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!!

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 🤗🤗.

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.

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!!!

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.

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. 👋❤👏🙌
