Thanks Lisa. You’re the only person on RUclips that helps us in our 50’s not look foolish. Just know - you are adored for all your help to us “older gals” who still love makeup
Honestly, both sides look amazing. Maybe the luminous side is more for everyday wear and the matte side more for special occasions. But I liked both equally.
@Ruby Kitty Agreed. Besides, I really dislike light eyeliner placed in the inner rim - It competes with the white in your eyes and makes them look not only artificially 'wider' (actually smaller) but also more tired and the eye white appears darker and more unhealthy looking. Shimmer/shine on the cheeks always emphasizes large pores. I do agree that matte lipsticks are not good choice for mature lips (or any lips IMO), since they are rather unpleasant to wear. I agree that medium to sheer coverage foundations are better choice than 'heavy' ones, but texture has to meet the skin needs. To me, both sides looked good, too, our right side being more evening/occasion make up. Skin appeared more flawless on the 'heavy' side as well. May I suggest tutorials which actually caters to realistic daytime, every day looks - done in daylight not in studio environment. That might help getting a real picture how certain technique or product actually works when we step out from the house during the day. Best regards to all!
You really have a gift for teaching! Thank you so much! Every one of your videos has one or more golden nuggets of knowledge that helps me understand how to apply make up in a better way! Love that you focus on “beyond 20s” make up and make it so pleasantly fun!!
Great video, Lisa, I honestly love both sides. To me the right side is an “every-day-daytime “ look while the left side is a beautiful, more sophisticated evening look. I’m 76 and I’d wear both looks. Very pretty.
There's a beauty filter on, I wish she'd turn it off. Search for Wayne Goss Beauty filter on RUclips to see how it affects the look of your skin. I'm sure she has great skin anyway!
I can't get over how beautiful the "don't" side looks! I like the eye makeup, blush and lips and everything on that side way more than the other side. The skin texture and creasing is more pronounced on the do/ right side.
Sindhu M Jay it looks more textured now but that’s because she just applied her makeup. If she had comeback and shown us 4 hours later, the texture on the “now” side would be the same and the don’t side would be looking cakey, smudged and textured. It just doesn’t hold up well on more mature skin through the day. That’s why she said that the full coverage looks great AT FIRST but then after a few hours , really goes downhill, whereas if you use a lighter coverage the look stays beautiful all day
Great video! As a 52 year old woman who is just now learning how to wear makeup, I truly appreciate this video. Your right side does look more dewy and youthful. One new trick I'm going to try is softer lips. I tend to wear matte lipstick, which I agree, isn't the most flattering for my 52 yr old lips. ❤❤❤
Extremely informative! Looking hydrated is definitely the key for mature skin, and I really like that look at any age. Less and creamier blush made all the difference! Sheer foundation is a must. Light-reflecting shadow on the lid a must. Thanks, Lisa!
I'm an older lady that loves makeup but I think I'm going to lighten up on my eye makeup now that I like the way you have applied it. Love watching you & thanks for the great tips!!
Very helpful to this 47 year old! I have been afraid to try cream or liquid blush but I am going to give it a go! I have found I do not need near as much coverage at this stage of life! Keep fulfilling your purpose! Love your zest for life and your kind heart!
I've found that keeping my brows as full as possible, and not over tweezing a specific shape, has made such a big impact in keeping a more youthful look. Thankfully over tweezing in the early 90's didn't kill my brows!
I overtweezed and one brow is way more sparse than the other because my tweezing also involved trying to match 2 mismatched brows. I’m thinking of doing some microblading. .
@@juliedaly2317 I've been there for sure. About 4 months ago I started using Babe Lash in my brows and have been blown away by the results. You definitely have to be committed to crazy looking brows as they grow, but it might be something to try before microblading.
Curlygirljj thanks! i’ll check this out. my daughter is getting married in august so i’d like to have them looking better and not be worrying if my brow products are melting off my face in the chicago summer heat.
I’m doing a full brow video it pretty much covers everything different products how are use them and using brow stencils which for me has been a game changer since I have one wonky brow in my browser on even the stencils have been a lifesaver and you would be surprised at which ones worked for me and which ones did not as I test out the top brands on the market! I’m currently working on editing the video I am hoping to have it up today! It is pretty I depth tho so may be a bit long but I did it for those who are brow challenged like myself!
Of all the RUclips Beauty People for mature or even young people. I like yours best! The fact you take the time to show every step of application is most helpful!
I literally thought you were already wearing makeup before you started video..you just have the most beautiful skin Lisa..and thank you for all the tips..we all need these the older we get!!!
I understand what you're trying to do, because I'm older and had to stop with the heavy makeup/youtube tutorials, because they were not flattering on me at all. I've switched to Bare Minerals BB cream aka Complexion Rescue. And I've also eased up on the heavier eye makeup, and I'm going more for the "natural" look. It is definitely more flattering than what I used to do. However .... you may want to wait a few more yrs, because after watching this, both sides of your face were lovely. I didn't see any of the "flaws" you talked about. You're still too young to show what you were wanting to show. ☺ But I get it ... since I'm at that stage you were wanting to prove. Maybe get an older model in there so people can see what happens when you've got that mature skin, and trying to look 20. And I actually still have very good skin. I get compliments all the time about no wrinkles, and how lucky I am. But even with that, it still shows the flaws of pores and texture ... ugh. Anyway, you're still a kid .... you'll have wait 10 more yrs or so. ☺☺☺
I totally agree with you! Less is certainly more when it comes to makeup on “aging” skin. I usually prefer a tinted moisturizer as my base or sometimes just some concealer on certain areas of my face. Love your videos ❤️🤗
Thank you so much for doing this video! You are the first make up RUclipsr that I have seen mention the difference of doing makeup in front of lights and the difference it makes walking out into natural light. I grew up with a mother who did makeup so I new the difference of tv/commercial makeup as opposed to everyday and it would surprise me to see women walking around with tv makeup at the mall. Also, as a middle aged woman, I appreciate you presenting the effectiveness of soft makeup when our skin starts ageing.
A drug store version of this video would be great. I’d rather spend my hard earned money on skincare (including a high quality sunscreen) than cosmetics. I do love your comparison between techniques for older and younger skin.
Why watch a makeup video if your going to complain and profess to being more concerned about skincare? Weird. Also, she used drug store products in this video.
I love this video! I always appreciate the “why” aspect of make up, and you answer without even trying 😄 Also, I really appreciate the mix of department store/Sephora lines with drugstore/Target brands! It’s so refreshing, you’re not a beauty snob but really just look for the good products! So glad I found your channel
Very helpful, thank you! I am almost 50 and have never tired liquid/cream blush products. Now I will have to try them. Please do more videos of this kind with recommendations. Thank you!
This video is TRUTH 🙌🏼 I no longer wear heavy liquid foundation, tretinoin use has refined my skin nicely and I find it looks best with just a good primer and a little powder foundation on top. I loved the eye techniques in here as well, the ‘now’ side is goals for me ❤️ please do more makeup tutorial and product review videos for those who want to look younger!
Really liked the topic and side-by-side demo of this video. I have been looking at liquid blushes - more of a flush of color. Your changed side definately looks great and more youthful! Thanks, Lisa
I enjoyed this very much, Lisa. Thirty years ago I thought the most full coverage was the bomb, but no longer. Many blessings, and much joy...MaryEllen
What I love most about you is that you haven’t packed your lips with ridiculous amounts of filler. PLEASE stay on this track, because you’re completely beautiful and relatable as you are. ♥️ I’m already doing most of what you’re suggesting here, so I’m glad to know I’m headed in the right direction. Could you please let us know in the title if you’re using drug store or high end products in the video? I’m at the point where I don’t watch high end videos because I’m never spending my money on high end products and also I don’t want to fall in love with something that’s not realistic for my budget - especially when SO many drug store brands have really stepped up their game (like Milani and I love amore shine!!) Thanks for keeping it real, and have a happy day! 🦋
Love this kind of videos Lisa! Wow such a difference! I have pretty good lashes but as I've gotten older I've stopped putting mascara on my bottom lashes...it just draws attention to my under eye wrinkles. Thanks for another great video Lisa!
Your so pretty! I totally agree that less is more as we age. I’m 44 and this past year I’ve found myself using more neutrals. I feel like bold colors age me more and a softer look instead of matte definitely makes me look younger. I have to be careful with shimmer though, only in certain places and more in the summer. Sending love from Texas (chambers county)!
Hey Lisa! This was such a good video, my problem with the liquid blush is that it takes off my foundation and then my redness shows through--I may try this CT one and see how it does! 💗 Lisa
Try a gel blush, and put it on very gently. I could never wear all that makeup in the daytime. Even at night I would only be able to wear a third of what is shown on her right side. She wears it well though, and I do like her "new way" of doing things, and see the old way almost as the makeup you would wear in a play, if you were on stage or something.
Hi Lisa. Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us. I actually like both sides-the right side for everyday wear, the left for a dramatic night time look! I do see your points, though. The right eye and blush really opens up your face.
Lisa, your skin is absolutely gorgeous. I am surprised that you wear any coverage at all, but, for the rest of us, thank you for sharing them... some of are clueless. :)
Boy, that "back in the day" side sure looks familiar! It's aging, quite the opposite of what I want. I still find myself doing my blush that way & find it never looks right. I'd love a drugstore version of the lighter, fresher looking blush and a foundation too please. This is one of my fav videos you've done. Great job, Lisa!
Thank you, Lisa for doing this. I know I am a bit late watching this but I can really relate. A couple of years ago, my foundations were not working, I really didn't know why I was having a hard time with my make up application. I, like you, have always used a lot of make up when I was young and I always looked fine. But lately, those same techniques make me look clownish. I finally figured out that as I was aging my skin was changing and just couldn't absorb the make up anymore. I finally started to pump my moisturizer into my foundation which made the foundation work better on my skin. I am currently using Estes Lauder Futurist foundation and even though it was formulated for older skin, I find I still have to add some moisturizer to thin it out. The less I use the better. And my goodness, I have spent so much money trying different concealers, they all crease. I currently use, I think a L"Oriel drug store product which is an eye cream/serum and concealer. That seems to work best. I have toned everything down now, blush, eye shadow and lipstick. Gosh I miss the old days when anything I put on looked fabulous. Getting older is a challenge. Thanks again. :-)
64, pores I never had when I was younger and broken capillaries that are hard to conceal and not be cakey with very fair skin just to make the redness of the capillaries even more prominent
@@mschief-central4940 , I had broken capillaries. My sister, brother and I, all 3 of us had them taken of with a laser in the 90s, and they never came back! U do have to be careful with sun exposure and also don't do anything which causes flushing. Alcohol consumption, high BP and blushing make them appear, & often rosacea is to blame, which U can get medicated gel to help w/thst. Just wanted to share what worked 4 us.
Tammy's Ageless Beauty I just turned 66 a week ago. I just pulled up your videos and I subscribed. So, I will be watching your videos now also. You are stunning as I only dream to be. My photo was taken just last year, so I don’t feel too bad about myself. I like to try new products that will keep me looking fresh. See you soon 🌹
This is a great video, thanks Lisa. I'm in my 50s and wear tinted moisturiser so would love a segment on comparing what's on the market. I will start to wear lighter shades of eyeshadow on my lids and see how that looks. I have already used a number of your techniques and find they work really well. Cheers! Tiina xx
Im 56 and Ive had to stop wearing brown eyeshadow. I would come home from work and I'd look so tired and old. I now wear peach/pink eyeshadow. It makes such a difference.
IKR! Some days it look like I had black eyes. I would only use the Browns in my crease and use a lighter color on my lids but at the end of the day when everything was moving and smudged, it was pitiful LOL!! I use a matte cream color all over my lids. If my outfit is more on the brown shade noon I tend to reach 4 red or burgundy eyes my darker crease & outer lid color, but VERY sparingly!!
Great video! I didn’t realize how many of those tips I’ve been doing as well. I’ve also made a conscious effort to add SPF to my skincare routine, something I rarely did in my 20’s!
The CT blush is amazing. It brightens the cheek rather than the heavy matte blush which drags the cheek down. I also don’t like lining the inner rim of the eye with a dark color. Thank you for your advice. ❤️❤️❤️
I love these types of videos, Lisa. Thank you & please keep educating us!💐 I’ve never been a heavy makeup wearer, but everything you are saying & showing totally makes sense.
Thank you for this video I needed this seeing my makeup don’t set the same anymore as it did 5 years ago. I love Charlotte Tillbury her makeup is stunning, unfortunately I can’t afford it all so I have a request for a Charlotte dupes video.. 💋💋💋Another request can you do a drugstore light makeup look for aging skin video ? I get so overwhelmed and need some guidance. Especially for concealers for under eyes that are dry and have fine lines, seems every concealer I try sit and creases in those little fine lines. Thank you Lisa so much your one of my favorites! 💖
Hi Lisa! I haven't been catching your videos lately but wanted to see what you've been up to. I really love videos like this, they are so helpful to me because I'm close to your age (a little bit older) but I can use so many of your ideas!
Hi Lisa, This is the second of your videos that I’ve really enjoyed. Would you recommend a primer before applying any makeup? I love how the right side of your face looks over the left. It’s definitely more natural and dewy. I’m 81yo & that’s a better look for me.
I came here only to ask WHY are you wearing ANY foundation??? Your bare skin is more beautiful than with foundation! Of course you could then add blush, eye makeup, etc. (You look extremely good with the foundation, but beyond amazing without it!) -Great video!
Exactly! I think it's safe to say that her skin is simply too flawless (in her 40's!! Wow! ) to do a "do's & don'ts" of aging gracefully video! 😂 But, she did have very good advice for all of us. My rule of thumb is to critically examine (once a year on my B-day) how my face looks at the end of the day, in order to edit down my makeup routine & add to my Skincare routine. We get so busy all day, & just want to get our makeup off asap, that we hardly see our faces. It's just better not to really look. (I apologize for my winded reply, here.) I hope this made some sense. ☺️
It’s called modern technology. When skin looks too good to be true on camera, that’s because it probably is. Please don’t feel bad about your own skin. These you tubers have expensive lighting and camera filters that make their pores completely disappear. It’s actually very misleading. After watching enough of these, you can totally tell the ones who are use filters. They appear not to have a pore or line on their face.
Love your new look, so much lighter, brighter soft and natural. On fair skin bronzers appear to make everyone look harsh older. Light touch only. Agree with full coverage foundation being heavy, ditto for most mattes and waterproof foundation too!
Great video! (You look gorgeous on both sides, though.😊) Oh and to get more use out of my harsh looking liquid liner pens that have a great formula, I've been running a stiff angled brush across the tip and applying that way.
Girl, your skin looks perfect with no makeup! I am 59 and do agree that less is more, particularly in the area of full coverage foundations. Thanks for the video. You're beautiful!
This was great. I am in my 40's and have never been gifted with makeup application skills. This helped me skip some things, that although I find attractive on others, wouldn't give me the look I would like.
Great video! I loved the eyeshadow techniques. I’m 51 and have been a makeup fan for years and am constantly reading up on it. I have several techniques. I don’t have wrinkles but my skin is sagging. A few tips I use: Foundation: I place it on my face but around the edges. If I place in the t zone area, my pores full. Eyeliner: I tightline my upper lash w black waterproof kohl when I’m done with my makeup. I start with the eye that saga more. I do this until it looks even. Powder: I use banana pressed powder and use a beauty blender to pat in. I only do this in the t zone. Contour: I contour and highlight my face with cream products before foundation if I want a more glamorous look. Sometimes I’ll blend it slightly before foundation. Sometimes I just put the foundation over it. This is a scott Barnes technique...he’s J Lo’s makeup artist. Primer: I have a hard time w primer bit looking right. I’ve been using the tata illuminating primer moisturizer lately and I love it. Powder: when I’m done I use ethereal powder from Hourglass all over my face. It blurs so nicely!
Love your looks & video! The eye makeup on both sides looks great ,even the blush on both! Could you do a video on how to contour aging skin as well as diff face shapes? I apologize if you've already done this. Love & light, yr such a doll! 🐘🐝🕊🦉🎃
I like each side for different reasons. The glam side is great for night as it makes everything pop more. The lighter version is nice for just an evey day look. I did enjoy your tutorial. 💗
I have just discovered your content. I Love your videos!! Thank you for your easy-to-follow tips. I appreciate that you don't talk down to your audience, and you are genuine. I also appreciate that the rate in which you speak is easy on the ears, vs. a million miles a minute! I teach first grade and I have four teenage sons, so I value my quiet time. You are very soothing to listen to. When I binge-watch several videos after dinner I feel as if I am having some much-needed girlfriend time.
I'm working on 65 and have struggled with dark circles my entire life. I have tried all types of concealers over the years. While I am still in search of that miracle concealer I have found that using the beauty blender works best for me in the under eye area. And, less is definitely more as we age! Great video!
One thing I do now is apply cheek colour higher on my cheekbones. If blush drops too low, it drags the face down. I also don't like a blush that's too shimmery/glowy. It does give a nice glow, but it tends to accent texture, which I don't want. A matte blush with a hint of glow, applied lightly, works best for me. I also like to apply a hint of blue (using a blue/grey pencil) on the bottom lash line. It helps to brighten and counteract any redness in the eyes.
Loved this video Lisa. I love the fact that you showed 2 sides and how makeup application changes. Thank you for the great tips as I’m learning all over again how to apply makeup and look more youthful.
Perfect Lisa, great tips for anyone and all ages other than teens. The less is more that older women tend to think is ok but less does not have to mean blah or nothing. It is how you apply the color and how much so thanks for showing us how to do that❤️
Enjoyed this info! I am turning 60 next week and am still learning a lot. If you could give some tips for my age I would appreciate it. I want to look natural with enough color not to look washed out. Thanks
This was so helpful.... I think I”ve been rimming my eyes too dark and although I love to do it- (not the waterline) but just all the way around, I can’t wait to try the technique you showed on the more ‘youthful’ side.. what a big difference. Amazing... Thanks!
Thanks for the video Lisa - it was really neat and so helpful! I’ve been trying to be ‘less is more’ and this video included a few things to help! Keep up the amazing videos!
I see more glowey makeup for older skin; however, my older skin has definitely more texture than when I was younger. Glow and dewy products only seem to emphasize this. I wish tutorials would address this.
Sharon Shade so true! I have ever largening pores and the full coverage foundations don’t show my texture as bad. But maybe it’s my primer too. But I have tried the dewy foundations and it shows my pores SO BAD.
Oh my gosh I’m so glad to hear about the full coverage! I am 43 and have found my tried and true everyday foundation routine no longer serves me well😬.
I learned that I am applying way to much eyeliner! Very helpful tips especially the eyes! What a difference! Thank you - I like your videos. They are very helpful since I am 47.
Ridiculously wonderful job! One thing I took from this (and there were so many valuable nuggets for aging gals) is that the darkness all over the lid casts a dark countenance on the inner corner of the eye where it meets the nose. This was so valuable for me as I already have darkness there and do NOT need to add any sources of darkness. I am going to do my makeup this way today and see how it impacts especially my eye area. Note self: get those BK Beauty brushes!!!
Since many of your brushes are out of stock. Could you put a waiting list that takes our email addresses to let us know when they become available again?
If I had your skin I would not wear any makeup at all! Your skin is flawless. How about a video on what you use for skin care?
Skin in the screen is good,but in person there is blemishes and freckles
I second that!
She's beautiful
100% I need that video
She's wearing makeup.

That's what I was thinking. One looks like day wear other night wear.
I agree. The heavier side is just as pretty and should be used at night or formal occasions.

I hate to sound stupid but what benefit do CC creams have? I am really intrigued
Jeana Stewart I’m 50, and I use the Osmosis CC cream as a primer or alone. It has more radiance, less coverage, and doesn’t settle in my wrinkles.
Please tell me what brands do you wear?
Tonya Suttie What is a CC cream and what brand do you use? I’m the same vintage lol as you. Thank you.

Nat Herron It’s not a complaint, it’s a request.
I love this video! I always appreciate the “why” aspect of make up, and you answer without even trying 😄 Also, I really appreciate the mix of department store/Sephora lines with drugstore/Target brands! It’s so refreshing, you’re not a beauty snob but really just look for the good products! So glad I found your channel
Yay! Thank you!
Your skin is perfect as is. If I were you I wouldn't wear any foundation!
Agreed! I thought her skin had already been perfected! Beautiful!
She clearly has foundation on or some type of video filter. She 's beautiful, but don't be fooled.
Very helpful, thank you! I am almost 50 and have never tired liquid/cream blush products. Now I will have to try them. Please do more videos of this kind with recommendations. Thank you!
Love the dewy look of the foundation on the lighter makeup side.
Thanks Elaine!
Thank You Thank You Thank You. I have watched soooooooo many makeup videos for more mature women and yours is the first that I can make sense of. 👍🏻💕
So glad it was helpful! xoxo :)
OMG! Before you started applying the foundation I thought you had makeup on. Your skin is gorgeous.
Awww thanks so much Rachael!
This video is TRUTH 🙌🏼 I no longer wear heavy liquid foundation, tretinoin use has refined my skin nicely and I find it looks best with just a good primer and a little powder foundation on top. I loved the eye techniques in here as well, the ‘now’ side is goals for me ❤️ please do more makeup tutorial and product review videos for those who want to look younger!
I really like your teaching techniques. Aside from the “then & now” I like how you explain why you are using and what you do it for 😁👍
Really liked the topic and side-by-side demo of this video. I have been looking at liquid blushes - more of a flush of color. Your changed side definately looks great and more youthful! Thanks, Lisa
I enjoyed this very much, Lisa. Thirty years ago I thought the most full coverage was the bomb, but no longer. Many blessings, and much joy...MaryEllen
Thankyou girlfriend very much because I love makeup too because I am a girl at heart 💄😇👀❤️😍💆
I agree with your new ideas for eye makeup because I am older too!😇💜💕👀
Yes, even though I will be 66 in a few days, I still am a girl at heart too. Blessings..MaryEllen
What I love most about you is that you haven’t packed your lips with ridiculous amounts of filler. PLEASE stay on this track, because you’re completely beautiful and relatable as you are. ♥️
I’m already doing most of what you’re suggesting here, so I’m glad to know I’m headed in the right direction.
Could you please let us know in the title if you’re using drug store or high end products in the video? I’m at the point where I don’t watch high end videos because I’m never spending my money on high end products and also I don’t want to fall in love with something that’s not realistic for my budget - especially when SO many drug store brands have really stepped up their game (like Milani and I love amore shine!!)
Thanks for keeping it real, and have a happy day!

Great video!!! Loved the difference the lighter blush application makes!!
Love this kind of videos Lisa! Wow such a difference! I have pretty good lashes but as I've gotten older I've stopped putting mascara on my bottom lashes...it just draws attention to my under eye wrinkles. Thanks for another great video Lisa!
Thanks for mentioning the video lighting. Wayne Goss demonstrated the effects of lighting recently. It really defuses and filters the face.
Your so pretty! I totally agree that less is more as we age. I’m 44 and this past year I’ve found myself using more neutrals. I feel like bold colors age me more and a softer look instead of matte definitely makes me look younger. I have to be careful with shimmer though, only in certain places and more in the summer. Sending love from Texas (chambers county)!
Great! Thank you so much :)
Hey Lisa! This was such a good video, my problem with the liquid blush is that it takes off my foundation and then my redness shows through--I may try this CT one and see how it does! 💗 Lisa
Try a gel blush, and put it on very gently. I could never wear all that makeup in the daytime. Even at night I would only be able to wear a third of what is shown on her right side. She wears it well though, and I do like her "new way" of doing things, and see the old way almost as the makeup you would wear in a play, if you were on stage or something.
Hi Lisa. Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us. I actually like both sides-the right side for everyday wear, the left for a dramatic night time look! I do see your points, though. The right eye and blush really opens up your face.
I needed this video ! I’m looking older when I apply makeup , I’m 46 and doing my makeup same way I did in my 20’s.
NN 41 here... started wearing makeup in my late 30’s but would watch the youngins here on RUclips. This video was helpful!
Lisa, your skin is absolutely gorgeous. I am surprised that you wear any coverage at all, but, for the rest of us, thank you for sharing them... some of are clueless. :)
Boy, that "back in the day" side sure looks familiar! It's aging, quite the opposite of what I want. I still find myself doing my blush that way & find it never looks right. I'd love a drugstore version of the lighter, fresher looking blush and a foundation too please. This is one of my fav videos you've done. Great job, Lisa!
Thank you, Lisa for doing this. I know I am a bit late watching this but I can really relate. A couple of years ago, my foundations were not working, I really didn't know why I was having a hard time with my make up application. I, like you, have always used a lot of make up when I was young and I always looked fine. But lately, those same techniques make me look clownish. I finally figured out that as I was aging my skin was changing and just couldn't absorb the make up anymore. I finally started to pump my moisturizer into my foundation which made the foundation work better on my skin. I am currently using Estes Lauder Futurist foundation and even though it was formulated for older skin, I find I still have to add some moisturizer to thin it out. The less I use the better. And my goodness, I have spent so much money trying different concealers, they all crease. I currently use, I think a L"Oriel drug store product which is an eye cream/serum and concealer. That seems to work best. I have toned everything down now, blush, eye shadow and lipstick. Gosh I miss the old days when anything I put on looked fabulous. Getting older is a challenge. Thanks again. :-)
Every 10 years I have made changes....NOW at 60...everything changes almost daily...the struggle is real!! LOL
I see you girlfriend - I'm 62 and adjust my skin care and makeup all the time.
I’m right there with you lol! ❤️
64, pores I never had when I was younger and broken capillaries that are hard to conceal and not be cakey with very fair skin just to make the redness of the capillaries even more prominent
@@mschief-central4940 , I had broken capillaries. My sister, brother and I, all 3 of us had them taken of with a laser in the 90s, and they never came back! U do have to be careful with sun exposure and also don't do anything which causes flushing. Alcohol consumption, high BP and blushing make them appear, & often rosacea is to blame, which U can get medicated gel to help w/thst. Just wanted to share what worked 4 us.

I just turned 66 a week ago. I just pulled up your videos and I subscribed. So, I will be watching your videos now also. You are stunning as I only dream to be. My photo was taken just last year, so I don’t feel too bad about myself. I like to try new products that will keep me looking fresh. See you soon 🌹
Appreciate the demo compared to just verbal instruction. Visual teaching is so much more effective - Thanks Lisa ♥
Thank you so much!
I love the way you do the "now" side of your blush and eye makeup!
This is a great video, thanks Lisa. I'm in my 50s and wear tinted moisturiser so would love a segment on comparing what's on the market. I will start to wear lighter shades of eyeshadow on my lids and see how that looks. I have already used a number of your techniques and find they work really well. Cheers! Tiina xx
Im 56 and Ive had to stop wearing brown eyeshadow. I would come home from work and I'd look so tired and old. I now wear peach/pink eyeshadow. It makes such a difference.
Good to know! Thank you so much Tracy!
I totally agree with you, I look withered when using the brown shades.
IKR! Some days it look like I had black eyes. I would only use the Browns in my crease and use a lighter color on my lids but at the end of the day when everything was moving and smudged, it was pitiful LOL!! I use a matte cream color all over my lids. If my outfit is more on the brown shade noon I tend to reach 4 red or burgundy eyes my darker crease & outer lid color, but VERY sparingly!!
Less is always more ! Beautifully illustrated 😋
Flawless.. soft & beautiful!
I no longer rim my water line, looks so dated on me.... but the upper one I do because helps hide my sparse lashes.... your video was grrrreat 🥰
Hands down....BEST VIDEO EVER!!!!!
Great video! I didn’t realize how many of those tips I’ve been doing as well. I’ve also made a conscious effort to add SPF to my skincare routine, something I rarely did in my 20’s!
The CT blush is amazing. It brightens the cheek rather than the heavy matte blush which drags the cheek down. I also don’t like lining the inner rim of the eye with a dark color. Thank you for your advice. ❤️❤️❤️
I love these types of videos, Lisa. Thank you & please keep educating us!💐
I’ve never been a heavy makeup wearer, but everything you are saying & showing totally makes sense.
Enjoyed watching you putting it on camera step by step and watching the slow transition, what a difference it made. Thank you those were great tips
Thank you for this video I needed this seeing my makeup don’t set the same anymore as it did 5 years ago. I love Charlotte Tillbury her makeup is stunning, unfortunately I can’t afford it all so I have a request for a Charlotte dupes video.. 💋💋💋Another request can you do a drugstore light makeup look for aging skin video ? I get so overwhelmed and need some guidance. Especially for concealers for under eyes that are dry and have fine lines, seems every concealer I try sit and creases in those little fine lines. Thank you Lisa so much your one of my favorites! 💖
Alexandria Cosentino try the maybeline FIT ME loose powder. That’s a good one
Maybelline age rewind is a very light consistency concealer
Audra Schwarz that’s a good concealer. I also like the born this way multi task concealer, my fine lines aren’t exaggerated and it’s creamy
Hi Lisa! I haven't been catching your videos lately but wanted to see what you've been up to. I really love videos like this, they are so helpful to me because I'm close to your age (a little bit older) but I can use so many of your ideas!
You are still young enough to wear the darker look. But I do get the idea of being softer as you get older. Thank you.
Hi Lisa, This is the second of your videos that I’ve really enjoyed. Would you recommend a primer before applying any makeup?
I love how the right side of your face looks over the left. It’s definitely more natural and dewy. I’m 81yo & that’s a better look for me.
I came here only to ask WHY are you wearing ANY foundation??? Your bare skin is more beautiful than with foundation! Of course you could then add blush, eye makeup, etc. (You look extremely good with the foundation, but beyond amazing without it!)
-Great video!
Exactly! I think it's safe to say that her skin is simply too flawless (in her 40's!! Wow! ) to do a "do's & don'ts" of aging gracefully video! 😂 But, she did have very good advice for all of us. My rule of thumb is to critically examine (once a year on my B-day) how my face looks at the end of the day, in order to edit down my makeup routine & add to my Skincare routine. We get so busy all day, & just want to get our makeup off asap, that we hardly see our faces. It's just better not to really look. (I apologize for my winded reply, here.) I hope this made some sense. ☺️
It’s called modern technology. When skin looks too good to be true on camera, that’s because it probably is. Please don’t feel bad about your own skin. These you tubers have expensive lighting and camera filters that make their pores completely disappear. It’s actually very misleading. After watching enough of these, you can totally tell the ones who are use filters. They appear not to have a pore or line on their face.
Love your new look, so much lighter, brighter soft and natural. On fair skin bronzers appear to make everyone look harsh older. Light touch only.
Agree with full coverage foundation being heavy, ditto for most mattes and waterproof foundation too!
Great video! (You look gorgeous on both sides, though.😊)
Oh and to get more use out of my harsh looking liquid liner pens that have a great formula, I've been running a stiff angled brush across the tip and applying that way.
Yours tips are right on the money Lisa! Love your channel.💓💓💓
The only thing I would add is a primer. A MUST, especially for anyone 40+💋
Girl, your skin looks perfect with no makeup! I am 59 and do agree that less is more, particularly in the area of full coverage foundations. Thanks for the video. You're beautiful!
Thank you so much Gina!
This was great. I am in my 40's and have never been gifted with makeup application skills. This helped me skip some things, that although I find attractive on others, wouldn't give me the look I would like.
Actually the smoky side makes your eyes bigger :) Wish that was the case for me.
Melania Gheorghe I agree. Definitely looks better/brighter in the eyes.
Yeah. I think the white tightline in the lower lid doesn't look good on anyone.
@@aoutsky I totally agree! It doesn't look natural at all.
Great video! I loved the eyeshadow techniques. I’m 51 and have been a makeup fan for years and am constantly reading up on it. I have several techniques. I don’t have wrinkles but my skin is sagging.
A few tips I use:
Foundation: I place it on my face but around the edges. If I place in the t zone area, my pores full.
Eyeliner: I tightline my upper lash w black waterproof kohl when I’m done with my makeup. I start with the eye that saga more. I do this until it looks even.
Powder: I use banana pressed powder and use a beauty blender to pat in. I only do this in the t zone.
Contour: I contour and highlight my face with cream products before foundation if I want a more glamorous look. Sometimes I’ll blend it slightly before foundation. Sometimes I just put the foundation over it. This is a scott Barnes technique...he’s J Lo’s makeup artist.
Primer: I have a hard time w primer bit looking right. I’ve been using the tata illuminating primer moisturizer lately and I love it.
Powder: when I’m done I use ethereal powder from Hourglass all over my face. It blurs so nicely!
Love your looks & video! The eye makeup on both sides looks great ,even the blush on both! Could you do a video on how to contour aging skin as well as diff face shapes? I apologize if you've already done this. Love & light, yr such a doll! 🐘🐝🕊🦉🎃
Omg that’s was me 😱😱🤣🤣🤣
Wow thanks for sharing this tips I’m glad I found your channel and brushes 💝🤗is a gift for my life🥰🥰🥰
beautifully done ❤️
I like each side for different reasons. The glam side is great for night as it makes everything pop more. The lighter version is nice for just an evey day look. I did enjoy your tutorial. 💗
Lisa: “things I did in my 20s and early 30s...”
me: huh? You look 23!!
I have just discovered your content. I Love your videos!! Thank you for your easy-to-follow tips. I appreciate that you don't talk down to your audience, and you are genuine. I also appreciate that the rate in which you speak is easy on the ears, vs. a million miles a minute! I teach first grade and I have four teenage sons, so I value my quiet time. You are very soothing to listen to. When I binge-watch several videos after dinner I feel as if I am having some much-needed girlfriend time.
I love the way you did this video and think it was such an informative video! Thank you ❤️
Lisa, I love this video. really. The natural look and the way you do makeup now is how I like to do my own. Just love it!
Loved both sides 😂 Thank you ♥️xxx
margaret miller i agree😄
Me too! Her left side was more dramatic for evening. The right side more fresh for everyday. 😍👍
YES! I was torn, both look great!
I'm working on 65 and have struggled with dark circles my entire life. I have tried all types of concealers over the years. While I am still in search of that miracle concealer I have found that using the beauty blender works best for me in the under eye area. And, less is definitely more as we age! Great video!
Despite being such a cutie pie, you are so relatable 😊😊😊
I agree your skin in absolutely beautiful 😊
Thanks for another wonderful video! ❤️
One thing I do now is apply cheek colour higher on my cheekbones. If blush drops too low, it drags the face down. I also don't like a blush that's too shimmery/glowy. It does give a nice glow, but it tends to accent texture, which I don't want. A matte blush with a hint of glow, applied lightly, works best for me. I also like to apply a hint of blue (using a blue/grey pencil) on the bottom lash line. It helps to brighten and counteract any redness in the eyes.
Loved this video Lisa. I love the fact that you showed 2 sides and how makeup application changes. Thank you for the great tips as I’m learning all over again how to apply makeup and look more youthful.
Great techniques for those of us with more time on our skin. 😉
Perfect Lisa, great tips for anyone and all ages other than teens. The less is more that older women tend to think is ok but less does not have to mean blah or nothing. It is how you apply the color and how much so thanks for showing us how to do that❤️
Enjoyed this info! I am turning 60 next week and am still learning a lot. If you could give some tips for my age I would appreciate it. I want to look natural with enough color not to look washed out. Thanks
Happy Early birthday! If you don't already, try a natural satin finish foundation and a cream blush... its so beautiful and hydrating!
This was so helpful.... I think I”ve been rimming my eyes too dark and although I love to do it- (not the waterline) but just all the way around, I can’t wait to try the technique you showed on the more ‘youthful’ side.. what a big difference. Amazing... Thanks!
This has been really helpful. What I learned is to tone down my blush. 😂 thank you.
Me too! I still often look after I'm finished and I'm like wow I just got it to dark again. A little goes such a long long ways.
Thanks for the video Lisa - it was really neat and so helpful! I’ve been trying to be ‘less is more’ and this video included a few things to help! Keep up the amazing videos!
So happy to hear! Thanks so much Steph!
I see more glowey makeup for older skin; however, my older skin has definitely more texture than when I was younger. Glow and dewy products only seem to emphasize this. I wish tutorials would address this.
Sharon Shade so true! I have ever largening pores and the full coverage foundations don’t show my texture as bad. But maybe it’s my primer too. But I have tried the dewy foundations and it shows my pores SO BAD.
Yeah I can't seem to get it right with the balance of dewy and matte, my fine lines, texture and pores seem to be put on blast no matter what
HipUsername FOR REAL
Yesss highlighters do me the same way!! It shows all my aging texture
Oh my gosh I’m so glad to hear about the full coverage! I am 43 and have found my tried and true everyday foundation routine no longer serves me well😬.
Your tips were so helpful. What about contour? I have a round face...
I learned that I am applying way to much eyeliner! Very helpful tips especially the eyes! What a difference! Thank you - I like your videos. They are very helpful since I am 47.
Wow your eyes look GREAT on both sides, however I do like the powder blush cheek better.
Thank you Lisa, I most always learn something new & helpful for adding to my look!😉😀
I have more pigmentation and hyperpigmentation on the outward perimeters of my face. So I have to start on the outward areas.
Stephanie Keith me too!
Both of you... Me three❣😘
Practical and easy to do make up! Im also in the transition of using less make up as I age, thank you for sharing these tips♥️
Thanks Mica!
All the people with hooded eyes cringed when you slapped on that brown.
Ridiculously wonderful job! One thing I took from this (and there were so many valuable nuggets for aging gals) is that the darkness all over the lid casts a dark countenance on the inner corner of the eye where it meets the nose. This was so valuable for me as I already have darkness there and do NOT need to add any sources of darkness. I am going to do my makeup this way today and see how it impacts especially my eye area. Note self: get those BK Beauty brushes!!!
Since many of your brushes are out of stock. Could you put a waiting list that takes our email addresses to let us know when they become available again?
Oh. My. Goodness. Lisa your skin looks FANTASTIC!!!
