If you don't like brown to do a smokey eye, try an aubergine or dark purple. It's fab.

[@carolsullivan9214]

Love, love the new hair color! It works well with both your eyes and you skin tone.

[@gypsysnickerdoodle4354]

YES the new hair colour is soooo flattering. I think we should start talking about ‘gourmand’ hair colours, because that looks like a gorgeous caramel or snickerdoodle cookie 🍪

[@user-bq6yg3gv9p]

Your necklace is BEAUTIFUL! Can you tell us where to get it? 😊 Thank you.

[@gypsybelle637]

May I just let you know , I love your new hair color! It really compliments your beautiful eyes. Simply stunning!

[@jann3443]

Loved your look today, Gemma, from the smokey eyes to the necklace to your nails! Lots of great tips. Thank you!

[@elacampusano7341]

Thanks Gemma for the tips, I think they make a big difference in the makeup result. And another tip for the application of the concealer is to let it create creases at first and then eliminate where they are collected in the expression lines and then no more creases, it is a good tip from other makeup artist. Kisses from Chile and I adore your channel and your personality😘😘

[@georgiam2259]

Thank you for these tips, especially re putting eye shadow primer where your glasses hit!!!! Brilliant! What I don’t understand is why almost every KZbin mua puts foundation and concealer on first??? I always started with eye make up first. This way any eye shadow fallout, mascara smudges could be cleared without ruining anything else.

[@adrianaamione8177]

I have extremely dry sensitive skin, live in a very dry weather ( specially on the next months). I sleep with a humidifier. I do apply serum and moisturizers before my sunscreen. Wear makeup everyday, a glowy one. I can't see myself having less lines with less serum and moisturizer. I always do a trick that wayne goss showed about how to apply setting spray after foundation to last. It works. I understand living in a humid weather you can use less moisturizer (I used to and miss it). I totally get your tip about the makeup and you are awesome but weather plays a huge role at least on my skin. Say hi to your lovely Mom. Thanks for the tips! Your makeup looks lovely.

[@Halloweenlover10.31]

Tip #7 was eye opening for me. Everyone always talks about hurrying to set your concealer & such before it creases. I always assumed that meant asap. I've noticed tho that while my undereyes are looking better (I switched up some things), they still can look a bit dry. (I moisturize beforehand even). I feel like your tip will be perfect. Tyvm ❤️

[@belindacrisp7078]

Hi Gemma! I was a blue liner girl from the 80's. Being fair and blue-eyed, I found black too harsh on me. I currently use a gray or taupe pencil liner, and it seems to work very well. 💔🤍💙 from U.S.

I don't know if you have access to Wet N Wild (I think you do) but they have a brown pencil called "Simmer brown now" and it's amazing. So affordable and very long so it lasts forever.

I found a small dog toy made of the same material as the Tati blendiful, so I removed the tag, decorations and stuffing and now have a puppet-like blender that I can put my entire hand inside. It works great!

Omg..that eyeshadow primer tip. Why have I never thought of that?!? Also, Colourpop does a great brown mascara too!

I’m still getting used to your new hair colour Gemma. I do really like it. During lockdowns I have decided to embrace my greys( sparkles, as my hairdresser calls them!) not an easy choice for me but it here it is…🤞🏽

My liquid liner needed a replacement and I opted for the Fenty one! Looking forward to using it. I really like the burgundy brown Pillow talk liner as well.

Good info, agree about brown liner and mascara, better as we get older...I also like a charcoal gray liner instead of black.

[@jenniferasigno7010]

Love tips and tricks I wonder when we will see your Mum again seems for ever that she has been on with you .😊

[@staciephillips6211]

Amen sister! WONDERFUL tips! Loved them all! I have the Benefit in brown & NYX in brown mascaras only for now at least. Lol I've found that the Ulta line of gel liners have been fantastic & lasted all day. A rainbow of colors I keep in matte, shimmery along w/an ivory, black, brown mattes & shimmers. The bronze, penny & another color I can't think of like those are brilliant! They give that brownish tint with a bit of sparkle/shimmer. I make the funny face when I put my brow, eyeliner & mascaras on & not on purpose. Lol So I haven't ever kept my hand on my face. Love the primer tip for chin & glasses area! Going to try that this weekend! I do prefer fingertips for concealer too. Feels like I have more control & I even wore the ELF Camo Luminous one this past Wed that's a fuller coverage & the fingers worked great! These tips were perfectly explained & very happy you mentioned them. Lastly, I love your look in this video Gemma! Again, the warmth of your hair color really envelopes your face/skintone so lovely. And your smokey eye makeup is stunning! Even loving your nail varnish! I have a black w/silver speckles in it from Nails Inc that it reminded me of. Just did my nails today in a burnt orange w/a more brownish orange hue like the fall leaves. I'm planning on the black for Halloween here. And your necklace is gorgeous along w/your rings! So put together like you're headed out for an evening on the town! Love & hugs to you & the entire Wolfpack! 🥰💁‍♀️✌🙏🧡🙏🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺👏👏👏👏👏

When I was a little younger I could rock the black eyeliner. But now that I'm in my mid-thirties I usually use a dark brown. I still use black mascara though, as my eyelashes are black themselves.

Thanks for the video! I love these tips. I am also feeling good about brown mascara info, as I am using it during the day already. It makes the look natural :-) In fact mascara is my favourite makeup. And lipstick :-) I will try the eyeshadow primer tip firstly! It would be nice to share which one your mom is using, as she has the combo oily to normal skin.

[@penelopefongers2384]

I love your eyeshadow look and your nail color today. Quite lovely.

[@chrissymoss514]

Oh yes, I've been guilty of applying too much skincare, I thought I was being kind to my skin. Resulting in my foundation "sitting", rather uncomfortably, on my face. Not a great look 🙈 I knew the Tati puff thing would come in handy - I know where one of mine is, no idea where the second one went 🤷‍♀️. I definitely going to try this tip! Brilliant tips, which, I'm sure, are going to be utilised by most of us (if not all). Thank you Gemma, this was absolutely fabulous. Love you 💗💗❣💗💗❣💗💗

I don't like makeup on my hands or transferred to my make-up container exteriors either, but I completely agree concealer definitely always works best with fingers, and then a little fixing with a damp beauty blender. That's why I do makeup in the bathroom to wash my hands - but I also don't have to share my bathroom with anyone.🙄

[@staciephillips6211]

I have a small vanity area in my master bedroom, don't share my bathroom either (Yay!), with a large LED makeup mirror I use. I dampen either a cheap washcloth or paper towel to wipe my hands off on as I go so I keep my containers/cloth table covering clean & I can sit to be comfy as my back has arthritis bad, at 48yrs. Got the Hollywood makeup style mirror on Amazon. 🐺❤💁‍♀️✌

Loved this video especially the powder puff tips ! I’ve definitely learned so much from your videos . Have your tried Trinmys new lash 2 brow ? The mascara is black but I love it - the brow comes in various shades to suit your hair colour. I love both and it would be fantastic to know your thoughts too xx

[@kathleenem9207]

As a woman of a certain age, I grew up when black liners were very popular in the late 60’s-70’s. I was so fair that I never used them preferring browns and taupes instead. I’ve noticed that the black was too harsh for me then and certainly is now. As we age our color fades and the more vibrant looks that were attractive when younger are just too much now. Just my opinion about me. Wear what makes you happy. On some occasions I like to use a pop of Pat McGrath to brighten things up.

[@Mary-ku8zf]

Nice video, did you color your hair looks good with a different tone. Thanks for sharing.

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Gemma some great tips. As an alternative to brown I love a navy or grey (or a purple or burgundy or deep green lol) for my cool toned pale skin. Navy and grey are softer than black, but still tie in with most eye looks. I do still tend to wear black mascara as navy is difficult to find, but often opt for a black/brown where possible. Warm browns are not really flattering to my cool toned skin or grey eyes tbh, although they look amazing on you and others. I really liked the tip about eye primer on the face and had heard of it used on the nose before, if foundation tends to disappear from there (i can't remember which content creator gave me the tip unfortunately). Best wishes.

Gemma one of your tips that has changed my life would be one you mentioned while reviewing the Fenty eye brightener.. You mentioned using a pink or melon based shade of concealer to help color correct dark undereyes and wow has it made a difference .. I have light skin with yellow undertones and would always purchase a matching concealer . Well I now use a cool pink based concealer instead and I find I use less and it really conceals my darkness much better 🤩thank you for that life changing tip ❤️

If this were a Bible of cosmetics, this would be Genesis. You mentioned glasses! Am I nuts or does wearing glasses usually mean more eye makeup? When I have the best look and then put on glasses it looks so insignificant. Great video

[@rachelelwin450]

I agree. I think you can ramp up makeup intensity wearing glasses and the glasses usually make your makeup look super hot!

[@kbailey3238]

Depends on whether you're long or short sighted. Short sighted means wearing glasses will make your eyes look smaller and vice versa.

[@deborahculler2973]

I agree. I would never wear the amount of eye makeup I wear without my eyeglasses making it look as though there isn’t much at all. I wear a dark rim and think that might exacerbate that. Glad you asked. I was wondering if it made just my imagination.
