HOW I KEEP EYE MAKEUP ON MY EYES AND NOT MY FACE!

[@yellowbird500]

I enjoy the Italian conversations. I consider them a bonus to your videos, giving me an opportunity to expand on my traveler’s Italian.

[@brendaguerin5423]

I feel the same way. !!~😊

[@Wendy-i1i]

Thanks Nicki I really enjoyed ❤the makeup tutorial it was fantastic 😊cheers from 🇦🇺

[@helenross7751]

Thanks Nicki , enjoyed this and learnt some as well ❤

[@arimax888]

oh no, your conversations in italian are actually the highlight of your vlogs! I learned so much from watching you guys and Luca & Sara. I like your make up & cooking videos too. Like they say, Variety is the very spice of life! It's okay to switch things up till you find what works for this channel. You don't need to change anything and I look forward to Carlo's DIY tips

[@sandradalessandro2935]

Just. That little bit of makeup. N boom you look gorgeous. Refreshed. We all need a best friend who is a makeup artist. Like you!! 🌸🌸🌸💗💐💗💐🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

[@stacyritter9261]

Love the tips!!! Love the bonus channel!!

[@carolyngoddard3017]

This was fun. I actually love your back and forth with Carlo in both languages. I love hearing you both speak English and Italian.

[@yvanapantino273]

Nikki I love Carlo speaking in Italian. It adds texture and a nuance to your videos which set you guys apart from the crowd. I hope you will just continue to keep it natural between the 2 of you.

[@Laura-g1c1l]

What a breath of fresh air you are!! Such a wonderful and welcome change from watching so many make up influencers on youtube, who sit there with a tub of gifted, very expensive products and make themselves look grand in 12 "easy" steps. Once I calculated it all up and the woman I had been viewing had used close to $400 of products and had yet to put mascara or lipstick on! This was fun, to see a normal woman, with a normal make up kit:). Well done!!

[@mariafagilde-roel7890]

It would be great if Carlo does his part of the video showing his skills as a handy man, he knows how to build anything, he's so good at anything and always with such a relaxing and positive vibe! I love Italian language, never mind reading the translations! 😊

[@yelyak]

I enjoy listening to the Italian and reading the English in subtitles. It may be more work for you and I can appreciate that, but in case you never hear the comment the other way around I wanted to add it. 🙂

[@jacquelinewillems981]

I love that you and Carlos talk a bilingual conversation back and forth! I always turn on captions. Sometimes, I watch the videos a few times. I'm learning Italian! ❤

[@joyeddlemon798]

I love to hear Carlo speak English. He’s better at it than he thinks. The more he speaks English, the more confident he will become.

[@karenmiller5206]

Great video on how to....always a pleasure..thanks!!❤

[@barbaranielsen2888]

Thank you so much! I am 70? Can you tell us what tricks, techniques, tips for older women? Please?

[@Echoesofwhispers]

I am not her, but my research has shown less is more. Nothing cakey, light pinks on the apple of cheek and a bit on eyelids, a soft fill in on the brow, and a tubing mascara should be all we are using. We must use spf above all else and quality skincare is key. And remember, you are always lovely if you have love in your heart 🤗🤗.

[@barbaranielsen2888]

@@Echoesofwhispers thank you so much!

[@LazyDaisyDay88]

Quite possibly the most relatable make up tutorial I've ever watched. Thank you!

[@rebekah3483]

I 100% trust you on this as it not only was your profession but bc you're so honest about ALL your videos and therefore I find myself trusting you, SO THANK YOU!

[@joannebolton1]

You have cheered me up no end! I also use bits of makeup that are ancient! But still fine... and no lid... that just made my life complete thank you for being so real xx

[@lisamacdonald9375]

I have to say, when you clipped your bangs back and revealed your beautiful face, you looked a triumph! So pretty!

[@joycemajor2555]

I’ve always been a make up minimalist & lucky to have a dark complexion being Sicilian decent on both sides. You gave me some good ideas to try. I love how you do your makeup, so pretty.

[@Jessyyy08]

I love this! I’d love to see more makeup tutorials from you ☺️

[@azer6566]

Yay I love your makeup tutorials!!! Please do more. So relaxing so wonderful and a lot of great ideas❤❤

[@jillianrh9996]

This was so interesting! I loved learning about the make up and seeing the brushes you use too.

[@diane7925]

Love the mix of Italian & English languages spoken & happy to watch whatever you want to show us 😊

[@nmsperry]

I love these videos with just you talking 😍 It’s very calming and ASMRy for me. And love the beauty tips, everyday or otherwise 🫶

[@helenpowell1394]

Im thoroughly enjoying your vlogs! Its refreshing to hear someone whos in touchC with reality. You come across as geniunley friendly.

[@fionamaffeo3838]

Haha love that you have make up that long… having worked for Mac for 24 years I still have my vanilla pigment , still full to the brim and I use often…. Don’t try this at home kids 😂😂 😂 and like you I love The ordinary and the Mac mascara… love it , especially as a contact user it can be removed with water, but it lasts really well. Especially as I am living in hot 🥵 Dubai. Lovely to have a true make up artist speak about make up and the name of the paint pot is vintage selection… great colour. Sending you love health and happiness from Dubai ❤

[@fatimaa57946]

The makeup tips are really cool! When you can, give tips on daily skin care 🥰 It might be tiring for you to translate conversations with Carlos but it's really nice to be able to hear the language of both of you with the charm of each one! 🥰

[@kathylazenby270]

Thank you, Nicki! I love this mid-week channel! Thank you for the makeup demo! It helps me to see what you use and how you apply it. Using your techniques you have taught us in the past, I now do my mother-in-law's makeup just to give her a little emotional lift. She is almost 90 but still loves looking pretty. Your hair looks gorgeous and you look beautiful with even no makeup! I appreciate you so much and you make my days more fun! We are waiting on hurricane Helene to arrive here later today. Have a great week! ❤ Kathy in south Alabama

[@nadinhadorn2209]

Love this! Would love to see your skin care / skin routine, too! 😃

I have been loving this channel! Thanks for being you and sharing your life with the world.

I'd love any tips for eyebrows!.....for those of us who overplucked in the 70's 😆....I've tried numerous eyebrow products and always seem to go back to my Maybelline pencil which is just ok

[@loloholmes2793]

@barber0611 I agree! I over-plucked in the late 90s, added with hypothyroidism, my brows are gone. I've tried everything from stencils to pencils & I just don't have the patience.

What do you do for your eyebrows please Nicki x

[@cherylguthrie9226]

@@loloholmes2793 I am the same, overplucked & androgenic alopecia - so no chance for me. Considering tattoos.

[@aussiebushgirl1829]

Such an informative video Nicki - thank you so much! 🙏 I love the laidback formula and chit-chat context here on Aperitivo 50, and am looking forward to Carlo embracing this space too. He is extremely skilled in so many things, that I’m sure he’ll bring his achievements to the table to create the perfect ‘marriage’ alongside your own. 🙌

[@christineveith3886]

I love when you and Carlo chat in Italian. It's a more realistic and intimate exchange.

[@TheQuébecCityDiaries]

This is so helpful as someone who has struggled with changes to my eyes due to ageing. I especially appreciate the suggestion of using a primer around my eyes, something I’ve never considered in such a sensitive area. I love how you keep your look natural yet very beautiful. Thank you so much for these tips! Catherine.

[@lisajensen1843]

I enjoy the Italian conversations too. I don’t mind the subtitles! I wonder though if that’s more work for you! You look fabulous! I love the natural looking makeup😊

[@gemini2261]

Brilliant, love to see more on makeup. Love to see one on brushes etc that you use and the cleaning process 👌🏾

[@serenamitchell7840]

I think this is that place, for a convo in full Italian, you guys are such generous souls, seriously, I don’t wear makeup but now I know if I ever do what to try. Allowing us to see you as you are is very inspirational, I know it’s difficult to let yourselves be seen because the criticism comes from everywhere and feels personal because you are sharing yourself, it’s why so many of us are afraid to put ourselves out there, but the truth is you can’t please everyone all the time. You made this channel for you and so you should do the conversations in full Italian, that’s what you want to do!

[@TheVelvetVine]

This was SO helpful, Nick! Thank you for sharing your expertise and knowledge with us. I literally took notes. Lol. I've searched all over KZbin for this kind of information, but couldn't find quite what I was looking for, as they tend to be influencers who use 20 products every day and spend more time than I want to devote to makeup. I really wanted a simple and straightforward approach to just give me a boost as I live my life ... and help me not look exhausted by 10am on a Tuesday! 40's makeup has been a challenge. I always love your fresh and vibrant makeup looks and this was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!!!

[@philyra2]

Lovely video as always, Nicki! Your makeup tips are spot on for me since I am close to your age and coloring (red hair, pale skin.) I love how little you actually use; you look so fresh and natural. I’ve pared down my own makeup regimen following your example and I like the results. I look younger and fresher with less! Who knew?!

[@aussiebushgirl1829]

You won’t regret it! I believe that less is definitely more.

[@lottenliden2862]

Both of your favorite mascaras are tubing mascaras that requires warm water above a certain degree to make the polymers, that covers each lash, to melt. As I understand it, all mascaras that say they can be removed with warm water, are tubing mascaras. As I've become a mascara smudger the last 5 years, tubing is all I ca´n use, if I don't feel like looking like a raccoon by lunch time. I can also recommend the MAC paint pot Painterly. I use it basically as a primer; nothing budges that is put on top of it. If you want something even more "clingy", the Lisa Eldridge latest liquid silky Eye paints. I've never had an eye shadow that stays put the way this does, And everything you put above it as well.

[@mareekelly1579]

You are so clever. Being able to have a conversation in your second language, without you misunderstanding is fantastic. Don’t worry about the subtitles, as we love knowing what you both are discussing.

It's really funny because sometimes during these videos when you are talking directly to the camera close up, I find myself answering you or commenting like we are in the same room. Makes me laugh each and every time. Love the videos...thanks😂

[@patriciatoland5485]

I really liked this topic. As a woman in her fifties I am finding my skin has changed and what used to work for make up no longer does the trick. I do occasionally wear a light liquid foundation. A video on makeup tips for the aging face and neck would be great. I have enjoyed the videos with you and Carlos and the mix of English and Italian works.

[@Carolina-nn6ye]

Wow, thank you for this. I can't wait to try the serums. I didn't know to put on mascara first, I put it on last. 🤣 I enjoy hearing both languages. I'm Argentinian (born there, immigrated to U.S. in 1970, am U.S. citizen now), so I know Spanish and my grandfather (father's father) WAS Sicilian. Sorry for the big explanation. What I'm trying to say is there's a lot of Italian words that are similar or the same as Spanish ones and I enjoy hearing and catching one like cavallo (I think Carlo said it recently😁)in Italian is caballo in Spanish. Anyways, that's me.🤣 thank you for your wonderful content/videos. 👋❤👏🙌

Love this so! I am 72 and use only cream shadows by Mac or Girlactik which are my fav. I find with my dry eyes, powders can only be worn for a very short time. I love cream blushes also and always use a spot of my lipstick on cheeks. I have so few eye brows and wear bangs because they are so sparse and I'd love for you to show us how to create a brow. 💖

[@chryXantho]

Lot's of great tips you've shared. From my own experience I prefer brown eyeliner and mascara and lighter brows as i get older. the darker blacks are too harsh. Eyelash curlers make a big difference too.
