ELF Cosmetics - Affordable and Quality Makeup - Perfect for Older Women

I have officially fallen in love with ELF cosmetics. They are a drugstore brand who in my opinion has products that can hold their own against many luxury brands. In fact, I actually prefer them to high-end brands in many cases.
In this video I play with ELF products, applying a full face of my favorite products but also sharing many of the others that I think might be perfect for older skin. My skin is very dry at the moment, but no matter what your skin color or texture, ELF is bound to have a fabulous, affordable product for you.
Even though I managed to smudge eyeshadow on my chin at the end of the video - I know it sounds impossible but i did it - the look turned out to be quite beautiful - for me at least!
Please share your ELF favorites!
Here are the products I applied:
Growing Younger Gracefully Face Serum - not ELF but my go-to favorite face serum www.growingyou...
ELF Putty Primer - www.elfcosmeti...
ELF Radiant Foundation - bit.ly/3anYmna
ELF E.L.F., Primer-Infused Bronzer, Forever Sunkissed,

This ELF selection was lovely on you. I am inspired to do just a little more. At 82 I use only blush and occasionally, my brows. A you say, why not enjoy the process of a little makeup - we are still women, after all.

[@rennie823]

I think you are a very happy person. I'm 70 and having a rather awful time with ageing. My mom died at 53 and was so pretty. Anyway, dear Lady I'm glad I found your channel. You are so lovely!!! Rock on!!!

[@juliesciulla]

You’ve got to be the most pleasant person to watch and listen to that I’ve encountered in quite a long time. You’re just wonderful 💞

[@sixtyandme]

Thank you Julie - you are so sweet!!

[@kitchenwitch04]

I totally agree with Julie. You're smile is just so genuine and you have such a happy personality, I couldn't help but smile as I watched how much you enjoyed doing your makeup and sharing your finds! 🙂

[@susancassidyBE1973]

She really is a dear person ♥️

[@joycegilkey3677]

You have such a happy smile. I'm glad I found you. You're a lovely lady. I will be 76 in a couple of days.

[@blkbrn1952]

I seldom watch entire videos, mostly I just skip through them but I realized half way through that I had been watching all of it. So nice to find someone near my age, I'm 68, who loves make up and has such a sweet personality. You are very inspiring to especially to us older women. Thank you.

[@sixtyandme]

Glad you like them!

[@princessmich4628]

ELF proves you don’t have to spend a fortune to look fantastic! Thanks for the review Margaret! 😊👍🏻

[@susanmarie2231]

Margaret - I love your presentation style. You don’t ramble, you get to the point, you never waste my time. I will be perfectly honest and share that some of the other women with KZbin channels who are over 60 I can’t watch because their delivery system does not resonate with me. I highly appreciate you and always look forward to your lovely, gracious, interesting videos. Thank you. You’re tops with me!

[@patricia7947]

Very pretty look! I like that you're just putting on some make-up the old fashioned way, some of these techniques the influencers use are more night-time looks in my opinion.

[@sixtyandme]

Thank you so much!!

[@roseyc.5846]

Margaret, you're becoming such a beauty maven! ELF is a great brand; I discovered it at a Kmart here in the states years ago, when all their products were $1.00, lol. Still great quality, even then. I really like your approach to application. You look lovely..thank you for yet another great video! Many blessings to you; stay well. Rosemarie 💖

[@karenhorton2345]

Elf has come out with a holy hydration line with hydrating putty primer

[@liabeachy]

The pinks looks so lovely on you😊 .ty for sharing 💜

[@sixtyandme]

Thanks for watching

[@cindiwall6306]

You are a gracious lady and really enjoyed the video. I am 71 and not into all the exotic makeup and you just did the basics and it WORKS. I will try ELF.

[@mimzyc9949]

I love how you embrace your age and skin. I’m trying hard to do that myself. I love ELF because it allows me to experiment with “looks”. Not sure about pink eye shadow. It makes me look like I’ve been crying but love the other choices. Love your videos. Stay well

[@kcloveonaleash]

Pass on the pink shadow😉

[@donnagaither1932]

This was lovely. I think it was so much fun because the expectations were not so high with lower priced cosmetics. You can have fun applying and playing with all the options. And in the end, be so pleasantly surprised at how good they look on your skin. Everything thing you used seemed really nice. Thanks for bringing these makeup videos to us. You give us a wide range of companies to look at. Keep up the good work!!❤️

[@antoinettelewellen4808]

I like Elf , thank you Margaret. I enjoy watching you apply the make up! 🥰

[@annieportier3584]

This was VERY enjoyable to watch! I'm 75 and use your techniques for applying eye shadow as well. The simpler the better in my opinion. Thank you for posting!!

[@sixtyandme]

You are so welcome!

[@BR-kk9qu]

This was a wonderful tutorial on ELF! I have slowly been replacing my cosmetics with this brand. I have never been so pleased. You do not look to be in your 70's!

[@sixtyandme]

You are so welcome!

[@karenvictoria7530]

You are just adorable and so enjoyable to watch. I am also a woman of a certain age and have also loved makeup. I will continue to watch your channel and am really focused on affordable makeup. Again, you are such a sweetheart and I just want to wish you much success and joy!

[@carolperdue7534]

Very pretty Margaret! I use some of the same products from ELF too. The primer infused blush is a favorite in the color Always Spicy. I also like the pallet called Hot Jalapeno in the eyeshadow. It looks good against my dark skin. Tfs! ❤

[@spiritsoffashion]

I really loved this video, and I'm excited to try more elf products! I'm 63 years old, so I definitely have had to make changes in some of the products that I use. The elf products look gorgeous on your skin!!

[@melonyandmolly]

Always enjoy your videos, though I rarely comment (and I should). I just delight in your positivity and always end the watching with a smile. That means a lot to me. 🥰~Melony

[@helenwilliamson7099]

Hi Margaret, l love elf it's one of my favourites, I use most of what uv shown and I luv the bronzer, soo pretty on you and love the pink 💖💖💖

[@bethbrown7911]

This was so informative! I am so glad to find a cosmetic line that is affordable, thanks to you!

[@heatherb5736]

Hi Margaret, You mentioned you have lots of Elf products you wish you could share. Perhaps you need to do a series of Elf products, trying different looks! This video was very enjoyable to watch, and you look lovely! Cheers!

[@heidiking1100]

I love E.L.F! I am 62 and have been wearing make up since age 14. I discovered E.L.F. When I was on a shoestring budget upon my daughters suggestion. impressive! Great products with awesome performance, not to mention the amazing prices. I am " firing" most of my extension of other brands because they can't compare with E.L.F. I am on their email list and they always seem to have a great promotion or bonus offer. Ty for this video tutorial. Loved it!

[@karenmiddleton1681]

I recently purchased the elf gel retractable eyeliner. I use it to tightline my top lid and it is the best of any I have used. It does not transfer and stays for hours. Love it. Will have to try more Elf.

[@lorilino7425]

You look gorgeous in pink! I learn something new from every one of your videos. Thanks for all you share with us. You always lift my mood and make me smile. 😀😷💄🌼💕

[@sixtyandme]

You are so welcome!

[@beatricemillar6802]

You once again made great choices, Elf is one of my favourites especially the eyeshadows and Blushes you can’t go wrong I think I might try that lipstick colour. Hugs Bea

[@sanlo613]

You are such a lovely woman. Love your simplicity in use of these products. Thoroughly enjoyed your video!

[@antoinettelewellen4808]

The before is beautiful , and also the after! 😊🌟🙏

[@sixtyandme]

Thank you so much 😀

[@reikiwithcary2682]

As always Margaret you look youthful and gorgeous! The make up application really matches the youthfulness of your new hairdo as well! Thanks for showcasing elf- I do love their putty primer... have a wonderful rest of the weekend!💚

[@Schiltax]

I love the E.L.F. line of makeup. It works well for me and I can afford it which is wonderful. Keep sharing the videos! ❤

[@sparkytoday8455]

This was fun, Margaret you always make me smile, thank you!

[@YvonneJ10]

OMG! -- I was so enthralled with your video and demonstrations of the E.L.F. products. As a 64yrs young lady, I needed some type of breakdown of the website's products! So much to choose but thank you for sharing your wealth and knowledge -- it was a joy to watch you as I have just discovered E.L.F. and now I've discovered you! Thank you! ❤❤

[@debandgigi]

I have to say this is such a fresh and clean look.

[@soph8164]

You are one beautiful lady before and after! I also do well with pinks and love your choice of colors- Thank you for sharing the color names😘

[@bonjoy]

You are lovely! I only have some elf brushes but I will certainly try some of the products now that I’ve seen how wonderful they look on you! 😊❤️

[@cathyschweid5852]

"Wow! This was informative. I have just gotten into the elf, and now going to do some more shopping. I'm so glad I found your channel. I will be turning 70 this year, still work full time and make up everyday. Seeing this video helped me not think I'm getting too old for this as much as I love make up and what it can do for us physically and mentally. In my 20's and 30's I worked Este lauder, Clinique, Elizabeth Arden, cosmetic counters in department stores so I was so used to high end that it's been kinda difficult breaking that habit, although I do love Revlon also. And I discovered "IT' cosmetics, which is nice too. Also now who want's to spend a lot of money on cosmetics. My priority now is skin care...You look absolutely beautiful! Thank you, and I subscribed!

[@kcloveonaleash]

Me too! Worked for Macy's when I was younger and was a makeup counter junkie on breaks🤣. So glad all these affordable options are out there

[@pamarena2716]

The Elf looks great 👍🏼 ... I will have to go shopping soon for some elf ... I already am a fan of elf ... and you of course 🌷

[@thesilverlining8361]

My favorite eyeshadow brush is the ELF brand. I also like their eyeshadows. Thanks for sharing!

[@gracerossi3900]

Ladies ...you are ALL beautiful with and without makeup!😌Embrace your lovely self👍

[@WhisperingPines7]

What a happy surprise! Margaret you look lovely! I’ll have to give Elf a try. 💖

[@doloresdieppa3887]

Yayyyy I got you back in my life, you’re one of my favorites. Blessings to you Margaret 🙏♥️

[@lpetite8636]

You look wonderful, I most certainly will be trying the Elf products.

[@brendadavis8758]

I am 64 and retired last March. Since then, I have almost completely given up makeup. I just use a blush and lipstick now. Watching your videos and other You Tube channels for women over 60 in the last few days has made me want to go out and buy makeup and start wearing something other than sweats (which I have been wearing almost exclusively since Covid-19.)

[@jeanne1271]

Oh my goodness!! You are so pretty ! Thank you so much for sharing ! Im 65 and you are my new favorite you tuber ! Please keep putting out videos !!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@katecarr8986]

I truly did enjoy this video! Thank you for sharing the E.L.F. products, Much love my friend 💕

[@Ladybug_62]

I’m turning 60 in a month and boy am I having some challenges with my makeup looking nice right now.. I l’m new to your page and I love it!!

[@georgiahennriksen4168]

Same here! I turned 60 and seemed to age overnight. 🤣

[@nancybardon6285]

Thank you from all us senior ladies, we need your recommendations to continue to look groomed and well maintained but age appropriate. You are lovely! Perfect tips, I needed these!

[@shellychatelain2049]

Love the pink shades.....looks so pretty on you💖

[@torycook1215]

Love love your new hairdrew Margaret. So complimentary to your face 💃🌹

[@deeb8733]

One of your best looks and videos. I love the elf clear gloss!! My favorite tubing mascara is from THRIVE!!

[@judysbakeryandtestkitchen1654]

I’m going to need to try Elf! Especially the brow and eyeshadow products. Thank you!!!

[@judysbakeryandtestkitchen1654]

Margaret, just ordered taupe Wow Brow from Target. I’m having a tough time figuring out their color selector, though, for foundation I got the light Maybelline Age Rewind after hearing your comments . Not sure if it’s too light, but it definitely gets rid of my dark circles I bought it from Sally, with my birthday coupon. If I return Age Rewind to Sally, I lose out on my birthday coupon.

[@joyce7310]

This was a wonderful video,Margaret. I love your amazing attitude. Pink is your color.You look absolutely beautiful. I use many ELF products. Vegan and cruelty free is important to me. Another one I just discovered is Colorpop.Also,inexpensive and they have fabulous eye shadow palettes for summer.I look forward to seeing your different looks!

[@moonbeanification]

I'm so happy I found your channel Margaret. You are the embodiment of loveliness, generosity, and grace. Be blessed !!! ♥♥♥

[@sixtyandme]

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much

[@patricianeal6964]

Margaret, elf looks beautiful on you ! I have used some of their products and was very pleased! Have a lovely day!

[@PaleOpal21]

Just to let you know, the camo concealer comes in a hydrating formula and it's very moisturizing.

[@marilyn6556]

Thank you for this video of Elf products!!! I have been using some of their products over the years, and the eyebrow brush on is my Holy Grail product! It’s perfect! That pink eye shadow looks fabulous on you! I can’t wear pink on my eyes but I am going to check out the other colors. I love your videos!!!❤️

[@lolly2222aa]

I LOVE ELF. Their brushes are FANTASTIC and just bought the primer and brush. Perfect. I am a top fan and btw you look fabulous

[@sunnsag2654]

WOW!!! Lookin' good pretty lady! :D I bend my mascara wand brush to a 90`degree angle which works better (for me) when applying than having it straight :)

[@nancybarrett6266]

I've noticed your necklace in all of your videos, if you don't mind I'd like to hear the story behind it 😉 I enjoy you & all the stories from your life.I appreciate hearing them. So I'm sending you hugs & happiness from my home here in Ga.

[@OffTheClockNow]

You are the most authentic, inspiring, encouraging...the list seems endless the more I watch... role model for aging graciously!! Thank you!

[@sixtyandme]

thank you Sheila

[@KathrynPayne-g2h]

Iv gotten so addicted to your podcasts! Keep it going please !

[@LBoyer-ru1pp]

I’ve been off line for awhile and seems returning just in time. I love your shorter and very flattering hair style. Also loved all of the ELF products you’ve used and the applications. Haven’t been wearing much makeup for the last year and think I need to toss many old ones and restart fresh. And restarting with ELF seems perfect. Thank you so much and look forward to being a regular viewer again.

[@sixtyandme]

Welcome back!

[@gunniemolo9186]

I love your lid space! Beautiful, I’m experimenting because of your enthusiasm.

[@stephanietorres5679]

This video is about the best but you look good in all of them. You are stunning in pink!!

[@elizabethkamras897]

E.L.F. is a great make-up line. They also have affordable skin care and they are cruelty free. You look lovely!! I have been using their mascara for several years and thankfully they have matte shadows. Thank you for reviewing.

[@lindamoser6317]

Enjoyed the video. I have just started using Elf products and love the prices.

[@JillKirchner]

You look so radiant! I think you get prettier every video, Margaret. I think I will check out ELF. You are absolutely lovely with these products.

[@JillKirchner]

I also love that you don't put on gobs of thick goop on your face. I live in a humid area, and have found that I have no interest in filling my pores with product. Skin care and a light touch with makeup is the way to go. I love to look natural with pink cheeks to look healthy, not like a movie star. Sheer makeup is a must in a humid climate.🤩

[@yva-l5r]

You're an example of beauty exuding from the inside out. Great skin and great demo of the products! Thanks for sharing.

[@sixtyandme]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@margaretmacinnes1519]

Good morning Margaret, This is a great video!! Always appreciate cruelty free product lines and it is exciting to know that Elf exists and the outcome is so beautiful 💕

You are so welcome!

[@maryhrabik2066]

I love shopping for great quality, affordable makeup! You look lovely in pink! I've tried putting a darker shade of eyeshadow on the corner "V" portion of my eyes and it just doesn't look right on me. Thank you for showing me that eyeshadow just on the lid area looks beautiful. I enjoy your informative videos. ❤

[@dalindav]

I just turned 60, but I still have oily, sensitive skin. I really enjoyed your video!! You’re just adorable!! Thank you for this video.. I have tried the Camo Concealer, it’s very much comparable to the Tarte Shape Tape which is the only thing that works on my dark circles..

[@florencepearce7782]

Hi Margaret this is the first time I've come across your website and I'm 73 years old and I was really really appreciated the use of the elf products I've recently started using them and I really like them. And by the way I live in Ontario Canada. I specially like their little eyeshadows.

[@sixtyandme]

Welcome aboard!

[@jgriffin282]

Your makeup for a mature woman is lovely. Thank you. I’m starting to use more Elf cosmetics. Their eyeshadows are beautiful. And I have used very expensive eyeshadows. I’m liking Elf mor and more.

[@sixtyandme]

You are so welcome!

[@sharonanderson3942]

ELF products are amazing for the price point. I couldn't tell exactly which one of the Putty Primers you have but having just purchased one a couple of weeks ago for the first time I learned there are 3 formulas. The white one is matte finish. There is one called Luminous. The one I bought is the pink one which is very hydrating, infused with Squalane. I'm guessing the matte finish might blur pores better but the pink formula is so luxurious on the skin. The hydration lasts all day, I just love it since we are still in the dry winter months here. The matte finish might be better for summer months depending on your skin. Thank you Margaret for a wonderful video as always!

[@stephaniewhite5644]

I really like elf products, they are affordable and easy to use. Thank you for this video, and the colors you chose look beautiful on you. 🥰💕🌺

[@patriciakeegan4228]

I love their face cleanser...one of the few cleansers that I do not need a separate eye makeup remover...huge for me!

[@holly3905]

I use elf makeup but never tried their skincare...great tip, I’ll try it!

[@claudinejames7731]

You really look lovely in this colour and your makeup is perfect! For me I think that satin matte elf lipstick is my favorite one you showed. the prices are great, not a big investment for a lot of fun and brightens up the day. Thank you again, I apprciate the notes below on all the products you have experimented and shown to us so I can come back later and see when I try to find some of these on line.

[@brendatyndall9292]

I've just discovered ELF products so your review is so timely. So helpful, thank you.

[@ClareW1959]

Sooo much better to watch than these influencers. Makes a nice change.

[@jeanetteanderson3912]

Another great video. I use ELF products and love them all that I have tried. It is wonderful to have so many affordable items to choose from. The cruelty free is fantastic. I hope that all products will go to that someday. Thanks again for the great tips. Have a great weekend 🐶💕

[@saramaloney6082]

I love the concealer highlighter duo. Can’t say enough! I’m an esthetician and have tried so many. It is truly radiant. I can’t seem to find lately in Canada so I ordered on eBay. I do have dark circles and lines. I use it in the inner corners and down the darkest part. And very sparingly on any veins outside of that with a brush. Stay away from the lines. Best thing I every did in my application. I also use a colour corrector sometimes as needed.

[@sashabelle728]

Thanks so much for your review. It was so helpful. I've been using their brushes for years (back when they were $1 & $2 each). You are so pretty and showcased the versatility of the makeup so well. Thanks again.
