I am 56 and have been in a real funk. I stopped liking what I see in the mirror a couple of years ago. Having trouble accepting my age started to get me down. After seeing this video( I trust Nikki a lot) I splurged on several of these items. I have to say I haven't been this excited about looking in the mirror and putting on makeup in a very long time. I even put a touch up bag in my purse. I feel like I made a small invested in my self esteem.

[@Emma-qo7bs]

That's lovely to hear ❤️ What did you get that excited you to use??

[@gracejones2831]

@@Emma-qo7bs I love the Westman Atelier blushes and the Tom Ford bronzer and highlighter. The Tom Ford highlighter is amazing for mature skin. Also, the super loaded Peau de rose tinted highlighter from Westman Atelier. It is subtle with a beautiful glow. See, I am still excited! I have been wearing makeup everyday...it is fun again.

I have used Charlotte Tilbury powder, Huda Beauty Powder, Laura Marcier powder, drugstore powders etc and nothing comes even close to IT cosmetics bye bye powder. I am extremely oily and IT cosmetics is the only one that can control my oil, set my under eyes without looking crepy, blend everything together and give that flawless filter look. I am NC 30 and it just melts into my skin without a white cast. Absolute HG just like my Mac fix plus ❤️.

[@crispmorning]

Wow. I have to try this. I am also very oily. Lately, I purchased the Huda Beauty Cherry Blossom powder and I love it for my under eye area. But, I still haven't found a powder for all over that will really help control my disco ball situation.

[@Stephanie-hl8jo]

I love that you're praising the highlighter in the TF contour duo. It makes fine lines disappear and creates the creamiest look on the cheeks. I always hear people saying it's useless so I get nervous that TF will get rid of it. That can't happen!! :)

I just invested in 3 hourglass products and as a 45 year old woman i will never go back to drugstore brands...yep i fell in love with hourglass lol

[@cathychipman4680]

What hourglass products do you like?

[@leoismydog3091]

@cathychipman4680 i am using a concealer and a setting powder and i believe it's called ambient glow blush ....all wear beautiful and don't dry my already dry skin out and it doesn't settle into my fine forhead lines....hope this helps :)

[@cathychipman4680]

Thank you, I have dry skin also.

[@blondambition1223]

I love the hourglass caution mascara. That's my holy grail!

[@lynneevaskevich4291]

I love the Dior palette. I’m 74 and still love playing with makeup. I am so impressed with the quality difference of my few high end products - Tom Ford cream blush palette, Natasha Denona mini palette. Great video. Thanks! 💕🇨🇦

[@lleisner]

I’ve only recently discovered your channel and your knowledge is unmatched. You remind me a lot of Mel Thompson, who I really miss!

[@nickywinkworth2577]

I absolutely love the hourglass ambient palette, as much as expensive as they are I find it’s a lifesaver. I find if I’m having a bad makeup day and the foundation isn’t working this palette seems to save the day

[@bambina3148]

I really value your honesty and integrity Nikki. You’re an amazing teacher and a beautiful human. Thank you ❤❤

[@jheng8648]

Love the Cle de Peau enhancer - it gives a natural glow from within look!! (the beauty equivalent to quiet luxury). One can buy refills once finished which means it's more sustainable and there is no need to pay for the packaging again. An incredibly underrated product

[@jori7398]

Pausing video at 4 seconds to say how beautiful you look, Nikki! Hair, makeup, the lace blouse-all perfect. I feel so lucky to have a product from almost all of these brands. Except for the Hourglass Veil setting spray, which I already had, all are brand new purchases. In the last week I can see that they are truly worth the extra expense. There is no comparison to other lines I tried over the last year while searching for holy grail products on mature skin. ❤️❤️❤️ ALSO! 🙏🏼 Nikki, the Hourglass concealers are so good, that I almost don’t even need other makeup besides lipstick after applying to my under eyes. Would you consider making a video about how use more than one of their colors to brighten and color correct? I experimented last night with this and was “kind of” able to create the illusion of almost no puffiness, concealing, and brightening. Would love to see your professional techniques to do this! 🙏🏼 blessings! 💞

I would love to see a video showing all your favorites for on the edge of mature skin 😊

Thank you for always giving an honest, no BS opinion!

[@PowellFamTX]

Thank you for this video! So helpful. There is so much noise surrounding luxury makeup, that it’s hard to know which products work best. It’s super helpful to hear from someone that uses these in a professional capacity!! Thank you!!!

[@awalker127]

I love this video. The Westman atelier highlighters are glorious! I've also spent crazy amounts on Hourglass powders and don't have a regret with any of them. Hourglass loose powder, I love, but Givenchy powder is next (because of you). Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@Reckoning2943]

Throughout the years, the Chanel ultra le Teint compact foundation, and the YSL all hours foundation worked best for me personally, but I still wholeheartedly agree on the list here because it’s nothing but amazing products

[@Hannah-iq6ki]

Totally agree with you, the Cle de Peau face enhancers are stunning. I also think Westman Atelier highlighter stick in Nectar is gorgeous. Now I need to try the Givenchy powder and Hourglass veil setting spray.

[@RubyConn]

The only product I have from this video is the Hourglass palette and it is incredible. If you want to look like an angel, lit by candlelight, it is worth it. I love putting it on lightly for day and a little more for date night. It doesn’t look make-upy, but is very noticeable if that makes sense? You look lit perfectly from within but with a little touch of magic. I don’t know how else to describe it!

[@EleanorLaneDesign]

I avoided Westman Atelier for a long time but the products are unique and just work so well for me. There are some lemons as well in the line, but the Lit Up and Super Loaded and Biscuit contour are just amazing (and I don’t contour at all). I like the Peau de Peche and Peau de Sante. The Peau de Rose is too glittery for me at my age.

[@PiXie232]

Ooh I almost purchased the Peau de peche tonight after watching this! But instead I purchased the westman atelier contour in biscuit and the Clé de Peau Luminizing Face Enhancer instead:) And a few other items as well lol..😬🤣 So is the Peau de peche more like a Luminizing blush rather than a highlighter? All three colors looked so much more intense- color wise- rather than typical highlighters. Not that I necessarily don’t like that that but I just thought they were going to be more like highlighters rather than metallicy looking blush.. I’m still on the fence..

[@stephaniesell7434]
