Big Makeup Mistakes to Avoid | Common Beginner Don'ts That Age You | Dominique Sachse

[@shelbywarren1846]

Hi Dominique! I am one of your younger viewers and I am currently finishing up my 4th year of medical school. Since finding your channel and listening to your message I have become more confident in myself in multiple ways. I recently purchased your book, and I am looking forward to reading it soon. I sincerely thank you for all of the empowering and inspiring content you create.

[@dominiquesachsetv]

So wonderful to have you here Shelby, and congrats on finishing med school! What a big accomplishment! I'm cheering you on..

[@leslieportis]

Love the side-by-side demo! Such good info. Switching gears here, I found Rotho eye drops at Target. My eyes are so sensitive and some the eye brightening drops really sting. These are cooling drops and make the whites look great too. I follow up with lubricating drops for added moisture. I think I've found the one. 😁

Wow! In my opinion, this was your BEST make-up tutorial for 50+ women! You explained so clearly how and why. I am excited to start using your techniques tomorrow morning. You are truly a blessing to me and my struggles with dealing with the ravages of time. You helped me realize that as a 55 year old woman in 2022, I need to start wearing my make-up differently. Thank you for your help and for enlightening me. I am eternally grateful!

[@mimbednar]

You are absolutely the BEST at explaining how to apply makeup for us "older" gals and giving the reason why you should/shouldn't do something. As a lifelong makeup junkie, I have learned SO much from you, especially with how to apply eye makeup. I was never happy with the light shadow on the lid and then a darker contour above. I did my eye makeup exactly how you explained and it came out great! I have the life back in my face again! You are amazingly articulate, beautiful, and such an inspiration.

[@svelanikolova5776]

I will be hitting 50 in 2 years. I concentrated on my skin not my make up. I do scrubs 3 times a week ( baking soda coconut oil and olive oil paste scrub) Facial masks after and diy oil mixtures on damp skin. Always apply your oils on clean damp skin. I hope you try this rout as well. Your make up will go on much better. I hope all my beauty vids are viable for you to check them out.

[@dottyfulcrum]

Yup. Me, too. I also learned to "trust the process." When I applied the shadow in that 'lift' colouration, I thought, "Oh, my god. This looks ridiculous and I'm gonna spend the next 20 minutes taking it all off and starting again." When I got to the end, though, I was amazed and have done it this way 3 times now. Love-love it. And, yes, compliments from friends and spouse! :-)

[@Florophase]

I love your videos so much! And I especially appreciate how your "wrong" side mistakes are actually mistakes some of us make, and not just obvious, over-exaggerated techniques that everyone knows looks bad. I mean even your "wrong" side still has appeal. It's not horrible. It's just that your correct side is so, so much more beautiful and soft. What a difference, even on a face as strikingly lovely as yours! 💖

Hey dear how are you doing…?😊.

[@dianeturnage9046]

I agree. Dominique doesn't need a thing on her beautiful face, but what she does with make up just accentuate her natural beauty, and that is what we should do. Not try to change our facial features.

[@spectraamunari9059]

Sooooo good! I was an artist at MAC and then for TV & Film for many years. You nailed this. Don’t be afraid of light peach glowy blush ladies. Also, if you’re still oily at all know that your face powder and foundation may oxidize depending on the brand (this means you may need a tad bit lighter).

[@pamspencer5733]

Do you consults?

[@nikkiflippy007]

So I have a medical condition called Dysautonomia, and it causes my face to get really flushed red and sweats (I can't cool my body temperature). The problem I have is the sweat beading up under the foundation, causing it to slide. The redness is always there. I'm constantly having to blot or use a fan to dry my face. Primers and setting sprays don't really seem to help. Any tips 😢

[@tomjones2157]

@nikkiflippy007 there are several brands that sell antiperspirant creams for face or anywhere on the body. They are very effective even very sweaty men swear by them

[@shar553]

Another great tutorial. Thank you, Dominique. A tip I learned from a sales girl at Ulta years ago, is to also use the Urban Decay eyelid primer on or around your lips. It keeps lipstick in place and helps to prevent spreading.

But please tell me it's OK to put a touch of shimmer mid-eyelid 🙂I'm gonna tell my viewers about you on my channel - I hope that's OK. You are so young and beautiful and I've been watching you for some time. I really respect your views and opinions on just about everything. Take care, big hug - Lo xo

I’m always so excited when I find women around my age that enjoy makeup and can teach me how to adjust and improve my application. I love to draw and paint, for me makeup is just another artistic medium that I love and has the bonus of helping me feel my best. It’s not about vanity, it’s about including something in my life that gives me confidence and makes me happy. I’m just so excited, I now have a heap of your videos to binge watch while I do my makeup 🥰 thanks Dominique 😊💙🇦🇺

Oh Dominique, this video is outstanding! I am 62 years old and have always loved makeup, but know I need to up-date products and techniques to make myself look my best. I agree 1,000 percent about going with a slightly darker/warmer foundation. I figured this out several years ago. I have been moving toward using lighter blushes and lipsticks, but your video really shows how much better those colors look than darker tones. I don’t mind making good investments in higher end cosmetics if the products do what I need them to do, but I can see my techniques really need some tweaking. I’ve always had trouble with my eye brows and I am going to try your brow product and techniques. I can’t thank you enough for this ! Makeup really gives me a boost of confidence and as I am getting older, I can use that boost! I appreciate you, your channel and your followers for being so inclusive and supportive of each other. Women really do “hold up half the sky” and we deserve to look and feel great all our lives. Thanks again, this was wonderful!

[@jeffandyvettebrown7736]

I love this tutorial! So informative and great details. I’m retired (61) and stopped wearing makeup when I first retired, then recently started wearing a bit, even just on stay home days. What a difference in my confidence and attitude! I wouldn’t normally want to put this much makeup on, just for special occasions, so I wonder if you have a “bare bones” approach for casual days? That would be so helpful!

[@lydialindeman522]

So happy to see a experienced and talented makeup tutorial for someone my age!! My skin and lack of feeling good about myself has suffered due to my 3 years of chemotherapy and immunotherapy Cancer treatment. So Turning 65 is such a blessing for me , I had prepared myself for death and stopped caring about my looks and self care especially after my husband of 40 years passed last year😢Have to admit I was stuck in some the 80’s bad makeup applications.Especially since the 80s and early 90s were the years I worked as a model .. Some people say it’s only makeup but it goes so much deeper. Thank you Dominique, I have learned a lot and you have inspired me to celebrate and focus on myself.❤

Thank you so much! I am 67 and I have not worn makeup for about 5 years! My daughter is getting married and I discovered my old products and techniques no longer work for me! Thank you for all the tips, especially the one about matching your chest because I discovered quickly that matching my facial skin made me look pale and sickly. Update: I tried again with a warmer shade foundation that matched my chest. Shortened my brow length, and changed from shimmery eyeshadow to the colors you recommended and did my eyeliner under the lashes. Overall, I am much more pleased with the result. A lot of it was that the shimmery eyeshadows amplify all the wrinkles in my eyelids and around my eyes! Thank you for all your help

Thank you, Dominique, for this detailed and helpful video! I am a mature "true autumn" woman with auburn hair and dark amber brown deep set eyes. Everytime I am helped at the cosmetic counter, the artist convinces me I need a vanilla or ivory matte shadow on my lid. They remind me light comes forward and I need the lighter shadow to compensate for my deep set eyes. I point out that my eyes are not hooded at all, and in addition, that I think I need some subtle warmth on my face, pretty much everywhere. Every one of these shadows I have purchased, even those with a soft sheen, look SO chalky on my freckled and warm skin tone. I look tired, lifeless, and older. Thank you for confirming that my own instincts are right. After watching you video I purchased a cream lid shadow in a soft copper and I love it on my lid. By the way, you are beautiful and a fantastic "teacher," as well!

But this is the second of your tutorials I have watched that has completely transformed the way I apply makeup at this point in my life. I routinely get complements now on how great I look as opposed to years of feeling faded and unnoticeable. What a confidence booster! You are beautiful inside and out and I so appreciate your straightforward, honest, confident approach to life and your viewers. Thank you thank you!!

[@indulekhabrooks402]

I am so beyond happy that I found your tutorials! Both of my daughters are very talented with their makeup but I think that talent skipped a generation because I have made every mistake you pointed out! That won’t happen anymore. Thank you for taking the time to go step by step and explain proper techniques.

[@renaeshoemaker9556]

I really love, love, love you. Hurt people, hurt people. You are such a beautiful soul. You are helping me change. Thank you. Renae

[@angiemoreland4366]

One of the best videos you’ve ever done! Sad to say but my makeup techniques fell mostly on the wrong side. No wonder I always look tired and sagging face! Thank you for this video! Also I’d love to see you show us how to target and diminish the look of lines around and down the sides of the mouth area. Especially for someone with deep lines. Thanks! ❤️

Thanks, Dominique! Foundation choice is so relatable! I finally realized this past year that my foundation color was too light. I struggle with shades as a fair neutral and many foundations oxidize so I always erred on the lighter side and compensated with a little bronzer. I finally found a shade that is deeper (not warmer as that doesn’t necessarily work for me). Where it made a huge impact was around my mouth/chin. The lighter foundation just emphasized that my skin isn’t as taught as it once was and made me look OLD! Just like the shadow trick, a deeper foundation helps recede the looser skin and neutralizes that area. (So does smiling 😊 and yes, primer is a must!). Thankfully I did not over tweeze my brows so have a pretty good handle on them and I definitely know the shadow placement on the “right” side works best every time… but… black eyeliner…is truly harsh no matter the placement with my blue eye fair skin coloring. Gray, brown, navy or plum provide definition and more flattering. With your complexion, eye and hair color, black is ideal!

[@ALT-vz3jn]

Yes. Black isn’t good for everyone. Personally I look a lot better with a brown eyeliner. I use liquid liner and do a little ‘flick’ of a wing at the outer corner 😁

[@AlexandraTanasa]

Love this! Would you ever recreate one of your first makeup tutorials and chat about what would you change?

[@dominiquesachsetv]

Great idea!! Thanks for the suggestion..

[@melindarozas1334]

I 2nd this!!!

[@loripeppers4841]

I followed along as best I could with what I had. What a beautiful difference-looked instantly younger just by not black lining my 👀 and using eyelid primer. I love your posts and always glean new tips and inspiration. Thank you.

[@leonatom15gmailtom11]

Hello, I'm having trouble with my dark circles and wrinkles under my eyes.

[@lindasantos7442]

Oh my god, after watching your videos several times; I followed everyone of your suggestions & I received so many compliments & was even asked if I got some fillers. Thank you so much I can't tell you how much better I look & feel!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sharonva316]

So, have been following you for some time. I have adjusted my skin care based on some of your skills. And last week while at my bible study with a group of women who I have known for 15-20 years; one of them told me I looked younger. I had no makeup on and I contributed it to my skin care guru - you. So thank you... I am in your age bracket - I think I have 2 or 3 years on you but it is nice to have my skin care noticed... Thank you.

[@dominiquesachsetv]

Thanks for sharing!! That must have felt nice to hear..

[@kazcampbell2816]

Thank you, after discovering you earlier this year I feel transformed! I have never really bothered with a full face application just mascara and face powder generally, but you have inspired me to go out, treat myself and really focus on making the most of my face. Even my husband (who loves the way I look anyway ❤️) says he loves the way I do my makeup now. You are an inspiration, keep doing these wonderful tutorials making us 50 somethings still feel as good as we did in our younger years. Cheers Dominique, best wishes Karen from Manchester, England 🇬🇧😘

[@onetallsunflower]

Hands down, BEST makeup tutorial!!! You’re such a great teacher! Thank you!💕

[@piaboss2442]

Thank you so much for showing how to to. I am 66 years now and need another way to do my makeup. Pia Meriam from Denmark

[@melz3752]

Best, BEST makeup tutorial for proper and flattering makeup colors and placement and techniques. I have never been good at makeup but the older I get the more I need to learn how to wear it. Thank you 🙏 ❤️

[@karenrobbins6656]

I liked the side by side comparison. It was helpful seeing the results of the two techniques. I got to re-examine my foundation color now

[@rrpressly]

Oh my gosh, the mistakes I have been making. This video was SO enlightening. Thanks Dominique!

[@chrisfreemanmastin9358]

Even with makeup mistakes you could never look bad!

[@angibrooks7287]

I typically dont leave a comment, but the way you spoke to us, it made me teary for explaining so well . I have subscribed to your chanel for years, but it was fisrt timei went back over a year,congrats on your new charter , happy for you ❤

[@Iristoddlewis]

,beautifully done. I'm 80 this year with good skin and find your videos so helpful! I've been using only moisturizer but can see the value of a light, correctly coloured base. Thank you!

[@eleftheriatagouli6148]

We need an updated video on "clothes that age you"pleeeeease!!!

[@cindyscozycove5304]

Great idea!!

[@yifatjovani333]

Such a great idea! It's always good to know how to look chic and put together!

[@martienuttingNYC2UK-MUA]

Yes please from 🇬🇧❤️

[@bobbiwiniecki2704]

Great idea. IMO though, the biggest thing is posture!

[@debraray5786]

YESSSSS!!!

[@annefiedler8502]

Thank you for these reminders! It is so easy to slip back into those old looks!

[@pooh2348]

I would love to see how you would take this daytime makeup and freshen it up to create the nighttime look. Not starting over but just adding to fit to make it more applicable to nighttime lighting.

[@coolied2865]

Hey Judith, Im a Dermatology NP AND make up artist. Most women over 50 apply too much make up. It makes you look older and your trying to hard. THIS make up actually can work at night as well. however, you may, play up your eyes with a med blue eyeliner on top lid and beautiful lushes lashes. eyebrows not too dark. Do not line your bottom lid on the inside, makes your eye look older and more closed. A very light touch with foundation and sponge if you need to even out skin color. No dark lipstick and just a shimmer on your cheeks. Sorry but this lady on other vids puts too much make up on. Remember she is also a beautiful woman where most of us do not look like that, Hope that helped.

[@sedona687]

Excellent video. The key to the success of this video is Dominique's slow pace with application technique. I was relaxed and felt confident I had leaned how to correctly apply my makeup when I finished the video..

[@doxieowner2571]

I haven't worn makeup for decades, but I'm dabbling a bit and trying to learn again. This video was great! I can't get over how much your bad side looks like the 80's!

[@lindseyalbaugh2606]

I am 39 and I love your style! Your makeup tips are spot on and I even use them for my age. I get told all the time that I don't look my age. Thank you for your honesty, real life, and positive vibes!

[@kew04weil72]

I love blush on the apples of the cheeks. It’s so pretty and youthful when done right. I do like these videos, but not when it’s done so drastically wrong on the incorrect side.

[@janinebate1272]

Hello Dominique from the UK! This was fascinating - everything you did with the eye makeup on the "wrong" side is an exact copy of what I've been doing for years! Im going to definitely try and copy what you did on the "good" side, I can see now where Ive been going wrong! Xx

[@johannajetson4540]

Omg this is why I was not feeling good after doing my make up!! I was doing it the wrong way as I’m in my early 40’s the good way works so much better!! Thank you

[@jeanneprefontaine2115]

I wanna let you know I appreciate what you do for us swimming out here and showing us and sharing your talent in your ability. I truly appreciate you.

[@Rosemchambers]

Thanks so much for this video! My eyeshadow application resembles the incorrect way… I’ve not had the courage to take the darker shadow above my crease line but this visual helps me to see the difference- so dramatic!! Thanks- and you are so beautiful, even the incorrect application doesn’t take away your beauty.

[@martydavis325]

Your application of makeup is like a work of art…even on the bad side! I always feel like we need reminders of “how to” and “how not to” apply makeup as we age. Your tips and tricks are awesome…especially the lip liner tip. Great video! PS…yep that Nude Truffle liner and CT Angel Alessandra is a keeper!!

[@angieparton6434]

Not if you have silvery hair and light eyes. That lip color will make you look sick (or worse)

[@CarolinaWren2222]

Wow! What a huge difference. I have to admit that I use some of the old techniques, but watching this is a game changer. I will try the dark shadow instead of the light. My eyes get lost without the lower rim pencil. But yours DID NOT! I will keep you posted. ❤️❤️❤️

[@equalityforall5620]

I just tried one of Dominique's makeup tips. Wow, was this amazing. I put rouge on my upper, outer cheek, just where she says - unlike where the Sephora girls told me to put it - on the apples of my cheeks - and for the first time in my life it looked natural. I'm going to try pore minimizing primer next. I found some at the drugstore today and I'll buy it soon. Thank you Dominique. This was the most helpful makeup tutorial I've ever found. Wish I had found it sooner.

[@mamabear331]

I’m loving your pixie cut! I’ve missed a few episodes so I’m just now seeing it! I’ve been following for a couple years! Love your videos! You’ve taught me so much about makeup, confidence and just beauty tips in general! Thank you sooo much! 😁

[@24dwrb]

I agree, her haircut is stunning ❤😊
