Love the day in the life of Dez, as you travelled by train, looking very cute and funky in your little cap ❤❤

[@beautybydez]

Honestly that cap is a hair saviour in the damp weather!

[@jacquelinebeeson8669]

I do think it's a waste of money it does not turn back time.I am 75 and was young mid sixties wore the whole look often two pairs of false eye lashes.I perfected the look smoky eyes into my sixties. That look just does not work past 70.I have adopted a new way keep my skin moisturised I cover age spots with good concealer.Also a light tinted moisturiser make sure eyebrows done and lippy touch of mascara. Good haircut sharp clothes and that's it .I get lots of complements which is nice but it's more freeing.I let my hair go gray.I spend the money I save on quality clothes and comfortable shoes.Love your posts❤ .

[@beautybydez]

Thanks so much! Sounds eminently sensible ❤️

[@nickimontie]

I've never heard of Rumi. Thanks for sharing this new (to me) brand!

[@SandraSallin]

Hi Dez, Congratulations on all of your new subscribers. Good for you. Now I'm wondering if that mascara transfer had something to do with the contact with the products under your eyes? I have a question. When I put on the RMS Eyelights, it shows off the texture of my eye lids. I put it on much lighter than you. I don't use a primer as per Rose Marie Swifts warning. You're able to wear dark eye shadows. My eyes turn into a deep dark hole when I do that. Looing good lady!

[@beautybydez]

Thanks so much - and yes, I wondered about that too - about the transfer. Your eyes are beautifully dark, so I can see why a lighter shadow works better - it makes them pop!

[@kerenbb]

I really like Laura Geller balance n brighten. Worn for years. I have worn it over Heliocare gel cream spf 50 in light during the summer and it’s been perfect for me. Don’t often hear about LG but a staple for me x

[@tinasbestmidlife]

I love the Baked Balance and Brighten too! It’s great!

[@beautybydez]

Thanks Keren - Laura Geller is not as well known here, but it sounds as though I'm going to have to take the plunge and try it!

[@janclapham8367]

Hi, have you ever tried Look Fabulous Forever cosmetics? They are designed for older women. Your eyeshadow was a pretty colour and on a side note, your nail colour is a pretty colour.

[@beautybydez]

Thanks Jan! I haven't tried them, no - I like the fact that the brand was started by an older woman and it now is a family company as her daughter has taken it over I believe. I am just not sure what a makeup brand can do differently for older skins.

[@janclapham8367]

I have to say their eyeshadows are very good. Thanks for your videos, do so enjoy them. You've made me put make up.on again.....😊

[@charlottehodgson5093]

@@beautybydezI use Look Fabulous Forever and do like some of her products. Her tutorials are excellent. A lot of other products from other companies tend to make my eyes and nose run but LFF don’t, so a plus!

[@meggmegg6656]

Love your Lisa Eldridge skin tint the best. Concealers are a bear for undereyes as we age.I think the RMS shadow looked good but the color is a bit dark for me and the RmS blush looked good on you but I would never have picked the color for myself. I try to use a peach color corrector before concealer which helps. Pixie makes an affordable one and there are several peachy eye treatments like colorscience and Dermatology. I can use the colorscience but the Dermatology makes me itch, knotweed I think in it.

[@beautybydez]

Thank you! I always forget about colour corrector - I have a couple, but not the Pixie as it contains fragrance.

[@HilarySing-z5c]

Dez your videos are so enjoyable. You were meant to do this I just love all the details it’s so scrumptious 😊 I’m very interested in the RMS eyeshadow it’s beautiful on you . Oh and what a great hat so cute 🥰 ❤

[@beautybydez]

Awww thank you so much! That hat is a hair saviour - any damp in the air and it goes on and stays on while I'm outside 😉

[@Allegra11]

Looking fab as usual Dez! I haven't tried the brands/products but the concealer looks tempting! Thanks for the info X

[@beautybydez]

Thank you ❤️

[@hubertinasimon7098]

I like you videos, they uplift me! I think mature make IS good quality make up. Especially eyeshadows can make my eyes creypier. I think it comes down to that, to make the skin looking more dewy, less dry, showing less wrinkles and creypy skin. That is the problem for mature skin mostly. For me at least.

[@beautybydez]

Thank you so much! Completely agree re dewy v crepey skin - we want more dew 😊❤️

[@jacquiposener7262]

Great video Dez. The blush looked great but the foundation you used I thought it was a bit grey on you. There is an English brand of cosmetic products called Loof Fabulous Forever. Its owner is Tricia Cusden and it’s very open. Lots of is products get 5 star ratings. Many videos on YT about how to apply the products, cool and warm colours etc. It’s a UK product too which is an added bonus. Personally I haven’t tried the products and they are quite pricey too. If you’re onto a thing about this makeup for older women, it would be great to have you try them out!😊

[@beautybydez]

Thanks so much Jacqui! I have seen Look Fabulous Forever but never been attracted to the brand - I think because tbh I don't see how a brand can develop products that are different enough from what's already available which suit mature skins - also, if I'm honest, it looks a bit boring, but I don't want to criticise a brand which is so loved and is focused on a particular age demographic because it was started by a woman who is of that age - and more power to her and her family as I believe her daughter has taken over the running of the business now. Hope you don't mind - but never say never ❤️

[@jomidwinter]

I have a blue eyeliner from Beauty Pie and that appears under my eyes even though I only put it on the upper lid. Because of the colour I know it’s the eyeliner. Odd. I haven’t used any products specifically for older women ( I’m 66), but I follow channels for mature women and often buy their recommended products x

[@CeinwenRMG]

Hello, Dez - Huge thanks for the investigative work you did on the supposedly family-run businesses that are targeting older women; I am suitably appalled at the lies, but I suppose that's what passes for strategic marketing these days. Anyway, I've loved RMS for years - never thought about them as offering makeup for older women, but I do love their products I've tried (cream ones only - I haven't tried their newer powder blushes, etc.). Also, just to let you know: when I have eye product migrating below my eyes as you experienced, it's usually eyeliner - which is depressing news; I seldom wear it these days, simply because of the raccoon look I develop - much worse than what happened to you. Oh well, at least lipsticks still give a reliable pop of colour and generally stay put (sort of). Have a lovely week - Ruth

[@beautybydez]

Oh interesting, Ruth - thanks! The only eyeliner I usually wear now is the VB which I absolutely love and which doesn't migrate - I much prefer it to the Lisa. It is a shame about the back story - I love hearing about the origins of a brand, if there is a story to be told, but to tell a story that isn't accurate - that's just plain wrong. Have a great week yourself ❤️❤️❤️

[@beyond50skin]

Happy Sunday 😊😊

[@roseyc.5846]

P.S. I also love your nail color choices, Dez..very edgy and modern! Rosemarie

[@travelingexpats]

I haven't used a primer for ages so this video is interesting. Might have to give it a try.

[@janew2938]

Unless a company can point to a specific ingredient that is proven to be of specific benefit to older faces .... How can it be anything but marketing nonsense? Enjoyed your presentation. (Age nearly 72)

[@cindywharton5558]

Totally agree!

[@beautybydez]

Indeed!

[@reneklein6049]

Good morning, darling Dez. I've not tried anything from RMS. It was quite chilly here both yesterday and today. The morning temps have been in the high 40s -50s in the morning, and the low 70s in the afternoon. Too chilly for me. I love a one and done eye shadow, especially a cream or a stick formula. The eye tint looks very pretty. Perhaps try applying it with a brush so it doesn't adhere to your lashes. I've never even heard of Rumi Cosmetics. I don't they sell it in the States. I like the blush and the liner. The mascara could be clinging to your undereye due to the luminosity of the CT product, and or concealer, even though you powdered your undereyes. I'm not sure that I believe in brands or products that target more mature women. As long as the products are good, they should work on any age. Thank you, sweet Dez. Lots of love. Enjoy your week. 😊💝💝🫶

[@beautybydez]

Good afternoon dearest Rene! Yes, autumn is setting in and leggings are being applied along with socks! I will try a brush next time - but I do love the colour. Give Rumi a wide birth - it makes me cross when brands mislead us! I think the CT product could be the culprit. I'm going to try the Huda beauty primer - was it the Huda Beauty loose powder you were recommending? Might have to add that to cart too 😊 Love to you too ❤️❤️❤️

[@reneklein6049]

The Fall wants to come, but I believe that the temps will climb again during the week. The powder that I recommended is the Hourglass loose powder. It's such a beautiful formulation, and it works well even on my dry skin. Stay warm and cozy. ❤❤​@beautybydez

[@jessicacollins9033]

Loved your video, Dez! I’ve been interested in RMS for quite some time, but haven’t purchased anything yet. Would love to know what nail polish you’re wearing in this video. It’s gorgeous!

[@beautybydez]

Oh thank you so much! I wish I could tell you about the nail polish -but I get them done at my local salon and they use dipping powder, and I don't know what brand, I'm afraid ❤️

[@TinaHBeautifulJourney]

How odd on the smudging. I wonder if either the CT primer or the RMS concealer caused it to break down? Thanks for trying these new brands.

[@beautybydez]

I think as Sandra suggested it could be the primer - will have to keep testing. Happy Sunday ❤

[@evac2294]

Hi Dez, I havent tried either of these brands. I dont usually buy expensive makeup, I do buy medical grade skincare though. As far as the hype that these brands are better for mature women, I dont believe it, its a hype because older women usually have more money to spend than our younger counterparts hence the higher price point. I didnt like the flawless filter under your eyes, while I do think a primer will help, I think a matte one would be better. Whenever we mature women apply a shiney product to our face in my opinion it highlights our flaws.

[@beautybydez]

Ah thanks Eva! I will try a different primer - now that the concept of a primer seems to work I'll find one that's matte. Agree if we can afford medical grade skincare, it's a good investment ❤️

[@maureengreen8695]

Just as make up for older women is a gimmick, so is “medical grade“ anything. There is no regulated standard to determine what medical grade is. It is a simply a marketing term.

[@gardendormouse6479]

About under eye concealers - Milani makes a product called Undereye Brightener in the colors Rose for light skin, and Melon for medium skin tone. They're not shiny, but reflective. They settle into lines much less than traditional concealers. That's what I've been using for awhile.

[@gladysgarrity5721]

Thanks for sharing see you soon I agree the weather here is getting colder ❤

[@CaroleRichardson-x6h]

I think the makeup you are wearing before you started trialling the rms etc. which products were you using please. I can't believe you are 70 fantastic. First time I've seen you will be tuning in again😊

[@beautybydez]

Oh thank you so much, so pleased you enjoyed the video! Re products, they are all listed in the description box and also in the top (pinned) comments - I've separated out the products I was trialling from the others - let me know if you can't find them ❤️

[@karenj4513]

Great video - thank you 😊

[@beautybydez]

Than you ❤️

[@roseyc.5846]

Hi Dez: Well, to start, I'm also allergic to fragrance. The brands I usually stick with aren't high-end, but, they have stood the test of time...Neutrogena, Almay, Physicians Formula and, most all the time, Revlon. My skin is combination and quite sensitive. I'm not certain they're available in UK. I wasn't crazy about the CT Hollywood Filter's effect with the concealer. I always love your lipstick look. May I ask (and, please feel free NOT to answer) if you've tried lip fillers? They are full and lovely. I've not tried RMS or Rumi; however, I always think those dusty rose and berry shades look smashing on you. Love the Rosewood lip oil when you wear that. I generally find the elf hydrating concealer or, Maybelline Fit Me, tend not to crease much on me. Tysm for sharing! Hugs. Rosemarie 🩷

[@beautybydez]

Gosh Almay - I used to use that years ago but I don't see it here in the UK any longer. We do have the other brands but I dont think the product range here is as large as in the US, unfortunately. And no, never used lip fillers - I am so squeamish when it comes to injections 😱 ❤️

[@fionafrazer8820]

Do you wear contacts at all? I put mine on in the morning so I can apply my makeup and see what I'm doing, and then when I'm finished I take them out and put on my glasses! I love to watch the RMS videos - such a glamorous woman. Many professional makeup artists use RMS, but these others I haven't heard of at all. I believe Boomstick Color is also targeted at older women - but I haven't tried it either. I have tried the British brand Look Fabulous Forever, and found it quite good, especially for women who are either new to makeup or don't wear much. I have a feeling it might have been the eyeliner that bled and caused the smudging. Loved the shade of eye shadow with your eye color!

[@beautybydez]

Thanks so much Fiona! I dont wear contacts, no, as I had laser eye surgery to correct my short sightedness - although I now have one eye for reading and one for distance. Not come across Boomstick Colour - will take a peek, thanks! Not tried Look Fabulous Forever either, but have heard of them. I do like the shadow, I must say, but need to learn how to apply it better 😊

[@tinasbestmidlife]

Hi Dez! I have never tried either of these brands. I guess if some makeup marketed to older women and had special ingredients in it that maybe were wrinkle smoothing or something like that, then maybe it would be worth it. I am wondering if the Charlotte Tilbury caused the mascara and eyeshadow to smudge?? The eyeshadow color was very pretty! Loved seeing the footage of you with the hat on! You looked great!❤️ Thanks for the review on these products my sweet friend!

[@beautybydez]

Aww thanks Tina! The hat was stop the damp air getting to my hair - it's a life saver whenever it rains and I'm out and about. Yes I wonder about the CT - I may need to try another type of primer. I need to learn how best to apply the eyeshadow as I love the colour too! Have a great week ❤️❤️❤️

Getting to this now. RMS blush in pomegranate fizzy doesn’t look great on me … every time I wear it I get the the comment.. “it looks like a kindergartener applied your makeup.” People are so kind 😅😂. Love the primer under your eyes… lovely. Have you tried Prime cosmetics? They market to mature women. My mom (82) and I (58)both tried the mascara no luck for our mature lashes. Have seen so many who love the LM brow product. Dont recommend for a natural look? … oh … just listening to the end and so agree with the dodgy marketing 🤨

[@beautybydez]

Oh blimey, how delightful! Prime is another of those brands that sells itself as a family business but it's not- it's another Latvian E-commerce founder based in the States. Love the LM brow pencil - it's the only one that will fill in my gap 😊

[@zenabraithwaite1934]

I think that the eyeshadow that splodged onto your lashes bled through to under your eyes. Ive never tried any of these. Too expensive without seeing someone of similar age and skin type try them. I will buy more expensive products but i don't do it lightly. X
