I’m Sending 5 Subscribers My Beauty Must-haves! 🎉 Holiday Giveaway 2024

[@amberfire2]

I’m hesitant to leave a comment because I’m 78 and most people have dismissed us by this age but thankfully Risa you have not. We have access to so many wonderful beauty products these days and I could go on and on about the challenges we faced trying to sculpted and bronze and not look like a colorful clown in the 1960’s but thank goodness you have taken the time to introduce us constantly to the newest products and shown us how to best use them. Just because we reach our 70’s doesn’t mean we still don’t want to put our best foot and face forward, thank you Risa.

[@candidaeperez9445]

I’m 75 and I agree with you.

[@debrarichlin723]

I’m 70 and agree! Thank you Risa 🩷💚🦋🩵🌸

[@purpledragondc7532]

Age is just a number! Makeup is expression 😘😘

[@kathleenmorgan547]

Ditto❤

[@elsablue54]

Im 65 and agree also! Thank you risa❤

[@candicet.9383]

Thank you for doing this giveaway, Risa! I am a former makeup artist of 12 years. I left my profession when I had my first child in 2018. I am now a stay at home mom in my 40s with two kids (5 and 6) with autism. Long story short I completely lost myself in motherhood, and turned to KZbin for an outlet. When I found your channel I felt like I found a good friend 😊 I love your makeup application advice, tips, recommendations, etc. as the makeup I used previously for years does not work for me anymore, nor does the application techniques now that I’m in my 40s and have a lot of skin concerns I didn’t have 6-7 years ago. Thank you for helping women like me find their style again, and for being an inspiration for all women to take the time for self care no matter what age you are! Happy Thanksgiving, Risa and good luck to everyone!!

[@specialk2514]

Risa, At age 62, I had been stuck in a lifetime of using the same products and applications. Hallelujah! You have given me the knowledge to change my ways and I now enjoy being a more confident and beautiful woman. Thank you.

[@juliehilscher-enriquez7671]

Over 60.....You need to watch Risa Doess Makeup. I've been watching you for a few years now, and totally love your natural no BS approach to your channel. I lost vision in one eye a few years back and have limited vision in the one good eye. So for a while I just stopped wearing makeup. Also because of age, I now have droopy eyes, which also made me stop wearing eye makeup. Came across your channel and loved how easy you make things look. First time I realized I can still do this and deal with the droppy eye and vision. I now wear makeup almost everyday, and watch all your videos. Thank you for being you.

[@Purplegin]

If you are over 50 and new to the makeup world, watch Risa!! She is not only a clearly skilled makeup expert, she is a friend and mentor to all of us!! Watch her to gain the confidence to become the best you possible, regardless of whether you choose to wear makeup or not. She is a true gem.

[@shellidess8864]

Rosa, you are the FIRST beauty content creator I followed! I’m 61 and am in full agreement with you on how you feel about wearing what makes you feel beautiful, regardless of age! Bravo for sharing your journey with us!

[@kellyross4801]

Risa!! ❤❤❤ Wow! You've been with me through 5 years of earth shaking changes: widowhood; empty nesting; returning to the workforce full time; losing my Mom, Stage II Breast Cancer with 2 surgeries and recovery; and a stroke. I may have been falling apart, but I looked as good as I could manage! Thanks! 😘

[@justmetammib]

How sweet of you to do this for your viewers! Thanks Risa ❤

[@terrirojas]

Maybe the nail thing is because pressing them for that long flattens the fingernail, then when you remove the pressure and the nail goes back to it's natural bend/shape, it creates bubbles and pops off.

[@cherokeeblake3478]

Risa, I"m soon to be 69 years young, and have skin of color. I've watched many content creators, even ones that do makeup for skin of color, but I always come back to you. I love that you make us "more mature " women feel like we aren't forgotten and you understand that we still want to feel beautiful at any age. I thank you for that. You make me WANT to be bold and try new things. Thank you for caring about us. Gratefully, Cherokee

[@burnam524]

Risa’s favorite things? You are so kind to offer a giveaway ❤ I’ve been watching your content for many years, and I love listening to your voice. It’s very soothing. In the last year, I have had to stop working outside the home to care for my disabled husband and his father. Makeup and watching your videos is my guilty pleasure amid the hard work that goes into caregiving. Keep up the good work because I love watching you! Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@KymPossible83]

Almost 60 and still loving makeup and fashion, but I only wear what I like and feel comfortable in. Happy Holidays, Risa! Thank you for not forgetting about the mature viewers!

[@veragorges4253]

Risa, it touched my heart that you bought several products with your own money. I think this makes it even more special. I hope I win one.Thank you! ❤

[@johnnacook8796]

Risa, you have made me feel so beautiful and I have given myself grace to feel that way since my cancer diagnosis. I love you and your channel. You make me feel good again and beautiful. Thank you for sharing yourself with us!!!!

[@Glod16]

Thank you for the give away!! I love your content. I’m 46 and all of your tips from hooded eyes to products have changed my make up routine. You showed me that makeup at 46 can still look fabulous!! Thank you!

[@hollymcgaw7806]

Risa, with all of your knowledge on how to apply shadow on hooded eyes, has been a game changer for me. Thank you for all that you do for your followers.

[@JennyFromTheBeach]

Risa, not only have you redefined my idea of beauty in my 50s, but you’re also the first beauty content creator I ever watched-and you’re still my absolute favorite! 🤩

[@patriciabochko367]

Risa, I’ve been watching you for several years now and I can truly say that I have learned so much from you. Thank you for helping me feel more confident and relevant- instead of invisible!!

[@sarap1053]

Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with us! I found you last year, and, as someone with mature skin, I really appreciate all of the tips and tricks. Makes aging not quite so bad. 😉 Love your channel!

[@LKC4244]

Your recommendations are always so point on. I have loved you for years. You have so made aging gracefully a true thing.

[@jennied375]

You were one of the very first KZbinrs I subscribed to, and here I am years later still watching you!

[@ziggysbookshop]

So many of your favorites are my favorites too! Happy Holidays to you and your family.

[@stacybarham4064]

Happy Holidays Risa! I cannot begin to tell you how much watching you and learning from you these past few years has changed my life!! I went from feeling old and worn out looking to feeling vibrant and younger again! I tell everyone about you when they ask what has changed!! Thank you again for all you do to show us girls over 50 that the best is yet to come!!

[@cheriheywood780]

Risa, Risa, Risa!! At 66 my makeup has definitely changed over the decades, but since finding your channel I’ve become so much more confident at bringing the glamour back in my makeup application and makeup fun! I’ve always dressed younger than my age but for years most makeup tutorials were directed and being shown on women under 30. Bless you for all that you do and have a wonderfully peaceful holiday season!

[@karenhernon1329]

Hi Risa! I’ve been quietly watching you for years I love your utube channel. I’m 58 and not ready to be dismissed by the beauty industry. Your tutorials, your recommendations have never let me down. Thanks for sharing your expertise with all of us 💕

[@sharonloria1116]

I always follow your hooded eye tutorial when I do my make up. Fabulous tutorials!

[@maryanderson7767]

I'm so glad I found your channel this year! Stuck in a rut, using too little makeup and not the right kind for my skin concerns, your channel has changed so much for me, giving me the tools, but mostly the confidence, to expand and I think make the best of what I've got! Thank you for your kindness and generousity sharing what you have with your subscribers.

[@hummingbirdlvr5189]

Thank you for all the years of help! I have learned so much. ❤

[@letitiawolverton5725]

Thank you Risa for your informative and enchanting content. I am 53 years young and a long time makeup and beauty lover, your tips and tricks always leave me feeling educated and included. Thank you again for all you do, you are truly inspirational. ❤

[@Kristrout]

Love the hooded eye videos, 55 years old and enjoy watching you! Happy Holidays!

[@queenskid187]

This is such a wonderful act of kindness that brought a smile to my face. I rarely smile lately since my Dad passed. Beauty tutorials like yours are a brief distraction from this anguish I am going through. I especially love that you are open to trying new makeup regardless of price point and that you cater to more mature skin. I'm 51 and your tutorials have helped me understand placement and which products are more conducive to my skin. I would deeply appreciate being considered in your thoughtful give away. Thank you for being you 😊

[@MamaW30]

Risa!!! What a mega holiday giveaway! Thank you so much for the opportunity and thinking of us! So sweet! Hey, I love nail talk, beauty talk…all the talks. I’m using that nail tip!

[@joycerichter6814]

I just love your channel and love you. You give affordable makeup and tips that are so essential in this economy. I’m 70 years old, I still try to present my best self and you help me to that. I’m on a strict budget and I so appreciate your input and helping everyone to be beautiful ❤️

[@lucyandstuff]

You are the sweetest!!! Good luck to everyone ❤❤

[@christinereilley3372]

Thank you Risa for offering the viewers a chance for a giveaway. I love your tips and though I don't do glam looks the ones you do are amazing! I have been incorporating you eye makeup tips into my routine and it has helped a lot. I found out about you through Stephanie Marie who is also one of my favorites. It is great to have women of our ages being so supportive and helping us look our best! Age is just a number!

[@gigi2k326]

Risa's favorite things? Yes ma'am, yes, PLEASE!!

[@JenniferThur-s1t]

I love watching your channel Risa!!! I'm an over 50 gal whose skin has been changing rapidly these last couple of years. Finding valuable and trustworthy content has been tricky, but that's why I love watching your channel...keep up the amazing work!

[@nancymccormick7567]

Risa, the red lip is gorgeous! I would love any of these products. I rediscovered makeup a couple of years ago watching your channel and a couple of other KZbinrs. 63 and loving my makeup 😁

[@margaretfederal7378]

Hey Risa, I've followed a lot of beauty influencers over the years, but your channel/work has stood the test of time. Thanks for your transparency, your talent and all around loveliness. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@prairiemakeup8453]

Speaking of favourites, Risa, you are a favourite of mine! Thank you for not leaving those of us who have reached a certain age, I’m a proud 59 year old woman, behind. We’re creative, inspirational and have years of wisdom under our belts. Thank you for sharing your creativity, inspiration and, wisdom.

[@missdillinger]

Thanks for your generosity, Risa. You consistently contribute so much value to and connect your YT community. You're appreciated!

[@kara-1980]

You have taught me alot! I appreciate everything you put out on your videos. At 44 years old and realizing my maturing skin you have given me confidence in the entire skincare and makeup process. The correct ways to apply everything!! Thank you for being you.❤

[@helens7209]

Risa, I have been watching your videos for years. I have learned so much from you. It is refreshing to watch a KZbin creator who is not in their 20's and 30's. I am 70 and enjoy every minute of your videos. You are so relatable to every age group. You also do not make us feel bad about using any products that we like. Does not only have to be for young people. I am a glam person as well and I like a full face of glam. I don't want to feel guilty that I am too old to wear that look. When I watch you, I feel validated. Thank you for all your content.

[@cjpalmer6611]

What an incredible and generous give away! I am almost 80 but feel like 30, looking my best everyday is a priority and makeup is part of my daily routine. Love your channel Risa, I've been following you for several years. Happy Holidays❤

[@paulasushka3700]

Risa, I have watched you for years and appreciate that it was your hooded eyes tutorials that changed the game for me❤

[@JoanneOlds-c6v]

Risa, you always look so glamorous but you really stepped it up today with your gorgeous dress, earrings and stunning makeup...Thank you for all your valuable information that you always provide on products and your step by step guidelines on how to apply them and thank you for always giving us your valuable advise on what products to splurge on and what products to purchase that aren't high end. This is so helpful to us elderly women on a tight budget yet still want to look our best.

[@claudiakafader6814]

Thank you for thinking about your viewers Risa. You help me feel confident. Good luck everyone!

[@JulieHodge-b8t]

Risa, I just want you to know that you have helped me to dream again!!! I’m having so much fun again with my makeup, my hair and fashion after a long and dry, uninteresting period of life! Nothing bad, thank God, but just dull!!! You have breathed glamour and fashion into this just-turned 53 years young girl, and I THANK YOU!!!! I’m down 55 pounds now with a little more to go, and I’m feeling prettier than I have felt in a very long time, and a lot of that is due to you showing me that I can still doll it up and that yoga pants and sweats don’t have to be my uniform anymore!!! I absolutely adore you and love your content, and I’m extremely thankful for you!!! Keep doing what you’re doing bc it truly matters!!! You truly matter!!! Love you, and happy Thanksgiving!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@carollarue704]

Risa I love your videos. I'm 84 and manage to look 10-20 years younger thanks to your wonderful makeup recommendations. Thanks so much for keeping us seniors in the know. You are my glam-queen.

[@GayleDunham]

Risa, I just love your channel and watch every single video. As someone (65+) who was stuck in the same ole, same ole makeup routine, I have learned so much from you. The products, techniques and good nature of your content is inspiring. Thanks for being you!

[@terriwaddell2915]

Risa, over the years you have given me confidence to age gracefully- 57 is not so bad when you have the correct items in your beauty bag to keep looking your best. Thanks for the tips and tricks.

[@monicasaucedo6158]

I'm 42 years old and have been inspired by Risa ever since I turned 40. Even with the age gap difference, I found myself relating to her skin type/concerns etc. I have become much more comfortable in my aging 😅 and owe much of that confidence to Risa and her channel. I am excited on my future growth alongside her. She inspired me to grow outside of the box. Thank you Risa for all you do❤

[@brendamcalhany4355]

This is so kind of you to do this giveaway Risa!! Although I’m 57, you have taught me so much when it comes to makeup and skincare! When you get my age, applying makeup is different, and I’ve learned so many tips and tricks from you! Thanks again and good luck to everyone!!❤️❤️❤️

[@cherylturgeon6237]

I’ve always loved your videos as I’m 62 and have only been doing skincare and makeup for about 8 years now. Thank you for thinking of us more mature women 💓Thank you for this thoughtful giveaway 😊

[@lisas3246]

Thank you for giving us soooo many make up tips over the years! If we can feel beautiful, it gives us confidence to go out in the world. I’m 63 and have never felt better.

[@Dreemweaver22]

I can also say that you are the first makeup content creator that I started watching a few years ago. I’ve purchased so many products immediately after watching your videos 😆. Thanks for helping us older gals out!!

[@kathryngabel2007]

Risa- Love to watch your makeup tutorials. You are so glamorous and so real at the same time. I turned 68 in September. It is not as old as I thought it would be. I still teach adult ballet after 30 years. Let's keep on aging gracefully, ladies!

[@sharon3880]

Thank you Risa for showing the Holly lipstick. Most red lipsticks make me look like a vampire, because I am so fair. I think I could wear this color. It looks great on you.

[@patricetaylor6552]

My mom introduced me to skin care and makeup about 60 years ago. Earlier this year, I discovered and subscribed to your channel. Thank you for your content and makeup tips. You are my favorite KZbin beauty creator.

[@dsbeautygroupie8693]

I've been watching your channel for many years now and I have tried many of your suggestions. I have to say my fave product that you recommended is the L'Oreal 8 Second Wonder Water! I can not do without it! It works so good! My hair is always soft and shiny! Thank you Risa for always sharing your expertise with us. 😊

[@BelindaTaylor-o7y]

[@gailschaefer-guajardo6731]

Hi Risa, I am getting ready to go to my radiation treatment and saw your post. As you know this year I have been a no buy as I put my right breast cancer diagnosis first. You influenced me to buy City Lips last year and I purchased your favorite colors. They also sent 2 jars of facial moisturizer. You have been a source of inspiration to me since I started watching your channel. The items you are including in your giveaway are on my wishlist which is a long list. I also wanted to tell you that that red lip is so beautiful on you. You do look festive and seasonal. You have impeccable taste in makeup and fashion. I love your tips for hooded eyes and just recently how to make " a mess" putting on eyeshadow and making it work. Like I said before your a " Foxy Lady". Your down to earth and just an all around lovely person.🎀🎋🎄👍💯✔️🌹💗

[@chrissyforanimals]

I was shocked at how well these lip glosses actually work. Love your look.

[@vickiebruton1723]

Being someone (60 years young) who never wins anything ever.. I'm ok with that because I watch Risa for her talent, honesty, beauty and she has the biggest ❤ on You Tube!. She has taught me how to love myself in makeup again in my life after experiencing many extreme hardships😢. However, I will be totally thrilled if I am one of the ones chosen because I will use and love the products every single day! Thank you, Risa, for this wonderful opportunity, and please pick me!!💌😄🙂🥰😘💋💄🕶🩷🫶🫦🌸🌼🌷🪻⚘️🥀🪻🌹🌺🌻🌝⭐️🎉💐 Happy Holidays, everyone!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@greeneyes65]

I have been reading so many women's responses. You truly have a wonderful fan base of women in this generation. I have been with you for over a year and scene you in you highs and lows. This is what I like about you the most you are real in personality, funniness and you know when to make fun of yourself. This is what has kept me watching you. Thanks for the sweet offer.⚜

[@dawnclark3027]

Wow, what an awesome thing to do for your viewers! For years, I have purchased, used, and enjoyed so many of the products you have recommended or had good experiences with. I have reached 60 and have been able to have success with so many products you showed us on your videos even with my pronounced lines and wrinkles. Never miss your videos because of the best makeup recommendations for me out there

[@MomPita]

I've loved makeup since I was 10, but my Grandmother taught me the importance of skncare, especially Sunscreen! I'm currently 50 and I'm yet again in another season of reworking my makep techniques, and the majority of these new techniques have come from watching your channel!!

[@rachelcharon8645]

Risa! You are my absolute favorite content creator. I've learned so much from you about how to apply makeup to my aging skin. Thank you so much for all the wisdom. I truly appreciate you and all the videos you have made for us. ❤

[@distinctlymelissa]

[@heathergebbia2176]

Thank you Risa for your excellent teaching videos. I am 55 and had given up wearing makeup for awhile. I'm so thankful I found your channel and I've been wearing makeup again using your tips. My favorite method I learned from you is the eye shadow method with eye makeup remover to clean it up. That method is brilliant and now I use that almost all the time. Thank you again and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@wendygricken3369]

Thanks Lisa. I've learned a lot from your hooded eye videos. You never make us feel old because of the makeup we choose

[@MellieLovesMakeup]

I absolutely LOVE your channel Risa. You always share your genuine and honest opinion about everything and it is so appreciated as an “elder millennial” as I enter my 40s (reluctantly!) Also - that City Beauty gloss is my absolute fave. It lasts ALL DAY and plumps without the usual burn. Thank you for always sharing such great info!

[@tracyb6587]

I enjoy your content and how you disregard ageism pressures and do you confidently.

[@jolenerebel4653]

Yay! I’m 48 and have always had hooded eyes but as I aged they have become hard to work with. I’m so thankful for your videos teaching us exactly what to do!!!

[@gstang8241]

Risa - this giveaway confirms my suspicion that you are a genuinely awesome person! I’ve been watching you for years- at first it was because I was truly learning or trying to gain information but after watching you and so many other make-up influencer videos- I find myself watching only the ones who’s personalities I like- its much more than make-up. Keep doing what you’re doing! ❤ Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season!

[@kristenguzman257]

Thank you, Risa! You are so generous and caring. Your videos have been wonderful. I'm in my 50s and just started to "play" with makeup again after 30 years. You help me learn so much. Keep up the great work!

[@ChristinePacinda]

The red lip is stunning on you! Maybe this should be your new signature look? Especially with that adorable ponytail. It's just a wonderfully youthful look.

[@denisecrosby-ruskosky3085]

Give Away? WHOOT! WHOOT! I so appreciate your perspective on makeup for the over 50 crowd and the combination of high-end and drugstore products.

[@KatherineCutrufello]

Hey Risa! At the age of 37, I’d say my skin looks pretty good however I have always struggled with wrinkles and crepey skin around my eyes, along with hooded eyes that droop lower and lower each year. I’m so glad I found your channel a few years ago and utilized your amazing techniques! You truly are a gem on KZbin and I always look forward to your videos, your recommendations and the knowledge you share! Beyond grateful 🙏🏻❤️
