Makeup & Fashion Mistakes that make you look older and how to correct them | French Beauty Secrets

[@Frenchforaday]

Hello beauties and thank you so muhc for joining me for another episode of 'French for a Day! ❤ Share with me some of your makeup and fashion tips :) I would love to learn your beauty secrets. Sending much love to all of you! xoxo

[@melindagenitempo2359]

Angela you have a scammer on your page. I reported it

[@Frenchforaday]

@@melindagenitempo2359 Hi Melinda, I can't thank you enough for reporting it. I just woke up and I'm trying to find the comment but I can't find him/her. I think KZbin might have blocked them. Once again a huge thank you! xoxo

[@lyneae3786]

Your makeup application is so beautiful!

[@Frenchforaday]

@@lyneae3786 Thank you so much, Lynea! It means a lot to me. Have a wonderful day! xoxo

[@CarryOn-Janet]

As I'm 61, I find the best way to not look "older" is to remind myself to smile. Nothing brightens a personal style like a smile. My mom is 93, and when she smiles, she shines!

[@lupechacon-florez7520]

Thank you for the tip. I am 64 over here and I’m struggling with my look and style.

[@michelascheuerman7166]

I am 59 and you are absolutely right!

[@joannmclean6406]

That's super great advice. :)

[@joannmclean6406]

We have to find our own style in clothes, shoes, makeup, and hair. Everyone is different and unique. :)

[@KarinaSwan]

👏

[@sharonbarker7448]

Your makeup looks really work for me. I am 64. You have shown me I do not need to change the shape of my face and at any age can enhance what I have naturally. I am wearing less makeup. Your tips on diet are fantastic. It didn't occur to me before that I already had natural beauty, rather that I needed makeup to create that but now I know I have natural beauty, just need to enhance the positives.

[@TheMocao]

I regularly wear red lipsticks 💄 now that I’m over 40. I find that it adds color and “life” to my face.

[@missyodell3591]

It is so refreshing to have you show how to maximize our natural look, instead of this Americanized extreme distortion with makeup and body shape. I look forward to your next session on French beauty tips!

[@1974angels]

I’m 48 and I feel that great skincare is vital! I prioritize that over makeup. From retinol to vitamin c to masks and skin treatments I find my skin glows. I never leave the house without defining my eyes but my skin is bare and moisturized with a little blush. I never powder as I have naturally dry skin and I find that hydrated skin always looks healthier and more youthful.

[@Monkey_Wolf03]

I love how polite you are in your videos. You give great advice for those of us who want to look youthful and elegant. Also helps us choose quality over quantity! I am reducing the size of my wardrobe and makeup/skin care. I appreciate your tips as they give me guidance 🌺💕

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Shannon, the previous comment that you received a few hours ago was not from me. There are some scammers around KZbin that always write about a prize and ask for personal details. I reported and blocked the account. Please never leave anything personal here. Thank you for watching my videos and have a wonderful day! xoxo

[@kathleenm5026]

I agree with you regarding hoodies and sweatpants. There are plenty of other more stylish options that are comfortable. When it comes to men I absolutely dislike baseball caps outside of playing an actual ball game. Seeing men go out to dinner wearing a baseball cap and cargo shorts screams I DON'T CARE WHAT I LOOK LIKE and I made ZERO effort.

[@oleksandradatsyk8415]

Thank you for commenting on wearing sweatpants and hoodies, totally agree!

[@rainforestblessed5031]

You're so helpful and beautiful, but your kindness and honesty comes across even more it seems with each video. It's all lovely and helpful. Love the French series.

[@Frenchforaday]

Hello and a huge thank you for the kindest words! It means so much to me. Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for watching my videos! ❤

[@regroovable]

Thank you for this tutorial Angela ❤ I’m 64yo & I completely agree with your skincare & makeup advice. I have intuitively been following your tips for many years 💄 However, I respectfully disagree with some of your fashion tips 😊 Although I am quite petite I love beautifully cut oversized clothing in quality fabrics, one of my favourite looks is oversized masculine suiting (both jacket & trousers) with a crisp white shirt. Oversized looks make me feel modern & kind of Scandi (although I’m Australian) 😅 I totally agree with a minimalist vibe when it comes to accessories, a statement handbag in a bright colour looks fabulous with a monochromatic outfit and gives a sophisticated but modern edge. Hope you don’t mind me sharing my opinion 😊

[@mgparis]

Your skin is to die for! You are beautiful inside and out :) I'm French and I am loving this series PS - I'm sorry about the loss of your mum, I lost mine 4 years ago...

Beautiful intro Angela. I'm sure your mom would be proud of you. You are beautiful inside and out. I felt your emotion when you mentioned your mom. You have such a pure heart. I'm sending you a million hugs. Baci

Awww thank you so much Ana! 🥰❤ You are so kind to me. Have a wonderful weekend! xoxo

[@kateaye3506]

Thank you, Angela. I seem to do all these things naturally. Good advice for all, without seeming disdaining. It is refreshing to see a woman with her heart on her sleeve. When you discussed your mother, I think we all collectively felt the same pang of emotion you showed. Thank you for making emotion part of who you are and not stopping yourself from letting us see it.

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Kate :) A huge thank you for the kindest words! It means so much to me. Have a great week ahead. xoxo

[@deeanndavis1256]

Yes, feeling that pang in the heart.

[@mimi-c]

Merci beaucoup, Angela. One trick that I use, is dark plum mascara, instead of black. YSL, and Dr Hauschka both have this colour, and they are both wonderful! I have green eyes, and although I was uncertain at first, I now very rarely go back to black. Warmest regards from New Zealand 💜

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi lovely, the previous comment was not from me. I've already blocked and reported it to KZbin. Please do not share any personal information with these people. Sending you much love to beautiful New Zealand and thank you for watching my videos. xoxo

[@tiaria9666]

Thank you for your honesty. I use Chanel Les Beiges Water Fresh tint in #20. It’s light and blurring. It makes my skin look youthful and fresh. My skincare is all Chanel Sublimage and has drastically improved my skin. I suffer from cystic rosacea and this skincare stops my skin from reacting and developing cysts. With Chanel Sublimage my skin is fresh, dewy, youthful and clear. I know it comes at a high price point but it’s worth every dollar I spend. I’m 60 years old and don’t look my age. People ask me my age and they can’t believe it when I tell them. Chanel Sublimage and years of consistent good skincare has paid off. I always tell friends find a skincare regimen that fits your pocketbook and addresses you skins needs.

[@vhalleranch]

Hello Angela, I really enjoyed this video, as you've provided tips and commentary that are "classics". I used to work in the cosmetics industry (in my 20s and 30s), and I could almost hear your words in my own voice!!!! You are absolutely correct about all of it (there are always a few exceptions). I laughed out loud when you got to the "American Sweatshirts/hoodies" , because at 54 I still wear sweats every day at home, but I choose to never wear them out: not even the grocery store. Why not? Over the years, I have known/worked with many European women, and they have all expressed the same opinion about wearing sweats (or any workout wear) as an outfit, unless at home or the gym. You are my favorite Beauty KZbinr!

[@Frenchforaday]

Hello and a huge THANK YOU for the kindest words! Saying that I'm your favorite KZbinr really made my day! ❤ I wore a hoodie for the first time in the US. I remember it was a very unusual and cold summer in Berkeley, California and I was so unprepared for the cold weather lol. Everyone was wearing hoodies and that's why I bought a few and OMG they felt so comfortable and warm almost like a hug :) That was the only time when I wore hoodies outside (during this summer). Then when I came back to Europe I never wore one outside. As you mentioned it's not something that Europeans wear. It's considered as a gym outfit. I still have them in my wardrobe. It's such a sweet memory that came back to me right now. :) Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for watching! xoxo

[@deborahrosen165]

Angela I couldn’t agree with you more about hoodies and sweats. I am a mature American woman and I dont wear either of those items either. At home Ill enjoy cashmere leisure wear which looks pretty and feel comfy!! 😊

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Deborah and thank you so much for watching! :) I adore cashmere too. In fact I'm now having a cup of tea snuggled in a cozy oversized cashmere sweater while replying to comments. Have a wonderful weekend! xoxo

[@lyssagemme]

I am 47 years old and I agree with you on everything. If you don't mind, I have an idea for a video: French women's hair style. I would love to hear your advice, you have beautiful hair.

[@SB_41]

I've started tightlining my upper lid with Stylo Yeux Cassis by Chanel. My eyes are blue and I am pale; this is a great alternative to black, navy, or dark brown.

[@Frenchforaday]

Oh thank you so much for mentioning it Sara. I love this color too. As you said it's a fantastic alternative to brown, black and navy. I almost forgot that I have it. Have a great weekend! xoxo

[@carolannthornton1918]

I like your free spirit which enables you to express your own point of view and to say what you like and dislike! This is a very helpful and refreshing video for me. I do not like the American contouring, highlighter, blush thing. It makes all ages look sunken and melodramatic. Thank you from Texas, USA

Hi Carol Ann, Thank you so much for the kindest words. It means a lot to me. Sending you much love to beautiful Texas! This is one of the states that I always wanted to visit. I hope someday I will. Have a wonderful weekend! xoxo

[@mariabarnes9197]

Thank you for giving us so many good tips in this video! I especially appreciate your recommendations regarding wearing beige, & particularly your advice to determine the season in which you'll wear it. I absolutely agree that wearing the wrong colour beige for our complexion in the wrong season (tanned vs untanned, & the various hues in between) can either overpower us, or make us look washed out.

[@Frenchforaday]

No nudes for this 63 year old. Color on my lips lights up my whole face. I do have a couple pinky shades that re softer but they work well when I’m playing up my eyes with color. Thanks for the wonderful tips. We older ladies still love our makeup - just need to be more discerning in our choices. I wear shimmery eyeshadow too. 🙂

[@elenal2012]

Older ladies? Don't identify with this label.

[@christina4465]

I love and agree with what you said and I was nodding my head the whole video, Angela! However, I love animal prints, I wear it in moderation, and as long as it is not from head to toe, they are good to wear as a pop to your outfit in my humble opinion. Of course, confidence is what counts. 👍🏻🤩 Thank you, thank you as always, Angela! I hope Angela and all of you have a happy weekend! ❤️🥰💝💕🇫🇷💄🍀

Hi Christina :) Actually fashion experts always recommend animal prints as an accent. I know you have perfect style and I always enjoy your tips and recommendations so much! Have a great weekend and as always a huge thank you for watching and for all the support! xoxo

I agree with you almost in everything you are saying. Is good though to hear someone putting this things out. Even makeup artist’s for mature ladies are sometime looking good only under camera.

Huge thank you for your recommendations 🌸 I started to use foundation only less than two years ago, and I follow you maybe for like a year and a half, it was very hard for me to choose a right foundation for me, since I’ve never used them before and didn’t know much, but because of channels like yours (and mainly yours) I bought all my foundations, they’re really great, and all of them (3) are from your list under this video. Especially the two of Chanel really are the best ❤ I really trust your taste and opinion in many things (not everything, only because our natural colours are a bit different)

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Karin :) You made my day! 🥰❤ Thank you so much! I am truly happy that I was helpful. Choosing the right foundation is very important. Complexion is so important.

[@barryperkins8800]

Hello Angela Thank you for the (reminders) tips. The damp beauty blender and powder is great. Also dispensing with concealer and being minimal with it. To me well moisturized skin looks really youthful. Great video.

[@donnadrane4977]

I love your orange top, Angela! Agree about animal prints, although, if kept to a pair of shoes or a belt, it may be ok. Yes, less is more as we get older. I’m 63 and if your skin is in good shape you will naturally require less makeup. A pop of color on the lips always looks fresh and flattering. The only ones who can pull off lots of eye makeup and a nude lip are the young ones.

[@CyndyKlein-v5w]

I always learn something from you! ❤

[@RosaMysticaMantilla]

I like a lot of your advice here which is mainly spot on and really good! I do like animal prints, but I understand that's not for everyone...As a woman in her sixties, I don't mind looking "older", because I am older. Older can (should) be good! What I think you really mean by older is frumpy or dowdy maybe?

Hi Angela! 😊 Thank you for your honest advices! I totally agree with all you said. Regarding makeup I prefer to buy less but good quality. I think nobody ( I’m talking about ordinary people) need 23456 foundations, eyeshadows, powders, mascara etc. at the same time. I don’t use contouring powder and bronzer and I don’t understand why many people consider that is a must have. XOXO 🤗

[@ylva571]

Love your videos Angela. Thank you. Something I have recently experimented with is a tinted lip oil. They feel lovely alone or over lipstick. I also pat the product into my cheeks for a lovely subtle dewy cheek colour as an alternative to blusher. (But of course with minimal foundation as recommended by Angela 😊❤️)

These kind of greyish nudes are trendy in the States. I love that French women choose healthy looking nude colors. I've always liked the nude lipsticks that you wear. I would love to see a video on how to choose the perfect nude lipstick please.

Yes!! I have friends who are light/fair. It’s usually my friends who are white. And they love these purpley Greyish toned neutrals. And it always makes their complexion look so dull. Whenever I tried to tell them, they assumed I was “hating”. So I was like whatever 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi Angela What a great video. Okayyyyy. Baking? That is something that I do on my oven. As for foundation I go to the store and two or three little samples and bring them home and try not just for the color but coverage and glow( don’t use Matt’s they age me). Don’t use powder. And most important for me is skincare. I can’t see my pores. Of course they are there but tretioin takes care of make them invisible. Never wear prints n I am to short they. Are me look shorter. I loooove bright colors and always follow the rule complimentaries. Pleas continue with these series so we all know what and how to apply makeup and how to dress. Thank you. 🥰🥰🥰

[@Frenchforaday]

Gloria :) Always such a happy moment when I see your comments. You know you have the most gorgeous skin! I must say that you have the best technique to shop for foundation. The best way to know if foundation is right for you is if you try it at home and in natural light to see if the color matches your skin tone and to see if you like the coverage. Sending you hugs! xoxo

[@elle2953]

Lovely, classic tips!! Merci Angela❤

[@classysimplelife3849]

Really interested video- thank you so much for shared ☺️ about powder and concealer- I’m 42 years old and I highly recommend this 2 products from Sisley - Blur Expert powder and PHYTO-CERNES ECLAT Concealer - they are pricey but they are worth any penny in same time they are efficient cosmetics- I’m buying one concealer for a year and using 365 days per year. I don’t need to use foundation and this combo from Sisley is perfect for mature skin which is sensitive, really light- cool undertones & normal to dry ☺️

[@Frenchforaday]

I adore the Sisley concealer too! I haven't tried the powder that you mentioned. I use the loose powder from Sisley. It's stunning! Thank you so much for watching and for mentioning these lovely products. xoxo

[@sarah_the_white]

Thank you so much for this informative and kind video. I loved all of your tips! I am 50 years old and struggle a bit with keeping my eye makeup softer because my hair and features are all so pale with no contrast, that playing up my eyes has always worked for me. I have found ways to soften it and will continue to do so as I age, but that one is definitely the hardest for me! I have found several magical products that I love for overall look and quality of my face wearing makeup: Urban Decay Naked foundation is wonderful, but I have even started using much less of that, opting for either a generous layer of Makeup Forever Pore Minimizer Primer first, or mixing the tiniest bit of foundation with a larger amount of Glam Glow Glowstarter (the first giving a blurry/slightly matte look, and the second giving a beautiful glowy soft look). I use almost no powder and tiny bits of concealer as needed, and when I do need to take some shine off of my nose or chin, just a small swipe of Fenty Beauty Invisimatte Blotting Powder works beautifully. All that said, my number ONE non-negotiable tip is having excellent side lighting or around the mirror lighting when doing makeup because it blows out all the shadows and makes my face look really good to begin with, which helps me use less makeup and concealer because I am sort of faked out to think that my skin looks even better than it actually does. 😂

[@Frenchforaday]

Hello :) The previous comment was not from me. There is a fake account that is using my photo. Please don not reply to those. Sadly this is happening on a lot of KZbin channels lately and KZbin still can't resolve the issue. I hope they will find a way to stop these bots soon. Thank you for the excellent tips. I really like the idea of having a mirror with good lighting because i really helps to use less makeup. Have a great day! xoxo

[@vickijennings5745]

Thankyou Angela, I'm enjoying your skin care videos so very much! Great advice, make up is 90% good skin care!

[@KarinaSwan]

As for fashion, agree with you about leisure style as well, it feels and looks lazy, I understand the comfort with our busy life, but it does not look good. I will correct you though, "monochromatic" doesn't just mean basics like all black or neutrals like all beige you mentioned, it can be a brighter colour or any colour, except the outfit will be all in that colour but can be different shades of it, so a look in red shade or all green for instance is also a monochromatic look 😃

[@elisabeth0222]

Beautiful as always! I have been really loving the Typology brand for healthy, natural look with skincare benefits. Price isn't bad!

I had to laugh while watching this. I work in TV/film. Every time you said "unless on film / studio lights". I can't tell you the number of times a makeup artist has been doing my makeup and said "well, for this part - you would not be too glamourous" and then proceeded to put a bold highlight / bright lipstick, etc. It is really true what translates on film is so much more muted. But of course, we are half blind a good deal of the time by the lights on set, especially if it is night and they are using lights to make it day 🙂

I totally agree about staying away from pale nude lipsticks. As I age I have noticed I need a lot more color in my lipsticks and I have noticed that women who are my age do not look good in nudes. In the USA, esp, people are still into the nude lips and I think some older women think because it has been a trend among the young that it will make them look young, but it does the opposite. I also agree about the leopard prints and animal prints- I have seen many older women try to use those as a way to look younger or more edgy but it backfires. I'm not sure I agree about jewelry, however, because I would say it depends on the type of jewelry. You look very beautiful in those colors, by the way.

Hi Christine :) and thank you so much for watching my video. The right nude colors look gorgeous. I've noticed the trend with the pale nudes too. I don't think it's flattering even on young girls. Of course for the jewelry - it all depends on the type of jewelry and whole look. Have a great weekend! :) xoxo

I've found that a very thin, watery foundation with HIGH pigment plays better with lines and wrinkles. Chanel has a few good ones. I wear the lumiere velvet! I wouldn't recommend it for very dry skin, though. I find that anything greasy or thick will settle in those lines and emphasize them.

Great video Angela! I just started to use eyeshadows recently (I used to use it in my teens the last time 😊) and followed your recommendations and got a couple of Chanel quads (Tisse Rivoli and Tweed #4). I was considering getting Charlotte Tilbery Sophisticate on Black Friday - based on your recommendation - but not sure now as it’s matte. What do you think? Is it good for aging leads? I kind of staying away from too shiny ones - bought Dior Soft Cashmere and had to return it as it looks too shiny for me. I do love Sisley Chestnut that you recommended 😊. That type of “shine” is very much to my liking. So trust only your recommendations from now on!

Dear you have spoken my heart. I really follow what you have said right now. l am now 38 and only use a little bit of tinted foundation, setting powder only during the summer time, apply blush and nude or dark lipstick. Sometimes I do use shimmiary eyeshadow with a little bit of eye pencil liner. Occasionally l use mascara but that's once or twice a year. This year l have invested in make up product like bronze and highlighter. After a couple of applications, l realized that l do not need them. I look much better without them. Moisturizer and sun's screen are my only skin care routine. That's all.

Hi Rubaida, you have such a wonderful makeup routine. :) Thank you so much for watching and have a wonderful weekend! xoxo

Powder: instead of concealern I powder under my eyes with a dedicated eyeshadow brush. that little bit of some thing makes me look fresh & the shadow brush prevents build up in my fine lines. Not a fan of Blush, Brozer all the way but then I am Half Italian 😎💋

Merci beaucoup, Cristina :)

Don't apologize for comments you feel may be offensive to Americans. It is helpful to understand the European point of view when trying to elevate your style. Hoodies and work out clothes as a daily outfit are in my opinion very tacky, but at least people aren't wearing pajama bottoms to go out, which was a big trend not too long ago

Amazing Angela… Thank you

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Victoria :) Thank you so much for watching my video. Have a wonderful weekend! xoxo

Thank you for these wonderful tips, and personally I do not like the trend of wearing leggings/tights for pants. My mother taught me never to go out with sweatpants and looking like I rolled out of bed.

[@martasoltys9091]

First of all you look very beautiful in this video. I love orange, too. Secondly, I'm sorry about your mom. Thirdly, a cheaper option that I found with a great foundation that lasts a long time and decent skincare line is Clinique. They often give bags of samples away too when you purchase a bigger item. And you are right, while it seems judgmental, I hate seeing people at Walmart wearing what looks like pyjamas and not trying at all to look nice.

si vede che sei una persona onesta e buona e mi sono commossa quando hai accennato alla tua mamma. I tuoi consigli sono preziosi per me che sono fair e ho 46 anni.. e mi piace il make up che NON si vede, grazie a te ho scoperto il fondotinta di Chanel all'acqua e mi trovo divinamente, letteralmente invisibile, sugli occhi solo mascara, qualsiasi matita mi cola (anche col tightlining)
