Enjoying this series of masterclasses. Could you do one on contouring and inc enhancing contour for a 50+ age group . Not the Instagram look, but more to help lift and sculpt your skin and bone structure for my age group . Thanks from a make up junkie in her 50s who’d like to help gravity a little 😊

[@heatherjane910]

Janet Bolland I’m with you, sister!

[@irunamuk]

Love this idea

[@reemasodha253]

Oooooo yes please!!!

[@SlimKeith11]

As we age we want LESS make-up, contouring is a lot of extra make up that just settles into lines and looks FAR better in magazines and film as opposed to in person. Most make up artists will steer you away or encourage you to just use the minimum amount of make up necessary.

[@danihalling9734]

Loving these videos! x I’d love to see a tips and tricks video on people with different skin issues. So someone with extreme pigmentation. Someone with extreme acne.. rosacea etc. I think that would be really interesting x hope you’re well nic xx

[@Ohkeh640]

Danny Halling your makeup looks flawless! What’s your skin type/ fave full coverage foundations concealers and powders. Thx xx

[@pinayinmelbourne1979]

Yes please🙏

[@TrustNotMyHeart]

I absolutely love that you all are still teaching us. Especially those of us that go back years with you all. We are getting older and need new technique and tips to address the things that come with age. Thank you!

[@jholmie6016]

LOVING the masterclass series!

[@apprendrelanglaisavecmrsfa1775]

Hi Nic! I think this idea of making masterclasses about specific subjects is brilliant. I'd love to see more of these! XXX from south of France.

[@alittlebitofshiny]

Thank you so much for doing this series, I’m finding it so helpful. I’m in my 50’s and I’ve had to rethink/ relearn how to apply my makeup to get the look I want. So many products are just not suitable for mature skin and the products and techniques I used to use just don’t work anymore. Xx

[@JaclynForbes]

I never hear anyone talk about clarins instant light 🙌🏼🙌🏼 it’s my all time fave!

[@Lisa-yh6zi]

Same!!Its amazing and I never hear anyone talk about it!

[@ritavs]

I love it too but I actually found out about it because of Sam. She mentioned it in a video a long time ago

[@Ty-ih9cu]

Yuuus, it’s so good for dry under eyes. It’s a little emollient/moisturizing almost like a concealer with an eye cream built in.

[@marianalopez969]

Hows the coverAge?

[@wendyraye]

@Jaclyn Forbes I just discovered it. Surprisingly it has oil - which is great, but over a silicone under eye primer I wonder if it would pill. I’m on the fence - it’s nice but my eye has to get used to less coverage concealers (nothing covers them all the way, even layered). It’s frustrating.

[@angelaparis4007]

I also just LOVE this series! I hope you will continue these master classes. You are such a wonderful makeup artist and teacher. Thank you so much!! ~Angie~

[@EV-oj5bl]

I am so glad you guys are bringing back "classes"!!! This is what got me into you...over 8 years ago

[@daynaandersonhepler9393]

from someone with dark under eyes and blemishes more often than not, this was so helpful! thanks so much for taking the time to thoroughly explain and demonstrate!!!

[@amy-ellen]

Quick tip I learnt from a friend....don’t forget to clean your makeup brushes after concealing a blemish in order to minimise the risk of transferring bacteria elsewhere, but also help prevent aggravating blemishes that are trying to heal. Love these essential basics tutorials! 👍

[@amywildman3139]

I feel like everyone needs to see these videos. Going back to basics and going over things that you may have forgot is never a bad thing!! More videos like this please 😍 loved the foundation one too!! X

[@dinahconsumption3614]

Step 1: have amazing skin and bone structure. Love you Nic :)

[@lizainuk]

Dinah Consumption absolute truth 😂

[@CALB2009]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This series of videos is so helpful for me and it's the type of content that has truly gone missing from youtube over the past 3 yrs or so. I would VERY MUCH appreciate if you could do a video regarding correcting/concealing hyper-pigmentation. I have Myasthenia Gravis, a rare autoimmune neuromuscular disease. Between the disease symptoms & ALL of the medications I take, it's taken a toll on my skin and overall appearance. My under eyes down to my lower orbital bone, inner corners, eyelids, outer corners of my eyes, and top of my cheeks are all a brownish hormonal looking tone of pigmentation. It's like having Melasma on my entire eye area. All of that darkness is only adding to the sunken appearance of my tear trough area from volume loss. With Myasthenia Gravis, I can't have Botox, but I'm going to ask my Neurologist about under eye fillers. I know this is a complex topic because the "correction" will be different depending on people's skin color, undertones, and hyper-pigmentation tones, but I would deeply appreciate the help so much! XOXO ~Christy~

[@bettyblu8115]

Love you...You are so talented, beautiful and smart as a whip. I really enjoy these master classes. You and your Sister bring real creative artistry back to makeup, yet you always make sure everyone watching knows they can have a go at it, and look beautiful. Thanks for all of your hard work and talent! Cheers!

[@anettes8536]

Love this videos❣ A undereye for us closer to 50... Bags, lines AND darknes 😉 That would be sooo helpfull

[@angela_dianne]

I so appreciate the updated videos on the basics!! Especially because we’ve gotten older since a lot of your first lessons and tutorials. It’s been an interesting time figuring out what adjustments need to be made in products and shades as we age right?! You two are brilliant! Love from Minnesota!

[@nikkieditinc]

Masterclass series is brilliant!!!! Dark circles are my biggest insecurity so I need all the help I can get!!!!

[@nikitasolaya697]

Under eye filler update...??? You said you would and I’m dying to know what you think etc :(

[@arlenebrogan3265]

Great video. Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous, so glossy and healthy xx

[@shilohwoodard2879]

This was very helpful! Thank you! Would you please do a video on hyperpigmentation? I am definitely dealing with that more and more as I age

[@glittercatstudios]

I mentioned the colour wheel on one of your videos last year and then went into detail about how the complimentary colours mathematically cancel one another. Physically, they reduce to grey, but you got the idea. So happy to see it made sense to you! Obviously, I love your videos and you look great. Thanks for all you do.

[@vickihollenbeck7613]

I love you are back to basic videos.....I never tire of them. I like how you also use a variety of products not just 1 brand.♥

[@louisaholland9270]

Would love to see a video on pigmentation covering. So many people have it and no one ever seems to show ways to cover.

[@amybrown3722]

I love these new back to basics video - I've gotten so tired of all the gimmicks on KZbin but these are amazing! Would you consider doing an educational video on how to cover redness on not just the face but also the body?

[@yiann.plans.videos]

Love it! Thank you Nic, I've learnt something. It always feels like an impossible task to find the perfect concealer.

[@catherinelevison3310]

Best teaching on concealer ever made.

[@amyjacquelineg.9541]

Lancome Effecernes had been my go to since the 80’s and Ive tried them all. It last all day and doesn’t crease. I do add a bit of brighter concealer to top it off as I have very dark circles.

[@stephanieshanonn366]

Use eyecream in the morning and night. Clinique does some nice ones ! Also use a creamier concealer , use a little less product maybe ? Xxx

[@callioscope]

I’ve added it to my faves so I can watch it again while I’m trying out your tips. The active blemish one was brilliant. Thank you. I love your 101’s.

[@ukrambleon]

So much info to take in. Definitely one to rewatch! I’m not so good at applying lipstick. And my bottom lip seems filler than my top lip, but is a big wonky. Lip liners make me nervous. Liquid lipsticks or lipsticks in bold colours are more likely to go wrong on me as my application is not so precise 😅. And I’d like to know how do you apply a diffused edge on a liquid lipstick for a softer, more natural look. So a tutorial on that would be amazing. 👍😎

[@adrianajimenez4342]

Laura Mercier secret camouflage concealer is my favorite ♥

[@beckybeighley]

MORE MORE education/masterclasses PLEASE this is what i'm here for

[@elliehumphris4074]

I quite regularly just use a little concealer and mascara. Just depends on how good my skin is looking. I use the Veil pen but my holy grail for just concealer days is a bloody cheap as chips product. It's a LA girl eyeshadow primer stick - cost me 4 bucks and it's the perfect match for my skin. I have about 7 different concealers from low end to high and this is my always fall back to... god knows why but at the moment with good skin it works. I am open to all products and honestly spend more money on my skin care than anything else now. I have some fave palettes (the Hourglass ambient lighting edit unlocked as I find I can do a full natural no makeup look with it). I love CT lip pencils and Hourglass femme nude lip stylos. Just putting it out there for any gals that can't afford the higher end stuff or only can afford a few you can use cheap stuff (la girl concealer is also good)... you have to find what works best for you. Thanks @pixiwoo for doing these tutorials... I am learning heaps. You rock and are so beautiful

[@lisathomson3057]

Ellie Humphris what do u use to set? The hourglass powders from the palette? Love the Ambient palette

[@clairethemamabear]

Thank you for this, Nic! 💖 Edit: what about drugstore concealers?

[@osterlundm11]

Clairethemamabear She mentions Maybelline age rewind and rimmel - both are drugstore I believe (also Delilah but I am unsure about where to buy this). 😊

[@Dee-gn9cw]

She has done a separate video on drugstore concealers, it's really good.

[@mishmash3968]

Clairethemamabear nyx and pixie have great pot color correctors for blemishes and dark spots. She mentioned the Maybelline colored pen correctors as well as the Mac type palette she used initially. Nyx has all sorts of liquid correctors, including lavender for brightening, etc. There are a lot out there if you look.

[@elainebines6803]

@@osterlundm11 Delilah isn't drugstore, in fact sold mainly in beauty salons and john lewis. They also have a website. I've been impressed with their products

Thank you loads

[@rebeccathorogood693]

Loving these educational videos! Thank you! I have very dark under eyes, they’re very blue/grey. I use MAC prep and prime highlighter pen in Bright Forecast as a corrector, just 2 dots is enough. Then a tiny bit of pro longwear in NW20 to ensure I’m concealed all day. Works a treat for me!

[@hammyhamstercus]

Rebecca Thorogood I use that same combo!

[@lyngartin318]

I’ve been loving the YSL Touche Eclat. I just tap it in with my fingertip and don’t set it, and I find it doesn’t make my under eye lines stand out too much.

[@TheBurkechi]

Thank you!!! Could you do a part 2, where u break down the differences between your favourite concealers? I know this is a big ask, or even if you wrote about the differences between them in the description section of the video? I found this video very informative and would love to learn even more. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge :)

[@vilkenstrutzutzutz]

Could you make a video on sunken undereyes? I use a light concealer right on the shadow, but I still look sick, because of the shadow.

[@vilkenstrutzutzutz]

All types of shimmers and illumination also just brings it out even more, and all types of mattes or powders just makes my undereyes crease and look really wrinkly. It's a true everyday struggle. No matter how high coverage I go, I just look dead.

Hi Nic....Great video! One question Early in the video (around 6:50) you started to mention about being careful about concealers that said undereye in the name & you said you would get back to that but you did not. Can you tell me what you were going to tell us about the concealers? I love these kind of videos were you and Sam give us more in depth information or tips & things you do and why you do them... they are really very helpful to us non professional makeup artists!!!!!

Dear Nick & Sam, it is always a pleasure to see you on youtube or instagram! Your makeup videos or your more general topics, life etc. are always interesting and both of you are great persons! I also love real techniques brushes and just got some more today. This brought me to the following: why so much plastic for the packaging of the brushes? Could you maybe discuss with real techniques how to improve on this? This would be so great for the planet! 😉 lots of love from France, Delphine

[@2004bestnomi]

Thank you. Please advise how to cover dark brown MELASMA spots on the top of the cheeks , long lines are right in the highlighter area. It always looks cake and heavy :(

[@prplppltr]

2004bestnomi argh yes I have those. They are the worst!

[@viktoriawing6319]

If you search for Lisa Eldridge’s video with Yasmin Le Bon (the first one, the ‘natural look’) she talks a bit about covering melasma there!

[@ocandro]

2004bestnomi I agree, Lisa's video is really good and there is a beautiful look on top of great advice. You could use some concealer/corrector/camouflage (the names are not always accurate) palettes with peachy or salmony shades (lighter salmon is for light skin, you go peachier for medium and the deeper you are, the more you move towards brighter oranges) for that, Bobby Brown, MAC or Kryolan (the cheapest of 3) would be very nice for that. Oh and when it comes to blemishes on cheeks, you might want to use cream highlighter/blush/bronzer, because you can mix it with concealer, rather than having blemish or a flesh tone peeking through.

[@ronyash5923]

I use estee lauder's body and face full coverage to conceal. But since i have started using milk thistle and tranexamic acid. My melasma is almost gone. I am using these for about a month now. I am so happy and relived. I don't have to wear concealer or foundation while going out.

[@mindyb3197]

Use a peach color or depending on your complexion color, you might want to use a darker peach if you have a deeper complexion

Which concealer would you most recommend for under-eye wrinkles with thin skin and puffiness? My first thought is glowing and moisturizing concealer, but I would love your opinion. Thanks!

[@sandymallett8059]

How do you conceal under your eyes as they start to hollow underneath? Since you’re dealing with more of a shadowing concern...not just “dark circles”. I’m having trouble figuring it out...and I’m guessing I’m not the only one at this age struggling with this concern. Please help!

[@Nicola.Chapman]

Sandy Mallett you use a lighter colour maybe illuminating concealer to lift the depth. You can’t change texture or depth but you can create the illusion it’s lifted. Think conturing, you use a dark shadowy colour to make something sink and look deeper and you use a highlighter or lighter colour to make something look lifted. Hopefully that helps. X

[@sandymallett8059]

Thank you! I’m going to try that trick tomorrow 😉!!
