Please, let‘s just strive for a bit of honesty here. Do shinier lipsticks fill in fine lines better and give the lips a fuller appearance? Absolutely. But the whole „when I wear this people ask if I got filler and I‘m like no it‘s just this lipstick and the way I apply it“ thing is really phony here. These are not Marlena‘s original lips. And that is fine and a personal decision. But be up front about it. For those of us, like me, who have been following you since the start, we‘re not blind. Just be honest about it.
It's weird that when we are younger without as much to cover we put it all on, and when we get older and may want more coverage we can't pile it on anymore. I use concealer strategically for my 'foundation'.
The NYX concealer in the pump has been life changing for my dry aging skin - the only product I can wear without looking like a cake face. I use it as foundation. The only product that smooths my skin and doesn't cling to texture you can't otherwise see.
@@kerenkrollI agree. So great as a foundation for us older woman. I just discovered the new makeup forever glow foundation. So beautiful and as an under eye concealer it is awesome.
It' s totally the opposite for me😅. As a goth, the only thing I adoooore about aging is fat pads loss, having chiseled Maleficent-ish features and sunken Willem Dafoe cheeks. Not only I don' t try to soften all these constant changes but I enhance hollows and pointy bones even more✨💀✨. The more harsh the better. Treti-suncreen for a lovely skin, at home device + ATO radiofrequency sessions to keep the lower third in its place and Happy Halloween every day! That 2009 photo🥹, I was there! The nostalgia🥺... In spite of not being the target, anyways THANK YOU you for these beyond useful and helpful tips. What a treat collab💫💫 🧛🏻♀️🖤
Love all of these tips! I'm 29, but even though I'm not over 40 yet, I think these are also great makeup techniques for those of us (like myself) with dry skin, textured skin, and small eyes. Such a great collab video!
I’ve changed my makeup techniques completely as I hit 60. Nothing under the eyes: no concealer, no liner, no mascara. I have fine lines, but they look better without makeup. I start my foundation on the outer edges because that’s where I need discoloration coverage. On my lips I wear a lip pencil that is not creamy and fill in my lips but I don’t take it all the way to the edges since they are beginning to downturn slightly.
I stopped lining my waterline as it made my eyes look tiny. In fact no eye makeup below my eyes. Just concealer. At 64 the problem I'm having is thin lips. No more red lipstick, it just doesn't look good. Kathy B
I can’t do the caterpillar brow. I can’t quit staring at the brows of those that do. Who the frick popularized these abominations?! Then hair spray them to the skin. No. It’s just a no for me. If you love this and I stare at you I’m sorry in advanced.
Thanks for the ideas! I'm older and if I'm going to use eyeshadow a primer is a must. Sometimes I can get away with a matte nude look without having lids that look like a jigsaw puzzle but mostly the lines are there without something to fill the cracks first. Also as I've aged I'm finding cream shadows more forgiving than powder.
I am in my early 60’s. Through trial and error I have adopted most of these tips. It’s good to hear I am on the right track. The one tip I would add is Don’t skip a moisturizing skincare routine prior to makeup application. It takes a little experimentation to find the products which work well under makeup without pilling. In my twenties and thirties I could get away without prepping my skin. Now it’s a must.
Back in the day women used to bathe with their makeup on to get that glowy look to the skin, or lay a moist washcloth over their face. Now we have setting mists that not just put moisture back into the skin but gets rid of that flat matte, powdery and cakey look. The sponge also makes a huge difference to get a more skin like appearance while being able to even out our skin and add color back on the face. Before the beauty sponge, they used those wedges and before that they used their fingers with the warmth of the body to get that seamless look. We’ve come a long way with beauty products and inventions. Now they even sell “skincare” brushes when any brush will do ya.😂
It’s so interesting how everyone’s faces are different. I have horrible pigmentation/melasma around the edge of my face, so I feel like I go heavy with foundation around there and then much lighter towards the middle.
This is a great video! Thank you both! I have probably 20 years on you ladies, and I agree with your statements. I have Rosacea, and I FINALLY learned to use foundation only around and on my nose to cover the redness. As you said, it’s all in the center of my face-but it looks SO much better! The best point you made was that makeup is FUN! We need to TRY things, if it doesn’t work, wash it off! Try something else! I’ve loved makeup since I was TWO! I’m nearly 62, and I adore it! Not stopping now!
I love your collaboration, I only wish you would had shown more affordable options for those of us that can't afford to pay 40.00 for a pressed powder.
Great tips!!!! Lip liner is a must and brown eyeliner and no powder preferred lol but I usually have to on my nose and chin 🤍🤍🤍 thanks girls you are both amazing!!!!
The drunk elephant lip balm has a peptide that restores your lip line I think it’s tri peptide one. I use it every day once a day, and my lip line came back and it’s strong and defined. The lip balm doesn’t last forever or make your lips feel extremely cushy or amazing. It’s a standard lip balm that stays on your lips for a short period of time, but just putting it on that once a day with that peptide in it has brought my lip line back, and if I stop using it, it goes away but when I use it again, it eventually comes back.
Hey Lisa, I’m totally going to put you on the spot here, but… as a single mom to a special needs child, I struggle to afford quality makeup and quality tools. But I manage. However, I cannot manage to afford the BK Beauty makeup brushes. When can we look forward to some affordable pricing on these must have brushes?
I have definitely found Urban Decay's Ozone pencil to be my bestie. it's clear and keeps my lip liner out of my lines, cures bleeding and also the corners of my eyes. It keeps it from seeping in my fine lines. Especially, because I'm either in the heat training dogs or running around the hospital
Marlena you are a huge inspiration to me getting into makeup and starting my channel! You’ve never lost your passion through everything you’ve been through and watching your videos makes me feel so motivated to chase mine too. Thank you for being you! ❤
I'm almost 60 and I definitely see how my eyes are starting to angle downward where they used to be straight across. I compensate by doing a winged eyeliner just at the outer third of my eyes. I may start wearing partial falsies there too, though so far I've stuck to mascara only. I also find it important to treat my face as several faces, instead of applying products all over as if all my skin was the same. It's not the same texture, dry/oiliness, pore size, even color, so why would I think one product would work on my entire face? Makeup winds up either looking unflattering in some spots, or too caked on as I apply additional products to sections trying to compensate for the wrong product applied there in the first place! Instead I just focus on using sponges to blend the edges of how I've treated different sections as they each need to be treated. I think it works. The other day I asked a neighbor if she thought the new foundation I was trying out looked like the right shade for me and she actually commented on my blush. She thought the blush was the foundation, because on the rest of my face she couldn't tell I was wearing anything at all! But yeah, my skin isn't that flawless. I don't look like that with nothing but blush. LOL
I am 49 and black eyeliner was my look until Marc Jacobs closed and took its highliner crayon with it. They stayed and didn't give blepharitis/alergies flare ups.
As you get older creams and liquids I think are a must. They melt into the skin and look so much more natural and flattering, but it also doesn’t last as long as a powder obviously so my question is, Patrick Ta recommends putting a powder blush down then a cream over it to bring back that skin like look to the cheeks and it always looks gorgeous and more natural. I’ve done this with other blushes and get the same result. So why are we told to avoid putting creams and liquids over powders but recently have been told to do that exact thing? Why does it work sometimes and lifts the makeup or causes patchiness etc other times? Also, why do we sometimes get pilling while other times we do not, even if it’s with the exact same products?
As I gotten older, I been wearing less makeup. I used to rock black Smokey eye everyday in my 20’s. I feel embracing your natural beauty and just being confident in your own skin is the best beauty advice I can give in my 40’s Thank you for doing these series! Love both of your channels! Marlena, been watching you even before you had make up geek as a cosmetics company (og muggie). Bought all make up geek eyeshadows and lipsticks. Eyeshadows are some of the best ever!
Yup! The lip liner is a must! I also lean more towards satin shadows on my lid as well. Marlena, I really feel like I have grown up with you, I started my obsession with makeup with you back in 2011. You have been helping me ever since. Thank you ❤
I'm loving the tips. I'm 37 but I also think the beauty trends are leaving the heavy drag queen look anyways. At least for me I'm appreciating a much softer makeup look these days. Partly from COVID and the masks training me to wear less and not wanting to look like one of the many failmales of 2024. They can only imitate us if everyone is wearing womanface masks.
I just realized the matte lipstick does that to me as well. I always wondered why I would look like I had dried up lips. 🤦🏼♀️🙈 No more matte for me. 🫤
MARLENA is above 40? I wouldn't have guessed. What is that gray-ish Brow Pencil colour, please? I see Benefit mentioned but what shade. Will you tell me? I don't think we have PERSONA and that LAWLESS cosmetics in Europe, do we? Does anyone know, please? ♡♡♡ xx..
I'm a L'il Bit older than U2 😉 I know 4 me, I wore black eyeliner in the waterline Back in the Day bc I ALWAYS bc I was looked much younger than ALL my friends, 3-4 yrs. If I was 16 everyone I hung out with was 18-19 & bc I looked 12 @ 16 I thought it made me look older. So it only made sense to STOP wearing it as I hit my 50's 😳 bc something said "if it made me look older when I looked younger than maybe I'll look better w/o wearing it NOW. 🤔 At least that's what I'm hoping for. Your's Truly Gen X Woman Mom and Wife ✌️❤️🕊️🙏 Eyebrows, hmm I've never plucked them bc when I was younger & living in FL, going to the Beach was an every weekend thing & I'm not very hairy 2 begin with & blonde body hair, also little to NONE. I've never shaved my thighs & now I don't even even have any on my thighs or arms Idk why. Eyebrows are just that. Idk why in the 80's brows just wasn't a thing ANY of the Girls did anything too 🙃 I did & do clean them up but never plucked or drew them in & I guess it's something I don't really think about, I guess 🤣 Eye lashes, always & still long & just use mascara. I LOVE MakeUp but bc we were Beach Kid's "oh natural" is & how I roll. I've been married for 22yrs & he likes the whole makeup thing & buys me whenever I want something. I end up thinking I WISH we had formulas back then like what's going on now ✌️
Before the CT Hollywood glow /Elf dupe mania online, I bought & still use Lisa Eldridges Elevated Glow which gives a beautifully natural skin illumination.
Two incredible beauties sharing their valuable makeup tips for those over the age of forty! Many have worked for me, and I am over the age of sixty! Thanks so much, Marlena, and Lisa, for continuing to offer your knowledge, expertise, and genuine joy, advancing the You Tube beauty community for so many! Love, and hugs, ladies, Sherrey🩷💄🩷
42 here and I stopped wearing black eyeliner on top lid as much because I feel like it started to age me unless I wear a super thin line. Something I noticed too is now a lot of my bright red lipsticks aged me too even with lipliner. I saw a tip where a makeup artist warmed up the red on her hand and pressed it and it made the color look less severe. Starting to think muted red lip colors are more my friend.
I am 38 and rediscovering make-up again since my early twenties! I watched your videos then to help me with my techniques and I am SO glad you have these videos so I can learn with you all over again!! It is almost as if I am reliving my youth 😆😅
It does! I HATE when people say you can't wear shimmers when you get older. I find they look more flattering. My mom is 70 and I always apply shimmers on her and it looks amazing
I am SO glad I never participated in any of the "pluck the brows to tiny lines" fads!! Granted, i almost had Brooke Shields brows, but so relieved i only cleaned them up because i was too lazy and never liked thin brows on anyone... so now my brows are about perfect since they've thinned a tad! These videos are so full of helpful info!! ❤ I have to be honest about dark liners on the waterline... I'm old enough that while growing up in the 70s-80s lining the waterline was considered trashy... I just can't get past that. I've noticed that now the actress Kelly Reilly always lines her eyes this way, on and off sets, and she's almost the only woman I can think of that just looks spectacular with her eyes lined that way. It just does not flatter most people. But just an ingrained opinion. 😂❤
Love you guys together! Like a BOGO lol thanks. Can you do over 65 next? I don’t think I will stop wearing make up until I literally cannot put it on. Like on my deathbed and then I may ask my granddaughter to do it for me. She is pretty good for 13.
I love you ladies thank you so so much for the tips and ideas! I'm hitting 40 in May and I can definitely tell the closer I get. My skin is so different now.
The YSL lipstick is what I’ve been looking for for a long time but when I clicked the link it says they are unavailable 😭 Does anyone know of a dupe or somewhere they are in stock?
As I get older I started preferring a shimmer shadow. I’m basic though a bit of bronzer in the crease then a soft shimmer. I miss lip liner in the 90s haha it was either a brown or black eyeliner to get that Guess girl supermodel look.
I love eyeshadows and I don’t do all matte eyeshadows because I look so tired. Actually matte all over. Not matte lips, not even matte in the skin. As I’m getting older, it ages me.
I have always thought the dark eyeliner on the lower lash closes off the eye, yet why do makeup artists and creators say it opens up the eye? On the outer corner you can get away with a little a third way in, but that’s about it. I’ve never understood why we do all these steps and buy all these products to cancel out under eye darkness just to add it back on ourselves.😂
Haha nooo not the strip lashes too hahaha - I'm breaking all the rules - I have big eyes and thick natural lashes so I think my eyes can take it hahaha
Biggest p Robles with the brow gels is that the wands are too fat. If you have sparse eye brows you need a wand that is skinny and long, not just small. Any makeup producers listening?
Great ideas, ladies. Marlena, I am 60 and my lips have almost disappeared :( I use to love, love, love lipstick. Now I can't really wear it but I do wear Buxom lip cream all day every day. I got injections once but can't say I was in love with it. I miss my fuller lips. Lip liner doesn't do well either.
This was such a great and helpful video! What makes me the happiest... REALLY HAPPY... is to see you 2 together... and other content creators filming joint videos... and I just feel so warm and fuzzy ;) to see the friendships and beautiful connection (as opposed to competition) in this space. I feel like we get to know each of your personalities a bit... and it is so beautiful in the deeper way, to see the collaboration and connections. Love LOVE!!!
Maybelline build a brow 2 in 1 and the Maybelline Tattoo Styling gel is where it’s at if you aren’t comfortable doing your brows or hate that harsh, drawn on, Groucho brow so many have. These give real hair like strokes (build a brow) or a thicker fuller but soft brow with the styling gel. Highly recommend. They are fool proof. That Elf lip exfoliator is amazing and because it’s in a stick, it’s not messy and easy to throw in your bag to take with you while staying hygienic, unlike those pot scrubs etc you have to stick your finger in. Elf has been killing it lately with great products, although this is an old one they’ve just repackaged better.
Please, let‘s just strive for a bit of honesty here. Do shinier lipsticks fill in fine lines better and give the lips a fuller appearance? Absolutely. But the whole „when I wear this people ask if I got filler and I‘m like no it‘s just this lipstick and the way I apply it“ thing is really phony here. These are not Marlena‘s original lips. And that is fine and a personal decision. But be up front about it. For those of us, like me, who have been following you since the start, we‘re not blind. Just be honest about it.
Thank you!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I was honestly thinking hmm doesn't she have filler though?
Yes!
Now that I’m in my 40s full coverage foundation is a big no!
And I 100% agree about shimmer on the eyes!!!
Same here 🙋🏻♀️
same! I can do full coverage just in spots but not all over face anymore- it looks cake and thick
It's weird that when we are younger without as much to cover we put it all on, and when we get older and may want more coverage we can't pile it on anymore. I use concealer strategically for my 'foundation'.
The NYX concealer in the pump has been life changing for my dry aging skin - the only product I can wear without looking like a cake face. I use it as foundation. The only product that smooths my skin and doesn't cling to texture you can't otherwise see.
@@kerenkrollI agree. So great as a foundation for us older woman. I just discovered the new makeup forever glow foundation. So beautiful and as an under eye concealer it is awesome.
Loved filming this with you! So much fun!
We need a tutorial with both their makeup. Please each one make a video on your respective channels, thanks!
Two beautiful ladies......thanks for the great tips!
It' s totally the opposite for me😅. As a goth, the only thing I adoooore about aging is fat pads loss, having chiseled Maleficent-ish features and sunken Willem Dafoe cheeks. Not only I don' t try to soften all these constant changes but I enhance hollows and pointy bones even more✨💀✨. The more harsh the better. Treti-suncreen for a lovely skin, at home device + ATO radiofrequency sessions to keep the lower third in its place and Happy Halloween every day!
That 2009 photo🥹, I was there! The nostalgia🥺...
In spite of not being the target, anyways THANK YOU you for these beyond useful and helpful tips. What a treat collab💫💫
🧛🏻♀️🖤
I can't leave the house without a bit of shimmer or glitters on the eyes. I'm older and find it makes my eyes look bigger. 😊
Thanks ladies/great points. Wearing eyeliner in the inner rim is also really bad for your eyes so that's a good reason not to as well!
Love all of these tips! I'm 29, but even though I'm not over 40 yet, I think these are also great makeup techniques for those of us (like myself) with dry skin, textured skin, and small eyes. Such a great collab video!

Lisa is beautiful just as you are Marlena. Thanks for sharing all of this!
Marlena , your makeup is flawless. You look absolutely stunning!!
❤🦋❤
I can’t do the caterpillar brow. I can’t quit staring at the brows of those that do. Who the frick popularized these abominations?! Then hair spray them to the skin. No. It’s just a no for me. If you love this and I stare at you I’m sorry in advanced.
Thanks for the ideas! I'm older and if I'm going to use eyeshadow a primer is a must.

Ladies, L'Oreal Infallible lipsticks/ glosses are wonderful & affordable!
Love the lashes but $18 for Half a lash !!!
No way she’s crazy !!! Never paying that
I use a full lash I cut in 1/2 and apply it under the lash. Is use the kiss falscara glue. It comes off easy with an oil base cleanser.
No girl...u don't have the definition in ur lips because of filler...thats what happens. Even if u have stopped u can tell u have lasting filler.
This is a great video! Thank you both! I have probably 20 years on you ladies, and I agree with your statements.

Shimmers are your friend as you get older….this bling queen LOVES that
I never realized that my brows looked better when I trimmed them; I thought it made them look thicker but they actually look better trimmed...
But why lisa isn’t on the thumbnail!
I love your collaboration, I only wish you would had shown more affordable options for those of us that can't afford to pay 40.00 for a pressed powder.
Yeah, I miss the days when she was using Coastal Scents products, and such. Those were the days!
Tutorial for Marlena's shiny eye look please! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for recommending the MOST expensive products that we can all afford!!!!
Great tips!!!! Lip liner is a must and brown eyeliner and no powder preferred lol but I usually have to on my nose and chin 🤍🤍🤍 thanks girls you are both amazing!!!!
Shimmers are definitely your friend when you get older. Just matte eye shadows look dry and tired out eyes

What is Lisa wearing on her eyelids? I really like the color and her complexion is similar to mine!

42 here and I stopped wearing black eyeliner on top lid as much because I feel like it started to age me unless I wear a super thin line. Something I noticed too is now a lot of my bright red lipsticks aged me too even with lipliner. I saw a tip where a makeup artist warmed up the red on her hand and pressed it and it made the color look less severe. Starting to think muted red lip colors are more my friend.
Shimmers remain on my oily 49 year old eyes! 😁 Of course with a primer and setting powder
I am 38 and rediscovering make-up again since my early twenties! I watched your videos then to help me with my techniques and I am SO glad you have these videos so I can learn with you all over again!! It is almost as if I am reliving my youth 😆😅
Great video ladies. I always learn something and I can never have too many tips. Thanks so much!
I agree with the shimmer eyeshadow Marlena! I am 60 and it makes me look fresh and goes with the dewy look so good 👍
It does! I HATE when people say you can't wear shimmers when you get older. I find they look more flattering. My mom is 70 and I always apply shimmers on her and it looks amazing
You are both amazing people. Inspiring female business owners that support others like that. (Jen Luv and Angelica seem like that too.) So genuine…
I am SO glad I never participated in any of the "pluck the brows to tiny lines" fads!! Granted, i almost had Brooke Shields brows, but so relieved i only cleaned them up because i was too lazy and never liked thin brows on anyone... so now my brows are about perfect since they've thinned a tad!
These videos are so full of helpful info!! ❤ I have to be honest about dark liners on the waterline... I'm old enough that while growing up in the 70s-80s lining the waterline was considered trashy... I just can't get past that. I've noticed that now the actress Kelly Reilly always lines her eyes this way, on and off sets, and she's almost the only woman I can think of that just looks spectacular with her eyes lined that way. It just does not flatter most people. But just an ingrained opinion. 😂❤
Love you guys together! Like a BOGO lol thanks. Can you do over 65 next? I don’t think I will stop wearing make up until I literally cannot put it on. Like on my deathbed and then I may ask my granddaughter to do it for me. She is pretty good for 13.
I am over 40 and I sometimes use full coverage foundation but very lightly. I also wear glittering eyeshadow but applied very lightly.
I love you ladies thank you so so much for the tips and ideas! I'm hitting 40 in May and I can definitely tell the closer I get. My skin is so different now.
I bought that Fenty powder on your recommendation (and it was on sale!) and I love it!
It's SO good right??? Never gets cakey on me- great coverage and comes in so many colors. I LOVE them
Do u have a link to support your recommendations?@@MarlenaStell
🎉@MarlenaStell what brush do you recommend to apply powder foundation if it is used as an all-over base ?
I’d like to say I’m a survivor of 90s thin brows. I never gave in to that trend and have full brows today because of it 🤣🤦🏼♀️
I remember when fine lines on the lips were all the rage.
Now I'm 55years...leaning!! Thank you sisters ❤❤Singapore 🇸🇬
OMG I loved this! It was like a chit chat with your sister friends 🥰
The YSL lipstick is what I’ve been looking for for a long time but when I clicked the link it says they are unavailable 😭 Does anyone know of a dupe or somewhere they are in stock?
Yes you guys are the second MUA that have suggested the creamy eyeliner on the waterline.
What is the color you put on from YSL? I tried your link but Sephora says they don’t carry it? Thanks!
I’m over 50 and these tips are spot on!
Thanks for all the good tips. Im not forty but i have changed skin after pregnancys and have to try new techniques ❤️
I find that MAC lipstick just disappears a few moments after applying it! It feels wonderful, but it's too pricey not to last at least a short while.
Could you please explain how to apply mineral powder correctly, step by step. Thank you 😊
As I get older I started preferring a shimmer shadow. I’m basic though a bit of bronzer in the crease then a soft shimmer. I miss lip liner in the 90s haha it was either a brown or black eyeliner to get that Guess girl supermodel look.
I love eyeshadows and I don’t do all matte eyeshadows because I look so tired. Actually matte all over. Not matte lips, not even matte in the skin. As I’m getting older, it ages me.
I have always thought the dark eyeliner on the lower lash closes off the eye, yet why do makeup artists and creators say it opens up the eye? On the outer corner you can get away with a little a third way in, but that’s about it. I’ve never understood why we do all these steps and buy all these products to cancel out under eye darkness just to add it back on ourselves.😂
What’s the YSL lipstick fomula mentioned?
I loved this video. Seeing two of my favorite RUclipsrs making a video together was such a pleasure. I would love to see more collabs.
Marlena, Please do a tutorial of the products and eye look it’s gorgeous!!! 🥰
I’m 48 and I’m still so oily and if I don’t powder all over my makeup slides off my face.
I can’t give up my Dior backstage highlighter!
Love these tips and tricks videos! Are there additional tips for those of us in our late 50’s? Or go with these?
Marlena died a bit inside when she put that applicator directly on her skin 😂
Haha nooo not the strip lashes too hahaha - I'm breaking all the rules - I have big eyes and thick natural lashes so I think my eyes can take it hahaha
Matte eyeshadow makes me look like "dawn of the walking crepe-y dead"
I love a dark navy eye liner but hard to find. Any suggestions?
They’re gonna have to pull the shimmer eye shadows out of my cold dead hands haha
I'm 54 and I agree with Marlena about shimmer on the eyelid.
I gave up the thick lashes too. It closed my eyes off and just not good
Biggest p Robles with the brow gels is that the wands are too fat. If you have sparse eye brows you need a wand that is skinny and long, not just small. Any makeup producers listening?
That’s . . . .biggest problems. . . .
Thank you Marlena and Lisa, super tips🤩🤩🤩
Great ideas, ladies. Marlena, I am 60 and my lips have almost disappeared :( I use to love, love, love lipstick. Now I can't really wear it but I do wear Buxom lip cream all day every day. I got injections once but can't say I was in love with it. I miss my fuller lips. Lip liner doesn't do well either.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO 🙌 now I know what to do in my +40 make up 👏👏👏👏
This was such a great and helpful video! What makes me the happiest... REALLY HAPPY... is to see you 2 together... and other content creators filming joint videos... and I just feel so warm and fuzzy ;) to see the friendships and beautiful connection (as opposed to competition) in this space. I feel like we get to know each of your personalities a bit... and it is so beautiful in the deeper way, to see the collaboration and connections. Love LOVE!!!
Lisa is such a sweetheart! I LOVE her - very genuine and kind :)
Maybelline build a brow 2 in 1 and the Maybelline Tattoo Styling gel is where it’s at if you aren’t comfortable doing your brows or hate that harsh, drawn on, Groucho brow so many have. These give real hair like strokes (build a brow) or a thicker fuller but soft brow with the styling gel. Highly recommend. They are fool proof.
That Elf lip exfoliator is amazing and because it’s in a stick, it’s not messy and easy to throw in your bag to take with you while staying hygienic, unlike those pot scrubs etc you have to stick your finger in. Elf has been killing it lately with great products, although this is an old one they’ve just repackaged better.
