Classic Caroline.... LOVE this!!!! Wow, aren't affordable products amazing nowadays? You used to be able to tell them apart from higher end products on someones face a mile off, now these non-budget busters plus your amazing application tips are just the perfect combination. Also much joy for your normalising of bloopers and showing how to correct, it's this being real that makes you so easy to connect with and know that you're 'one of us'. Thank you so much, Caroline, your videos on a Saturday morning are so appreciated and looked forward to. X

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

What a wonderful comment much appreciated 💋💋💋

[@MartinaMcDonagh]

Lovely - the lip colour is amazing, so flattering on you Caroline! One of my favourite looks. Learning so much with your trial and error, the 2nd blusher again very flattering on your colouring. Totally love the perfected skin with subtle colours, added to the punchier cheek/ lip. Will give this a try. Definitely love to see more of 'your mates' in your videos as it's always helpful to see other people with different hair colours/ skin tones, etc.. 💖💖💖

[@sudo1529]

Always like having a hot cuppa tea when it's time for Caroline on a Saturday ❤❤❤❤

[@nikkimonk1753]

I think most makeup artists presume that if you are in your late 40’s early 50,s that you have dry skin or are dehydrated, both of which I’m not. I have oily/combo skin so would love to see more make up and pore filling products/makeup for this skin type. Thanks 😊

[@kate7621]

yes, we oily girls need some love too!!

[@mandd4963]

It was really useful when you showed how to take down the brightness of the blush. Such a great result x

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Glad it was helpful!

[@melissamartin3310]

Lots of different brands used, you had me at bourjois!! My 17 year old self thought she had really made it when I purchased a French named brand and it was the most beautiful blush. Nostalgic ❤

[@gillyemsley4870]

Hi Caro, that is a beautiful colour on you. Have a great weekend ❤❤❤

[@gardenhappy4]

When I was growing up it was easy to find Max Factor products in the United States, but now not so much. Hope the brand makes a reappearance here. Thanks for all the tips.

[@kate7621]

me too

[@jennyhicks1930]

I’ve spent hundreds on various foundations and yet my ultimate favourite is L’Oreal infallible pro glow, everything about it is perfect even the shade range for my difficult to match light neutral skin ( I often have to buy two shades and mix them ) I’m not buying any more expensive foundations anymore !! Great video xx

[@bridgetware8841]

That lipstick is fab on you Caroline! And thanks for the ‘smooshing’ tip 👌🏻👍🏻😊

[@karenc8333]

Appreciate how natural your approach is Caroline. Lovely relaxed style and not super edited...you really keep it real ....loved the blush moment, lol 😂!! Thank-you xx

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Thank you karen 😁

[@helenfrancis2915]

I always look forward to Saturday ‘Caroline’ day! I need to keep reinforcing the gradual building up on skin, to stop myself being too heavy handed. You always pull a look together like a work of art - your eye for tone and colour is spot on. And such fun and positivity too ❤

[@emmag6255]

This has made me realise that I can have lovely products within my affordability! Thank you Caroline! I’ve only just discovered you on KZbin and loving your channel! ❤

[@BeeKay4444]

Weekend MADE! Thank you Caroline for such great ideas with affordably priced products.

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

You are so welcome!

[@carolinerabjohn9323]

I enjoy whatever topic you cover. Always enjoyable. Thank you.

[@emwoollams7565]

New to your channel, enjoyed your practical and down to earth way of applying make up. I love watching make up reviews and tutorials but some just make it so complicated with a million different brushes. Looking forward to seeing your other videos. Thanks 👍🏼

[@abbysadventures274]

YOU HAVE NAILED IT YET AGAIN !!!! Think I requested this video a little while ago 😊 for us folks working as carers and workers on minimum wage etc !! You truly are top of the tree in your artistry !! Thankyou so so much !! ❤❤❤

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Awwwwwww ☺️

[@vernamason9435]

I love that lipstick colour on you with your blonde hair. At the end of the day who knows how many people would know what an expensive face of make up is compared to drugstore? Oh and I had not realised that Bourgeois had gone and come back. I must go and hunt some out. Another lovely tutorial thanks Caroline. By the way my son who is no longer a teenager would not have got the door either…it gets no easier!

[@fionafrazer8820]

The Bourjois blushes are gorgeous!! The berry lippie is perfect too! The whole look is glorious.

[@kimberleestern]

I love hearing how you build a look / select shades. Super helpful!

[@sandilang3845]

I enjoyed this video so much, you look lovely and have an adorable personality.

[@nicolamarshall5653]

You had me at "...And breathe, teenager didn't hear the door" 🙂I think many of us can relate to your videas on so many levels, thank you!

[@catrinjohnson6215]

Lush! Oh you made me chuckle with the door! Exactly the same here 😂 I'm after a new lippie for my handbag but tend to veer away from mattes because of the dryness. I'll definitely take a look at Revolution. Thank you 😊

[@juliedavies170]

As always you give me such great tips on how to get the best from my make up application. I have relatively small lips and find putting lipstick on a bit hit or miss, so your tips today will help me a lot to get my lips looking somewhat better than they are when nude 😁. Love your final look, I’ve been using and liking a few cheaper makes, Revolution, Elf and Revlon. Certainly on par with the higher end makes I use. You’ve made me smile again, so I can say “ Caroline, your work is done “ 😂. Until the next video……

[@sallykirkwood5449]

Beautiful makeup, you’ve taught me so much over the years & always with joy ❤ ps yes, love you bringing in some friends too & I have to say I greatly appreciate that they are ‘our age’, it’s refreshing & relatable 😊

[@leluefran]

Classic!

[@JacquieLineStudio28]

Love your easy going style Caroline and loved you and Fiona together too! I like to try out your application tips as you have a 'less is more' vibe - I don't go in for heavy make up.

[@vikkiwalker1706]

This is such a fantastic video, I’ve been watching this on my iPad and noting everything down on my phone for when I next go to Boots 😊😊. Love hearing you speak about the thought process of each product - thanks Caroline 😊😊 xx

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Now that’s organised!!!!

[@AmandaStJohnMakeup]

Oh yes please - would love some Bridal makeup videos please 💖

[@josimpson7999]

A massive thank you for the Revolution Soft Satin lipstick recommendation Caroline 👏🏻. I’m normally a Charlotte Tilbury girl but decided to try these and they are amazing. I got the Berry Boss (not my usual shade, but getting adventurous in my old age) plus x2 others. Superdrug have them on 3 for 2 at the moment, what a bargain! Love, love, love them. Thank you so much 😊 PS Best lipsticks I’ve tried in a long time.

[@lynnefusco5320]

Lovely look Caroline we learn so much from you ❤️

[@naomismith4933]

ELF Lash Xtndr is amazing high street tubing mascara available in 3 colours

[@janerobinson6894]

The smell of the bourgeois blushers was the first thing I thought of before you opened it! So nostalgic ❤

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Yes!!!!

[@lilychang3785]

Caroline, I am just amazed how you always manage to transform your look to another level! Love the way you play with color ❤

[@suzewuk]

Love your vids Saturday mornings ... they always soothe & inspire with tips and recommendations. Thanks so much for all your time & wisdom ❤

[@amberatartimec2564]

Oh, this was enjoyable thanks

[@sarahhammond103]

Another great lesson, Caroline! Thank you. You make it look so effortless and fluid - I guess that’s the ‘artist’ bit.

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Let’s hope so 😂😂😂

[@karenlangley8254]

Love the look 😊

[@kellylody7928]

Caroline you are a beautiful soul - I enjoyed this so much. Amazing what’s on the high street

[@pennystewart7728]

Hi, Caroline could you please recommend a really good pair of eyelash curlers please. Thanks so much ❤

[@TheGalactica2001]

I love this video! And some of the products are actually available where I live, so I'll definitely be checking them out. Could I (very humbly 😁) ask for a tutorial or some tips on eye makeup for green eyes with ashy hair?

[@RobertaBriffa]

Caroline, I just love that your videos are not heavily edited. And that blush trick to remove the excess! This happens to me a lot 😂 but now I know how to fix it properly! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@teapot1991]

The Revolution foundation reminds me of the Clarins tinted oleo serum one they have launched. Great video as always..❤

[@lhblu3]

Your look lovely Caroline ❤

[@kew9029]

Wow! My favourite look to date! So simple! So reasonable! So effective!! So accessible! Perfect for all of us in our late 40's 💛

[@thongsookviengkone7128]

That look great !

[@yelyzavetapigaryeva110]

Oh this is so helpful, thank you 🙏🏼 really liked the Rimmel product.. off I go to buy 😊

[@AMG-qn6jx]

Stunning as usual. Would love to see some “mates” . Bridal yes . Any tips for matte lipstick.

[@lisannaelm9464]

Watching you every week! Love you!!

[@audreyso1201]

A real sun Caroline, a beautiful spring makeup, i love it, have a good week end🌞🌞🌞

[@marypricehilton449]

Another fab blush tip! Brilliant! Thanks 🎉

[@julesscarborough2619]

Ooh love it!! Stunning as always ❤ I have a teenager who ignores the door too lol!

[@delanahealey4862]

Loved this video. Thank you, Caroline. ❤😊

[@MsM2468]

Loved watching this Caroline! Thank you for taking the guess work out of choosing makeup from the high street. Enjoy your weekend and have a great week ahead xx

[@Malithi-P]

Hi Caroline, enjoyed watching! Thanks for the tips. It makes such a difference. X

[@brendthetrend]

Fab thanks Caroline some great products for us to try thanks for the link as well great treat

[@jillianpurdy2542]

[@ZUZU6485]

Fab video, this products looks great x

[@Pia_Beate_de]

I love your videos, fun to listen, great humor, full of positivity, even hilarious today… and thank you for your great content!❤️ I appreciate your tipps and tricks which have helped me to improve my makeup looks immensely . Thank you, Caroline

[@lisadougherty5999]

Great look Caroline! Always keeping it real! 💄☕

[@sherees3684]

A lovely look & yes please more tips/ products for oily skin 😊

[@libbyrouleau89]

What a beautiful classy look on you! Thank you as always for or your helpful tips, especially the concealer/powder around the nose. I am always trying to cover the redness here but as soon as i go outside I have to blow my nose and its all for naught. 😂 The lipsticks are so pretty.

[@dorothyevans3864]

Wow, gorgeous! Great to see how you chose which colour to use on cheeks and lips. And, yes, I had my usual “what have you done?!” moment. 😅❤😊

[@user-le3iu2gx7l]

That's a beautiful look. I would have gone for the original blusher but your final choice looked the best 😊. Love those gold earrings! AND my teenage boys never answer the front door...don't think they know what the doorbell means...! Thanks for lovely Saturday morning with cuppa again x

[@rach890]

You’re a ray of sunshine… look forward to my Saturday morning watch📹💅🏻💄 Please can you do a “mother of the groom” make up too - I have 18mths to prepare 😅😂😂

[@moiragarner1253]

I love the Milani blusher because it’s pigmented so I can give your technique a go to calm it down 😊

[@jackiemonk3542]

Love this video. The lipstick looks do nice, not flat as most mattes look. I'd try this one as I normally go for a satin finish.

[@kq1613]

Fabulous as ever 💙💙💙

[@meckismicki]

Caroline You're just genius! I hope to be seeing some of these products in the US. Or I'll have to wait until I go on Holiday & then it's already late Spring!

[@florindalucero3236]

Would you make a film about cream blush? There aren’t many brands that make it (surprisingly), when I went to the Sephora website there were only 3 products shown, and at the drugstore I found only 1. I have enormous pores, and powder blush just sits on top, exacerbating. There are sticks that are “cheeks lips eyes”, but for whatever reason those always make my cheeks break out.

[@keepfitgirl8191]

That mascara looked amazing! Let us know if it yields results. Btw my favourite cheaper blush is the Max Factor Creme Puff blush. It's so good and one of the only blushes I have rebought multiple times. Emma x

[@rachelharris8956]

Thanks for showing how to correct overdone blusher, that will come in handy this weekend as I'm trying the Fenty cream blusher😂 Really enjoy your videos with my big mug of tea and a bacon sandwich on a Saturday morning. ❤

[@echomoonstar8235]

I just love your channel and how you chat with us as if we are all your friends ❤️

[@zoemitchell7224]

Love your hoop earrings Caroline. I've been trying to find something similar.

[@ninak8506]

So I missed morning coffee with Caroline because I was running out the door. But my evening with you was just as good. LOVE this video. The lipstick is killer! I've descovered some revolution cleansers & moisturizers and am eager to get my hands on the makeup. Thank you! 💄❣️

[@magdawojcik1854]

Morning Caroline, first check on my weekend list -watching your video first thing in the morning, ✔️ Love the look, especially the mascara(impressive 👍)have a great weekend

[@Lilsterlaw]

Love this and your chat ❤

[@greyfeather7857]

So true that as we get older we don’t spend time getting ready with our friends 💋such fun to watch you trying out new products. I’m a similar skin and eye colour to you, albeit a few years older,so I find the colours you choose helpful. Maybe if you have friends on your channel it would be interesting to see someone with a different skin tone and eye colour? Personally I love it when your mum visits 😆Thanks for showing us fab new products to try 👍🏻💄

[@louisedalling8664]

Beautiful, simple makeup look. I’ve just bought some of the products you used! Thanks for finding some ‘cheapy but goodie’ products. Feels like I can have a little treat without worrying about spending a fortune. 🥰

[@Sarah-bq2md]

Beautiful Caroline! Love the look you came up with, gorgeous with your creamy top. Biggest takeaway for me is to experiment with more punchy color on lips and cheeks. I tend to always go timid. As always, you inspire us! 💗

[@samanthabeeley4989]

The revolution is my go to foundation after years of premium brands I’ve been soooo impressed with this foundation 😍

[@lisajones7003]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this video!😊 All your videos are super but this was a really good one! Thank you for always making them so realistic!

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Ahh cheers 😁

[@user-vy5bx5xy1q]

Loved this, thank you Caroline. I had a gun metal bourgeois eyeshadow, which I used to wear when I went out clubbing in the 90’s. Thought I was the bees knees ❤ If any consolation teenage girls also don’t answer the door 😂

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

😂

[@janelemberg2723]

I love the look. I wish we could get Max Factor and Rimmel in the States. That eyeshadow quad is my comfort level. Be well!

[@cindywharton5558]

I wish we had Colourpop in the uk, some of the eyeshadow palettes are lovely.

[@maxinemewis4300]

Hi Caroline! Omggg! Those bourgeois (probably spelt wrong sorry) but THE SECOND you mentioned the smell, I was transported back to the early 90’s and getting ready in my bedroom with my mates! 😆 and I could smell it! How bizarre! They were beautiful blushers! I had a few and wore them for years ☺️ so nostalgic 🫶🏻 thank you! Much love xxx

[@lauravu1034]

I just got ready with you this moraine Caroline and you're the best! It's like applying makeup with a friend, plus your tips are so so helpful. I always learn something new thanks to your videos. You look stunning with or without makeup on and your personality just shines through all of your videos! Love from Paris !

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Awwwwee thank you needed to hear this today 😃

[@kinseyhop2016]

Love watching your videos, now in my 40s and trying to find what suits my skin and colours . Especially my foundation shade.. I had been looking at the revolution silk. Any tips on finding the best shade to suit?..💕

[@tallisinwonderland4724]

The Revolution blush looks like a dupe for Mac peaches. You recommended lash freak by rimmel last year, it’s soooo good and I normally use high end mascara. The lipsticks remind me of a dupe for the new Westman atelier ones

[@joanmills2294]

Enjoyed this! Thanks! Did you know you can put regular nail polish over gel nails? you can take it off with nail polish remover and the gel isn't damaged.

[@judithjohnson405]

Thank you Caroline, brilliant as always. Funnily enough I was looking at Dermatica yesterday so your code is very timely and has made up my mind for me!! x

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Wonderful!

[@juliedubberley1192]

Been using Dermatica Tretinoin for years and just started using their 15% vit c serum, love it and reasonable price. X

[@mafish7962]

Lovely ❤

[@yvettemunoz3014]

Nice look. I really wanted to see how the red lip would have looked.

[@MSchipper]

Those colours look absolutely beautiful on you! Love the combination of lip and cheek. I wish I was better at that... Could you do a video on lip - cheek combo's please? What to avoid, warm vs cool tones, which colours and tones go together? Good ol' Bourjois.... Loved those products when I was younger. Didn't L'Oreal have scented blushes some eight years ago? Maybe they still have them.

[@amandacarroll7034]

Teenager not answering door, hilarious! We’ve all been there, deep breaths and count to 10! 😂😂😂

[@sbo5267]

Dear Caroline, thank you again! I used to watch and follow other makeup artists or youtubers but gave that up as none of them is so funny, creative and classic at the same time, innovative and down-to-earth as you. I very much appreciate all the tips you are so kind to share with us. Although I cannot recreate it because of different features , my makeup has significantly improved bearing in mind all your wonderful tips. You deserve much more attention at least here. Looking forward to your next videos, xx

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Oh gosh what a beautiful message made me teary 🥲

[@The_Viking_Highlander]

I love it when say 'frock'. You're showing your age Caroline. We used to say frock in the 80's. Beautiful look, but you always look beautiful and you're so relatable. When you came back from answering the door saying 'Just breathe, bloody teenagers', I laughed out loud.

[@sunchyme-om4ow]

Thank you for the code Caroline! I was always blessed with clear skin but when I hit 44 suddenly have rosacea across my cheeks with a really bumpy texture that even thick foundation wont seem to cover! Its so frustrating, I have been trying The Ordinary barrier serum but that hasnt helped, so think its time to bring out the big guns. Paying for the years I didn't take care of my skin because I didn't really have to I guess. Have a lovely weekend! x

[@dolphin7216]

You could try Rosalique which is a combination of treatment and make -up. Caroline alerted me to it and it really helps.
