Step-by-Step Makeup Guide for Women Over 40 - Easy to do and flawless

[@Patti-1962]

Hey Marlena, thank you so much for remembering those of us who have mature skin. I am 61 and have normal skin, not much oil to deal with and I don't have dry skin either. My favorite thing to do is mix a my Wet n Wild Tinted Hydrator with a more matte foundation so the makeup stays put. I like to spray a setting spray before I use any powder ( I use the smallest amount possible!) Love the Catrice Illuminating setting spray ( my skin hates anything with alcohol in it.) Since retirement and my desire to buy for five, gorgeous grandchildren, I have moved to affordable makeup. I was thrilled to see you use the Maybelline Fit Me foundation!! I love it! Again, I am so very thankful for your videos, full of makeup techniques, not more makeup to buy!!

[@aoyhan5757]

Agreed!

[@changeeyecolor3891]

I like your video very much.

[@changeeyecolor3891]

Hi Marlena, thank you for being a platform for us over 40 crowd! I’m 56 and I’m obsessed with makeup! So, learning new techniques is always appreciated. ❤

We plucked our eyebrows right through the generations. If I was on an island and only allowed one product, most would rush for mascara but not me... It would be an eyebrow pencil. Simply transforms your face. Don't make the brow too arched and high but try to keep it natural. We all are beautiful and can enhance ourselves. Just love the way you tell it Marlena, you are beautiful inside and out 💖

I'm 52 now, but I've been watching makeup tutorials on YT since I was in my late 30's. My anatomy has changed on my face and my eyes are now very deep set. I can't do my eye makeup like I used to 18 years ago. I have no fat pads left on my eyes. It's basically just bone and skin. Nice to see MUA's helping us mature ladies.

[@CorrinnaPole]

This is so helpful. I've never got foundation. I'm a redhead with freckles so I've never been able to figure out what looks good and especially natural on me. I want my make up to look natural and improve my skin and features, maybe decreasing my redness a bit. Everytime I put it on though my pores show and anywhere I might have blemishes end up looking flakey even if I moisturize and use primer. My sensitive combo skin hates me but I will try some of these steps.

Thank you so much for this video! I learned so much! Do you have any tips for eyelashes that just will not curl? One of my eyes will curl and the other just sticks out straight, no matter how much I use the eyelash curler. It's so frustrating for me because I do not want to wear fake lashes.

I love this video! Thank you for your tips. I feel as though I’m the only 45 year old that still has very oily skin. I still use all powder products, as creams and liquids literally just melt off me. Do you have any suggestions to help with the oil control that do not contain any silicones, as I am allergic to them. I don’t use foundation or concealer. Just powder products all the way. Luckily, my skin is really good, and I have nothing I want to cover up. Thanks!

It still helps to curl them up, but be careful to always clean it so it doesn't stick to lashes and pull them xoxo

Marlena, I love your makeup tips, and I've been following you for a long time. Can you suggest how to bronze over hyperpigmentation melasma? I have thyroid issues that brought on melasma, which is on my cheeks and lightly on my forehead. I definitely struggle applying makeup on my 49 year old face. Thanks for this video!❤

[@MarlenaStell]

The most pigmented foundation I have ever tried is Dermablend Foundation- but use it like a concealer as it's SUPER pigmented. You can dab on the melasma parts to even out

I loved all your tips Marlena. Do you think the O/S powder is better than the givenchy prisme powder for fine lines under dry eyes? I have the givenchy one but I still see lines. I use the shiseido concealer. Also, my chin is super dry. What serum and moisturizer should I use for my dry sensitive skin? I have some rosacea bumps too. My skin has changed so much in my 40s. What cleanser do you recommend?

[@Kwhorre]

Hey Marlena, are the powder cushions single use? If reusable, do you wash like the foundation sponges? Thanks in advance!

[@Spark1221]

Marlena, I respect your expertise and passion and love your content so much! Thanks for making these wonderful in-depth videos. 🙏 Recently, Wayne Goss (another OG KZbinr with a kind heart!) made a video about his honest experience with Merit. It rattled me, and made me reconsider wanting to buy from them, for sure. No drama here, just prefer not to support companies that support an arrogant culture and/or treat people badly. Because I respect your insider-knowledge and integrity so much, I'm eager to know your thoughts + experience with Merit...? Thanks. xx

[@MarlenaStell]

I have had good experiences with Merit myself, but I'm not sure what Wayne's experience was. I enjoyed my products and never had issues with my orders?
