Best Makeup Brushes for Mature Skin

[@bobbisue342]

Thanks for the great advise. I'm glad I'm not alone on the foundation/brush business, I've given mine to my daughter. I'm always looking for good eye brushes and now I know where to go. I'm turning 50 in two weeks and your advise is always spot on for me. I really appreciate what you do for us crinkly gals. 💋

[@katsm-wo9704]

It was very refreshing to see someone talk favourably about less expensive brush options, thanks

[@jenn7753]

Thank you for including the prices. I hate when I watch a review video and they don't tell you how much the stuff costs! I am 39 so I'm at that point where I need more mature makeup techniques and your videos have been so great in helping me with that.

[@michellemybelle22]

I picked up the Beauty Junkees eye brushes per your recommendation and I love them! Hard to believe they are so nice for the price. I like the slightly more petite sizes of their crease brushes and blenders, as I feel I have more control. Thanks so much for the code too!

[@lagniappe1727]

You do the best reviews and comparisons on KZbin. Period.

[@Donnamarie304]

I received the Beauty Junkie eye brush set as a gift for Christmas per Angies using them, and they are AWESOME and such a great value. I'm going to look into purchasing more of the the real techniques brushes as well. I just bought the face brush Angie mentioned and I love that as well.! Thanks Angie for all the great reviews!!!!!

[@janicemillican9754]

Your red top is absolutely beautiful on you....that shade of red is perfect for you. Thank you for the great information about these brushes.

[@denaedwards469]

Love love loved the video, brushes can be SO CONFUSING! Would love to see a full face video on your makeup you were wearing!

[@rljeep1]

Hi Angie, I love all your videos. I'm so glad I found them. You have such great ideas and great taste. Pink is a great color on you. I don't know if you remember some years ago stylists were showing different color swatches next to a person's face and hair color to show what colors looked best on them and they were named after the seasons. You are a spring and summer, in my opinion. I am too. Pinks look absolutely lovely on you. I think you look good in all you wear though. Keep up all the good work you do for us. Love it. Hugs!

[@LauraPazzaglia]

Since I can't get the same brands (I live in Italy) I appreciate the explanation of the shape, fullness, cut and size of the brushes so that I can find something similar. I switched to using a brush(es) for eyeshadow last year - after years of sponge-stick (or whatever that is called applicator) what a difference! It's so much easier to blend and smoke eyeshadows with a brush - looking forward to getting more for blush, bronzer, etc. THANKS ANGIE!!! Ciao, L

[@teesmith4799]

Great video Angie, you are really informative and organized! You look gorgeous as usual. That colour is stunning on you. An idea for a future video might be how you organize all of your brushes and make up. I seem to have make up all over my dresser all the time (sorry if you've already done a video like this and I missed it).

[@terryomalley2089]

I bought the Beauty Junkee brushes last year per your accolades, and I love them! Thank you so much for your review, and I love your sweater and necklace today! You are a classy lady!

[@marycordes4509]

I love my IT Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe flat top buffing brush! The new(er) ELF line of brushes are nice too! I use the small smudge brush to line my eyes with eye shadow and it works really nicely! The Real Technique brushes have been calling out to me for about a year...but I'm still using my Sonia Kashuk brushes that I've had forever!

[@joswearingen3507]

I just received three sets of brushes (Beauty Junkees and Real Techniques.) Love them! Thought I would since I already love IT's foundation and powder brushes. You're right about the pencil brush being scratchy. Maybe I need to cough up some dough for Mac or Sigma. I bought 3 pencil cups at The Container Store to hold them on my vanity. Glad I subscribe, your reviews are must-see before purchasing anything makeup or skincare related. Thanks again!

[@karenparry4591]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. It's nice to know the brushes that are worth plunking the money down for.

[@ravenhuffer2514]

I have tried a few of your favorites and they have quickly became my favorites (timeless skincare--especially). A lot of other products mentioned by others on you tube have been epic fails. Your recommendations have been really spot on for me :D Thank you so much for addressing the brush aspect of makeup. My mom, an artist says that the brush really makes all the difference in the artistic world of applying paint. I feel the same is true for make-up brushes and look forward to trying the brushes you mentioned.

[@ldel6069]

Hi Angie, I bought the Beauty Junkees set (when you originally reviewed them) as a gift for a Makeup Artist student, and she loves them! Great price point especially with your code! Thank you.

[@LisaMarieDC]

I am glad I found this channel! I can relate more to this than any other, because of age related beauty. I am not over 50, but I am not 25-30 either, and I would say a majority of the beauty channels fit that age range. I look forward to hearing your suggestions, and reading the comments to see what works for our skin, hair, ect.

[@hope2nou95]

Have you tried Nathalie The Beauty Diva? And there should be a link in her Down bar of allot of mature you tubers.

[@LisaMarieDC]

hope2nou95 No, I haven't, but I will. Thank you for the suggestion!

[@joycechitwood531]

HI I've been watching for a cpl yrs and really enjoy having someone closer to my age to help. Some of the younger You Tubers don't have the same issues. So love and enjoy mature by age ladies to have to help us and guide and give us some great products to work with. Thank you. I love ur pick of Brushes. I have a lot of RT and Elf. Been checking out the Beauty Junkies brushes. Recently heard of them. I may have to get that eye brush for sure when my taxes come in. Thanku again.

[@brendaf1033]

Great video and thank you. We have a lot of the same favorites. I love IT and Real Technique brushes. I have one of the VERY expensive brushes also. It is a beautiful brush but just doesn't do well with my skin. I'm 63 and really appreciate your videos and view points. Gives me a jumping off place. I did order the Beauty Junkies eye set you mentioned. No such thing as too many brushes!

[@Dee17050]

I love IT brushes and RT too. I've recently tried a few Morphe brushes and some are great. They have different lines of brushes and the best are the gun metal and elite lines. They aren't expensive either!

[@hope2nou95]

I got the makeup junkee eye brushes. I had the brow and spoolie you helped me to decide to order the whole eye set. I had at least one of every recommendation you made but then I had to have the beauty junkee crease and blending after this video so I got the set.

[@tinajohnson619]

Thanks for the brush information! I recently bought my first IT brush from Ulta with a 20% off coupon I had and I love it. Very soft on the skin and blends face products beautifully.

[@TerriLeeNiftyandThrifty]

You've made up my mind about grabbing that beauty junkees eye set!!!

[@astlrclan]

Thank you for recommending the Beauty Junkees brushes. I purchased all three sets. I love the face and eye brushes and I'm working on finding ways to incorporate the Precision Brush Set.

[@ThePamelaJordan]

Awesome review. I have been replacing my brushes because my aging face was getting scratched up and tugged by my brushes. I actually just recently purchased a bunch of new brushes, primarily It Cosmetics and Real Techniques metal brushes. I am going to check out Beauty Junky brushes after watching your review.Thanks for doing this video.

[@lipstickrepub]

Thanks for turning me onto the Beauty Junkees brush set! They are my favorite as well and get used everyday.

[@ladybird7610]

Love this video, so practical and informative. Thanks angie!

[@Tyraluvs]

I heard you say you tried some squirrel brushes. I have purchased a few Wayne Goss brushes and I love these brushes. Super ultra soft and does magic on applying eyeshadow and finding your crease. Look at the #6 for crease and blending...love

[@marion4739]

Awesome video Angie...was waiting for a video like this to appear!!!

[@elizabethmc5850]

Love Wayne Goss and Chikuhodo but also really find Sigma and Sephora Pro brushes as well as Morphe to be good. You just can't beat a MAC 217!

[@discovered2008]

Wow first time using a discount code from KZbin on Amazon. Thanks! Cant wait for my brushes to arrive and try them out. I love you reviews.

[@wendymac423]

Great video Angie, thank you! I have a ton of the IT Cosmetic brushes, and they are my fave! I know what you mean about soft brushes. I have 'mature skin, and the brushes I used even 10 years ago, don't do the trick for me now. With aging eyelids, we need to do 'magic' daily to create light and definition. Have a great day!

[@sg2423sg]

Angie, this was a great video, so informative. I went ahead and used your code for the discount on beautyjunkees brushes, got the combo set from ammy and I am so happy. I used the rounded kabuki style brush for foundation and the dual fibre brushes for my eyes today. Thanks so much for the tips. I think these are similar to morphe brushes, in fact they are softer and maybe even better price-wise!!

[@av2827]

You've got to try morphe's elite line. So soft, so affordable. The hype on those is real. Great suggestions!

[@kat1york]

Hi Angie, I remember when you did a video on Beauty Junkie brushes. I bought a set of the eye brushes and LOVE them. There's one that is a dupe for Mac's 217. BJ Pro blending brush. Much softer. Happy New Year..💙

[@metallicleoraa]

Another great video! I got the everyday minerals plush mineral brush last month and I love it! Haven't used any other brush for my loose powder. I also love their eye kabuki brushes. The plush minerals brush is only 16$.

[@theclosetshopper]

I have to agree. My fave brands are the same. iT Cosmetics, Real Techniques, and Beauty Junkie. I think I bought most of them because of you actually.

[@vickiznavor1563]

I am happy that you're contributing to Woman's Day magazine-congrats!

[@horsemania2667]

Hi Angie, I just got the same necklace your wearing in this video. it's absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing it. 💏💄

[@divinehag8039]

It Cosmetics and Bare Minerals are my favorite brushes. They don't shed and feel great.

[@cindy133]

Beautiful Stella and Dot necklace! Nice statement piece!

[@fairday2]

Thanks for the tip on doing a wing on older eye skin. I had mostly given up on doing a wing.

[@rachd4794]

Try Morphe brushes. Many youtubers rave about them, but for good reason! The elite and gun metal line are the softest and best quality and they are super affordable. To me, real techniques isn't soft enough. The Morphe brushes are really soft. There's a bunch of youtubers with coupon codes so you can get 10% off. Also, I heard that the Target up and up brushes were also good quality. I'm a fan of synthetic brushes because they are soft, easy to clean, and pick up product better.

[@loriburr4675]

Thanks Angie! I just got my Beauty Junkees brush set and I can't wait to try them out. I love watching your videos and hearing about the best products for mature looks.

[@susie7988]

You are my favorite…I'm 55 years old and very busy. You get right to the point and you're no nonsense…I appreciate all your the time and expertise you put into your reviews. If you ever have time can you please elaborate on why you decided to get veneers and how you picked your dentist. After many years I find that my 6 social have dwindled down and I would love to get them. Love your smile..

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

+Holly Bertha Thanks so much Holly! I've been getting a lot of questions on that lately, so I think I should make a video on it!

[@susie7988]

yay…thank you so much

[@kariegootkin3972]

I'm so glad I found your channel. At 49 my skin is changing and your channel is very helpful. You helped me find Cera ve moisture PM. I like to use the PM in the daytime because I too want to use my own sunscreen.

[@bephoebe]

I just ordered the 8 piece beauty junkee set. I can't wait to try them out. Thanks for the great coupon!

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

+Carol Roby You're welcome!!

[@CareyXO]

I'm 41 and Morphe works great for me. They are my favorite brushes. I do love have some It brushes that I like, but they are more expensive than Morphe and RT is good too.

[@fionafrazer8820]

Great informative video for anyone unsure of where to start. I love Real Techniques and IT Cosmetics Brushes, and they are really all I use, except for a MAC 217, which I found was nowhere near as good as the IT crease blending brush but I still use it (despite the shedding). I have 3 of the RT setting brushes - use one for undereye, one for highlighter and one as a spare! I also think the RT blending sponge works really well, for me it is easier to use (and to clean) than the Beauty Blender. RT has more angles - better for wrinkles!

[@mariacasella979]

Cool..I just bought real techniques brushes and beauty blender and I like them a lot..elf brushes work well too

[@glyndamillnerphillips539]

Great video now I know why I am having so much trouble applying something's I have been using the wrong brushes. Thanks I might just order that last set you showed.

[@maritza211]

this was soooo helpful! I just picked up an Elf brush last night, but this was so great. I just got the Beauty Junkees set! Thanks for the code!

[@bella4644]

Just the info I've been mulling about, purchasing a nice set of brushes, that is, but didn't know where to start! Thank you so much Angie! :))

[@suecioc1350]

Hey Angie! Great review! I'm with you on the it cosmetics brushes! Love most! I recently purchased the Carolyn O makeup brush.....doop for artis brushes. Looks like a toothbrush with soft dense bristles! Gives an airbrushed effect for me 61 yr young face! It's a time saver too! Enjoy You videos! Thx!!!

[@taschadevoll9533]

This question has nothing to do with makeup brushes but I have meaning to ask you if you're for or against the "frownies." I recently started to sleep with the frownies on my forehead and I believe it's working!

[@dayswithdeb2344]

Thanks Angie! Great video! Your hair and makeup look so pretty!

[@tht8916]

Best explanation of brushes and their purposes!

[@roger12393]

I bought these brushes and really love them. Thank you so much for this video. I never would of known about these brushes if it weren't for this video.

[@charleneaugustyniak2591]

Looking for an updated version of this video but don't see one! Would you do an updated version of makeup brushes for mature women? Thank-you

[@dcdawn]

Having watched most of her videos current to way back when her brush philosophy has not really changed. Check out her Amazon store for any updates on cleaning equipment...Just my opinion PS I'm 65 so I am very interested too.

[@emoosemoose]

I love the Real Technique brushes as well. Great suggestions - thanks for posting! :)

[@gaborzband]

Angie, I am possibly the only guy, who commented on your videos! Well, I am not interested in make-up, but you are absolutely wonderful. and I will be watching your videos just to enjoy your beautiful, amazing, pretty face! Angie, you look like a fantastic 40 years old, fantastic Lady! Lucky you and your husband is a very, very lucky man! Greetings from Vancouver, Gabor

[@PP-vs7xm]

This was helpful. I need to weed out my brushes to get an idea what I really need. Love your eye makeup -- UD Gwen Stefani palette? A tutorial please!

[@malba411]

I cleaned all my brushes this weekend. Wow, I did not realize I have so many. I saw a video by Martha Stewart on how to properly clean your makeup brushes and dry them. They are an investment and I want them to last. I have quite a few and realize that you do go for the same favorites. I have my supply drawer with extra's because I'm afraid the ones I like will be discontinued or changed. You know how that goes.

[@debibasile7438]

I really liked this review! Got so many ideas. Thanks Angie!

[@EGGstravagantkitchen]

Please do an updated brush video especially if you have one for high-end brushes that would be great

[@stitchmommy]

Angie, we have so many of the sa me brushes! I'm a huge fan of the Real and IT brushes. I also like Sonja K and ELF. If I want I will treat myself to a Bobbi Brown too. I used to like the Trish McEvoy brushes back when she was at Nordies. I love that you understand what it takes to get product skillfully applied to mature skin -- it's a bit of a moving target. Some days I feel like my eyelids are like a table cloth that's TOO BIG FOR THE TABLE! I'm guessing your snazzy Japanese artisan crafted squirrel brush is a Wayne Goss. I just love him. Feel free to send it to me. ;-) Thank you so much for the hard work you do on your videos and research.

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

+Ginger Brown Nope, the mystery brush is NOT a Wayne Goss brush.

[@stitchmommy]

+HotandFlashy , hmmmmmmm, and I was feeling sooooo sure of myself! I must have gotten a little cocky after picking up a new Sonja K contour brush yesterday.

[@roger12393]

Loved this video so informative!! Thanks so much Angie. I will check out the Beauty Junkees brushes. Never heard of them before.

[@jhelton3554]

Thank you for the closed captions

[@GrannyZanna]

Question: How often do you clean your brushes? Since you use the blending brushes for blending only, do you clean them more often? Seems like they would eventually pick up whatever products you are blending. Love your videos and blog! Thanks for being there!

[@pocahontassmith59]

try Shany brushes....i got some gifted to me and they r very soft and seem real durable. it was the 24 pc set....cost around 40 not on sale.

[@rhondathornton5188]

Again thanks for doing this awesome comparison !!! Your the best!

[@janlee8418]

Thanks for this video. I've been muddling through how to figuring out which shape brush for which task.

Thanks for this! I'm looking for a new brush for blush application. I lost my best one last time we went out of town. So aggravated!!

[@Kristinn321]

I love all the brands you mention. I might need t try the Mac eyeshadow brush, I don't think I have anything like it. I love the BJ brushes, the best out there for the price! xoxoox

[@amyernst2912]

I can't live without my MAC 217 it blends the create beautifully 😉

[@michelemccool2374]

UD makes a great liquid foundation brush for mature skin.

[@MarionBrandsen6204]

that was really helpful. I love the Real Technique brushes and the Sigma F80 for my foundation. When I started using brushes I bought Zoeva but Real Techniques is so much better. Unfortunately we can't get It cosmetics here.

[@caleighbrown9284]

This type of video and info is so hard to find, so thank you! Literally to find a video which isnt by a youtuber pushing a brand they partner with, and is just THE BEST. Lots of stuff is focused on oily skin too or only drugstore options. My skin isnt necessarily mature, but I am wondering if the brushes in the video would work for people like me.. I need a flat foundation and buffer brush for BB & Armani liquid foundation but I know a lot of buffer brushes inherently are rough on skin. Is there a buffer that is the "most gentle"? Also, if dry/sensitive skin - is there an amazing foundation brush that can blend sans buffer. Beautyblenders dont give the same effect. Any price point or alternative application is welcome! Many youtubers ask about this on other pages and never get answers :/ Any comments welcome :)

[@sheilajones9249]

Hi Angie, thank you so much. I love RT, I must get my hands on some IT Cosmetics brushes (difficult in the UK & not sure where to get them from). I think you would love the German brand called Zoeva, soft, uber fluffy & v densely packed, not too dissimiliar to RT. Take care & keep the fantastic videos coming xxxxxxxx

[@happycrickets1901]

Geesh, who knew getting old was so complicated!!! I'll keep buying my brushes at Wal-Mart for now so it doesn't take away from my botox/filler money. Lol

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

Great information, thank you!!! I am also disgruntled that I spent a lot for a Mac brush (123 or 129, kind of scraped off; blush brush) and it sheds like crazy! Grrr! Thought it would be "better", but I've found some of my cheapest brushes have stood the test of time. :) Happy 2016 to you; looking forward to your vids.

[@margaretbailey02]

Thank you for all your info. I have learned so much from your videos.

[@mzfrugal1227]

You look so beautiful in this video. You would never know it's winter time with how flawless your skin looks. LOL I really love your eyeshadow and your techniques used. Have you ever tried the Morphe brand brushes? I have no idea what brand this foundation brush is, but I love it. Hopefully, someone else may. Idk where I got it from, Ulta ,or where? Go figure. However, it says L.A.B Don't get mad get even!??...HELP Hope everyone has a blessed day!

L O V E your video s!!! Thanks for the tips on these brushes! A good brush brings good make up!

[@Gogoro7]

Great video on brushes. Can you do a video on a one eye shadow color application? I have tiny hooded old eyes and would love to wear a little shadow, but wearing more than one color is bad, it shuts my eyes down terribly! It closes my eyes and it almost looks like I have dark bruised eyes, yuck! I would like to find colors that won't do that and how to correctly apply one color and yes I use Mac's paint pots as a base and still no help. Hope you can give me some ideas. Thanks😊

[@lensdiva]

Do you think natural bristles vs the synthetic ones have a different application method? As in, does one perform better- with liquid foundation let's say- over the other simply because of the bristle. ?? I have both in IT Cosmetics, Shany and Younique. But I don't have multiples for one use, so I can't really make a judgement one way or the other. Great video! Thanks for sharing.
