Yes , I agree . A nice lipcolour can be great on mature women

[@midlifemom5829]

Im 52, and have never bought matte lipstick because it draws attn to my smile lines. I dont want to bother adding gloss. I would much rather buy shine cream and reapply as needed.

Do you still use lip liner?

[@lynntaylor2537]

Your so beautiful. I decided to stop wearing makeup. After long research and trial and errors I discovered high quality derma pen and started doing sessions at home. that little device changed my skin in a way that nothing else did. My fine lines have disappeared completely, and my nasolabial folds are way less prominent/nonexist. People often underestimate the power of wounding and the revolutionary effects it can have on the skin.

[@KaraLey98]

That is so important about the clear voice and speech. Some of these other people really needed to have taken public speaking before they even ever attempted to start talking on their KZbin channels. Some mumble, run their words together, and look down while doing so so you cannot even read their lips. And then on top of that they may not even enable captions which makes it hopeless!!😃🤹‍♀️

Just found your channel and subscribed IMMEDIATELY! 54 years old here, gave up on wearing makeup over a decade ago, because I just hated how nothing looked good when I was done. I'm just now understanding that the only makeup schooling I've ever had was from 17 Magazine back in the day. Lordy... Your work hits every note of what we need. Simplicity, ease, fast and perfect. So yeah... you're my makeup mom now. Love you!!!❤️

[@isabellrc]

I was once an Esthetician….. I could create a full makeup style, and obviously 50 stopped that fun. And, now facing 60, yet able to keep some youth to my face only🤦🏻‍♀️, I am struggling with finding&wearing the proper makeup. All areas’ of my face. I had to 🛑 tanning, and due to a laser treatment, my skin became too sensitive to handle most products. I am now super pale, therefore, finding the proper shades to cover underneath & on eyelids is a constant battle. Help

[@irshgrl500]

​@@isabellrc why would age 50 stop that. That makes no sense to me. 😢

[@danae1326]

Thank you for the part about still wearing eye liner under your eye! So many over 50 make up tutorials tell us not line our lower lid/lashes because it ages you and closes the eye, but I think not lining it makes me look washed out and makes my eyes look small. Lining underneath gives your eyes emphasis and makes them look bigger and more youthful.

[@LisaMonique]

I agree! I’m sure it depends on features, skin tone, lash color etc…but I need the entire eye defined!

[@saphiael-mansub2206]

I think it's individual I always look much better and youthful if I don't put eyeliner under my eyes. Then I see someone my age who looks good so I try again and it doesn't suit me

[@LisaMonique]

@@saphiael-mansub2206 I totally agree! It depends on your skin tone, you eyes, your lashes and brows....it can be so different person to person 💕

[@chikaka2012]

Although I’m not a daily makeup user, I have found that using concealer one or two shades lighter than my foundation & blending it around the eyes opens them up, especially when applied between the the eyes, around the outer edges, and on the brow ridges. I prefer that to eyeliner, which also seems to have fallen out of fashion since the early 2000s for the most part.

[@runs2much]

I worked with Film makeup artists for 40 years. They use a moist angle brush with eye shadow. Softer finish especially for lighter hair and skin.

[@suziwainwright848]

I like that you include inexpensive products too for those of us who can’t afford high end products. Thx so much!

I'm one of the women you talk about at the beginning of this video: I don't wear any makeup because I don't have confidence in my ability to apply it and I fear overdoing things, ending up looking like a mature woman trying to be 18 again! Appreciate the straightforward advice. The photos of your friends/clients were helpful. I'm actually going to go out to buy a few products and give them a try because of this video...😬

[@LisaMonique]

Wonderful! Have fun experimenting!

[@euphemiaknw7696]

I'm in my mid-thirties, and the advice about evening out of the skin color around/under/on the nose is spot on. I realize nowadays it's generally the only makeup I'll apply (along with under my eyes and my eyelids). Quite an effective short step, that makes a remarkable enhancement (for me at least)

[@nancyofallonvo]

I just discovered this channel. I stopped watching the "over 50" makeup tutorials a while ago because the routines and application methods were crazy and time-consuming.

[@michelebuell8439]

Thank you so much for making a video like this. I couldn't agree with you more. I see so many women over 50, they're just beautiful but they're not quite correcting the right parts of their makeup. Over 50 skin is usually discolored and I think foundation really goes a long way, but a lot of women over 50 just aren't putting it on. It really makes a difference while letting their natural beauty shine through

[@nancywebb1845]

Just found this video in my feed and glad I watched it. Like other commenters, some videos for the over 50 crowd just take too much time, too much professional know how and cost. I've struggled with concealers and how to even out my skin tone at 70. I've made some progress through trial and error but you're suggestions really helped. Straight forward, so background music and easy enough to do on a daily basis if you wanted.

25 year old here. The trend report you read is correct🤣 its the year of blush and crazy blush colors and using lots of blush everywhere! I love it. I always loved blush. My mom got me started on her OG cover girl mauve blush when I was a young teen and I always adored the way it brought life and youth into the face. Awesome info though. Makes me wanna help my mom update her makeup skill and show her a few nice, simple products. She always looks nice when she does her makeup but I know she's feeling "old" and out of touch and I feel like showing her some really nice non-drugstore makeup and how to use them would boost her self image a bit

This was brilliant. Everything was just right. I love wearing makeup and not afraid to wear it and I’ve got my technique down, but at 71 I see some tweaks I needed. I so agree with what you said about underlining the eyes. I will always do that.. but that blurring it better was what I really need to do better. And I just added concealer on my lids, big improvement. I recently started moisturizering much more and that made a big difference. I ALWAYS use spf first or if it’s in the moisturizer.

I love that you talked about just some color correction in the one area instead a full face of foundation, which can be heavy, even some of the best ones, and for some of us girls who are going thru the change, there's those super fun heat flashes, which send a flush of heat and redness over your face. If I have less on, and not a full face of foundation, it keeps the redness away, but also let's my face breathe, which ultimately keeps me cool, especially in the summers in humid Ohio!

Excellent video. Something to think about ... I've always had a problem getting the right eyebrow color. It's between a taupe and brown. To make matters worse, because of age and illness, they're almost gone. But I finally found my gold. I found an eyeshadow color the exact color that's perfect for me & the few hairs left and apply it with a small angled brush. As you mentioned, I do sweep up a little and it looks as close to real eyebrows than anything else. And it stays on much better than pencils. 💞

[@mommy2libras]

Thanks for the eye primer recommendation. I have really crepey lids now and also live in Florida so from April to October it seems like everything melts right into those creases and makes them stand out more. I absolutely agree about the mascara. For my whole makeup wearing life, even if I don't put on anything else I've always worn mascara. I have long lashes and they're still pretty thick but they're light brown so you can't even see them if I don't wear something. I've spent over 30 years looking for that perfect mascara- one that isn't globby as soon as you pull ypthe brush out and that doesn't leave a bunch on your lashes to automatically smear all over. And preferably waterproof. In one of my Ipsy packages I got Tarte Lights Camera Lashes and out of the probably hundreds I've tried over the years, this is probably the best. It goes on easy and stays on, doesn't flake or end up under my eyes. My only issue is the packaging- the tube is in this leatherette type casing that has a wide flat seam all the way around longways. Makes it impossible to twist the brush as you apply it. I ended up dropping it down my face and blouse. Now it just takes a bit more care and time but I'd still prefer that stupid case be gone. I haven't tried the waterproof version yet but this one is smudge proof and it works fairly well unless I'm going to be sweating a lot or swimming.

Definitely got value from this video! I've been known to go a little heavy on the eyeliner (and shadows in the wrong shades too) I swapped out the shadows for more coppers and peaches, and used a brush on my lower lash line to smudge out the pencil. I can't believe how much fresher and natural I looked! I appreciate all your straight up information and product suggestions, too. I happen to be a big fan of E.L.F. (-:

I am 73 and still learning 😬 I want to thank you for not using the "blurring filters" on your youtube videos. I don't understand why anyone trying to help people with their skin issues would do that, but many are more concerned in making money I suppose. Sure hope you continue doing these videos Lisa... You give wonderful information and demonstrations ❤️❤️

[@LisaMonique]

Thank you so much Karen!!! 🍂🍁🍂🍁

Agree!! Once the filters enter in, I'm done. These videos are helpful because they are natural, real!

[@user-oq3rc5ef5x]

great information! just discovered you-straight forward, honest and helpful. You have the knowledge and background to help us "experienced" ladies! I like the fact that you use your fingers with some of your makeup application. I want to look good without taking multiple steps to get there..Look forward to watching more of your content :)

[@lvoorhis9547]

I just found your channel and it’s GREAT! I hit “subscribe” right away. I love the makeup tips for us over 50 ladies. I’ve worn makeup since I was a teenager but I always learn something new I could do differently. Thank you for your content!!

[@LisaMonique]

Awesome! Thank you so much for watching and subscribing!! 💕

Great! that’s just how I’ve done my makeup for the past five years and I love it... it looks very natural and takes ten years off my face! 😚

Very good information. I didn't know about some of these tips until today. I love how you're just natural and not phony. You truly are a Natural BEAUTY! Ty. 🙏🏼

I'm 55, and I thought I had totally forgotten how to wear make-up! Thank you so much for your tips. With the notes I took, I'll "give a hoot" enough to get back on the make-up wagon again. Thank you so much!

Hi there from the UK! Just found your channel, only watched this video and I’m hooked, will be binging the rest lol. I’m early 50s and never worn much make up, but feeling I definitely need a refresh, so this video is perfect thank you so much for sharing :)

I'm 68 and for the first time started about 8 months ago seriously wearing makeup! I never really need it before, I got away with lipstick and mascara only but now I feel it's time and your tips I will try!!😍

I really enjoyed this video! I am 72. I was born a blonde with very blonde eyelashes and eyebrows-in other words, invisible! No color at all on my face. I started wearing makeup at 16 and never looked back. I love looking as good as I can every day. I agreed with everything you said, especially about the lash serum, mascara and eyeliner. Such good advice! Thank you!!

Great tutorial for those of us who are "of a certain age!" I'm so glad I came across your channel today! I've become so very tired of Influencers in their 20's & early 30's with NO wrinkles except over the horizon, telling women my age "how to look younger" or the "mistakes" I'm making (most of which I'm not!). You've got some life, as well as professional experience, on you, so your tips will be very useful. 👍Thanks again for being mature enough to show those of us with more life experience how we can look up to date without looking "clownish" or "dead"! Keep these tips & tutorials coming! I also appreciate the price variations in your product recommendations... and that you actually use them with good results! Thanks again! ♥️ ♾

[@Sherrilynn27]

Excellent video. Just the encouragement alone goes a long way. I would be interested in seeing a video for eyeglass wearers as well. That is most definitely my biggest hurdle. Keep up the great content!

Thank you Lisa. Your blush placement is definately a takeaway for me. Tried it, loved it. 🇦🇺👍🙂

[@ftoniaromano6480]

Thank you. I’m 72 and always wore makeup. I kind of stopped 5 years ago when my 91 year old mom died. I realize how much older I look with no blending and definitely eyebrows. My own brows got very sparse. I’m going to the store and buying new makeup.😊Thank you.❤

[@queenpangaea3325]

I love your tips. One thing I'd like to add...it helps to stay away from the more vivid eyeshadow colors we wore when we were younger. Our skin tone changes over time, and the bright plums and purples I wore in my thirties don't look good on my 50-something skin anymore. I see women still wearing the same colors they've worn for decades and it doesn't look good on their skin. I found out that the right shade of browns makes my grey eyes look blue, and makes my skin look warm and healthy. I wear other colors besides the browns, but still careful to choose colors to flatter my skin tone. I use black-brown mascara and eyeliner instead of cool black because it's more flattering to my skin, too, it seems to tone down the imperfections around my eyes....less harsh of a color.

[@amandasuechting5385]

Yes

[@happycamper5846]

I'm very pale with white grey hair, blue eyes and I've found wearing wine coloured mascara and liner seems to work better and not look so harsh. Difficult to find, but worth the effort. Even light colours for shadows look very dark on me. I've just started wearing eye make up again, and am definitely going to follow these tips.

[@truly3743]

I remember that blue eyeshadow back when and I still see some women wearing it?

[@APrimbun]

I like the brownish black, too, but it is rather hard to find.

[@atyourservicedog]

Very true, any age can wear color, and as skin thins our undertones can change. I always tell my clients not to forget colors that match your eyes, the focus is always on using complimentary colors. Complimentary color can bring out the primary or secondary iris color, but matching shades can make your eyes look much bigger. I figured this out doing Halloween makeup, people kept asking me where I got my contacts, they really didn’t look real. The trick to this is recognizing subtlety to get the perfect shade. I also have grey eyes, and steel grey and soft black works beautifully. I’ve gotten them to look purple using a mix of green and violet, there’s so much you can play with. I’m pretty boring most days, buts it so fun to play with colors, tones and shades. I still love color in my mid forties, and don’t forget it washes off if you don’t like it, it’s just makeup! A great trick is to try new looks before you shower or wash your face. There’s no pressure, no one will see it. You have two eyes, try diffusing variations on each and double your experiment.😊

[@jodibradbury2807]

Excellent video. I don't subscribe to too many channels, but I have subscribed to yours. No annoying extra-loud intro, no weird news-lady-speaking-style over emphasizing the last 2 or 3 syllables in every sentence. Timely advice and very easy to follow. No nonsense advice. Thank you!

[@LisaMonique]

Thank you Jodi! 😊

[@jherritagebrown]

I agree with you; it doesn't matter whether or not something is "trendy" or "in style". If it does not flatter or become you, it's not right for *you*. My mother was an expert when it came to applying make-up on her face. She was fair with ash-blonde hair over premature white. Her mantra was "less is more". In her case (and mine) that was so true. I think natural brunettes like you have much more leeway when it comes to make-up. Brava! 🥰

[@randomcommenterfromdownund8949]

This is interesting. I will experiment some of your techniques. As a 50-something, the "grown adult" look I wore in my late 30s and 40s doesn't quite do it for me any more, and I've switched to less product because, well, the products I'm accustomed to don't work as well on my skin any more. The one thing I've figured out is to go a shade darker on my medium-coverage foundation to make up for how my skin has, well, FADED (in the parts where it isn't red or spotted... sigh), but after a few hours, my wrinkles are noticeable. Gonna go more heavy-handed on the moisturiser beforehand like you showed, and see if that helps. I appreciate your demonstration of the lower lash line eyeliner smudging, and think maybe I need a lighter colour there as well.

[@satiashaw1857]

Thanks for giving hope for us older ladies! We otherwise would have only choices: looking cakey and wrinkly, or abandoning make-up. If I could look remotely as beautiful as you do, I will use these tips when I want to wear make-up, thank you!

[@cathyblankenship4481]

Thank you for providing excellent tips! I took the time to read many of the comments and could not believe how judgmental and snarky many. of them were. Your grace in responding to such negativity is inspirational. You are beautiful inside and out!

Thank you for the information regarding the need to NOT wear foundation on the whole face. I do really need to focus on the main part. My eyebrows are a disaster since thinning out so I will try your methods and see how it goes!

Finally found THE channel I needed in my life! I felt like you made this video for me and for me only. Thank you for being concise, to the point and realist of our needs as more mature individuals for price, time of application, and product needs.

[@jeannies792]

This is an excellent video. Sometimes I ask myself “what is it on me that makes me look older than before?’. You have such good explanations about aging that it really helped make sense as to why I/we make mistakes by not considering what’s happening to our skin or look. Hope that makes sense. This is a really helpful video with straight talk. Thanks a lot! 💖🇨🇦🇨🇦

I have the Laura Geller pencil/crayon you used and I love it too. I was really quite happy with it and would buy it again. I received it as part of kit but it wound up being my favorite piece from the kit!

[@TVeres-3dRm]

I gave up makeup a long time ago. I just turned 58, I feel a good moisturizer, an SPF lip balm and/or color is all one really needs. Makeup goes bad so quickly, if you don't replace it as recommended, it gets very costly. I don't know about everyone else, but, nope, I can't afford that. I have been married 30+ years, and He's not complaining. I have a Huge problem with the fundamental necessity of it all. I have felt that way since my college days in my 20's. I'm not criticizing people who want or feel they need makeup, I just don't feel I do, and don't really care what others might think about that. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. 😘

[@katarh]

43 here and I love Tint d'Idol. I discovered the "only put a little bit on around your nose and mouth and cheek apples" technique on my own. I am grateful I went into the store to get the correct color match, though, because most foundations start a shade too dark for me and it was at the suggestion of the gal at the Clinique counter that I try Lancôme instead. They did in fact have a couple of shades paler than what Clinique offered, thankfully. I'm going to try the technique for eyeshadow regarding putting it on the orbit above the lid, since I've got heavy hoods and the lid is mostly obscured.

[@rachelleczeczko9076]

Great tips! For me,the only using concealer in certain areas makes so much sense, I too am in Florida, so this was a good one,also the blending the eyeliner under lower eyelashes, they were all good!

I just discovered your videos and find them very helpful--thanks so much! I'm 66 years old and stopped wearing makeup when the pandemic started. I tossed all of my old makeup earlier this year, so your recommendations will help me figure out what to buy and how to apply/wear. Right now, my approach to makeup when going out for a special evening is maybe just a bit of mascara. You've given me the confidence to rethink this! Thank you!
