Lov the channel only having come across it a short time ago. One mascara I have found always comes up trumps is Dior show blackout. Congratulations on such good content keep it coming
Congratulations on reaching 20k!!🎉 you make good content for us older ladies and know what we are struggling with, with our make-up and skin care. Thanks for all your research and product trials.. ❤❤
Dez, you recommended so many amazing big products. One product I discovered this year and absolutely love is the Guerlain Terracotta foundation, it is absolutely beautiful. Have a great week. Much love 💕
Thanks Clara! How I would love to try the Guerlain, but it contains fragrance, as do all the fashion/perfumery houses' makeup - along with Dior and Chanel 😢 - even their lippies are fragranced. Have a wonderful week yourself ❤️❤️❤️
Ta, Dez. Agree that the mini mascaras are better. For me, the YSL Lash Clash is Va-voom. No undereyes at the end of the day. Better than Sex? Well…it just isn’t lol. Primer, the CT invisible UV primer (just watch for the expiration date). I just use LE skin tint but I stopped going in the sun in my 30’s when I saw Joan Collins in a restaurant in California. That skin! Agree with you re CT powder. I want to try those eyeshadows. I have been using an old CT quad Mesmerizing Maroon as it really pops my eyes but…it is old. Oh and the eyebrow pencil YSL in taupe no. 4 is the only one does not turn orange on my pale ash eyebrows. Just turned 75. For some reason it bothered me but now? Well, just another day that came and went and ‘Tis a privilege to be here. Happy New Year!
LOL indeed! Interesting re Joan - she is amazing at over 90, I must say. And it is a privilege to be here, a I'm sure Joanie says to herself as well. I will let my my mate Cindy of Over50Skin know about the YSL brow pencil - it might work well for her. Happy New Year to you too and thanks so much for watching my vids - means a lot ❤️
I'll be turning 65 next year and have just found your channel. I'm so happy that I did!! I was thisclose to giving up on makeup totally with the exception of mascara and lippie. I couldn't seem to find the right anything for myself and I kind of cried a bit because I absolutely adore makeup, skincare etc. I was so tired of wasting money and I'm on such a tight budget it just wasn't worth getting myself tied up in knots about it. Then I found your channel. Thank you so much for the mix of high end and drug store products and in this video will be a massive help the next time I'm out at the shops. Ta so much for all the help you've given me and look forward to more videos. Have a Happy New Year! Cheers from Canada
Oh gosh, thank you so much! I hope you find some products you like. The one drugstore product I find tricky is powder shadows, but I will try to find some this year - for now, if I’m going drugstore I prefer eyeshadow sticks. Happy New Year ❤️
Hi! You could try the mulac (an italian medium cost brand) fix the chaos eye primer, for me and my oily eyelids it's great! And i don't know if you have tried the nars smudgeproof eyeshadows base that its very loved on youtube but i haven't tried yet. Wish you a happy new year🎉!
Thank you so much for the shoutout Dez! 🥰I love being “mates” here on RUclips! And congratulations on your tremendous growth in 2024! I am so glad so many other women have discovered how fabulous you are!!❤️ It sounds like we are very much on the same page with the Laura Geller baked balance and brighten! It’s such an easy, pretty everyday foundation. I’m so glad you love it! And I wanted to thank you for getting me back on primers! What a difference they really make! I was cracking up with the Nude Stix blush! That is exactly something I would do!! 😂 I so enjoyed hearing about your favorites! Here’s wishing you happy new years! May it be your best year yet!❤️😘
I like the Fenty concealer very much. I also like the Tower 28 concealer and the Kosas. But I regularly use Drmtlgy Luminous Eye Corrector Spf 41.. it's great!
Thank you - the Drmtlgy is on my list! I have a feeling Tower 28 may have fragrance, but I'll check. I used to have a Kosas concealer, although I bought the wrong shade, it was a bit too warm - but I remember liking the coverage.
Hello, my darling Dez. I need to know what you use on your hands because they're so youthful looking. Congratulations on hitting 20k. How wonderful and so deserving. I'm constantly on the hunt for a great undereye concealer. I'm now using an inexpensive Rimmel concealer. It's not bad, but not perfect. There's a really pretty powder blush by Rare Beauty in Cheeky. Unfortunately, I dropped it the 1st time I used it. Ugh. Like you, I'm over big shadow palettes. I prefer shadow sticks or a small eyeshadow palette. The Shroom shadow looks beautiful. It Cosmetics has some nice shadow sticks and equally as nice, Colourpop. I'm glad that you like the new CT Mascara. It was a fail for me. Thanks for sharing your 2024 favorites! Wishing you a Happy and Healthy New Year❣️🎉🎊🫶
Morning dearest friend! I can't claim any credit for my hands, I do very little to them, I'm afraid! When I remember I use Ameliorate body cream, which i think is similar to the Drmtlgy - also use it on my feet! Happy New Year and see you on the other side ❤️🍾❤️
You are very lucky! Great genetics. My hands have looked old since my 20s! They're very veiny, and my girls have the same issue. Oh, well. ❤❤🎉🎉@beautybydez
Great video as always Dez! Congrats on reaching 20k+! I'm a new follower this year and so glad I found your channel. BTW Lancome Teint Idole is my go to concealer. If it isn't fragranced it might work for you.
Hey Dez, congrats on the 20K! I also use the Charlotte Tilsbury powder under and eyes and in my tzone. I find it helps with the shine and smooths out my skin without making my skin look dry. Because of your recommendation I am using the Lash Paradise primer. I find I can use almost any drugstore concealer and get great looking lashes. I have recently started using a setting spray. I like how it makes my makeup look at the end of the day. Have you ever tried a setting spray. Perhaps you could do a video comparison on them? Wishing you a happy and prosperous new year with a ton of new subscribers. Eva
You can definitely return items from the Laura Geller website. I got the wrong shade, and they were true to their word, no questions asked, replaced it.
Many congrats on reaching 20k subscribers...... well deserved!! After many years of trying to find a blusher which suited me I came across Clinique Chubby sticks and oh my...... beautifully creamy, lovely range of colours and blend in with fingers creating a really natural blush across the cheeks. Highly recommend and not ridiculously expensive :)
I tried Dior and Lancome lash primers, prefer the Lancome. But for really WOW lashes, I use Bobby Brown Smokey Lash (first) + Ilia Limitless Lash. I am 73 and this combo gives me a very lashy look.
Ohhh for Laura Geller there are sales and I got it for $19😀. And 2shades one porcelain and one fair….mix and match to suit my seasonal change in skin tone
I think you first told us about the Hour Glass brow pencil Dez 🤔not sure but I think so . Anyway it’s my favourite. My second favourite is a Tom Ford brow pencil in taupe, It’s not cheap but lasts forever plus comes with a refill !!!!
I love the Westman Atelier blush in Dou Dou! I picked up the RMS Lip2Cheek cream, but the color was gone from my cheeks in a couple of hours. I really want to like RMS so i haven't given up yet!
Hello, new subscriber here from Pennsylvania. What a breath of fresh air this channel is. Thanks! I just bought Laura Gellar but I dont think I was using it properly, I was basically brushing it on. 🙃 Seeing how smooth and refreshed your complexion looks Im going to apply as you have. Circular blending. 😊
Congratulations on 20K! I think I found you early in 2024, enjoy the channel and recommendations very much! Hope you get to Sephora, my personal favorite from them this year is the Merit foundation stick, I find it very easy and nice on my dry skin. Happy New Year, Happy Travels, hope you can vlog something for us!
Thanks Teresa! I will certainly do some vlogs in France. Happy New Year to you too! I've struggled a bit with the Merit stick, btw, it doesn't come out as smooth as I'd like it to - I need to try a different primer, I think ❤️
Sephora does a good pencil which works for my pale ash brows and my white hair - in the shade Neutral Gray Brown. Very affordable too. If someone in the US wants a similar palette to the Naked 3 - Ulta has a palette called Blushing Blooms, at the amazing price of $14 (on sale from $20). The colors are all mauve/rose/neutral. Still waiting for the Lisa Eldridge liquid shadow to come back into stock in the color I want (as well as the shadow stick from Victoria Beckham.
Ooh thanks Fiona, my friend Cindy of Beyond50Skin will be interested in the brow product - she is also white. And that palette sounds lovely! So annoying when things go out of stock - hopefully you'll get them soon 🤞
Cpngratulations on reaching 20K!!! I always enjoy your videos. I'll tell you how much. It's 11:30 PM and what am I doing? Sitting and watching your video. Thank you for mentioning me. I really appreciate your support. You're the dearest. I've got that primer and I'll start wearing it more often. I've also got Nudes Sticks,.and must try them. You're wearing powder eye shadow. Oh I guess because you have oily lids. I wear the Laura Mercier caviar sticks. I'm laughing because I saw your video where you looked so good i the CT nmascara that I bought it. But I bought the wrong one. Back it goes before opening it. Thank you again. You're always a pleasure.
Aww Sandy it's an absolute pleas -so glad we've found each other! Yes I like powder, but I love sticks and liners too - depends what mood I'm in. How can you stay up that late? I seem to be getting to bed earlier and earlier - mind that's because I wake up at silly o'clock 😉
Thanks for the video. I too love Westman Atelier blushes and Lisa’s liquid silks. Ione is still out of stock. Interesting you didn’t mention her eye pencils? I’m keen to try Victoria Beckham’s products and I can recommend Look Fabulous Forever’s eye primer Look forward to part two of your favourites 😊
Thanks Helen. Shame about Ione. I do have a Lisa eye pencil but I don’t reach for it like I do with the VBs. I’ve never tried LFF as a brand, but thanks - I’ll check it out ❤️
Thanks so much Ruth - it's a great confidence booster! Have a wonderful New Year yourself and thank you so much for all your support over the years ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Dez, I can completely relate to the struggle finding a winning concealer! I am also struggling with a brow product to go with my grey hair. I am over the Gimme Brow by Benefit. Thanks for sharing your 2024 round up! I'm looking forward to episode 2. I must catch up on your mascara vid. Sending hugs!💜 PS How do you "wipe off" a mascara to avoid clumps?...such a silly question, I know... but i am trying to envision it🤔🤪. My fave mascara of 2024 is recent discovery, Merit's Clean Lash. I am just loving it ... glides on, no clumps, minimalist look with a single swipe and buildable for a bit more of a fluttery lash...& best of all very minimal flaking by the end of the day.
I am using Hour Glass brow pencil in the colour ash . I don’t put it on thick and I use the brush the sheer it out a bit . It’s a great colour for grey or just cool coloured brown hair . I know lots of lady’s that really like it
LOL - re wiping off, I think what's meant is wiping the brush onto the rim of the container, before you apply the mascara, so ensuring the brush isn't as saturated and thereby hopefully avoiding clumping on application - and hoping the residue will somehow find its way back into the container, thereby not wasting any 😉 Merit's sounds a bit like the LE Kitten Lash - also minimalist, and actually the Maybelline Sky High is quite like that too, with its rubber brush. I would definitely try a powder brow product, or use a single shadow - so much more choice of shades and you might find one that suits. Hugs to you to, dearest friend ❤️❤️❤️
@@HilarySing-z5c Thank you for the recommendation 💜 i actually tired the HG in ash and unfortunately it looks too warm with my white hair and brows that have gone from brown to black and white!🤣
I don't have any luck with Elf cream or liquid blushes. They apply too patchy on my 66 yr old skin.. I Just purchased ABH stick blusher and I'm hoping I'll have more success.
Hi Dez you really must try the CT Beautiful Skin Radiant Concealer (the one with the doe foot NOT the awful sponge-tipped Magic Away). You might also like to try the Beautiful Skin Foundation (the one in the tube) - it’s a million miles away from her other heavier mattifying foundations ❤
Thanks so much Fi! However, unfortunately the blimmin thing contains fragrance. I did love the foundation and have recently had to chuck it as it was past its use by date. Might be time to buy a new one ❤️
@@beautybydez oh no I keep forgetting about your fragrance allergy. That must be really annoying. On another note I just want to wish you and your family a very healthy Happy New Year 🥳 x
Catrice is a German brand . Very affordable and quite good. Tbeir undereye cream brightner is so good I can go without a concealer. Available in Israrl in Drugstores.
Hi Dez. What is the shade for the Kiko Milano shadow stick comparable to the Victoria Beckham Shroom? I found it at Amazon US lot of shades. Thank you. Cann't wait to try. your primer and foundation recommendations. Cheers
Thank you! I put sunscreen on after moisturiser, so last step before primer. I usually wait about 15/20 mins before applying primer or foundation to give it all time to settle into my skin ❤️
Dez you should try the Drmtlgy undereye concealer with spf,only one i found to work under my eyes anyway 😊i took the top off,you do make me smile,keep it going for 2025 😂
Aww thanks Cathy! Ok, will try to get hold of the Drmtlgy, I have ordered from them before and some of my mates on RUclips love it, so I'll give it a go ❤️
Sunscreen! It's an every day must for anyone wanting to avoid brown age spots, wrinkles, and rough areas. I got 2 fraxel laser treatments in 2024, and started a strict regime of sunscreen every day, even if staying indoors all day. So ..... I recommend Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen spf 50 as a primer. It has a lovely powdery gel texture. It's matte and has no detectable white cast, and no fragrance. Makeup goes on perfectly with it. I will be going in for another laser treatment in January 2025, and you can believe I am protecting my "new" skin with sunscreen. Every. Day. !
Ooh I loved the Supergoop - I reviewed it a couple of years ago. And good point re using it as a primer, as I remember it, it had the same consistency as the Huda Beauty primer.

Hi Dez! So excited to hear your favorites! Yes because of my texture, primers have long been necessary for me.
Congratulations on reaching 20k!!🎉 you make good content for us older ladies and know what we are struggling with, with our make-up and skin care. Thanks for all your research and product trials.. ❤❤
Thanks so much Lynette - really appreciate your lovely comments ❤️❤️❤️

The IT COSMETICS concealer gives great coverage and is moisturizing.

Aww thank you - and the same to you ❤️

Congrats on 20.0k! Need to look at Naked 3 palette, lovely colours
Thank you!
Sephora does a good pencil which works for my pale ash brows and my white hair - in the shade Neutral Gray Brown. Very affordable too. If someone in the US wants a similar palette to the Naked 3 - Ulta has a palette called Blushing Blooms, at the amazing price of $14 (on sale from $20). The colors are all mauve/rose/neutral. Still waiting for the Lisa Eldridge liquid shadow to come back into stock in the color I want (as well as the shadow stick from Victoria Beckham.
Ooh thanks Fiona, my friend Cindy of Beyond50Skin will be interested in the brow product - she is also white. And that palette sounds lovely! So annoying when things go out of stock - hopefully you'll get them soon 🤞

Oh I guess because you have oily lids. I wear the Laura Mercier caviar sticks. I'm laughing because I saw your video where you looked so good i the CT nmascara that I bought it. But I bought the wrong one. Back it goes before opening it. Thank you again. You're always a pleasure.
Aww Sandy it's an absolute pleas -so glad we've found each other! Yes I like powder, but I love sticks and liners too - depends what mood I'm in. How can you stay up that late? I seem to be getting to bed earlier and earlier - mind that's because I wake up at silly o'clock 😉
Thanks for the video. I too love Westman Atelier blushes and Lisa’s liquid silks. Ione is still out of stock. Interesting you didn’t mention her eye pencils? I’m keen to try Victoria Beckham’s products and I can recommend Look Fabulous Forever’s eye primer Look forward to part two of your favourites 😊
Thanks Helen. Shame about Ione. I do have a Lisa eye pencil but I don’t reach for it like I do with the VBs. I’ve never tried LFF as a brand, but thanks - I’ll check it out ❤️
I love the nudestix brand. I love their blushes and sticks for lips and cheeks and eyes! I agree with preferring smaller palettes
I'd like to try more Nudestix - I'm going to look for them in Sephora when I go to France. Do you have some faves I should try?
You look lovely! Have you tried Chantecaille concealer? It is not a heavy concealer.
Thank you - and no, I dont think I have. I will add it to my list ❤️
Hello, Dez - HUGE congratulations on reaching 20 thousand subscribers in such a short time! Also, you look fantastic! Have a wonderful New Year - Ruth
Thanks so much Ruth - it's a great confidence booster! Have a wonderful New Year yourself and thank you so much for all your support over the years ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Dez, I can completely relate to the struggle finding a winning concealer! I am also struggling with a brow product to go with my grey hair. I am over the Gimme Brow by Benefit. Thanks for sharing your 2024 round up! I'm looking forward to episode 2. I must catch up on your mascara vid. Sending hugs!💜
PS How do you "wipe off" a mascara to avoid clumps?...such a silly question, I know... but i am trying to envision it🤔🤪. My fave mascara of 2024 is recent discovery, Merit's Clean Lash. I am just loving it ... glides on, no clumps, minimalist look with a single swipe and buildable for a bit more of a fluttery lash...& best of all very minimal flaking by the end of the day.
You would need a lash comb separator to brush off the mascara clumps 😊❤
I am using Hour Glass brow pencil in the colour ash . I don’t put it on thick and I use the brush the sheer it out a bit . It’s a great colour for grey or just cool coloured brown hair . I know lots of lady’s that really like it
LOL - re wiping off, I think what's meant is wiping the brush onto the rim of the container, before you apply the mascara, so ensuring the brush isn't as saturated and thereby hopefully avoiding clumping on application - and hoping the residue will somehow find its way back into the container, thereby not wasting any 😉 Merit's sounds a bit like the LE Kitten Lash - also minimalist, and actually the Maybelline Sky High is quite like that too, with its rubber brush. I would definitely try a powder brow product, or use a single shadow - so much more choice of shades and you might find one that suits. Hugs to you to, dearest friend ❤️❤️❤️
@@beautybydez Ahhh 🤭
@@HilarySing-z5c Thank you for the recommendation 💜 i actually tired the HG in ash and unfortunately it looks too warm with my white hair and brows that have gone from brown to black and white!🤣
You are such a beauty. Thank you for sharing! Did I miss your lips on this video? I would love to know your lip products in this video. Thank you.
Thank you so much! No you didn’t miss lips - just release that today ❤️
Well done! Congrats.
Thank you!
Thanks Dez enjoyed the video ❤
Try Neutrogena radiant cream concealer. It's excellent!. Does not settle into lines.
Thanks - I'll see if I can find it - Neutrogena's quite difficult to find in the UK, strangely.
I find nyx bare with me concealer is great it blends well and you only need to use sparingly
Ooh thanks - will add that to my list.
I don't have any luck with Elf cream or liquid blushes. They apply too patchy on my 66 yr old skin.. I Just purchased ABH stick blusher and I'm hoping I'll have more success.
Hi Dez you really must try the CT Beautiful Skin Radiant Concealer (the one with the doe foot NOT the awful sponge-tipped Magic Away). You might also like to try the Beautiful Skin Foundation (the one in the tube) - it’s a million miles away from her other heavier mattifying foundations ❤
Thanks so much Fi! However, unfortunately the blimmin thing contains fragrance. I did love the foundation and have recently had to chuck it as it was past its use by date. Might be time to buy a new one ❤️
@@beautybydez oh no I keep forgetting about your fragrance allergy. That must be really annoying.
On another note I just want to wish you and your family a very healthy Happy New Year 🥳 x
Catrice is a German brand . Very affordable and quite good. Tbeir undereye cream brightner is so good I can go without a concealer. Available in Israrl in Drugstores.
Oh is it, I didn't know! And thank you re their concealer - I'm going to try to track it down ❤️
Have you tried maybeline concealer ?
I have - the one with the sponge tip applicator. It's ok, but it didn't wow me. I need to do a really deep dive into concealers - it's in the works 😊
Dez, you're going to cost me a fortune. I'm going to have fun trying your recommedations.x
LOL - I know, I know - but thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Dez. What is the shade for the Kiko Milano shadow stick comparable to the Victoria Beckham Shroom? I found it at Amazon US lot of shades. Thank you. Cann't wait to try. your primer and foundation recommendations. Cheers
I think 15 is close. It has good staying power.
Thank you so much
Congratulations on reaching 20k🎉 I have a question about sunscreen. When would you put it on?
Thank you! I put sunscreen on after moisturiser, so last step before primer. I usually wait about 15/20 mins before applying primer or foundation to give it all time to settle into my skin ❤️
Dez you should try the Drmtlgy undereye concealer with spf,only one i found to work under my eyes anyway 😊i took the top off,you do make me smile,keep it going for 2025 😂
Aww thanks Cathy! Ok, will try to get hold of the Drmtlgy, I have ordered from them before and some of my mates on RUclips love it, so I'll give it a go ❤️
Sunscreen! It's an every day must for anyone wanting to avoid brown age spots, wrinkles, and rough areas. I got 2 fraxel laser treatments in 2024, and started a strict regime of sunscreen every day, even if staying indoors all day. So ..... I recommend Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen spf 50 as a primer. It has a lovely powdery gel texture. It's matte and has no detectable white cast, and no fragrance. Makeup goes on perfectly with it.
I will be going in for another laser treatment in January 2025, and you can believe I am protecting my "new" skin with sunscreen. Every. Day. !
Ooh I loved the Supergoop - I reviewed it a couple of years ago. And good point re using it as a primer, as I remember it, it had the same consistency as the Huda Beauty primer.
I also can’t keep eye liner on, so if you can source a primer. That would be great !
I will do my very best ❤️
@@beautybydez 🙋🏼♀💜
You look amazing. I can’t stop staring at your eyes.
Aww Nancy, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Stunning vlog ,happy new year 2025 ❤🎉😊 xx
Aww thank you! And the same to you Deborah ❤
