Mastering Smudge-Free Eye Makeup: Tips for All-Day Wear | Dominique Sachse

[@dominiquesachsetv]

Hey there! I wanted to answer a couple of questions I've been seeing. Many of you are asking about my lip combo. It's Charlotte Tilbury's Angel Alessandra lipstick with Jentry Kelley's My Two Cents lipgloss on top. Also the eye makeup remover I use with waterproof eye make up is Neutrogena's oil-free eye makeup remover that gets rid of waterproof mascara. It's a liquid in a bottle. Thanks for your questions! Hope you're having a good day :)

[@Alicesdream17]

Dearest Dominique, thank you for your positivity in a very negative world. Your light shines bright and brings a little sparkle, which is so needed right now.

[@Oceangirl_505]

Amen! No matter what the topic is in her video, she lifts me up.

[@kristinwatkins2406]

I cried happy tears when I saw that God placed you -Dominque and Fanchon together For Such A Time As This!!! Esther moment !!! We need THiS and Dr Phil’s Vision to turn it around !!! This is spoken by someone who has a friend who does A National morning show NYC … I adore her and she’s lovely but our country is in DIRE need of TRUTH not watered down … Anyway - I love your hints, tips , advice and most of All your heart !!! ❤ I start a new job on Mon too!!! Praying for you / y’all as a Carolina gal!!! 😂I’m doing my makeup while listening , watching and now writing this … Eyeliner top line game changer!!! No mascara below my eyes!!! I need to start w waterproof mascara asap!!!

[@bellastone-le9eb]

I completely agree! She's such a refreshing person!

[@julietoy6895]

Hi Dominique! Love these tips, thank you! I have one of my own to share. If you apply two coats of mascara, use regular mascara for the first coat, and waterproof mascara for the second “top” coat. This way you still get the waterproof protection, but it is easier to remove at the end of the day. I hope this is helpful to others here. 🤗

[@liana2136]

Great idea!

[@630sunshine]

Thanks for the tip!

[@marshaperry1746]

I like how you shared a little about your day…! Happy to know you’re settling in and blooming where God planted you!❤

[@colinbutterfield3839]

Lovely to see you back at doing makeup tutorials ❤❤

[@merrillfagan3146]

Agreed! I’ve missed the makeup tutorials.

[@dianebenetz6589]

I purchased the eyeliner, mascara and primer and you're right it works!!! No more smudges makeup lasts 8+ hours!!! Thanks so much

[@BelindaM44]

I really like the natural lashes, and no false ones. Love your hair as well. Thanks for this video! Very helpful!

[@samc5877]

It's so nice to see you changing up your process, as well as the products. Many people use too much product, which is what leads to cakeyness, regardless of age. Thanks for sharing, and I hope you enjoyed your Sunday ❤

[@CherylBerryl]

Absolutely. However, I never understood the analogy of "if you're young, you can pack on more product". That's when our skin is as perfect as it's EVER going to get! So unless someone has a specific issue that needs extra addressing, then WHY makeup to the point where you look like you're doing "drag" makeup!? Unfortunately, that seems Really common these days, and I think that it looks HORRENDOUS on a young person. If I had a son that brought home a young woman looking like that I would probably Lose it!!!

[@shirlynb148]

What a wonderful day! I’m very pleased with your statement “ I had lunch by myself”. I was divorced for 30 years and never let being alone from stopping me to do anything. Too many people are afraid or think they need a plus one to go to restaurants, movies or even travel. I’m now married but my Mr knows I need my alone time as I’m my own best friend!

[@christinebourlioufas1336]

Well said!

[@vickiepost9465]

What brand was the concealer?? Thx!

[@patanderson6541]

Love your side part!!! Hope you keep that look! Thx for makeup tips. I’m 75 (yikes!) & I have had to find ways to keep undereye makeup from cracking. I think I finally got it, but will try some of your tricks. Long lasting eyeliner is a great idea. My eyes tear when it’s cold or windy, so eyeliner runs off! This getting older is a challenge! But thank God for every day!!! Love ya! 🥰

[@vickiefinney6073]

I bet you look good for your age 😉

[@CoffeewithKathy]

I'm right behind you on age and wondering what concealer you use?

[@patanderson6541]

Ok, here goes. First Cera Ve eye repair cream (let it dry); then Loreal true match correcting concealer in 402, peach neutral; then Maybelline age rewind concealer (don’t know shade). After I apply the Maybelline concealer w/ my finger (tap it in), I stretch my eye from the outside edge to reveal product in creases! Smooth that out. Then use Elf HD powder (white & very fine). Tap over the concealer very lightly. Voila! Stays most of the day. 😊

[@ET76001]

Disagree. Very ageing look on her

[@carolidzerda7177]

Dominique, thank you! ❤ you are such an inspiration. Please, never stop sharing... about anything and everything. So good to hear that you are settling in and have found a Church and getting to know your community 🙏 big hugs.

[@28105wsking]

Dear Dominique, haven't seen your feed in a while and you popped up today. Im so glad to see you are doing okay in Dallas. I think of you often and hope for your happiness! Spring is coming! Daffodils are in bloom in eastern NC and the cherry trees have popped this last rainy week. Still no snow, tho.....sigh. I can't wear eye makeup, - twenty minutes later I look like a raccoon, and my eyes tear all day, but Im so glad you can. YOu always look pretty and Im glad! May all joy be yours always. ..

[@NancyEllenB]

Great video and thank you for all the tips. One thing, though, as someone who suffers from horribly dry eyes and sees an ophthalmologist more often than I'd like to because of extremely dry eyes: Waterproof mascara is actually one of the things can make dry eyes even worse because many of them contain ingredients that can irritate dry eyes. So, while they may - cosmetically - work with the artificial tears we have to use, they may also cause someone to use the tears more.

[@lindabass3025]

Another technique I learned with setting spray is to spray a spray on your finger then pat it under the finished eye. Keep patting until it feels dry (you can tell). It really works for me!!

[@DelaTX]

Yes, I do the same thing. I literally smudge only under one eye…go figure. 😊 The setting spray does work, however.

[@dominiquesachsetv]

Yep! I do the same with a q-tip

[@janinealexa567]

I needed a good tutorial!! This one is for every aging woman ever! Less is definitely more! ❤

[@kathrynwimmert7467]

Thank you for the much needed tips on today’s video, Dominique! I’m glad you are acclimating and enjoying your new home. Also, your hairstyle and color look sensational (as always)! ❤️💋

I am 43 and because of Dominique, I am looking forward to every birthday ahead! I just love your energy! Thank you for always being so real. So exciting to witness your new adventure. We are all blessed to have you in our lives. I am ready for anything. Mascara on my cheeks, bring it!! ❤

I had dry creepy eye lids and under eyes. I started putting castor oil before bed. I was blown away! After about 1 week my eyes look so good and even though there's moisture there, I have no problem with eye makeup staying now.

[@robbib9667]

Yes! Same here. I’m 67 and now I can get away with the CO about 3x a week at bedtime on eyelids and under eye. Great quality CO and just the tiniest drops. Who knew!!🙌🏻💕

Would you mind sharing brand of co you use

[@cocob771]

[@diogenes7047]

I definitely will practice on applying the concealer. It seems that no matter how little I apply, it accentuates the fine lines. Thank you Dominique for helping us all as we age gracefully. Have a lovely weekend, enjoying your new home and surroundings!

[@jenA9026]

About the fine lines .. .I've thought about this. How far are you standing away from the mirror when you see those fine lines? How many people actually see you up that close? And if you do let them in that close, you trust them and they wouldn't care. Stand back at "stranger distance". How visible are the lines from there? Same with lip lines. Also, get a heavily pigmented concealer and rub it between your fingers to "melt" it and thin it out. Then tiny touch your pinky finger in it to pick up tiny amounts at a time. Lightly tap it on the area. Build it slowly. Then get a Q tip and roll it across the area like a tiny paint roller. You can also apply product that way if pinky finger is nit your thing. Dry concealers are the worst. Slippy concealers are the best. If you feel too shiny, get finishing powder and with the tiniest amounts, dab or stamp it. If you've put too much product on you will see the lines though. The most heavily pigmented concealer in my opinion, is dermcol but you need to use MICRO amounts. That stuff is used to cover tattoos, so don't apply it like ordinary makeup. 💜 one tube will last YEARS.

[@diogenes7047]

Thank you so much for the recommendations! These are great tips! @@jenA9026 What a great community we have helping one another!😍

[@denisecaldwell8104]

I use to wear waterproof mascara, until 2 professional make up artist said to only use it for occasions you may cry, weddings and funerals. Evidently, over time, hard on lashes, makes them brittle, then you have a tug of war with wearing the mascara during day, the lash growth serum at night. What's your thoughts? I do enjoy your hair and make up videos and Nikol Johnson. Same age, both do hair, make up and fashion. Jeans to evening ball gowns. Learn much from both of you. From head to toe! Thank you for your ideas and taking time to explain make up techniques. So appreciate!

[@heathergates3790]

Try the Thrive Lash Extensions mascara, it is so good. Never smudges or flakes and when you are ready to take it off just use water and rub slightly down on the lashes and it comes right off. It is a kind of tube on the lashes which is why it comes off easily with water.

[@lisagana]

Sooooo happy you are back with makeup tutorials. Love your short hair. I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on cutting my long hair but every time I get close I have a "good hair day" . Guess I'm just not ready.

Hi Dominique, I totally agree, less is more. I am nearly 65 and have reduced the amount of makeup. Luckily, my makeup does not run, thanks to your advice over the last 10 years. I have just gone into retirement and will now have more time to look after myself and my loved ones. I just love your videos. I just wonder, wouldn´t you feel better being back in Texas? You know, your skin is the mirror of your soul,. Your skin is telling you that something isn´t right. I´m so sorry Dominique, but I feel that you should return to Texas.

I stopped wearing liner and mascara on my bottom lash after reading an article about 20 years ago for how to appear younger. Now, in my 50s, I've found this has helped to reduce the swiping and wiping on the delicate skin under my eye, which has reduced crinkles in this area. Not for everyone, just a share.

Neutrogena makes a good liquid make up remover for waterproof make up. 👍🏻

Pure gold advice re the placement of the products. I also look forward to trying the concealer as find many of them too dry, so really appreciate the tip.
