10 Facts That Cheapen Your Beauty

[@ms.frederique]

Thank you so much for watching lovely, here another interesting video: Designer items that cheapen your look: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHmwknlnhJqKnNU

[@joannemadden7449]

I must agree with you Frederique, less is so much more as we come to a certain age. Skin care becomes the most important part of a women's routine, it's the canvas that is the very foundation and without care you are fighting an up hill battle.. I feel skin care along with a few select products goes so much further than caking your face with the latest products hoping for a miracle. I thank you for such a well thought-out video, you never disappoint. Bless you❤️

I loved this it’s funny you mentioned the fake eye lashes I was wearing them a lot about a year ago and my husband looks at me and said “no man ever said that girl would be pretty if only her lashes were longer”. Lol I got the hint and started taking care of the lashes I have 😊🥂

[@TheOpy83]

Your husband is right. :)I see so many young and already pretty women wearing the "fan" eyelashes, and they look sooo fake and unnatural. Plus, they are high maintenance and I think it's difficult to wash your face when you wear fake lashes.

[@bonniebenz8792]

Lol. Young women and the fake eyebrows and eyelashes look ridiculous. Never met a guy who likes the look. I say lightly enhance your natural look, don’t destroy it !

[@deborahcurtis1385]

@@TheOpy83 Yes but when you're young it's the time to experiment. It's a bit of fun, everyone knows they're fake. What's not fun is when middle aged women do the full-on fake eyelash thing and it's the heavy Barbie ones. oh dear, it only draws attention to the aged parts of the face. Just avoid in later life.

In my culture natural long lashes are admired, even in poems. Eastern cultures have been obsessed with beauty of eyes, eyebrows and eyelashes(even eyelids). You will hear them a lot in love songs(especially old ones). But exaggerated eyelash extensions are really new and I don't think men like them if they look fake. Makeup, fake lashes etc should enchance the beauty already you have, not hiding it.

Don't give up on your brows if you think they are never growing back, ladies! I am one of those Gen x-ers who overplucked my eyebrows for two decades. When thicker brows became more popular, I saw that it really did look better, and I have been growing mine back for close to four years now. Maybe half of them came back in the first two years, and that was fine (I have some thick, wiry curly brow hairs). I was able to make them look decent with makeup even though there were bald patches. Recently, my brows have had a surprise growth spurt. The hairs are now filling in evenly! I doubt I will need to use pencil after another month or two. All I did was stop plucking them. Don't give up!

[@ThundermansThunder]

And the men say "AMEN!" Thin eyebrows are fine, if that is all you have, but thicker eyebrows do look better. I think just keep them tidy without trying to make them razor-edged perfect, as some women do, or color in too much, because that looks terrible, too. So happy for you that you brows are filling in, because that doesn't always happen after overplucking, so that adds hope for others! I know a couple of women that over plucked as teens many years ago who are now in their 50's that have almost no brow at all to this day, so you are blessed, indeed!

[@SandraHof]

She mentioned she has Hashimoto’s Disease. I do also. When thyroid numbers are bad, the outer third of the eyebrows will thin. So it is not necessarily age related or from over plucking, but because of the disease. My eyebrows vary in thickeness depending on how well my thyroid numbers are doing.

[@ThundermansThunder]

@@SandraHof This happened to my mother, too, due to thyroid imbalance caused by a benign growth that was removed along with most of her thyroid. Medication kept them going for decades until she had to go through chemo for breast cancer when they got really thin again.

[@Lilah_Ninigigun_Belet-Eanna]

My tips: 1) Foundation: Instead of BB cream, I put invisible sunscreen as a base then the tinted version, wait 10 mins to absorb before putting on a light dusting of finely milled talc-free high quality powder foundation (Inika/Tarte Amazonian/Youngblood etc). I then pat on a layer of Pyungkang Yul toner which seals it all gives me an all-day stay-put dewy/gloss/non-greasy look instead of any highlighter. Highlighter looks very unclassy/cakey IMHO. Use a toner instead for subtle shine on high points of face. 2) Fillers/Treatments: Only do 0.5ml of SOFT filler (Belotero/Restalyne/Teosyal etc-AVOID JUVERDERM), don't touch the vermillion border ever (avoids the Shelf/Duck lip migration) concentrate on the CENTRE portion of the lips only, never the outer. You will end up with gorgeous natural-looking Cherry lips over time. Never put in 1ml in one session, build up 0.5ml SLOWLY, OVER TIME. Go with an injector who has 15 years + experience at least and looks natural herself, not plastic. Younger injectors tend to prefer an overfilled look. * DEFINITELY do PDO threads (matrix mono + cog/barbed) 1-2 times a year to build up collagen & thicken skin. Worked AMAZINGLY on me. * Use Sculptra/Radiesse for volume loss/marionette/nasiolabial folds etc. * Lasers like Q-switch are no downtime, almost painfree and get rid of dark age spots. It 100% got rid of all my pigmentation permanently. 3) Perfume: I buy high quality Niche perfumes from specialist perfume stores. I cover my whole body straight out the shower when still wet with Egyptian Magic balm then layer different perfumes at different points of my body (weak parfums on top half of body (don't rub perfume!!!) heavier perfumes near my ankles/feet only. Wear perfumes according to seasons i.e Citrus/Fruity scents in Summer, Florals/Green Fougeres in Spring, Woody/Orientals/Concentrates in Autumn/Winter etc. 4) Eyebrows: I dermaroll my eyebrows 1-2 times a month and apply Argan oil to my brows/lashes to a clean washed face before bed every night. BEST brow product ever invented is Shu Uemera Hard Formula eye pencil for incredibly natural/non-harsh eyebrows. One pencil lasts for YEARS also. 10/10 product. Eyelashes: 100% agree re: falsies- just HORRIBLE! I use Covergirl Exhibitionist Waterproof mascara. I've tried a million brands, drugstore & high-end and its my Holy Grail. Makes my lashes SUPER LONG AND THICK and glossy, no smudges etc. Buuuut HAVE to use a new/clean spoolie, not the built-in one! Magnetic lashes can be "okay" but hard to apply/annoying. * If you want longer lashes, drink grass-fed bone broth with gelatine regularly (great for replacing volume loss in face too!) and use cold-pressed Castor oil/Argan oil before bed every night. Lips: I also wear really classic True Red lipstick daily only (i.e. Sephora 01, Mac Ruby Woo, Sigma Venom, Stila Beso, Nars Jungle Red, Jane Iredale Passion, Milani Satin, Fenty Stunna, Lisa Eldridge Velvet Ribbon. I pat it down and smudge it with my finger also so it looks like my natural lips with no hard borders. Red lipstick flatters everyone and can be worn day/night for any occasion.

Why avoid juvederm?

[@Lilah_Ninigigun_Belet-Eanna]

@@ruthrehak4995 Unlike the soft fillers I mentioned Juvederm is a hard/contouring filler and draws in a lot of water. As Dr Gavin Chan from Melbourne/Dr Ben Talei point out, filler can stay for years not months and build up/migrate and Juvederm is the filler responsible for the majority of overfilled/unhappy "duck lip" outcomes. People get filler blindness as it achieves that "instant full lip look" but their perception of how really it looks/how it appears to other people gets warped over time and more unnatural-looking/alien. Soft filler is less likely/takes much longer to get that full look and just looks very naturalistic in comparison.

Love all the tips! One I have been using for a few years now (I’m 57) is to stop the eyeliner a few lashes before the outside corner. Our eyes tend to droop as we age, the liner, if taken to the edge, will emphasize this. Also, no liner or mascara on the bottom lashes for me - makes me look tired.

[@acgallan]

Great point about nails. Short, clean nails are the best. Long nails often look cheap, not to mention all the bacteria and germs they attract. 🤢

[@valdez3245]

I agree, Frederique. Too much make up looks cheap and is unattractive. I also wear very little, very minimal makeup. My makeup routine is done in about 5 minutes. I’m blessed with long dark eye lashes, so I rarely wear mascara ( it is so hard to take off! )and I just curl my eyelashes. The best thing to do is take care of our skin by taking care of our health, inside and out! And be a positive person! Green video! And, just my opinion, but I don’t think you needed the lip filler. Just my opinion, you already have very beautiful lips without the fillers. Be blessed! Hope you reach 200,000 very soon!! You work so hard for it and I’ve been with you from the beginning!

[@carolk2299]

I am almost 67 and I have started to only apply eyeshadow and mascara on my eyes (nothing on the lower lids). I think that this looks much classier. I never use eyeliner. I find that this technique brings out the sparkle in my eyes. I rarely use foundation (only for going "out," and use only some cream blush for my daily touch of colour. I have noticed that very rich women (especially those who were born into money) do not make up their faces heavily, and use very minimal makeup, especially on the eyes. Good skin is everything! Remember those eyebrows, and be sure to fill them in before leaving the house. My mother, who was always very elegant, had thick, beautiful eyebrows all her life, regardless of what was in style, and always touched them up before going out. By the way, I have been using moisturizer with SPF since my 20's, long before it was fashionable. That is my base, not foundation.

[@kymberleychristiansenrauber]

Top advice, Frédérique. I came of make up age in the 80s so am no stranger to rainbow eyeshadow and turquoise mascara (YSL made a beautiful one) but I cannot understand why young women have adopted the “drag queen” look. In the UK it’s still super popular. As you say, not flattering and not alluring. I recently saw ‘Working Girl’ with Joan Cusack and thought eek! that was my 80s look but I was a teenager.

[@deborahcurtis1385]

...but when you're in the flush of youth you CAN get away with it! It's the time of experimentation! When you're young you're trying to differentiate yourself from your elders, so naturally you dig into whatever no longer works for them, and rock it. It's the same with flaunting your body; it's in peak condition at that age so naturally young people want to peacock it. I think this is a natural progression, and while there can be too much kitsch, there also can be too much good taste. Fashion should't be taken too seriously, or else we are all one foot in the grave. As we get older we understand the rules, how they apply to us and when we can break the rules.

Many times hair loss of any kind is systemic and can't be helped when using topical serums, lotions etc. You can still achieve a polished high end look if you get the right ones.

I also mix my foundation with moisturiser so it goes on evenly and lightly and you can see the natural skin glow coming through. You can always touch up a few dark areas with corrector and a brush. Exfoliation is the trick as you age, if not done regularly the dead skin piles up and thickens wrinkles and you look tired and haggard. I also have used titanium dioxide sunscreen which has adds a glow to your look. Also never neglect the neck and décolletage, spread some foundation mixed with sunscreen. The. neck is one area that shows age and women neglect it dreadfully.

How interesting. I remember makeup in the 1980s as very colorful and the 1990s as neutral. We do live in different countries and there were several exceptions. Subcultures are present in every generation. I was drawn to the very neutral and minimalistic looks of the 1990s for the most part. My mom wore more neutral/natural and minimalistic makeup and I thought she looked amazing. I’ve never done anything out there with it so I’ve been able to stay in my wheelhouse with some minor adjustments. I only wore false eyelashes and contour for stage shows, be it dance or chorus, and Halloween costumes. A lot of makeup trends for the last several years have been pulled from the stage. It’s meant to look good and display features from quite a distance. Up close…. different story. A lot of makeup in the 1980s in America was pulled from the stage as well. I’ve never had any work done. Never say never but starting too young is not wise. Many young, beautiful women need to watch videos from plastic surgeons that show the signs of fillers - plastic surgery, which keeps increasing and becoming more obvious as you age. I’m 47 and just starting to get some wrinkles that make me pause. Not my first wrinkles but wrinkles that slightly bother me. I doubt I’ll do anything about it but if I did it would be the bare minimum.

[@yvellebradley2502]

Does it leak into your eyes? Make vision blurry?

[@dianamary6170]

Use very very little and it won’t.

[@deborahcurtis1385]

@@dianamary6170 apply with a cotton bud like mascara?

[@dianamary6170]

@@deborahcurtis1385 a cotton bud absorbs a lot of oil. You don't want oil in your eyes. use less than a drop. just smear a tiny bit on our finger and smooth it on the ends of your lashes.

I use what is left over after applying sunscreen to my face and chest in the morning on my hands and have started to put sunscreen on my forearms.

I do the "spray & walk." Spray the perfume in front of me, and walk through it.

I would agree with the perfume! There is a lady in my class that was dressed well and very chic and updated but her perfume was a heavy musk scent and it dated her and smelled bad. Thank you for the tip about perfume- I didn't know😔 being new to exploring and wearing more . I will apply to just behind ears now and maybe were my chest doesn't see light

[@nusaibahibraheem8183]

I don't really like strong smelling perfumes either but perfume is a very personal choice, what may smell bad to you may smell good to others. I personally don't like most perfumes, I have a very small selection of perfumes I like, but at the end of the day, you wear what smells good to you, not what others will like to smell on you.

I try to use creamy eyeshadows as an older woman and get Vitamin C by eating oranges.

[@deborahcurtis1385]

Yes avoid harsh white pearlised eyeshadows and don't wear white nail polish they draw attention to imperfections.

An idea stolen from the ladies in the 1800's, put your perfume on a hankie or scarf. That way it does not come in contact with your skin but can still be smelled.

[@Kay-lk2wy]

Thank you. This is such a helpful tip, considering I have really sensitive skin.

[@hiannahgus574]

Perfume also lasts longer on clothing. It can, however, stain clothing, especially silk scarves.

[@KatarinaP81]

There is a vegan brand of minimal makeup, but they only deliver to US and Canada. I found alternatives here in Europe, DM more precisely, foundation and concealer 2 in 1, eyebrow pencil, mascara, highlighter and blush/lip tint. I just ad golden or bronzy eye pencil on the upper line and white in the water line.

[@smudgechunk]

The thing with perfume is that scent that you despise, people feel that way about the one you love 😊 Whether it is cheap or expensive. No one else should have to smell you unless you are intimate with them.

[@faceyogamaster]

Loved this, I hardly wear make-up. 🥰💕

Salut Frédérique, totalement d'accord avec toi et surtout le n4 les faux cils 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣🤣 perso je trouve ça hyper vulgaire et les mains négligées.... quand au parfum en faisant ses bagages j'adore et je le fais toujours 😉👍 Super vidéo comme d'habitude, des bises 😘❤

[@sherihardcastle2582]

For naturally pretty women (like Frederique) minimal makeup is fine. For gals like me, I need multiple products to hide, enhance, and contour!!!❤

[@josmith2002]

I love your blue/green shade of eye crayon. I find jojoba oil is very gentle to remove stubborn waterproof mascara. ❤ all your advice and this is a GR8 video. You are so kind to share. Thankyou.

I love doing my own nails!! It took a while, but I finally have a routine that lasts about 7 days. Start by cleaning and shaping nails, scrub with dish soap (dawn removes oils beautifully) I use the Orly rubberized base coat, then 2 coats of my nail color, then top with Seche Vite quick dry top coat. Of course I have a detail brush to clean up around the nail between coats and I only use 100% acetone.

[@teruldacz]

I'm about to turn 20 and don't understand the girls covered in makeup either. 99% of time I wear bit of mascara, clear brown gel and blush. If I'm feeling very extra I do a smudged brown or emerald green liner (it brings out my eye color) and highlight my inner corners just a touch. I'm just not willing to spend hours to cover my face up every day.

[@anotherblondie]

Natural makeup doesn’t look good on everyone. I have to use foundation, blush, contour. For the eyes eyeliner, little bit of eyeshadow, brown under eye pencil, mascara. Lip pencil and lipstick. Otherwise it looks unfinished and not good in my opinion. For all that I only need 20 min.

[@lisawyckoff7070]

What color eyes do you have? I was looking for colored eyeliner, have blue eyes

Don’t ruin your face with tons of makeup at 20🥰, use hydrating skincare creams for young skin, I’m in my 40-ies and everyone gives me 10-15 years less (without Botox!) because I took care of my skin since university.

[@deborahcurtis1385]

@@dr.perfectsmile4175 Actually makeup can be an effective sun barrier, but you also need a broad spectrum sunscreen. I don't think makeup is a negative on your skin especially during the day. Staying out of the sun is key.

[@forevergrateful2341]

I know less is more but i just love eyeliner too much so i wear it daily, but try to do it really thin

[@deborahcurtis1385]

smudged eyeliner is more flattering than just a harsh line, the smoky eye look is even better. Look at Carine Roitfeld former editor of French Vogue. She also keeps supple and flexible with adult ballet lessons.

[@WillSing4TP]

So, use white eyeliner on the lower watermark to make the eyes look bigger? I must try this. As I've gotten older, my eyes have somehow gotten smaller. 🤨 What about mascara on the lower lashes? I've always put mascara on both my upper & lower lashes. 🤔 I lucked out. I've always had flawless skin. I never wore foundation, never saw a need. You know, except onstage.😁 But as I went through menopause, I started getting pimples. So, if I'm going out, I'll either use my concealer or use a sheer foundation to cover my blechy spots.

What to do about alligatored skin? I’m 67. Is that just more collagen needed?

I learned so much and I didn’t think I would! I subscribed! I would also recommend although it is not makeup - teeth whitening strips! It makes such a difference to have nice white teeth. If you like your teeth you won’t be afraid to smile and happy people are beautiful people!

[@LTNZ1]

I spray perfume on my brush and then brush my hair away from scalp of course. It won’t damage your hair, will last long and you won’t spray all those chemicals on your skin.
