes you look like you are all lips; but with your cool colors on, they blend in perfectly. I just can’t get over how great you look today! I’m way over the Hill, so I appreciated all your tips for aging skin. Thank you, Nikol!
Thanks for the reminders. I especially needed the one about putting on the moisturizer first. I was not doing that. You can use so much less foundation and concealer if you use the moisturizer. The combo looks much smoother and my skin looks at least 10 years younger. I was also applying my eyeliner to far from my lash line. Now I tickle my lashes with the liner and the result is much nicer and more refined. Also went back to using my eyelash curler. Today my makeup looks much more elegant thanks to your tips.
Finally! I have been saying since my twenties that eyeshadow always makes my eyes look dirty and messy. I am now 48 and have just worn eyeshadow twice that looks pretty. I used a tinted eye primer and a lavender color. It looked really good!
Age 72, and I feel the same way! From UA-cam searches, I found ways to add temporary silver gray streaks to your hair -- from white-silver-gray eyeshadow (really!) to silver gray hair mascara. Very best!
I'm 71, I have sort of salt and pepper not a lot, but got this little patchy or grey up front.. problem is, my hair has gotten like a dark brown. I just really hate the color. It does get darker before it goes grey. You see pictures of women with beautiful grey hair. Then mine looks washed out or ugly to me. So I get how you feel. I'm fair complected. And I feel that darker skin looks much more attractive with grey hair.
Just found this channel...I'm in my mid 50s now, decided to stop dying my hair and I'm close to my natural salt and pepper colour. Enjoying these makeup tips for the mature women that we are! Thank you for these great videos!!
Since I have started watching your channel I have started to experiment with color and my make up in general. I have found this to be quite liberating!
You are so empowering and beautiful full of class. I have been trying to find my almost 52 year old makeup look. My husband is starting to say stop buying makeup😂 I have purchased so much and returned so much. I am really not that attractive but I still want to look and feel better. I enjoy your channel. It's hard to find eyeshadows that don't have so much glitter and shimmer, I am also finding it hard to find the right blush color.
Again you are reading my mind on what and what not to do . You are so beautiful and I love how you stress emphasis on enhancing your natural beauty. You have helped me experiment and stretch my comfort level and I love it. Thank you.
Love the Hourglass Illusion Hyaluronic Skin Tint.. I don't care that they call it a 'skin tint' it's at least a medium coverage... at least.. Makes a great concealer too.
I actually cannot believe people are bothered by your hair! Like, you’re human!! People need to chill and be much nicer. Love all your videos, I’m 12 months into my grow out (yay me) and I couldn’t be happier!! Lots of love from London UK X
For the past few years, I've been hearing all kinds of advice from hair color to makeup to clothing. I tried following other people's advice and changing my look but ultimately I've decided that I have to feel comfortable in my own skin. I'm 68 and due to some absolutely incredible genetics on both sides of my family plus some skin-care rules I try never to deviate from, I am fortunate enough to look 45. I haven't had plastic surgery (except for a rhinoplasty when I was 26), no fillers or injections, and, well it is what it is. My hair only is true silver at the front hairline, with a sprinkle through the rest of my head. I let it go totally natural, being urged to age gracefully, and the result was a disaster. My hair has faded to a mousy brown and adding the small amount of silver made me look like an old woman. Never mind that I didn't have wrinkles or was an expert at doing my makeup, I looked OLD! So I decided. Out came the very dark brown dye, my hair was my favorite shade (and my late husband's) and the years fell off. With regard to makeup, I'm always interested in learning new tips. However, some things I've been doing for years and attempting to change just result in a disaster. My skin tone is the palest white ivory. I've only, over the years, found a couple of people fairer than myself. Trying a foundation with more color to "warm me up" just leaves me with a pink face attached to a white neck and chest. So I stick to the very fairest, non-yellow, ivory there is and any color added is usually a tiny bit of bronzer. I will admit I've gotten a great deal of help with eye shadow application and changes of color. I was heavily into frosted or shiny shadow when younger and I've found this can, indeed, be aging to the skin on the eyelid. So I go with more mattes and add just a touch of frost to lighten it up. I think that for women like you, silver hair is just gorgeous. But not for me so I made the decision that makes me look best. Sometimes certain things may be wrong for the majority of women but totally right for the few of us.
I agree with you. I’m almost 60. A couple of years ago I tried to embrace my grays. But I looked like I’m ill. So I resumed dying my hair in a softer reddish brown shade. 😊
Yep, I have great skin, with a beanie I pass for 10-15 years younger, I really like grey hair, but I try and keep mine highlighted or streaked - platinum. Otherwise I just look old lady-ish🙄 lol a bit of effort to look ‘naturally’ pretty🤦
Thank you for giving me the courage to try new things with my makeup! I would be one of those who is conservative and found a look that wasn't overpowering, but stayed with it because it was safe. I'm also so excited when you talk about your vintage clothing, as I am a vintage clothes enthusiast myself! Thanks for being you and sharing your knowledge with us!
Thank you for the tips, very helpful. Please ignore those complaining about gray hair on your shoulder...🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🙄🙄 Have a wonderful weekend! Greetings from Miami... 👏🏼👍🏼😊☀️
Do you how absolutely wonderful you are!! You bring such joy to watch you - such inspiration - and I'm 74!!! Bless you for you inspire so many of us that life indeed has just begun!!
You helped me so much, thank you. I wish I could have you help me get started. I have a lot of issues, lol. My hair used to be as thick as yours and now I’m losing it like crazy...and I mean thank goodness I had such thick hair because I would be bald by now. I never wear makeup anymore because I don’t feel attractive, lots of health issues and my boyfriend (how silly to say at my age) never EVER has complemented me, so I stopped caring. I never used to be that way. I didn’t like to leave the house without looking pretty, or at least feeling that way. I haven’t felt that way in 10 years. You are so down to earth, I just like you so much, thank you for these videos. Where can I get some of your makeup? I need all the help I can get, haha. I forgot to say I started letting my hair go gray ( I started going gray early, my 20’s ) and I’m just sick of coloring it, I had beautiful Dark Auburn hair. It is Silver and some places snow white gray. My skin has a ruddy tone to it with some Rosacea. Any advice would be wonderful. Have a wonderful day. 💫
Oh my! You are the epitome of elegance. I could never ever look like you but you still give me inspiration. Unfortunately whatever foundation I use it sits in the lines and under the eyes. Rather like a lizard actually. Thread veins on my cheeks are the worst. Trying to hide them is a nightmare. I am 73 but am not about to give up. Unfortunately I live in England and many of your own products are not available.
We Love your Silver!!!! And I "am" empowered to be the BEST me that I can be and your channel helps give me that confidence! Happy St Valentine's DAY Sweetheart 💓
Your tips are spot on!! Love the models that you used...they are all gorgeous and prove your points. You give us motivation that we can still use makeup to enhance our looks as we deal with aging issues.Thank you!! Also...I might be obsessed with your sweater! ❤️
Thank you so much for these great tips! I'm just beginning to get back into using makeup. Gave up since my skin has matured and felt like makeup just made me look older. However, I just feel like I'm looking so washed out and could be looking so much better. I agree with so many of your tips, enjoy your tutorials, and have begun using many of your techniques. I am finally using makeup again and looking better and feeling more confident! Awesome sweater - Happy Valentine's Day!
Nikol great tips, thank you. You make a beautiful valentine! ❤ All February I have sported my valentine theme even if it's just to the grocery store...sometimes I feel like a live vintage valentine.
You rock, Nikol! How I wish you could create a specialized skincare and makeup routine for me personally. I do/did before the pandemic, go to the department store makeup counters and get color recommendations. However, I always felt like they were too beige. So, foundation color is my biggest challenge. My hair color is a blondish silver around my face and fades into a dark brown towards the sides and back. Sounds weird, but I like the contrast. I’m 65 years old and fighting liver cancer. I’ve not kept up with my skin care regimen during this time, but I still look fairly good. 😉 I think I should get back into the skincare game. Don’t you? Enjoy Valentine’s Day!
I'm only 1:40 in and I'm like OMG! I'm always lapping my jeans over with a big safety pin on the inside but I can't believe I have missed these little stud buttons! Genius! You are so fun and informative. Honestly you look so sophisticated and "worldly" but you are so real and "best friendish" (I know, not a real word but you get it!). I love your channel and you! Now to finish watching...
Hi, there. I started watching your channel, in part, because you are the only person I've seen who has the same more coarse, thick hair (although mine's like yours at the crown, wavy in the middle and curly the bottom which is a challenge) grey hair. My husband says I shed as much as the cat and indeed I do. Those women are just jealous that we still have so much hair that we can shed like that and still have our beautiful silver manes.
Such a beautiful Woman with so much knowledge. I have just turned 60 and worn make-up since 16, however, your tips now have given me more confidence, as my normal routine wasn't working anymore, with texture on skin etc. thank you so much Nikol X
Yes I hear you. Practice with some lashes you glue on. Or go to the eyebrow shop. They have lashes there and they have eyebrow dye. Lasts a month. It's really worth it. I loved it. You wake up, see yourself in the mirror. First thing in the am. You'll feel good about yourself. That and a wig.... You'll be your old self. Good luck. Sending you hugs.
BTW I love the Hourglass Scattered Light eyeshadow. I just put it on with my fingers so it is easy and it really brightens up my eyes! I don't think it really makes my wrinkles look any worse.
My little movie star!... this is an awesome video!!!... thank you for bringing these important mistakes to us!!!... you look stunning!.... thank you!... much love and appreciation!!!!💜💜💜💜💜
I'm turning 60 in a couple of days and I love my red and berry lips. I've been wearing red since I was 16 years old and I've done it all with my lips except permanent makeup. In fact, I'm wearing Chanel's Intense Matte Lip Color in Extreme just to vacuum my house. I have a short crew cut in silver and black and I can't wait for my hair to turn white! Thank you Nikol for showing us that we can do what we want and not let society put strains on what older women should do. Just be you but better and as CC would say "If you are sad, add more lipstick and attack."
I just subscribe to you channel. Thank you for showing us ITS OK to be who you are. I really enjoy your channel. 🌻🌻🌻🌻I've been really down. I've not put my makeup on in a month. I just don't feel beautiful. Watching you I've came out a little bit. I did get my makeup out. But I've not made it to putting it on. Thank you. U are beautiful inside and out.
Love you. Love your video. Love your tips. I'm so stuck in a rut when it comes to make up. Doing the same thing for the past 20 years and to afraid to try something new. Professional make up artists make it look so easy. But I will definitely try some new things. Thanks for sharing.❤
Nikol, This Video has really helped me so much! You are amazing and I appreciate all that you do for women my age. It really shows how much you really love what you do because you cannot FAKE helping and explaining to us how to do apply our make correctly to make us GEORGOUS! Thank you - thank you- thank you :)
Hi Nikol, I Loooove your videos, this one especially , concerning the blush technique. I am a 58 year old black american lady and would like to know if I can use the brown or a deep brown eyeliner? I would prefer that especially in spring and summer months. I also started greying at the edges of my hairline at about 22 or 23 years of age. The rest of my hair is still black. I so appreciate you talking about greying this has helped me SOOOOO much. You are the BEST.😚
Amazing video! I'm going through crazy things with chemotherapy and losing my eyesight on top. So,wow skin changes, eyeliner, and brow tips as well, thank you! This really made so much sense to me in this juncture of my life. Appreciation sweetheart! New sub.
Great tips- thank you, Nikol! Truly appreciate you recommending product alternatives to your line, as I was able to save $ by getting the Joah foundation (even less expensive when ordered direct from their site!) and buy your fabulous concealers. Very pleased with ALL purchases and continue to gain confidence in using everything because your videos are so fun and helpful. Merci!
Nikol, I love the way you explain everything so well in your videos. You have helped me so much. I really appreciate you! I love your hair, the style, the thickness, & beautiful natural color! You are beautiful!❤️
I'm 66 and, thanks to you and your tutorials, I'm experimenting with your make-up and I'm beginning to like how I look. Before, I thought at 65 I was hideous. Many many thanks! 😘
Sweetie you are so beautiful. Thank you for all the great ideas I am going to be 58 in 3 months letting my grays grow and I don't care about what people think or say.😀
Very much appreciate these tips, Nikol - thank you! I’m turning 72 in two months’ time and am dealing with eyebrows that are sparse and rapidly going gray, thinning lashes, and not seeing quite as well when applying the eye makeup I so love and enjoy wearing. Thank you for encouraging us wherever we are on our respective journeys to move forward boldly and retain an element of “fun” along the way. The Lightness of Being, I term it.
I really needed this video today. I live in a cold climate, I'm feeling like a reptile with my skin so dry. In turn I feel it makes my fine lines more visible. I've started a new skin care routine to combat this, so make up tips like these really help. 🤗
Thank you! You're amazing! I need a complete make-up makeover!! I'm so stuck in a rut. I've used the same colors for the last 30 Years! Lol. How embarrassing but true.
Great stuff -- we are living longer and we need to be beautiful at every age -- I'm 76 and always trying new looks and new weights (lost almost 40 lbs 9 months ago.) We need to take good care of ourselves so that young people are inspired. Two weeks ago a 26-year old guy said to me in Old Town (Colorado city) "Lady, you're rockin it!" (white hair, hot pink t-shirt and rosy red cowboy boots) I asked "Is it the boots?" He replied "No, it's that pink color; it looks great on you!" We give them hope that there IS a future.
With hair as gorgeous as yours, who cares if one's on your shoulder, lol? Great tips, Nikol, and SO.MUCH.FUN. I love watching you and all your great advice. Thank you, and, have a wonderful weekend! Rosemarie 💖🌹

I love shiny silver hair! It’s one reason I’m attracted to Nikol’s videos. You’re so fortunate. I just know it’s beautiful on you! 🙂
I'm 39 and have had a hard time accepting it and realizing how to do my makeup as a "mature" woman...lol. this helps so much!
@Dayzee1081 You're still very young! Enjoy every minute!
Would also like to mention your stunning fashion sense.
A very stylish lady.

I need buttons for when waist gets bigger lol
🤣😊
Rubber band around the button, through the hole and back around the button. You can see this hack, so wear a shirt that covers your button. But yeah. Totally works with thin hair ties too.
😄😄😄
Me too Mary Anne. Me too !!
It works for that too 😘

I love that you don't place rules on yourself. That's how I am. I wear what I create because clothes and makeup are like art to me. I just have fun, as you so often recommend your ladies do. Why not? Thank you for all your hard research to bring us knowledge and good things to try to implement. I so appreciate it. Happy Valentine's Day.

Nikol you make the most amazing videos. You give of yourself and are truly passionate in helping women. I absolutely love the way you teach us to be better at our makeup. Thank you beautiful lady, you are so appreciated .♥️
Just wanted to tell you thank you for being the authentic, amazing, beautiful you, i simply feel happy every time you post a new video so enriching in every way💜
Hi Nora, I was sitting here thinking how to articulate my thoughts about Nikol and her wonderful tutorials, when I landed on your comment which perfectly expresses my sentiments. I, too, feel happy every time a new Nikol video pops up on my Feed. Nikol inspires all of us wherever we are on our journey to go forward with enthusiasm and grace.
You exude such absolute sweetness! You make applying makeup fun rather than a chore and you are a classy makeup artist for sure and besides theres such a kindness about you that shows your Christianity without apology. Keep up the good work !
Thank you
Thank you for addressing the all matte eyeshadow that's so popular/encouraged for the older eye! I love a little sheen (no glitter), it is a more soft youthful look💚
Glitter is for any age
I’m new to your channel, and I’m enjoying your videos so much! I agree with everything you’ve said... it’s so true that less is more as we age. Our old makeup techniques just become a habit over time, and it’s so important to stop at some point and critique our makeup in the mirror... because what worked at 30 just does not work at 60. Thank you for instructing and giving such wonderful advice!
Love the tips! Since I work in retail, I see so many mature women look washed out...no makeup...no brows or nude lips...bland...A pop of color at least on the lips or cheeks and some eyeliner for definition takes a few years off. I love the color! you wear..vibrant and tres chi Nikol!
Thank you ❤️❤️
Nikol? Never apologize for anything…… you’ve paid your dues dear heart, and you unselfishly share your stuff with us sooooo, just bypass the complainers and retentives… you’re fabulous… We know it, you know it, and God knows it❣️Love your videos♥️‼️🤩😂☮️
I’m 46 and finally figured out a year or so ago that foundation wasn’t flattering me anymore. I found Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer to be a beautiful alternative :)
I just turned 48 and I feel this comment in my soul. I’ve been using tinted moisturizer for a few years, but now the rest just seems wrong. 👀
It is a great product!
47 and my foundation isn't working at all now. I'm dragging my feet trying to figure out an alternative one!
Since I last posted that I found that dior skin glow is an excellent foundation if you’re looking for a more polished makeup look. It’s expensive but worth it for me:)
Nikol, I love your knowledge, attitude and passion for helping us achieve the prettiest that we can be at any age! Thank you!
I am 53 and I think I’m 75% grey. I started getting grey hair when I was 15. (Early grey just runs in my family) ~ I still dye my hair. I don’t think I’m quite ready to go grey yet…. It’s definitely tempting though looking at your hair!! Truly beautiful!
I don’t know who on earth is commenting about hair on your shirt?!?! 🙄 don’t pay attention to them Nikol
It wasn’t until I turned 50 that I started a good face care regime and started to learn more about makeup (I’ve always been a wash and go hippie girl … so to speak). I want to thank you for your UA-cam videos because I have learned SO MUCH!! I also love your tutorials with your mother… my mother is 77 and I try a lot of your techniques with her also! Your Mom is just awesome!! She’s such a trooper!! Let her know that we really love her too!!
Happy New Year and Cheers to an Amazing 2024!! ✌️❤️🫶
You look GORGEOUS in this video! I love your new hair length. It’s perfect! I love your cute black top with the red hearts. Perfect! I Love the red lipstick with your outfit. Perfect! You are an obvious Winter and look so beautiful in the Winter colors. Sometimes you wear red lipstick with pale clothing, and it makes you look like you are all lips; but with your cool colors on, they blend in perfectly. I just can’t get over how great you look today! I’m way over the Hill, so I appreciated all your tips for aging skin. Thank you, Nikol!
Thanks for the reminders. I especially needed the one about putting on the moisturizer first. I was not doing that. You can use so much less foundation and concealer if you use the moisturizer. The combo looks much smoother and my skin looks at least 10 years younger. I was also applying my eyeliner to far from my lash line. Now I tickle my lashes with the liner and the result is much nicer and more refined. Also went back to using my eyelash curler. Today my makeup looks much more elegant thanks to your tips.
Finally! I have been saying since my twenties that eyeshadow always makes my eyes look dirty and messy. I am now 48 and have just worn eyeshadow twice that looks pretty. I used a tinted eye primer and a lavender color. It looked really good!
I am 73 and I have 0 gray hair! I find myself envious of my friends with beautiful silver hair.
Age 72, and I feel the same way! From UA-cam searches, I found ways to add temporary silver gray streaks to your hair -- from white-silver-gray eyeshadow (really!) to silver gray hair mascara. Very best!
I'm 71, I have sort of salt and pepper not a lot, but got this little patchy or grey up front.. problem is, my hair has gotten like a dark brown. I just really hate the color. It does get darker before it goes grey. You see pictures of women with beautiful grey hair. Then mine looks washed out or ugly to me. So I get how you feel. I'm fair complected. And I feel that darker skin looks much more attractive with grey hair.
@@barbaraclarkmoore3461 thanks I'll check it out
Just found this channel...I'm in my mid 50s now, decided to stop dying my hair and I'm close to my natural salt and pepper colour. Enjoying these makeup tips for the mature women that we are! Thank you for these great videos!!
Since I have started watching your channel I have started to experiment with color and my make up in general. I have found this to be quite liberating!
You are so empowering and beautiful full of class. I have been trying to find my almost 52 year old makeup look. My husband is starting to say stop buying makeup😂
I have purchased so much and returned so much. I am really not that attractive but I still want to look and feel better. I enjoy your channel. It's hard to find eyeshadows that don't have so much glitter and shimmer, I am also finding it hard to find the right blush color.
Again you are reading my mind on what and what not to do . You are so beautiful and I love how you stress emphasis on enhancing your natural beauty. You have helped me experiment and stretch my comfort level and I love it. Thank you.
I love seeing comments like this 😘😘😘😘
Your videos are fantastic and always learn something new.
My makeup application is better now at 69 than when I was in my 20/30's.
Thank u Nikol
This is awesome!!!!! Love hearing this!!! 💪🏻💪🏻❤️❤️
Just realized what a mess I am. Thank you for the advice, I'm off to get some products.
Love the smudge brush tip! As I age it is getting more and more difficult to see what I am doing in the mirror.
Love the Hourglass Illusion Hyaluronic Skin Tint.. I don't care that they call it a 'skin tint' it's at least a medium coverage... at least.. Makes a great concealer too.
Love your look today. You are so well put together in your videos. The epitome of class and beauty❣
I actually cannot believe people are bothered by your hair! Like, you’re human!! People need to chill and be much nicer. Love all your videos, I’m 12 months into my grow out (yay me) and I couldn’t be happier!! Lots of love from London UK X
For the past few years, I've been hearing all kinds of advice from hair color to makeup to clothing. I tried following other people's advice and changing my look but ultimately I've decided that I have to feel comfortable in my own skin. I'm 68 and due to some absolutely incredible genetics on both sides of my family plus some skin-care rules I try never to deviate from, I am fortunate enough to look 45. I haven't had plastic surgery (except for a rhinoplasty when I was 26), no fillers or injections, and, well it is what it is. My hair only is true silver at the front hairline, with a sprinkle through the rest of my head. I let it go totally natural, being urged to age gracefully, and the result was a disaster. My hair has faded to a mousy brown and adding the small amount of silver made me look like an old woman. Never mind that I didn't have wrinkles or was an expert at doing my makeup, I looked OLD! So I decided. Out came the very dark brown dye, my hair was my favorite shade (and my late husband's) and the years fell off. With regard to makeup, I'm always interested in learning new tips. However, some things I've been doing for years and attempting to change just result in a disaster. My skin tone is the palest white ivory. I've only, over the years, found a couple of people fairer than myself. Trying a foundation with more color to "warm me up" just leaves me with a pink face attached to a white neck and chest. So I stick to the very fairest, non-yellow, ivory there is and any color added is usually a tiny bit of bronzer. I will admit I've gotten a great deal of help with eye shadow application and changes of color. I was heavily into frosted or shiny shadow when younger and I've found this can, indeed, be aging to the skin on the eyelid. So I go with more mattes and add just a touch of frost to lighten it up. I think that for women like you, silver hair is just gorgeous. But not for me so I made the decision that makes me look best. Sometimes certain things may be wrong for the majority of women but totally right for the few of us.
I agree with you. I’m almost 60. A couple of years ago I tried to embrace my grays. But I looked like I’m ill. So I resumed dying my hair in a softer reddish brown shade. 😊
Yep, I have great skin, with a beanie I pass for 10-15 years younger, I really like grey hair, but I try and keep mine highlighted or streaked - platinum. Otherwise I just look old lady-ish🙄 lol a bit of effort to look ‘naturally’ pretty🤦
You’re adorable! You’re so cute and so sweet 🦋 I love how you embrace your beautiful natural hair! You’re showing people that they can age gracefully!
Thank you for giving me the courage to try new things with my makeup! I would be one of those who is conservative and found a look that wasn't overpowering, but stayed with it because it was safe. I'm also so excited when you talk about your vintage clothing, as I am a vintage clothes enthusiast myself! Thanks for being you and sharing your knowledge with us!
Thank you for the tips, very helpful. Please ignore those complaining about gray hair on your shoulder...🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🙄🙄
Have a wonderful weekend! Greetings from Miami...
👏🏼👍🏼😊☀️
I love the way you make beauty seem doable ! Thank you 🤩
Do you how absolutely wonderful you are!! You bring such joy to watch you - such inspiration - and I'm 74!!! Bless you for you inspire so many of us that life indeed has just begun!!
Love you❣️just sent this to my 78 year young mom❤️
I love your videos. You are so kind and compassionate. You teach so much more than makeup. It's your calling!!
You helped me so much, thank you. I wish I could have you help me get started. I have a lot of issues, lol. My hair used to be as thick as yours and now I’m losing it like crazy...and I mean thank goodness I had such thick hair because I would be bald by now. I never wear makeup anymore because I don’t feel attractive, lots of health issues and my boyfriend (how silly to say at my age) never EVER has complemented me, so I stopped caring. I never used to be that way. I didn’t like to leave the house without looking pretty, or at least feeling that way. I haven’t felt that way in 10 years. You are so down to earth, I just like you so much, thank you for these videos. Where can I get some of your makeup? I need all the help I can get, haha. I forgot to say I started letting my hair go gray ( I started going gray early, my 20’s ) and I’m just sick of coloring it, I had beautiful Dark Auburn hair. It is Silver and some places snow white gray. My skin has a ruddy tone to it with some Rosacea. Any advice would be wonderful. Have a wonderful day. 💫
Oh my! You are the epitome of elegance. I could never ever look like you but you still give me inspiration. Unfortunately whatever foundation I use it sits in the lines and under the eyes. Rather like a lizard actually. Thread veins on my cheeks are the worst. Trying to hide them is a nightmare. I am 73 but am not about to give up. Unfortunately I live in England and many of your own products are not available.
We Love your Silver!!!! And I "am" empowered to be the BEST me that I can be and your channel helps give me that confidence! Happy St Valentine's DAY Sweetheart 💓
This popped up in my recommendations. NEW SUBSCRIBER alert!! I'm 57 years young & loving all of this!!
Your tips are spot on!! Love the models that you used...they are all gorgeous and prove your points.
You give us motivation that we can still use makeup to enhance our looks as we deal with aging issues.Thank you!! Also...I might be obsessed with your sweater! ❤️
Thank you so much for these great tips! I'm just beginning to get back into using makeup. Gave up since my skin has matured and felt like makeup just made me look older. However, I just feel like I'm looking so washed out and could be looking so much better. I agree with so many of your tips, enjoy your tutorials, and have begun using many of your techniques. I am finally using makeup again and looking better and feeling more confident! Awesome sweater - Happy Valentine's Day!
I love how your skin looks naturally tan and glowy! 😍💃
Nikol great tips, thank you. You make a beautiful valentine! ❤ All February I have sported my valentine theme even if it's just to the grocery store...sometimes I feel like a live vintage valentine.
You rock, Nikol! How I wish you could create a specialized skincare and makeup routine for me personally. I do/did before the pandemic, go to the department store makeup counters and get color recommendations. However, I always felt like they were too beige. So, foundation color is my biggest challenge. My hair color is a blondish silver around my face and fades into a dark brown towards the sides and back. Sounds weird, but I like the contrast. I’m 65 years old and fighting liver cancer. I’ve not kept up with my skin care regimen during this time, but I still look fairly good. 😉 I think I should get back into the skincare game. Don’t you? Enjoy Valentine’s Day!
I'm only 1:40 in and I'm like OMG! I'm always lapping my jeans over with a big safety pin on the inside but I can't believe I have missed these little stud buttons! Genius! You are so fun and informative. Honestly you look so sophisticated and "worldly" but you are so real and "best friendish" (I know, not a real word but you get it!). I love your channel and you! Now to finish watching...
Hi, there. I started watching your channel, in part, because you are the only person I've seen who has the same more coarse, thick hair (although mine's like yours at the crown, wavy in the middle and curly the bottom which is a challenge) grey hair. My husband says I shed as much as the cat and indeed I do. Those women are just jealous that we still have so much hair that we can shed like that and still have our beautiful silver manes.
Such a beautiful Woman with so much knowledge. I have just turned 60 and worn make-up since 16, however, your tips now have given me more confidence, as my normal routine wasn't working anymore, with texture on skin etc. thank you so much Nikol X
Nikol, I have learned so much from you and love your products. You are so inspirational, and have a charming personality.
I had chemo and lost my eyelashes and eyebrows. just in time for eyebrows to become important. I will try to use make up.
Yes I hear you. Practice with some lashes you glue on. Or go to the eyebrow shop. They have lashes there and they have eyebrow dye. Lasts a month. It's really worth it. I loved it. You wake up, see yourself in the mirror. First thing in the am. You'll feel good about yourself. That and a wig.... You'll be your old self. Good luck. Sending you hugs.
Babe lash serum really actually works!!!! I have people asking if I got eyelash extensions! Love this video! ❤️
BTW I love the Hourglass Scattered Light eyeshadow. I just put it on with my fingers so it is easy and it really brightens up my eyes! I don't think it really makes my wrinkles look any worse.
Love your hair, finely got through the transition from brown to my natural grey. Really enjoy your videos.
I love how genuine and authentic you are ❤ Thank you Nikol. X
My little movie star!... this is an awesome video!!!... thank you for bringing these important mistakes to us!!!... you look stunning!.... thank you!... much love and appreciation!!!!💜💜💜💜💜
I'm turning 60 in a couple of days and I love my red and berry lips. I've been wearing red since I was 16 years old and I've done it all with my lips except permanent makeup. In fact, I'm wearing Chanel's Intense Matte Lip Color in Extreme just to vacuum my house. I have a short crew cut in silver and black and I can't wait for my hair to turn white! Thank you Nikol for showing us that we can do what we want and not let society put strains on what older women should do. Just be you but better and as CC would say "If you are sad, add more lipstick and attack."
I love this lady! Her voice is so soothing and clear. I love watching her. I have learned so much!
Just don t hear criticism without sense. Be on your positive trail, always saying good things, constructive words, that is your beautiful mission!!!
I just subscribe to you channel. Thank you for showing us ITS OK to be who you are. I really enjoy your channel. 🌻🌻🌻🌻I've been really down. I've not put my makeup on in a month. I just don't feel beautiful. Watching you I've came out a little bit. I did get my makeup out. But I've not made it to putting it on. Thank you. U are beautiful inside and out.
Love you. Love your video. Love your tips. I'm so stuck in a rut when it comes to make up. Doing the same thing for the past 20 years and to afraid to try something new. Professional make up artists make it look so easy. But I will definitely try some new things. Thanks for sharing.❤
Nikol, This Video has really helped me so much! You are amazing and I appreciate all that you do for women my age. It really shows how much you really love what you do because you cannot FAKE helping and explaining to us how to do apply our make correctly to make us GEORGOUS! Thank you - thank you- thank you :)
Hi Nikol, I Loooove your videos, this one especially , concerning the blush technique. I am a 58 year old black american lady and would like to know if I can use the brown or a deep brown eyeliner? I would prefer that especially in spring and summer months. I also started greying at the edges of my hairline at about 22 or 23 years of age. The rest of my hair is still black. I so appreciate you talking about greying this has helped me SOOOOO much. You are the BEST.😚
O
Amazing video! I'm going through crazy things with chemotherapy and losing my eyesight on top. So,wow skin changes, eyeliner, and brow tips as well, thank you! This really made so much sense to me in this juncture of my life. Appreciation sweetheart! New sub.
Great video! Thank you Nikol for this informative video!❤️❤️❤️🐾🐾Happy Valentine’s Day to one of my very -very favorite UA-camr!!
I completely love your attitude! You are the best! Great tips and a real boost every time I watch you! Thanks as always.
Great tips- thank you, Nikol! Truly appreciate you recommending product alternatives to your line, as I was able to save $ by getting the Joah foundation (even less expensive when ordered direct from their site!) and buy your fabulous concealers. Very pleased with ALL purchases and continue to gain confidence in using everything because your videos are so fun and helpful. Merci!
Nikol, I love the way you explain everything so well in your videos. You have helped me so much. I really appreciate you! I love your hair, the style, the thickness, & beautiful natural color! You are beautiful!❤️
Thank you Ann 😘😘😘
Oh my gosh when you were doing Sandra Harts make up she looks absolutely gorgeous
I'm 66 and, thanks to you and your tutorials, I'm experimenting with your make-up and I'm beginning to like how I look. Before, I thought at 65 I was hideous. Many many thanks! 😘
Sweetie you are so beautiful. Thank you for all the great ideas I am going to be 58 in 3 months letting my grays grow and I don't care about what people think or say.😀
Amazing tips as always. You're definitely my go-to expert in all things beautiful and elegant. Thanks for boosting women.
I’m going to get those silver jean pins! I lost 62 lbs & as my sizes go down or I’m in between. My jeans are always sliding down my butt!
Good job!!
Congratulations! You deserve a new pair of jeans that shows off your new, svelte figure! ❤️
@@Joelswinger34 thank you!
@@hiannahgus574 you’re so sweet...thanks!
Another fabulous video full of so many tips for us, you look so pretty in your valentine sweater and makeup!! Thank you:)
Thank you Tina ❤️❤️
Very much appreciate these tips, Nikol - thank you! I’m turning 72 in two months’ time and am dealing with eyebrows that are sparse and rapidly going gray, thinning lashes, and not seeing quite as well when applying the eye makeup I so love and enjoy wearing. Thank you for encouraging us wherever we are on our respective journeys to move forward boldly and retain an element of “fun” along the way. The Lightness of Being, I term it.
You are just SPECIAL AND UNIQUE! Than you Need lol always being true to yourself and for all your invaluable teachings. ♥️❤️💕
Silver lining! I love it!! Thank you for your fierce & fiery self!
I really needed this video today. I live in a cold climate, I'm feeling like a reptile with my skin so dry. In turn I feel it makes my fine lines more visible. I've started a new skin care routine to combat this, so make up tips like these really help. 🤗
I love your vids! You are an absolute BLESSING, Nikol! Keep ‘em coming- Angels have your back!
Thanks for all the helpful tips! I don’t mind if you have hair on your shoulders, lol! It happens! Beautiful top!
Thank you! You're amazing! I need a complete make-up makeover!! I'm so stuck in a rut. I've used the same colors for the last 30 Years! Lol. How embarrassing but true.
I watch you because you keep it real. And you are so honest. I am from England. THANKS.
I have dark brown eyes ,deepest set, and wear glasses for extreme nearsightedness. I have always loved medium to dark green eye liner
Great stuff -- we are living longer and we need to be beautiful at every age -- I'm 76 and always trying new looks and new weights (lost almost 40 lbs 9 months ago.) We need to take good care of ourselves so that young people are inspired. Two weeks ago a 26-year old guy said to me in Old Town (Colorado city) "Lady, you're rockin it!" (white hair, hot pink t-shirt and rosy red cowboy boots) I asked "Is it the boots?" He replied "No, it's that pink color; it looks great on you!" We give them hope that there IS a future.
With hair as gorgeous as yours, who cares if one's on your shoulder, lol? Great tips, Nikol, and SO.MUCH.FUN. I love watching you and all your great advice. Thank you, and, have a wonderful weekend! Rosemarie 💖🌹
Beautiful as always! Thanks Nikol for all you do for us more mature ladies.
You are amazing! I’m feel so confident after I watch you. Thanks
40's is still young, but when I get to be 40, I hope I look as beautiful, youthful and have a positive attitude like you!❤️
I just want to let you know Kikol that I'm getting better at applying my make up. Thank you so much for your demonstrations.. Love!
