Have you changed up your makeup routine? Let’s chat in the comments.

[@laurielyons2284]

At 68 I am still discovering how to do my makeup. I have had so many fails. Thank you for this video. Sooooo informative. You look amazing.

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

Glad it was helpful!❤️❤️

[@jacquelinemccully912]

Tip I've seen for not getting your brows too dark, leading to angry-looking eyes, is to use a lighter color (and lighter application) from the inside edge of the brow to the arch and then use a slightly darker color (or add more product/heavier application for a darker appearance) from the arch to the outside edge. It really works great for me. Another great video, Laura and congrats on your retirement!

[@maddieb726]

Thanks again, Laura. Forgot all about those little sponges. I used to love them. Will purchase to add to my blending regime. You look great 😊

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

You are so welcome!❤️❤️

[@maddieb726]

@LauraRaeBeauty I absolutely love your method of the Peeper Keepers and cleaning up the eyeshadow. Tried it today, and it worked for me. Thanks again, Laura 🙂

[@TriciaHaynes-q2z]

I have been watching you since you first started, you look younger, better now than you did years ago

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

I really appreciate your kind comment in words of encouragement.❤️❤️

[@nancycook7802]

I love and share your view on beauty and how we value ourselves as we get older. At 72 I also enjoy looking my best and using make up to enhance my features, but I accept my unique features and just want to be the best me. Fun video and great message at the end. I love the Sky High mascara too. I have very short and sparse lashes and using this mascara gives me some volume and it doesn’t flake. I’m still trying to find the perfect make up for summer so this is helpful.

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

So glad that the video was helpful. I appreciate your kind words and comment.❤️❤️

[@TriciaHaynes-q2z]

I used those sponges in the 70's and 80's. I should try them again

[@jacquevilmain7169]

You're my Go-to!

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

Thank you so much!❤️❤️

[@VHPINC]

Just wanted to offer a alternative for the Charlotte Tilbury hydrating spray, Clinique make one that it’s about $28 as opposed to 47 for the Charlotte Tilberry, works in much the same way. It’s moisture spray.

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

Thank you so much for the recommendation.❤️❤️

[@margieryne6220]

Thank you Laura for a very informative video! Have a great week!❤️

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

You are so welcome! xoxo

[@MaryEllenAfter60]

Hi Laura Rae. Oh my gosh I loved my Victoria Jackson makeup case!! You brought back great memories for me. Do either of your girls have a cleft i their chin? Not that 60 is old, because it isn't, but I don't think anyone would believe you are a day over 40. I watched your whole video on my laptop. I'm not sure how you did it, but I love when you inserted the "old" way you did makeup, then showed the more blended look!!! Love you, my beautiful friend...MaryEllen

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

Thank you so much MaryEllen for your encouraging words! Neither one of my daughters got the cleft in their chin. I'm not quite sure where mine came from. This video was so challenging, but it is one I have wanted to do for so long. I remember being so excited when I first saw the Victoria Jackson makeup. I bought one of the kits right before I gave birth. I was so excited to wear the makeup to the hospital! lol Love you!

[@crucitasquillace5072]

Great tips again! Love it. You look great ❤

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

Thanks so much!❤️❤️

[@joanieschoenfeld4525]

I bought the Victoria Jackson products too! I read she now works with Ellen Degeneres on her BeKind line. Great video as always Laura! Thank you so much!!❤

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

Oh thank you!❤️❤️

[@DaisyLarson4936]

I have a bag of sponges and never really knew how to use them...but will try them out today!! I bought them because it had a beauty blender in the pack 😅)

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

Have fun!❤️❤️

[@cindygirard5170]

I’m with you Laura - I love my slanted/angled brushes for blush!!

[@julieall_is_good90]

I still use the sponges. ❤

[@kathybrou1340]

Great video!

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

Glad you enjoyed it!❤️❤️

[@ottyamado4162]

You are amazing 👏 ❤️

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

What a kind thing to say! You really brightened my day!❤️❤️

[@HollyM3]

I really appreciate your tips Laura! We have a similar type of deep set eye area. I cannot do the typical cat eye look and this blended eyeshadow liner looks nice. I guess I need to take a bit more time to try this out. Would love to see more looks targeted for deep set eyes. 💗

[@BeautyOver70WithLea]

Hi, I still use these wedges and love them at (76)

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

That's great!❤️❤️

[@paulahardin6002]

I used that wedge sponge back in the day. I really need to start using it again. I love that you are using Milani products. Milani has a 25 percent off sale going on now. Your finished look is beautiful, Laura! Love the Queen Bee product! Thank you for recommending it.

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

So happy that you are enjoying the Queen Bee. Milani has been a long time favorite of mine. Thank you for your kind comment!❤️

[@nickimontie]

I had Victoria Jackson's cosmetics and her video (on VHS!) . Great video! I love the Milani matte lipsticks, and they have great colors. I just bought the Milani Setting Spray with SPF. I haven't noticed a difference between that and the regular, so I get a bonus layer of protection!

[@carolynstockton5876]

It was fun to hear you mention Victoria Jackson! Her infomercials were on frequently. I bought some things too. I wonder what happened to her?

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

Victoria Jackson still has her own line of make up and worked with Ellen to create a skincare line.❤️❤️

[@carolynstockton5876]

I had no idea! Thanks.

[@debedwards1717]

Wayne Goss still uses those sponges. I still use my fingers to apply foundation and concealer.

[@kathyjustice1308]

The blending you do is making a huge difference with your makeup. Looks beautiful. Thank you for this video. You explain things well, I will definitely do this in the future. I have alot of those makeup sponges. They are inexpensive and easily disposable if get too yucky. Love your videos, thanks again

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

So happy that the video was helpful! Thank you for all of your encouragement.❤️❤️

[@kathyjustice1308]

@@LauraRaeBeauty you make it easy.simple to use everyday products that work well that anyone can follow, even me ha. Thank you again.

[@rhondajones4369]

Those wedge sponges were a staple in the 80's and 90's. They worked great! I may have missed this review from you, but what were your thoughts on the Pria next treatment? I was curious about that😊

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

The Pria has been wonderful for my neck. I will continue to use and purchase it myself. xoxo

[@LizzyHuntDsm]

Happy early birthday 🎉🎉🎉 I turn 60 on Wednesday July 3!

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

Happy birthday!! We have the same birthday!❤️❤️🎉

[@LizzyHuntDsm]

@@LauraRaeBeauty oh that's fun! Yay

[@krisssutton4260]

It seems so many products have niacinimide in them, and I cannot use it. It immediately breaks me out. Do you have any suggestions for products without niacinimide?

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

You are right! So many products have niacinimide. I will research this for you. xoxo

[@karenweinberg5585]

I miss Victoria Jackson. She had the best eye/ face remover. And I still have a diamond shaped sponge from her.

[@LizzyHuntDsm]

Why aren't we putting eye cream on the lids?

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

My lids are very oily.❤️❤️

[@LizzyHuntDsm]

@@LauraRaeBeauty OK, that makes sense. I just wondered because I never see anyone moisturize their lids.

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

@@LizzyHuntDsm You have to be careful as some formulas might travel into your eye and cause irritation. It can also cause creasing during the day. But I use eye cream on my lids all the time. I just make sure I let it sink into my skin before applying concealer or eye primer.

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

I’m super dry and have to use eye cream on my lids. I also use spf on my lids. I let all that sink in for twenty minutes before starting my makeup to avoid it messing with the eyeshadow etc and I do use primer btw. I can’t not moisturise my whole eye area if I want anything to look half decent 😂.

[@kathyo9420]

Ugh over an hour...I really prefer the videos that run about 10 minutes.

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I spent over 30 hours working on this video. I get so many questions about blending and hopefully this will be a helpful reference for those that would like this information. Have a great weekend! xoxo

[@nataliemarshall7158]

Oh Really you needed to post a rude negative comment just because this particular video was not to your personal preference?? So many more of us LOVED this longer detailed Tutorial video!! Happy for you if your makeup application is perfect and on point that you don’t need a longer more detailed video but some of us are not so accomplished. Instead of being so rude just because you are not happy how about you just make the decent and grown up decision to skip this particular video and find one that does work for you?

[@nataliemarshall7158]

@@LauraRaeBeautythis video was absolutely brilliant! I cannot think of any other Beauty KZbinr that is so open and honest about “mistakes”. I think learning curves is a better way to put it. The fact that you pointed out what you used to do and why you no longer do it that way and what you are doing differently is so refreshing for us and very brave and vulnerable of you. I honestly believe that as we age and change our makeup and the application of needs to change too. As someone who is getting back into wearing makeup in my 50’s I not only appreciate all of your videos but especially this video with more info on the different brush sizes, how to use them and why they are necessary in more detail than is possible to give in a shorter video. If in returning to using makeup I just started applying still using all of the techniques and tools that I did in my 20’s I am quite certain I would look like a clown 🤡 😂 I also appreciate you saying how many hours went into preparing this video. So many people have absolutely no clue just how much work goes into making KZbin videos, even the 10 min videos. I would also be clueless if my daughter had not studied media production at University where part of the course required them all to setup and run a KZbin channel for the duration of the course. Holy cow so much work behind the scenes, so many rules from KZbin not to mention the mental work and drain from having to constantly be creative, thinking up new ideas, doing the research and being several weeks in advance of what you’re actually putting out! EXHAUSTING and Hard Work. And then on top of that you need to have a hide as thick as a Rhino 🦏 so that your soul doesn’t get sucked dry by all of the “armchair experts” and “negative Nancy’s” being a successful KZbinr is not the easy cash grabbing endeavour that most people think it is. My soul is way too sensitive and my creativity is yet to be born 😂😂 I wonder if occasionally talking about how much work went into your videos from time to time may not only be illuminating and interesting to some people but it might just make all of the “negative Nancy’s” think twice about being keyboard warriors? I appreciate everything you have done for us especially waking up So early to be able to film for us and also get to work!! I hope you body clock adapts to retirement time quickly for you!! ❤❤❤
