You are absolutely beautiful and seemingly so down to earth. I have subscribed and I'm really looking forward to viewing more of your videos. You are a prime example of 50 and fabulous! I'm weary of the videos created by younger makeup "gurus" who use only high dollar brands. I admit, most of my makeup falls under that category so it was refreshing to see a high dollar model using mostly low dollar brands and achieving a high dollar look. I was also impressed with the fact that you didn't have to use 6 eye shadows to achieve your look nor did you contour! So glad I've found you - you're a breath of fresh air! Keep up the great work. I'm a fan!!!

Kira, You might want to re-check your info on Loreal. Many years ago when I found out Loreal did animal testing I swore off any and all Loreal products and followed that up with with a very "strong" letter to them. Several years later I saw in the news in several different places that loreal made a statement that they no longer do any animal testing, apologized, and committed to absolutely no animal testing or products derived from any animal source. I waited a bit, examined their labels and did a little research, and that did seem to be the truth, so eventually I went back to using some of their products. I can't imagine that they would go backward on that knowing what a huge issue that is to so many people. If I am wrong or if you have found out something new, please share because I would definitely want to know that.

Very grateful too is my husband as I had scheduled a make-up session with my hair stylist and cancelled just a few days before my appointment (saving a few $$ scores points with the man every time!). I love how you relate to issues your audience has and deliver your information with such natural poise and overall simplicity. I look forward to tuning into your other Utube posts. Thanks for all the tips and representing some of women's most important self-improvement issues. Cheers! - Bella BTW: I've been using the Boomstick product line for a couple of years and absolutely LOVE IT! And of course I will continue to do my easy 3min Boomstick Wow Look from time to time. However, my reason to upgrade from "natural mature beauty" to "super-natural mature beauty" is I wanted a upgrade to looking and feeling like a $BILLION$ bucks ... equatable to my 20s when I used to 'do-it-up' with various facial products following my very 1st make-over. Most of my life I have done mostly cheap and super simple "look lifts" with cheap make-up lines consisting of: eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, blush and lipstick - DONE! Completely bypassing the moisturizer, primer, concealer, foundation and setting powder. Now I'm ready to WOW mostly myself cuz I ain't getting any younger! Again, many thanks, sweet lady, and all the best to you always for sharing.

MASCARA HINT....I always buy and use 2 mascara tubes at a time. I take a silver marker and write at the top of each tube "R" and "L" for right and left eye! This way, the mascara lasts a lot longer because you're only using a single tube for each eye and it doesn't dry out, AND it prevents cross-contamination of infection or irritants between eyes.

I'm amazed how much make up is applied on these tutorials (especially with younger KZbinrs), looks good on camera... walk outside outside it's a mask. I was at Universal Studios and saw soo many women/girls walking around who'd obviously been watching YT make up tutorials, they all had white strips of highlighter & dark contouring all over, layers of foundation, cover up, concealer & whatever else. They all must of used the same stencil to spray on really dark, really thick eyebrows that didn't match their faces. I had to stop myself from being very rude by staring, some of them literally looked like clowns, my son even brought attention to it. Even though this woman looks great, it's still a LOT of make up. No matter how good the make up is, it looks caked & mask like when you step outside. Am I the only woman who feels this way?

I have learned in my years of doing and teaching beauty that a lot of people use contouring and highlighting for the wrong reasons. I believe it's because they are told to contour and highlight: it shows the make up artist within. Contouring is only necessary to alter the face to give the imagination or illusion of a next to perfect shaped face and to recede prominent areas on the face. I'm very happy to see Madam Monique not take those steps just because. Honestly she doesn't need contouring. Sooooo Beautiful Monique!

I usually don't leave any comments on videos I look at and tutorials like this one but I honestly have to say, I really do love your old school unique style Monique on how to apply makeup, it is simple, can be cheap and it is easy (YAAAAYY)!!! Monique you don't go overboard on how and what to apply to your face (love it) but I have seen so many tutorials where the person is naming off a SHIT load of so many product in order to get a beautiful look and I am like "oh my hell"!! Monique you are awesome and just so amazing, please keep these videos coming!! I at times look at tutorials like this one and so so many women have and apply WAY TOOOOO MANY products to their face and that is fine for them if they want to, it's like a form of artwork for them and they really do look completely AMAZING!! But for some people like myself are not going to buy a SHIT load worth of products that can be really costly, especially when I know the old school way is a lot less confusing and it won't cause me a headache when choosing or trying to select the correct shade or product for my face. Not everyone like myself are informed or have the knowledge base of "the makeup world. Monique I think old school is the most legit, fast, easy and real way to apply makeup because I was taught old school and plus back in the days the makeup was not what it is today and I see (just speaking for myself here) no wrong here but less chemical or product on your face, the less damage your skin will be!!!

just watched Monique and her video for the very first time and love it. She didn't brag at all! I beginning to believe that as you become the mature age of 50, I really don't want to spend a lot of time in the AM getting ready for work, Her tips were right on point! Thanks Monique, I just subscribed.

Oh thank goodness! I finally found someone who uses makeup where I’m not spending 70 bucks to get an eye pallet that I probably won’t use!! At my age, I can think of smarter ways to spend my money. My most expensive makeup item is my base. Everything else is drugstore purchases. Now I need to go binge watch the rest of your videos!

Turned 50 this year, and this is FINALLY a makeup tutorial for me! It is so hard to look natural at our age! I have tried the tricks the young girls do...ugh, I look like a clown. Thank you for sharing what you use, and not what an advertiser wants you to use! You look absolutely stunning!

You are so stunning! I have red/strawberry blonde hair and always wondered how I would transition to gray when I get older. I only hope to look as stunning as you do. Really enjoyed this video, I am a self taught makeup artist and my boyfriend's mom has been asking me for help with her makeup and I saw this video and decided to watch it. Glad I did, you've got yourself a new subscriber here!

I agree. I love your hair color. How can i get it. I got my long hair cut and quit coloring but Im thinking of using a color remover first then coloring it gray, Ill be 59 this year and my sisters have done it. So why not ?
@maryt37446 жыл бұрын
I'm going to jump in here about hair color. I'm a color educator and I can't stress enough to not handle your color by yourself. If you want to go from tinted hair, there really are only two effective ways: 1. Grow out hair to the point where you have at least 2-3" root area. Have your stylist do a very heavy foil highlight and lighten the tinted hair ONLY(not any of the new outgrowth) to as close to pale yellow (which is close to white) as possible. This will give you a canvas upon which she can then apply a grey toned hair color. Know this: very few stylists know how to formulate grey color. it's tricky! Most turn either blue-ish or lavender. Personally, I would stop women who have beautiful highlights and ask for their stylist's name. After you hear the same name 2-3 times, make a consultation appointment. Make sure if she suggests a highlight that you tell her you don't want your new growth touched. It will be a backward step, even though it won't exactly match the final results on the ends. You're looking for something to get you by, but your goal is to wear your natural color, so I can't stress enough, don't let anyone touch your roots. Also, if she charges a lot, she probably has a lot of experience and goes to extended education classes. it will be worth it. 2. Grow out your hair and if your tinted or natural hair is light enough, purchase shampoo and conditioner that has pigment in it. Use those to shade the "incoming" grey/white hair so it blends with the rest.As soon as you get enough outgrowth to cut your hair into a stylish short hairstyle, just do it! You may have to a "detox" treatment to remove the temporary color from the color/shampoo, but it's not a big deal. Lastly, DON'T touch your own hair or attempt any sort of fix. This is a tricky thing to do even for many stylists. Sorry to hijack this conversation, but these tips will prevent some possible major disasters. Once it's all grown out, if you have more grey than white, then you can have a GOOD stylists weave in some bright white pieces to remove the dullness steely grey can often cast, and it will also brighten up your eyes and complexion. I enjoyed the video. Many thanks!

We must be from the old school when it comes to eyebrows. So even of the people on KZbin almost have unibrows and that's not how I was taught. Good to see someone who knows what they're doing!
@michellegriff136 жыл бұрын
Pam I have never seen Monique not look amazing with her makeup techniques....even when she's going as natural as possible. What she understands and focuses on with brows is to accentuate what we already have and not trying to replicate the more "popular eyebrow trends" that so many others are doing and have been doing for years. The problem with following the trends is they focus on having naturally fuller brows like many middle eastern women are born with and it's easier to work with. Many of us don't have that because our natural color is much lighter in certain areas and very deceiving. We also wind up spending too much time on the brows for no reason because they are not meant to look like the others. I'm 38 right now but I'm finding myself heading more towards the looks for mature faces because when my face begins maturing more noticeably I want to have already known the tricks and what to avoid. I feel like I've spent most of my makeup wearing life having the makeup stand out to get attention rather than making my features stand out from the makeup.

That's why I never got rid of my eye brows. In the 70's everyone was all oh you look like Brooke Shields (I wish) and I stayed with them. I never liked the idea of getting rid of them and frankly can't stand the tiny, thin drawn on ones I see. I pluck the odd stray that grows way out of line but that's it

Best tutorial I’ve seen (and I think I’ve seen hundreds!). You look amazing and you’re hilarious to boot. 🤣 Thank you so much for showing us “mature” women that we can wear makeup without looking old! (Referring to other videos I’ve watched where the women doing the tutorials have said ridiculous things like that).
