Makeup trends to avoid and how to modify them for 40+

[@simon-515]

Hey there. I discovered Just For Men hair dye for the brows. It comes in a tube already mixed. I paint it on wait ten minutes and wash the extra off. Seriously fantastic. Pick a lighter color than you want because it colors all those little hairs you mentioned. You're set for about six weeks and the tube will last you years. Super, super cheap.

Hi Milly, I wouldn't have thought of using that, thanks so much for sharing!

[@PattiFinn]

My hairdresser mentioned this. Is it a hair dye for dying your hair or is it specifically for dying your eyebrows? Ty!

[@debrapavlica6772]

Thanks!

Extremely useful tips that we can incorporate into our routine on a daily basis. I loved your “twin” popping up to demonstrate what we shouldn’t do!! Cute! I adore that Kitten highlighter. It is so silky. That was a great idea about blending in the Halo foundation to create a more glowing look. I am definitely going to try that. Yes, I agree…. Tarte has some great eyeshadows. They are my favorites. Thank you for another useful video 💕❤️.

So glad you enjoyed the video, Elaine. I know for me, it's easy to start incorporating new trends and without realizing it, my look is not what I wanted lol.

[@Roadie247]

Omg thank you! I thought I was doing wrong or missing out by using a nudish lipliner ! The darker liner looks sooooo harsh on me . Even when I was lots younger it still didn’t work for me. Thanks for all the great tips. I’ll be 48 next month and I really needed this

You are so welcome, Stephanie! and happy early birthday!!!

Hi, Great video, I wanted to ask you if you can give some hints for snort make up where you can’t apply eyeliner. Thank you

[@JodiMannes]

Hi Diana, glad you enjoyed the video. Do you like the look of eyeliner but just where it? Most eyeshadows can be applied with a damp makeup brush (I dampen it with e.l.f. setting spray) for a darker color that wears like an eyeliner. If you don't want it darker, apply with a dry makeup brush. Does that help?

[@dianasandoval8758]

@@JodiMannes thank you for your message and your videos! I have dry eyes therefore I cat apply many things Because I have to put natural tears etc.. so I basically need something soft that wouldn’t run off. Thank you for your answer! 🙂

Wow I really enjoyed this video my beautiful friend. So informative and really great tips. What a difference a few changes make and your right less is better. If I can ask y please can y reccomend a good exfoliate that’s gentle. Thank you so much ❤️

[@JodiMannes]

Glad you liked the video, Voula. I've reviewing exfoliants now for an upcoming video but one I continue to reach for is The Method: Polish by Lancer. It's pricy, but more gentle than my favorite by ZO Skin Health. I hope that helps. I only exfoliate every 3 days or so, and what a difference it makes to the application and appearance of my makeup.

[@voulap1782]

@@JodiMannes your a sweetheart thank you for taking the time to answer my question I’m gonna try it I don’t mind spending the money in good products certain things need to be top. The problem with me is I like all the good stuff most of the time . Have a beautiful weekend !😉❤️

[@michellecoletta2342]

Great video with good tips. Wish I had seen this last week before family photos. Will you share the details for the eyeshadow palette you used in the video?

[@JodiMannes]

Hi Michelle. I bet you looked beautiful for your family photos! I used the 537 Touch by Dior. I love it because it's all matte. Unfortunately it's no longer available, but not to worry. I found a great dupe just a few weeks ago. It's the Natural Matte Neutral Matte Eye Shadow Palette by Too Faced, here's a link so you can see it. Good luck, I hope this helps.

Awe. Thank you very much. I don’t want to identify with my age lol. Definitely don’t want to look older either. Great tips. I just started wearing makeup almost a year ago and I’m in my 40’s.

[@louannhuber2651]

I’m on the fence with a couple of tips. I think you look prettier in the photo on the left, but lose the heavy lip liner and soften the brows which I think was a trend with kids. Some color just makes you look prettier than the nudes.

[@lisapierce525]

Thanks Jodi! I know this will be helpful to so many. I have to say though that I think you would look great with some shimmer on your lids. You don’t have wrinkled eyelids, so why not? I wear mine and I always get nice compliments. I’m not talking about how the young girls do it 😂 I’ve never been a trending type person. I just do me! You are on point for us mature women though. I noticed your bandage has shrunk. I take that as a good sign of healing, yes? Thanks for the video. I always enjoy you. What eyebrow pencil do you use? I’m sure you’ve said before but I forget things if I don’t write them down. Much love sweet one!

[@JodiMannes]

Hi Lisa, thanks for asking about my finger. I decided I didn't need the big brace to do videos so I just take it off and on lol. It's definitely feeling better. I will dab a little shimmer on my eyelids on the inner corner from time to time. Don't let all the lighting in my makeup room fool you, I have some wrinkles on my eyelids lol. I use the PUR eyebrow pencil and love it. You can find it at Ulta and sometimes Amazon. The colors are limited, I wear medium, and it's probably a tad dark.

[@veronicatrevino7550]

Great video….question, what is a good exfoliater to use

[@JodiMannes]

Hi Veronica, glad you liked the video. I love the Cetaphil Daily Gentle and ZO's polish. Lancer's The Method Polish is also very good, although it's a much higher price point than the Cetaphil that works great! Good luck!

[@dianehiltz1193]

Would it be possible for you to recommend an affordable skin exfoliating product or two?

[@JodiMannes]

Hi Diane. I'm reviewing some right now but a few of my gold standards are the Exfoliant Polish by ZO and Lancer also makes a nice one. Cetaphil makes a gentle daily exfoliant for extra sensitive skin that I like also. I hope that helps!

[@JodiMannes]

Oh my gosh, first I have to say I love your username! It is a business name or just something fun you came up with? Okay, back to your question. The answer is yes. Just play with each of them a little by going lighter or darker (slightly at first) to find a look that you like. Have fun with it!

[@gailkshaw]

Fabulous tips for fair skinned blondes. But for the fair skinned with stronger &/or brighter hair color, the face will fade into ‘nakedness’ Even in my younger years as a hair model, the artist would apply my makeup whilst my hair was covered. When the stylist let down the tresses, the makeup faded in contrast. I love the nude look of makeup but it simply must be altered for darker, brighter hair color, particularly auburn or red.

[@JodiMannes]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. I would agree with you, emphasizing the facial features with a 'darker than nude' color would help them stand out and not get lost- great point. Thanks for sharing!

[@AntyTiff]

What I’m finding annoying in my 50s is the prominent bone above my eyes. Orbital bone? Also, such wrinkled eyelids. Ugh! (Happy to still be alive, though.)

[@JodiMannes]

Funny you mention that. I was just talking with a friend who wanted to get micro-blading on her eyebrows. I'm not sure I would do that at this age because in a few years your eyebrows are going to be lower on your face and if they're micro-needled on, you can't pencil them any higher. The things we have to think about, but like you said, good problems to have considering the alternative.

[@IamInPainToo]

Thanks for the detailed instruction Jodi! What I find when watching tutorials is that there is an assumption that we all know how to apply makeup and there are many steps some youtubers leave out or cut for time. I think that those are essential to learn how to up your makeup application game. When you do foundation videos could you let us know what to expect it to actually look like in real life. I have tried some foundations and they look awful from the moment I put them on. I am wondering if I am not using enough? The only primer I find useful for me is NYX Marshmallow and Milk gripper which does cover my pores and the foundation can sit on the skin and not break apart. However I just don't know if I am doing it right. Is there a need for the foundation to almost like stay together and not separate? I don't know if I am explaining it right. I love the way you give instructions because you give the "why" you are doing the steps and what to expect when you do those steps. Thank you!

[@JodiMannes]

Hi Elly, let me see if I can help. Just a few questions to narrow things down: 1) what type of skin do you have, combo, oily or dry? 2) what foundation do you use? 3) what are you putting on before your foundation?

[@IamInPainToo]

@@JodiMannes I have combo skin with an oily T zone. I have a Chanel Vita Lumiere, Estee Lauder Double Wear and multiple BB creams, CC creams and tinted moisturizers. For primer I am using NYX Marshmallow and Milk hydrogrip. These are the only two primers I have tried that actually make the foundation look better.
