  • This video was requested by my Facebook group after a feature that I had written on the subject appeared in T2 in @thetimes a couple of weeks ago. Rather than a list of ridiculous rules that older women should adhere to, it was an honest look at some of the pitfalls of getting older and the quick fix ways to mend simple hair and makeup mistakes.
    In this video I menton
    @rapidlashuk and @rapidbrow @blinkbrowbar and @ardellbeauty_uk Brow Dye Kit, I feature both @charlottetilbury Legendary Brows and the budget @lorealparis Plump And Set Brow, all to fix lash and brow thinning and greying.
    I chat about how to avoid creasy under eye concealer with @vichylaboratoires Mineral 89 and @narsissist Radiant Creamy Concealer, @erborian_uk BB Crayon or @lancomeofficial Tient Idole Ultra All Over Concealer.
    To lock in lipstick I chat about both @lancomeofficial Transparent Lip Liner and @maccosmeticsuk Prep + Prime Lip, both brilliant at stopping lip colours and glosses from bleeding.
    I talk about hair and the mistake of staying too dark when you go grey and talk hair texture with a shout out to @inoaruk I have mine done @hershesons , and the smoothing and brilliant @olaplexuk 6 Blow Dry Cream and lighter @redken 1 United Spray.
    I show how to cheat a creased eye evem when you develop hooded eyes with simple neutral tones matte shdaows and a brush - mentioning @narsissist Blondie, @maccosmeticsuk Finjan and @bobbibrownuk Nude and Cement top of my lists.
    I also chat magnifying mirrors with a @tweezermanuk x10 Light Up Magnifying Mirror being anyone who wears glasses best friend (just don't pick your spots in it or think you look like that IRL, you dont, trust me).
    Look out for more of my beauty features in @thetimesmagazine - I always give you a heads up so you can buy the paper. Thank you as always to @msnicolajeal

    I’ve used RapidBrow for about two years now. Completely grew my eyebrows back. I mean I had nothing. They grew back thick and dark. My daughters still can’t believe it. I swear by this stuff.

    Great video! As a hairstylist I’d love to add; also going way to light with hair color. Going too light can wash a woman out and age her. Blondes look much more youthful with a rooted look and dimension. No matter what color a woman is in later years she needs dimension in her shade ( flat colors age). The tone is also a factor! A tool cool toned blonde or brunette can wash out mature skin, warmer tones are more flattering. I can no longer wear the cool toned highlights That used to flatter my cool toned complexion, going a bit warmer or neutral is best for a youthful look. Getting in a rut of wearing your high school haircut can age you like fire. Have you ever seen a woman with a facelift still wearing their hair in a dated haircut? It’s not pretty.

    SUPER EASY brow dying hack: I dye my own brows using a men’s beard dye from the drugstore. It comes in a box called “just for men” here in the states. It’s only a little tube of dye gel - no mixing - and I apply it with a slanted eyeliner brush and it doesnt drip or run and very inexpensive

    • @giulitorelli
      @giulitorelli Před 2 lety +7

      I do that for eyebrows and quick hair root fix!🤗

    • @queens6583

      Yup! I use it too and easy peasy to use.

    • @alicebailey5326
      @alicebailey5326 Před 2 lety +10

      I do that too! Just For Men in the UK too. I use an angled brush & spoolie combo from Eyelure to put it on and do two, shorter, applications of it (rather than one for the full time) to really capture all the small hairs. So much cheaper than the Eyelure brow dye and 100 x cheaper than a salon tint! Lasts really well too

    The best thing I ever did, when I turned 60, was to have micro-blading done, on my brows. Mine are so natural, now, and I don't have to wear any brow makeup. Once a year, now I get them touched up.

  • @helenfrancis2915
    @helenfrancis2915 Před 2 lety +1

    Agree with the comment on ‘sagging’ contours/jawline, I know all this is natural ageing but it’s such a nice feeling to just tweak things a bit! Great stuff Nadine, your Times articles have encouraged me to buy the Times (hard copy) again, thank you.

    Loved your tip about the hyaluronic acid around the eyes before applying concealer. Fantastic tip! I know a lot about beauty but had never heard about that. Will buy the Vichy one you were demonstrating. I've always tried to be careful about applying concealer around the eye area but it still seems to collect because of the crepiness there even though I use eye cream morning and nights and have done for years. Thank you for all your tips and advice Nadine. You're the best!

  • @vanessacastillejo1
    @vanessacastillejo1 Před 2 lety +1

    I love love rapidlash. Agree with hair colour too. Very good tips. I just would say that with the hyaluronic acid I never had much luck and I am oily dehydrated 42 year old but now I do hydrating toner or thermal water and apply whilst skin is wet, game changer.

    Great tips Nadine, thanks. Go on give it a go, tint your brows, will save you heaps of time and money. I've used lots of different types over the years and my brows are very dark naturally even though I'm 60. Use a barrier below and above and an angled brush, easier than doing eyelashes. The Tweezerman mirror is great, good for holidays.

    Wow Nadine- I really really loved this !! Eyebrows are the bane of my life. I’m naturally white blond and getting my white eyebrows tinted has been disastrous- always the salons do them too dark - not their fault Mayb cos I can’t manage to get them right either, especially as I get older. Yes - do a video please !

    Nadine is a great beauty advisor. She's down to earth and can reccomended well priced items I dye my own hair and it's fine people think I'm a real. Redhead but actually I'm a natural brunette, but as, Nadine says do not go back to dark.

    So refreshing to listen to a no nonsense video. I'm 62 but am lucky that I've got good skin and there's still plenty of collagen to give me firmness. However, my eyebrows are beginning to lose definition so I'm taking on board all your advice. Thank you from a new subscriber.

  • @paulamanningtsougranis8324

    Great advice Nadine. I would also add that when you add powder under your eyes, hold off until after your concealer has dried. If you powder too soon, you will end up cakey looking

    @alicewamp Před 2 lety +4

    I’ve dyed my own eyebrows fir years. I also shape them myself by tweezing. I think I do a good job?! I have quite dark brows and used to dye them black. Now I dye my hair copper so I dye mine with the light brown Ardell brow tint. Super easy and fool proof. Thanks Nadine! I loved this video. Super useful advice as usual

    Hi Nadine, I have just descovered your channel and I'm loving it! I'm 52, so really needed your advise. I have purchased the cerave cleanser and also their Hydrarting acid serum and facial creme, plus Garnier Ambre super uv. My evening routine is, cleanse, with cerave, use the cerave serum and then top it with Estee Lauder advanced night repair. I do the same routine is the same, but I swop the Estee Lauder for the Cerave face cream, topped with Garnier super uv. I would be truly grateful to know, if I am doing everything right. Any advice would be very welcomed.

  • @jordanxfile
    @jordanxfile Před 2 lety +8

    Nadine, I definitely think you should try to tint your brows 😍 I haven't used the Ardell one, but have been using my Wella Koleston Perfect salon series colors to tint mine. I know they say not to, but I've been doing it for the last 20 years and haven't experienced any negative effects. One just needs to be careful to apply the color carfeully. My brows are a little lighter than I want, so I use the ashy blonde color to darken them ever so slightly to a greyish dark blonde. Please bear in mind that I've been using these professional colors for years and am aware of the color wheel, so I have a collection of colors like 12/81, 12/96, 0/11, 0/88 and a few more. So, for anyone reading out there, make sure you have a backup plan in case you are attempting this for the very first time. Which means, if you go lighter than you want, you need to have a darker/ashy tone to re-apply if you want to darken your brows. If you go darker than you intended, then you need to be able to lighten and tone your brows again. It is not that complicated once you get a hang of it, especially if you color your own hair, it is pretty simple really. Brows look better when they are your shadow root color or one to two tones darker than your block color.

    @tex1622 Před 2 lety

    Tinting my naturally blonde eyebrows black (using 1000 hours brow + lash tint in Natural Black) changed the game for me! I wish I had started doing it years ago as brows really frame the face. It's so easy, Nadine. Just apply a good amount of vaseline around the brows to avoid dying the skin around them, and keep a course old face halo handy as it can scrub off any stray dye too.

As good if not better results than Eyelure, half the price, bigger shade range and twice as much in the tube! Learnt about it a few years ago and haven't looked back. Always tint my brows with that now :)

    Great video thank you. Can I ask for some advice about mismatched eyes! I have one eye that is considerable more hooded than the other so if I apply the same make up to both eyes it looks odd but then if I do it differently on each eye it doesn't look right either. I've got so frustrated I'm just using mascara now but would like to learn what to do.
