10 BEAUTY PRODUCTS I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT AS A PRO MAKEUP ARTIST | Nikol Johnson

[@DawnCoen]

I can't live without your eye primer! No other eye primer on the market can compare! 💖

[@rebeccacorlew]

Agreed

[@neanea1173]

It's wonderful.

[@peggyfisher9743]

Ditto!

[@alikay57]

Exactly..I just started using it and I will always order it. It is a game-changer! :)

[@cheryl5768]

Same… I always make sure I have. New one on deck!!

[@karynajabrail5035]

Nikol, Your sweater is beautiful and gorgeous color on You. Makeup amazing. It always looks great, you always look beautiful but this color is WOW!!! Thank You for your time. You're the best! God bless you

[@amycorley1658]

CVS has a the "360 beauty brand" Premium cotton squares that are just like the Sheseido squares and they are reasonably prices.

[@ks7343]

Your make-up brushes are the BEST! So much better than any other I tried!

[@MiaHessMusic]

agreed, they are very good.

[@josephineshields5869]

I can not live without your Eye Primer. A Makeup life changer. The other thing is your brow mascara. The one thing I wear even if I don't put on full makeup for the day. Never leave the house without brushing my teeth and doing my brows. I have brows, but most of them are white. Your brow makeup makes them look natural.

[@trishthedishbliss60]

Not a makeup product, but I am obsessed with my Dyson hairdryer. I picked one up a few months ago because curiosity won. Totally worth every penney for me. My only regret is not buying one sooner!

[@knoelbabin4340]

Love mine also!!

[@lyrastar999]

L'Oreal eyelash primer. its my go to for my very fine, blonde lashes. it does help a lot!

[@amyhadley6021]

Yes! Because of you I use that lash primer and the Almay pads. Absolute must-haves!

[@d3sgrammy576]

I tried the Shisedo cotton pads and love them. Pricey, yes, I did find them at TJMaxx and a reduced price so I bought several! I love the L’Oréal primer for lashes. And the Almay pads work great, love them. I’m planning to try your Nikol products. I have to use up a few products first, as I have been trying different brands. It’s nice to watch your videos ( and other ladies ) who give great ideas and tips for us 60 yr old gals. I started focusing on me in the past year. Trying to be purposeful with skin care, makeup, hair and fashion. It’s working! Thanks Nikol for your videos! ❤️

[@catherine8638]

Love your eye primer & eyelighter. I was wondering what you think of iL Makiage foundation?

[@cherylschloegl8596]

I also love your eyeshadow primer. A must have! My other must haves are the Just Peachy, color corrector, your Dark Chocolate, eyeliner pencil and your cream blush. You have done so well with your product formulations. I have recently discovered the Charlotte Tilbury, Eyes to Mesmerize cream eye shadows and I love them. Your eye primer keeps them from creasing. I want to try the La Mer cream. Have really liked all of your videos so fsr this year!!

[@lisawende5161]

I fortunately found Shiseido cotton pads at TJ Maxx for $6. Can't wait to try them. I'm sure they'll be great like your other suggestions have been for me that I've tried. Thank you for your channel, Nikol, appreciate you

[@lillieberger2883]

I’ve been using the washable, reusable makeup remover pads and washcloths. They are extremely soft and I love that I can reuse them

[@PeachesSkinCare]

Nikol🧡 I love you talked about micro tears. So manny women and men do things to their faces that create micro tears in their skin and therefore huge issues. Yes! I LOVE Gua sha and it absolutely makes and creates changes. We just work the 42 muscles in our face and 43 with our neck. Natural works!!! Thank you Nikol🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa

[@connieburke3722]

I cant get the brightener makeup to come out on the brush.

[@pennythomas2016]

Thank you for doing this video. I have been going through older videos to find the cotton that you use. And thank you for everything you do. I am learning so much from you.

[@watchthis7513]

I appreciate and enjoy your videos so much. I am a young 66 year old😎. I have enjoyed makeup for as long as I can remember, and I’m a sucker for it all. I have been wondering lately about having sooo much skincare. I feel like I have so much for different things, and I’m not sure what the exact order of things should be. I really would love to simplify my skincare routine, and you have really given me even more to think about. I know some people think the La Mer is just all hype, and some claim there are drug store products that do just as well or maybe even better. What’s a girl to do?

[@laurieanne9712]

My nighttime routine: Badger Bear Organic Damascus Rose Beauty Balm. One coat on my face right after the shower to seal in moisture. The skin just absorbs it & then a second light coat around my eyes. The smell is heavenly! For my skin for winter dryness: Nourish Organic Lavender & Mint body moisturizer. Again, heavenly smell just relaxes me. Great after sun in the summer from working out in the garden just a bit too long. Redness gone in just a couple hours!

[@lynnwiedenroth3200]

I get my Sheishedo cotton pads at TJ Maxx and Marshalls. The other cotton rounds and facecloths cause microtears- use microfiber on the face.

[@lindab146]

I have and love all of the products that you mentioned from your personal brand except the mascara, time to order! I really do love and appreciate the 3 well eye shadow products, very usable without overwhelmingly me. Thank you as always for sharing.

[@lindabell8377]

I love the Sheseido cotton pads!

[@evelynrosado9711]

I use the la mer foundation and I love it.

[@conniemckinley7428]

La roche-posay tinted mineral sunscreen spf 50 face. My fave💕

[@lianefehrle9921]

I primer is one I can’t live without. You showed me this. Thanks a bunch. Now I have to get the white eyeliner.

[@edelcranwell9524]

I love the Magic Cream from Charlotte Tilbury. I also agree about the cotton pads from Shiseido. They are a guilty pleasure.

[@amnerysvaldes8737]

I’ve been using Shiseido cotton pads for years and love love!!! When I find them at TJMaxx I buy all the packs available otherwise order from Nordstrom ❤

[@susanyakus7364]

I also love your eye primer and mascara. I also use the Almay pads and your Cheeky. So far, my favorite foundation is the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua. It's sheer enough for this older skin and melts into my skin. Chantecaille Cushion Foundation is a close second, but I won't spend that much money all the time. I also love the Chantecaille mascara. Too many loves to count!

[@marysteven3004]

Nikol- Thank you again for another great video! I just wanted to say that the cotton by cle de peau is just as nice as the Shiseido Luxe cotton- I use both all the time and there is a significant difference in the softness and absorbability- no 'lint' either.

[@naplesgurl]

Best make up brushes ever! I need to reorder as I lost most of them in Hurricane Ian .

[@marymcevoy3801]

Your eye primer is a must. Can't live without it.

[@naplesgurl]

You have beautiful skin Nikol! Love your top 10 !

[@patriciaquate3210]

You give such amazing advice. I am so happy that I have found you on KZbin

[@kandiblick3822]

💖💖💖 Your Eye Bright and brushes are indispensable for me now and your "Defiance" lip color is the bomb! 👏👏👏

[@karenharriman5114]

Hi Nicol, I'm relatively new to your channel, I'm absolutely loving it! I have been doing some binge watching...😄. I know that what I'm asking you to do a video on and talk about might not be the most glamorous, but I doubt that I'm the only clueless one in the bunch. I'm 52 and have gone through cycles of makeup wearing and even went to modeling school and dabbled a little bit when I was younger. I'm in a new season of life and have more time again and have recently been diving into fashion and makeup, I was never completely out but just didn't have time or money to do much. I was wondering if you could do a video on caring for makeup brushes and cleaning, how often, what to use etc. Maybe also on makeup care and lifespan, hairbrushs etc. I'd like to purchase your brush set, but before investing I'd like to know how to care for them. I've never used cream, or liquid foundation or bb cream type products with a brush... not how I was taught and I'm not sure how to do it and how often do I clean the brush, with what etc? I'd be grateful for some direction.

[@tracyriordan7011]

HI Nikol! So excited to see what are your fav products you can't live without! ( : I love to see you use the Almay makeup wipes! ( : Your beautiful lips match your shirt perfectly today! ( : I absolutely need to get just peachy and the green anti redness stuck! ( : Those two are amazing! ( : Your skin is always gorgeous looking! So, La Mer foundation does a fantastic job! ( : Thank you sooo much for sharing all these can't live without favs!! ( :

[@kathytarver2133]

I adore everything in your suggestions! La Mer’s Cream is wonderful. I have been using this for about 4 months. I am a 68 year old who was out in the sun, and got lupus on the skin because of tanning salons. Bad! Your products are the best!! I love your mascara for my short, straight lashes‼️ Thank you, Nikol, so much!!

[@karinswartz3046]

Hi Kathy, is it waterproof?

[@kathytarver2133]

@@karinswartz3046 I can’t say it’s waterproof, because it comes off if one washes her face. It is the last step I use before applying makeup in the morning. Unless I’m using an oil at night, it’s the last step before bed, too. It does melt into my face.

[@karinswartz3046]

@@kathytarver2133 Thanks, Kathy. :)

[@karenrothschild602]

Started trying your products. My skin is very sensitive, especially around the eyes. Primer and brightener are heavenly!

[@TheEmeraldrose63]

Im so glad that i found your channel. I turn 60 in may and was really dreading that number. Now im excited again. Thank you

[@crystalresler5534]

You're stunning 😍 I have used that lash primer for years and I love it can't live without it!

[@parksbpknit]

IT brow powder combined with NYX micro brow pencil in ash brown, Australian Gold tinted sunscreen, Caliray tubing mascara. Great video!

[@sarahmariah100]

If I really have to go somewhere I like use this Dior fondation I made my husband stand there and match to me once in a store. It's a relief and a joy to have found this channel - and to quickly and easily learn again - bc I def dont have the patience or the optimism to experiment during this, the third third of my life

[@terriatwell4041]

My "can't live without" are a moisturizer with sunscreen (have used Origins Purology for years but currently trying Drmtology), Loreal Volumizer mascara and a pencil eye liner. Current eyeliner is by Revitalize-I like it because it is so soft. I have very sensitive eyes and most products irritate them which leads to an eye infection. I wanted to love the Almay make up removers but they are so scratchy and abrasive on my skin so I'm back to cotton. Will have to try the brand you recommended. Thank you for your videos.

[@heavenlyclouds1337]

what do you think of Jones Road beauty balm? is there something similar we could use? thank you

[@karinswartz3046]

I love Urban Decay eye pencil in Vice. Nars lipstick in Dolce Vita and Tolede, Sheseido eyelash curler, Mac blush brush, Josie Maran Argan oil that I apply. over my eye cream which has been a huge game changer!

[@ChristineHK]

Just peachy is great!! Love it! I would like to try your primer, too.

[@sharonromaine8764]

Another great video! Thank you so much.

[@cvonsutphen]

Products I can't live without: SA Cleanser, hydrating toner and color corrector. I'm 55 and and 2022 was the year I amped upped my skin care regime. K-beauty products have been a game changer. With thinner skin, I was noticing those pesky broken capillaries around the nose and cheeks, amen for green corrector.

[@Upsidedownworld2023]

What would be your suggestion for lip color when my lips are so thin? I am 65 and fair/light with grey hair. TIA!!

[@barbaradieckmann9020]

Organic coconut oil to remove my makeup at night. I’m also using it to swoosh my mouth and get rid of bacteria. Swoosh for 15 minutes and spit it out. Your mouth feels refreshed and my face feels like baby’s butt even with all the 78 year old wrinkles.

[@bin4518]

15 minutes?

[@barbaradieckmann9020]

@@bin4518 yes, 15 minutes of swooshing. I’m doing other things while I swoosh and before you know it the 15 minutes are up.

[@jennybrady7785]

How often do you apply your lipstick? I am bad to lick my lips and can’t seem to keep it on.

[@beauty_enthusiast]

Oh, you’re so right about using the best brushes! My favorites are Sonia G - they are Japanese made and the handles are exquisite. I don’t know what I did before I found them💕

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

You have utterly fabulous hair! I'm so envious!

[@Priasbcbeist]

Rosebud salve… oh and eborian cc cream for redness

[@bekahinrio]

One of the things I can't live without is your Just Peachy Color Corrector. I've used the Becca (now Smashbox X Becca Undereye Brightening Corrector) for years. But I decided to try your Just Peachy and now it's my favorite! It goes on easily but doesn't crease as much as the Becca product. I use the gua sha as well. I love it for my hideous undereye bags! Thank you so much!

[@karinswartz3046]

Does the gua sha help forehead wrinkles and lines around the mouth? What have you noticed and how long have you been using it?

[@MiaHessMusic]

Dremablend. Been using it for decades. Can't live without it. Your eye primer is excellent, BTW!

[@susanwilson1370]

Peach is your color!. Look beautiful!

[@patparrish9060]

Nicole, I can’t live without your brushes and your eyelid primer. Almay pads as well! Love you and your channel!

[@captainnathan3690]

I can not live without Clinique High Impact Easy liquid liner in Espresso. I’m fair skinned and old 😮 so having a product that makes it easier to get a clean line on my wrinkled skin is so helpful. I also like their All About Eyes eye cream. Going to try your mascara and maybe spring for the LeMer foundation. I’m so tired of constantly trying new foundations that just don’t work as I need. Another informative vid from Nikol the Beauty! Thanks.

[@catmom9755]

For the inflammation under your eyes, using the Ivermectin cream was a HUGE help in calming the inflammation from my Rosacea.

[@lillieberger2883]

I just started a prescription cream that contains ivermectin , metronidazole and niacinamide. I think it’s starting to work

[@kathytarver2133]

Nikol, I can’t find a color corrector for my black circles under my eyes. Peach comes close, but you’ve suggested orange. I can’t just use a concealer-any suggestions from anyone??

[@yvonnestubbs4093]

My can't do without product is the Purely Ageless Hydration Elixir by Sukin (I live in Australia). Before menopause I had oily skin but now it is super dry

[@BottleRedhead20]

I am really liking your No Redness to color correct rosacea on my cheeks. Also your eye shadow primer is a game changer as I haven’t had much luck with others. I have used Lancôme Le Crayon Khol eyeliner for decades. It doesn’t smudge on me and stays in place. I have used Urban Decay eyeshadows for decades. They are so pigmented. Also love Too Faced shadows for the same reason.

[@Ellsped10]

Many years ago when L'Oreal came out the the eyelash primer it was double sided. One side was the primer and the other side was the mascara. But, the primer had fibers and that was a game changer because it really made lashes thicker AND longer! When I would finish with the mascara I would always be amazed by how naturally long they looked! As if I had false lashes without the hassle! When you mentioned it I realized they had come back on the market again so I got one but I can see the difference now! I wish someone would tell the company to bring back the original formula. Nikol, you would love it even more than the one you have!😍😍

A product I like is Pura d'Or 20% Vitamin C syrum. I keep it in the fridge so it won't oxidize, which means I have to warm it up in the palm of my hand before putting it on my face/neck and backs of my hands. One half dropperful does it all.

I agree that the La Mer products are wonderful! I’ve been using the moisturizer for at least twenty five years and always get compliments on my skin. I use the scooper that it comes with vs a q tip. You need only a dime size and definitely follow Nikole’s advice and warm it up before pressing into your skin. I would also recommend the eye concentrate. Pricey but well worth the money.
