I Didn't Think This Would Work😳 | Nikol Johnson

[@lizm4557]

You have such a beautiful spirit. I enjoy listening to you! You have both inner and outer beauty!

[@LiliAnderson-hi6qy]

Hi, Nikol. Every show of yours I watch teaches me something. The idea of trying a different palette sounds like fun. Also, swirling the bronzer up into the blush answers one of my questions. Thank you for being here. You lift my spirits and remind me that I am beautiful, so I am learning to lift my own spirits! Thank you again!!

[@KimberlyBoyd-y9p]

Definitely as I’ve got older I have had problems with puffy eyes I’m glad you talk about real stuff that helps love all your stuff ❤

[@res1718]

the more I see you and hear you, the more I love you-because you make me realize there are still people in the world who are good, clean - beautiful inside and out. Thank you! I love your shorts too and of course I love your new line and can't wait to see your new palette!

[@11212lala]

Always love watching you do the makeup. I switched to doing my eyes first since I started watching you. It’s the best tip ever. Clean up and then my makeup is about done! Makes applying makeup more enjoyable and faster. Can not do eyes without the primer. It’s a must for us olive skinned gals! See ya next time! Hit the bell girls so you don’t miss a video! 🤍🔔

[@carrieminns]

So pretty! I love this look. The pinky-peach lips with the gray lids. Beautiful! Thank you!

[@Lillaurig71]

I did not know dry eye can be related to menopause. I was diagnosed with extremw dry eye and was prescribed Restaysis. It has worked really well but nice to know there could be a natural option. My ophthalmologist recomended putting a warm compress on everyday to lubricate the eyes as well. Love your channel! Thank you!

[@aprilrich807]

I need to thank you for giving me the confidence to continue on my letting my graying hair show itself! While I’ve never been one to completely cover it (partial weaves), I did get tired of the expense and the 4 hours in the chair. I just got a haircut and have about 6 inches of “old” hair left to go. I wish I’d done this sooner-it’s so even (gray/blond/brown), and beautiful!!

[@lynnjones7381]

I love your videos, if I need a pick me up and a smile I watch your fashion shorts. You have so much fun with it, it’s infectious. You are a stunning woman! I don’t do as much makeup as you, my lifestyle is different than yours, but your makeup tutorials have helped me perfect what I do. I bought your mascara and liner they are great. I always knew mascara was about the brush as well as the formula. I will be 69 in a month, I have since January of 2023 lost 65 pounds, (very proud of that)🎉. Keep up the good work and make more fashion clips they are so fun.

[@moonlightshadow2664]

I have to use an eye gel in the day, called Viscotears, and one called Hylonight for during night hours. It's imperative that I use these two products. For anybody with very dry eye syndrome, the usual type of drops etc are not enough .

[@vikkiflaig4735]

Agreed. Nighttime ones are usually and ointment to do before bed usually. Put small ribbon lower eye " pocket" by pulling down inner to outer. Just what I learned using eye ointment at night and nursing school.

[@selectiveoutrage6617]

Have you tried Restasis 2x daily? I've used it for years and it works except on a few very dry days in the desert. Then I use Boiron Optique drops for extra moisture. But it's good to know of other products just in case.

[@GailSilverman-vy5qi]

I love your videos because you are real in explaining what to use makeup and other important matters to you and your audience. Thank you.

[@joyceb8174]

I love that you focus on what issues we all have/will possibly get.. and you give the tips and or tricks to help correct; and that your looking for more healthy ways to counteract those issues.. Thanks for your honesty with us❤

[@nickitighe9163]

Love tutorials. You’re way of applying the makeup, the colors you use help with aging skin to make it glow. I’m 71 and taken care of my skin all my life. Wrinkles are coming. Blemishes are coming. Your way of applying make up and your products has helped me feel better, then using what I used to use, which was heavier and got in the creases. I truly love your product and I so enjoy your tutorials the way that you shy away from using needles and a lot of the other things that another person Is using. You do it in the real world and practical. Yes, some of the make up is a little expensive but it’s worth the value and the result. Thank you so much.

[@susanwilford1763]

I just wanted to say “Thank you” for your video on Dashing Diva nails! You have SAVED my nails from the way they used to peel and split when I was using polish!! I have shared the info and company with sisters and friends and they say “Thank you”, too!! You are a refreshing inspiration to all of us “Older” women. Bless you!❤

[@purejoy1985]

I just found this channel one day trying to escape celebrity gossip. I had almost forgotten there is other content that exists too 😂. Ran across a fashion short that was so amazing and just loved the hair and color along with the outfit you created!! So many around me rather dye their hair, but I will not. Just saw my 1st strand a few days ago, and I'm grateful, especially if I make it to see it fully turn. It just says to me I've lived through it all and still here. No desire to hide it or rewind time. Thanks for the inspiration and keep being you!! ❤🙏🏿

[@christinebartholomew5180]

I admit to my grey hair, and yup I earned every single one. BUT, now I can afford and find the stuff to dye my hair any color or scope of colors I want. My parents can't tell me no either. My only barrier is when I want to do extras, like highlights or low lights. Then my husband has to help. He doesn't mind doing, just works a lot.

[@BarbaraSmith-y1q]

I recently purchased a bunch of your makeup and I love it all. Thank you for devoting so much time and energy in formulating it. The lipsticks are especially awesome!

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you I love hearing this 😘😘

[@librariangal]

I love that you said "you don't need plastic surgery" and "makeup is an illusion", Nikol. ❤

[@pattymaxrealtor3412]

My ophthalmologist diagnosed me with extreme dry eye which was really affecting my sight. He had me put in drops ten times a day for a couple of weeks and rechecked me. Along with the drops I also stopped using Retin A, washing my hands then using my eye cream. There was a noticeable difference. While I don’t use retinal products on my eyes there is residue on my finger tips that could be cross contaminating my eye cream.

[@vikkiflaig4735]

Great info.

[@sharronr]

Retin A and hyaluronic acid both pull moisture from the eyes. I absolutely cannot use either. I keep hearing more and more women having dry eyes. I wish ophthalmologists knew the cause.

[@Jaylo1954]

I’ve had dry eyes for years-probably from too much iPhone/iPad/PC use. The dry heat during the winter too contributes. This past winter has been pretty bad on my eyes. I have used Restasis eye drops for years and recently started putting ointment in my eyes overnight. That has helped a lot. The biggest improvement has been after I started to use nonprescription contacts given to me by my optometrist. What a game changer! I keep them in for a month at a time. They keep the moisture in my eye, and my eyes have improved 75% so far!

[@sharonm.t.2492]

This is a very elegant, subtle yet striking (in a good way) - pretty look.

[@marilynphillips124]

I had dry eye and floaters about 6 months ago. I started spreading a little bit of castor oil on my finger and gently rub on your eye lids and in a matter of a couple of weeks thay have gone. I do it every night. Recommend 100%

[@glendagai]

I have had a problem with dry eye for years. I even have implants put in my tear ducts on a regular basis along with eye drops etc. I am open to this product. I will try any thing .

[@pilydumbolton5548]

I am 61, and feel like finally I know what I am doing in regards my makeup. I look and feel pretty. Thank you Nikol.My big problem is dark circles under my eyes; but I am getting there with color correction. Thank you for your time and effort doing this videos for us. Always a fan ❤

[@nancycurtis3964]

Invizia is an excellent eye drop for dry eyes. Also, castor oil is truly amazing for brows, lashes, under-eye bags, everything! And, bonus feature, it is great for dry eye. Many dry eye remedies contain castor oil! (Organic, hexane-free, in a glass bottle.)

[@Cessnagirly]

Nikol I will try this PAAVANI Ayurvedic Eye Wash. I have very dry eyes and blephara spasms. I can't wear any eye make-up with the exception of eye pencil on the upper lid. I really love the way you wear your eye make-up wish I could do that. Thank you, love the look!

[@bettycesky4947]

I use the same face cloths, love them.

[@MichelleR.-gl2xc]

I recently bought some of your makeup (creme blush and lip liner) and love the complementary colors. I'm also a big appreciator of your positive message for mature women (I don't like the term "fan"). If I had a wish or two regarding the presents I ordered for myself (i DO love "presents"!), I'd ask that the creme blush last longer and that there were less packaging waste. The rose-covered box inside yet another box seemed excessive - despite the obvious aesthetic appeal of the packaging. Perhaps just wrap the items in rose-printed paper and mail them in the smallest possible box or pouch? Not as pretty, admittedly, but better for the environment. Meanwhile, keep doing what you do. It's all gorgeous and uplifting!

[@trishbech9082]

Beautiful look Nikol! Really fresh evening choice. Thank You for the great advice too. ❤ 😊 I have to say I sit with my cappuccino and watch your latest video… becoming a Monday morning routine I look forward to and actually carve out my time to watch! 😊 I really appreciate your pep talks and wellness shares. I feel like I’ve had chat time and a makeup lesson with a girlfriend, especially when things get really funny! 😆 We all had those moments of “what am I doing?” lol then “You’re going to be looking up my nose” haha Thanks for being so genuine Nikol. Have a wonderful week!

[@karenj49]

Eye washing has been around for decades….i understand the wisdom behind it. Eye drops (Systane is what I use) are refreshing, but so many chemicals! Thanks for the suggestion. ❤

[@karenlavigne1108]

Thank you for mentioning dry eyes. It’s frustrating, I have tried so many products & nothing has helped. I will try this!

[@rosalindmartz6585]

Love your videos. I go back and review 1 or 2 of them during the week. Learning from your techniques have made my make up procedure more confident. Friends have even noticed and made compliments on how my make up appears more natural.

Just beautiful! I love ALL of your tutorials. I have gray hair too, and a look I totally love is gray eyebrows with gray hair. I think it's a very classy look. Problem is the closest color to gray I can find is taupe, which just doesn't do it. Would you ever consider developing a true gray brow mascara?I'm looking forward to thr new shadow pallette! I'm always blown away by the outstanding quality of all of the products I've purchased from your line. Thank you so much!

[@marniemcnulty9118]

You can use your brightening powder to diffuse intense color or use a clean brush to blend everything out.

[@christinebartholomew5180]

I live in Hawaii and had just about given up on makeup. It just sweats off, period. On a whim I asked at the Macy's counter how they kept their makeup on. It was a resounding Estee' Lauder 24 hour. They were so funny, like they had a 13 year old getting her first makeup 😂. Anyway I wound up with a written out sheet of paper of items they all sore by, not all Macy's stuff either, and about a half a bottles worth of samples. One of the older ladies suggested the setting spray stuff, but she said to use it lightly between layers. Well it worked and I loved it. Then I found Sephora. ❤ love at first sight.

[@staceyschuler5992]

Would you ever do a video where you try on each of your lipsticks so we can see the colors? And you look stunning in this look! Thank u!

[@SunSeaSurf]

I am 66 years old and my grandmother and mother always had Optrex eye lotion which came with an eye cup and it was used the very same way as the one you are using. It was upsetting when we could no longer get the Optrex with the cup. It was so refreshing to use, especially at night after all the eye makeup was removed.

[@turnbacktime65]

Thanks for the reminder. Now I happily remember my grandmas. Loved her so much.😊

[@samanthapolakov9498]

Try the Bausch and Lomb eyewash … seems like it would do the same thing. CVS and Walgreens and other drug stores probably make the same thing under their private label.

Hi Nikol. I enjoyed your video so much. I stopped the video after only a few minutes and purchased Eye Ritual. I suffer so badly from dry eye. I will do in addition to my dry eye ointments. I am sooo Thankful to you. I just finished watching the rest of the video and love your technique for eye shadow application. So beautiful. All these years, I just thought I will never master eye shadow. Because of you, I am learning that I am trainable. Thank You So Much. ❤️

[@rebeccacurrent306]

Hi Nikol! I am so sorry you have dry eyes. I was diagnosed with Sjogrens, which is an autoimmune disease. One of the symptoms is severe dry eye. In fact, it was my eye doctor who caught it. Anyways, they have me on Restasis. It works great! Plus, you may want to look into Scleral contacts. They are good for those with dry eyes. I just got mine, because I also have a corneal disease called Keratoconus. So, they kill 2 birds with one stone. They are expensive, but I was lucky that my insurance covered them since they are medically necessary. They are a hard lens, but they are so comfortable, because they are not like regular contacts. They also don’t have to be replaced like regular contacts. It might be something you’d like to look into. Love your videos! 💕💕

Hi Nikol, thank you for another wonderful video. I totally sympathise with the dry, inflamed, hot eyes. I am in my late 50's, I has had this very bad for years now and try lots to help it. I stumbled across reusable metal? square ice cubes, you freeze them, I then wrap them in a cool damp muslin cloth and gently hold for a second or two working my way round the eye socket, I still use eye my drops but cubes have given me better and longer lasting results than anything I have tried for the puffy hot side of the problem.
