Thank you, Nikol. We ladies over 70 are often constrained by a fixed income budget, and a product that costs more than our age would only be worth the splurge if it exceeded expectations. I find that in both beauty and nutrition, there are people willing to make all sorts of claims without basis, and it takes some due diligence to suss out the truth. Showing beautiful young women in their 20s while marketing to "mature skin" is much like supplement companies selling us everything from shark cartilage to ground-up rocks (for the calcium, doncha' know) is shameful. I appreciate you. Thanks for being honest.
$75!! Martha can aford that, most of us can't, that price is ridiculous. I realized when I turned 50 I started to become invisible. I am 70 now and you can't tell I look old....yep......because I am invisible.
The moment you said it feels a little dry to me it looked like it was dragging. Was it? I’m glad you are testing this product. I’m almost 50 and it is sad that when you turn 50 the beauty industry likes to push the age out. Do they forget we have the money to spend? Thank you for always being truthful on all the products you test. It is hard to find and I truly appreciate it.
This video is why I enjoy & appreciate you and what you do. You offer products "that work" on mature skin; all price points and you enjoy the process of finding options for everyone. You are never just "selling" your products and in my humble opinion you are selling your honesty & integrity about doing your work. THAT is what comes through and I really appreciate that. Can't wait for your Aging Series to get started again as watching those videos because they are so joyful! Thank you Nikol for all you do!
Totally agree with you. Wonderful to have professional guidance and see what works. It's a complete minefield out there searching for the right product for our skin. Looking forward to the new upcoming fierce aging series too.
I was once a Cle de Peau sales ambassador and although I did enjoy the concealer, I must admit I agree the price is way over the top. I have since discovered many many more concealers that are far better at a fraction of the price. Thank you Nicole for your honesty, I am sure all of your followers as well as myself appreciate it.
For what it’s worth, I am 49 years of age and I have been using the Charlotte tilbury beautiful skin radiant concealer in number 7. I am an NC 30 in MAC for reference and let me tell you it is SO GOOD! It has some blurring magic or something to it because my under eyes look bright and almost filter like. I set it with Laura Mercier loose powder the one everyone uses and it’s just a wonderful duo. Highly recommend. I have the cleu de pau however it’s spelled, LOL. I do like it, to me this formula is better than the older one but let’s remember that we are all different ladies. Have a wonderful day full of magic everyone ♥️🙏✨✨✨
Good morning Nikol! Thank you for your dedication to weeding out what doesn’t work for mature women’s skin in a world of makeup that is being produced high rates of speed! 💕
Hi Nikol. I recently purchased some of your products. The eye primer, mascara, and your foundation blending brush! I love your products! I will never use another mascara but yours! I’m 61 and am so happy to have found your channel. Thanks for helping us aging ladies!! ❤
I’m so thankful that you are there on our behalf checking items out ( yourself as well). Your honesty on products is so refreshing and your caring of products that you test for 50 and above is just wonderful. Thank you so much! ❤
I love watching your channel, & learning from you. I am 50, & I can see I have such different needs with my skin than I did at 30 & 20. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't seem like there is much out there to help mature women along their journey in life. I recently found that out with menopause. There are so many commercials and advertisements helping girls when they start their period, but it is a hush hush secret when it comes to the menopause phase. I guess the world thinks of a aging woman as less desirable, and that hurts so much. I think that there is beauty at all stages of life, and just because someone is aging they should not be left out. The bottom line is if the young people keep living, then one day they will become or considered "mature, aged, or old". You're absolutely beautiful, and thank you for teaching me so many helpful things!!
Yes, my body has changed, and so have my needs I am 70, and most products don't work for me. PLEASE, do a video for we older ladies can learn from. We need the help!
Nikol, so happy and thankful you do the vetting for us. The price is ridiculous !! I am so happy you're being back Fierce Aging this Fall.... I'm 70, have been using make up since I was 14 (mostly high - end vendors...) but now use drug store products. I use Wet & Wild based on your trials. I really trust you !
I am so glad I found you! You are a treasure for those of us who are struggling to find products that work and not waste our money. I am 71 and my skin is not the same as it was in my 20’s. Thank you!
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your honesty when it comes to skincare/makeup for mature skin. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Love this channel!
Thank you for addressing all women even over 100! All women want to be beautiful. Life doesn’t end at 30. Women over 50 have worked hard, gained wisdom and have money!
Nikol! You are so glam and I really appreciate your being honest with us gals over 50!! It is so frustrating to find someone who is truly concerned about aging and wanting to help her UA-cam community look their absolute best and accept aging with grace and beauty! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Love yr videos!
Thank you so much for testing these products and giving us your honest opinion. I am 67 and have tried so many "holy grail" concealers but ended up having issues with all of them. I have recently started using a new to me brand called Fiera. So far I am loving the concealer- not drying, minimal settling & creasing and nice coverage. I have not tried any of their other products, but they claim to be for mature skin.
Try the Arianna Grande concealer- I am 70 and have good skin (still). This concealer has 40-50 shades and feels like pudding - it’s moist but has great coverage. A small dot has great coverage- didn’t crease or crinkle on me. Stays moist looking if you don’t set with powder. Costs $24
Nicole, you look beautiful! I appreciate you helping women over 50. I am 65, and have okay skin, but I am struggling with dark circles, under my eyes. Ive tried under eye contrast, concealer, nothing seems to work. I hope and pray, they will come up with something medically that will help. Thank You for what you do!❤
Holy Grail concealer is Nikol's Just Peachy-omg, so luxurious, smooth, skin matching...I'm 59, and the concealer makes me look beautiful and ready for make up application IF I CHOOSE TO.❤
Thanks so much Nikol. Without you, I’d sort of feel lost with which products to invest in. At 65, I’m definitely part of the ‘forgotten’ demographic and look forward to the return of your Fierce Aging series.
Thank you for your authentic reviews of products especially for the 60s plus age range. Our budgets require us to get the best bang for our buck especially for cosmetics! I especially love your tips and products to use to best meet my needs. 🥰💖💖💖💖
I really appreciate your full review, in particular the background of a product, which I think does make a difference when making a decision to purchase an item.
As a 59 year old woman, I appreciate your videos dealing with aging skin. It's ironic that the beauty industry ignores us while we have the disposable income and numbers to greatly influence profits. I have pretty good skin but am on a constant quest to find skincare and makeup to help with hollows around my eyes and puppet lines around my mouth. Any suggestions? I feel these are common issues with aging skin but never see videos addressing them. Not everyone has bags under their eyes. Some of us have hollows and need help camouflaging them. I'm constantly looking for the holy grail concealer and techniques for that. Thank you so much for looking after us mature women!
My 40 year old daughter is very frugal, but she tried La Mer samples and was impressed so she bought full size products. I only see her in person 2-3 times a year as she lives far from me. When I saw her this summer I was shocked by the amazing appearance of her skin. If one expensive hyped brand delivers, at least for my daughter, it's been La Mer. Nikol, can you test Jones Road for us? I've only seen younger gals trying it out. Thanks for all you do. ❤
Oh I wished I had seen this a few months ago. I went back and forth on buying this and finally got it. I was so disappointed when I put it on. It was so heavy!! I can’t believe I paid that much for something that adds about 10 years to my face.😳 Thank you for your honest reviews.
I can’t believe that anyone suggests that Cle de Peau stick concealer is the holy grail for older women!!! Every review I have ever watched confirms that it is a big no no if you have any dryness. My Cle de Peau SA definitely told me to stay away from it. This was my holy grail in my 30’s and 40’s but it added 10 years to my age by the time I was in my 50’s. My new favs in my 70’s are Sisley and Dior Forever- neither crease and both create a beautiful smoothness.
Very beautiful look!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad this popped up in my feed. Must try Champs and Sweet Carol. I SO DISLIKE FAD MAKEUP. Yours seems to stand the test of time, and I know this channel would NEVER recommend anything that hadn't been tried and tested. It truly makes a difference to have genuine (not fad) information. I always know I will get the truth here, good, bad, or ugly. Thanks Nikol! xxx
I find that just using the Wet 'N Wild photofocus foundation gives me nice coverage under my eyes. If I don't want to wear foundation for the day,I take just a tiny amount of this and use it as my concealer. I'm 67.
So good of you to review products!! You are the consumer report on makeup!! I’m turning 72 next week and I’m kind of a homebody however, I love the way you treat us more mature ‘ladies’!! And I don’t like to spend a lot of money on products so I appreciate what you do! Looking forward to the Fierce Series!! 🥰
Thanks for all your beauty advice!! I love that you are crazy about cosmetics!! I have hooded eyes, and has surgery for the problem, which was a big “FAIL”!! Did not return…the pain was too horrible. So, any advice, short of surgery, is welcome!!❤
I love your honesty. I talk about you in my videos that I use your brushes, your BB Cream, your eye primer...I just think that it's important to follow someone you can trust. Do I do everything that you say on your channel? No, but I always watch to see what you have to say and I enjoy your honesty.
Thank you, you are most honest, and I have bought on others recommendation, and I do not like the foundation (however I did buy a cover girl foundation you recommended, and it makes my skin feel rough for some reason, I do love your recommended Este Lauder and Milani products). Should have known better watching young women, before I found you, so I have wasted money I do not have to waste. But I have now the products you recommend and so far, I love them. Thank you from Mexico!
Nikolai, I am in my 60's and I have issues with my eyebrows. My eyebrows are thinning and getting very light. Would you do a tutorial for mature eyebrows?
Nikol, thank you so much for this video. I am so fed up with some of the skincare and makeup available to me as I live in Western Australia and I am 66 years old. We pay really high prices here even for pharmacy (drugstore) items. The marketing is just to get you to buy the item, get it home and it is horrible. A lot of the item we purchase have no testers or we can't return them if they don't work out, so that is why I watch videos like yours. I appreciate all the trouble and expense you go to just so you can help us decide on cosmetics. Again thank you.
RE Cle de peau Concealer! That is so frustrating that they don't test things on people over 60! I am 76 and that is one reason I watch you! Big thank you:)
I gave Pixi' s new foundation a try. It is so pretty. It stays on and keeps a fresh look all day. I am really happy with it. Your Brushes are great and next on my list of have to Have! That creamy Chanel Foundation is gorgeous you have on. Thanks Nikol! I have to add, thanks for the prices.
Thank you Nikol! I've always wondered why these products always use ambassadors who are truly are not the true representatives for the majority. Thank you for putting it out there!
Really enjoy your honest informative videos. I am 73 snd I agree less is more. You want to look soft and illuminating. I have used almost all of chanels foundations including the one featured. The vitalumiere aqua is beautiful too for everyday. Also their correcteurs echo your steps. Also that brand is very natural looking and actually cheaper than others. Keep up the good work snd hopefully employ more chsnel products. I am I'm canada. I mmm
I feel I must comment on the Cle de Peau products. I am 68-year-old woman who is always searching for a great foundation, concealer, etc. I researched the Cle de Peau line on the internet. I decided to take the plunge and try the Cle de Peau products. I went to the Neiman Marcus counter and the sales ambassador 'matched' my skin to the foundation. I was skeptical, as the foundation looked too dark and 'orange' for my preference, but I purchased it anyway. Totally, I spent over $2200 dollars on products, and they are still sitting in my make-up case. The foundation, at $250, is very heavy and way too orange for my skin color. I agree with Nikol that the concealer is too dry, and on my skin, cakes and falls into my wrinkles. In fact, I feel my eyes look much more wrinkled than they are with this concealer. I did/do like the finishing powder. The skin care products are very scented and do not do the job I am looking for. Presently, I use products from my Plastic Surgeon, and I think my skin is in good shape for my age. I purchased several lipsticks and I do like the 'lip glorifers' and clear lip sunscreen. I wish I would have waited for your review of the Cle de Peau products, as you always give an honest straightforward review that women can trust. Thank you Nikol for being there for those of us who are over 60!
Hi Mary with that kind of investment you made and you are not happy with the product maybe they would consider letting you get other products that might fit you better! $2200 sitting on your countertop is not adding to your beauty life!!!! I think it’s worth a shot if it was recently purchased.
Nikol, good for you contacting that company! That is wrong to be ambassadors for a product for age 70 and have young women say it’s good. Definitely did your research. 👏 Bravo
I would love to be a part of your Fierce Aging series! I'm turning 61 this month although I believe age is just a number. I totally concur that mature women are extremely under represented in the beauty and fashion industries and would love to be a player in turning that around. 😊❤
I brought this product 4 months ago and have struggled every time I use it. I wasted my money. Thank you for calling them out.! The foundation for this brand only works 50% of the time. And I’m frustrated. I turn 60 in Dec and am so frustrated with this whole makeup/fashion industry. Thank you again.
Hi Nikol, I used to work in cosmetics (Borghese and Erno Laszlo to mention a few) and the main thing I found most important information when helping a client was - what is this person doing during the day? What is her environment, climate, indoors, outdoors, etc. People like Martha Stewart who are under hot bright lights, whether being photographed or on film, these environments contribute a lot of different scenarios. Not to mention all the touch ups! I'm know you know all of this, but in the case of Cle de Peau concealer, it also has sunscreen, which naturally covers heavier in most cases. Personally, at 65 years old, I find that the price doesn't mean best. I love ELF products, and there are many wonderful "drugstore" brands. Goes to reason why many of them have been around for decades! I use your eye primer, and find it to be perfect for me and love that I don't have to guess at a color match! Thanks for all your guidance and expertise!
I have learned so much about the feeling of the product. I used to just put a product on and live with it. You have taught me something new. I am not a makeup wearing individual and the less is more for me. thank you. Leaned Revelon, and now I know I have better options.
I’ve tried it and felt it was too heavy and settled into fine lines. I use their skincare and have been happy with their eye and moisturizer. I have used their “Radiant Corrector for Eyes.” It’s much lighter and works well. I never understood why the concealer was so popular. The company is now owned by Shiseido. Thank you, Nikol, for your honest review. So very helpful.
I think you are amazing! I stumbled upon your site and fell in like with your make up techniques! I just turned 62. I am like qhat happened who am I???? Thank You for showing it's going to be ok.
Many thanks, Nikol, for another honest review of 2 pricey products. I use to use Cle de peau concealer years ago, but it just became too expensive for me, and I found that other, less expensive concealers did the job very well for me. I was a little surprised to hear that you did not care for the Chanel mascara. I would have thought that it would have worked well. I'm happy to hear your honest opinion. You saved me alot of money with your reviews of these 2 products. P.S. I love the lipstick and eyeshadow colors you are wearing!
Nikol, your mascara is far the best! I love the formula-it does not leave clumps and sticks on my lashes. And i am a fan of the brush , I have moderate amount of natural lashes for a 56 year old, your mascara makes my lashes look amazing. thank you
So good, Nikol! I love to see the eyeshadows you like because we have similar coloring. The Sweet Carol palette is beautiful- I love using those colors, so I'm going to buy it. My first Nikol purchase! It seems whenever I have a makeup question, up pops your video with the answer! Update: I ordered the Sweet Carol palette, mauve eyeliner, mascara, and peachy concealer. Can't wait to try them out!
I love this look the best on you!!! So beautiful! At 65, I never lost my oily skin. I only look good in Australian Gold sunscreen. I wish I could wear a foundation because I love makeup.
Thank you for featuring the CdP concealer and doing a GRWM. I took advantage of the Sephora sale to purchase the CdP concealer - for reference, I am closer in age to 70 than 60. It is a tricky concealer to work with on mature under-eyes. I found it requires “priming” of my under-eyes with an eye cream and a thin layer of light-coverage concealer (I like Kaja’s) - furthermore, I use a brush that is akin to a lip brush and I crinkle my eyes as I pat on the CdP concealer. This provides the best and least crease-y concealing for my under eyes.
I was just at the Chanel counter yesterday and almost purchased this new mascara. I am glad I saw this because I was contemplating going back to purchase. I realize everyone likes different products,but there are so many on the market that it is getting increasingly more difficult to choose. I appreciate your reviews. More products than not don't work for mature skin. It is so easy to get caught in the media hype and waste money and time. I was wondering if you might review some of the Jones Road products. Thanks for all you do!!
I have a review on Jones road WTF and the miracle balm. Also I have been using the new Chanel mascara and it’s really terrible flakes and doesn’t give lashes that wow. I would stick with the Chanel volume I think this one is really about the packaging not the formula in my opinion.
Nikol, you are fast becoming my favorite channel. Thank you for your candor. For many years I have not followed any celebrities or products they recommend. It's all a sham, marketing ploys and Cle De Peau's price points are ridiculous for the "quality".. or lack thereof. I'm all about clean makeup, especially for my eyes because their so sensitive now to chemicals in makeup. P.s I'm working on an order on your site , really excited to try your eyelid primer among other products - the recession has just hit us hard in New Mexico. Soon will purchase, though! Appreciate you and love your videos!
I so enjoy your videos for mature beauties and being so honest in the process of ageing gracefully, I wished your brand of cosmetics shipped to Australia 🇦🇺 as I’d love to be able to purchase them, I don’t understand companies that keep using these young people to promote their products when it’s our generation that can afford them without breaking the bank, more companies need to get more mature women and men to promote products, seeing a 20 something year old or even a 30 something year old promoting products does nothing for me, plus most of them have been photoshopped to make the models look absolutely flawless when in reality they’re not. Please Please start shipping internationally soon, I keep checking your website and it just keeps saying soon, But How Soon will it happen 😢…!!!! Have a Great Week Nikol, always love your content. Cheers from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺❤️❤️
I used to use this in the 80s, but eventually switched to Bobbi Brown corrector/concealer in the 90s. Now I use your Peachy shade to correct and I'm always looking for the next concealer for me. I think I've tried them all at this point, but find Laura Mercier and Armani Fabric to work best currently. Dark under eye circles without bags is a family inheritance. LOL
Relatively new to your videos, I need to go to your library to see how to deal with my face and make-up. Love your results and product research. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent and truthful video, thank you as always!!! BTW, I love your eye primer, just received and very happy with your product, do you suggest use below the eye at all?
Nikol. I must Bsayhowmuch I love your channel.your hair is simply stunning and the eyebrowswell,they are perfect for you and your faceYou are so very talented and so giving....big soft hug:)
I am fairly new to your channel and am so very happy I found you. I am 69 years young and am learning so much from you. I thank you bunches. When I was growing up, there was never any help for the average woman and you are truly a blessing to us. I could see the concealer in the video also and never have, in any of the other videos. Thanx again for your contribution to uplifting us, women.
I use this concealer and it’s super heavy so I just use it in inner corner where it is super covering the darkness and doesn’t need to move over wrinkled skin. I also use it to cover any pigmentation spots that aren’t covered by my light foundation. So spot concealing. It works super well but not for the under eye where it’s too thick to flex with wrinkles. So maybe people are buying it for that and I honestly can’t find anything as good for my specific way of using it.
I just knew you would take that concealer off! Thanks for trying it though. I like Nars concealer, I'm 70 years old. Although I like the Nars very much, I'm always looking for something better. Also, I just ordered the Just Peachy because I have darkness under my eyes.
Thank you, Nikol. We ladies over 70 are often constrained by a fixed income budget, and a product that costs more than our age would only be worth the splurge if it exceeded expectations. I find that in both beauty and nutrition, there are people willing to make all sorts of claims without basis, and it takes some due diligence to suss out the truth. Showing beautiful young women in their 20s while marketing to "mature skin" is much like supplement companies selling us everything from shark cartilage to ground-up rocks (for the calcium, doncha' know) is shameful. I appreciate you. Thanks for being honest.
👏👏👏 well said
So true they think we’re desperate & stupid.
Well said! Thank you!
Truth!
$75!! Martha can aford that, most of us can't, that price is ridiculous. I realized when I turned 50 I started to become invisible. I am 70 now and you can't tell I look old....yep......because I am invisible.
Martha had plastic surgery!
Yep invisible....
It’s funny, I am 53 and you are so right… at around 50, invisible….. 😢
The moment you said it feels a little dry to me it looked like it was dragging. Was it? I’m glad you are testing this product. I’m almost 50 and it is sad that when you turn 50 the beauty industry likes to push the age out. Do they forget we have the money to spend?

When and where is your store opening. Will you be announcing it.
I was once a Cle de Peau sales ambassador and although I did enjoy the concealer, I must admit I agree the price is way over the top.
I have since discovered many many more concealers that are far better at a fraction of the price.
Thank you Nicole for your honesty, I am sure all of your followers as well as myself appreciate it.
Please share your discovery
Favorite concealers??? Do tell.
And they are…
What are your Holy Grail concealers?
For what it’s worth, I am 49 years of age and I have been using the Charlotte tilbury beautiful skin radiant concealer in number 7.

I love that you review products honestly. Nobody needs to buy blindly, especially if it's expensive. Great tutorial as usual! 💜💜
You have helped me on “placing” eye shadow and it finally makes sense for me. I’ve been wearing eyeshadow now lately and I feel so pretty. Thank you.

Yes it’s true unfortunately
Thank you so much for testing these products and giving us your honest opinion. I am 67 and have tried so many "holy grail" concealers but ended up having issues with all of them.

Nikol , I received a message to text Telegram that I had won. Prize from your channel. I knew it was a scam and reported
Thank you Nikol for your honesty and the fact that you try out the product before you endorse it!!! I love your channel!!!
Nicole, you look beautiful! I appreciate you helping women over 50. I am 65, and have okay skin, but I am struggling with dark circles, under my eyes.

I have pretty good skin but am on a constant quest to find skincare and makeup to help with hollows around my eyes and puppet lines around my mouth. Any suggestions? I feel these are common issues with aging skin but never see videos addressing them. Not everyone has bags under their eyes. Some of us have hollows and need help camouflaging them. I'm constantly looking for the holy grail concealer and techniques for that. Thank you so much for looking after us mature women!
Absolutely LOVE your color corrector! No one else has the peach color that just works for an everyday look or when doing an evening look!
I am really glad that you are able to help all of us navigate through all these products. 😊
My 40 year old daughter is very frugal, but she tried La Mer samples and was impressed so she bought full size products. I only see her in person 2-3 times a year as she lives far from me. When I saw her this summer I was shocked by the amazing appearance of her skin. If one expensive hyped brand delivers, at least for my daughter, it's been La Mer.
Nikol, can you test Jones Road for us? I've only seen younger gals trying it out.
Thanks for all you do. ❤
Yes, please test Jones Road. Thank you
Oh I wished I had seen this a few months ago. I went back and forth on buying this and finally got it. I was so disappointed when I put it on. It was so heavy!! I can’t believe I paid that much for something that adds about 10 years to my face.😳 Thank you for your honest reviews.
You look lovely. Thank you for being so honest. Us retired women live on a budget, so try to use only products we must have.
I put it under my foundation and I love it. It maybe heavy because you put on two layers. It's has good coverage a little goes along way.
Heavy from the very first swipe
I can’t believe that anyone suggests that Cle de Peau stick concealer is the holy grail for older women!!! Every review I have ever watched confirms that it is a big no no if you have any dryness. My Cle de Peau SA definitely told me to stay away from it. This was my holy grail in my 30’s and 40’s but it added 10 years to my age by the time I was in my 50’s. My new favs in my 70’s are Sisley and Dior Forever- neither crease and both create a beautiful smoothness.
Very beautiful look!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad this popped up in my feed. Must try Champs and Sweet Carol. I SO DISLIKE FAD MAKEUP. Yours seems to stand the test of time, and I know this channel would NEVER recommend anything that hadn't been tried and tested. It truly makes a difference to have genuine (not fad) information. I always know I will get the truth here, good, bad, or ugly. Thanks Nikol! xxx
I find that just using the Wet 'N Wild photofocus foundation gives me nice coverage under my eyes. If I don't want to wear foundation for the day,I take just a tiny amount of this and use it as my concealer. I'm 67.

@@NikolJohnson I'm sorry, is this reply to me? Just seeing it for the first time.
So good of you to review products!! You are the consumer report on makeup!! I’m turning 72 next week and I’m kind of a homebody however, I love the way you treat us more mature ‘ladies’!! And I don’t like to spend a lot of money on products so I appreciate what you do! Looking forward to the Fierce Series!! 🥰
I chuckled at your honest comments about the concealer and mascara. I love it!!😊
Thanks for all your beauty advice!! I love that you are crazy about cosmetics!!
I have hooded eyes, and has surgery for the problem, which was a big “FAIL”!!
Did not return…the pain was too horrible. So, any advice, short of surgery, is welcome!!❤
I love your honesty. I talk about you in my videos that I use your brushes, your BB Cream, your eye primer...I just think that it's important to follow someone you can trust. Do I do everything that you say on your channel? No, but I always watch to see what you have to say and I enjoy your honesty.
Thank you, you are most honest, and I have bought on others recommendation, and I do not like the foundation (however I did buy a cover girl foundation you recommended, and it makes my skin feel rough for some reason, I do love your recommended Este Lauder and Milani products). Should have known better watching young women, before I found you, so I have wasted money I do not have to waste. But I have now the products you recommend and so far, I love them. Thank you from Mexico!
Nikolai, I am in my 60's and I have issues with my eyebrows. My eyebrows are thinning and getting very light. Would you do a tutorial for mature eyebrows?
Start using Latisse for your eyelashes and eyebrows. Mine grew in and stay thick.
Nikol, thank you so much for this video. I am so fed up with some of the skincare and makeup available to me as I live in Western Australia and I am 66 years old. We pay really high prices here even for pharmacy (drugstore) items. The marketing is just to get you to buy the item, get it home and it is horrible. A lot of the item we purchase have no testers or we can't return them if they don't work out, so that is why I watch videos like yours. I appreciate all the trouble and expense you go to just so you can help us decide on cosmetics. Again thank you.
RE Cle de peau Concealer! That is so frustrating that they don't test things on people over 60! I am 76 and that is one reason I watch you! Big thank you:)
3/4 of a century this year! The Queen became the Queen when I was 4! Looking forward to your next series!
I gave Pixi' s new foundation a try. It is so pretty. It stays on and keeps a fresh look all day. I am really happy with it. Your Brushes are great and next on my list of have to Have! That creamy Chanel Foundation is gorgeous you have on. Thanks Nikol!
I have to add, thanks for the prices.
Wonderful revealing video, Yes, it sure is hard for us ladies in our 70's to find the right
products. However, we have YOU to guide us. Many thanks.

Thank you Nikol! I've always wondered why these products always use ambassadors who are truly are not the true representatives for the majority. Thank you for putting it out there!
Really enjoy your honest informative videos. I am 73 snd I agree less is more. You want to look soft and illuminating. I have used almost all of chanels foundations including the one featured. The vitalumiere aqua is beautiful too for everyday. Also their correcteurs echo your steps. Also that brand is very natural looking and actually cheaper than others. Keep up the good work snd hopefully employ more chsnel products. I am I'm canada.
I mmm
OMG. that new Chanel mascara is form over function. I love your honesty.
Sweet carol colors are just beautiful 😊
I feel I must comment on the Cle de Peau products. I am 68-year-old woman who is always searching for a great foundation, concealer, etc. I researched the Cle de Peau line on the internet. I decided to take the plunge and try the Cle de Peau products. I went to the Neiman Marcus counter and the sales ambassador 'matched' my skin to the foundation. I was skeptical, as the foundation looked too dark and 'orange' for my preference, but I purchased it anyway. Totally, I spent over $2200 dollars on products, and they are still sitting in my make-up case. The foundation, at $250, is very heavy and way too orange for my skin color. I agree with Nikol that the concealer is too dry, and on my skin, cakes and falls into my wrinkles. In fact, I feel my eyes look much more wrinkled than they are with this concealer. I did/do like the finishing powder. The skin care products are very scented and do not do the job I am looking for. Presently, I use products from my Plastic Surgeon, and I think my skin is in good shape for my age. I purchased several lipsticks and I do like the 'lip glorifers' and clear lip sunscreen. I wish I would have waited for your review of the Cle de Peau products, as you always give an honest straightforward review that women can trust. Thank you Nikol for being there for those of us who are over 60!
Hi Mary with that kind of investment you made and you are not happy with the product maybe they would consider letting you get other products that might fit you better! $2200 sitting on your countertop is not adding to your beauty life!!!! I think it’s worth a shot if it was recently purchased.
Thank you, Nikol! I couldn't pay that to begin with but I would hate to see people who can spending that kind of money and being disappointed.
Nikol, good for you contacting that company! That is wrong to be ambassadors for a product for age 70 and have young women say it’s good. Definitely did your research. 👏 Bravo
I would love to be a part of your Fierce Aging series! I'm turning 61 this month although I believe age is just a number. I totally concur that mature women are extremely under represented in the beauty and fashion industries and would love to be a player in turning that around. 😊❤
You are so pretty, I don’t wear makeup because I don’t know how to do it and I doubt that I would ever come close to looking as lovely as you do.
I brought this product 4 months ago and have struggled every time I use it. I wasted my money. Thank you for calling them out.! The foundation for this brand only works 50% of the time. And I’m frustrated. I turn 60 in Dec and am so frustrated with this whole makeup/fashion industry. Thank you again.
Do the frustrated Debbie this is why I am here on UA-cam! Together we figure it out and navigate this crazy mature beauty space 🥰🥰
Hi Nikol,
I used to work in cosmetics (Borghese and Erno Laszlo to mention a few) and the main thing I found most important information when helping a client was - what is this person doing during the day? What is her environment, climate, indoors, outdoors, etc. People like Martha Stewart who are under hot bright lights, whether being photographed or on film, these environments contribute a lot of different scenarios. Not to mention all the touch ups!
I'm know you know all of this, but in the case of Cle de Peau concealer, it also has sunscreen, which naturally covers heavier in most cases. Personally, at 65 years old, I find that the price doesn't mean best. I love ELF products, and there are many wonderful "drugstore" brands. Goes to reason why many of them have been around for decades!
I use your eye primer, and find it to be perfect for me and love that I don't have to guess at a color match!
Thanks for all your guidance and expertise!

I can't wait for "Fierce Aging " !🥰
I have learned so much about the feeling of the product. I used to just put a product on and live with it. You have taught me something new. I am not a makeup wearing individual and the less is more for me. thank you. Leaned Revelon, and now I know I have better options.
I’ve tried it and felt it was too heavy and settled into fine lines. I use their skincare and have been happy with their eye and moisturizer. I have used their “Radiant Corrector for Eyes.” It’s much lighter and works well. I never understood why the concealer was so popular. The company is now owned by Shiseido. Thank you, Nikol, for your honest review. So very helpful.

I think you are amazing! I stumbled upon your site and fell in like with your make up techniques! I just turned 62. I am like qhat happened who am I???? Thank You for showing it's going to be ok.
Many thanks, Nikol, for another honest review of 2 pricey products. I use to use Cle de peau concealer years ago, but it just became too expensive for me, and I found that other, less expensive concealers did the job very well for me. I was a little surprised to hear that you did not care for the Chanel mascara. I would have thought that it would have worked well. I'm happy to hear your honest opinion. You saved me alot of money with your reviews of these 2 products. P.S. I love the lipstick and eyeshadow colors you are wearing!
Nikol, your mascara is far the best! I love the formula-it does not leave clumps and sticks on my lashes. And i am a fan of the brush , I have moderate amount of natural lashes for a 56 year old, your mascara makes my lashes look amazing. thank you

LOVE your approach and honesty and real-ness!!!
You saved me some money. Everybody that I watched love that concealer. I’m thinking that I was missing out. I’m 64. Thanks.
So good, Nikol! I love to see the eyeshadows you like because we have similar coloring. The Sweet Carol palette is beautiful- I love using those colors, so I'm going to buy it. My first Nikol purchase! It seems whenever I have a makeup question, up pops your video with the answer! Update: I ordered the Sweet Carol palette, mauve eyeliner, mascara, and peachy concealer. Can't wait to try them out!
I love this look the best on you!!! So beautiful!
At 65, I never lost my oily skin. I only look good in Australian Gold sunscreen. I wish I could wear a foundation because I love makeup.
I love this as a concealer for my face!! With no foundation it’s wonderful. Not under my eyes. And I warm it up first.
So happy you give us your honest opinion. That’s very important to us because we trust you!
Thank you
Thank you for featuring the CdP concealer and doing a GRWM. I took advantage of the Sephora sale to purchase the CdP concealer - for reference, I am closer in age to 70 than 60. It is a tricky concealer to work with on mature under-eyes. I found it requires “priming” of my under-eyes with an eye cream and a thin layer of light-coverage concealer (I like Kaja’s) - furthermore, I use a brush that is akin to a lip brush and I crinkle my eyes as I pat on the CdP concealer. This provides the best and least crease-y concealing for my under eyes.
Glad you shared this. I don't need another product that wont work. Ha! Your make looked great.
I was just at the Chanel counter yesterday and almost purchased this new mascara. I am glad I saw this because I was contemplating going back to purchase. I realize everyone likes different products,but there are so many on the market that it is getting increasingly more difficult to choose. I appreciate your reviews. More products than not don't work for mature skin. It is so easy to get caught in the media hype and waste money and time. I was wondering if you might review some of the Jones Road products. Thanks for all you do!!
I have a review on Jones road WTF and the miracle balm. Also I have been using the new Chanel mascara and it’s really terrible flakes and doesn’t give lashes that wow. I would stick with the Chanel volume I think this one is really about the packaging not the formula in my opinion.
Nikol, you are fast becoming my favorite channel. Thank you for your candor. For many years I have not followed any celebrities or products they recommend. It's all a sham, marketing ploys and Cle De Peau's price points are ridiculous for the "quality".. or lack thereof. I'm all about clean makeup, especially for my eyes because their so sensitive now to chemicals in makeup. P.s I'm working on an order on your site , really excited to try your eyelid primer among other products - the recession has just hit us hard in New Mexico. Soon will purchase, though! Appreciate you and love your videos!
Great video, keep it up 🕊️🇬🇧🙌
We all should enjoy our life till the end,like the Queen did 🤗
Good morning! Love all of your color correctors. They do the best job! Love your videos and so glad you are so honest.
Thankyou Nikol for everything you do for us.💕
I so enjoy your videos for mature beauties and being so honest in the process of ageing gracefully, I wished your brand of cosmetics shipped to Australia 🇦🇺 as I’d love to be able to purchase them, I don’t understand companies that keep using these young people to promote their products when it’s our generation that can afford them without breaking the bank, more companies need to get more mature women and men to promote products, seeing a 20 something year old or even a 30 something year old promoting products does nothing for me, plus most of them have been photoshopped to make the models look absolutely flawless when in reality they’re not. Please Please start shipping internationally soon, I keep checking your website and it just keeps saying soon, But How Soon will it happen 😢…!!!! Have a Great Week Nikol, always love your content. Cheers from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺❤️❤️
Totally agree we are working on our international shipping!
Bought your brushes . LOVE THEM !!!!!!!!!!!!❤
So happy to hear Shirley thank you!
Your honesty is so refreshing❤️
Thank you for sharing your opinion when it come to senior age not being reflective in the makeup industry.
Nikol,
You are so amazing! Absolutely love your channel. Thank you for being so genuine ….

I used to use this in the 80s, but eventually switched to Bobbi Brown corrector/concealer in the 90s. Now I use your Peachy shade to correct and I'm always looking for the next concealer for me. I think I've tried them all at this point, but find Laura Mercier and Armani Fabric to work best currently. Dark under eye circles without bags is a family inheritance. LOL
Thanks, Nikol. For exposing the hype! I always turn to you, because you are SO HONEST!

💖💖💖 I SOOOOO appreciate you, your knowledge and recommendations. ALWAYS CLASSY and trust you. Thank you.
Relatively new to your videos, I need to go to your library to see how to deal with my face and make-up. Love your results and product research. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent and truthful video, thank you as always!!! BTW, I love your eye primer, just received and very happy with your product, do you suggest use below the eye at all?
Nikol. I must Bsayhowmuch I love your channel.your hair is simply stunning and the eyebrowswell,they are perfect for you and your faceYou are so very talented and so giving....big soft hug:)
I am fairly new to your channel and am so very happy I found you. I am 69 years young and am learning so much from you. I thank you bunches. When I was growing up, there was never any help for the average woman and you are truly a blessing to us. I could see the concealer in the video also and never have, in any of the other videos. Thanx again for your contribution to uplifting us, women.
Where can I find the video on drug store beauty products. Saw it the lost it
I use this concealer and it’s super heavy so I just use it in inner corner where it is super covering the darkness and doesn’t need to move over wrinkled skin. I also use it to cover any pigmentation spots that aren’t covered by my light foundation. So spot concealing. It works super well but not for the under eye where it’s too thick to flex with wrinkles. So maybe people are buying it for that and I honestly can’t find anything as good for my specific way of using it.
Your makeup looks beautiful. I love Chanel
Thank you
Thank you for your honest review.
I just knew you would take that concealer off! Thanks for trying it though. I like Nars concealer, I'm 70 years old. Although I like the Nars very much, I'm always looking for something better. Also, I just ordered the Just Peachy because I have darkness under my eyes.
Thank you N. Hello…Cle de Peau!!? OMG. Wendy❤️🇨🇦❤️
Your undereye product looks great.
Thank you for being here with us !
