BEST MAKEUP RELEASES OF 2023 SO FAR | OVER 40

[@elianazapata8461]

You are beautiful Gemma! The only thing I think could be better, is matching the undertones, the top is a cool undertone but the lip is very warm, maybe a cool undertone lip and eyeshadow would be more harmonious!

[@legalpuppy8602]

How can you say that you aren't your best today? You look even better than usual today and that's no lie. P.S. Your hair looks great too. I can't imagine anyone saying otherwise.

[@rnelson13]

YSL Lash Clash is THE best hands down 🙌🏽

[@shannonsmith2526]

Nothing is wrong with your look today. Your always so beautiful 😊

[@LoveMyGSDs]

Well, I think you look beautiful today, I think possibly what your eye is picking up on is the contrast between your lipstick, which is super warm, and your shirt, which is really cool.

[@trppro7640]

You look great. Do not see a thing wrong. Look lovely.

[@idisruiz9982]

You look great! Your shirt looks great also, but I think the disconnect is your makeup is on the warm side, and your shirt is super cool tone. So maybe a balance issue? ❤

[@deborahmylonas4750]

You look even better than usual.x

[@stylewithishi]

I think it’s the best look everrrrrr…also usually you wear tank tops in your videos so you aren’t used to see yourself in an oversized shirt.. But sweetheart ,,, you look stunning and cool and sassy and according to me it’s the best look ever .. you look so good in oversized shirts.. please continue wearing.. gives a lovely silhouette ❤

[@JeanieD]

I love the e.l.f. contour wand! The fair/light is the only one I’ve found that looks natural on me.

[@clairmorris8104]

I bought the NARS powder based on your review and I absolutely love it!

[@janelleeldridge3639]

I love the flawless weightless foundation- I’m 44 and it’s the best foundation I’ve ever tried!

[@barbarateterus8252]

I loved the look today… blue looks very nice on you I am loving Merit’s Solo Eyeshadows very much this summer …especially Vachetta & Brun

[@kathleendalton175]

You look beautiful!! I love the shirt and your videos are great keep up the good work ♥️

[@leneskov5184]

My favourite mascara is fro Clarins - the Wonder Perfect 4 D. Nobody ever talks about this, but it is great and easy to remove.

[@redouteshabby2024]

Favorite new mascara is Victoria Beckham's Vast Lash! Lovely! Oh, and I love the new RMS blush Bohemian Girl!

[@susettrankin2359]

Stop It ! You are always so pulled together. Love your humor and your content !

[@marianne5288]

You look absolutely stunning!

[@whinny028]

My favorite mascara this year is the YSL Lash Clash. It makes your lashes look like you are wearing false lashes. Totally worth the money!

[@ruthzorrilla4153]

You looks amazing,the stripe blouse fits you fantastic. Love it❤

[@deborahanderson1686]

You did a beautiful job with this video! You look gorgeous, as always! I love the Tower 28 mascara. Thanks for all you share with us! ❤

[@karenover50]

You look beautiful. Your hair looks full and healthy and love the little bit of wave. Maybe it’s the lip color because you look just beautiful. Skin glowing eyes sparkling.

[@scul4219]

Lip color, yes we’ve all been there! You always look smashing no matter what!

[@patkern185]

Hi, Gemma! As your shade twin, I really appreciate that you provided color and undertone information on the products you've highlighted today. Some of these products are on my "to buy" list. Recently I've been over the moon with Bobbi Brown's Smokey Eye Mascara. It gives my invisible, short, wimpy lashes the longest, fluttery lashes I've ever had with no gloopiness! I first bought it in a set with an eye shadow palette and was so impressed i bought 2 more as backups! 😂XXOO ❤️

[@PamperedWolf]

I’ll give it a go Pat. Thank you for the tip xxx

[@jennifermorrison229]

Everything looks great to me. I love that blue shirt on you. Makeup is gorgeous!

[@juliewigley5781]

I bought the mua pallets on your recommendation…. LOVE THEM! I have the Glam pallet and was in the fence about the nude pallet..l until now! Ordered 😊

[@liresi8]

Great video! My favorites of 2023: Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint, Givenchy Prisme Libre blushes (launched in US last month), Natasha Denona I need a Nude, YSL Mini Clutch Eyeshadow quad (Babylon Rose), Pat McGrath Passion Fleur Quad, Tower 28 concealer, Lisa Eldridge Velvet Bloom lipstick. (Ouch, I am now realizing I bought a lot this year!)

[@jann3443]

I do love the Elf lipstick, too, Gemma. Hustle is my favorite! 2023 releases I love: Tower 28 mascara, GXVE powder blush duo in Flirty Talk and Caliray setting spray. 🥰

[@stomas5640]

After using all high-end mascara, I decided to try the L’Oreal telescopic mascara love it will continue to use it

[@jwarnke4]

Nothing wrong-you look great!

[@jackieturner4144]

gemma i've always got a few over size shirts on hand got to have some comfort xx

[@chickenjools]

The MUA palettes are absolutely astonishing but especially at the price. I don’t usually like to use powder shadow as my eyelids are a bit crepey now but I can wear these without a problem.

[@debbieotoole1072]

Ok, so for 2023 the Guerlain terracotta la teint foundation is gorgeous i love it and the Laura Mericier flawless weightless foundation beautiful. ND concealer is fantastic 👌 and absolutely loving her colour corrector aswell, I've just started using the Haus Labs concealer so can't give my option on that yet. Milk makeup contour stick in toasted is brilliant blends like a dream, Milk also released new shades of the stick blush this year and i tried enigma and it's a lovely shade and again blends like a dream, Rose inc released new shades of the cream blush and i got hydrangea it's a lovely muted pink. Saie glow sculpt in pinkglow is a beautiful cream highlighter. CT blush wand in peach pop is gorgeous and her glow glide architect highlighter in moonlit glow is gorgeous. Really loving the Hourglass jellyfish palette. The Nars soft matte perfecting powder in cliff i think is great for touche ups when I've had my foundation on for a few hours. That's when i like to use that. ND Yucca palette is fantastic i love it and the i need a nude midi is beautiful. So smaller indie brands Cosmic brushes Muse palette is amazing and for the price 😮 and the Delicious delights palette is and great palette. Blend bunny sugar and grudge palette fantastic, Unearthly cosmetics x Heather Austin Resurgence palette beautiful. Oden's eye Flora palette beautiful. Viseart fleurette amour face palette is beautiful that purple blush looks amazing on my cool toned skin.

[@LauralynCurtisKohl]

I think you look lovely! That top is so cute and fall-appropriate. You look perfect Gemma ❤

[@hanbeauty101]

My favourite mascara of 2023 and of ALL TIME is Vast Lash by Victoria Beckham. I have tiny eyelashes that refuse to look voluminous and lifted, but this mascara does this with just one coat and nothing else has ever done this and I have tried pretty much everything. It never smudges or runs. I adore this and if you haven’t tried it, I strongly recommend you do ❤

[@terfalicious]

Doesn't VB seem to do Everything to perfection? I love her lip & eye liners, blushes and contour stick (rival Hourglass) - only the price (but you def get what you pay for with VB!)

[@hanbeauty101]

@@terfalicious totally agree. I have loved everything I’ve bought from her. All of them end up in my regular lineup 💕

[@karlaharvey2623]

Great 2023 greats. You look really pretty Gemma. Loving your hair getting longer. Can’t wait to see it long. You will wear long hair beautifully. Thank you sweetie for the best of 2023

[@emmafagan]

So happy you’re reviewing Haus Labs concealer! Looking forward to that 😊

[@terfalicious]

The triclone foundation is amazing!

[@LynneF-jx2uj]

I’m loving the new RMS blushes, Crystal Slipper and Bohemian Girl. Have you tried them, Gemma?

[@francineg9589]

Thank you for the detailed reviews. You look amazing today!

[@deborah972]

Hi Gemma so excited to see this 😊 xx

[@rothbyfrankle47]

You look wonderful as usual! I love the shades of the ND palette but do not need that many options. Waiting (impatiently) for her to come out with a 5 pan of but the MUA eyeshadows look so much like her small palettes. Would love to get my hands on one of those in the US!

[@amandacronin6653]

Victoria Beckham Vast Lash. I have oily eyelids always looking for the “1” this stayed put in 40+ heat in Dubai. It’s amazing 😻

[@joeanna1100]

my faves of 2023 are the haus labs foundation and laura mercier blur powder rare beauty highlighter , just ordered some glossier products to try xxxx

[@mariakyriacou3597]

I think u look lovely hun ❤❤❤

[@reneeburich9497]

I feel the same about the Mercier Ultra Blur Powder. I hear only a couple of influencers mention it.

[@alisueblogs9029]

MUA have some larger 15 pan palettes too that are definitely worth checking out. The illusionist is a beautiful cool toned neutral and for anyone who wants a rainbow palette the kaleidoscope is a good option too. There's another neutral palette but it's not my bag so I've not tried it. Xx

[@aspendewco70]

Your makeup looks great as usual!!

[@magssnoops]

Thanks Gemma. In all honesty I don’t see anything wrong at all, and I Love the shirt!. From one of your previous videos, I have tried those eyeshadows you mentioned, from Superdrug, you are so right, they are amazing, I couldn’t believe how good they are.

[@denisecharlton8040]

Like you I love the I need a nude palette and the glam palette. I also bought another one of Natasha Denona’s with greens in and I didn’t really like that one so sold it! X❤

[@donnadonner5744]

I absolutely love the Huda Beauty concealer. It’s the best one I’ve ever had.

[@Christins8818]

my products of the year are liquide eyeshadows in general and the CT dupes for the glow filter thing from ELF and Catrice. I love these glow filter products even as bronzer. i bought different shades to mix into my foundation, wear as bronzer and as highlighter. i love the glow without sparkle.

[@fahimachowdhury1540]

Love the Bliue shirt.. would you be able to tell us where it’s from please.? My fave from 2023 is Armani silk luminous blushes.. x

[@FreshGrey-pm4vw]

I love that top and if you wanted to be more congruent with that shade you could try for a more rosy/pink tone in make up to enhance that lovely cornflower blue.

[@gladysgarrity5721]

Thanks Gemma love the ND palette just beautiful As for the MUA mini Palettes they are gorgeous I started with one now I have 4 of them ❤

[@Laura-ln3or]

Have you tried the Natasha Denona concealer?

[@theresahermann2366]

There's nothing wrong 😊 You look fabulous ❤

[@dawnewright4951]

You look adorable. You are use to a more fitted look so it is different for you but comfy and casual looking!

[@rachelbarone8816]

You look fabulous! Thanks for this video. Need to try the Nars lip balm.

[@kemberlymclain5800]

Gemma, love your favorites video!!!!! That Nars Powder has only been mentioned by one other person I follow and that is Nikki LA Rose, she loves it too for all skin types. This is going on my wish list!!! Will your links work during the upcoming Sephora sale? I bought the Pat McGrath Bronzers a few months ago and I agree, they ARE sublime!!!! LOVE THEM!! Looking forward to your next video, see ya soon!!!!

[@lynnfox8376]

You look good, but what may be looking slightly off to you is that the shirt is quite crisp and sharp looking and your hair looks more natural and feathered. Maybe try doing a more classic bob with the ends curled under, or wear a white cami under it and unbutton an extra button and roll the sleeves up to make it more casual.

[@YummyGummy77]

WHAT METALLIC SHADOW IS ONE YOUR EYELID??? ITS BEAUTIFUL and where can we buy the MUA 5 pan palettes at? I can't find them on Amazon

[@Vnikko77]

I am new to this, i am love to see how well done your makeup is looking every time! ❤ so wish to learn this. And have used some skin care and makeup from sisley, can you pleas try some out in this brand?

[@sassyatsixty]

You love lovely Gemma, don't understand why you don't feel good. Loved your reviews. I am also very interested when you say your mum also liked products you recommend as an over 60 woman. Always loved Nars orgasm, will definitely get the lip balm. Used to love the gloss, which apparently they don't do anymore.

[@kristimeyers2221]

My favorite mascara is L’Oréal lash paradise!

[@debbiepayne903]

There’s not a thing wrong. I think you’re just not used to filming in that type of top and it looks different to you. You look great as always!

[@teresas.3979]

I second that. I can't remember the last time she wore an Oxford shirt.

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

FAB video! Absolutely LOVED it!

[@sarah-janesmith93]

Think your shift looks gorgeous! Have you forgotten earings maybe? Xx

[@lindaWilliams708]

I love Shisheidos controlled chaos mascara. BTW, you😅 look amazing, you have the most beautiful big brown eyes. X

[@glendamccurdy6677]

I love Charlotte Tilbury Full Fat mascara is exceptional…best I’ve tried in a long time. Great video as always ❤

[@karlieneporter4939]

Where abouts in Australia can you purchase the little 5 pan MUA palettes please

[@melindagenitempo2359]

I'm in Texas and def would love to know where to buy MUA. I think we had it for a couple a years ago then they vanished. TYIA

[@eleniminas7742]

I think you look fabulous are you are rocking that shirt 😊Dry girl here living on a Greek island that doesn't help much 😂 Im running out of my 3 in rotation foundations, same age please give me a recommendation 🎉Love from Greece 🇬🇷 ❤🎉my beautiful Gemma ❤

[@PostedByEsther]

Hi Gemma, you look very nice, nothing is wrong, your eyes are looking really big actually with this make up look :-). Maybe it's because your not wearing earrings? I bought the Mua eyshadows palettes because of your advice and i love love love them!!! I live in The Netherlands so we can get them over here. The "Elf products" are also sold here, unfortunately they are out of stock quite often. But ........i keep trying to get my hands on them :-). Thanks again for this nice video.

[@jackieturner4144]

gemma if you didn't have a youtube channel and was only buying a concealer for yourself i've got recently the huda colour corrector and now need a concealer i have dry skin and 55yrs thankyou xx

[@marionallen2222]

Yay!!!! Happy Wednesday!!! 🤍🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂

[@Christins8818]

my fav. mascara so far is from rival de loop (German drugstore brand from Rossmann). its a volume mascara with a very similar brush to the Beauty bay one you have (for the germans here: es ist der hellrosane von rival de loop)

[@Chipshot2000]

No worries….you are gorgeous ❤

[@sagebeauty]

Have you tried the ND by glow concealer? I’ve ordered 2 shades. Love love love

[@M0RRGIE]

Firstly can I say that I am "digging" your look today and if I can say it at 53 then so can you, however, I think I know what it is that is bothering you, it is the blue shirt with the olive green background. My faves are the Erborian BB and CC cream, just love them as I really dislike foundation. Skin care is the Beauty of Joseon that you suggested. Mascara is the Benefit Fanfest, just fantastic and I love the new Pink Ordinary serum, apart from anything else the colour just cheers me up.

[@lindascott-burney5734]

Does anyone know if you can get the Mua eyeshadows in New Zealand .. Sadly I haven’t seen them around

[@claredyj2015]

I think you look fab Gem! Really like your shirt - where did you get it? I liked the list as well, desperate to try the Nars products!! 🎉🎉

[@lisaedwards3619]

your hair is looking great! you set me on my skincare and makeup journey Gemma! Thank you! ( although you have cost me a fortune 😂). would you consider doing a cream foundation video? x

[@suzanneholman1203]

I don't see your video links in the video. I do see the one with your mum in the description box, however. Thanks. Missha BB Cream has more shades in 2023, so I picked up no. 29 the other day at the Missha store in Istanbul. Much nicer! Not a grey undertone anymore. I think they have 7 shades now whereas before, they only had 3. Wonderful product. Heimish Moringa Ceramide BB cream is another Korean product I love. I also like the Make Up Forever concealer. It's light and easy to blend. I am with you completely regarding the NARS after glow lipstick. The lipbalm is fantastic, too. Wow. Can't wait to try their powder - thanks! From the drugstore, Revlon Illuminance foundation is gorgeous on my mature skin. I'm enjoying he NYX Thick it Stick it eyebrow mascara, too.

[@pent4238]

Hi Gemma. I’m trying to make a hard decision on a foundation purchase. I am 54. Would you purchase the Laura Mercier Real flawless weightless foundation or Trinny London All day BFF? Please help

[@teganpride]

LOVED this video! ❤️👏🏼

[@luskentyre65]

The elf primer is really good .

[@oregoncoastmama3004]

It's the shirt. But you look gorgeous as always!❤

[@Britbabe53]

I recently tried the Ilia mascara and found it quite amazing

[@woboznz]

I love the shirt! It's a bit masculine but you still look gorgeous and sharp and classy in it

[@NancyHaller-t3x]

Always enjoy your videos! Your eyeshadow is beautiful! What is it? Also, what eye primer did you use?

[@joeanna1100]

i just got haus labs concealer its lovely . xxxx

[@ReginsEvans]

Please do a "Best of Elf" video. Thanks

[@Johanna-uw9vy]

I love the shirt. It looks great on you! Xx

[@magpiesneedle2575]

As far as MUA, in the UK anyway, they have their own website. Packaging and quick shipping I can attest to, because, YOU, Gemma, got me interested (and I went a wee bit overboard & bank balance isn’t even angry and I’m happy)

[@firstlast-em2yq]

Nothing is wrong. Looks great!

[@stefanisolomon725]

Looking lovely, no probs there

[@carolesalmon8545]

Maybe your under eye concealer looks a bit lighter than normal or is the lighting ? Love your recommendations. More please 😊

[@magpiesneedle2575]

The pink Huda beauty colour corrector looks so deep on the website link???

[@EstherNathalie190]

Hi Gemma,u look great i think so.Thank u for this review.

[@mariabarradas4235]

Hi Gemma, what do you mean?...you look beautiful, the blue shirt with your gold hair looks perfect, makeup is also perfection, all is fine, thanks for all the suggestions, I have my "to buy" list, going to try liquid blush for the first time...the only "thing" missing: Ralph...where is the tiny rascal who hates the camera?...it was so cute to see him behind you on your last video, he is so photogenic....do you take care of his "good looks"?...hugs
