Hi Dominique, Just had a thought! before your MAC blusher runs out completely what if you take it to a MAC counter and see if you can match up the colour with a new one or even the ladies may know which one it is? that way you can replace it exactly and also the mystery of the colour can be solved!!! :) Always love your videos, you always brighten my day xxx

[@helenwerner1403]

I use MAC blush in Golden Gate.. I’m pretty sure it’s the color she uses from her description.

[@ritazaal7734]

Yay!! A little shimmer or sparkle on the moving part of a hooded/mature eyelid is okay :-) Thank you for confirming that in this tutorial as I needed to hear that ;-)

[@MiniTatou]

Honestly, best makeup tutorial I've seen. You're funny, inspirational and such a great "teacher". I've tried your Taupe Smokey Eye yesterday and colleagues at work were amazed. Thank you !

[@dominiquesachsetv]

I'm thrilled to hear that! Thank you..

[@skmrrs]

Love your hair! I know this is a smokey eye video, but-I can't stop admiring your haircut/ style. Can you please give info on how this look is achieved? Cut, products, techniques used would be so appreciated. I love the slightly piecey ends. Thank you in advance for your consideration :)

[@leidariveraortiz1526]

Thank you for all your videos! You are such a wonderful lady! A roll model for any woman of any age! I'm 61 took care of my 5 kids, 4 as a single parent. Helped my mother take care of my sick father until he died. Then, took care of her, with all my love, until last year, when she also passed away. From age 18 to 60 I was taking care of a my huge but wonderful family! The only thing I reject, is not been able to take care of myself! Thanks to your tutorial videos, I'm learning so much! I can not thank you enough! Please do not stop doing them! Not many of us can be as beauty and success like you are! But thanks to your so well done job, many of us are well motivate and convince that it's never to late to start taking care of our wonderful lifes, in every or any aspect! Thank you, very much dear Dominique! May God always bless you, and your family!

[@Lsutube963]

Wash your brushes?! Replace your puff?! Really?! This lovely lady is perfection in everything she does. Look at her home video and how she has taught the children to be clean. Her clothes are perfect, her hair healthy and neat - there is no way she would use a dirty brush on her beautiful face! Look for how she cleans her face each night. Not a chance she gets up the next morning and uses something unsanitary on her beautiful, healthy skin. Hopefully you all meant well but I seriously doubt she is one who needs to be cautioned about hygiene!

[@renukapaul3542]

This is the first ever makeup tutorial I've watched where I haven't felt like I can't do it myself. Thank you. You're the best. You make amazing changes and look so pretty by the end of the tutorial. You make it look like piece of cake...I love the fact that you teach with such simplicity and humor added to it. Thank you. I almost wish you could teach me one on one..but this is great too. Thank you again..

Mac do have some of the best makeup brushes on the market right now but if they're not in your price range I would recommend Real Techniques. Honestly I find them just as good if not better sometimes than most other brands. I absolutely love this makeup look, I hate wearing bright colours on my eyes so when I saw this tutorial I was so so happy. 😍 I'm quite new to your channel but I am completely hooked lol. From Sarah.

Fabulous. I also wear false lashes daily and I will try the Andrea 53's. I usually buy the Andrea 08's in black in bulk. The band has a nice curve so they never lift in the corners. I also love Duo Glue in the dark colour because it looks like liner. I'm going to try the Tarte lippie and gloss you mentioned. I really appreciate the quality of your videos.

Beautiful, as always! Now I will save you a dollar or 2...Milani lip pencil in Spice is an EXACT DUP for MAC Spice!! Same texture, same color, same lasting power for half the price. The only problem...everyone else knows this and it is always sold out! So any time you go by a Milani display and see one or two in stock, GRAB those puppies!

[@ndiaz1969]

Thanks so much for these tutorials you so kindly prepare for us. You know that when one reach certain age (I'm 46) we kind of lean to use more neutral colors and try to stay away from bright colors and sparkles. Well.....I still use greens, (my eyes are olive green) and blues, specially during the summer. Do you? If you do......Throw us some candy ah!! ;-) xoxo

[@dominiquesachsetv]

+ndiaz1969 Sure, sometimes I'll add a pop of color for pizazz or a night out :)

[@denisemarie6131]

+ndiaz1969 Just wanted to pop in to say that I'm 50+++ and wear all colors. I've learned to be light-handed in application to certain portions of the eyes, and where it is I can go straight-up yadda yadda woo on other sections. My skin texture has so definitely changed. I have to embrace the change!!!! Not fun, but it's worth it! It's only make-up, so express yourself with intention. Go out there, face-forward! ;D

[@dominiquesachsetv]

+Chris Hunt Super! I love hearing that :)

[@ephrussi9765]

Great vlog - helpful and informative. Don't mean to be rude - but you need to clean your brushes and powder puff. Weekly. They need cleaning to eliminate bacteria. Also, how long did it take you to use your MAC blush? Check with MAC to see how long their blushes last. You might have gone beyond the expiration date. Don't let your blush, pencil etc. get so worn. Thank you for your vlogs.

[@lovelycorinne]

They are just stained. You can use them for many years like that and they are perfectly fine to use.

[@tooziefaloozie]

Don't forget she said she had already done half her make up

[@stacyniles9854]

Hello Dominique I recently turned 50yrs old few months ago and I've been looking for hair/makeup tips/tricks on looking younger for awhile now when I discovered one of your videos. I was absolutely blown away & very impressed how easy you make everything look lol. You made me feel very relaxed; at ease knowing I'm not alone in some of my, lets say, age issues lol. I was excited in the fact I actually found helpful tips from someone with same skin tone, eye & hair color as myself-that always helps right lol. I thank you for taking the time to help us individuals who may be a little less diverse in this area. I mean lets face it all of us (women) could use or deserve a little more selfcare at times right lol and it helps to know what to do or how to do it. I also appreciate and am grateful for your spunky, uplifting, humorous attitude bcuz sometimes makeup and hair care can definitely be stressful so it helps to laugh about it or in my case, at myself. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

[@GrumpyKitten375]

[@j.nicolebenigno6041]

You are so pretty, thank you so much for all the tips. I stayed away from lashes, due to the uplift issue. Love how they look, so excited to try the Andrea 53's. I think Charlotte Tilbury's La doce Vita eye pallette would look amazing on you.You have that vibe . I just purchased the sephora contour eye pencil in cappuccino, Great pencil.

[@ritacymbalista3262]

I don't know if there is a woman out there who, literally, enjoys applying make up as much as you do. And, may I say, what a pleasure and inspiration it is to watch you. I'm going to buy the Kat Von D palette one of these days, however, I found a Two Faced Natural Matte palette at Ulta the other day. Can't wait to play with the colors.

[@cwm5316]

[@sandradopico3802]

Hello Dominique, I'm a Swiss women 42 years old. Sorry my english is not so good. I want to tell you how much I LOVE your videos. You're so funny, beautiful and extremely natural. I have the same style like you and I learned a lot from your videos. Thank you that you take this time and make these videos available for us. Sandra

[@suzanne4396]

I am a natural redhead with very pale skin...do you think this color palette would work for me?? Also, at 52, my eyelids are a bit creepy---Is the shimmer pencil still ok??

[@michellekelly2937]

If your eyelids are crepey, AVOID SHIMMER! It will only emphasize the crepiness. Also, the Tarte 360 Creaseless eye primer is an amazing eyeshadow base that will smooth the look of the eye lids and keep eyeshadow looking beautiful all day long. I couldn't be without it! And yes, this eyeshadow palette would be perfect for you! : )

[@m.elizabethcampbell5756]

I Bought everything I need. I am 71 but I am going to try it maybe a bit softer, she has no wrinkles on her eyes, iVe looked at other videos for the older women and what's the difference.

[@lorenap7679]

I do a ver y similar look but using loreal infallible in Amber rush and a pinky brown blush called Siena by jordana as a transition shade. Very similar outcome but on the rosy side. Then I wear the same blush in the cheeks and a rosy nude lip and I love the monochromatic look!

[@elisamonast9730]

Love that lipstick. It's my go to neutral for sure. May I recommend the lip balm by Estée Lauder? I beleive its limited edition but it's amazing. It's by their Godess collection :-)
