Firstly, it’s very important to nourish and hydrate the skin, Mary uses a generous amount of the CHANEL Sublimage La Crème, £245 (bit.ly/1WGfKaL) and massages it into the skin, tapping into the eye area too.
Moving onto the eye cream, to help the tissue around the eye, Mary uses the CHANEL Sublimage Eye, £125 (bit.ly/1PiDhXj) leaving it to soak in if possible.
Mary explains that SPF is an incredibly important step in the makeup routine and she uses the CHANEL CC Cream Complete Correction SPF50 in 10, £44 (buff.ly/28n5I21) to give coverage, to add radiance and protect the skin at the same time.
To add a bit more coverage, Mary uses the new CHANEL Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation in 22, £60 (bit.ly/1U8K9uK) and taps it into the skin to create a flawless base.
For lip nourishment, Mary uses the CHANEL Hydra Beauty Nourishing Lip Care, £50 (bit.ly/1YfYwjM) which hydrates and creates a soft and supple base.
Next, to lift the entire eye area, Mary uses the CHANEL Correcteur Perfection Long Lasting Concealer in 10, £27 (buff.ly/1ZANtA8) and sweeps it under the eyes, tapping the product in. This fine concealer sinks well into the skin and blends into the fine lines without exaggerating them.
To add life and texture once you’ve got a uniform looking skin, Mary uses the CHANEL Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Powder SPF 15 /PA++ in 10, £39 (bit.ly/1PiDqu0) to get rid of the shine around Georgina’s nose. She knocks back the shine using the CHANEL Blush Brush No.4, £33 (buff.ly/1sxalWS) and blends into the skin using the CHANEL Blending Foundation Brush No.7, £34 (buff.ly/1sx9Uvz).
To add a tiny bit more warmth and colour to the skin, Mary then uses the CHANEL Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Rose Initiale, £31 (bit.ly/1PiDwBL) with a gentle touch on the cheek.
Next for a subtle eye, Mary uses the CHANEL Les 4 Ombres Multi-effects Quadra Eyeshadow in Tissé Vendome, £40 (buff.ly/1tjU8F0) with the CHANEL Concealer Brush No.10, £21 (buff.ly/219XpB7). She takes the pale, apricot shade under the brow and takes the taupe shade across the eyelid with the brush and blends out with her finger to add a soft hint of colour. Mary then uses the darker shade in the palette to lift the outside corner of the eye.
To finish the eye, Mary uses the Dimensions de CHANEL Mascara in Brown, £25 (buff.ly/22UX3zO), wiping off the excess off the brush to make sure there’s no clotting.
For subtly enhanced lips Mary then swipes the CHANEL Rouge Coco Stylo in Script, £26 (buff.ly/24CqpCz) across the lips, just like you would a lip balm.
Onto brows and Mary uses the CHANEL Crayon Sourcils Sculpting Eyebrow Pencil in Brun Naturel, £19 (buff.ly/1ZANZOS) and gently brushes then through to add slight but not obvious definition.
Finally. to set the eye area, Mary uses the CHANEL Foundation Brush No.6, £30 (buff.ly/1Ui4nU5) with the CHANEL Poudres Universelle Natural Finish Pressed Powder in 20, £33 (buff.ly/1tjUQSH). She then takes it round the nose and across the forehead to knock back shine and perfect the look.\

The most beautiful woman. The most beautiful makeup artist.

[@nikkid4890]

LOVE your makeup tips too @ Wayne Goss. You are a legend

[@janefaceinthewind6260]

Aren't they both stunning?? You are brilliant by the way

[@zensasmr]

Love that you watched Princess Di's makeup and this one. Very refreshing to see your makeup artist fav's💜

[@roztrappett2998]

😅

[@justme-fe2sf]

if all women were as lucky to look like Georgina in her 50s. She is stunning

[@eleanorlondon1961]

She is isn't she ❤️

[@tkmaz]

TO the young ones watching, skin care from 16 IS essential as Mary said. I'm 40 & I'm mistaken for my early 30's often. Why? Well, it was the 90's so "great" skincare that was affordable wasn't something I was educated on...but I wore makeup..ev.er.y.day. It was basically a sunscreen & I live in a very sunny, warm, climate. My neck & hands show their age...my face, not at all. So take care of that skin!!

[@eizhowa]

I think she suits her brows. Reminds me of Faye Dunaway in the 70s.

[@luvtunes09]

Who questions Mary Greenwells use of “too much product “ ??? it’s her makeup style and nobody can question that and she’s created her own technique her way and is one of the best makeup artists on the planet !! It’s her artwork !! I absolutely love her work and I love her way too -So much love for you Mary your amazing 💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@underscoretor]

9:35 is the attitude I want in life. Tools are tools. Use them how you want. I love this woman's style.

[@akaPrinzessin]

Im 21 but I just love watching Mary work! Georgina is stunning! Beautiful tutorial :)

[@nonesuchahh]

I would love to see Mary targeting acne prone skin. Not just a few pimples but acne. Would love to hear advices

[@orchideasflower]

Me too

[@lexibecker278]

hm didn't hear the same

[@amberkry955]

Lisa Eldridge has a great tutorial on acne covering with a model who has actual acne.

[@amberkry955]

She interned for mary so I'm sure it'll be similar to what mary would do. I actually really admire lisa. She's amazing. Her technique is quite different from Mary, much less emphasis on product and more on the skin and features

[@michelleverdugo]

amazing how that little bit of blush made such a big difference. the placement seems to be key. I learn something new from every video!

[@almoors1]

These videos actually contain instruction and explanation - something that is severely lacking in many makeup videos. One does not simply watch a Mary Greenwell video, one truly learns from it and I am so grateful that Mary is generously sharing her vast knowledge and immense skill with us all. Genius! ❤️❤️

[@Sweetxs]

It also helps that Georgina is absolutely stunning!

[@lepetitenellie]

Wow wow wow! Georgina is so beautiful! The other commenters were right. She was beautiful before the makeup but the way Mary applied the makeup just enhanced her without looking like makeup. Stunning. Mary is so brilliant.

[@damariswarkentin4552]

O my goodness for a year now i always wondered why my eyes looked so small after putting concealer up to the lash line and now mary explained it so simply and it makes sense now 🙄🤣

[@KiomiMiaSpicer]

Mary you are amazing as always. Your model is gorgeous both before and after - just more refined. Get The Gloss, thank you for this series... I beg that you continue to add more x

[@eaudebeauty]

Mary is the best!! I really appreciate the detailed explanations and the close up camera work - excellent job, Get the Gloss!

[@abireeves5809]

These videos relax me so much! I would love to see Mary do a tutorial targeted for bad dark circles xx

[@mollyringwerm9224]

Your candor is so incredibly refreshing and joyful, Mary. Loved this video :}

[@micapetey]

So excited to see this tutorial. Queen Mary has done it once again (of course, it doesn't hurt that her gorgeous model looks like a young Lee Radizwell!) I would love to see Mary do her own makeup as she always looks amazing. Kiss, kiss and many thanks for this!

[@jaxt7901]

Yes, I would like to see Mary do her own makeup also. ;)

[@Juleswoodfield]

Mary, this was a beautiful application. I tried it on myself today and loved it! thank you!!

[@OffgridLivingPortugal]

Love to see Mary working 😍 She's SO talented, incredible amazing!

[@allieb6671]

Mary is a genius ! love this make up look and learnt so much thank u xx

[@lorirees4248]

Beautiful makeup. Mary Greenwell is a joy to watch.

Lovely, lovely daytime makeup! Mary, fantastic as always! And the model is gorgeous. Now, let's wait for the nightime makeup video.

[@julianamerz9493]

Great tip on concealer placement. Makes total sense!

[@bodyjewels]

OMG Mary. I adore you....thank you for these wonderful videos. she is stunning. I have totally changed my makeup since watching you..

[@nushkita11]

I LOVE MARY! I love watching her working! Amazing talent!

[@LabNYorkie]

Seeing the notification that there's a new Mary Greenwell tutorial makes me so happy. I learn something new each time.

[@PineGeri]

Loved this! I hadn’t any idea Chanel made such a lovely CC cream! I ordered it just now! Love the simplicity!

[@Spark1221]

Mary is my favourite artist, she's so genuine, gorgeous + inspiring! Would love to see her make up someone with a light skin tone, Chanel B20, and dark brown eyes.

[@emmalouiseford4345]

Wonderful demonstration. I love you Mary. Your model looked beautiful. So do you, your pink hair really makes your eye colour stand out! 💖

[@bongsu551]

Wonderful work as always, Mary!

[@flores2629]

I agree! This is a very simple to do, every day beautifully subtle look... Mary, I am loving your pink hair and dark eye makeup 💖

[@sovrappensiero1]

I enjoyed this this lovely tutorial! Thank you for your advice regarding use shimmer eyeshadows on mature skin, and for demonstrating them on Georgina.

[@jodywhitevandeklippe475]

Brilliant video! Thank you Mary!

[@murdermygymsox]

I love the way Mary says "area", how she gives a little hint of a "w" in her pronunciation. It's the icing on the cake of her charming personality :)

[@travellingfemme]

I'm loving all these new videos!!!

[@RockPaperBeautiful]

Mary Greenwell is fabulous. Love her blending techniques and love that she uses her fingers so well.

[@ConnieFaye]

I absolutely love your pink hair Mary!

[@tizb5178]

Me too!

[@thaoanh8300]

I was so scared after cc cream and foundation. But after Mary blending the model face, the brush just did a magic work. So impressed by her technique!

[@clarity1984]

Georgina's beauty is breath-taking! This is an amazing look.

[@maacrl]

I'm 52 and like to play with makeup, but she mentioned different things i didnt know, like placement of powder and concealer, too much contouring is aging, shimmers are becoming, i tried it and she is right. Good solid information that one can use, thank you so much Mary.

[@Miumiu0404]

Amazing how Mary was able to blend in the cc cream, foundation and powder. Her skin looked absolutely beautiful.

[@RubyTwilite]

Bravo Mary! Whew! What a breath of fresh air you are! I DON'T want to contour or microblade my face. i just want to look fresh and beautiful. Thank you!

[@TheManuValente]

Absolutely gorgeous! The perfect look I was looking for everyday makeup. Love yours tutorials, love Chanel. And Georgina is a beautiful women, very chic, very classy.

[@BettyJBrown-yv8uf]

I want more from Mary on makeup for women over 50. Mary, you are the most incredible artist ever! Your advice is amazing!

[@user-vn1ep5od6v]

This is a utterly beautiful make up by one of the best makeup artists 😊

[@manuelaherrera8921]

Mary is just the best teacher ever!! Georgina is super elegant

[@jacalynsqueglia7352]

Beautiful model. Beautiful video. I love Chanel. Thank you for this video!

[@yelb9135]

Faye Dunaway/Lindsay Duncan! Amazing work by Queen Mary, as per.

[@macskak]

stunning model, wow! and beautiful makeup

[@thanhxuan7349]

I love love the way her vibe and the way she thinks 😍😍

[@athena12373]

Beautiful day look!

[@corentinroblet588]

I'm in love with her work

[@cooljuicyfruit]

As usual magical, I want to know how you would approach the skincare for oily skin. If I used rich products it would be a mess but I still want my skin to look real and not flat and matte after makeup application.

[@nayamarievelazco8769]

Her skin looks so hydrated and beautiful ❤

[@ashofangels]

Pretty model!! Good job Mary👍🏼😘

[@vonniebiggs]

Mary looks so good with pink hair! Makes me miss mine! 💘

[@ranunkel1]

OMG this woman is beautiful! Looks like Michelle Pfeiffer! Amazing advice, thank you Mary!

[@clarity1984]

Yes! She reminded me of somebody but couldn't pinpoint who. Definitely Michelle Pfeiffer!

[@RubyTwilite]

Jackie Kennedy or Lee Radziwill.

[@jazzyfizzle7975]

Ruby Twilite Jackie Kennedy for sure!!!!!

[@emilyburrows416]

I love the pink hair it's fab!

[@viskasjusugroziui5167]

this lady 50s??? shes so beautiful! :)

[@charlienonya7016]

she's so cute and cooky! i love her.

[@katiethomas5889]

I love how she explains as she goes, and then doesn't over do it. Just right!

[@shinjioh8200]

that cc cream is fantastic!

[@monikabroskova1689]

my biggest relax is to watch Mary work :-)

[@theaminswey9733]

Mary that pink hair color is great

[@dawnkeckley7502]

She is stunning!

[@karinav4798]

Thank you Mary! You are unique cx

[@sanjam.]

Thank god that somebody remember us over 45 ! Every tip is great and thank you for it! Please give us some advise for comuflage pores with foundation or somthing... Greetings from Serbia!

[@ammaradiaga09]

Love the natural look & I want to compliment Mary, she also looks stunning 😍💋

[@clairekurdelak2913]

The pink hair has been followed by her wonderful shiny platinum. It was fun!

[@missthelife]

Mary! What a genius you are!

[@kasia4258]

I can't take my eyes off Georgina! She's just so precious and sophisticated. True beauty!

[@scarletletter2847]

Love this look.

[@amberspecter]

5:24 I just love her giving that voice to her comments

[@jdishmael001]

Mary is brilliant.

[@MtnSnowflake]

Your pink hair is just gorgeous on you 💞

[@ciarakennedy1168]

“It’s called concealer. WHATEVER!” I love you so much Mary 🤣🙌🏼

[@GirlRoundTheWorld]

Just lovely

[@samreenkhan4290]

Mary, I love your new image - lovely change :)

[@LiLyMaTy]

I would love to see how you can cover acne scars but still looking natural

[@sonyababcock9719]

I absolutely love Mary and love watching her videos. She makes makeup look natural and glowing. I Dont get how she uses too much? In my opinion, I see her working her magic by blending it in and making the makeup look like the person isnt wearing any. Mary knows what she's doing. She wouldnt be a professional makeup artist if she didnt.

[@karargyri]

Mary you are a legend!

[@RH-bv8ud]

Do a makeup tutorial on how to cover extremely dark circles (light skintone)

[@paulamanningtsougranis8324]

Love your pink hair!

[@shaynarose4254]

STUNNING

[@sharonburr6973]

Ok my new favourite makeup artist. Finally makeup ( albeit on a gorgeous model to start with ) for real people that’s doable.

[@mdc5432]

Bravo!

[@sonamsingh5874]

i love watching ur technique...kindly share cosmetic brand which u use

[@ClaudiaAndras13]

Soooo beautiful!

[@CBEEBLE]

Mary has the most beautiful blue eyes 😍

[@nayamarievelazco8769]

I want this all!

[@janemackrell3733]

Mary is so consistent, no matter which company’s products she is using. But she also has lots of useful, honest tips. I have just realised that all of my lipsticks, blushers and eyeshadows are by Chanel. Someone in the press once said that Chanel is so innovative with colours - they are always contemporary.

[@anahutcheson6579]

Brilliant👏

[@nonesuchahh]

Amazing

[@jennifersouthin7764]

Brilliant,but would love to see how you would jazz it up for evenings.

[@RevesAbsurdes1]

Why do people are complaining about how you do things ? I don't know, I'm just watching with admiration, and see that everytime it gets perfect at the end.

[@angie-4514]

this is how the brightness should be in beauty videos!! i'm so sick of having to tilt my laptop screen way down because youtubers turn their brightness to the unrecognizable level

[@cynthiasolomon885]

So beautiful without any make up - gorgeous

[@sheryllinard9204]

I think the woman getting her makeup done looks like a young version of Lee Radziwill, Jackie Kennedy's younger sister.

[@TheAmarylis4]

Beautiful model
