Makeup mistakes that age you and how to correct them | ALI ANDREEA

[@hallyclements1897]

OMGoodness! I watched this video last night. I have used black eyeliner on both my top and bottom for ages. Also black mascara. I’m blonde. Today, I used brown liner like you did in the video and brown mascara. Smidge of foundation on my cheeks (rosacea), and bronzer. What a huge huge huge difference. I actually thought I looked younger and fresher! I can’t thank you enough.

[@glamourwheatbags]

Lol... same....but I went to brown a while ago . So much better!

[@reneeperez7042]

"in what world don't you need mascara?!!" I love that ! You made me so happy watching this! For all of us women over 50 we thank you!

[@donnafromnyc]

Except if you wear contact lenses. It's an issue for us. Eventually it falls off in the eyes or burns.

[@iAmNothingness]

If i would put on mascara, my eyelashes gonna touch the sky 😂😂😂

[@1127Hope]

True but I have tried so many and they all smudge and leave awful dark circles (I'm oily too) I have not found one that doesn't even the waterproof, even sealing it in. At this point I just skip it

[@aliceandrade4364]

I agree with you, Hope. I gave up on mascara about 50 years ago as my skin was mega oily and seems like within minutes it was under my eyes. Now that I'm a zillion years old, I did try a tubing mascara, and no smudging. I rarely leave the house though so ? It came about 50 years too late for me but if I need it occasionally, I have it now.

[@carolinelala9818]

Champagne suits me (in every aspect) but I have a lot of pink in my eyelids and orange and pinks make me look like I have sore eyes or I’ve been crying, brown drains the light out of my brown eyes and I look sad and older (I’m 52 so I’d rather look younger), light greys, blues and especially greens are my colors, vanilla and champagne suit me fine.

[@Mortthemoose]

You said it!! I wish there was more diversity in these tutorials....random people, who are perhaps older, with wrinkles, no botox or lip filler etc etc. I have recently found two ladies that are much older than me, but they show their faces before putting make up on. I do suspect that at least one of them has had a brow lift though, and maybe a bit of both in the forehead. Amazing that that seems to be the norm now on make up tutorials!

I guess thats why its important to follow beauty bloggers in your age category. You are awesome, thank you for sharing. It only takes me like 5 minutes to do my make up and I look better. Less is more when you are of an older age ❤

[@BlueLatte-f3f]

The quality of make up now is practically stage make up and or drag make up. It is as shocking to look at up close because it's meant to be seen on camera. Young girls straight out the gate are using stage and drag techniques including fillers, shots and surgery on barely developed features. Imho when this phase blows over in our culture we will be left with some very interesting faces to look at as they age. Interesting times.

[@ravenrexfranco7956]

Blush is ALWAYS a good idea. It’s the quickest and easiest way to add colour and youth and glow back into the skin. Blush makes the biggest impact to the face; without it, your makeup will look incomplete, no matter how much or how little else makeup you have on. Blush should ALWAYS be included in everyone’s makeup routine each and every time they wear makeup ☺️

I am a breast cancer survivor and having gone through chemo my eyelashes are so thin as well as my eyebrows. I just feel better when I wear black.

Before I recommend this product that helped me regrow my lashes, please know that I’m not trying to sell anything or am in any way connected to the company. I’m merely sharing something that worked for me. The company is called Nulastin and they sell products to help grow eyelashes, brows and hair. Their products are only available online and are somewhat pricey so I wait until they go on sale. But, since using their products the results have totally exceeded my expectations. At first I used the serum at least once or every other day. Now I only need to apply it once a week or even longer (when I forget) and it maintains the growth.

[@hornblowingimp8653]

Hey Tracy what an inspiration you are. ❤️ Wearing eyeliner without mascara ! Well you certainly need saving too.

Mascara and blush. These two items instantly improve your appearance. Use a blush that complements your coloring. Cooler color should use a plum or berry color, warmer can use a coral or rust tone. Mature skin does best with a cream blush. I like to place a small amount of blush under my eyes, at the very top of my cheek. This gives a very natural flush, like you’ve been exercising.

[@kfl611]

As a guy, who grew up with beautiful sisters and a beautiful mom, in my opinion makeup should be applied so it doesn't look like you are wearing makeup. It should accentuate your own beauty, and yes if needed cover some minor flaws. Although I did see a great video on a make up artist who helped people who had a lot of issues - like scarring and disfiguration, and with her help, the people looked so much better with make up to hide what had happened to their faces. So make up can work miracles, but I think mostly it's a case of less is more.

[@Patti-1962]

I ended up with a black eyeliner by mistake.... so I used it. My husband looked at me and immediately said that my makeup looked a bit harsh. Of course he was kind about it (he never even notices 99% of the time.) So you are absolutely correct about using brown eyeliner and mascara!!

@@tinamarie2121 Hey! Did you ever wear auburn or burgundy mascara? This is really dating me, but I wore MaxFactor auburn when I was in high school. Then L'oreal had some, and now there may be many more. It never really gave me the natural look I was going for lol.

This was probably the most helpful video I have ever seen. It was so so amazing. Thank you Andrea for making this. I am 53 and am going to try not to contour and do the cream bronze trick. So helpful to know that every single make up tip is not for every single person. I would love to k is your tips for eye shadow as many others have commented. ♥️😘

yes! it was fine when I was 19 or 22, but at 42 things are different. Finding burgundy and bronze liners has been my lifeline. Can skip shadow if I just smudge out my liner!

[@danyellepps9072]

Same. I addicted to black liner for my lid top and water line. I’ll try a dark brown and see how that goes. 😊

if you have brown eyes u should try blue mascara!! that’s what i do and i always get so many compliments. It really makes the eyes pop. I use the l’oréal one and its amazing

I literally did every thing on the wrong side. I am 36 and started noticing everything you said. So today I did the makeup tips from the “right” and wow! I feel great and got compliments from my daughters ❤

[@edminaliutke1110]

The “baby fat” explains a lot. I am 31, and around 29 I realized that I can no longer do makeup the same way as I used to. At first it was confusing to me, I felt as though I forgot how to do my makeup during pandemic lol I can no longer stand black liner, it just doesn’t look good on me. My eyebrow game became extremely natural, although I never did them harsh and dark before either. Absolutely cannot stand any metallic lipsticks (never did, but now especially). So these notes are a must not only for women 40 and older, but for us women crossing the line of 30s. I actually really like the idea of brown mascara, never thought of it before. Definitely getting it!

[@tinamarie2121]

Brown mascara is AWESOME! If you try one that doesn't seem pigmented enough, don't give up on it, though. Some of them just aren't dark enough TBH. 😕

[@joycarey]

Thank you for doing this video, lovely one!😘😊. As a veteran makeup artist of 29 years, I have seen many older, aging women wearing & applying their makeup the same way as they did in their more youthful years. It certainly can age one's face. I have had clients, that have been open to changing and seeing what I have suggested in updating their look. I have seen not only black eyeliner being too harsh, but also too dark of a lipstick and not much blush. As we age and go through menopause we lose color in our face and look faded, washed out. Our hair loses pigment/color & texture as well. Some may dye their hair too dark as it can look too harsh. It's all about balance. Aging doesn't have to be a time of giving up and throwing in the towel, thinking you can't still look & feel beautiful. I encourage all women of any age to know they can still feel & look beautiful! I accept that I am getting older, I will be turning 50 years old soon. I wish to look & feel graceful/refined/elegant in my aging process. My biggest and loudest message to everyone is take very good care of your skin!! Your skincare is the very foundation, that helps your makeup to look its very best. I love helping all women, especially my older clients. Aging doesn't have to be depressing or sad. We have learned from our mistakes in life, matured, and most of all gained some wisdom in helping others younger than ourselves to a better place. Makeup is a work of art, a portrait, painting in detailing one's most flattering features. Have a blessed day everyone!!!🙂💗

Okay so hear me out- I usually don’t comment on these videos at all, and certainly not since I was in my mid twenties (a decade and two kids ago 🥲) but I just have to say that the way you explain, talk and engage with the audience is outstanding. It feels like you’re not in a room filled with cameras and light but right next to me, like a wise friend who knows her stuff and likes to share it. Anyway my skin tone is totally not similar to yours at all but your tips were so universal and clear that I’m giving you a follow 😊

[@taramisu9978]

Personally, I like these videos and wish more people would do them. Each creator is going to have their own take and tips, the more tips the better I say! Thank you for this video, I am getting older and am realizing that I just need to stop trying to recapture my youth and use cosmetics to enhance what I have, not cover it all up.

OMG, I agree on everything especially on the frosted/metallic lipsticks! The same applies to nail polish. I’ve been collecting nail polish for years and realized a few years ago that my metallic/glitter nail polish makes my hands look older, so now I only use creams and sheer on my hands and my metallics on my toes. Thanks for another amazing video. Much love from Texas USA! 🤠

I have just discovered your channel and it's amazing! I'm 46 and was feeling that the way I was applying makeup and what I was using was no longer working for me as it did in my thirties. My eyes look smaller and nude lips don't look as good as they used to on me. I was getting advice from very young KZbinr makeup influences. I'm glad that I have found you, someone who is older and more experienced. Now I know that I just need to change up a few things. Thank you so much. I can't wait to try some of these out this morning! And you look stunning without makeup X

[@ellie7701]

I LOVE BROWN EYELINER! Even brown mascara, but I wish they made more deep brown colors. Often times the brown shade is too light, but blue black colors don't look good on me either.

[@Hope-uq1vn]

Yes absolutely, the browns are too obviously brown so on the light side

[@ellaninkovic]

My favorite liner is in the taupe shade from Sephora's own collection, the shade is in number 15, called Flirting Game. It's the perfect taupe, not too light or too dark. I'm 51 and I've been using it for the past 3-4 years.

I’m now 44 … and. I couldn’t agree more with the” less is more” tactic … I have couple bottles of foundation and I use them only in little areas around my eyes and my eyelids and a couple of the little areas throughout my face… I never could understand the “full-faced” foundation trends that women have turned towards in the past decades.. whenever I’ve attempted to try that look in the past, it always would age me … I could not even imagine wearing a thick layer like that every day… I love this video I was totally intrigued by every word thank you so much…

[@msredcurtains]

Why do women care about looking young so much? Looking your age is so class. And not catering to the leery eye of men. We are more than that women.

[@traceylou13]

You can never go wrong with some suncreen as your base and a beautiful mineral powder by bareMinerals. It’s about $50 in Australia but I’m not quite sure how much is overseas in Sephora. It comes in original which is a nice dewy finish or it comes in a matte version. I feel that mature women look way better with a dewy finish but it’s up to you. I feel it’s very important to have that base layer underneath and it will last you all day all night so make sure that your sunscreen is not mattifying and at night otherwise use a dewy moisturizer. It works better than primer and the second that you put your base on whether that be sunscreen or moisturizer get ready to buff the foundation on and it will use the moisture in your face product to make it stick to all skin types for hours. Following this method will have the foundation last you like 6-12 months and have you glowing because you can never overdo it - it’s foolproof

Hi Ali, I am 74 and I have been using less makeup because it just looks more natural. Sometimes some tinted moisturizer. Concealer on my hyperpigmentation is a must. Not using as much eyeshadow, but some blush on my eyelid and my cheeks. I don't use eyeliner because my eyes are small and you can't see it anyway. However I am once in awhile use black mascara, but not much. Lip balm because my lips are dry and it gives me a little tent of color. Thank you for this video. At our age, less is more!
