No Makeup, No Confidence? You Are not Alone

[@StayFabulouswithNisha]

In this video, we’re unpacking why so many of us feel less confident without makeup. From first impressions and societal pressure to personal insecurities, I’m diving into the real reasons behind that bare-faced vulnerability. I’ll share my own story-why makeup feels like part of my daily routine, not just a beauty tool, and how it helps me feel more like myself. Plus, we’ll explore the history of makeup (did you know Cleopatra rocked eyeliner for more than just the looks?) and why it’s okay to love makeup without letting it define you. 💄 Let’s chat! Drop a comment and share how you feel without makeup. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and join the conversation-you’re beautiful, makeup or no makeup!

I totally agree with you! I am 68 years old and would not think of going out of my house without makeup or not having my hair done! I have been doing this for 40 plus years and I don’t think it will ever change no matter how old I get!!

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

I have to admit, I have only worn make-up for special occasions, dates, weddings, funerals, birthdays, etc... never bothered for work, never had the time with working full-time, clean house, kids and stepkids to look after, cart kids to sports, dance, music, etc. However, when I turned 60, I was so sick, I had to retire early and I've spent the last couple of years 'finding myself'... and I have to say Nisha, you have been one of the beacons of light that have helped me find myself and re-evaluate my life and find new interests, new paths.. and I did a big declutter of clothes and freshened up my wardrobe, got interested in make-up and my make-up collection has tripled or more in size, with some highend brands, that I never would have spent that money on myself before!! And I never had the time to 'waste' on myself!! So now, I am happy to spend time on myself, I see myself as value, use all the fancy skincare products, and although I had 'good skin', I can see a definate improvement in fine lines and wrinkles... I feel i deserve some nice new clothes and i really enjoy dressing up just to go to the shops 😊

[@donlefarsace1794]

I agree with you! I feel better about myself if I look good. I wouldn’t go even to Walmart without makeup! If someone happens by, I want to look my best.

[@RedPill77777]

Same here

[@annettehankins3268]

I just feel insecure without my makeup & hair done & dressed well. Every time I go to the store looking my worst, I see everyone I know!!

[@laurieanncarter8726]

I love my makeup. I started wearing it in my mid teens. I stopped from about 2013 to 2023 because I was dealing with several illnesses including hair loss. I just gave up. I felt so defeated. it was about August of 2013 I took the plunge and got myself a wig. It sparked the life back into me and I started wearing a bit of makeup again too. Now I'm back to full glam lol, makeup, lashes, pretty wigs of all styles and colors. It makes me feel better and look better even on my worst days.

[@carolynhamilton3316]

I’m a wig wearer too, because of hair loss, and it even makes what you are wearing look better! Love my wigs!

[@laurieanncarter8726]

@@carolynhamilton3316 I agree, it really does.

[@jog5289]

So sorry to hear of your health struggles. I'm glad you've found a way to feel better. I can relate somewhat to your story. I think I started wearing make-up in my later teens, but I've had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for the past 7 years, (since being 52 years old), & have been house-bound for the past 3 years, and on my worst days I don't have the energy to put make-up on. If I'm having a visitor, on a better day, I do wear make-up. Prior to CFS I wore mascara and lipstick every single day to match my olive complexion. I have never watched so much KZbin in all my life as since I've had CFS. Nisha's Channel is lovely and brings me a lot of joy, and I've learnt a lot of make-up tips from her, so when I have visitors I do a whole face of make-up now. Take care. Blessings Jo (NZ) 💛 PS. I definitely don't want to be seen without make-up on.

[@debshomegarden8501]

Nisha, that vase and flower arrangement next to you are gorgeous x

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

Yes, i liked that, wonder if its new?

[@tinaranghelli9233]

I don’t feel insecure without makeup but I want to look polished & look like I made an effort in how I present myself. I work with women who look like they rolled out of bed & came to work. I am definitely a makeup girly, lay out my cloths for the day & style my hair. I will do it to the day I die.

[@Sunnyinnorcal86]

I don’t leave my house without looking my best. First I love using make up! It’s so fun! It’s soothing and my quiet time. I was told very early on that if you look good you feel good!🎉❤

[@cindykane6227]

Heck yeah, I wont leave my house without mascara and eyeliner, even when im in my garden. I grew up in a church where no makeup was allowed, and alot of strict rules. Im still a christian, and I dont feel guilty, I feel better.😊

[@lynnefusco5320]

I’m 75 Nisha and I wouldn’t dream over going outside the door without makeup and yes I think the same as you that you want to look good for your husband too even after being married for 52yrs . You have taught me so much about makeup so thankyou !❤️

[@DianaFendley]

I'm 73, and been wearing makeup since I was 14. I even wear makeup to do yard work. I feel totally naked without it, and like to look my best, that will never change. I think it says a lot about a person if they care about their appearance.

[@StayFabulouswithNisha]

Thank you x

[@martyward8997]

I'm also 75..unfortunately I have alot of wrinkles..even though I've always cared for my skin...I think not I'm invisible....

[@LooksLikeLaura]

I love this discussion! I always ALWAYS feel better if I have my makeup on and my hair done. And I notice if I’m out in my sweats with no makeup and hair up in a bun, people treat me differently than if I have put my makeup on and done my hair. It’s truly an impression you give off to people. And it’s just true that every woman looks better with a little effort to look nice ❤️ and have a friendly personality!

[@debbiewalker8713]

I don’t wear makeup if I’m staying in, but if I go out, even to the grocery store, I need a small amount on. I live in a city where I would never run into anyone I know, so I just feel better about myself mainly. I’ve always been a self conscious woman, not in a vain way. I’m also very pale, and do feel like I need a little color. I live in Las Vegas, but I stay out of the sun. I look like a tourist from the Midwest, because I am from the Midwest. 🙄 I think just do what makes you happy. Life is too short not to ! 🥰🥰

[@RedPill77777]

Louis & his Snoring is SO PRECIOUS 🥰❤🐶❤

[@Melissa-mz3qu]

Awww it was so sweet

[@Debbie-kt6ck]

Taking care of yourself is important I think, I’m a little older than you and struggle with foundation even with a primer it makes my lines look deeper so I switched to tinted moisturiser and spot treating areas with a good concealer I use the Lancôme one, always blush, always eyebrows on and a lippy, always get my hair done on a regular basis, I also use ziip halo, so why do I do this? It’s for me, it gives me confidence and I enjoy it😁 Louie’s snoring is comforting, love to the little fella❤

[@janredfern3218]

My mother always said if the barn needed painting, you should paint it. I always have lipstick on and some blush and some perfume and basically I just try to look as best I can. I feel better when I look as best I can.

[@carmencarlson7365]

You are saying everything I always thought myself. Nice to hear it from someone else!

[@deborahluongo6794]

Nisha, we share so much of the thoughts and values! I too even if I had the flu. Or sick always take a shower and put on make up and do my hair. My mom who suffered from cancer back in 86 and passed away,made up always did her hair and she always said when you’re sick, you still get up put your make up on and do your hair and you will always feel better. I have always followed that advice. My mother was a model and one of my aunts were so was I! That being said did not have to follow in their footsteps, but because I love a little bit of that glamour, getting dressed every morning putting my make up on is, my natural routine. The only time I don’t wear make up well I do put mascara and eyeliner is when we are on a cruise or go to the beach lol. I too don’t make up for anybody else, but myself and I dress for myself. However, it is nice for my husband of 43 years to always hand me a compliment and I agree with you totally just age gracefully Anyway enjoyed this video and your chat. You are very creative. Looking forward to your next one.

[@joprice200]

There are times when I go without makeup if I'm cleaning or running errands, and I admit that I feel different when I don't look my best. There's something about getting ready for the day and feeling and looking your best.

[@TheAngelaDuke]

Excellent video, Nisha! When I delivered my 2nd son 33 years ago, I went in without a stitch of makeup. The next day, the nurse who helped deliver my son came into my room and stared at me (I had a full face of makeup on when she walked in). She didn't think I was the same person that delivered my son the day before. What does that tell you about me wearing no makeup! I never forgot it, and because of that, I hardly ever went out of the house without makeup. But lately, the older I get, I venture out without makeup. I was young and naive when I was in my early 30's. Age is a wonderful thing. Best, Angela

[@BetsAnderson]

I agree with you completely.

[@utesedlacek9269]

I’m so glad that the trend goes to a nude looking makeup ! I think too much makeup makes you look older😊

[@StayFabulouswithNisha]

I am not trying to look younger so I don't care if makeup makes me look older, I care that it makes me feel better

[@pandora_3314]

I’m with you! I have rosacea with lots of redness and broken capillaries so I won’t leave the house without foundation. I think it’s fun to play with makeup and it makes me happy. You have to do what makes you feel good.

[@SRAshley100]

Very good topic! I do and I do not wear makeup. I live in the country and grow a big garden. In the summertime it is extremely hot and humid and when going out to do my garden makeup would just be useless and a sweaty mess. I am okay if a neighbor happened to pull in the drive and of course, I am okay being around my husband without it. When I go to town or grocery shopping I try to present my best. Yesterday, my husband and I were coming home and out of the blue he said, you are a very attractive woman for 68 years old. I cannot tell you how good that made me feel as he is a man that doesn’t give compliments lightly and seldom. I will be extremely honest here it took me years to be comfortable with myself and to know my value. My married life started with my first husband leaving me with a 2 year old and pregnant for another woman. I lost all of my self confidence. I apologize this is lengthy, but I do find it an interesting topic and love hearing your take on it and reading the comments.

[@StayFabulouswithNisha]

Thank you for sharing your story, I think that the older we get the more comfortable we become with ourselves because by now we know who we are and what we like xx

[@LoisLoves]

I would love to be that girl who looks great with her hair pulled back and no makeup but that's not me. I don't like seeing myself with no makeup so I'm pretty sure nobody else would. 😂😂😂 I don't feel ready for my day until the teeth are brushed, the face is washed, the skincare applied, my makeup done, and my hair fixed. It is such a part of my daily ritual I can't imagine not doing it. My dad was always very particular about his grooming even though he was a farmer. I asked him once if I would ever stop caring about my appearance and he said no, never. Loved this video.

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

I do agree with you Nisha, we don't like our husbands to 'let themselves go' big beer belly, bad clothes, bad breath, messy long greasy hair....yuk! We expect them to retain their looks, so I think we need to also put in some effort too....and if it makes us feel good, noone should try and bring us down just because they are too lazy or cant be bothered to maintain themselves!! (Ive never heard you tell someone they should wear make-up because they look too boring!! So how dare they tell you you wear too much!!! As I said, I didn't have time daily, but now I do, and I love it when my husband says 'wow, you look great, where are we going?" As he is used to me doing make-up because we were going somewhere special! And its taken a while for him to say, "wow you look great", and not think we are going out!!😂❤

[@rhondag2926]

Louie is very busy!, 😂 leave him alone. 😂😂😂

[@maureenormston8356]

Totally agree, do what makes you happy 👍. I'll be 70 in March, very happily retired, living alone and wear make up almost every day, even if I'm not leaving the house. For years I had horses and never bothered wearing make up to muck out stables or ride out (although I did wear make up for work so would have it on at evening stables but definitely not on a weekend unless I was going out in the evening afterwards). It's each to their own isn't it, do what makes you happy and feel good about yourself.

[@sunset4ever29]

I feel better with make-up, and it is a routine, like brushing your teeth and hair. I think everyone should use make-up to enhance and not hide. I try not to judge someone who has on long false lashes and too much foundation. I usually think whatever makes them feel better, but I do initially think, less is better. I don't put on make-up to mask myself, but to make myself feel better, but people really ought to thank me for sparing them the initial shock in seeing me without make-up.

[@Sandra.Viewer]

I'm all about embracing my natural look, but there's something about having my eyebrows done that makes me feel more polished 😌

[@kimhough7753]

I totally agree with you Nisha! I feel better when I have on makeup. I started wearing mascara when I was 13 years old and a full face by the time I was 16. I love makeup!! I look much better with makeup than without. Loved this chat! Love ya! ❤❤❤

[@Sweetpeas12]

I'll nip to the shop with no makeup, I've got braver just hit my 60's but not when I'm going out out. You normally find it's like a school reunion in the local supermarket when you've not done your face 😂 x

[@Nina-r6m3m]

Loved this Nisha 😊😊...interesting to hear your thoughts and i totally agree with all you've said! I've had comments all my adult life (some sarcy😬), about always having makeup on and implying i must really "fancy myself"😮, but in reality, it's the opposite! ...... i'm very unconfident with no make up on and almost become a different person once i put my face on! I will be wearing makeup until my dying day😅😅. Xxx😊😊

[@nancydespain9915]

Nisha, I totally agree with everything you've said. These are all the same reasons I wear makeup. I always have. And yes, women need to stop judging those of us who enjoy it!

[@aliceinwonderland.2080]

Hi Nisha. This was such an interesting subject in your video today. I have worn make up for many years and the reason I began in my mid teens ( apart from at school!) was that I’ve always loved art, aesthetics and fashion. I’ve never worn foundation but when I highlighted my eyes and lips I felt that it enhanced my facial features. Many years later and now in my late 60’s, I think it’s a case of my feeling and looking better with,rather than without, make up. If I’m not going out, I don’t bother but I’m lucky as I have really clear skin and also it’s good to have a day free of wearing make up. However, if I go out the front door, I feel so much better if I look like I’ve made an effort and maybe that’s part of my wanting to look my best as I’m aging. Whatever, a regular cleansing and moisturising routine is essential with or without makeup up! Xx❤️🥰P.S My Pug is a snorer too !!😂🐾❤️

[@suemcclintock6835]

Good Morning Nisha. I absolutely loved this video.❤ Makeup to me is a personal choice I make to live my absolute best life. I take pride and look after my self in all aspects such as diet, exercise, supplements, skincare etc. I take care of my home and family with the same care. Life is such a privilege so why not give it your absolute best. I wouldn’t walk out of the door without foundation and eye makeup! It’s transformative to the soul and I love the whole process of self care and ritual. Plus it just makes me feel lovely! I’m 68 and find so much enjoyment in makeup and the whole discipline of cherishing life and making myself look my best! Thank you so much Nisha for your wonderful videos. I laugh along with you! ❤❤❤

[@lisaneinast4425]

Since I began wearing makeup as a teenager I have always worn it. Now that I’m older( 62) I feel I look older without it! When you have thin or light eyelashes , your eyes completely disappear without makeup! It’s always a part of my daily routine! Even if I’m staying home and cleaning I’m going to be wearing some if not all of my makeup!

[@micheleramirez6769]

I would agree with what you are saying. Basically you do you. I also enjoy putting on makeup. Some days a full face and other days very light makeup. 😊

[@lindahoward3597]

I definitely think make-up helps you look your best, the icing on the cake so to speak, every morning I look forward to putting mine on because it always makes a nice start to the day and makes me feel better Xx

[@Oldwoman1977]

I’ve only ever worn a small amount if makeup to work. The minute I got home, I scrubbed it off. Now I’m retired, I still dress well, rarely wear makeup. It irritates my eyes, plus I wear glasses. I’m lucky to always have been blessed with good skin, no spots etc.

[@MaryAnderson-c4c]

I would never go out of the house without make-up. It’s part of my identity. It started for me when I was around 14. I am very very fair with light blue eyes. My eyelashes and eyebrows are so very fair so I need make-up to give me features. As a teenager, when I started wearing contact lenses and got into makeup-up it was like a whole new world!! I always say I’m like a newly born albino mole without my make-up!!!😂😂😂 I completely agree with you Nisha…it’s make-up for yourself, no-one else. I feel so much less confident without make-up and I just love experimenting with different products and looks. I really love how it can make you feel. Thanks for this chat! Mary (your Scottish sista from a different mista living in France)🤗

[@StayFabulouswithNisha]

a newly born albino mole 😂😂😂, I feel like a witch lol

[@mora0670]

I love makeup worn it since I was 14 it makes me feel good about myself and it makes me happy. Its a positive thing.Each to their own I say ,do whatever makes you feel happy.Interesting hearing about the history 💄 💋 ❤

[@maryberg9029]

Excellent video, Nisha! I feel exactly the same way that you do. And, when I'm well groomed with my make up on I really do feel better about myself, which makes me a much more productive woman for the day which in turn benefits others! Keep up the great videos; I've been watching you since 2016 😊and I get so much from your content, you're awesome!

[@StayFabulouswithNisha]

Thank you so much xx

[@Sue-np9fp]

HI Nisha! You are my inspiration! I love your quirky sense of humour, but more especially, your interest and passion for make-up! Since I was tiny, I was fascinated by my mum's dressing table cosmetics (she didn't have many, because money was tight), but I remember her blue tin of Nivea face cream, some green hair gel(!), and a perfume atomiser, which I thought was the height of sophistication! I am an ad-man's dream, when it comes to skin-care/make-up/perfume/bath products etc; I lust after the Chanel's / YSL'S and Dior's, but admit, it's usually, E.L.F that I come home with - (a girl can dream)! For me, make up, is the best version of myself, that I can be...I would no more go out without make-up, than go out without brushing my teeth; it's part of that self-care ritual/pampering, whatever you call it. (of course my secret fantasy, is to be your 'cleaner', when you are having a re-set on your make-up drawer) Nisha-so that I could stash away all the 'goodies' you are throwing out! That, or get looked at at the Clinique counter for the night.... Do you think I need help?!! 😊love sue xxx 🌟

[@judyrobson7586]

Totally agree, I have worn eye makeup since the sixties when I was a teenager , and still after all these years , and more makeup, would never go across the doors without it ! Love your videos and obviously agree with everything you say on makeup. X

[@GladBurgio]

Hi all, I wear the basics if i have time when running errands. If not, i go barefaced. I've never been a makeup wearer. My mom either. I'm 64 now and like to wear a tinted sunscreen but i do have foundation in a shopping cart for the 1st time in my life! 😂 I love your makeup Nisha. I feel the opposite when i have "makeup" on. I'm not sure it looks good so I'm self-conscious. I also go through phases-- i wear it for awhile then don't. I never thought about me being unapproachable.... maybe there's something to that. 🤔 Hmmm

[@RedPill77777]

I agree with you 💯

[@Loved-15j]

Nisha, hello! I absolutely agree that makeup or not is a personal matter, like everything else in this world, whether I want to get married or not, if I've been there before, but I don't say never say never. Everything is changing. But without makeup or hair, I immediately become a grandmother, and I feel like my soul is even starting to shrink from my appearance. After all, cosmetics were ritual, magical since ancient times, fashion changed and makeup changed: from a pale, sickly complexion and eyes, to an expressive healthy appearance with a blush on her cheeks, with a bright look and delicate pink lips on her face- it was believed that a girl with a pale face would scare off the future groom with her sickly appearance and that people so and they will think that the girl is probably not healthy, and, of course, makeup changes the inner mood from "vinegar expressions ", as the Pope said recently, we need to get rid of and demonstrate to God and people the joy of being and this world, this does not mean that everyone should do makeup, but give joy to oneself and the world, and therefore to God. Thank you❤🌹🙏 Nisha❤❤❤❤❤xxxx

[@amywoodworth6224]

I agree with you. I work from home. I feel so much more together & productive when I at least put my skincare on & get dressed. I do sometimes just get up & start working in my pjs. That is fine from time to time but I eventually have to kick myself in the butt. If I do it too many times in a row. Lol I can leave the house with minimal makeup. However, a full face I feel much more confident! I LOVE that flower arrangement!

[@janicechambers9239]

Well said Nisha I agree with your every word .I'm 45 years married and I still love dressing elegant and wearing makeup for myself and looking better for my husband Thankyou my love❤️💋💐🥰☘️

[@Melissa-mz3qu]

I agree with you. Part of my makeup routine is the 20 minutes of the day that is truly dedicated to myself. I enjoy the process of makeup. My mom used to say "anyone can wear a $500.00 outfit but if they don't OWN it - it'll just look sloppy. She always said, you can take a 50.00 outfit, fix your hair, put a little color on the face, put on clean shoes and you will look like a MILLION bucks every time and also stand tall!

[@hafrowlands1587]

I won't go out without my make-up I don't feel confident enough! X

[@corie5986]

Coucou Nisha, Je suis absolument d'accord avec toi. Je me suis toujours maquillée depuis l'âge de 16 ans, car cela n'était pas interdit dans mon collège et lycée. Aujourd'hui j'ai 60 ans et je ne suis jamais sortie de chez moi sans fond de teint !! J'ai toujours aimé me maquiller bien que j'ai reçu beaucoup de réflexions et de critiques. Mais comme tu dis, je me sens plus forte, plus sûre de moi et prête à affronter les défis. Je te ressemble beaucoup car j'ai la même couleur de cheveux et les yeux bleus. J'ai le même style de maquillage que toi et je suis heureuse que tu aies fait cette vidéo qui me correspond totalement. Je t'embrasse, à bientôt 😘😘🌹🌹🌺🌺

I love my make-up...never will i been seen without it..❤

[@margaretgreen2826]

Absolutely loved this chat thank you Neisha I’m 77 and started wearing makeup at 14 yrs old , my Mum always put on powder rouge they called it back then and lipstick every morning after she had done her housework, then in afternoon she would shower and repeat before my father came home from work, so it taught me I think, I enjoy wearing makeup and will continue to do so until I can’t. 🌺💕

[@asou5334]

The only time I go out without makeup is when I have my yearly visit with the dermatologist (which coincidentally I had today). I felt like I looked my 69 years without makeup on. Makeup makes me feel good and I know it makes me look better. Plus, I love putting it on every day even if I have no where to go.

[@Liz-zb1sv]

I once told a daughter in law that I wear makeup to keep my husband out of jail !! If my husband saw me barefaced he might shoot me as an intruder!!! I don't even know myself without makeup. I sleep in it and clean up and reapply in the morning after coffee. I just feel myself when I look put together. Never use soap and water on my face just cold cream and toner and I have a pretty nice complexion for an 78 year old. I totally recommend no water. I use the works ,foundation ,shadow, liner, false lashes , etc. The only one I have to please is me now and the makeup routine happens every day wether I am home alone or not. Great conversation and take care,

[@DeborahBosley]

I totally agree with you Nisha, putting on makeup is part of my morning routine, and makes me feel good and more confident. I really like your curls, I have been adding curls to my hair recently also!

[@renespikes2517]

I always try to look my best...that includes makeup, hair done and wearing nice clothes when I'm out and about. It makes me cringe to see office attire nowadays. With that said, that is what makes me feel good and if someone else is happy with no makeup and hair not done, then by all means that is what they should do.

[@terrifromm5085]

I don't wear make up if I'm staying at home and relaxing or if I go for a walk. If I step out to go to a store, bank, or post office to get my mail, I will wear at least eye make up and lipstick. I wear full make up for work, going out, etc.I do find not wearing make up "freeing", however, I will never give up make up entirely. I am pale, blonde, blonde eye brows and lashes, and I have freckles at my tender age (61). I love make up. Funny, I do have friends who never wear make up because they don't care to and friends who are married, who don't feel make up is necessary. To each her own. Thank you for talking about this topic.

[@sheilaeskridge9393]

Amen sister! I’ve been playing with makeup since I was in grade school. I’m 61 now and still love my makeup! I do it for me as I feel better when I’m put together. I don’t do it if I’m just bumming around the house, but most days I get out so that means I’m putting my face on! I even wear makeup to the gym. Nothing heavy, but I do wear all the things. Great chat!

[@StayFabulouswithNisha]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@chelleo5487]

Totally agree. I will not go out the front door without it

[@annedoucette7331]

I agree with you! I never leave the house without makeup. Great discussion!

[@conniemurphyover70stillgla47]

WE do it because we look better thats it! Funny lots of the women who are saying "no make is good ",still color their hair ,get boob jobs, facelifts and gain weight. ITS only a choice

[@Fiore-oh9bz]

So true! Pamela Anderson is being touted as revolutionary for going makeup free but she still dyes her hair, which is like makeup for your hair. I wear makeup because I look bloomin' awful without it. Each to their own, but the makeup free brigade seem to be as bossy as the going grey brigade.

[@mystabench]

Hi Nisha, I totally agree with you. I feel so much better about myself with makeup. I do it for myself I enjoy doing it and my husband really loves that I take care of myself. I agree 💯 do what makes you feel good. 💜💜💜

[@StayFabulouswithNisha]

Love that!

[@Mexicobeanpole]

If I leave the house without makeup, I can be confident I will run into 4 people I know. One being an old high school boyfriend. I wear makeup everywhere. Wear none at home.

[@Debbie-kt6ck]

😂😂yes agree that always happens

[@gillmather1269]

Hi Nisha I totally agree with what you say, I feel so much better when I wear makeup, I don’t wear much but it just gives me more confidence and I also agree about making an effort for my husband we’ve been married 36 years x 😊

[@sassydoe9407]

I think there's an art to applying makeup and through self discovery I felt it enhanced my features as a young person and it was relaxing which grew into the habit of wanting to look put together which was always an interest. I don't focus on the insecurity of being seen without it, yet it's rare I would go out completely bare faced. I just really enjoy it, but go naked quite a bit @ home lol. I think it's the luxury of being the woman that I was born and I'm attracted to it. Basic skincare routine from drugstore skincare products and even something like Aveeno face wash got rid of a few dark spots or freckling so I would assume the same with yours. At Christmas I purchased an Estee Lauder skincare bundle with an additional 9 piece gift set, as I used the oil from a sample before and liked it. I have a few products from the Ordinary I still need to try and I scored @ TJ Max earlier and found some deals so I'm stocked up on skincare and makeup for awhile. I do love foundation like you and feel it evens out decent skin and makes me feel fresh 😊

This was great. ❤ As for me I have never ever been out of my house without at least what I call half face. I feel I look down right ugly and raggedy without makeup. I don't put makeup on on the weekends if we aren't going anywhere. I get tired of fooling with after spending 45 min every morning for work just on my face. Oh and I'm 59.

I have loved wearing makeup and been interested in it since I was a young girl. I’ve enjoyed applying it and experimenting with different techniques for many years. It makes me feel confident and pretty when I have makeup on although my world doesn’t end if for some reason I have to leave the house without it. I try to look my best for myself as well as my husband. I know now that we’re in our 70’s that’s not always possible sometimes due to medical issues but I still try to “fluff up” a bit if I can. It’s a signal to the world that I value and respect myself enough to put a good face forward. We all have different ways of doing that and if makeup isn’t your thing, no problem, do you. I bet though that women who don’t wear makeup have other ways of making themselves feel beautiful. Isn’t it wonderful how unique we all are!

Hi. Nisha. Lovely video. Nice chatty informative. And nice to see you relaxed xx❤🎉 Oh loving the vase in the corner 🎉.x

[@pebbles377]

100 %!!! I feel very insecure without makeup. I don’t wear a lot. I am very fair and have gotten so used to how just a little makeup brings out my features. I feel that I look sick without it, since you cant see my lashes and brows since they are so light. But I think it’s definitely only due to the pressure of society. If i never started wearing makeup I might feel different. I don’t go outside without it, sadly.

[@sambailey-q3y]

I total agree I’m 76 and from the time I was 16 I have worn makeup even when I had my 3 children I would get up early enough to get myself ready to look good for me. My husband and my children I never go anywhere without my makeup on and hair done. Loved your topic today. I still look good in his eyes ❤️❤️ P.S my Husband and I have been together for 57 years. So apparently it wo

[@juliesummerill3424]

Nisha you always make me smile ❤

Nisha, I grew up similar to you. Blue eyed blonde with fair skin and some freckles. I was not allowed to wear makeup in school (convent school Ireland). It was forbidden. I did sneak a little mascara and I was good. The 80’s changed everything. Bright flashy colors and permed hair or spiked hair were the in thing. I was influenced when I went to Spain, everyone was a bronze goddess and I was Northern European and had no melanoma so I would burn. It was torture. I envied all of those girls and prayed my vacation would end quickly so I could be with my own people . I got into fashion and makeup at 22yrs. I felt bare without makeup. Roll on 30 years and I have a beautiful family-boys. They say I look better without makeup…omg what gives. I really don’t wear a lot of makeup anymore . I live in southern California now and most people are NOT what you see in the Van Halen videos. There are the exceptions but most of us work and are not bronzed per se and don’t spend our free time at the beach. I live in a coastal low key community so dressing up seems out of place. I do were minimal makeup to work but could care less what other people think anymore. Gosh if only I had this wisdom when I was 20. It’s true, the older you become, the wiser you become. Thanks again for the chat. Stay fab too.

[@joannaandblueskies9435]

I love wearing makeup, I love makeup in general , feeling beautiful and beautiful things , its our Venus as woman to want to feel beautiful, and beauty is up to everyone’s perspective but for me , its a part of my daily routine as a part of my beauty and skincare routine, why make all the effort for everything else and not myself! Im 54 years young ,this is a great conversation ❤

[@shazhart7533]

I agree with your views Nisha. I’m 72 and wear makeup every day, not for anyone else, just because I feel a bit more ‘polished’ and I want to look what I consider is my best. I think people take you more seriously if you’ve taken time to present yourself well - tidy person, tidy mind, tidy job 😅! Thanks for your videos Nisha. 😘😘

[@loricameron4230]

I have always worn makeup but as I am getting older the most important thing is my hair and then makeup. I make sure my hair looks good (even if unwashed). I have cut down on the amount of makeup but will never go out without under eye concealer (due to dark circles),blush/highlighter and lipstick. I have always had good skin with no discolouration so foundation isn’t needed. This is my usual routine if going shopping but any other time I will apply eye shadow, liner and mascara.

[@RitaSagri]

this video about no makeup no confidence was great to see. I am retired so dont wear much makeup anymore as mostly at home but I do wear concealer around my eyes due to heavy dark circles and some blush for my cheeks but more when going out actually dont wear foundation anymore only to special occassion due to skincare I zone in more there so my skin is hydrated and plump. I used to go to my dermatslogist due to psoriasis issues and advised back in the 90's look after you skin wear spf clean moistures and do microdermabrasion on my skin so now 57 years young dont have much wrinkles due to my Doctor back then. As he saw horrific skin conditions in using the incorrect skincare reactions to certain patiences. This is a personal view and everybody is different on how they perceive themselfs. But got me into wearing more makeup when you first came out in youtube years ago. Thanks for your informative video. You do you your way. Happy Days.🤩❤💄

[@lindah.453]

Great conversation! I just love to put makeup on. Even days I don't go out I apply it. Perfume and earrings are also a daily must!!

[@cheried9390]

Agree 100% with you. I wear makeup because I want to look my best, it makes me feel better. 😊

[@sherrybell5599]

I definitely feel better when I wear makeup and my wigs but I don't wear it around the house. I have hot flashes and sweat really bad while I'm cleaning but if I didn't have that issue I would definitely love to wear it everyday. I'm retired now but when I was working, I wore it everyday. I wear makeup everytime I go out somewhere and I look forward to dressing up.. Your are beautiful Nisha and I love the way you do your makeup. I've actually improved my makeup routine by watching your GRWM videos.❤❤

[@emilym8943]

I completely agree with you as far as looking nice for yourself and your husband. He didn't meet you while looking like a bum.

[@galatea19]

I wear sun screen, tinted every day to take care of my skin. most days some eyeshadow , liner and mascara.....because I like it and enjoy it. But sometimes I don't have time to do that , and to be honest I don't feel insecure....I feel less pretty, for sure but at my age I really don't care what people think.... i need to be ok with my face without a lot of makeup, even though I love wearing it

[@stuartpierce121]

Boy that's me very pale and freckles. I love to wear makeup. I think we should care about how we look for our man too. Thanks Nisha Jennifer 😊😊😊😊

[@carolrome3000]

For sure a different feeling without makeup! Great topic. Have u done a tutorial for your curly hair? Would love that!❤

[@kiminkc7058]

I totally feel the same as you, Nisha, regarding makeup. Thank you for this video!

[@mawmawkaren2801]

Hi Nisha!!! I don't always wear make up, but I do agree that I feel much better if I do. Since I've retired, I've gotten lazy about it, and I'm not as skilled as you are--but I would like to at least go to a basic make up look when I leave the house. Interesting topic. I love it!

[@misstammy5043]

At 51 i have been having the hardest time matching my skin tone for foundation. I suffer from sun damage on my face. So now i have the lovely light areas , dark areas and all in between lol.

[@dalecotz2720]

I agree with you.

[@StitchesbySharonH]

My grandmother always said to put lipstick on before you leave the house! 😁

[@ritastutler1470]

Hi Nisha The morning after a really hard back surgery I put my make up on. I like make up. It’s just a part of my routine and really cannot imagine not wearing it. I guess I would feel pretty terrible running into someone in the store and they are thinking she looks sick. I hope I always like putting on make up. This was great.❤❤❤

[@Clovelaurel]

I’m 58 and rarely makeup. We could wear makeup to school at any age. I never wore makeup until I was 17. I like to dress up and go out, but at home or for day to day I never put any on. No complaints from my husband yet lol

[@akibabe09]

I love makeup 😊. It all started in 1984!. I was nosey about my mum's eyeshadow set from M&S. Oranges,golds and blue hues. And 2 post of glitter eyeshadow 🌸🌸. And now at 46 i wear it but mostly eyeshadow and mascara 😊😊😊❤

[@carolynhamilton3316]

I love makeup! I’m 80 now, so it for me, requires a little more toned down. Blush doesn’t look as good on me if I use too much., Because of 80 year old skin. Eyeliner only goes under the lid, because on top of lid looks too harsh now. I love skin care and makeup. Just because women become seniors, does not mean no makeup now. I love trying new mascara, new shades of lipstick. It’s a joy for me! Soft eye shadow Now, looks the best. Not dark. All in all, do what you like, but if you love makeup, don’t let getting older stop you.

[@papilloncreations]

Great vid Nisha love the casual sofa chat and I 💯 agree, we’re the same age so for me it started at 14 my parents were really relaxed about me expressing myself with makeup and hair and I wear it because I love the routine, the way it makes me feel I wear it even if no-one is going to see me it’s totally for me it’s creative and I can never imagine me changing 😄 💋

[@cherylmartin1740]

Funny I was just thinking of this since I just turned 60. I work from home so rarely wear makeup anymore. I go to the gym daily but do not want to wear make-up there. So I only wear it now for special occasions, and it's very minimal of what I wear. Mostly mascara, a lip gloss, and maybe some blush. I don't wear foundation just a pump of the Cover Girl Essence which feels more like a serum with tint.

[@leestern3137]

Yes, I must have hair and makeup done before going anywhere….I feel like an unmade bed without it 😂

[@MercedesB-mc6uf]

So well said Nisha! I feel exactly the same way you do... and I wish women would stop being so judgmental... I feel like it's just so immature! We should all just be happy and continue to be our "best self "!! Have a great week. 😘

❤ makeup & definitely feel better when enhancing my features😊 makes me feel put 2gether.
