I have been meaning to tell you this for a while. I Adore you. I adore your Christianity, I adore that you Share it, the way we are called to, and I appreciate SO very much all the wonderful knowledge you share in the way that you do. I have to say Thank you! One last thing I have to say is THANK YOU for is keeping your Fall decor in place and not jumping to Christmas. Proof You know the reason for the season. God bless you each and every day Zabrena. Great video as usual! :)
Good comment! Hallowgivingmas is awful😂
Amen
Aw, what a beautiful, heartfelt comment! Thank you for speaking words of life over me! I am truly blessed and humbled by your sentiment and appreciate you taking the time to encourage! HUGS! God bless you gorgeous!
The reason for the season varies from person to person. It’s OK to put up the decor you like when you like.
To add to the beautiful Maxine's comment....the way you approach your Christian faith, Zabrena, inspires me. You embrace everyone in the makeup space. Everyone. You've never said a disparaging word about people in the LGBTQ+ community, AND! AND! I *love* that you allow your son to play in your makeup without judgy undertones. I wish more Christians approached their faith as you do....I might still be a Christian. I grew up attending church and was a church musician for awhile...seeing your videos makes me miss the better parts of Christian life. Love and blessings to you and all the other viewers out there 🖖❤️
I learned a few tricks in beauty school that can save some money. If you love your normal foundation but want less coverage; mix it with some of your facial moisturizer to create your own tinted moisturizer. Depending on how you mix it, you can run full coverage into medium coverage to a tinted moisturizer. This way you can choose your coverage day to day.
Thank you!
I love this tip. Thank you!
Love this thanks
Don't wear makeup to the doctor or hospital. Medical people can spot things by looking at your general appearance. This applies to labor and delivery too ladies, sorry.
This is GREAT advice, thank you! Never would have thought of this! 🤔
Including nail varnish as they can see oxygenation by looking at nails, health condition etc.
Yes!!! I've been hospitalized a few times in Mexico and thats the first thing they make you do, take off your makeup and nail polish..
Wish I could do that. Instead I hide my deathly appearance with the false glow of health. 😂
As a chronically ill person, I can confirm that this is excellent advice. For example, when I'm anemic, my lips completely disappear, and lipstick (though very badly needed) would hide the fact that I ought to have a blood test. So don't doll it up for your yearly physicals! You might be hiding low key liver problems or a thyroid issue and not even know it.
Hi Zabera, I love that leopard print top. It looks gorgeous.
Great tips - thank you ❤ (I am also a 90s child and pressed powder still has a place in my heart 😂)
I have black hair and I’m almost 53! Instead of growing out, I’ve purchased 5 wigs, all in different colors and I am about to shave my head! I’m totally frightened of everything right down to what color eyebrows to have when wearing a blonde or silver color wig….I guess my true makeup adventures are really about to begin! BTW you look absolutely stunning today and thank you for all the tips! ❤️ from Australia
Hello Zabrena, as a 45 year old woman who has been obsessed with makeup since the age of 9, I 100% agree with ALL of these points! It’s hard sometimes for people to make these changes as we are used to wearing makeup a certain way but the overall theme here is enhancing your natural beauty!
Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy😊. I have been earning $ 60,200 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days.
I got 80% of my total portfolio in CRYPTO and it has been great Returns
Agree, I found that as I age gracefully, less is more. Some things are more important for me at almost 60 with dry ski n. Essence, serums, moisturizer then my tinted spf. Sometimes cream shadow sticks (love Julep!) are just what I like for a little Xtra oomph!
Im in my 50s,and those dark reds/berry lipsticks I loved so much not only age me, but take any color out of my face :( I also learned that the corners of our mouth start to turn down, so when applying lip products avoid the very corners of our mouth.
Your cheetah/leopard print top is lovely with your hair.
I remember years ago seeing one of Wayne Goss' videos and he discussed how blush placement can add years. He said that applying blush to the apple of the cheeks drags down the face. Apply blush along the cheekbone and blend upward.
I feel like everyone knows this by now, but just overdarkening yourself with makeup does age you. I mean too dark of a foundation, or too much bronzer - juat trying to mimick a tan with makeup(or self tanner) and overdoing it. Especially if it pulls orange.
Also clumpy lashes, idk why, I always associate this with those old ladies with garish makeup so anyone with really clumpy lashes looks older to me
My routines have changed a lot over my 51 years. A lot of these are so true. The first one I can point to: eyebrows. You are 110% correct. Dark brows age you. I switched to a shade that was 2 shades lighter and it instantly softened my look. Blush is another. I used to forgo it in my 20’s but not now. I contour lightly, blush in the apples and then highlight. Ties the face together. My other fix: thick dark eyeliner. I softened and thinned the upper lash line and quit using it on my waterline and lower. It made me look way younger.
One thing that I've come to realize at 41 years old is that stark, defined lines do not look good me anymore. I love Rimmel glosses and tinted balms for lips. My makeup routine changed a lot over the last couple years and coincidentally, I adopted a lot of the tips you mention. I wear less makeup now than I did in my 20s and I feel that it looks so much better. I don't line the lower lash line or put mascara, just the top lashes. Lately I use eyeshadow to line my top lash and I'm loving that look. Also, lots of CZcamsrs seem to be obcessed with too much blush. Blush is supposed to brighten your face naturally. Too much will age you, no matter how much some of these girls say otherwise.
I'm glad you enjoy lip glosses, I've always wanted to enjoy them, I love the look but they drive me crazy because my long hair always seems to blow into them and sticks. Drives me nuts!! So it's a no-go.
I also skip liner and mascara on my bottom lashes. It just looks awful on me. I'll try it now and again just because it seems like EVERYONE does it...but...nope, it's not ever going to work on my eyes 😁
@@SirenaSpades it really does depend on the formula. I love Rimmel glosses because it's a very thin, not sticky at all formula. And they give the most beautiful look. Unfortunately something is going on with the brand because Walmart is discontinuing it.
Great tips! I have oily skin and I powder my whole face because I find that my powder blushes and powdered bronzers just blend more naturally that way and don't stick patchy to the foundation. The key is to shave the peach fuzz first of all and secondly get a setting powder that's a good shade match to the foundation. Afterward use a great setting spray to emulsify everything and it will dry down and not look too mattified or dusty. I know these are extra steps but they do make a huge difference and make up looking professional and like natural skin
You are legit the only beauty youtuber I will watch. I am still a noob at makeup (my teen years consisted of Billie-Joe-Armstrong-eye-makeup-looks and that was it lol so I still have so much to learn!) and whenever I need to go shopping for makeup I always go and double check your recommendations. Thank you for making your videos and God bless you :) ❤❤
Omg your top is everything!!!
I was excited to see you using the Wet n Wild tinted hydrator. My hack is to mix in a drop of the NYX Bare With Me concealer with this product to get the fair shade light enough. This extra coverage makes such a lovely look, and I don't need to use concealer. I have also switched to brown eyeliner (I use eyeshadow most of the time) and mascara.... with just a hint of color under the eye. Lately, I have just been applying blush that has a slight shimmer and no bronzer. it just looks so fresh on my mature skin! (at 60!)
Omg u just described my everyday makeup!!! Yes, face looks just fresh ♥️ (I'm 30)
@@pcuell00 I bet you look gorgeous!! My other foundation products are gathering dust since I discovered the tinted hydrator!!❤
Thanks for the tip about mixing the NYX bare with me concealer with the wet n wild tinted hydrator. I’m so fair and I want that tinted hydrator to work so badly but it’s just not light enough. And I DO have the NYX concealer! I’m def trying it! Thanks again 😊 Happy Holidays! 🎄 ⛄️ ❄️ 🎁
@@aleigha9141 I hope it works for you!!❤
For me, dark eyeshadow ages me. I stopped for the most part. My eyes are small, so adding darker colors makes them look smaller. So I always use lighter brighter colors for my eyes. Unless I want a darker Smokey or Grundge look. But 8 out of ten times I keep it light.
It's interesting. I turn 40 next month and I seem to care less and less with each passing day about what's flattering. I seem to be embracing my inner teenager. I was a bit goth and a lover of fairies back in the day and now I have big girl money and lots of glittery makeup and I'm in love with all of it. I appreciate the video but let's please not lose that spark of magic in our hearts just to chase the eternal fountain of youth. We're all aging and it's a beautiful thing. 😍
The lighter eyebrow color is a game changer! 👏 Another one to be careful of is medium-dark lip shades. Some ladies can really rock a deep red or plum and still look youthful, but on me, darker lipsticks are very aging.
Off topic but I love your top
You are such a love. I so enjoy watching your videos. Your tutorials have helped me. Thank you. Plus your tips come in really handy. I'm now 60 years old and had been shying away from makeup. I'm now back to being adventurous. I've gotten several compliments. It feels good. I sure don't feel 60, but the again I've never been 60 before so I'm not sure how it's supposed to feel. LOL 🤣🤣
I'm right there with you Debbie. I just turned 59 and went thru some heart surgery complications recently. Had been going out of the house "without my face on" which I had never done before. And I've been wearing makeup since I was 13. For the past few months I've been watching tutorials for women over 55. Even though Zabrena is not a mature woman she addresses our mature issues beautifully. And I just love how Zabrena talks about things that e all deal with and gives a solution
Man, you are right! Take off that makeup at night!!! But you have 3 kids, I get it!!!
I'm guilty of applying A TON of foundation. I'm 68 and my skin is so uneven!! But I'll try the concealer tip! I do a lot f ostage work so we slap on the foundation, LOL!!!
You are absolutely right, Zabrean --- What makes most women over say 40 to 50 (sorry to say) look older and more haggard is lining under the eyes. It closes the eyes, as you said. I never thought of a nude undereye color. Far out.
Neverthought about people in paintings wearing blush. But then I'm colorblind, LOL!!!
Zabrena , I was an old subscriber back in the beginning. Switched accounts overtime and just found you again. You look amazing just like you haven’t aged over 8 years! Love your videos and chill personality. I’m glad I found my way back home ❤
Ahhhh! Welcome back to you! So wonderful to see you! HUGS!
Keep a packet of makeup remover wipes in your nightstand because you'll always have time to wipe a bit before you pass out. I find setting my concealer ages me. I remove excess concealer directly below my lower lashes with the tip of a makeup sponge. Works like a charm. Thanks for the tips! And your blouse is beautiful!
I switched over a year ago to brown eyeliner and it softened my looks a lot. I only do on the top though.
Me too, and I also switched to brown mascara.
I love your sweater. Where did you buy it?
I'm certainly guilty of using too much powder. Not so much now though, but I tend to get very oily in the t-zone, so I need to powder that part of my face. Still, sometimes I find it's a bit hard to find the right balance. Also, I used to wear too heavy foundation. The last couple of years I mostly use the Purito BB cream, and it makes my skin looks so good and natural, never too made up.
I also used to go to bed sometimes with makeup when my children were little. Now I am very strict when it comes to my skin care routine, so I always double cleanse, and put on actives and moisturizer before bed. It's easier when you get to have a little more "me-time".
Thanks for all the great tips. ❤️
I agree about the heavy foundation. When I first got serious about makeup 4 years ago, at age 49, I wanted to cover everything. Then, I decided to try the L'Oreal Serum foundation last year. That made a world of difference. I looked so much younger.
I am guilty of dark bold brows, I just love them. I will however give a lighter shade of brown a try as hard as it will be for me and see if I notice a more youthful appearance. Loved the tips, thank you🥰
Use your kids' wipes in an emergency "too tired to even breathe" situation. Ya it's not a perfect solution, but they are huge and kinda moisturizing and BETTER THAN SLEEPING IN MAKEUP. 3 kids under 5? We're lucky you post videos at all LOLOLOL!
Not cleaning your brushes regularly and your sponges or not replacing them sooner! Bacteria just aides in more breakouts, eye infections. Also, throwing out older expired makeup! Just asking for skin issues.
Happy Holiday Z! I ❤️ your shows. Wish you could do more? But, family comes first!
Do you have a brush cleaner that you recommend? Thank u! 😊
I use to make these mistakes until i discovered Wayne Goss on youtube and then my whole makeup game changed! I never listen to any beauty guru's on youtube when it comes to applying makeup but i will watch their videos when it comes to hauls,makeup collections,etc.I try to go as natural as i can when it comes to applying makeup,afterall; we do not need to improve what God has already created.It's as of we are applying to GOD he did a bad job at creating us &that we have to correct his mistakes on our face which he makes no mistakes at all.A natural flawless look is what ialways try to go with on a daily routine.God Bless you for sharing your tips &keep sharing JESUS Zabrena because this world needs it.Your a gem my dear!❤❤❤
As a person in my mid 30s, I've grown extremely fond of luminous powders for setting. Matte is just awful on my skin, makes me look decrepit.
I feel you so much. My skin is so dry
Which powders do you use?
@@nadiataylor2566 the elf soft luminous HD powder has been my go to for a while now. It seems a lot of stores are replacing it with the halo glow setting powder though which sounds the same but is absolutely awful (on my skin, naturally results will vary!).
Open to suggestions, too!
I agree, I can't do matte powders well any more! Turned 40 a few months ago, and I just found Cover Girl Advanced Radiance powder - it has the best luminous finish, yet not glittery or sparkly! I really love it! And I love you too Zabrena ❤️
Please skip putting the luminous powder on the tip of your nose. It is such a bizarre look to highlight the nose tip, unless you want to look like Pinocchio.
I don't used eye shadow primer because I kinda like the faded worn in look of eyeshadow after a couple of hours 🤷🏻♀️ and also my eyelids are not oily anymore so I feel like I really don't have a problem with my eyeshadow staying put when I apply a more intense eye look.
Wearing makeup to bed destroys your skin over time, it is sooo bad! We have all done it generally because of sheer exhaustion, but it is the worst. Forget all those serums they are useless if you sleep in your makeup regularly. I remember years ago someone saying, the skin you have up to your thirties is the skin you were born with, the skin you have after your thirties is the skin you deserve. Either sun, dehydration, etc, it all builds up over time. Take care of that face it is gorgeous ladies ❤️❤️❤️
I'm like a year younger than you, on my 6th pregnancy with a 1 yr old who doesn't sleep, and I'm feeling my age 😩 I never really wore makeup but these circles under my eyes need help! I swear by liquid and cream products, for example the Pixi liquid blush in the little squeeze tube brings life and dewiness in the most beautiful, natural way. And I started using the L'Oreal balm foundation (tinted balm I think it's called?) and it's just SO NATURAL LOOKING! Definitely a your-skin-but-better product that brightens all day. And let's not forget skin care - it's the MOST important part of the process. Vitamin C and Vichy's mineral 89 are my life! I think trying to stay as natural as possible is so important to not age ourselves more than necessary. Thank you Z for your awesome videos 🤗
I always love the way you match your foundation to your beautiful complexion! I'm as pale and also a redhead, but it seems that even when I think I've matched, my base always looks orange y! Thank you for the great tips!! 💖❤️
I love your sweater. You look
incredible. Happy Holidays lady.
Heavy coverage concealers! They emphasize my fine lines! I used the mini tarte shape tape (the new one that more moisturizing) Nope! Was a no go for me! Lol
Love this eye shadow color on you!
Great disclaimer at the start - make up is fun at the end of the day and if it makes you feel good then it doesn’t really matter. Everyone is so different and has different tastes but times change and so do techniques and it’s good to start current and pick up new tips from every decade I think.
Absolutely! I do makeup because I enjoy it and it’s something I take the time to do for me. I’m always open to tips and advice but makeup is personal preference.
@@ghislenelegere4000 I’m totally guilty of having darker brows and thick eyeliner because that’s what I like and what I thinks suits me! There’s no “rules” it’s great to play around and find what works for YOU.
I just can’t fall asleep with my makeup, if I do, I will wake up at 1,2 in the morning and have to wash my face, lol. I think really dark liner in the waterline and lower lash line can look very harsh. These are great tips💜
My tip is not putting eyeshadow or mascara on my lower eye lid. You've mentioned it, too, on the channel, it does open the eye up and definitely takes a few years off. The only exception would be a night out look.
I stopped doing this a good while back and I too feel that it makes me look more youthful. I used to apply mascara on the lower lid throughout my 20s and it just doesn't look good anymore.
Totally agree about eyebrows. And drawing them in too thick looks bad too. Can't wear lipstick anymore. Now I just wear tinted lip oil.
I understand exhaustion with my 6 kids 8-16. I never go to sleep with my make up because my skin is so sensitive. When my skin gets out if control isn't a nightmare to straighten out. I'm 53 and can still breakout like a teen.
I'll try the powder in the areas you said. I like a full coverage foundation due to having an uneven skin tone. I watch closely to keep it from going into the smile lines and forehead creases.
Just love everything you post. I so look forward to each new one. I am particularly interested in your dupes. You really do a great job of researching and getting them right. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication.
Great video! You are absolutely gorgeous- inside and out! And..: OMG- where did you get that leopard top? I want it. 😁
I have things to say: amount of foundation depends upon how clear your skin is, when you have large areas of dispigmentation spot concealing won't work. I'll always go back to wearing black kajal under the eyes don't care how many times white people tell me it looks bad, black liner makes the eye prominent, brown people don't have colored eyes so we need other measures to draw attention to the eyes. I have very dark eye brows, they thin but without gaps, if i use a pencil even slightly lighter its looks so obvious that i have makeup on them. Makeup is so subjective and ageing is a privilege, about time we embrace age and change the tide
Yes, I had to ditch the pressed powder it made my skin so dry looking and cakey ugh
I also started using a beauty blender (yes... never used before lol) I use less makeup and my skin looks so much better 😌
Your videos are fun! Thank you 😊
Thank you Zabrena❤
Back in the '80's I always used to pack on face powder as a finishing step. I loved that flat, smooth look. I'd go through at least one container of face powder every year. Those days are long gone! ...Try leaving a package of makeup cleansing cloths on your nightstand. If they're right there it's easier to remember to reach for them before dozing off.
I'm 52 and my biggest trick has been to line my lower waterline with silver waterproof eyeliner. Sparkly and awake!
Wow! That sounds amazing. Can you recommend one? Nothing seems to last in my waterline.
FENTY BEAUTY HAS SOME BEAUTIFUL LIGHT WATERPROOF EYELINERS.. ✨️
@@AnnathePiana I use Maybelline Tattoo Studio - waterproof in Sparkling Silver. It lasts on my watery eyes all day (and overnight if I forget to wash my face) Lol!
@@lisamurcer5950 Good to know! Thank you!
@@lisamurcer5950 Thanks for the info!
Hi Zabrena . I'm in 50's, I always enjoyed all of your videos. Today , I want to thank you for taking your time and sharing this video with all of us. Be blessed always
not wearing the right color of foundation with the right undertone. You will just look like you are very tired and old. Understanding your undertone will be a game changer! This would be a good subject to discuss!
OMG, I'm guilty of a FULL cover matte and powder face! I'm 47 and recently I got rid of my heavy foundations and went shopping for 2 different medium/light coverage foundations meant for dry skin. I haven't worn concealer under my eyes for years, but have just started by using it ONLY to brighten the under eyes. Just with these few changes I already look 15 years younger! Oh I also lightly powder my T-zone with a mineral powder. I also don't use heavy eye shadow/liner under my eyes. I have extremely hooded eyes & have been using primers/dry concealers for years as a base for my shadows. I use only mascara and sometimes a highlighting liner. I also put my blush in an upwards angle and only bring a tint of colour forward. If I use a matte blush I put a topper over it. I still have very full lips & only use coordinating liners for special occasions. One thing that's REALLY helped is getting rid of ALL my liquid & matte lipsticks. I now only use crème, pearl, and balmy lipsticks. Oh and LOTS of lightweight glosses! As for sleeping with makeup... if it's been a looong day, I at least use a baby wipe to get most off. Then I immediately do a thorough cleanse in the morning & change my pillowcase. When I do have my nighttime routine I use 1 type of make up remover, then a 2nd type to pull even more off. Once I clean my face I use witchhazel and then a retinol cream. I make sure to apply the cream on my face, neck, chest and hands.
I have done every single one of these and I’ve also applied a lot of these older techniques on clients throughout my years as a MUA. Oh how things have changed! Thanks for sharing this information, it truly is helpful.💗😊
I hate black eyeliner and powder. Looooove blush! I am good! I have found less makeup does look more youthful as I get older. I also don’t put anything on the lower lash line. I find it looks more youthful.
I swear by Laura Geller Balance N Brighten foundation it gives me perfect coverage every time on my out the door days.
Hi Zabrena- One thing that Ive noticed that ages women is not changing the formulas/colors and the application when we get older. I think a lot of women do their makeup the way they learned as a young person and at a time in their lives when they were the happiest. Less is more. Love from NYC, Merry Christmas to you and the whole family xog
Don't forget moisturizer and SPF! I have to wear mascara, otherwise, I look like I'm sick. And yes, I've been guilty of sleeping without washing my face. Some days are just, well, you know.
When people wear makeup styles from previous decades... really aging. Also, as you mentioned, too much is not enhancing. Lovely to see you again this week!
I think that so many people on CZcams wear too much bronzer! I almost think that blush is enough.
Don’t feel bad I sleep in my makeup as well.
Love your channel...❤️
Loving your look today, your choice of eyeshadow really makes your eyes pop! X
I tend to only powder my jaw line because I rest my chin on my hand at my desk a lot. I switched to dewy setting spray to set the rest. It's made a difference on my normal/dry skin.
You look so incredibly beautiful today!! You’re beautiful everyday but today is just different!! Much love ❤
Aw thank you so much beautiful! :)
I'm a blonde turning silver and don't know where to get the right color from! 🤔. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, and I accidentally slept in my eye makeup last night. Bad girl, but hey, it happens. Please take care and keep these awesome videos coming! 🙏🙏
This was SUCH a fun video to watch! I'm guilty of having slept with makeup on because I'm tired and I don't even HAVE kids! LOL!! But I find that a quick swipe of a Neutrogena makeup remover wipe helps tremendously when I just can't do the actual washing of my face with a facial oil. But, I'm getting better! Thanks so much for this video! Truly helpful!!
I often skip blush because in need foundation to cover redness and it seems silly to then add pink back in. I think blush is pretty but like I said….. I will choose bronzer though
I stoped useing eyeliner all together but on my upper lash line. And stoped foundation because my skins so dry. But I add a cream blush on top of my moisturizer. Seems to help make my skin shine. I sleep in my mascara cuz it’s hard to take off and I run out of energy to finish lol.
Sleeping on your side or Stomach ages us. I used to sleep on Mt side and I had lines on my beck and chest and face. I was assisting gravity lol. I try to only sleep on my back over the past 5 years and there is a notable difference in the fine lines. Have a happy Friday Zabrena!!
Can’t think of one, but the tips are good.
I use black eyeliner all the time it makes my eyes look bigger and darker, love it
It actually makes eyes look smaller with all that black liner 🤮 Racoon eyes hides the beauty of the eyes rather than accentuating them
Black creates contrast and can help shape the eye. I think what makes it or breaks it is how harsh the lining is and whether you encircle the entire eye. I’m also not sure what the “big eye” obsession is all about. Some people of course have small eyes, but if you proportional eye size for your facial features you shouldn’t be scared of some black imo.
The illusion of big eyes has always been coveted as an attractive beauty asset.
I agree with everything you’ve said in this video. One more thing- imo dark lipsticks on older women ages you. Lighter colors are much more flattering and youthful appearing
Thank you for another great video. Love your channel. Btw beautiful eye look. My harmony and shadow kiss palettes will arrive today. Can’t wait to try them.
You are beautiful, inside and out❤
I love you leopard sweater! Where dud you find it?
Ive started mixed my foundation with moisturizers and glow products. Makes the foundation glide over my aging skin and not look heavy while still giving adequate coverage.
As to dark brows, what can you do if your brows are still very dark while your hair is snow white? I’ve tried lighter browns, but many tend to be too red or fairly tan. Brows look very strange with them.
BEAUTIFUL sweater! Love the tips!😘
Sleeping with makeup on…I’m super guilty of this. I am trying to break the habit and now at 45, I notice my skin is super dry if I do so I am working on breaking this!!
Try getting a really delicious feeling nighttime routine - a rich cleansing balm, a second wash, a nourishing essence and maybe a vitamin c or really moisturizing serum (vichy's mineral 89 hyaluronic serum feels SO GOOD) and then see what your skin looks like when you wake up - the glowing skin will make you hooked on pampering your skin before bed, and you'll never skip it!
Hi Zabrena whilst I am still that rock chick biker at 50, my makeup has become a lot softer as I have aged. I was the queen of a smokey eye lol, but lighter/softer shades look a lot better on my now hooded eyes. I also stopped wearing too nude of a lip shade and something similar to my own lip colour (or just a bit darker/rosier) is much more flattering. I'm still the whitest shade of pale skin (with grey eyes and blonde hair), so blush is a must have - otherwise I look very goth (fine to do the goth thing as a teen, but oh dear not nowadays). The other thing is to pay attention to your undertone - I'm extremely cool toned and anything very warm toned can make me look a bit ill/sickly. It seems to make my skin look dull and just looks off on me. Whereas taupe and soft greys look very neutral on me, so called "neutrals" (which are really warmer beiges, tans, browns etc) don't look as good. Don't be frightened of colour, but perhaps a more subtle pop of colourful eyeliner can be more flattering than a very brightly coloured eyeshadow look for during the day on paler skin. Deeper shades of skin look amazing in bright colours day or night however. Just a few of my tips on transitioning into my older skin. Best wishes.
I agree! I recently had a color analysis done and it was life changing. I am also cool toned so pink blush and berry lips pop on my skin tone.
I love black lined eyes - on upper and lower lids- despite my age (70). During day I wear brown, taupe, plum - but my heart sings with black. I have my own method of foundation application - the wetter the better. Same goes for powder…dip your brush in powder and spritz very lightly then press into skin. Follow that up with more water (I use Avéne water-huge and cheap delicious spray!) blush - I apply same way if it’s powder! Don’t overthink it- it’s just makeup 💄 😅🎉
Mid 50’s and still love me some black liner. Not liquid very often but pencil. Agree with the wetter technique. I give my foundation brush a couple spritzes before blending.
Eye liner that ends or even dips down at the end of the upper lid makes eyes look smaller and droopy. Always add a wing, even a tiny flick up. If over 40-ish, avoid black liner as it looks harsh. Use brown/black, charcoal, or brown. Same with mascara.
So many great tips! And good analogy about the black dress and black eyeliner. I had not thought of it that way.
Maybe I just haven’t found my right shade, but red lipstick is terribly aging on me!
I look very young for age. It's good genes and I take care of my skin. Ppl think I'm lying when I say my age. I have changed how I do my makeup. I like light weight foundations that will still cover my freckles on my cheeks. I know ppl like freckles but I never have. That's why I always loved makeup. I could cover those freckles up. I like to use the it cosmetic concealer just in the inner part of my eye close to bottom lash line too. I find it gives me a youthful look.
Thank you for this excellent video. I have noted all information points.
Thanks Zabrena for your tips, question, i love the blush. pleace tell me what it is!
Hi Zebrena. I recently stumbled upon your channel & I am REALLY enjoying! You are a delight! Your energy! You cheer me up! I'm a bit more mature, than yourself. But I have a question, when I apply foundation, it appears to settle & look dry (mostly on my nose) I use skincare (some serums, moisturizer, sunscreen also a primer). I know it's difficult to solve this issue w/o seeing me - but do you think it might be my foundation? I'm willing to try/change anything to obtain a more flawless look. Have a great day! 💙💜
Powder does help to keep makeup on though. I have to have it on.
I wash my face, after it gets dark because I use retinol, but well before bedtime. That way, when I am blasted I literally just brush & floss my teeth and go to bed.
Now that I'm in my 50s, if I'm wearing foundation, applying primer is doing something great for my skin. I barely use makeup, but when I do I have noticed that a light foundation is the best for my skin. Face primer evens the texture and the foundation stays longer and looks more natural.
I love these tips girl preach I am guilty of falling asleep with makeup on 😂 I have darker hair lately I’ve been staying away from darker brows idk but Burt an Earnie come to mind lol 😂 I use concealer on my eyes 👀 instead of primer I find to like that better I love my blush but I feel like there are days I don’t need contour or bronzer on my cheeks thanks girl love ya bunches ❤
Love this video idea! Such good advice!
Yeah, where can we get that top from? I love it!!!
I also am guilty of falling asleep with my makeup on (while putting my little one to bed). Something that helps is if I was my face during HIS evening routine. Hope this helps.
You look so beautiful Zabrena. I love your hair pulled back like this.
Would you consider doing the cold girl make up?
I have a new trick that makes my lipstick apply smoother than ever. I put on Laneige (grapefruit) lip cream before lipstick and voila. 👍🏾💕
Can you please share what blush it is that you use in the video - thanks so much :)
Thank you! It was the Honest Beauty cream blush in Rose Pink I believe?
Thanks for the tips 🥰🙋🏻♀️❤️
I’m trying to figure out what the concealer is that you are using
What lip liner and lip gloss do you use in this video?
