I just discovered your RUclips channel yesterday, and I am so impressed! I bought your book and am going to buy your products. I love you and will become your biggest cheerleader! I am age 66, was feeling sad about aging, but am so inspired by your teaching!
💖💖💖...Wow! You must have been reading my mind about "The Grey Journey". This is what I tell other women who ask me about mine. Thank you for articulating so well. Just love what you're all about!
I never felt better and more comfortable in my skin than when I went gray. I did it for health reasons. In the beginning I wore wigs but ditched them quickly in the Florida heat. I felt unnoticed with my brunette hair but when I went salt and pepper I felt noticed more than I ever did. I got more compliments. People would stop me on the street and in stores to compliment my hair. Who knew gray could feel so great. Best thing I ever did.
I’ve found a Love 💕 of wearing more Pinks since I’ve started my grey hair journey, I’ve been experimenting with different shades of pinks in my lipstick and some are brighter than I would of normally worn but I’m loving them especially when I’m wearing pink with my clothes as well, adding more colour to my wardrobe with pretty pastel colours instead of darker colours seem to be working well with my transition to grey hair which is going to take me years to get my whole head of hair to grey, I don’t want to get it cut at this stage, it’s just past my bra strap at the moment and I might get a little taken off but not much, I love to style my long hair, I need to go shopping for more pink toned eyeshadow palettes as I love your palettes so much but you don’t do international shipping unfortunately, I wish you did. Great advice as always Nikol. ❤️❤️💖💖
My granddaughter loves buying vintage clothing and although she doesn’t take every garment I offer, she often does. I recently pulled out a long skirt that had a colorful flowery sequined pattern and a jean fabric waistband. She tried it in and it perfectly. She wore it the rest of the day and took it home. I recently saw it in her closet. ♥️
I’m 72, my hair began to change from blonde to silver in my 40’s but I had high and lowlights to warm it up, until I was 60. I love my silver hair now and discovering your channel gave me confidence to play with colour on my face. I always wore grey eyeshadow but now wear tones of pink and mauves, or taupes as well as greys, but your video on sparkle or sheen shadow to pop the eyes encouraged me to try it….and it works. I used to avoid sheens as all I’d read said it aged the eyes on mature women….I though I was too old! Thank you Nikol, for caring about women as we age, and showing us how to really bring out our beauty. I use all of your makeup tips, from skin care to full makeup, and love my new look….someone called me an English Rose recently, a lovely compliment, and all down to your beauty tutorials and tips….thank you ❤
Thank you so much, Nikol! I am not grey, but showing us different lip colors and eye shadows are so helpful. I am still not comfortable with darker lip colors. I should put reddish or coral lips while cleansing the house, as you suggested!!
Since I've been following you I have become much more adventurous! It's helping me to practice now, since my gray is coming in slowly. I tend to like the berry colors and get the most complements when I wear them. And Bottled blond is my new go to eyeshadow!
I started my grey transition in ‘15 before I knew that that was a “thing.” Grey hair definitely washed me out the more my color grew out and it took me a while to figure out changing my makeup or else going back to my blonde highlights. People were beginning to notice the white hair and I started to get a lot of compliments. I felt encouraged to stick with it so I thought I’d just keep letting it grow and see where it took me. It’s been grown out for a number of years now but I had it easy going from light blonde highlights and my natural dark ash blonde to my white “highlights” which have increased in number over the last few years…😄. It looks more like highlights but no roots! Yay! I love it! Women are very complimentary-way more than I ever got with my “beauty shop” highlights! I’m 62 and it has helped me come to grips with my age too if that makes sense. I’m not pretending to be a younger woman than I am. This isn’t for everyone but it was a personal decision and for me, it was time to let go of the blonde hair.
Nikol, as usual you set off a sparkler in my mind about what I can do. I loved all the options. I don’t understand people who write only to criticize. Come on!!! Can’t they find something they like about your presentation before they lower the boom. Nobody appreciates people like that. I know we are all have different with different communication styles … but Please!!! Dot
Dot: I AGREE WITH YOU, but some people thrive on drama in order to be happy. Instead of thinking up ways to tear people down, they should just keep their mouths SHUT so the rest of us can enjoy the welcome tips and other constructive advice.
I went from dyed blond with copper highlights which went with my complexion to almost completely white with some silver , and I felt very washed out and thought my face and my hair didn’t go together at all. A complete make up rethink had to happen, I wish I had seen this video two years ago. So after a lot of experimentation it’s yes to pink and berry colours on cheek and lips, yes to bronzer but subtle. On my eyes I suddenly found that pink worked well there too and foundation needed to be a little bit pinker too. Broadly cool colours work best on me - Colourpop Stone Cold Fox is a favourite palette. More effort into the eyebrows (not as issue Nikola has) to darken them up and eyeliner to make the eyes a focus (using the techniques Nikol teaches). Lastly, something into my hair to make it shine. I make a lot more effort with makeup now but not going back to the dye and I go out feeling GOOD!!!!
I just love listening to you Nikol...you have opened my eyes and made me more experimental to makeup. I use everything in your line of makeup and tools and love sharing my experience with others. Love it all. You are such a class act _ yet down to earth. I look forward to each video ❣️
So enjoying your channel and how I am encouraged to just enjoy experimenting and having fun with it - which I am. I didn't think I would be rekindling my passion for skincare at my age but loving it. Thank you ❤️
Loved all these recommendations 💖 Since I grew out my long dark hair to reveal long silver streaks, I have had many compliments on my hair. I too had to change my colour palette with makeup which I'm loving experimenting with. Thank you for posting everything to do with living your best with silver/ white hair. I love watching ! 🥰 Greetings from Scotland x
I’m 4 months into my journey and it’s been a challenge trying to find makeup colors that work with transitioning hair. I tend to gravitate towards brighter colors, pinks etc, just not sure how that would look. This video was the motivation I needed to “go for it!”Thank you!❤
Nikol, first off, you look fabulous, my little movie star!…this was a spectacular, helpful video!…I am going to try every single tip now that I am fully transitioned!!!…I don’t think you truly understand, but, I hope you do…how much you bring to the table for us mature women!…I was very nervous to try going grey, and I was 63 when I started…your channel and YOU as a person made it much easier, and gave me SO much confidence to do something I never thought I would do!…thank you so deeply for that, I honestly have never looked better!…I never used to get compliments on my hair, now I get them a lot!…good feeling at 66!…YOU made me not feel invisible anymore!..not an easy task to do!!!…I also want to sign up and apply for your fierce aging series if you are still accepting women!…truly, Nikol, you are unique and one of a kind!…thank you for being YOU!💜
Hello Nikol! I am from Toronto Canada. I love your beauty tips. I am a blond and a mature woman. I like when you show retro clothes that are of top quality. Keep up the good advice on how to do make up.
I never wore red lipstick while I had auburn red hair. I felt far too pale for it and had too thin lips. Yet, when I went grey I felt I suited it better than any other less intense colour. Now I have about 80% red lipstick and feel washed out without it. My only other colours are a coral and a muted apricot. Love your videos Nikol. Thank you.
First of all I would like to say I love all your videos. I am 63 and followed lots of RUclipsrs but you sure caught my attention. I have learned a lot from you. You gave me confidence. I have ordered a few products and love them, even tho they are a little bit pricey. Keep the videos coming
I was a born red hair head, more of a darker red-hair head with very fair and freckled skin. So, I grew up with only wearing warm earth tones such as peach, brown, green. But, I picked up black eye lashes and black eye brows from my Mother. Now that I grew out to pure white, I'm loving the pinks and brighter colors I felt I never could wear before as I felt those colors clashed with my red hair. As a senior mature woman, I do not have skill or luck with eyeshadows since my eyelid skin is thin and crepey. But, I do love my white hair. I feel so much more freedom to wear different colors, both in makeup and clothing. Thank you, Nikol. You're a dear person who truly is caring and so talented, not to mention beautiful!
Love Chanel Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue Ultra Wear in Raspberry. Pricey, but lasts a year, plus one careful application lasts all day. You will notice a difference in how much better people treat you when you wear it!
The look is beautiful Nikol. The lips are fantastic. I mostly wear coral and it pairs beautifully with bronzer and salt and pepper hair. I feel red is too stark for me and I have very thin lips. Red makes them look thinner. Coral makes them pop. I haven’t yet found a pink I feel good in. Mine is from my salon called Sunset. I also like NYMX Haze. I use plums, pale pinks, and champagnes. And sometimes browns on my eyes. I just bought your Bottled Blonde and I LOVE it!!! Can’t wait for Naughty Nancy to be in stock. I also use some NYNX sticks when I’m in a rush. I love bronzer. Otherwise I feel washed out. I use Ogee contour and bronzer. And I use either your Cheeky or Palm Beach and it goes beautifully. Thanks Nikol for all you do. You give us great tips. Don’t pay attention to the detractors. ❤️
A red lip has always been my go to when I was younger. But as I have entered my early 50’s, my lips have thinned out. So I started using Prommie Girl from Soap& Glory. It was a beautiful dark nude, pink. But they have discontinued it. I will be working on a red I like. Thanks for your positive attitude, ❤ it.
I do agree with you that grey hair is an evolution in your life. Most women live color and it's ok but being color free and feel sexy is amazing. I love my grey, salt and pepper hair, it's thick and really soft and my curls are healthy. As far as make up, you get a brand new palette of color to play with and so much fun. I will never go back to hair color...im free! Try it you'll never go back
Thank you Nikol. I’m experimenting with coral lipsticks at the moment, just waiting for them to be delivered. I’m also trying out the Liquid Lucent eyeshadows by Lisa Eldridge. I’m loving the softly glowing colours. It’s a change in colour scheme for me as my fair hair in transitioning to white.
I went through a grey hair journey three times until I was able to ignore others opinion. I was a impatient & went for a pixie. 😅 I’m having fun choosing new colors and style. Wow bronzer? I’m surprised. It’s one makeup item I never feel I get it to look flattering on my very pale skin. I need to experiment. Pink is definitely more flattering now. Invisible lip liner is a new concept. Thanks for all the tips 💕💕
Awesome video 🎉 I will be celebrating 3 years this month Feb 26th of my silver hair transition. I did it cold turkey and the best decision I’ve ever made, I love how smooth and shiny my hair is. I love wearing coral lipstick 💄 in the summer months. I also bought your invisible lip liner, works really well to prevent feathering. I also just purchased from Sephora Hollyweird from Urban decay, a beautiful pink and Flat out fabulous from MAC a beautiful berry colour. I’m a lipstick girl and love it even more now that I am Silver. I will try and post a picture on Beauty Reinvented on the 26th. Have a great day ❤
I found this pink one that really brightens up my face! I love it! I was having a hard time with finding the right eye shadow, I didn’t think about pink eye shadow! Thanks!
Oh you know, I sometimes wear bronzer but don’t always think about it but do notice that I sometimes look washed out with my white hair. I’ll start using it more often. I love Santorini &!Defiance together with peachy on the cheeks. I also love Not overlooked , love the colors in that one. Always love the videos!
Thank you so much. I love to use Heather by Bobbie Brown. It makes my eyes pop and it looks awesome. I am not a fan of coral lipstick, but I love mauve shades, it works for me.
Totally love these choices. I just threw out numerous lipsticks that don't work anymore, beiges, brown tones, mauves. I love reds, pinks and corals. They feel more me. I agree the bronzing is important to amp up your complexion and many times I don't need foundation when I use bronzer. Just a little concealer.
Thank you for this clarification! I have not had the time to experiment with color until recently. I totally agree with the bronzer to add color to the face. I have alwaff yr s avoided pink around the eyes but will certainly give it a good try!
Nikol great tips ! What do you suggest to keep makeup off collars and turtle necks? I hate when my cashmere sweater gets stained especially since its a cream colour.
Love your ideas as usual. It is so apparent you dedicate yourself to helping older ladies be their best selves. I wish I knew a good way to deal with the stages of letting my hair go grey. I'm 78 and have been coloring my hair since my 50's. Short of cutting my hair very short, any ideas for dealing with those ugly stages? Love your makeup and beautiful hair.
Love the video. I am a natural redhead. Thanks to you I looked and found the right red and berry colors for me. I am going silver/white, but still mostly red. I just don't worry about the transition. I am really anxious to see how I end up. I will not dye my hair. Because of the natural curl, I battle dryness and frizz. I don't blow dry my hair either.
You have a great jawline ...(well the whole face has fantastic balanced bone structure!) which helps you carry off these bright colors (coral!!) a bit easier. You are right to encourage color ...when I wear lip color (mostly pinks/plums some are brighter) I feel it draws attention away from my nose, even more than eye makeup. Enjoy the short videos, would like to see some oriental jewel colors and silks like sapphire, ruby , emeralds alone or mixed on you. The ones you've done are great!! Go Color!!👍 Joanne/Tampa (Lucky is my cat) I wish I had his attitude 😸
Thank you! Really enjoy watching and listening to you! I agree with everything you said! During covid it was still on with makeup especially lipstick! Will not go out house of the house without it! Even when I was working I was notorious for lipstick 💄 scaring girls in office when I wore red! I’m from NE 🇬🇧 Uk ! Xx 😘
When I let my natural hair grow out from being a copper red head it was rough… I always thought I would be like Lucile Ball when I got older. I grew it out at 50 because the red wouldn’t stick to my white hair. I now love my silver gray hair with white streaks. My hair is naturally curly and so easy to style. I have discovered berry shades. Even dark berry reds. I love my new Dior Addict 922 Wildior. ❤❤❤ I also love my Revlon red and berry shades. Vampire Love is beautiful! I think I have replace my love of being a red head with loving red and berry lipsticks. ❤❤❤
I find clothing very challenging. A lot of my clothing is colorful and patterned and looked great with my dark hair. Now with mixed grey/white hair, they look discordant.
I have loved the berry colors for years but recently have been loving a classic red lip. I tend to keep my eyes neutral and less color on the cheeks when I wear the look at me red. I think I need to try a bronzer, though. I think I will go raid my daughter’s makeup hoard.
Hi Nikol.... Love your videos ! Would you have any advice on how to apply lipstick to basically non existing lips 😞 I have very thin lips and as much as would would love to brighten up my lip color, everything I try looks so wrong. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Diane 🤓🍁
You are so beautiful Nikol and your skill & knowledge for helping us older women look good is amazing. Love your videos. I am 85 have all white extremely fine har that is not always easy to work with because of the fineness. I have learned so much from your videos. My appreciation & gratitude to you. Can you. please share with me the colour of the beautiful lipstick you are wearing in this video. Absolutely love it. Marlene
I always loved bold colours but since I assumed my greys I'm leaving the bold colours only on the lips and wearing a more neutral eyelook 😊 just found your channel so loving that we have the same opinion ☺️ Love a red lipstick💄 it's almost my trademark 😂😂😂
You are a gift to me!!!!so so sharp. I love your topics and every suggestion or tips you give to us. I am 71 and feel better about myself and your video truly makes me want to try the product or technique. Been a Mary Kay beauty consultant for 30 years and know the basics.....maybe I should have my own channel. Gulp. Are you hiring? Sincerely, S. Yunk
You chose some ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS colors for your pallets. LOVE the color champagne and pink. Would love to wear a red lip, but scared to. I would look RIDICULOUS...):
I feel that a strong lip in a bold colour like red is not flattering on thinner lips. Aging lips tend to be thinner. How would you work red in with a thin lip?
The problem I have, that drives me crazy, is when I get foundation, or bronzer, blush, in my hair. It’s very white and I try so hard not to get it in my hair without leaving any lines. Tips? Or advice?
Hi Sophie, I would wear a hair band while putting on your foundation/ bronzer etc. Don't take the foundation etc right up to the hairline but carefully stroke the product with your fingers up to the hairline. Hope this helps 👩🦳
Talking about going into a lovely berry color, I’ve discovered a color called Chocolate Rasberry. It’s made by Fenty (spelling) I just love it with my gray hair. it’s a nice pop of color for my really fair skin. Love your program Nicol. I look forward to each new episode! Thank you, Shann Robertson Branting.
Love red. Hair is white in front. Long salt pepper in the back. Glad you agree that wearing red lips with grey hair is a good thing. I do it once in a while and feel good. Coral is new to me. Will try it. I'm Hispanic (color of my skin is my point), so olive tone skin with PINK eye shadow? Humm. Seems like it wd wash me out. Not sure but will try. Mostly wear day to night smokey eyes. Touch it up with the color of the outfit I'm wearing. So appreciate your tips. They hv been so helpful.
@@mariay.279 Hi Maria 👋, I sometimes use indigo blue along my top lashes and that really looks stunning with brown eyes with violet purple at the outer edge of the eyes. That would really look fabulous with your hair and colouring too. Blues and violets compliment silver / white especially when yours is mainly at the front. Fabulous!
@@molly4193 I agree. Since Liz Taylor's violet eyes, I hv liked purple to enhance the brown. Also, I use blue on my water line. It makes thm look hazel. It also White's my eyes so they look more rested. Of course now there are bluing eye drops tht do the same. Pencil is more cost effective. People hv commented tht theyv nvr seen a blue ring around hazel or brown eyes. (🙂 it's the pencil.)
@@mariay.279 That sounds gorgeous! I usually put just black or navy in my waterline, but I think a more vibrant blue would be stunning to make the whites brighter! I used to work in the industry so picked up lots of tips and tricks. 💖
I dyed my hair until 2020 (the salons closed). I was sad saying goodbye to my dark hair. I had to be kind to myself as I mourned my youth. My hair is salt and pepper, I get tons of compliments. I’m 53 and have good moments and sad moments.
Great video! What do you suggest for blue eyes and blonde hair? I love your Rewrite the Rules ( makes my eyes pop) but would like to add another of your shadows!
@@bettysiebert6576 Hi Betty , I'm unfamiliar with Nicol's fabulous range as we can't get it over where I live. I would use a matt brown in your socket line and along your upper lash line, then a shimmer or metallic gold bronze in the eye area between your socket and lash line. It would be stunning. As long as you use a matt shade in your socket line and not a shimmer. Have fun.
So love your channel because I learn a ton, get great advice and sometimes reinforcement and think your truly committed to help us age fiercely lol. The fact that you are closer to my age, though I am a bit older you set a great classic example over 30 something "influencers" thank you Nikol. Still have total hair envy.
Hey Nikol, I have gone through the grey hair journey and have also discovered that pink works for me better than ever before. However, I used to rock a red lip prior to age 60 but find that I am now struggling to find lip shades that don’t enhance my ageing yellowing teeth. I have never had beautiful white teeth and can’t whiten and brighten my teeth due to having incredibly sensitive teeth. Can you recommend any particular colours and I love your range but unfortunately you don’t do international shipping. Please include shipping to Australia 🙏
I just discovered your RUclips channel yesterday, and I am so impressed! I bought your book and am going to buy your products. I love you and will become your biggest cheerleader! I am age 66, was feeling sad about aging, but am so inspired by your teaching!
Love the dark eyebrows with the gorgeous gray hair
Red lips and grey hair give me so much power!

Putting on red/corral lip around the house is a great idea…I’ve always wanted to try red and corral lip…I will be doing this
I love the tip about wearing a red lip in little stages until you get used to it. Great idea! Thank you Nikol 😊💕
Thank you so much, Nikol! I am not grey, but showing us different lip colors and eye shadows are so helpful. I am still not comfortable with darker lip colors. I should put reddish or coral lips while cleansing the house, as you suggested!!

Thank you 😊 Nikole. You made my week❣️
I do agree with you that grey hair is an evolution in your life. Most women live color and it's ok but being color free and feel sexy is amazing. I love my grey, salt and pepper hair, it's thick and really soft and my curls are healthy. As far as make up, you get a brand new palette of color to play with and so much fun. I will never go back to hair color...im free! Try it you'll never go back
Thank you Nikol. I’m experimenting with coral lipsticks at the moment, just waiting for them to be delivered. I’m also trying out the Liquid Lucent eyeshadows by Lisa Eldridge. I’m loving the softly glowing colours. It’s a change in colour scheme for me as my fair hair in transitioning to white.
I went through a grey hair journey three times until I was able to ignore others opinion. I was a impatient & went for a pixie. 😅 I’m having fun choosing new colors and style. Wow bronzer? I’m surprised. It’s one makeup item I never feel I get it to look flattering on my very pale skin. I need to experiment. Pink is definitely more flattering now. Invisible lip liner is a new concept. Thanks for all the tips 💕💕
Awesome video 🎉 I will be celebrating 3 years this month Feb 26th of my silver hair transition. I did it cold turkey and the best decision I’ve ever made, I love how smooth and shiny my hair is. I love wearing coral lipstick 💄 in the summer months. I also bought your invisible lip liner, works really well to prevent feathering. I also just purchased from Sephora Hollyweird from Urban decay, a beautiful pink and Flat out fabulous from MAC a beautiful berry colour. I’m a lipstick girl and love it even more now that I am Silver. I will try and post a picture on Beauty Reinvented on the 26th. Have a great day ❤
My 3 years as well this month😊,thank goodness it turned out silver and I'm loving the new shades of Ake up and lip stick 👍
Thanks for sharing the tips. I love wearing blues on my eyes.
I appreciate you being here for us !
Hi Nikol, Thanks for your great tips on makeup colours for grey hair, I have been silver for six years now and these tips are very useful.
I love my gray.
I showed, my mom and my sister your pictures and that kept them happy and intertwined for a while I w
I found this pink one that really brightens up my face! I love it! I was having a hard time with finding the right eye shadow, I didn’t think about pink eye shadow! Thanks!
Oh you know, I sometimes wear bronzer but don’t always think about it but do notice that I sometimes look washed out with my white hair. I’ll start using it more often. I love Santorini &!Defiance together with peachy on the cheeks. I also love Not overlooked , love the colors in that one. Always love the videos!
Thank you for all this information, it’s very helpful.
Nikol, you look so beautiful and elegant 😍
Thank you for yet another really helpful video Nikol ❤❤❤❤ x
I do like to wear more pink on the eyes than I did before I went gray. I have always loved to wear red lipstick!
Thank you so much. I love to use Heather by Bobbie Brown. It makes my eyes pop and it looks awesome. I am not a fan of coral lipstick, but I love mauve shades, it works for me.
Thank you Nicole! Great video. As always you look fabulous!
Totally love these choices. I just threw out numerous lipsticks that don't work anymore, beiges, brown tones, mauves. I love reds, pinks and corals. They feel more me. I agree the bronzing is important to amp up your complexion and many times I don't need foundation when I use bronzer. Just a little concealer.
Thank you for this clarification! I have not had the time to experiment with color until recently. I totally agree with the bronzer to add color to the face. I have alwaff yr s avoided pink around the eyes but will certainly give it a good try!
The orange liplstick draws the eye to the lips... also silver /gray hair lipsticks plums dark pinks
Great tips. You always look so beautiful & so natural,
I wear very little make up but I have dark eyebrows lashes and I wear red lips or coral lipstick 💄 and get a lot of compliments with my gray hair
Nikol great tips ! What do you suggest to keep makeup off collars and turtle necks? I hate when my cashmere sweater gets stained especially since its a cream colour.
Thanks. I have a grey wig I really like and never thought of bronzing when I wear it.
Do it. It looks great.
Love your ideas as usual. It is so apparent you dedicate yourself to helping older ladies be their best selves. I wish I knew a good way to deal with the stages of letting my hair go grey. I'm 78 and have been coloring my hair since my 50's. Short of cutting my hair very short, any ideas for dealing with those ugly stages? Love your makeup and beautiful hair.
Great tips! My favorites: Determined, Franny, Ask for It, and I have both Ageless and Mood Changer palettes. Love it all!
Love the video. I am a natural redhead. Thanks to you I looked and found the right red and berry colors for me. I am going silver/white, but still mostly red. I just don't worry about the transition. I am really anxious to see how I end up. I will not dye my hair. Because of the natural curl, I battle dryness and frizz. I don't blow dry my hair either.
I definitely reach for cool toned colours now that my hair is grey and silver.
You have a great jawline ...(well the whole face has fantastic balanced bone structure!) which helps you carry off these bright colors (coral!!) a bit easier. You are right to encourage color ...when I wear lip color (mostly pinks/plums some are brighter) I feel it draws attention away from my nose, even more than eye makeup.
Enjoy the short videos, would like to see some oriental jewel colors and silks like sapphire, ruby , emeralds alone or mixed on you. The ones you've done are great!! Go Color!!👍
Joanne/Tampa (Lucky is my cat) I wish I had his attitude 😸
Thank you! Really enjoy watching and listening to you! I agree with everything you said! During covid it was still on with makeup especially lipstick! Will not go out house of the house without it! Even when I was working I was notorious for lipstick 💄 scaring girls in office when I wore red! I’m from NE 🇬🇧 Uk ! Xx 😘
Your always so motivating and helpful Nikol! I’ve always worn nudes but I’m starting to branch out with bright colors for a statement lip! Thank You!
When I let my natural hair grow out from being a copper red head it was rough… I always thought I would be like Lucile Ball when I got older. I grew it out at 50 because the red wouldn’t stick to my white hair. I now love my silver gray hair with white streaks. My hair is naturally curly and so easy to style.
I have discovered berry shades. Even dark berry reds. I love my new Dior Addict 922 Wildior. ❤❤❤ I also love my Revlon red and berry shades. Vampire Love is beautiful! I think I have replace my love of being a red head with loving red and berry lipsticks. ❤❤❤
I love a beautiful fuscia lip as well!
Love the eyes and cheeks. I do think less is more as we age with grace and beauty. I celebrate 57 today!! 🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa
Happy Birthday!!!!!
Happy birthday!!
@@neanea1173 awww you are so sweet! Thank You!! ❤️
@@NikolJohnson Thank you beautiful! 🙌🏻🍑🧡
Happy birthday a celebration of You!!
I find clothing very challenging. A lot of my clothing is colorful and patterned and looked great with my dark hair. Now with mixed grey/white hair, they look discordant.
Love all of this. Thankyou
Great tips! Love to see Sandra Hart on this!!❤
I have loved the berry colors for years but recently have been loving a classic red lip. I tend to keep my eyes neutral and less color on the cheeks when I wear the look at me red. I think I need to try a bronzer, though. I think I will go raid my daughter’s makeup hoard.
Hi Nikol.... Love your videos ! Would you have any advice on how to apply lipstick to basically non existing lips 😞 I have very thin lips and as much as would would love to brighten up my lip color, everything I try looks so wrong. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Diane 🤓🍁
I would suggest you watch any of Nikol's fierce aging videos she's done with older women. Lots of great info in those on lips.
You are so beautiful Nikol and your skill & knowledge for helping us older women look good is amazing. Love your videos. I am 85 have all white extremely fine har that is not always easy to work with because of the fineness. I have learned so much from your videos. My appreciation & gratitude to you. Can you. please share with me the colour of the beautiful lipstick you are wearing in this video. Absolutely love it. Marlene
I always loved bold colours but since I assumed my greys I'm leaving the bold colours only on the lips and wearing a more neutral eyelook 😊 just found your channel so loving that we have the same opinion ☺️ Love a red lipstick💄 it's almost my trademark 😂😂😂
Your hair is so lovely, not too straight and thick.
Very informative gives me a boost to my choice of colors.
You are a gift to me!!!!so so sharp. I love your topics and every suggestion or tips you give to us. I am 71 and feel better about myself and your video truly makes me want to try the product or technique. Been a Mary Kay beauty consultant for 30 years and know the basics.....maybe I should have my own channel. Gulp.
Are you hiring?
Sincerely,
S. Yunk
You chose some ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS colors for your pallets. LOVE the color champagne and pink. Would love to wear a red lip, but scared to. I would look RIDICULOUS...):
love new ideas! Thank you Nikol!
🍀 thank you Nickol, for sharing your fabulous video,🍀Andy🌿
You're so classy Nikol!
that pink lipstick was great
I feel that a strong lip in a bold colour like red is not flattering on thinner lips. Aging lips tend to be thinner. How would you work red in with a thin lip?
🌹 Yes let's get this beauty started
This video was very helpful.
The problem I have, that drives me crazy, is when I get foundation, or bronzer, blush, in my hair. It’s very white and I try so hard not to get it in my hair without leaving any lines. Tips? Or advice?
Hi Sophie, I would wear a hair band while putting on your foundation/ bronzer etc. Don't take the foundation etc right up to the hairline but carefully stroke the product with your fingers up to the hairline. Hope this helps 👩🦳
Oh gosh, nice seeing Sandra. I watch her too.
Fantastic tips
Talking about going into a lovely berry color, I’ve discovered a color called Chocolate Rasberry. It’s made by Fenty (spelling) I just love it with my gray hair. it’s a nice pop of color for my really fair skin. Love your program Nicol. I look forward to each new episode!
Thank you, Shann Robertson Branting.
Oops the lipstick color is by Fashion Fair.
Love red. Hair is white in front. Long salt pepper in the back. Glad you agree that wearing red lips with grey hair is a good thing. I do it once in a while and feel good.
Coral is new to me. Will try it. I'm Hispanic (color of my skin is my point), so olive tone skin with PINK eye shadow? Humm. Seems like it wd wash me out. Not sure but will try. Mostly wear day to night smokey eyes. Touch it up with the color of the outfit I'm wearing. So appreciate your tips. They hv been so helpful.
Violet eyeshadow would look great with your colouring. 💖
@@molly4193 Thx. Use it once in a while too.
@@mariay.279 Hi Maria 👋, I sometimes use indigo blue along my top lashes and that really looks stunning with brown eyes with violet purple at the outer edge of the eyes. That would really look fabulous with your hair and colouring too. Blues and violets compliment silver / white especially when yours is mainly at the front. Fabulous!
@@molly4193 I agree. Since Liz Taylor's violet eyes, I hv liked purple to enhance the brown. Also, I use blue on my water line. It makes thm look hazel. It also White's my eyes so they look more rested.
Of course now there are bluing eye drops tht do the same. Pencil is more cost effective. People hv commented tht theyv nvr seen a blue ring around hazel or brown eyes. (🙂 it's the pencil.)
@@mariay.279 That sounds gorgeous!
I usually put just black or navy in my waterline, but I think a more vibrant blue would be stunning to make the whites brighter! I used to work in the industry so picked up lots of tips and tricks. 💖
I dyed my hair until 2020 (the salons closed). I was sad saying goodbye to my dark hair. I had to be kind to myself as I mourned my youth. My hair is salt and pepper, I get tons of compliments. I’m 53 and have good moments and sad moments.
Which eye shadow colours would you suggest for "pale" grey-green eyes?
Hi 👋, I would wear any purple/ mauve eye make up with grey-green eyes. These hues will make your eyes more green 🙂
@@molly4193 thank you, I'll try that 😀
Pink and silver do look beautiful together and pink has always been my favorite color. :)
Hi Nikol…. I would love for you to address lip, shadow, and cheek colors for a deeper olive skin tone..
Very classy.
Great video Nikol 👏
I love berry colors!
Omg God bless your gorgeous mommy!❤
Hi, The colors you are showing , are they for all skin tones? I struggle with finding the correct bronzer.
Love you hair and informative videos😊
Love my gray….similar to yours.
It looks great
Hi Nikol, you look beautiful today! What really is the difference between bronzer and blush?
Great video! What do you suggest for blue eyes and blonde hair? I love your Rewrite the Rules ( makes my eyes pop) but would like to add another of your shadows!
Hi 👋, I would wear gold/bronze eye colours it will make your blue eyes pop 💙
@@molly4193thanks! Any shadows in the Nikol collection you'd suggest? Love her buttery shadows!
@@bettysiebert6576 Hi Betty , I'm unfamiliar with Nicol's fabulous range as we can't get it over where I live. I would use a matt brown in your socket line and along your upper lash line, then a shimmer or metallic gold bronze in the eye area between your socket and lash line. It would be stunning. As long as you use a matt shade in your socket line and not a shimmer. Have fun.
@Betty Siebert - Hello Betty - I love Bottled Blonde - looks wonderful on blue eyes.
@@janedelaney4327 thank you Jane! I will go with your suggestion and order that one!
So love your channel because I learn a ton, get great advice and sometimes reinforcement and think your truly committed to help us age fiercely lol. The fact that you are closer to my age, though I am a bit older you set a great classic example over 30 something "influencers" thank you Nikol. Still have total hair envy.
You are so welcome!
I just purchased your Beach House lipstick!!!! Hope it looks as good on me as it does you!! ❤️
Awesome
Hey Nikol, I have gone through the grey hair journey and have also discovered that pink works for me better than ever before. However, I used to rock a red lip prior to age 60 but find that I am now struggling to find lip shades that don’t enhance my ageing yellowing teeth. I have never had beautiful white teeth and can’t whiten and brighten my teeth due to having incredibly sensitive teeth. Can you recommend any particular colours and I love your range but unfortunately you don’t do international shipping. Please include shipping to Australia 🙏
I like a majenta I’m lips,and silver earring always.
