YAY!!! I’m 54 in Dec and I freaking love my makeup. I love it all. I always think will I stop as I get older and I’m glad to hear you’re still wearing what you love!!! I seriously hate when you see articles what women over 50 shouldn’t be wearing. So you turn 50 and glitter and shimmers have to stop and wear boring makeup? Yeah, don’t think so!!! You have any favorites you want to share? ☺️
Go on ladies!! There is no age limit when it comes to having fun with makeup and using it to express your personality! I'm 35 and jave pastel pink hair and a septum ring. My family all told me I was having an early mid life crisis but i dont think so - my outside matches my personality and i enjoy it so thats good enough for me thank you! 😌❤️
Thank you so, so much for this video. I'm 56 and a cancer survivor. My skin changed drastically due to a hysterectomy and chemotherapy. I don't recognize my skin anymore. I feel like the skin on my face is losing its elasticity and my eyelids are drooping. I think it's due to not having estrogen. I have been really struggling with my makeup. Thanks to you I have made my list and tomorrow I'm buying new products. You have no idea what this means to me. You are an angel and I can't thank you enough.
I am 56 and I can say that all of these tips are right on!!! I even learned something.....to apply my foundation with a sponge dampened with setting spray! The only I could possibly add, is to apply powder eye shadow in little tiny circles on the eye skin (especially in the crease) instead of using windshield wiper motions. That way there won't be the splotchiness due to loose skin being moved around.💜
I’m 72 and I think your tips are right on! The only thing I do differently is to wear one of the newer more high makeups that contain skin care and are a more natural finish. The dewy, radiant foundations just magnify my texture. Of course I’m a LOT older than you!😊
My mom is 70. She hardly ever wears makeup. But sometimes she wants to dress up a bit or she just feels tired and wants to look a little more put together. As someone who likes makeup, but only really knows what works for me these video are amazing. I use a lot of these tips (mid 20's). I have a combo to dry skin. I use cream products more and it has made such a difference!
As a tip to help any dry patches on the face, use a hydrating eye cream to spot treat those dry patches. Use it after your moisturizer but before your primer.
Thanks for this video. I’m almost 62 years and appreciate these tips. Really like the L’Oréal concealer. Purchased on your recommendation. You’re such a beautiful person inside and out!!!
Awesome video! I’m 47, almost 48; and I have hooded eyes. One thing I do to make my eyes look more open is to reverse the outer corner and the lid shade. So the inner 1/3 is your dark shade and the outer 2/3 is your lid shade. You can still add a touch of shimmer or highlighter to the inner corner to add light and more drama. It really opens the eyes. Also use a darker shadow to line under the eye to sweep up in a under the eye started wing.
Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful tips. I’m 60 and have already been doing many of these techniques. I have to add my favorite complexion products.... the Elf primer, the Wet n Wild Tinted Hydrator, the NYX Bare With Me concealer, and of course the Elf Halo Glow Powder. I have crepey eyelids, and use mostly matte shadows. But I will use the cream and sugar palette shimmers on the middle of my lid. The setting spray that works best is the Catrice Illuminating setting spray!!
I REALLY loved this episode! It be great if monthly you had one episode on a certain day that was a review / suggestion day on products for 40 and above. :)
🥰 You’re so pretty 😍 How refreshing, a MUA telling us we are “allowed” to still wear glitter make up, at or over the age of 40. I now feel awful if I dare to go against the rule! Also I appreciate that you’re using affordable make up, that most of us can afford. Due to disability and palliative care, I don’t have money for high end make up. Even though I’m bed bound, I enjoy doing my make up. It might seem pointless to many, since I don’t get up, but it passes time, and distracts from pain and the situation. It also helps my Children to not see me looking deathly pale 🫣 which in turn makes them feel better. Thanks so much for all these recommendations ♥️ especially the elf ones - they will be going on my Christmas list. 🎄
Newbie here. I absolutely love your vids. My one concern and it is barely mentioned is sunscreen. I feel for aging skin it is so important to protect it as much as possible. Please share with us what you do to protect from the sun’s harmful rays
I am ALLLLLL about the SPF. I live in Seattle and I still put sunscreen on before leaving the house…I struggle to find one that isn’t greasy, doesn’t break me out, and without a price tag that necessitates skipping a few meals a day!!
I’m sorry, I believe most people use sunscreen as skincare and not makeup. She also didn’t mention eye cream for prep. While if someone didn’t mention a skincare product in a makeup video does not mean it isn’t used.
Another great product to use for feathering lipsticks, is a clear lip liner. I know it doesn't sound like much but let me tell you it works wonders for keeping lip colors inside the lip lines. Stay blessed!
I'm 37, and I recently picked up the e.l.f poreless putty primer because I wanted to try something w/ thicker consistency because I have skin that's on the drier side. I really like it. It sits nice under my foundation and makes my skin look smoother and more "plump." I apply it and wait like 10 mins or so before foundation.
I love watching your videos. As a woman with an oily complexion, who lives in Florida, and is also 39 I find I relate to you more than anyone else. That being said, I'm 100% team lower lash mascara. 😂 It looks beautiful on you, but I feel like mine disguise any fine lines in my under eye area.
Hey Zabrena! You're so polite when you talk to us "older ladies!" Telling us about more mature lips and the "tiny lines" around them! Where do you see tiny lines? Mine are crevasses, like the deep canyons in the mountains! I use a filler stick by NYX, then a creamy concealer. Once the concealer has set, I use NYX lip liner in "Peekaboo Neutral" to line and fill. I push it into the lip with a fingertip, then blot with a tissue. Then I apply gloss or lipstick over for the starting lip of the day. Colored balms only for touchups later in the day; once that lip liner has faded, there's no turning back. Now if I could just figure out how to make my hair stay put without getting hairspray on my face...
Thank you for the patient and well informed approach to this subject! You are so kind and graceful in your delivery for this topic! I hope your family is doing well!
When you first mentioned leaving the lower lash line bare to help look younger I tried it and I agree. It works for me and I have been doing it ever since.
Thank you for this video. I am 56 and have good skin, but love new tips and products. No glittery products for me! I need matte but love drama. You really hit the mark with this video. Yay girl! So true with under eye advice!
Thank you for another great video. I love seeing that you hit pan on your eyeshadow. It’s so nice to see an influencer use their makeup and not constantly recommend buy this new product.
Your hair is absolutely beautiful! I have wavy hair and I love it. When I was doing hair for a living it always amazed me that people with curly hair wanted straight hair and people with straight hair was curly hair. Just enjoy how God made you! It's so much easier and you can always find beautiful ways to do your hair no matter how it grows out of your scalp. Be happy you have hair! Some women don't!
I’ve been waiting for you to do this for my 57 yr old face!!!! Thank you sweet darling❤PS…I have 3 brow hairs and 3 hairs on one leg and 2 on the other 😂😂😂
My brows have been complete creations since I was 17. Overplucked; Mom wasn't home. I'm lucky to have the bottom line on each brow to build from. I currently use three products every time: a pencil, a felt-tip with three prongs, and a powder. They are beautiful when I'm done, but a lot of work! PS: I'm 63 next month! Lots of time spent on these brows...
I started leaving mascara off my lower lashes probably about 3-4 yrs ago and it definitely helps with a more youthful appearance IMO. I’m in my early-mid 40’s. My lashes are nice and long, even the bottom ones so it was giving me shadows making my hollows more noticeable with mascara. I have very oily skin and so that helps me look youthful but using cream products is also a help too and can be done if applied correctly for my skin type. Everything was a learning curve for me after 33. We have to switch up routines to keep it fresh. I never had much brow hair anyways lol, also blonde so brow products are a MUST. TFS all the tips! 💕
This makeup look is beautiful! It's fresh and natural, I feel it would be flattering both on mature and young skin and it would be very romantic and timeless as a wedding makeup.
Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! That is my recommendation for everyone, young and old. That is the easiest thing one can do to slow the appearance of age. I know this isn’t the focus on this video but I had to say it. ☺️
Very nearsighted 38 year old here, and I only line my eyes with eyeshadow. It just works the best for me. My Mum promises that hair growth does slow down on the legs... eventually. I have never liked anything on my lower lashline-good to know it will help as I get older!
Girl you’re gonna have to get you a backup for the “I like you a latte” palette for that one shade! It’s my favorite shade in that palette too. It’s ever so slightly cooler than the other mid tone. It’s perfection.
Hey Zabrena! I wanted to thank you for all your hard work and passion you put into these videos! You are really helping many of us in so many ways!! I love your tips!! You're such a beautiful person inside and out! 💕 Thank you and much love sent to you!!! Xo Jody
I've been fortunate enough to come across a foundation that's a powder foundation and who knew! It's lord Geller's baked balance and glow and boy does that hide a multitude a situations going on in the face it's beautiful now you want to have a glow though but it really is a bang-up job piece of cosmetic. Loving light to you :-)
Thank you so much for this video. I’m 51 with dry skin, so all of this information was pertinent to me. I love your videos and have learned so much from you. Thank you!
At 75, I have found that continued use of great skincare is an absolute necessity. I have used Lancôme and Estée Lauder skincare for years and with good genes as well, I have very few wrinkles. I also worked in an aluminum foundry so used a full coverage foundation to help protect my skin from all the crap in the air.
I love the tip for blending foundation with setting spray on the sponge! I have a weird tip for the lips. It keeps the color from feathering and I get a moist shimmery finish. I don't care for a glossy or glassy finish on my lips. So, what I do is apply a VERY THIN layer of a very sticky, shimmery gloss first (Buxom plumping shimmer gloss). Then, with a brush I apply a Satin finish lipstick (Revlon Super Lustrous). This lasts, doesn't bleed and I get a very nice finish. My inspiration for this moist shimmering look was Uma Thurman in the Kill Bill movies and just her look in general which was very dewy and fresh.
Patrick Ta recommends putting his cream blush over the powder. I don’t have his palette, so I tried it with what I have. It looked beautiful and lasted all day. I was quite pleased and have taken to using that technique routinely.
I'm 47 & a quadriplegic. I love Fourth Ray Beauty hydrating & regular moisturizers. I have extremely hooded eyed & all shadows transfer. I also pat ALL my shadows on, rarely do tiny "swipes". As for my brows I use an eye shadow for a natural soft look. I'll use a gel only for special events. I have combo skin so I use a mineral powder foundation only on my T zone. I agree about cream everything else & only use powder products as toppers for more colour & only for special events. For my lips I LOVE Colourpop's glowing lip lipstick/balms. As the balm wears off the color stays.
Love, love, love this makeup look. Will be getting the eye shadows and the blush. Tks so much I'm 59 and I am a skin care an makeup fanatic. Love you Zabrina
Colourpop makes a great lip primer in a stick that is invisible. It keeps my lipstick ON MY LIPS. No migrating lipstick! or lip liner! It’s called Lippie Stix, color: Primer. Thanks for this video. I think your suggestion of using a makeup sponge to lift the skin on the orbital bone is BRILLIANT!! ❤🤗✝️
I will be 57 next week and love the you showed tips for more mature skin - especially for the eyes! Those e.l.f. eyeshadow are an amazing value and their colors are beautiful. I haven't tried the one you used - they look really orange on me - but the rose and blue palettes are so pretty. One last thing, the e.l.f. putty primer eyeshadow primer compares to Lancome but is creamier - which is great for more mature eyes. And the taupe/beige color hides and evens out my natural eyelid color which has changed over the years. Like so many other things have... haha! Loved the video!
Thank you for addressing some problems that we not young beautiful women may be having with makeup application. I am 73 and look pretty darn good for my age. A couple of thoughts..SUNSCREEN, always clean and moisturize, and day before yesterday I was 28 years old. YES, IT'S THAT FAST. Enjoy life. Take care of yourself and pray.
You are obviously a makeup expert and do a wonderful job applying. In my humble opinion though, your natural skin is most beautiful. Really. It's so pretty with your freckles and slightly pink skin. You're naturally lovely.
I just discovered you tonight (& subscribed), & love the few video's I've seen thus far. I am a fair redhead, too, (though my hair is auburn). I have hazel eyes, & favor all shades of green, bronze, sienna, cinnamon , as well as Grey's & mauves/pinks. Your lip colors are my favorites, as well. What I'm trying to say, is that I've finally found someone with my coloring , who mentors over age 40 women dealing with maturing skin issues. Thank you for helping us glow, in an age where the industry is hyper focused on teens/twenties. I also love your kind, generous, spirit, that adds to your incredible beauty! Given these hard times, following the Covid-19 yrs. , when our money seems to be shrinking, as prices are climbing to outrageous levels, your emphasis on "Drug Store" make-up options is appreciated. (Last I checked, a Charlotte Tillbury lipstick costs $37 ! ) I think the quality of Drugstore makeup has also improved dramatically , rivaling legacy luxury brands. As I was watching your well thought through videos, I felt encouraged to add a few of my favorite products, here. Since my discovery of BB Cream Foundations, it has been a game changer. I'm 56, & have taken great care of my skin from my teens, faithfully using sunscreen, & age appropriate skin care. Skincare is the foundation from which all our make-up can glow. BB Cream is kind-of like skincare. You can also mix up your own, by mixing your Foundation with your moisturizer, blending on your hand, to apply over your primed skin. Talk about glowing! It works wonders! Also, someone mentioned sunscreen , & I found Milani has a SETTING SPRAY with SPF30 in it. How cool is that! Also wanted to give a shout out to Amazon for offering every brand out there at 1/2 the price of Drugstores. Plus, there are many good Indy brands offered, too, to explore. Most items are returneable, if they don't turn out. Read the reviews to gain perspectives on the product, so you make a good choice. I look forward to watching more of your video's. God bless - Cheryl
I've been watching a lot of beauty and make up videos, and I have to say your video, voice and description of products is the best I've seen so far. Thank you for this informative way of helping the aging women look youthful.
Thank you for including those of us with maturing skin (eyes, body....) Just turned 50. I use sunscreen every day (mostly) Olay Complete Daily Defense moisturizer (fragrance free). It has a little bit of a cast but it goes away. Have been using retinol for a year and it has been a big help. Both have really helped my fine lines and age spots fade. It took 3-5 months to be able to use retinol every day. I started with Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle repair (fragrance free) & now use Olay Retinol 24 MAX (fragrance free). Hoping to make it up to a prescription retinol product. Recently added the Eucerin CoQ10 fragrance free cream. It has made a big difference with my skin keeping moisture in. As for makeup, I use a gray eyeliner under my top eyelashes, not in the waterline. It thickens the lash line without taking up real estate on the lid. I can do a little flick out at the end but nothing too big. Wayne Goss has a video (14 Oct 2022) about using a wet base and pressing your eyeshadow in. Has worked great so far with great color payoff and no creasing. I've been using L'oreal Age Perfect tinted balm to do Wayne's technique. I warm my eyelash curler briefly with the hairdryer and curl my eyelashes. It really helps to open up the eyes. For my lips (because I love lippy) I use the Maybelline clear lip liner around the outside and along my lip line. You can use it on your whole lip for staying power. Really prevents lip products from going into any lines. The Maybelline Vinyl Ink lipsticks do not budge, even without lip liner and thankfully they're not matte. Hope that they increase their color offering. Another thing that really helps me is redefining my lips as Lisa Eldridge does in her (6 Nov 2020) video "My Lip Lift Technique - Makeup Tips for Happy Lips." I do not define my cupids bow as younger persons can, but just connect from one tip to the other to have a fuller top lip (since it seems like the first one to go.) I started watching way back when you were doing makeup of the different eras and stayed. Thanks for your positive content.
Thank you gorgeous! I’m 48 and I need all the advice and tips I can get. Love ya. God bless, Steph! Oh and girrrrrl your lash line is still my favorite!
I finallylearned that waterproof mascara is the biggest cause of lash fallout next to eyelash extensions!! Many mascaras are water-resistant & they do a fabulous job. They don't run down your face in the rain & take a little effort to remove. TRY & you might be surprised. I've been using Loreal Voluminous for years (regular formula not waterproof).
Thank you for this tutorial. I am 68 and have changed many things about my makeup routine and skin care. I find wearing foundation to be very difficult so I tend to use tinted moisturizers. I also use e.l.f. putty blushes and bronzers for eyeshadows. I love following you as I am also a redhead which feels sometimes like more of a "condition" than a description of hair color-lol but it is very helpful to have tips for redheads also.
Hello gorgeous!! I’m 61 and I tap on my eyeshadow now instead of window wipe it on. Helps fill in the little crevices and cracks to get filled in with the eyeshadow, and I love it!! Tfs and happy holidays to you and your family❤
Hi there, Zabrena!! I sooo appreciate your videos!! All of them!! This one was very helpful to me. I'm 56 years young, and I live in the Florida humidity, so your tips for combo/oily skin, are so awesome!! Have a wonderful and blessed weekend!! Take care. ❤️
I love Tarte tingle treatment.. I don't have acne. But, it does keep the dry dead skin off and makes makeup (and skin in general) looks so much better. I, also, use it on my special adult son for his acne. I can't even tell you how many bottles we have gone through. Its a wonderful product I follow with a thick vitamin C cream. I just turned 50.
Love this! Super helpful. Out of curiosity, do you have any plans of doing more of your makeup history/icons videos? Those were the ones that initially pulled me into watching your content. It’s been a while since I’ve seen one pop up.
Hello darlin, im a woman of a certain age. Over 50. New here. Im new to makeup techniques, ive never seen anyone do eyes before foundation. Interesting. Love that look. Ty
Zabrena, your videos are always so thoughtful, and your shining personality and warmth really come through. I am so glad that you lined your eyes in this video with eyeshadow since I would prefer to line my eyes this way as well. I am one of your older subscribers and think that this method is gentler on mature eyelid skin. However, I am still using pencils and struggling, partially due to poor close vision and also eyelid skin that is no longer taught. Problem is, I have not found an eyeliner brush that works well with eyeshadow that is dry. I would prefer not to have to dampen the brush, and it looks like you did not do so in this video. I would really appreciate a recommendation for a brush that would work well either way - dry or dampened. I don't care if it's expensive since eyeliner is one of my most important eye makeup products. Your eyeliner looked beautiful in the look you achieved here. Also, always look forward to and appreciate your scriptural citations :)
This is a great video. You are aging so gracefully!! I am 36 so these tips are very helpful. Something I've started doing in the last year is dying my lashes and brows. Those spots always bleach a lot for me in the sun so dying them brings definition back to my face. If I want to skip makeup, I still look healthy and awake. Since you mentioned not using product on the lower lash line, dye might be a great option.
THANK YOU!! I love this video. I’m 66, and can’t wait to try the products that you have mentioned. I was stunned to find out that is non-feathering lip liner! That one is going to be more than welcome in my beauty kit. Love and Blessings to You!
I am almost 56, I have never worn a lot of makeup, but my routine now is skin care first, then primer and mineral foundation. I don't like wearing blusher but will apply some lipstick to my cheeks sometimes and also sometimes some bronzer. My eyes I wear one colour most days over the lid but on special occasions I wear a shimmer type eyeshadow. Rarely wear mascara as it irritates my eyes but will wear a brownish coloured eye liner on the out part of my lower lash line and blend it out. It's what works for me these days. I will use a bb cream or tinted moisturiser on days I want a quick even finish to my skin.
Hi I just finished watching your video I loved it I’m 53 and I wanted to share a little trick I do that has really made a difference I use Nivea cold cream in the blue jar as a eye mask every night before bedtime it has really helped me with the fine lines around eye area
Thanks for another BRILLIANT video!! i find myself watching your videos o mute and still learning sooooo much!! I hope you and your family are doing well and are safe and healthy!! Thank you so much!!
My favorite foundation is the Smashbox halo tinted moisturizer. It has an spf in it and goes on a bit darker than you expect. As it dries down or you powder it, it lightens a bit. Long lasting and buildable to almost a medium coverage. Very hydrating too.
We're the same age! 39 about to be 40 in the next 3 months 😍😘 thank you for all the tips, your time and recommendations! Much appreciated 😘❤️ God bless you 🙏🙌
I just subscribed recently and I’m loving your videos!! I feel like you and I have the same taste in makeup. So If there’s something you’re recommending that I haven’t tried I feel like it’s not a risk to buy because it’s gonna be something I like. Plus I love that you recommend drug store products. You’re awesome keep up the good work! 😊
Great video! I'm 58, and have found a lot of these techniques to be useful. I'd also like to see a video for natural/no makeup makeup looks- I don't wear makeup often, but I do really like a natural look, not 'made-up'...
I am 58 and love your content! I was so surprised and pleased to see you use the Grown Alchemist Hydra Repair Day Cream. I have been using it for two years ever since I received it by chance in a Fab Fit Fun box. XO
Have to thank you for your truly waterproof mascara testing video! I just had vacation and was trying to think what to bring and try for the beach and pool and remembered you did that video. I checked it out and got the exhibitionist waterproof (two stores to find the last one) and it was great with kids splashing me and nothing looking messy. It came off with Clinique take the day off balm pretty easily with gently rubbing too. Thank you - first one that actually made my lashes look good. Others are hard to apply clumpy and just not good.
I was interested in trying your tip concerning eliminating underlining the eyes. My waterline is pinkish and not lining it looked awkward. NYX to the rescue! Their jumbo eye pencil in the color Iced Latte is the perfect flesh tone. I swipe it on my waterline and it looks great. There is the slightest satin finish to the shadow so I think it even brightens the waterline.
I love using eyeshadow as liner. I did it in my younger years too. I even had a friend ask me how I got my eyeliner so perfect. She was surprised when I said it was eyeshadow.
Have you ever worked with Palladio I'm Blushing? It it a cream blush and lipstick. I use it on dab and dash days. I can use this as a blush, throw some mascara and lip treatment on and go.

As a tip to help any dry patches on the face, use a hydrating eye cream to spot treat those dry patches. Use it after your moisturizer but before your primer.

I’m sorry, I believe most people use sunscreen as skincare and not makeup. She also didn’t mention eye cream for prep. While if someone didn’t mention a skincare product in a makeup video does not mean it isn’t used.
Another great product to use for feathering lipsticks, is a clear lip liner. I know it doesn't sound like much but let me tell you it works wonders for keeping lip colors inside the lip lines. Stay blessed!
I'm 37, and I recently picked up the e.l.f poreless putty primer because I wanted to try something w/ thicker consistency because I have skin that's on the drier side. I really like it. It sits nice under my foundation and makes my skin look smoother and more "plump." I apply it and wait like 10 mins or so before foundation.
Do you also apply sunscreen underneath? I wear it everyday and the problem of products piling on top of my sunscreen is one i always consider!
Sadly it did not work for my mature dry skin.age 49.
I forget I have that. I’m pulling it out now so I can wear it today
I love watching your videos. As a woman with an oily complexion, who lives in Florida, and is also 39 I find I relate to you more than anyone else. That being said, I'm 100% team lower lash mascara. 😂 It looks beautiful on you, but I feel like mine disguise any fine lines in my under eye area.
That is awesome! You gotta do what works for you and gives you confidence! Thank you for sharing your perspective!
Hey Zabrena! You're so polite when you talk to us "older ladies!" Telling us about more mature lips and the "tiny lines" around them! Where do you see tiny lines? Mine are crevasses, like the deep canyons in the mountains! I use a filler stick by NYX, then a creamy concealer. Once the concealer has set, I use NYX lip liner in "Peekaboo Neutral" to line and fill. I push it into the lip with a fingertip, then blot with a tissue. Then I apply gloss or lipstick over for the starting lip of the day. Colored balms only for touchups later in the day; once that lip liner has faded, there's no turning back. Now if I could just figure out how to make my hair stay put without getting hairspray on my face...
@@johannaholmgren8088 You know, the man in my life and home has plenty of baseball caps! Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for the patient and well informed approach to this subject! You are so kind and graceful in your delivery for this topic! I hope your family is doing well!
I've been leaving my under eye plain and it work beautifully without makeup especially the mascara love it, thanks to you Amiga 🌹
When you first mentioned leaving the lower lash line bare to help look younger I tried it and I agree. It works for me and I have been doing it ever since.
thank you for giving us drugstore products for mature skin ,the more skin lines is hard to find ways to look good 👍the sponge trick is great
What a thorough, thoughtful video! My 70 yr old face thanks you! 💖
You are most welcome!
Thank you so very much! At 65 I appreciate any help I can get! Keep up sharing your words of encouragement & scripture passages!
Thank you for this video. I am 56 and have good skin, but love new tips and products. No glittery products for me! I need matte but love drama. You really hit the mark with this video. Yay girl! So true with under eye advice!
Thank you for another great video. I love seeing that you hit pan on your eyeshadow. It’s so nice to see an influencer use their makeup and not constantly recommend buy this new product.
Your hair is absolutely beautiful! I have wavy hair and I love it. When I was doing hair for a living it always amazed me that people with curly hair wanted straight hair and people with straight hair was curly hair. Just enjoy how God made you! It's so much easier and you can always find beautiful ways to do your hair no matter how it grows out of your scalp. Be happy you have hair! Some women don't!
I’ve been waiting for you to do this for my 57 yr old face!!!! Thank you sweet darling❤PS…I have 3 brow hairs and 3 hairs on one leg and 2 on the other 😂😂😂
Tina you are timeless and you know it girl!!
Tina: I’m 2 years ahead of you and can totally relate. 😂. I don’t mind the naked legs now, but my eyebrows have become a real issue. ✌🏻💖💄
Lol, I'm 58 and my neanderthal eyebrows have finally shrunk to something smaller than normal. They use to go down the side of my eyes, lol
My brows have been complete creations since I was 17. Overplucked; Mom wasn't home. I'm lucky to have the bottom line on each brow to build from. I currently use three products every time: a pencil, a felt-tip with three prongs, and a powder. They are beautiful when I'm done, but a lot of work! PS: I'm 63 next month! Lots of time spent on these brows...
63 & counting, friends. I haven't gotten around to counting my eyebrow hairs, I'm busy counting my vertical lip lines (sigh...12, 13, 14...)
I started leaving mascara off my lower lashes probably about 3-4 yrs ago and it definitely helps with a more youthful appearance IMO. I’m in my early-mid 40’s. My lashes are nice and long, even the bottom ones so it was giving me shadows making my hollows more noticeable with mascara. I have very oily skin and so that helps me look youthful but using cream products is also a help too and can be done if applied correctly for my skin type. Everything was a learning curve for me after 33. We have to switch up routines to keep it fresh. I never had much brow hair anyways lol, also blonde so brow products are a MUST. TFS all the tips! 💕
This makeup look is beautiful! It's fresh and natural, I feel it would be flattering both on mature and young skin and it would be very romantic and timeless as a wedding makeup.
Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! That is my recommendation for everyone, young and old. That is the easiest thing one can do to slow the appearance of age. I know this isn’t the focus on this video but I had to say it. ☺️
Very nearsighted 38 year old here, and I only line my eyes with eyeshadow. It just works the best for me.
My Mum promises that hair growth does slow down on the legs... eventually.
I have never liked anything on my lower lashline-good to know it will help as I get older!
Such a beautiful face! No wrinkles, toned, you are gorgeous!
What a great video Zabrena! It was so informative and detailed. Thank you taking the time to make it. Blessings!!!
Girl you’re gonna have to get you a backup for the “I like you a latte” palette for that one shade! It’s my favorite shade in that palette too. It’s ever so slightly cooler than the other mid tone. It’s perfection.
Hey Zabrena! I wanted to thank you for all your hard work and passion you put into these videos! You are really helping many of us in so many ways!! I love your tips!! You're such a beautiful person inside and out! 💕 Thank you and much love sent to you!!! Xo Jody
I've been fortunate enough to come across a foundation that's a powder foundation and who knew! It's lord Geller's baked balance and glow and boy does that hide a multitude a situations going on in the face it's beautiful now you want to have a glow though but it really is a bang-up job piece of cosmetic. Loving light to you :-)
Love your videos and advice. I am 77 years young and have always loved makeup since i was 13 years old. Best to you always. You are a beautiful lady.❤
Thank you so much for this video. I’m 51 with dry skin, so all of this information was pertinent to me. I love your videos and have learned so much from you. Thank you!
At 75, I have found that continued use of great skincare is an absolute necessity. I have used Lancôme and Estée Lauder skincare for years and with good genes as well, I have very few wrinkles.
I also worked in an aluminum foundry so used a full coverage foundation to help protect my skin from all the crap in the air.
I love the tip for blending foundation with setting spray on the sponge!
I have a weird tip for the lips. It keeps the color from feathering and I get a moist shimmery finish. I don't care for a glossy or glassy finish on my lips. So, what I do is apply a VERY THIN layer of a very sticky, shimmery gloss first (Buxom plumping shimmer gloss). Then, with a brush I apply a Satin finish lipstick (Revlon Super Lustrous). This lasts, doesn't bleed and I get a very nice finish. My inspiration for this moist shimmering look was Uma Thurman in the Kill Bill movies and just her look in general which was very dewy and fresh.
Patrick Ta recommends putting his cream blush over the powder. I don’t have his palette, so I tried it with what I have. It looked beautiful and lasted all day. I was quite pleased and have taken to using that technique routinely.
I'm 47 & a quadriplegic. I love Fourth Ray Beauty hydrating & regular moisturizers. I have extremely hooded eyed & all shadows transfer. I also pat ALL my shadows on, rarely do tiny "swipes". As for my brows I use an eye shadow for a natural soft look. I'll use a gel only for special events. I have combo skin so I use a mineral powder foundation only on my T zone. I agree about cream everything else & only use powder products as toppers for more colour & only for special events. For my lips I LOVE Colourpop's glowing lip lipstick/balms. As the balm wears off the color stays.
Love, love, love this makeup look. Will be getting the eye shadows and the blush. Tks so much I'm 59 and I am a skin care an makeup fanatic. Love you Zabrina
Colourpop makes a great lip primer in a stick that is invisible. It keeps my lipstick ON MY LIPS. No migrating lipstick! or lip liner!
It’s called Lippie Stix, color: Primer.
Thanks for this video. I think your suggestion of using a makeup sponge to lift the skin on the orbital bone is BRILLIANT!! ❤🤗✝️
Thank you for this video! I appreciate the tips on the eyeshadow. I'm 50 and needed these tips.
I will be 57 next week and love the you showed tips for more mature skin - especially for the eyes! Those e.l.f. eyeshadow are an amazing value and their colors are beautiful. I haven't tried the one you used - they look really orange on me - but the rose and blue palettes are so pretty. One last thing, the e.l.f. putty primer eyeshadow primer compares to Lancome but is creamier - which is great for more mature eyes. And the taupe/beige color hides and evens out my natural eyelid color which has changed over the years. Like so many other things have... haha! Loved the video!
I like to wear hydrating eye patches as I do my upper lids. Then follow a lil Embryollise. Im almost 50 and this helps so well
Thank you for addressing some problems that we not young beautiful women may be having with makeup application. I am 73 and look pretty darn good for my age. A couple of thoughts..SUNSCREEN, always clean and moisturize, and day before yesterday I was 28 years old. YES, IT'S THAT FAST. Enjoy life. Take care of yourself and pray.
Gorgeous! ❤️
You are obviously a makeup expert and do a wonderful job applying. In my humble opinion though, your natural skin is most beautiful. Really. It's so pretty with your freckles and slightly pink skin. You're naturally lovely.
I just discovered you tonight (& subscribed), & love the few video's I've seen thus far. I am a fair redhead, too, (though my hair is auburn). I have hazel eyes, & favor all shades of green, bronze, sienna, cinnamon , as well as Grey's & mauves/pinks. Your lip colors are my favorites, as well. What I'm trying to say, is that I've finally found someone with my coloring , who mentors over age 40 women dealing with maturing skin issues. Thank you for helping us glow, in an age where the industry is hyper focused on teens/twenties.
I also love your kind, generous, spirit, that adds to your incredible beauty! Given these hard times, following the Covid-19 yrs. , when our money seems to be shrinking, as prices are climbing to outrageous levels, your emphasis on "Drug Store" make-up options is appreciated. (Last I checked, a Charlotte Tillbury lipstick costs $37 ! ) I think the quality of Drugstore makeup has also improved dramatically , rivaling legacy luxury brands.
As I was watching your well thought through videos, I felt encouraged to add a few of my favorite products, here. Since my discovery of BB Cream Foundations, it has been a game changer. I'm 56, & have taken great care of my skin from my teens, faithfully using sunscreen, & age appropriate skin care. Skincare is the foundation from which all our make-up can glow. BB Cream is kind-of like skincare. You can also mix up your own, by mixing your Foundation with your moisturizer, blending on your hand, to apply over your primed skin. Talk about glowing! It works wonders! Also, someone mentioned sunscreen , & I found Milani has a SETTING SPRAY with SPF30 in it. How cool is that! Also wanted to give a shout out to Amazon for offering every brand out there at 1/2 the price of Drugstores. Plus, there are many good Indy brands offered, too, to explore. Most items are returneable, if they don't turn out. Read the reviews to gain perspectives on the product, so you make a good choice.
I look forward to watching more of your video's.
God bless - Cheryl
I've been watching a lot of beauty and make up videos, and I have to say your video, voice and description of products is the best I've seen so far. Thank you for this informative way of helping the aging women look youthful.
As usual, another great tutorial! You never disappoint me. ❤️
Thank you for including those of us with maturing skin (eyes, body....) Just turned 50. I use sunscreen every day (mostly) Olay Complete Daily Defense moisturizer (fragrance free). It has a little bit of a cast but it goes away. Have been using retinol for a year and it has been a big help. Both have really helped my fine lines and age spots fade. It took 3-5 months to be able to use retinol every day. I started with Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle repair (fragrance free) & now use Olay Retinol 24 MAX (fragrance free). Hoping to make it up to a prescription retinol product. Recently added the Eucerin CoQ10 fragrance free cream. It has made a big difference with my skin keeping moisture in.
As for makeup, I use a gray eyeliner under my top eyelashes, not in the waterline. It thickens the lash line without taking up real estate on the lid. I can do a little flick out at the end but nothing too big. Wayne Goss has a video (14 Oct 2022) about using a wet base and pressing your eyeshadow in. Has worked great so far with great color payoff and no creasing. I've been using L'oreal Age Perfect tinted balm to do Wayne's technique. I warm my eyelash curler briefly with the hairdryer and curl my eyelashes. It really helps to open up the eyes.
For my lips (because I love lippy) I use the Maybelline clear lip liner around the outside and along my lip line. You can use it on your whole lip for staying power. Really prevents lip products from going into any lines. The Maybelline Vinyl Ink lipsticks do not budge, even without lip liner and thankfully they're not matte. Hope that they increase their color offering. Another thing that really helps me is redefining my lips as Lisa Eldridge does in her (6 Nov 2020) video "My Lip Lift Technique - Makeup Tips for Happy Lips." I do not define my cupids bow as younger persons can, but just connect from one tip to the other to have a fuller top lip (since it seems like the first one to go.)
I started watching way back when you were doing makeup of the different eras and stayed. Thanks for your positive content.
ELF's lash & brow serum is AMAZING. It actually gave me BROWS for the first time ever (late 30's). Can't recommend it enough!
Thank you gorgeous! I’m 48 and I need all the advice and tips I can get. Love ya. God bless, Steph! Oh and girrrrrl your lash line is still my favorite!
I just loved this video . I’m older and this was filled with great finds
I finallylearned that waterproof mascara is the biggest cause of lash fallout next to eyelash extensions!! Many mascaras are water-resistant & they do a fabulous job. They don't run down your face in the rain & take a little effort to remove. TRY & you might be surprised. I've been using Loreal Voluminous for years (regular formula not waterproof).
Thank you for this tutorial. I am 68 and have changed many things about my makeup routine and skin care. I find wearing foundation to be very difficult so I tend to use tinted moisturizers. I also use e.l.f. putty blushes and bronzers for eyeshadows. I love following you as I am also a redhead which feels sometimes like more of a "condition" than a description of hair color-lol but it is very helpful to have tips for redheads also.
Hello gorgeous!! I’m 61 and I tap on my eyeshadow now instead of window wipe it on. Helps fill in the little crevices and cracks to get filled in with the eyeshadow, and I love it!! Tfs and happy holidays to you and your family❤
Hi there, Zabrena!! I sooo appreciate your videos!! All of them!! This one was very helpful to me. I'm 56 years young, and I live in the Florida humidity, so your tips for combo/oily skin, are so awesome!! Have a wonderful and blessed weekend!! Take care. ❤️
Looking great for 39 💜💜
I love Tarte tingle treatment.. I don't have acne. But, it does keep the dry dead skin off and makes makeup (and skin in general) looks so much better. I, also, use it on my special adult son for his acne. I can't even tell you how many bottles we have gone through. Its a wonderful product I follow with a thick vitamin C cream. I just turned 50.
Thank you so much! I hate the makeup that accentuates the fine lines and dries out the skin. This has helped me a lot!
Love this! Super helpful. Out of curiosity, do you have any plans of doing more of your makeup history/icons videos? Those were the ones that initially pulled me into watching your content. It’s been a while since I’ve seen one pop up.
Hello darlin, im a woman of a certain age. Over 50. New here. Im new to makeup techniques, ive never seen anyone do eyes before foundation. Interesting. Love that look. Ty
Zabrena, your videos are always so thoughtful, and your shining personality and warmth really come through. I am so glad that you lined your eyes in this video with eyeshadow since I would prefer to line my eyes this way as well. I am one of your older subscribers and think that this method is gentler on mature eyelid skin. However, I am still using pencils and struggling, partially due to poor close vision and also eyelid skin that is no longer taught. Problem is, I have not found an eyeliner brush that works well with eyeshadow that is dry. I would prefer not to have to dampen the brush, and it looks like you did not do so in this video. I would really appreciate a recommendation for a brush that would work well either way - dry or dampened. I don't care if it's expensive since eyeliner is one of my most important eye makeup products. Your eyeliner looked beautiful in the look you achieved here. Also, always look forward to and appreciate your scriptural citations :)
This is a great video. You are aging so gracefully!! I am 36 so these tips are very helpful. Something I've started doing in the last year is dying my lashes and brows. Those spots always bleach a lot for me in the sun so dying them brings definition back to my face. If I want to skip makeup, I still look healthy and awake. Since you mentioned not using product on the lower lash line, dye might be a great option.
THANK YOU!! I love this video. I’m 66, and can’t wait to try the products that you have mentioned. I was stunned to find out that is non-feathering lip liner! That one is going to be more than welcome in my beauty kit.
Love and Blessings to You!
I am almost 56, I have never worn a lot of makeup, but my routine now is skin care first, then primer and mineral foundation. I don't like wearing blusher but will apply some lipstick to my cheeks sometimes and also sometimes some bronzer. My eyes I wear one colour most days over the lid but on special occasions I wear a shimmer type eyeshadow. Rarely wear mascara as it irritates my eyes but will wear a brownish coloured eye liner on the out part of my lower lash line and blend it out. It's what works for me these days. I will use a bb cream or tinted moisturiser on days I want a quick even finish to my skin.
Hi I just finished watching your video
I loved it
I’m 53 and I wanted to share a little trick I do that has really made a difference
I use Nivea cold cream in the blue jar as a eye mask every night before bedtime it has really helped me with the fine lines around eye area
Thanks for another BRILLIANT video!!
i find myself watching your videos o mute and still learning sooooo much!!
I hope you and your family are doing well and are safe and healthy!!
Thank you so much!!
I’m so glad I found you. I’m red head and freckles so I’m following you. Ty
My favorite foundation is the Smashbox halo tinted moisturizer. It has an spf in it and goes on a bit darker than you expect. As it dries down or you powder it, it lightens a bit. Long lasting and buildable to almost a medium coverage. Very hydrating too.
Thanks for sharing!! MUAH!
Great video Zabrena, and congratulations on the continued success of your channel!
I set my face with powder after primer. Great results!
Thank you for sharing the best way to find your lip colour 🫶🏼👏
We're the same age! 39 about to be 40 in the next 3 months 😍😘 thank you for all the tips, your time and recommendations! Much appreciated 😘❤️ God bless you 🙏🙌
I just subscribed recently and I’m loving your videos!! I feel like you and I have the same taste in makeup. So If there’s something you’re recommending that I haven’t tried I feel like it’s not a risk to buy because it’s gonna be something I like. Plus I love that you recommend drug store products. You’re awesome keep up the good work! 😊
Thank you so much and a huge welcome to you! HUGS! :)
Great video! I'm 58, and have found a lot of these techniques to be useful. I'd also like to see a video for natural/no makeup makeup looks- I don't wear makeup often, but I do really like a natural look, not 'made-up'...
You look fabulous
All your videos are great, however this one is one of the best! Thank you
I am 58 and love your content! I was so surprised and pleased to see you use the Grown Alchemist Hydra Repair Day Cream. I have been using it for two years ever since I received it by chance in a Fab Fit Fun box. XO
I'm 67 and I just love make-up! ❤
Have to thank you for your truly waterproof mascara testing video! I just had vacation and was trying to think what to bring and try for the beach and pool and remembered you did that video. I checked it out and got the exhibitionist waterproof (two stores to find the last one) and it was great with kids splashing me and nothing looking messy. It came off with Clinique take the day off balm pretty easily with gently rubbing too. Thank you - first one that actually made my lashes look good. Others are hard to apply clumpy and just not good.
I was interested in trying your tip concerning eliminating underlining the eyes. My waterline is pinkish and not lining it looked awkward. NYX to the rescue! Their jumbo eye pencil in the color Iced Latte is the perfect flesh tone. I swipe it on my waterline and it looks great. There is the slightest satin finish to the shadow so I think it even brightens the waterline.
Thank you so much. I appreciate you so much. You are gorgeous. God bless you and your precious family
I love using eyeshadow as liner. I did it in my younger years too. I even had a friend ask me how I got my eyeliner so perfect. She was surprised when I said it was eyeshadow.
I'm 43, no wrinkles yet but I'm finding I can't use powders cuz I crease like crazy! So thank you so much!!
Thank you for the shout out! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm 41 and just limit powder to the t zone for the same reason, any where else and it creases up
I would never say you’re 39! You look gorgeous! 🥰love your videos and trying not to miss a single one! ❤
She looks fantastic, I would have guessed mid 30s, she has lovely skin.
Thank you so much for these tips! I love Covergirl Creme lipsticks, they are so underrated💖
Thank God ,been wondering when you would do a video for us older ladies ❤🙏
Fabulous video as always!!!
This is perfect timing. I’m 59 and was considering hiring a makeup artist to help me change up my makeup routine to match my age and as I further age
Have you ever worked with Palladio I'm Blushing? It it a cream blush and lipstick. I use it on dab and dash days. I can use this as a blush, throw some mascara and lip treatment on and go.
