Silver to Steel: Clean, Glam Makeup, Temporary Color and 3/4 Wig Application

[@lisacsanders6039]

Congratulations on getting a mention in a recent Wall Street Journal article about make up videos for mature women. I was delighted to see you, and Sugar Puff and Fluff, get an acknowledgement as favored You Tube content creators.

[@theroseblue15]

You're so elegant and beautiful, not only outside but inside as well. Your videos always put a bit of sunshine to my constant dark and angry world. Thank you.

[@madisona3907]

Элизабет/エリザベス/theroseblue15 could not agree more! Monique is our girl!

[@Mohammed-Gideon]

Raw . I lived it .

[@SamanthaCheshire]

I will be 50 next week and I understand choosing your battles. Monique you are a true inspiration to this almost a half century old girl!

[@timothysherreyehler5095]

Happy Birthday next week, Samantha! Welcome to the club (I'm 56)! Canadian best wishes, and have a beautiful week, Sherrey 🎈🎉🎈

[@alineaikoyoshidagalvao1450]

"When you're 50 years old you realize that not everything is going to be perfect... so you choose your battles". Lessons for life ❤

[@BBMc107]

Shits and giggles. ROFLMAO! Thank you for letting us see the real, wonderful person you are while you teach us how to be more gorgeous. It adds so much charm to your videos. I prefer that to fake perfect people.

[@mati261000]

Dear Lord! She even closes her eyes to blend, blend the wrong way and... voila!!!.....PERFECTION!! Monique you are so unique and although you don't mind imperfections, the end result of your imperfect labor is always, and I mean always.....perfect!!!

[@wildearthwoman]

Monique, you give me hope about going gray! I'm 63 with ash blonde hair, and my gray is coming in so slowly that I have to highlight my hair just to brighten it up a bit. I'm actually looking forward to going completely gray because I don't like the dark dishwater blonde that I normally am. My dad and younger brother both have steel gray hair, and I was hoping my gray won't also be that dark, but YOU make it look awesome! I love your videos and your no-nonsense sense of humor. Thanks for being such an inspiration to us older gals!

[@JanasSpace]

Oh Monique...that brings it up a notch!....or two...WHat a change that differnet shade can make in your whole look....gives you that vixen vibe....beautiful job!..I love these kind of videos..you do them so well.....big hug...Jana

[@Serendipity-gj2me]

The darker hair looks absolutely gorgeous on you together with that lipstick.

[@happytrails699]

That red lip with your hair color is stunning.

[@victoriaholtta]

Wow 😍! Looking so fabulous. The darker color looks great on you 👌. I turned 50 this year and you are the only person who is making these great and funny and "just being yourself" videos. Dear Monique, you are my absolutely favorite 😘❤❤❤😉

[@sherricarr6127]

I love your videos. You seemingly never take yourself too seriously. Your sense of humor is refreshing. Love you too!!!

[@MoonMagickMayhem]

I LOVE the darker hair on you! I think it makes you look younger and just makes your skin look extra bright!

[@miadoser1402]

You are amazing 😊. Thank God finally a women who accept her age and her imperfections. Older women can still be very apealing. True happyness comes with acceptance. Why trying so hard to look younger? Botox filers and all those things. Getting old is natural and normal. I have friends in their 50th looking better then girl in their 30th lol. I don't judge women who prefer to go with surgery and botox, absolutely not. Am only saying that acceptance gives a lot of freedom and relief😊

[@aylettkish2924]

I really enjoyed this video! I love when you play with wigs and hair pieces! Gorgeous as always!

[@magpie06]

I love watching you because you seem so real, and a little goofy, and that's cool. Love the darker gray on you!

[@TheArtfromemsheart]

I love that you are so honest and transparent. Your voice is so calming. I could watch your videos all day. ❤️❤️❤️

[@CosmeticsBeautyAndMaturity2nd]

You work magic matching up the wigs with your hair, and the eyes match beautifully. Thank you for being so honest & truthful your words are something to learn. KZbin' video on a smart phone sound's easy!

[@dawnlee1145]

My grey is growing in that dark, steel grey. Seeing this makes me excited about my final transition!

[@DeepThoughtsForYouTube]

"I never replace it, because it, it fits in the drawer." 😂😂😂😂 love her. ❤

[@karenwhalen8231]

The silver and steel color looks great on you. You inspire me get get back in putting makeup on. I usually don't wear much. When I want to wear different makeup I go to my haunt makeup kit. Lol But I have a big eye shadow case of many colors, eyeliners and etc. I always laugh at myself. Your such a beautiful lady. Love watching your videos. I'm 57 and it's never too late to look and feel beautiful

[@MyCynner]

I love the way you incorporate wigs with your own hair. You're very creative and elevate "making up" to a professional craft. I learn so much from your channel. Many thanks for sharing your tips and tricks. :)

[@yvonnevandenherreweghe7031]

Monique, as usual, thank you for promoting the beauty of silver hair.You look lovely as always.HUGS!

[@candace5258]

Lovely....helping me to make the decision to allow my silver grey to come through naturally...and get a little help to bring out more of the silver where I want it...very excited. I will be 50 before the new year comes...and right after Christmas....also a college student, it will help bring out the new me!

[@barbaraangele8615]

Thank you for another INSPIRING video. I doubt I will ever have an occasion to wear blood red lipstick or a steel gray fall but I adore watching every moment of your presentation just in case I want to try it. I love how you EXPERIMENT on your videos plus your comments are real and genuine.

[@mariagiovannalippolis4993]

We have to love our imperfections. Yiu're right!

[@sabinabirnie3761]

Hi Monique, what a lovely look, that foundation makes so much difference on your chest and I think the match is very good. I hope that all is going well for you with your significant other. Looking forward to whatever comes next as you are always a joy to watch xx.

[@margaretfite3633]

Among the things I admire is your ability to control the involuntary blink response when tightlining!

[@stephanieromano4752]

I love how REAL you are!!!!! Lol! Thank you for all of the great videos and advice. You look completely gorgeous in that wig!😘

[@salinamarina4740]

I love how authentic she is :)

[@rachelboling7490]

Gorgeous!!! You seriously make 51 look like 30! Love Love LOVE your videos!!!

[@Iflie]

Haha, loved the peek behind the scenes and the catloved chair!

[@r.melindar.1349]

Hi sweet Monique this is your North Carolina friend! That look is stunning and I love the eyes. It really brings them out your eye makeup technique does! Have a wonderful day and thank you for all that you do to empower women of a certain age that we can be gorgeous regardless of a number!

[@kristaoregonian9971]

This was quite fun to watch you experiment!! Turned out so pretty! And I really loved your theme about accepting our imperfections and showing kindness, love and acceptance to people around us. Such a great reminder, in a sometimes harsh and mean world. Hugs from Oregon ♡ Krista

[@AmericanDingo980]

Monique, the Stainless Steel hair color against your skin and eyes is just simply stunning on you! I loooove it!!

[@karenkleckner131]

Love the steel grey fall and rinse on you. It gives you depth and dimension. Your make up look is stunning. Sometimes a little less is just perfect. A very flattering look on you. Wonderful!

[@katiepeacock5069]

Stunning look! And there's nothing quite like a slick of Chanel red lippy to make you feel truly "high end". Beautiful - you're my inspiration as I approach the big 5 0. X

[@tonifoster7095]

You look stunning. 🦋I love that you’re not afraid of changing your look. ❤️

[@karent3004]

Gorgeous Monique! That color is stunning on you and your ability to handle wigs and hair pieces never fails to astound me. Awesome look..🤗😍😘

[@jedlinnen6528]

like it, Monique. That trip down town sure payed off! Like this steel grey on you and length is gourg worn to the side loose or with scrunchie flower maybe for hippy look and jeans. The amazing things you do with these cheap wigs are truly creative. Good on you!

[@elizabethwinchell1338]

Thank you so much for sharing so openly about makeup and skincare and hair care. I'm working toward eventually not dying my hair any more, and taking a lot of ideas and inspiration from you.

[@colhammond5128]

You are looking so beautiful!!!I've missed you . Haven't had much time to myself but seeing you pop up in my notifications makes me happy . Love that you are not afraid to experiment with new looks .

[@suzanstorm2982]

May I add - LOVE that you showed your work area! 💖

[@redwolfjoy]

Love the color of your hair, and I love your sense of humor! Love you!

[@carolnewlands8630]

Subtle is actually far more gorgeous on you..and that is DRAMATIC to most people!!LOL!!!ADORE that hair color on you!

[@itsmarialifestyle4355]

I like your honest no nonsense approach to everything....

[@ritaforman6162]

So much fun to watch you Monique and hear your commentary. And yes I do take your product recommendations and have purchased products that you recommend. Thanks!

[@NormyTres]

I like the different style of eye makeup as well as the new 3/4 fall - beautifully blended.

[@carableu]

Beautiful! (As always)... And I love the philosophy of nothing being perfect...

[@egypt9723]

The silver color looks awesome.. you rocked that color...kudos!!! 👍👍

[@lochamb1234]

This is one of my favourite looks you've done. The hair and red lips is a gorgeous combo. You've given hope to this girl who's fast approaching 50

[@grandmimm]

I always love watching your videos because you always make me feel better about myself, being that I am 53yrs old I can relate to a lot of the things you say lol

[@lizrichardson3309]

Love, love, love the steel gray! You look beautiful as always!

[@brookecantrell8561]

That looks beautiful!! LOVE the hair color 💄

[@JoanneLFisher]

Great video. Love that you give lots of choices on what can be used in the way of brushes etc. Love the look and colour of the longer hair... Gorgeous!

[@PT-tw6kg]

Love your message, to accept our imperfections, we all have them!!!! Thanks!!!!💜💜💜

[@mountainraine]

found you on youtube about a week ago and can't stop watching. I am blown away not only by your shared knowledge but also by how real and easy to relate to you are. one never feels talked down to. i am also 51 and just now thinking about letting to grey come in as i am tired of the up keep and cost. recently became single and really can't afford the cost anymore so figure now is a good time. you inspire and delight me. keep the videos coming and Happy November to you.

[@Sindri27]

This look makes you look younger. It's very nice.

[@pamelaknox4483]

I love it when you do wigs. I'm afraid to try one!

[@francessumner9249]

You are so beautiful, i love the colour of your hair, i have started using the purple / silver shampoos & conditioners recently after watching your videos, (i have been subscribed for about 7 months now) i am growing my grey out, so far 3 inches & i love it, my hair is the longest it has ever bern (down past my bra line) i just want to say thank you for your videos, i have taken mske up tips from you too & got so many compliments, (im 41 with 7 children & 3 grandchildren ) Thank You xxx

[@kayallen7603]

You're quite right. Flaws make us delightfully human. I rely upon my flaws because I'm not a beautiful woman merely an attractive one. You are not only beautiful outside, yes, even without makeup, but also inside. I think you're wonderful!

[@rubynelson1284]

I just love your honesty. So refreshing. Oh and btw, i love love love your videos.

[@deetee4325]

You look stunning Monique... was thinking of who you reminded me of.. and its the lovely Janet Leigh x

[@ANJA6366]

First timer enjoyed this immensely

[@puppetmaster3911]

You look stunning! The red lips with the gray is so pretty.

[@dindog22]

you're really good at blending in your own hair with the wig. I could never pull it off

[@barbaracossentino2313]

Hi Monique. you look absolutely beautiful. I actually have that steel shade of grey in the back of my head. I never really appreciated it until now when you just made it cool.

[@shaz5554]

Monique I so adore your sense of humour, keep going chick xx

[@laurelroth1632]

ahh Monique...such a Femme Fatale! You're so much fun..thanks again for the great video! XO You look fabulous!

[@burnice3901]

Was that a few love scratches on your chair from your cats? Lol. I love the darker color to. You do such a good job on your makeup. Stunning!!!!!

[@tinasmith7596]

YAY!! you're back! Loving the steel grey look.

[@Absintheskiss]

Blendingly challenged.... I love that phrase! A fab video as always.

[@joanneziemann3632]

Your application of makeup is superb, and you have real talent with hair and wigs!,💋😻

[@mamagates1]

This my favorite of all your makeup tutorials. Absolutely gorgeous!!!

[@paulakreinberg1448]

wow that grey color is really flattering! you look great!

[@KattTracks]

I love what you did with the Roux! Looking fabulous as always. 😊

[@robinswaytoday]

Hello Monique, The darker shade of steel grey looks good on you , the vixen appeal which is so much fun. The quiet background music is soothing . Oh..the 3/4 wig was a good find in China town. oxox

[@kayekog]

That was a pleasure to watch. The transformation was amazing, Monique. You did such a good job. I have one of those little combs that you used at the end and you gave me an idea on how to actually use it. You're also inspiring me in another way; your courage in moving out to Los Angeles and making a new life for yourself. I'm doing the same thing, just not in LA. It's both scary and liberating. Thanks for being a role model for me.

[@HocusFocusProductions]

Been offline, mostly, for awhile. Glad to be catching up on your stuff.

[@nanadonna775]

I love how you embrace the grey. Im not there, dont know if i ever will be. As long as they make hair color i wont be grey! But you rock it and are gorgeous!

[@mynxonyx]

I like these videos best. been missing them.

[@sandersAgina]

You have beautiful silver hair! Yeah that 1950’s look is great on you! It is perfect! I watch it on my TV and comment on my iPhone. So I saw your work environment and do you have a circular light? You are amazing and we should be kind to one another!

[@joeymeiring5536]

You look GORGEOUS!! Love the steel colour 😍❤

[@faithnelson2013]

roux fanci full was mentioned to me 40 years ago, by a hair-cutter/stylist. she swore by it. i didn't personally need it until about 6-7 years ago. i think roux should take a clue from YOU and make a spray version. totally brilliant!

[@lesaautreycarroll]

This look is absolutely stunning on u!!!! I love it!!!!!! This look also took some years off of your appearance!!! This will definitely be one I try! Love your videos and love your sense of humor!!! Thanks for brightening up the day!!!! ☺☺☺

[@lesaautreycarroll]

I meant to include this... I just turned 47 in Sept and I have been trying to find a look that will accentuate my maturity... this very well may be the one!!!!!!! 😃😃😃

[@craftynannykaz7824]

[@lynnechinnock4020]

I just love the steel colour on your hair Monique. I’ve gone au la natural this year, but love this. Wise words. Be nice to each other. ❤️

[@normahl9086]

I’m so glad to see you, I’ve been missing your videos. I try to copy these looks, but the only one I’m good at is when put my hair up eith an elasticated hair piece around the little ponytail. But thanks for the ideas. Lov’n’xxs, Nx

[@olgasa6943]

So im your new subby. You do everything beatifully. Another thing i really like is you dont do all these huge eyebrows. Im thinking about using your tutorials since i rarely wear makeup!
