Makeup Mistakes that Age You & How to Fix Them!

[@maggiemay4415]

I'm using youtube for the first time to learn how to deal with a face I no longer recognize. You seem to be well informed and enthusiastic about makeup - something I've never really cared about until this 55th year of life. I wear eyeliner, mascara, drugstore foundation, Bare Minerals powder, and light red lipstick. After watching hours of your videos tonight, I realize just how little I know about my skin, available products, application procedures, and how I'm stuck in the past! I sincerely appreciate your time, knowledge, enthusiasm, and willingness to share with those of us who want to look better for ourselves and our loved ones. I've a long road ahead and will use your tools to help build a better look, Lord willing. Thank you, Ms. Angie.

[@malazforever8222]

I wish I was in your age and live in the 80s :( you are so lucky I'm 17, my generation sucks

[@MilwaukeeWoman]

@@malazforever8222 You can be wonderful no matter when you are born. Good people come from everywhere.

I recently saw a lady in her 60's wearing heavy makeup like this. She had her toe nails and finger nails done in a bright color, and I could tell she put a lot of thought into what she was wearing. Even though it was "over the top," I admired the confidence that she exuded. She didn't care what anyone thought. In her eyes she looked fabulous! I wish everyone could feel that way no matter what age you are.

[@Mathias4Makeup]

What a great idea for a video… I love how unique and descriptive it was! On my channel I work on women over 50 as well and I really enjoy showing my professional makeup artist tips and tricks to get a celebrity red carpet look for women of all ages.

[@Summersway]

I watch a lot of youtube videos about make up for older women, yours is the first one that makes real sense...and I could apply to myself and some of the issues I have with make up! Thank you!

[@QMMPT]

Hi Angie! I just subscribed to your channel. I am not yet in my 50s but will be 36 in June. It is so refreshing to see a KZbinr who is not in their early 20s! I love all beauty videos but I really love being able to relate more. So thank you and I look forward to more of your videos!

[@LittlePoet]

Every time this video pops up I always laugh and think to myself, dear Lord, Angie got my look down perfect! " If that's the look you like, go for it" - one of my favorite quotes! Even with all those mistakes, you are still beautiful Angie.

[@ginrogbel]

Funny story... about makeup and "older" vision.. When I was about 30 years younger, I was visiting my parents & stopped in to see my neighbor who was in her early 60's. She was getting ready to attend a wedding. When she came downstairs she looked gorgeous except for one "little detail" ;) She had mistakenly used her green eyeliner to draw in her eyebrows! I said "Barbara you look great but did you know your eyebrows are green?" She was so happy I stopped by to save the day, as no one else was home to tell her! Now that I am her age I think of that often and smile big!

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

mamabelle Great story! I can see that happening.

[@tinapurplestmomma2560]

mamabelle What a sweet story🤗

[@maggiemconnor]

Oh my...that is hilarious and so sweet you told her. I am one of those women who tell people when food is stuck in your teeth and usually we both have a good laugh over it. Some people, even "friends" do not...Good for you Mamabelle. Love & peace from Hawaii.

[@camabelu1]

Maggie Connor I'm just like you. I'll tell strangers when there is something wrong and have only ever been thanked for it. Nothing feels worse than coming home and seeing a piece of lettuce on my tooth and knowing I ate 2 hours ago.

[@jennyn3446]

Omg I just found you and you are such a breath of fresh air in this KZbin community. Thank you for keeping things simple your make up its so beautiful and natural that I can actually wear! I love how lady like you come across and how well you explain and articulate everything without repeating words such as like, literally and you know a million times over. For those people that say your channel is for older ladies let me tell you you have a 20 something following you! Great great job!

[@tracychase7894]

I've recently been experimenting with different makeup. And I'm always left with the task of trying to fix it when it goes awry without removing everything else. Especially the skin care! Great tutorial :)

[@sharanwilliamson-nosal5508]

Hello Angie! Your site was given to me by my oncologist because I am looking for a way to minimize eye bags as well as a product to encourage growth of eye brows and eyelashes. I have enjoyed seeing your demos - you do a great job! I am 70 years old and chemotherapy left me with bags under my eyes (something I never had before) and my brows and eyelashes are continuing to shed 1-1/2 years after chemo. My oncologist says you have another product like latisse which is less expensive. Can you mention that product? Thank you for your program.

[@lauralou1102]

This might just be the most helpful beauty video on KZbin!!! You are lovely and I am so happy that I found your channel. Thank you :)

[@jodyhurles8024]

Wow what a difference! I am so glad that I found your channel. I am 41 and watching all the 20 year old girls give make up tips is frustrating. You are gorgeous! And you give me hope. Thanks again

[@monicabroniecki7624]

I am 55 years old, and have learnt so much by watching your videos. My eye makeup, in retrospect, has been too much for daytime. So learning to apply a more toned down natural look has really helped. I have also been stuck in a time warp using shimmer eye shadow. Don't have all the same brands in Australia, but the principles still apply. Love your work!!!

[@karenwhitworth9505]

Hi dear lady , your voice , clarity and presentation are all really excellent... thank you for all your work and helpful advice! hope you don’t mind -may I make a very gentle and polite suggestion please? Is it perhaps time to refresh your hairstyle? Those long locks are dragging your face downwards... a style shorter and bouncier would be fresher, younger and more vibrant! Have a look at The power of Pretty ... you’ll be thrilled and it’ll lift your look too to chop off some inches! X

[@melissabrittelle8644]

Hey Angie, you have helped me immensely as far as skin care routine and makeup. I've found that most of these tutorials are for twenty- somethings or sixty- somethings and it's refreshing to find a pretty woman who knows her stuff that is in her fifty's! Thank you so much!

[@karmakomodia]

Omgosh... I giggled at the Over the top makeup job.. Yikes..Kooky Eyebrows.. I know this is an older video.. but the information is spot on and timeless.

[@pukkadink]

Thank you. You've given me hope again. I was beginning to think I could not wear make up as I aged. Now I see just change the tools and follow your tips. Brilliant.

[@jaknarr]

Just one thing - Use black face cloths and then you won't care if they get makeup stains. Since I have an embroidery machine, I embroidered the word 'Makeup' on mine... One of those also goes into the guest room when I have female guests staying with me. Then they don't have to worry that their makeup will foul up my linens.

[@MilwaukeeWoman]

That's very thoughtful. I have an embroidery machine and I will do the same when I get a big enough house for a guest room. 😊

[@ItsWendie]

Angie, I actually preferred the lip colour before just a little less gloss. As we age I find we need to add the colour back in we have lost. Although I understand we all prefer certain looks. xx an irish viewer.

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

I love the lip color as well, just not with the eyeshadow color. Thanks for watching! xo

[@svrreservations7023]

I liked the "before" lip color too! Really pretty shade on you.

[@mommasophanavong1332]

thankyou :D it is hard for all of us ladies who are aging gracefully to change up the makeup routine. I love love how you show how simple to fix the very mainstream idea of makeup that is applied.

[@fayleya3865]

It's great to see the mistakes really exaggerated. Sometimes it's easier to identify what we can do differently when it's clear like this. Thanks as always for your help Angie. Hope you aren't missing your girls too much. Cheers.

[@aprilwalker6033]

Girl..you gonna understand why at 46 I'm just getting back into makeup and how much help I really need..at first I thought you were gorgeous!! If I could get my face to look tht good id be happy! You also looked good after too. See wht you mean but I swear, when first clicked on, thought wow she looks good today!! Haha!! Lord, thought was learning, been practicing!!

[@flanamom]

Great video! As I was watching, I thought "uh oh, I need to evolve with my makeup now that I am 63", especially since some of my makeup "habits" are the same ones I have used for decades (a bit too much gloss, bright under brow highlighting). I look good for my age and have taken great care of my skin for decades (on top of good genes), but what I think might look good when I look in the mirror might not look too swift to the observing eye. Thanks for helping me tastefully develop new makeup styles that are not only more age appropriate, but classy and natural as well!

[@MrMarcela001]

I love this tutorials from Angie, I live in Germany but I speak spanish and I find that she explains everything soooo good, sometimes i get bit irritated with british accent, but she is so clear and exactly targeted to us women over 45 in may case. Congratulations!

[@funkymonkey3189]

I am so guilty of wearing the shiny lip gloss and I recently got a new brush to help me apply my blush more lightly. Angie, I think this is one of the best tutorials I've seen on KZbin! I can't believe I didn't catch it sooner.

[@kayekog]

Really enjoyed this video. I KNOW (God willing) that I've never gone this far off-base in over applying makeup, but this was a good reminder to look at my finished face with a more critical eye. Love all your videos. Thank you so much for the thoughtful care you show in making them.

[@NYVirgo1972]

What I love is that all of these tips are things that can be done in the parking lot of my job- which is honestly where I usually discover the flaws in my makeup.

[@cherries1952]

You startled me for a second till I realized what you were doing! I have to get that makeup remover. I have Lancome's Bi-Facil which isn't good for corrections. Seeing the corrected & uncorrected eye was so helpful. You could really see the difference. Using the Q-tip under the eye is another great tip. Your video is terrific. It's really good for all ages. Thanks for all your help.

[@heatherjolene5497]

This was a really great video, I like that an entire face of makeup doesn't have to be taken off in order to fix mistakes, these are really great tips

[@radikaul]

My mom is turning 45 this year and she literally does all of the not to do makeup mistakes making her look older. Showing her your videos! She needs to learn.

[@fayleya3865]

Oh my goodness so much! As I've gotten older I can't get the beautiful look that I could get in my twenties, so I think "if I just put a bit more makeup on I'll look better...just a bit more ... a bit more ..." needless to say it ends up with me washing my face! Thanks for this Angie.

[@marewarchild180]

What a fantastic tutorial! How brave to post the before and after at the same time. You are lovely and totally rock!

[@deeraines9416]

love these videos. im 51 and have not warn makeup in years and im learning so much. thank you.

[@diannehaas924]

Thank you for this video - I use to wear makeup when I was a late teen and through to my first child - but then only for photos now I am 52 and have 4 children in total - I need to find new techniques to apply eye shadows as it's like putting makeup on a different face lol

[@newlife8610]

This video needs to be on a billboard! I see so many women that wear their make-up like they are still 17, it looks bad and crazy. lol. Love you videos as always.

[@iamlisa63]

Very helpful tips, I am 50 now and always loved makeup but I'm learning how to tweak things and adjust my application so that I don't look like I'm trying too hard , I have to admit I still do some of those things so your tips are very much appreciated!

[@marybilly1978]

Nice application removal tips.I think you look younger without any eye shadow.You have good bone structure which is a plus.keep up the good tips!!

[@staceydee2426]

I am so pleased I found you!! Your tutorials are well done, using common not over the top products, your commentary is spot on for the everyday woman. Thank you...more please

[@mollysmith6055]

Angie, you sweetie! If I wasn't already crying uncontrollably from a bad day at work, I'd be laughing about your video. I'm replying as you are still 'talking' cause my day began sort of this way with having to remove a bunch of 'Mimi' makeup and it ended up making me late for work. The day snowballed to h*ll from there onward. You have NO. IDEA. How timely this video is! Love you and you look beautiful in the 'after' that showed from the beginning of the video. Dang, even with your 'before' I think I'd still rather look that way than the way I actually do. You are beautiful no matter what!

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

Awww, sorry you had a rough day, Molly... I hope your weekend was refreshing and you'll have a better day tomorrow! xo

[@SuperBlondecat]

a bit late but (((((((((((((((((((Hugs)))))))))))))))))

[@MysticPrairie]

I am SO HAPPY I found you! Finally, a gorgeous mature woman to help me with my makeup lol. I've been a "hot" ( and sweaty) mess. Trying to follow a 16 yr old do a makeup tutorial left me looking like a 47 yr old trying to hard! I LOVE YOU and cannot wait to explore all your videos and start looking gorgeous in the process! I almost resorted to the mascara only look I was getting so frustrated! I make every single mistake you mentioned in this video lol Ps It's also so nice not to hear the f$&k word in every sentence because apparently it's the thing these days 🙄🙃 CHEERS 💕💓💕💓💕💓💕💓💕💓💕💓💕💓💕

[@grnidwitch]

This was a great video. Nice to know that mistakes can be corrected well, withOUT having to redo your whole face. Oh and instead of spraying the setting spray, try one or two spritzes on a small powder puff and just tap over your face. It takes down the powder nicely.

[@LyndaCoulson64]

I love your tutorials they are very helpful as I am 50 years old and since I developed the maturer skin, I hardly ever wear make up for fear of it settling in my lines. A little tip for you though, I find using a lip liner (matt) in pretty much the same colour as your lipstick helps to not only stop the bleeding but also to make the lips look a little more fuller. That is what I do when I wear make up. Again I also stick with the matt lipstick because I feel the gloss just accentuates the lip creases. Keep up the good advice tutorials as I love them.

[@madaboutcrochet]

What a great tutorial! I especially like the lip pencil suggestion and rubbing it out so you have no harsh lines.

[@designed4liberty]

Great tips, Angie! Thank you for showing the products up close. What a relief to know other women my age believe they are worth the effort it takes to look polished.

[@lsaz8524]

You crack me up :) I love that you can laugh at our aging flaws and work with makeup to help enhance our beauty at any age...thank you have a great weekend

[@pamelachappell1089]

You crack me up! Before I realized that you were opening your video with the 'mistakes', I thought, "Wow! That is definitely a new look for Angie!!" Great job, as always. :)

[@sandyshorewalker5364]

I am going to have to try the Elf setting spray. Good tips in your video. I see the dramatic difference and video demonstrates how the better product, colour choice and lighter handed application does give a more youthful appearance. Still your pretty either way but I like the more subtle make up. Thumbs up!

[@SunnyDazeNZ]

Ooooh who is that gal? Oh it's Angie! I much prefer the natural too but we have all been guilty of over doing it at some stage due to eye sight issues or maybe just sticking to a look we had when younger...... Will keep these tips in mind.....the differences are amazing, thanks for the reminder, a fun video! xx

[@foxiefair123]

Yeah, when I was younger, like 47. 😂😂 50 is a whole nother story.

[@jillf24]

That was fun to watch, I am always fixing the outer corner of my eyes. I know I can tape the outer lids and I would not have to constantly "clean up the sides" but I truly forget to do it. xo

[@lillianfranco9607]

Love all your tips. They are very helpful. I am a young 62, take care of myself and my skin and look forard to all you tips. Thanks

[@marthabass3383]

This was great! Hate having to start over. The demo, talking through, and helpful hints were great. I am over 60 and need all the helpful hints I can get

[@misspitters2766]

I love the 2nd look, more toned down and looks younger,great job! Thanks for the tips you give. :)

[@allycinza]

What a great video! You so nice to show us exactly how you will do it. Those are the type of things that just making a video talking about it it would not be so helpful like the hands on experience you give to us. Thank you so much for going into detail like this. You make awesome videos! Love your channel because I know when i take the time to click and watch i know i will not get just superficial info. You rock! 😉

[@maryanntowndsend1432]

I looked exactly like the before today. I will have to work harder to stay current. Thanks, Angie.❤️

[@marlakayeregnier8416]

thank you, I didn't know what was happening to my eyes and face. Now I don't feel all alone. You look beautiful. wonderful to have a friend online to tutor me.

[@thegypsysden]

I love all your videos. When this one started I was cracking up and thinking, how is she recording this and keeping a straight face. I appreciate all your tips and tricks. Thanks!

[@jmmacb03]

I often check my make-up at a big window. Natural light is sooo important and then often just use a dry towel over my face if I have overdone it-to tone it all down a bit-esp. too much blush or powder bronzer and even to wipe off wrong lipstick colour. (Towels are cheap to wash!) P.S.- I almost passed on your post because of your "don't", overdone make-up in your first shot! I suggest you immediately say that this is a "Don't". Thanks from Toronto ☮

[@Emm.Emm.]

I had you opened in another tab, with no sound because the headphones were plugged in. I almost fell off the couch when I clicked over here LOL awesome video!!

[@TerriblePerfection]

Fabulous! Less is truly more. You look great and have a good eye for what works for you. I happen to agree with everything you did.

[@dianeliggio9094]

Great tutorial showing flaws and correcting them. I'd like to see her make up an older woman with sagging skin and more fine lines to see how she would make her up to look radiant. Thanks

[@marciaboc8672]

LOL!! At the first moment I saw you I said : what is happen with Angie and her make up?? !! Thanks God is a demonstration !! Very good one!! Love it!! XOXO

[@shannondawn44]

These were great tips . I have "over applied" certain products before , especially if I am in a hurry , so I know these pointers will come in handy . When the video first started , I was a bit surprised to see you will so much make up on , because you usually wear a more natural look , but it was a great way to demonstrate how to correct make up issues . I really like how you mention certain products aging us , and so on , because I'm almost 50 , and any tips on how to wear make up without it "aging" us is great . Thanks so much for posting this :)

[@hollytenbrook]

I know this is an older video (2014), but I just stumbled upon your channel & have been loving your videos! This was the first one I watched and in the first 30 seconds before you explained that the makeup you had on was wrong, I thought this is not the beauty vlogger I want advice from! HA! Anyway, I'm SO glad I found an over 40 beauty vlogger, I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. cheers! :)

[@joannaledbetter6509]

holten ...I have been watching Angie's channel for a while and I agree with you. At first I thought OH MY WORD what did she do?? Then .... LOL .... she said see how overly done my makeup is?? I did read the title but my mind went blank at first. LOL

[@tinapurplestmomma2560]

holten I was thinking the same thing!!!😄

[@blackraven4756]

I was having a hot and flashy video binge and this came up. I was shocked, thinking «what on earth has she done!?! She looks like a clown!» Then I realised it was on purpose. Lol You are my makeup guru, I just love how thorough you are in your tests and I have learned so much from watching you. You ended up gorgeous as usual!

[@MisKandi]

Great video, Angie. So many are about how to put the makeup on. We need more on how to take it off when we mess up.

[@karenwalker2336]

Hi Angie! What a great idea for a tutorial. I've been subscribed to your channel for a couple of months now and have to say you are one of my favorites! Thank you for all of your wonderful videos and have a nice weekend.

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

Thank you, Karen!

[@cherylhaynes9462]

Thought this was great! I am 55 and have been using alot of your tips. Thanks for doing these.

[@MontanaSkyBlue]

Great tutorial. - the demo really shows the difference it makes to use a light hand with out make-up. TY!

[@elizabethpatterson7600]

I paused at the beginning to see if I could "spy" all your mistakes. I totally missed the overly dark eyebrows! It makes a huge difference! So tricky - must be filled in, but not too much. Thanks for the make-under tips.

[@cathyolague9408]

I really enjoyed this. Lol. So funny when you run into women with overkill on, but I love how you gently suggest a better version of their routine. Great video!

[@kimberlyj.1891]

Great demo Angie! It is amazing how a few little tweaks can change the whole look. You look awesome. Btw....I just got the It Celebration Foundation, I really like it. Have a great weekend : )

[@mercedesyunquevillaseca3589]

I just discovered you today and I liked your video so much that I immediately subscribed. Thanks for your tips ! I already knew that glittery and frosted eyeshadow were an absolute no no for mature faces but for the rest I learned a lot. Greetings from Madrid, Spain !! 😘😘

[@Llphi]

Excellent video! I love Malt to clean up overdone eyeshadow, it's great for neutralizing any color and evening out the lids. Thanks for the tips.

[@glenniejunkin1816]

Whoa...you really scared me at first, Angie!!!! Thanks for the tips, as usual. You are gorgeous!

[@jhatch290]

such an interesting and original video! totally enjoyed that!

[@KellyMcKelly]

Veey helpful video. I've notied myself with the draggy saggy eyeshadow. Quite a difference when it is removed.Your eye looks so much better! lol

[@joyclarke8942]

I'm always learning new things from you.Today it was that Elf makes a setting spray. Fantastic! Thanks Angie!

[@Jezebel1115]

Angie, That looked like fun putting on excess makeup and figuring out how to make a subtle transition!!! Great video very helpful. Thanks!!!

[@GingerShofner]

One of the best videos I have seen for 40+ make-up. Great job!

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

Thanks so much!

[@PattynCats]

reading the comments below, and when you mentioned our eyesight starts to go when we get older, I couldn't help thinking of the character Mimi on the Drew Carey Show. Such a heavy hand with makeup! Less is more. Same with perfume, women overdo it because their nose gets used to and they think the scent doesn't last. less is more with perfume as well.

[@elizabethbradshaw7763]

Hi Angie - This was great. I had to look in the mirror to make sure I didn't do any of these makeup aging things this morning myself! :)

[@theclosetshopper]

HAHAHA. Omg. I thought, she done lost her mind when your video first came up. I love that you did this video and I'm going to share it with ALL my girlfriends. I was too powdered yesterday with the it Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores HD Powder. Everytime I saw my reflection I was startled. Now I know how to fix it. Thank you!! xo, Tracy

[@bambadalam91]

Wow! You are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing. I just turned 42 today and I am starting a morning and night regimen. Your videos are very helpful.

[@jaynelook4323]

Thank you for sharing these tips. I've learned so much from watching your tutorial videos. I wish I lived next door to you so I could really get the 411 on how to work with the fine lines on my face instead of fighting against them.

[@pjhansen9060]

Great video! I am 44 and I cannot go shiny or real matte unless it is subtle.and in small doses on my face. Sometimes my mirror does not show how strong my makeup is and looking in a mirror with natural light from a window really gives me a better reality of what my face looks like and what others might see. Hope that makes sense...lol.

[@pep916]

Heavy handed is definitely me! I always seem to go overboard with my brow makeup. Thanks again for a great video!

[@Gregsgrl21]

I've made the dreaded mistake of blending shadows down to far and I hate that makes my eyes droop terribly! Great great tips thanks for sharing

[@chrisann144]

I have always said less is more!!!!! Great Video Angie!!!!!! As we get older what we wore when we were twenty we can't do when we are forty +

[@jacirogers9109]

So glad to find tutorials for us over 50 gals. Thank you

[@naturallook4ever]

Oh my goodness, I was scared when you first came on - I thought OMG Angie What Happened to you, what's with all that e/s & m/u! Lol I was so relieved it was just a demonstration!!' Great Video, thanks for sharing.

[@jsarahi2635]

Hi I'm 22 and well I loved your video because it is useful for all ages 😊 and because you gave me great tips that I can teach my mother who is 46 and hates makeup because she doesn't know how to apply it! I'll definitely be subscribing thanks for the awesome advice!

[@reefprayerresin]

Oh, thank god you knew how bad your makeup was! Your cheeks just hit me in the face! Lol... I was so relieved when you said you're wearing lots of mistakes! Lol. This is the first video I've seen of yours, and it's very practical. Thankyou. You have some great advice here. - And your taste is much better than I thought at first! Lol. I'm going to check out some of your other videos now....
