I love that the 'don't' side isn't a ridiculous exaggeration like we usually see in similar video's, where the creators make the 'don't' side just look absolutely hideous on purpose. Whilst in this video both sides look realistic and good, even though the 'do' side looks more flattering. This truly helped to see the realistic difference between both sides!

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Omg thank you for noticing that! When we were filming this video my husband had pointed out that these weren’t huge differences and I had to remind him that that’s really the point, they are subtle but definitely worth noting! Thank you so much for watching this video and so happy you found this helpful!!

[@Vcaser]

YES! This! Both look good, but one looks better

[@montieverett4983]

I’m a “mature” age and more makeup under eyes shows my wrinkles. Less is def more as we age. I’m new here and I’m loving your video!

Wow, the blush placement is the one that shows the best. ❤ so much flattering ❤

[@Jessicaruger]

As a professional makeup artist, I don’t really get impressed by other makeup artists doing everyday makeup. But your techniques and the way you teach is on point! Your voice is also very soothing! 😊

Commenting 5 months laterrrr….🤭…I am a new follower, new to the all over makeup looks, and at 46, have absolutely fallen in love with makeup….where have I been you ask, well raising 3 beautiful daughters and not taking time for myself (that’s a whole other story). But I am sooooo grateful for your videos. I absolutely love your technique, and the way you explain the whys behind those techniques. After watching you beat your beautiful cheeks with allllll the blushes, I am now the owner of 9 of the ones you mentioned 🤣🤣🤣….I thought I couldn’t wear blush because I have rosacea and hated that I was always soooo red. But you, my darling have showed me different. So thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Forever grateful for your knowledge and skills!!! ❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@Ms.CindyLee]

I think the right side..well your left looks more youthful as youths have fuller cheeks. Though it definitely makes the eye come down vs the uplifted way. Then age and face structure come into play.

[@beautysGLANCE]

I love that the “don’t“ side looks great and the “do” side looks even better. You emphasised how the techniques result in different appearances but do not mean being bad.

[@dianemorgan2284]

Used a brush to apply my foundation for the first time. Game changer! You just taught this 71 yr old a new trick. Thank you oh so very much! 💖

[@dawnjohnson8739]

Same here. Tried it and was amazed at the difference.

[@julymorbid]

I'm 37 years old, when I was in my 20s I would wear makeup so confidently and feel good about myself. Now that I'm in my late 30s I feel like a full face of makeup makes me look older, it's definitely my fault for not trying new techniques with my makeup. Thank you for these tips! I'm definitely trying the contour and blush hacks. I hope you make a video about eyes next.

[@gusmonster59]

I'm 63. I've never been one for much make-up. Now I'm back to almost no make-up. Mascara and a little cream blush and I'm done. I don't buy into the forever young culture of today, so perhaps that's why I am comfortable doing that today. Less is often no only more, but better for your skin.

[@terfalicious]

@@corinnecostello8915 Me too - super fine lines appearing that are *enhanced* by foundation! I've started using less in those areas, but still need some coverage, and of course they discontinued/reformulated the ONE foundation that gave me both coverage and blur... sigh. Looking for a replacement has been both expensive and less than satisfying!

[@rlm9898]

@@terfalicious May I ask...which foundation was your favorite that you're trying to replace? I'm always searching for and testing foundations for my mature skin, so thank you so much.

[@terfalicious]

@@rlm9898 It was L'Oreal Visible Lift Blur, now discontinued. Amazing: lightweight, non-sticky, lasted well, DID blur and DID NOT crease. And super affordable! FYI I have dry/normal skin. and very sensitive to ingredients. I did find some remainders on Amazon, but they were badly oxidized. I wish I could find something close to as good - I've literally wasted hundreds of dollars on throw-away products both drug store and designer/posh. Still looking! Good luck, and drop a dime if you find something!

[@sarahwhite7656]

I’ve found Chanel’s newer foundation les beiges water fresh foundation to be amazing. It’s basically beads of foundation in a skin care serum. It’s not great at hiding fine lines but it doesn’t enhance them or settle into the creases either. It’s by far the best I’ve found and I’ve been looking for a while also. It’s such an expensive search ☹️

[@Memphischic35]

OMG Nikki, Your tips for the Most Flattering placement of Blush was a Game changer for my 56 year old Face❤

[@kzvegansuperstar]

Nikki, would you do a video on makeup minimalism? I’m 28, I love my looks and I don’t wear makeup; sometimes I feel like I’d like to get into it but the sheer amount of brushes and tools feels overwhelming, especially to clean (and the thought of a dirty brush or sponge makes me recoil!). For those of us who are newbies and interested in dabbling in makeup, would you do a video on the absolute minimum bare essentials to start off with? And include a version of it for those of us who don’t want to wear foundation? I know that’s a lot 🙈

[@brittanyh6911]

We NEED an updated brow routine! They look perfect. You teach me SO much. You can really notice the difference between sides, even on camera. You are so talented!

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

I know!! I was thinking the same thing! I’ll try to film one soon!

[@sacstar5264]

I love that you just cut right to the chase, no nonsense...no lengthy “subscribe and click the bell guilt”....or listening to horrendous elevator music with your graphic that was modeled after something my little cousin created on his keyboard in his closet, or some laborious intro about why you made this video and why we are obviously and clearly here!

[@Atypical60]

Im 67 -old AF in the beauty world. And I am so happy that you validated the way I have always applied blush! Lol. I do agree with you on the -foundation-with-the-fingers approach. Its somewhat cringey because of the wasted product on the hands. What I do is wake up earlier so that my makeup application for the day is a relaxing routine that coincides with my morning coffee. I blend in with a brush or other tool such as a blender. Inasmuch as setting powder, the only place I apply is under my eyes so my mascara doesn’t smear. I apply super lightly with a fan brush. So happy I found you! I just subscribed!❤

[@cforester]

Thank you Nikki for this how to video. At 65 and new to the NEW way of doing makeup, especially for a mature face, this made so much sense! I moving directly to Part #2. I wish I had found you 8 months ago when I started my mature UPDATED look.

[@daniellebelke3779]

What a difference you can see in your cheekbones in the application of the contour and blush based on changing the placement. In college, instead of going out some nights, I’d sit with my Kevin Aucoin, “Making Faces” book and do my make up. The man was brilliant and pure magic when it came to make up and watching your videos takes me back to that. Thank you!!!!

[@susanfusuma6472]

Aloha from Honolulu, Nikki! I'm new to your channel and discovered you on a recent Risa Does Makeup video mention. I am 70 years old, love to look and feel my best, and would love see a video on how to make one look younger through the application of makeup, and of course more videos like this is so very helpful as well! You are such a good trainer on makeup application and product information, and I thank you so very much, Nikki!

[@debzfeath6007]

That all made perfect sense to me after struggling for so long .... I feel I'm now at 57 finally getting a handle on how to apply make-up correctly ... Thanx to you Nikki you're a genius ...

[@Thefun-cousins523]

I love watching your videos. I am in a more mature stage at 56 and try the looks that make my face look lifted. Love watching you!

[@estercypriano7820]

thank you so much for not saying: this is wrong. do this instead. im so tired of youtubers and intagramers saying the way I do is wrong, when is all a trend etc. the way you show of how we can improve our makeup game to be the best version of ourselves is AMAZING and I really appreciate it. I think I say this for most of us, thank you so much for how you teach us different techniques to different situations and just be our bests.

[@givemesunscreen]

Nikki, I def commented this in another video but - You are the best teacher! Even though there are countless of videos from makeup artists telling you the do’s and dont’s using the same examples you’ve shown, you explain the why’s and why not’s in a way that makes so much sense and in greater detail! Thankful for you!! 💕

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Ahhh thank you so much rachelle!!! I really appreciate that compliment!! And thank you for the support on my channel. I’m so happy you found this video helpful!

[@sunshinerainbow2818]

Thank you so much Nikki! I'm 50 and have never really been shown the proper way to wear makeup. Basically I've been winging it since I was a teen. I never really cared for myself in makeup but wore it none the less for work. No that I'm retired, I hardly ever wear it. But when I do, I hated ow it looked on me, especially now that I have more wrinkles and dry skin. Everything in your video that was the incorrect way of doing things is exactly what I've been doing! Your tips are so wonderful, I'm actually looking forward to trying them!! I want to thank you so much for you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with those of us on youtube. I love your videos!!!

[@suecone2198]

As I have aged I do find that application makes a huge difference. I was thrilled to see I was doing my bronzer and blush the way you showed. 😊

[@reneemarie423]

I have hooded eyelids, and I love that you give realistic tips on doing makeup!

[@Iamyl4]

I actually really like tinted moisturizers, and tinted sunscreens done with my hands better and I am a brush only kind of girl usually except for that. I do my makeup at home before work and just wash my hands and I like to wash my hands anyways before I ever apply any makeup since I wash after primer too. With the mess situation out of it, some products are just better absorbed in with your fingers.

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Tinted moisturizers and tinted sunscreens give a much different finish and coverage than foundations. This is specific to foundations only.

[@Iamyl4]

@@Makeupbynikkilarose good point. Yeah skincare foundations absorb better but I always prefer my brush over anything else tho

[@heatherrandolph4046]

I agree, your voice is so soothing and easy to listen to. You also explain everything to a point where everyone will understand. Understanding it yourself is one thing. Making it simple enough for laypeople to understand and be able to mimic is a true skill!

Nikki Daahling! Another great video, yet again. A couple of things I took away. I always apply my tinted moisturizer with my fingers, but now, after seeing the difference when applying it with the brush I will definitely try it. I am 63 and want to look youthful and effortless. I will also adjust the way I apply my concealer. Thank you to you and your hubby! Great team effort.💋

[@kirstenglae]

I always use my hands to put my foundation on, it never looks as good any other application (something about the warmth of my fingers). I’ve tried all the fancy brushes and sponges, it doesn’t look as good on my skin. I use baby wipes (we have them in every bathroom) to clean my hands, because I put a lot of different makeup all over my hands when I do my makeup. Needless to say, I’m not a makeup artist and only do my own face each day.

[@BT2XX]

Thank you so much. I have been in a make up funk, very hit and miss on why the good days are good and unable to be consistent and happy. This is it! The placement of contour and blush was it! ❤

[@darling1045]

I think the contour placement on the "do' side looks softer and gives you more rounded features, and on the "don't" side it makes your cheekbones look higher and more pronounced

What I really love is how natural you are. I've been looking for a 'non-touched with fillers and Botox' make up artist for a very long time. I really feel related to you, got my subscription 😉

Going straight to the point, describing the specifics and demonstrating the why’s, is truly a game changer. Thank you for showing us how it could be done in such a simple way. 🌺🙏🏽

[@loati94]

These are all fantastic tips! 1- Every time I've tried applying my foundation with my fingers I looked horrible, my skin texture doesn't like me applying it with my fingers 2- I've never done the triangle concealer thing everyone was doing a bunch of years ago, but I did swipe a line across my dark circles. Then I learned about doing a couple of dots in the inner part of the eye and a little dot in the outer part and blend the outer dot outwards and up. It opens up my eyes and lifts my face in a great way. It also cleans up eyeshadow so I no longer need to use tape to create the shape that doesn't down my eyes, since I have hooded slightly downturned eyes, blending eyeshadow can make my eyes sad if I don't clean up the edges. 3- I used to pack my face and under eyes with powder, even using a beauty blender or one of those dense puffs. It wasn't baking, but almost. Then I looked extremely dry even though I am oily. I now use a small fluffy brush and slightly apply some powder,tapping slightly, very little too. It sets without drying. I need to buy a fluffy puff like the one you show in the video and try that. 4-5 I gotta say I've always done my bronzer and blush the "right" way because it suited my bone structure better. Not up to my temples because I have a small space there, but up to the highest part of my cheekbone. If I apply my blush on the apple of my cheeks I look sad and like my face is flacid lol.

[@helengill5988]

I like how you truly tried to apply the make up in the best way possible on both sides. You were calm and explained everything thoroughly and really explained why one technique/application method was better. I am excited to try something new.

The BK 101 is my FAVORITE foundation brush! Also in the first five minutes of this video, I applaud you. The BK brush side looks AMAZING, like you are glowing from some deep healthy place. The only foundations I sometimes use my fingers for are the Mac Face + Body, the Dior Face + Body, and the Westman Atelier Vital Skin foundation drops. Though I will often go over my face, pouncing it with the 101.

Thank you!! I'm 30 years old and have been wearing makeup for a very long time, but can still use all the help I can get. Aside from the bronzer, these are pretty much all the products I use daily, so I took notes 🙌🏼
