I am 66 years young. I used to be skilled make up artist; as time passed, I realized that money is just a way of surviving. I went back to nursing and have been taking care of the elderly for over 25 years; caring for others it’s just great, but I totally forgot about myself. I don’t wear make up, I don’t look as neat and professional as I used to be back in the days. I decided to start retraining myself in order to be able to look my best again. I appreciated from the bottom of my heart everything you taught today, for sure I have become one of your new fans. Have a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous 2021, please stay safe and continue to take great care of yourself, you are just beautiful! 🙏🌹❤️🥰
I feel you!!! I am a mechanic’s assistant and work with my husband. We own a small marine engine repair business. So, since I am constantly covered in grease and wearing men’s clothing, I really like to wear makeup to work just so people still know i am female and don’t PURPOSELY want to look grody!!! It’s just part of the job, lol! And having just turned 40, and never having been big into makeup or in a position to afford many cosmetics, I need all the help I can get now!!! I absolutely feel you here and it def makes us feel so much better about ourselves to be able to hold our heads up high.
Drink jello in any flavor at night in hot water. Will get you started and we can all afford jello. Youll be amazed how hair, skin, nails and joints will feel! drink tons of water. It also helps a great deal in appearance. It helps shed water gain. Good luck
Gabriel Perez sometimes when taking care of others which i love to do as well we do kinda put ourselves on the back burner so to speak a friend DR once told me it's ok we have to take care of us,it's needed to take two steps back when we can, i got back into wearing my makeup again just to pamper, thanks for what you do and yes she made another great video i just found 💘
I have a tip to keep eyelashes curled, no matter what mascara you use. After curling lashes, apply mascara to tips only. Let dry completely then apply to the rest of the lashes. They will stay curled!
Thank you for this tutorial! I'm 42 and I can't follow a 20 year olds makeup tutorial because our skin is totally different. I'm so excited to binge all your content!
I appreciate that you dont yell at your viewers through the camera or over exaggerate your words, be unnecessarily enthusiastic like a lot of youtubers do now.
I love this video, Risa! But I have to disagree with you; in my eyes you are not retired. You will always be a makeup artist to me. Your eyes see and observe things that I cannot; that is truly gift, especially to those of us over 40. Keep up the amazing work, girl! ❤❤
You and me both, I hardly bothered with anything, didn't even start menopause until 58/59....finally finished at 60 and suddenly, boom, dry skin, thinning hair, wrinkles!! It was like it happened overnight!! So now it's creams and moisturiser, face masks and hair products....and I've started wearing make-up more often...but I still think my skin is better than many my age, but I like to watch all the tutorials and get the most tips I can to fend off 'old age' as long as possible. 😊😅
RISA!!!!NICE JOB HERE!!!!..I'm a makeup artist and am VERY IMPRESSED with your tutorial.You truly are an expert and talented at your craft.I'll be following you in the future ...ps, I'm almost 60 and THIS TUTORIAL WORKS PERFECTLY FOR GIRLS MY AGE!!! LOVE AND LIGHT..THANKS💜💜💜
Gabriel said a lot for me at 76. I was a sun goddess on the tennis court and golf range. I did have a successful career in real estate and still do. I wore sun screen on my body and Bare Minerals on my face, mascara and eye liner. I realized I had to up my game. Been watching UTube to learn and taking notes with a long list of what to buy too complicated. I will do a screen shot of your products and go buy them tomorrow ❤️
This was great. I'm 41 and don't wear any makeup and wanted to start with something to look more put together. I was going to go to Sephora and spend way too much money because I need help with what to get but I think I'll start with your suggestions and save myself a ton of money. I just wish I knew how to pick the right shades for foundation and concealer.
Risa , I hope you get this message . Please ,, would you be able to suggest an affordable FACE moisturizer for dry /eczema skin , for under make up ? I would gratefully appreciate it so much , I've tried different lotions and no success . ❤❤❤
As a truck driver, female and 50 yrs I have recently been working on my skin care and makeup has started to play a huge part of my routine. I want to say thank you so much for your videos. You have certainly been an inspiration.
Covergirl ultra fine pencil for brows, peach foundation to conceal the dark circles, and that great eyeshadow color pallet. Could also be used for face contouring.
Enjoyed watching this video as for a 55 yr old I really loved wearing makeup in my early teens and in my early twenties and as life took me from wearing makeup with a busy lifestyle with children and just being a busy mum not being able to wear makeup for many yrs loved watching doing a beginner's tutorial on putting on all that lovely makeup again thank you and using stuff that is so affordable love it

Excellent video! Agree totally about the Wet n Wild lipsticks. They are soooo good for the price, but I wish they'd roll all the way down into the tube. I've put so many dings into the bullet already....my fave is Bare it All!
I’m 36 and omg I love your videos! I’ve been binge watching for this past week. I don’t know why but for some reason I got a hair up my butt and at 36 decided I want to learn how to do my makeup. I don’t like watching people my own age as I think they can be a little ridiculous and I feel like my skin is already maturing. It’s fascinating all the trickery in makeup skills. I have a lot to learn and I feel like a chemist in my bathroom every morning. I do feel like my great obstacle right now is finding a foundation. Everything oxidizes on me (I think that’s actually why I gave up on makeup as a teen. So tired of searching for the right shade). The struggle is really real but I’m gaining so much knowledge from watching you and I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you. I learned a ton just from this video alone! Have a blessed day.
Really happy I came across this video..need all the help I can get..im 54 an do use makeup just like the natural look more..especially since I'm getting older!! Yes☺
I just accidentally stumbled across this video. I'm a long time makeup fanatic who after turning 50, has not been able to find a good foundation. High end foundations cost anywhere from $38 to $60 so I can't try that many. I wish more companies had samples to try the products instead of them randomly included as perks with purchases from stores like Ulta or Sephora! Except makeup counters, but the last time I went to Estee Lauder to try on the Double Wear everyone is taking about, she slathered my face so heavy, I could not wait to come home & wash it off!! Anyway, I do have a point! With the foundations you recommended I can try them without breaking the bank!! Thank you!
You can always return makeup that doesn’t work out for you 🙂 If you don’t like the shade or product in general, don’t feel obligated to keep it just because it’s used. Sephora, Ulta, department store makeup counters and even drugstores let you return used makeup. Sephora and Ulta have really good return policies too. You have 60 days to return a product for a full refund and anything over 60 days you can exchange it for another product. Also, you can totally ask for foundation and skincare product samples at Ulta and Sephora (high end makeup not drugstore products). Ask for as many foundation samples as you’d like in order to find your perfect shade. That way you won’t have to deal with the hassle of returns and exchanges.
Loved the step by step and the fact that you incorporated drug store brands that we all have easy access to and are very affordable. Thanks Rosa! I really needed the tutorial.
Nice video! Could u recommend eyeshadow brand that has “light satin” finish ? The shimmers exaggerates my crepey eyelids. Have been searching for ones that have the slightest bit of sheen...
Risa this video is definitely needed and I’m so glad you are doing the drugstore version! I am 40 and only started using make up about five years ago so definitely still a beginner but not interested in overpriced make up so thank you very much for this video
Reading your comment is exactly "Me" except I started at age 40. Always looking for affordable options because still consider myself a beginner. Refreshing to read that I'm not alone.
Your make up looks great. The eyeshadow colors you chose really brought out your eye color. The video you did on "smile" works great for the brows. Milani baked blushes are my go to. Great video
I’m not over 40, i’m 33. But I don’t identify with younger youtubers. My skin has already changed so much in the past 3 years! I love these kind of video’s 😍🥰
I’m 56 and if I could tell my 30 year old self something, it would be to look into Retin A and start using it immediately! I started over a year ago and my skin looks better now then it did in my 40’s! When your skin looks good, your makeup looks even better! Plus, I take my makeup off before bed, no matter how tired I am. Another big changer!
@@randomvideos_658 you can get it from a dermatologist or online through Cureology. If you watch Angie from Hot and Flashy, she has a code where you can get the first month free. She has the information below her videos in the description box. If you’ve never used Retin A (Tretinoin), watch some videos about it. It’s very strong so you want to start out slow and work your way up. I’m finally at the point where I use it every other night.
Risa, this is such a great affordable kit, & so versatile for use by anyone! 😊👍🏻 I have to say... You are the one that convinced me to try the Milani Conceal + Perfect Longwear Concealer when it first came out, & I am forever grateful! 😇💕 It is my favorite concealer ever, & works so well for covering my dark circles (& helping minimize the look of eye bags a bit too ) from hypersomnia. I'm 50, & I find it doesn't look dry either. I normally prefer really colorful makeup, but on those days when I'm feeling more of a neutral vibe, that Wet n Wild "Glamour Squad" palette is indeed beautiful. 🤩 Thanks for this video & all the great recommendations of quality products that will work better for those of us who are a bit older &, as a result, have some different makeup requirements. 😊💕💜💗 💄🌹🌹🌹
LOVE the Catrice foundation. I have ultra problematic skin, a lot to hide and everything disappears from my face or gets cakey. I haven't found anything better and recently I chose it over ELDW. I really love how runny, light and buildable it is!
Risa hi!! EXCELLENT idea EXCELLENT video EXCELLENT products!!! I am 49 have the exact skin as yours my skin tone is different but i adore your channel your recommendations and the makeup i've bought upon them are INCREDIBLE!!! Thank you sooo much!!! Have a great weekend❤️❤️❤️😘
I really appreciate this video. I have learned the hard way not to bring my more expensive stuff on vacation since things break during in my luggage. Now I can just bring drug store stuff and not worry. Thank YOU!!!
Fab. Lash princess is amazing and I am like you too- so many things irritate my eyes and then I look like I have been crying at the end of the day. Love your videos
I'm 47 and never wear makeup up but with this pandemic I wanted to try something new to help lift my spirits. I think this will do! Thanks for catering to use more nature ladies... ;)
What I love about this video is that your actually putting the makeup on while recommending them. Bc I’ve seen so many of these drugstore recommendation videos but their not actually doing the steps so we can see them in use. Great video!!
The look came out beautiful! You took us to school on this one 😂😂, a Master class...Thank you for the great tips..❤️ Do you have one like this on high end products?
I really appreciate this video. I rarely wear makeup since I'm home often plus I don't know how to apply. Except for the basics. I would like to wear makeup occasionally but don't know how. I have NO skills beyond mascara and basic foundation. Rarely have I used primers and the like. Other videos have you spending TONS of money on just prepping the skin. This video has shown you can still get the look, but affordably. One day, I'll try eye shadow😏. Not easy with smallish eyes.
Wow! I stumbled upon this video and was blown away with how outstanding it was! You are very talented, down to earth, easy to watch and the results are outstanding! You're absolutely beautiful! Thank you!
I’m definitely not 40+ but this video is extremely good. Thank you. Empathy-wise I feel like a lot of ‘makeup for mature skin’ is really dated or just bad. Needed video!
These are so going in my list of to buys. Tip for curler. Is to put the curler between thighs, or under arm, to warm while you put makeup on. Sounds weird but it heats it enough so it won't burn you, but then acts as a curling iron for the lashes. Throughout day I just have to push curled finger up against the bottom of the lashes and hold for a second to recurl if the curl starts to die.
Best video ever👍 I have a makeup bag I travel with and I always forget to include certain things I need .......this is a great way to have a bag ready to go with all your essentials thank you so much and I’m glad your using drugstore instead of high end makes one motivated and not worry about forgetting something because we all like to be beautiful no matter where we go camp,vacations,and last minute getaways.....heck I might pack 2 (home and travel) thank you again for all you do💕
I also highly recommend the Dr Pen or the Derminator (I have both, but love my Derminator more) for micro needling the scalp for hair loss. My hair was thinning out so much that I had bald spots, but, after micro needling my scalp using COS De Baha HA with my Derminator, my scalp now has thick hair growing all over it and I no longer have any thinning or bald spots.
Your tips are so helpful to me. I'm 46 years old and have very oily skin so it's nice to see how to apply makeup and it actually looks great. Thank you for your tips. Your beautiful and I just love watching all your tips. Your my favorite .
I am so glad I found your channel Risa! Thank you for the amazing tutorial! I am 47 and I do not wear make up on a regular basis but I want to start and your video was so inspiring and made me feel more confident! I didnt even know how to start LOL before this video!
Thank you..I'm 40 With not much experience in the make up scene. I have hooded eyes with large pores and oily to combo skin..so thanks for all the tips.
The movers packed everything in my bathroom. I am looking at getting some of the make up you showed today. What kind of brushes do you like to use your eyes look amazing!
Hi Risa! You are beautiful and I really appreciate your content. I am 40 years and on a budget and you really inspired me to try drugstore makeup again. There are some great options in the drugstore I just need to give them a try. Thanks to you I will!! Many Blessing to you!
I don't usually watch make-up videos but for some reason I watched this one today & I'm glad I did. I have been wondering about Milano make up for awhile. I've never tried it but I will now that I've heard someone else say it's good stuff. The fact that you're a retired make up artist tells me I can trust your opinion on that. Thank you!🙂
I love the L’Oreal Pro Glow that you recommended in another video. It really has a nice feeling and doesn’t dry out my face. The Maybelline Super Stay is another GREAT recommendation. Thank you!
Oh Risa! So right! I recognize some old favourites- Milani eye primer and Revlon Candid that I just don’t live without. I just bought my 5th or 6th tube of that eye primer and my 3rd Candid regular foundation.
My makeup dollar went to my daughter. I got back into it when she went to college. I didn’t know what highliter was, there was no primer last time I cheacked, concealer was different and we sculpted with a tiny bit of blush. So this would have been helpful to me. I made some costly mistakes! 🙃 (oh, and no beauty blenders)
😂So true! My Mom says the same thing too.. Kids tend 2 make us rethink priorities most of the time.. I went down a deep "beauty rabbit hole" & discovered a new world! We're all learning 2gether regardless of age sometimes.. Hope u feel beautiful 2day❤
Laura Balzekas once you know what these things do and what works for you, it’s great fun, isn’t it? I actually learned how to sculpt from watching a Manila Luzon video as I love RuPaul’s drag race, just had to tone it waay down. I also picked up a trick- setting my pencil liner with a similar eyeshadow. Helps keep both products from traveling into lines! Lol
Risa , I love this video so much !!! I'm 52 , trying to start using make up again , and step by step I think I can do this and can definitely afford it ! Thank you so much for sharing !!! I love all your videos . If you ever need a model for mature skin , I'm your gal 😁 God Bless you ❤
New subscriber here! I just did my makeup for a date night following your video (I'm 43!) and while I didn't have any of these products, I have to say your techniques with them were awesome! I feel glowy and fresh and not "made up"! Thank you!
First of all, you are so beautiful, even without makeup. I have a lot of these products but will try some that I don't have. I'm not a beginner, but I've always used shadow for my eyeliner. I feel it is a less harsh look and easier than using a pencil or liquid. Thanks so much for all your suggestions, and I can't wait to try them!
I’m late to the party, but I couldn’t miss a video from my favorite lady!!! I’m no beginner, but always curious to see your recommendations!! I am so JELLY that I cannot wear a mattifying, pore minimizing primer... they make my skin look wonderful, but I ALWAYS break out when I do:( BTW, if you think YOUR pores are huge.... lemme tell ya, you can see mine from outer space👽
As a beginner 40-something, I’ve found that a small eyelash curler is a lot less intimidating or scary. I bought mine at Sephora, and it allows you to curl your eyelashes in sections with much more control overall and my eyelashes look more naturally curly and soft and none of them get missed. It’s a real game changer. 🤩
Catrice has been knocking it out of the park as of late. Never, even in my youth, had any luck with liquid liner. Have used a firm, angled brush, the kind you get with a lot of brow powder, and black, dark brown, even a dark blue eye shadow as liner. It's easy, gives a slightly softer yet dramatic look. Shared the technique with a shakey handed friend. She found it worked well for her. Works well on older crêpey lids too.
OMG Risa...I have to watch you more often. I am not a beginner for makeup, yet I have the desire to follow your video to the T with my makeup. We are in the same color range and your choices in the video were so beautiful. Yet, a natural not overdone level. Thank you much!
Love this! Those Maybelline glosses are my new FAV!! Bought 3 each of the 2 shades I love. Can you do a updated high end beginner set or do you already have one? Or mostly cream products set? Powders just aren’t my friend having dry skin/oily T-zone now that I’m older. I know your oily so understand if you don’t want to. Just enjoy you! ❤️
The first time I used the Covergirl brow pencil, I HATED IT! Once I got a little oily as the day progressed, the finish of it would like almost slip off and I couldn’t fix it, even after applying more powder.... THEN I just on a whim one day, applied eyeshadow primer to my brow area (my brows are VERY sparse!) and that was the key!!! The pencil (any pencil.... Elf, Covergirl, Anastasia, etc) goes on beautifully and stays on ALL DAY! Of course, if you make a mistake, it doesn’t easily wipe off, but I just take my time and do them carefully and slowly and it has literally been life changing!

I have a tip to keep eyelashes curled, no matter what mascara you use. After curling lashes, apply mascara to tips only. Let dry completely then apply to the rest of the lashes. They will stay curled!
That totally works. Cool tip!
I think it's because the tiny amount of mascara dries rapidly.
The curl is hardened and the lashes are directed upward.

Loved the step by step and the fact that you incorporated drug store brands that we all have easy access to and are very affordable. Thanks Rosa! I really needed the tutorial.
Whoops! I really did type Risa! Didn’t realize autocorrect changed it 😳
@@shellyhm2477 😂Stupid auto-correct! At least u caught it tho, u go girl!❤
Yes! I didn't wear makeup when I was 20 because I didn't need it. Now I'm lost.
That makeup tutorial was spectacular. I really think it looks natural and amazing
Thank you for doing this video. We mature women need these kinds of good tips and demonstrations.
I felt strangely proud that I already own almost all of these products. I guess I must really value your opinion, Risa. 😉💄
Same
U go girl, u SHOULD be proud lol!👏❤
@@jennybeam7226 😂💜
Same for me! Now if only I could get my eye makeup to look as good!
@@dannilikesreviews 😂 I know!
Nice video! Could u recommend eyeshadow brand that has “light satin” finish ? The shimmers exaggerates my crepey eyelids. Have been searching for ones that have the slightest bit of sheen...
Risa this video is definitely needed and I’m so glad you are doing the drugstore version! I am 40 and only started using make up about five years ago so definitely still a beginner but not interested in overpriced make up so thank you very much for this video
Reading your comment is exactly "Me" except I started at age 40. Always looking for affordable options because still consider myself a beginner. Refreshing to read that I'm not alone.
ana torres Oh you’re definitely not alone! You should see my makeup video, it is pretty horrendous 🤷🏼♀️😏
@@anatorres4631 No way are you alone babe! Life happens, priorities change, etc. I can relate & hope u feel beautiful 2day❤
Your make up looks great. The eyeshadow colors you chose really brought out your eye color. The video you did on "smile" works great for the brows. Milani baked blushes are my go to. Great video
Smile for brows? Cool
I’m not over 40, i’m 33. But I don’t identify with younger youtubers. My skin has already changed so much in the past 3 years! I love these kind of video’s 😍🥰
I agree.. I'm 35 & definitely identify w older recommendations since having my 3 kids changed me overnight lol.. Best wishes 2u & urs❤
I’m 56 and if I could tell my 30 year old self something, it would be to look into Retin A and start using it immediately! I started over a year ago and my skin looks better now then it did in my 40’s! When your skin looks good, your makeup looks even better! Plus, I take my makeup off before bed, no matter how tired I am. Another big changer!
@@lisadearing5960 Hi Lisa, where can I find this?
@@randomvideos_658 you can get it from a dermatologist or online through Cureology. If you watch Angie from Hot and Flashy, she has a code where you can get the first month free. She has the information below her videos in the description box. If you’ve never used Retin A (Tretinoin), watch some videos about it. It’s very strong so you want to start out slow and work your way up. I’m finally at the point where I use it every other night.
Risa, this is such a great affordable kit, & so versatile for use by anyone! 😊👍🏻 I have to say... You are the one that convinced me to try the Milani Conceal + Perfect Longwear Concealer when it first came out, & I am forever grateful! 😇💕 It is my favorite concealer ever, & works so well for covering my dark circles (& helping minimize the look of eye bags a bit too ) from hypersomnia. I'm 50, & I find it doesn't look dry either. I normally prefer really colorful makeup, but on those days when I'm feeling more of a neutral vibe, that Wet n Wild "Glamour Squad" palette is indeed beautiful. 🤩 Thanks for this video & all the great recommendations of quality products that will work better for those of us who are a bit older &, as a result, have some different makeup requirements. 😊💕💜💗 💄🌹🌹🌹
Thank you, Risa! This is an incredible make-up tutorial. It is affortable and not complicated at all.
LOVE the Catrice foundation. I have ultra problematic skin, a lot to hide and everything disappears from my face or gets cakey. I haven't found anything better and recently I chose it over ELDW. I really love how runny, light and buildable it is!
I just love your genuineness! This is an outstanding video for us 40+ that are starting out in the makeup world!
Risa hi!!
EXCELLENT idea EXCELLENT video EXCELLENT products!!! I am 49 have the exact skin as yours my skin tone is different but i adore your channel your recommendations and the makeup i've bought upon them are INCREDIBLE!!!
Thank you sooo much!!!
Have a great weekend❤️❤️❤️😘
I really appreciate this video. I have learned the hard way not to bring my more expensive stuff on vacation since things break during in my luggage. Now I can just bring drug store stuff and not worry. Thank YOU!!!
Im 47 and milani is my drugstore go to as well. Been doing make up on the side for 30 years.
Fab. Lash princess is amazing and I am like you too- so many things irritate my eyes and then I look like I have been crying at the end of the day. Love your videos
I was just curious where did you get the makeup bag to put all the makeup in?
Wondering the same thing!
I’m turning 36 tomorrow and I REALLY appreciated this video. Thank you!! 😃💖🤩
I'm 47 and never wear makeup up but with this pandemic I wanted to try something new to help lift my spirits. I think this will do! Thanks for catering to use more nature ladies... ;)
I love that you are transparent and honest with all your reviews. Thank you for showing us from beginning to end. You are beautiful 😍
Thank you
Thank you for doing an Over 40 version of this. You rock, and so do your recommendations. - xx, Carla
Thank you Carla! 🥰
Please do this for 50+
I bought the Milani Cheek Kiss a few weeks ago and love it! Even looks great on lips!
What I love about this video is that your actually putting the makeup on while recommending them. Bc I’ve seen so many of these drugstore recommendation videos but their not actually doing the steps so we can see them in use. Great video!!
The look came out beautiful! You took us to school on this one 😂😂, a Master class...Thank you for the great tips..❤️ Do you have one like this on high end products?
Very informative, even for the non-beginner😊
Yes love those glosses thanks to your recommendations!
I really appreciate this video. I rarely wear makeup since I'm home often plus I don't know how to apply. Except for the basics. I would like to wear makeup occasionally but don't know how. I have NO skills beyond mascara and basic foundation. Rarely have I used primers and the like. Other videos have you spending TONS of money on just prepping the skin. This video has shown you can still get the look, but affordably. One day, I'll try eye shadow😏. Not easy with smallish eyes.
Wow! I stumbled upon this video and was blown away with how outstanding it was! You are very talented, down to earth, easy to watch and the results are outstanding! You're absolutely beautiful! Thank you!
I’m definitely not 40+ but this video is extremely good. Thank you.
Empathy-wise I feel like a lot of ‘makeup for mature skin’ is really dated or just bad. Needed video!
Love her techniques and color choices
Love the tips! I’m 61 , don’t look my age but experiencing changes so this really helps me apply “ the look” to make me look my best Ty!
This is one of the best makeup videos I’ve seen on RUclips...Thank You...I’m 50 plus years young
These are so going in my list of to buys. Tip for curler. Is to put the curler between thighs, or under arm, to warm while you put makeup on. Sounds weird but it heats it enough so it won't burn you, but then acts as a curling iron for the lashes. Throughout day I just have to push curled finger up against the bottom of the lashes and hold for a second to recurl if the curl starts to die.
I love this video! I've had trouble getting my makeup to look right as my skin has aged, so you just threw me a lifeline!
Thank you! I am subscribing.
Best video ever👍 I have a makeup bag I travel with and I always forget to include certain things I need .......this is a great way to have a bag ready to go with all your essentials thank you so much and I’m glad your using drugstore instead of high end makes one motivated and not worry about forgetting something because we all like to be beautiful no matter where we go camp,vacations,and last minute getaways.....heck I might pack 2 (home and travel) thank you again for all you do💕
I also highly recommend the Dr Pen or the Derminator (I have both, but love my Derminator more) for micro needling the scalp for hair loss. My hair was thinning out so much that I had bald spots, but, after micro needling my scalp using COS De Baha HA with my Derminator, my scalp now has thick hair growing all over it and I no longer have any thinning or bald spots.
I love the L’Oréal pro glow that’s what I’ve used for years it’s so pretty
You always have the very best content!
And you, my friend, have the very best screen name.☺ AWESOME !
Your tips are so helpful to me. I'm 46 years old and have very oily skin so it's nice to see how to apply makeup and it actually looks great. Thank you for your tips. Your beautiful and I just love watching all your tips. Your my favorite .
I am so glad I found your channel Risa! Thank you for the amazing tutorial! I am 47 and I do not wear make up on a regular basis but I want to start and your video was so inspiring and made me feel more confident! I didnt even know how to start LOL before this video!
Thank you..I'm 40 With not much experience in the make up scene. I have hooded eyes with large pores and oily to combo skin..so thanks for all the tips.
Thank you so much for creating this video. Just what I needed, and especially for hooded, mature eyes. Love from Norway ❤
Nice content for youngest 40's I'm 70 never used any of that, happy with mascara waterproof, and lipstick for eyeshadow lol
Milk of Magnesia also makes a great face mask for oily skin, acne, and irritated skin ❤
The movers packed everything in my bathroom. I am looking at getting some of the make up you showed today. What kind of brushes do you like to use your eyes look amazing!
Hi Risa! You are beautiful and I really appreciate your content. I am 40 years and on a budget and you really inspired me to try drugstore makeup again. There are some great options in the drugstore I just need to give them a try. Thanks to you I will!! Many Blessing to you!
I don't usually watch make-up videos but for some reason I watched this one today & I'm glad I did. I have been wondering about Milano make up for awhile. I've never tried it but I will now that I've heard someone else say it's good stuff. The fact that you're a retired make up artist tells me I can trust your opinion on that. Thank you!🙂
Milan is great stuff!!!
I love the completed look hair and dress included. I always love watching Risa.. She's the BEST!
I love the L’Oreal Pro Glow that you recommended in another video. It really has a nice feeling and doesn’t dry out my face. The Maybelline Super Stay is another GREAT recommendation. Thank you!
Oh Risa! So right! I recognize some old favourites- Milani eye primer and Revlon Candid that I just don’t live without. I just bought my 5th or 6th tube of that eye primer and my 3rd Candid regular foundation.
My makeup dollar went to my daughter. I got back into it when she went to college. I didn’t know what highliter was, there was no primer last time I cheacked, concealer was different and we sculpted with a tiny bit of blush. So this would have been helpful to me. I made some costly mistakes! 🙃 (oh, and no beauty blenders)
😂So true! My Mom says the same thing too.. Kids tend 2 make us rethink priorities most of the time.. I went down a deep "beauty rabbit hole" & discovered a new world! We're all learning 2gether regardless of age sometimes.. Hope u feel beautiful 2day❤
Jenny Beam Aw! Tysm ❤️
Me too with all the different makeup items! Never have used bronzer either lol
Laura Balzekas once you know what these things do and what works for you, it’s great fun, isn’t it? I actually learned how to sculpt from watching a Manila Luzon video as I love RuPaul’s drag race, just had to tone it waay down. I also picked up a trick- setting my pencil liner with a similar eyeshadow. Helps keep both products from traveling into lines! Lol
Risa , I love this video so much !!!
I'm 52 , trying to start using make up again , and step by step I think I can do this and can definitely afford it ! Thank you so much for sharing !!!
I love all your videos . If you ever need a model for mature skin , I'm your gal 😁
God Bless you ❤
Have gotten into those Maybeline lip glosses, they are great 👍🏻
New subscriber here! I just did my makeup for a date night following your video (I'm 43!) and while I didn't have any of these products, I have to say your techniques with them were awesome! I feel glowy and fresh and not "made up"! Thank you!
I LOVE the Loreal infalible. That foundation is sooo good. Better than higher end that I’ve tried.
First of all, you are so beautiful, even without makeup. I have a lot of these products but will try some that I don't have. I'm not a beginner, but I've always used shadow for my eyeliner. I feel it is a less harsh look and easier than using a pencil or liquid. Thanks so much for all your suggestions, and I can't wait to try them!
Thanks for this video I’m 46 and I always looked caked out. No more💗💗💗💗💗
Thank you so much! I am 54 with dry skin. I love your channel, the products you show and your tutorials on how to apply.
I’m late to the party, but I couldn’t miss a video from my favorite lady!!! I’m no beginner, but always curious to see your recommendations!! I am so JELLY that I cannot wear a mattifying, pore minimizing primer... they make my skin look wonderful, but I ALWAYS break out when I do:(
BTW, if you think YOUR pores are huge.... lemme tell ya, you can see mine from outer space👽
You should try the L’Oreal eyelash primer prior to mascara-I use the same mascara & it works great. Big difference!
I seriously love that lip combination!
As a beginner 40-something, I’ve found that a small eyelash curler is a lot less intimidating or scary. I bought mine at Sephora, and it allows you to curl your eyelashes in sections with much more control overall and my eyelashes look more naturally curly and soft and none of them get missed. It’s a real game changer. 🤩
Catrice has been knocking it out of the park as of late. Never, even in my youth, had any luck with liquid liner. Have used a firm, angled brush, the kind you get with a lot of brow powder, and black, dark brown, even a dark blue eye shadow as liner. It's easy, gives a slightly softer yet dramatic look. Shared the technique with a shakey handed friend. She found it worked well for her. Works well on older crêpey lids too.
Well done. I took a page and a half on notes! Thank u my Pro Girl Glam!!
I love the Wet ‘N Wild shadows. They’re a powder but don’t look powdery in the lids.
Loved your video & would love to see you do a high end-luxury version. Thank you.
OMG Risa...I have to watch you more often. I am not a beginner for makeup, yet I have the desire to follow your video to the T with my makeup. We are in the same color range and your choices in the video were so beautiful. Yet, a natural not overdone level. Thank you much!
Thank you Sally!!! 😃💕
Love this! Those Maybelline glosses are my new FAV!! Bought 3 each of the 2 shades I love. Can you do a updated high end beginner set or do you already have one? Or mostly cream products set? Powders just aren’t my friend having dry skin/oily T-zone now that I’m older. I know your oily so understand if you don’t want to. Just enjoy you! ❤️
This was amazing and super informative! I’d love to do one of these myself on us ladies over 50. I really really enjoyed this video. Thanks Risa🥰
Roseanna Sasso - Schottenfeld yes! The 50 club 🤗 I would definitely watch...
Me too
Yassssss!!! Me 3!❤
Let's hear it for the fab and over 50's club!!
The first time I used the Covergirl brow pencil, I HATED IT! Once I got a little oily as the day progressed, the finish of it would like almost slip off and I couldn’t fix it, even after applying more powder.... THEN I just on a whim one day, applied eyeshadow primer to my brow area (my brows are VERY sparse!) and that was the key!!! The pencil (any pencil.... Elf, Covergirl, Anastasia, etc) goes on beautifully and stays on ALL DAY! Of course, if you make a mistake, it doesn’t easily wipe off, but I just take my time and do them carefully and slowly and it has literally been life changing!
Do a review on Hayley's Beauty they are selling it at Target now! The bb drops and revive concealer OMG so good!
If you add PLEASE to your request she might consider it.
Milani is my most fav brand too!
Thank you for this! Can you do a drugstore skincare starter kit?
Risa you’re so adorable and I love how you really want to help us out and teach us. I watch all of your videos and love you! Xoxox
Thank you so much!!
