I have to use an eye gel in the day, called Viscotears, and one called Hylonight for during night hours. It's imperative that I use these two products. For anybody with very dry eye syndrome, the usual type of drops etc are not enough .
Agreed. Nighttime ones are usually and ointment to do before bed usually. Put small ribbon lower eye " pocket" by pulling down inner to outer. Just what I learned using eye ointment at night and nursing school.
Have you tried Restasis 2x daily? I've used it for years and it works except on a few very dry days in the desert. Then I use Boiron Optique drops for extra moisture. But it's good to know of other products just in case.
Hi, Nikol. Every show of yours I watch teaches me something. The idea of trying a different palette sounds like fun. Also, swirling the bronzer up into the blush answers one of my questions. Thank you for being here. You lift my spirits and remind me that I am beautiful, so I am learning to lift my own spirits! Thank you again!!
My ophthalmologist diagnosed me with extreme dry eye which was really affecting my sight. He had me put in drops ten times a day for a couple of weeks and rechecked me. Along with the drops I also stopped using Retin A, washing my hands then using my eye cream. There was a noticeable difference. While I don’t use retinal products on my eyes there is residue on my finger tips that could be cross contaminating my eye cream.
Retin A and hyaluronic acid both pull moisture from the eyes. I absolutely cannot use either. I keep hearing more and more women having dry eyes. I wish ophthalmologists knew the cause.
the more I see you and hear you, the more I love you-because you make me realize there are still people in the world who are good, clean - beautiful inside and out. Thank you! I love your shorts too and of course I love your new line and can't wait to see your new palette!
I need to thank you for giving me the confidence to continue on my letting my graying hair show itself! While I’ve never been one to completely cover it (partial weaves), I did get tired of the expense and the 4 hours in the chair. I just got a haircut and have about 6 inches of “old” hair left to go. I wish I’d done this sooner-it’s so even (gray/blond/brown), and beautiful!!
I did not know dry eye can be related to menopause. I was diagnosed with extremw dry eye and was prescribed Restaysis. It has worked really well but nice to know there could be a natural option. My ophthalmologist recomended putting a warm compress on everyday to lubricate the eyes as well. Love your channel! Thank you!
Always love watching you do the makeup. I switched to doing my eyes first since I started watching you. It’s the best tip ever. Clean up and then my makeup is about done! Makes applying makeup more enjoyable and faster. Can not do eyes without the primer. It’s a must for us olive skinned gals! See ya next time! Hit the bell girls so you don’t miss a video! 🤍🔔
I love your videos, if I need a pick me up and a smile I watch your fashion shorts. You have so much fun with it, it’s infectious. You are a stunning woman! I don’t do as much makeup as you, my lifestyle is different than yours, but your makeup tutorials have helped me perfect what I do. I bought your mascara and liner they are great. I always knew mascara was about the brush as well as the formula. I will be 69 in a month, I have since January of 2023 lost 65 pounds, (very proud of that)🎉. Keep up the good work and make more fashion clips they are so fun.
I’ve had dry eyes for years-probably from too much iPhone/iPad/PC use. The dry heat during the winter too contributes. This past winter has been pretty bad on my eyes. I have used Restasis eye drops for years and recently started putting ointment in my eyes overnight. That has helped a lot. The biggest improvement has been after I started to use nonprescription contacts given to me by my optometrist. What a game changer! I keep them in for a month at a time. They keep the moisture in my eye, and my eyes have improved 75% so far!
Love tutorials. You’re way of applying the makeup, the colors you use help with aging skin to make it glow. I’m 71 and taken care of my skin all my life. Wrinkles are coming. Blemishes are coming. Your way of applying make up and your products has helped me feel better, then using what I used to use, which was heavier and got in the creases. I truly love your product and I so enjoy your tutorials the way that you shy away from using needles and a lot of the other things that another person Is using. You do it in the real world and practical. Yes, some of the make up is a little expensive but it’s worth the value and the result. Thank you so much.
Invizia is an excellent eye drop for dry eyes. Also, castor oil is truly amazing for brows, lashes, under-eye bags, everything! And, bonus feature, it is great for dry eye. Many dry eye remedies contain castor oil! (Organic, hexane-free, in a glass bottle.)
I just found this channel one day trying to escape celebrity gossip. I had almost forgotten there is other content that exists too 😂. Ran across a fashion short that was so amazing and just loved the hair and color along with the outfit you created!! So many around me rather dye their hair, but I will not. Just saw my 1st strand a few days ago, and I'm grateful, especially if I make it to see it fully turn. It just says to me I've lived through it all and still here. No desire to hide it or rewind time. Thanks for the inspiration and keep being you!! ❤🙏🏿
I admit to my grey hair, and yup I earned every single one. BUT, now I can afford and find the stuff to dye my hair any color or scope of colors I want. My parents can't tell me no either. My only barrier is when I want to do extras, like highlights or low lights. Then my husband has to help. He doesn't mind doing, just works a lot.
I love that you focus on what issues we all have/will possibly get.. and you give the tips and or tricks to help correct; and that your looking for more healthy ways to counteract those issues.. Thanks for your honesty with us❤
I recently purchased a bunch of your makeup and I love it all. Thank you for devoting so much time and energy in formulating it. The lipsticks are especially awesome!
I recently bought some of your makeup (creme blush and lip liner) and love the complementary colors. I'm also a big appreciator of your positive message for mature women (I don't like the term "fan"). If I had a wish or two regarding the presents I ordered for myself (i DO love "presents"!), I'd ask that the creme blush last longer and that there were less packaging waste. The rose-covered box inside yet another box seemed excessive - despite the obvious aesthetic appeal of the packaging. Perhaps just wrap the items in rose-printed paper and mail them in the smallest possible box or pouch? Not as pretty, admittedly, but better for the environment. Meanwhile, keep doing what you do. It's all gorgeous and uplifting!
I had dry eye and floaters about 6 months ago. I started spreading a little bit of castor oil on my finger and gently rub on your eye lids and in a matter of a couple of weeks thay have gone. I do it every night. Recommend 100%
I live in Hawaii and had just about given up on makeup. It just sweats off, period. On a whim I asked at the Macy's counter how they kept their makeup on. It was a resounding Estee' Lauder 24 hour. They were so funny, like they had a 13 year old getting her first makeup 😂. Anyway I wound up with a written out sheet of paper of items they all sore by, not all Macy's stuff either, and about a half a bottles worth of samples. One of the older ladies suggested the setting spray stuff, but she said to use it lightly between layers. Well it worked and I loved it. Then I found Sephora. ❤ love at first sight.
I just wanted to say “Thank you” for your video on Dashing Diva nails! You have SAVED my nails from the way they used to peel and split when I was using polish!! I have shared the info and company with sisters and friends and they say “Thank you”, too!! You are a refreshing inspiration to all of us “Older” women. Bless you!❤
I am 66 years old and my grandmother and mother always had Optrex eye lotion which came with an eye cup and it was used the very same way as the one you are using. It was upsetting when we could no longer get the Optrex with the cup. It was so refreshing to use, especially at night after all the eye makeup was removed.
Try the Bausch and Lomb eyewash … seems like it would do the same thing. CVS and Walgreens and other drug stores probably make the same thing under their private label.
@@samanthapolakov9498 Thanks - I'll have to look for that. I live in Barbados so it can be difficult to find some products and of course the import duties can make items very expensive. I usually stock up when I travel
*I have heard that castor oil EYEDROPS are great on many levels as it removes the problems that are causing the dry eye. It increases the lipids to help the lacrimal ducts. Castor oil has anti-inflammatory properties & anti microbial properties as well. Allergy season is here as well and it is very high in FL. I take Zyrtec for allergies. Be sure to research what is best for you as some allergy meds can make you sleepy! I love the new palette samples.. really pretty.
I recently chad cataract surgery. I have extremely dry eyes Not sure if I can use that in my eyes with my new lenses. The OTC drop my Dr suggested don't work well a He said next time maybe a prescription. I was so glad to see you had a video today As a 69 year old woman I really depend on you for serious skin care and makeup tips. You keep it simple and easy for me to do Thank you Please keep the videos coming. Your are special Nikol
I am 61, and feel like finally I know what I am doing in regards my makeup. I look and feel pretty. Thank you Nikol.My big problem is dark circles under my eyes; but I am getting there with color correction. Thank you for your time and effort doing this videos for us. Always a fan ❤
Nikol I will try this PAAVANI Ayurvedic Eye Wash. I have very dry eyes and blephara spasms. I can't wear any eye make-up with the exception of eye pencil on the upper lid. I really love the way you wear your eye make-up wish I could do that. Thank you, love the look!
Eye washing has been around for decades….i understand the wisdom behind it. Eye drops (Systane is what I use) are refreshing, but so many chemicals! Thanks for the suggestion. ❤
Hi Nikol! I am so sorry you have dry eyes. I was diagnosed with Sjogrens, which is an autoimmune disease. One of the symptoms is severe dry eye. In fact, it was my eye doctor who caught it. Anyways, they have me on Restasis. It works great! Plus, you may want to look into Scleral contacts. They are good for those with dry eyes. I just got mine, because I also have a corneal disease called Keratoconus. So, they kill 2 birds with one stone. They are expensive, but I was lucky that my insurance covered them since they are medically necessary. They are a hard lens, but they are so comfortable, because they are not like regular contacts. They also don’t have to be replaced like regular contacts. It might be something you’d like to look into. Love your videos! 💕💕
Beautiful look Nikol! Really fresh evening choice. Thank You for the great advice too. ❤ 😊 I have to say I sit with my cappuccino and watch your latest video… becoming a Monday morning routine I look forward to and actually carve out my time to watch! 😊 I really appreciate your pep talks and wellness shares. I feel like I’ve had chat time and a makeup lesson with a girlfriend, especially when things get really funny! 😆 We all had those moments of “what am I doing?” lol then “You’re going to be looking up my nose” haha Thanks for being so genuine Nikol. Have a wonderful week!
Love your videos. I go back and review 1 or 2 of them during the week. Learning from your techniques have made my make up procedure more confident. Friends have even noticed and made compliments on how my make up appears more natural.
I have had a problem with dry eye for years. I even have implants put in my tear ducts on a regular basis along with eye drops etc. I am open to this product. I will try any thing .
You inspire me to always look my very best.Im on my grey hair journey and enjoy the transformation.Im part of the movement changing the grey hair perception, and I'm loving it❤
Menopause and dry eye go together. Mine improved once hormones evened out (ceased to exist???) People who put drops in their eyes should make sure they are not allergic to any of the ingredients. "Ask your doctor," always excellent advice.
Thank you, Nikol. You answered my dry eye questions! You are the best! I'm seeing my eye doctor next week and will hopefully resolve some of my serious issues... double vision, blurred, etc. In addition to and aggravated by dry eye. I'm getting both the drops/wash today!!!! Thank you!!!
@@how2honey327 I bought some saline drops that closely resemble real tears. They were packaged so they were always sterile and nothing but the drops touched my eyes.
I can’t do my eye make up without your primer either. For years I would keep getting mascara marks on the brow bone! No more does it happen with your eye primer! Thank you so much!
I have chronic dry eye! Cannot even begin to tell you how bad it was when I 0:02 was first diagnosed. Love the holistic road, Ayurvedic. I need to be more consistent. Live my tinctures/yoga. I will look into this. I have had restasis, ziidra and they burn. Gave used eye gels too! I use OTC preservative free and they help. Thanks for this video!
Thank you for not only a beautiful makeup tutorial but for the wonderful information about the products for dry eyes. I will soon be 70 and have worn contact lens since I was 16 and my eyes are terribly dry. I have tried every prescription and OTC I drop out there and nothing helps. My grandmother used to use an eye wash with the glass cup so I'm so glad that you found that and I can't wait to try both the products you used. You are always so beautiful and your makeup is perfection
I came across you when feeling very low, your video about tired of pretending... just caught me at a time when I felt the same. Then you just posted this and I have always suffered from dry eyes..to the point where I cannot apply mascara or eyeshadow.... which I used to love doing. Thank you for keeping it real. I am in the UK and just find your videos uplifting x
Just beautiful! I love ALL of your tutorials. I have gray hair too, and a look I totally love is gray eyebrows with gray hair. I think it's a very classy look. Problem is the closest color to gray I can find is taupe, which just doesn't do it. Would you ever consider developing a true gray brow mascara?I'm looking forward to thr new shadow pallette! I'm always blown away by the outstanding quality of all of the products I've purchased from your line. Thank you so much!
Hi Nikol. I enjoyed your video so much. I stopped the video after only a few minutes and purchased Eye Ritual. I suffer so badly from dry eye. I will do in addition to my dry eye ointments. I am sooo Thankful to you. I just finished watching the rest of the video and love your technique for eye shadow application. So beautiful. All these years, I just thought I will never master eye shadow. Because of you, I am learning that I am trainable. Thank You So Much. ❤️
I can’t wait to try this for my extreme dry eyes!!! I’ve been so miserable and just stopped wearing eye makeup. I struggle with getting all the mucus out of my eyes and it definitely affects my eyesore. Thank you!!!
well this was timely with the eye rinse...just had my yearly ophthalmologist appointment this week and was told I had severe dry eye. I am definitely trying that! Thanks!
I got the paavani eye wash and at first I felt like it burnt my eyes while using but afterwards felt so good. Now I use it and I dont feel that burning sensation and my eyes feel amazing.
You have changed the way I do my eyes at this time. I am more bold with color and I love how to change my look by using your different techniques. Thanks again.
I have found that in the evening if I am going to try something new I do it then for practice as I will be cleaning my face before I go to bed. Practice does make perfect. When I had shoulder surgery I learned how to line my eyes with my left hand instead of my right so practice does make a difference. Thanks
Beautiful as usual. I hope to try the eye wash but will ask my ophthalmologist first. Thank you again for all your instructions. I am getting better with my makeup thanks to you.❤
Hi Nikol, thank you for another wonderful video. I totally sympathise with the dry, inflamed, hot eyes. I am in my late 50's, I has had this very bad for years now and try lots to help it. I stumbled across reusable metal? square ice cubes, you freeze them, I then wrap them in a cool damp muslin cloth and gently hold for a second or two working my way round the eye socket, I still use eye my drops but cubes have given me better and longer lasting results than anything I have tried for the puffy hot side of the problem. Thanks again, looking beautiful as always, take care 🙂
I love your videos. The problem I am having and I don't know if you can do anything about it is while your lipsticks and blush look pink in the left side split screen, they look orangey on you in the right side split screen. I do not like any yellow based products on my skin. So if that's something you can address, great; if not, I'll just live with it. Thanks!
I have Sjögren's syndrome, an autoimmune condition that reduces moisture throughout the whole body. Therefore, my eyes are also dry. Thank you for a great symptom reliever.
Hi Nikol! Just a minor concern I wanted to share... in the video, the Amazon page that you screenshot seems to be for the Paavani facial toner - which I'm going on a limb to say probably SHOULDN'T be used as an eye wash?!?! Your link in the featured products is right, but I don't know if there's some way you can correct the screen shot. I'd hate someone to not be paying attention and think you suggested putting toner in their eyes!! Thanks for all your great teaching and info!!
Nikol, would you be able to go over your current hair cut? A while back you did the Martha Stewart layers, but are you still? And what products are you using to keep your hair back? If i dont use anything, my hair just flops in my face and drives me crazy - but dry shampoo makes me feel gross. And do you blow dry after every wash- and if you do, how are you protecting your hair from frizz? Thank you,
I love all of your products I’ve tried so far! I’m waiting on some new products now. 😊 I’d love if you’d do a video about dermaplaning. How to safely do it at home.
Growing up we always had an eye wash cup...my mom was a great believer in eye washing for "I've got something in my eyr Mom" or itcy ...I'm 82yrs old si this has been a while ago! 😂 .
Like the eye look. Looking forward to the matte eyeshadows. Not sure about the lip color, looks like a pastel orange. Hopefully it's the lighting and camera.
I always look forward to your videos! I’m 69 this year and I lost 100 pounds and skin care and makeup are vital! Thanks for all your tips and tricks! I look better now than I looked at 50!
Nikol, Do you have a non-irritation eye makeup recommendation for me please? I terribly miss wearing eyeliner, shadow and mascara which aggravates my dry eye condition. Thank you
I still have the glass eye wash cup I used as a child in the 1950’s and 60’s. Back then my mom would mix up a boric acid solution to pour in the cup. I would be interested in some type of eye wash.
Always ask your eye doctor first. Mine has had me using a drop of baby shampoo to small amount warm water. Wash crusty etc out of eyes. Use only real baby shampoo. Been using 20 years. My dad's ophthalmologist has him doing same.
I love that you said "you don't need plastic surgery" and "makeup is an illusion", Nikol. ❤
I have to use an eye gel in the day, called Viscotears, and one called Hylonight for during night hours. It's imperative that I use these two products. For anybody with very dry eye syndrome, the usual type of drops etc are not enough .

I think your natural eyelids have a nice color. I’d love to see a very minimalist makeover using just a few products.
Love your videos. I go back and review 1 or 2 of them during the week. Learning from your techniques have made my make up procedure more confident. Friends have even noticed and made compliments on how my make up appears more natural.
I have had a problem with dry eye for years. I even have implants put in my tear ducts on a regular basis along with eye drops etc. I am open to this product. I will try any thing .
You inspire me to always look my very best.Im on my grey hair journey and enjoy the transformation.Im part of the movement changing the grey hair perception, and I'm loving it❤
Menopause and dry eye go together. Mine improved once hormones evened out (ceased to exist???) People who put drops in their eyes should make sure they are not allergic to any of the ingredients. "Ask your doctor," always excellent advice.
Thank you, Nikol. You answered my dry eye questions! You are the best! I'm seeing my eye doctor next week and will hopefully resolve some of my serious issues... double vision, blurred, etc. In addition to and aggravated by dry eye. I'm getting both the drops/wash today!!!!
Thank you!!!
@Cherie Day...so....what did you do??
@@how2honey327 I bought some saline drops that closely resemble real tears. They were packaged so they were always sterile and nothing but the drops touched my eyes.
Yes, I have to use preservative free drops.
Ugh it's miserable! I'm on Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omegas and it's helping.
I can’t do my eye make up without your primer either. For years I would keep getting mascara marks on the brow bone! No more does it happen with your eye primer! Thank you so much!
I use castor oil a small amount on my eyes before bed. Amazing! My dry eyes are gone plus eyelash and brows have grown.
I have been using the castor oil in my eyes for about 3 days. I see the optometrist the nd of the month so am anxious to see if he sees a difference.
Castor oil.
@@queenie5486 Will you please let us know?
@@maureencunningham9524 will do!
@@queenie5486you put it in your eyes? Or on top of your eyelids? How much and do you see a difference?
You can use your brightening powder to diffuse intense color or use a clean brush to blend everything out.
The Pavaani eye wash is no longer available on Amazon, but found it on the actual Pavaani site. $44 on sale there.
You’re literally beautiful Nikol!
I have chronic dry eye! Cannot even begin to tell you how bad it was when I 0:02 was first diagnosed. Love the holistic road, Ayurvedic. I need to be more consistent. Live my tinctures/yoga. I will look into this. I have had restasis, ziidra and they burn. Gave used eye gels too! I use OTC preservative free and they help. Thanks for this video!
Nikol Johnson, Subscribed because your content is fantastic!
Thank you
Thanks for the beautiful content and all the help. I learn something new every week. Thank you so much. Have a great week!! Esme’🌸💝
Thank you for not only a beautiful makeup tutorial but for the wonderful information about the products for dry eyes. I will soon be 70 and have worn contact lens since I was 16 and my eyes are terribly dry. I have tried every prescription and OTC I drop out there and nothing helps. My grandmother used to use an eye wash with the glass cup so I'm so glad that you found that and I can't wait to try both the products you used. You are always so beautiful and your makeup is perfection
This look is perfection!!!!…I love it!!!!…thank you so much, Nikol!…you always bring us the best tips and ideas!!!…much love and appreciation!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜
Yay! Thank you!
Just fabulous as always! I purchased the bronzer, can’t wait until comes. ❤Elle
I started having issues with my eyes from extended exposure to high stress environments. Thank you for the suggestion
I loved this video. I have dry eyes so I have ordered this formula!
Hope you like it!
I came across you when feeling very low, your video about tired of pretending... just caught me at a time when I felt the same. Then you just posted this and I have always suffered from dry eyes..to the point where I cannot apply mascara or eyeshadow.... which I used to love doing. Thank you for keeping it real. I am in the UK and just find your videos uplifting x
Just beautiful! I love ALL of your tutorials. I have gray hair too, and a look I totally love is gray eyebrows with gray hair. I think it's a very classy look. Problem is the closest color to gray I can find is taupe, which just doesn't do it. Would you ever consider developing a true gray brow mascara?I'm looking forward to thr new shadow pallette! I'm always blown away by the outstanding quality of all of the products I've purchased from your line. Thank you so much!
Hi Nikol. I enjoyed your video so much. I stopped the video after only a few minutes and purchased Eye Ritual. I suffer so badly from dry eye. I will do in addition to my dry eye ointments. I am sooo Thankful to you. I just finished watching the rest of the video and love your technique for eye shadow application. So beautiful. All these years, I just thought I will never master eye shadow. Because of you, I am learning that I am trainable. Thank You So Much. ❤️
I can’t wait to try this for my extreme dry eyes!!! I’ve been so miserable and just stopped wearing eye makeup. I struggle with getting all the mucus out of my eyes and it definitely affects my eyesore. Thank you!!!
You give such great instructions. Appreciate your videos. Thank you. ❤😊
well this was timely with the eye rinse...just had my yearly ophthalmologist appointment this week and was told I had severe dry eye. I am definitely trying that! Thanks!
Thank you for all of the amazing information-you are so beautiful & you’ve helped me “play” with makeup for the first time in my life-I’m 60
Thanks for sharing this beautiful look. God bless.
Thank you Nikol for sharing your expertise, and, I love how patient you are! God bless you 😊
I got the paavani eye wash and at first I felt like it burnt my eyes while using but afterwards felt so good. Now I use it and I dont feel that burning sensation and my eyes feel amazing.
You have changed the way I do my eyes at this time. I am more bold with color and I love how to change my look by using your different techniques. Thanks again.
I have found that in the evening if I am going to try something new I do it then for practice as I will be cleaning my face before I go to bed. Practice does make perfect. When I had shoulder surgery I learned how to line my eyes with my left hand instead of my right so practice does make a difference. Thanks
What a beautiful look! And I love that it's matte.
Thank you for being here for me !
Beautiful as usual. I hope to try the eye wash but will ask my ophthalmologist first. Thank you again for all your instructions. I am getting better with my makeup thanks to you.❤
So true about techniques!!! I've learned so many things from you and know I'm using less product with better application! Thank you Nikol!!!
Hi Nikol, thank you for another wonderful video. I totally sympathise with the dry, inflamed, hot eyes. I am in my late 50's, I has had this very bad for years now and try lots to help it. I stumbled across reusable metal? square ice cubes, you freeze them, I then wrap them in a cool damp muslin cloth and gently hold for a second or two working my way round the eye socket, I still use eye my drops but cubes have given me better and longer lasting results than anything I have tried for the puffy hot side of the problem. Thanks again, looking beautiful as always, take care 🙂
I was diagnosed very dry eyes and had IPL treatments on my eyes after recommended by my doctor. I did get some relief from it.
Hi Nikol thank you so much for sharing the product information for dry eyes. The makeup looks gorgeous as usual❤❤
Thank you so much!!
Would you ever do a video where you try on each of your lipsticks so we can see the colors? And you look stunning in this look! Thank u!
I have dry eye also and I use a little castor oil on my lids at night and it works like a dream. Love your videos.
Great advice for dry eyes 👀 😊
Very pretty look today. Thanks for all the tips.
I love your videos. The problem I am having and I don't know if you can do anything about it is while your lipsticks and blush look pink in the left side split screen, they look orangey on you in the right side split screen. I do not like any yellow based products on my skin. So if that's something you can address, great; if not, I'll just live with it. Thanks!
Hi Nikki 👋 and everyone, this is a beautiful look thankyou for your videos I love the positivity I feel from watching them. ❤❤🇦🇺🇦🇺
I received my Nikol BB creme and creme blush. The colors are really good for me. Love them both.
I put castor oil on my eyelids for dry eye, but I need to try this eye wash!
I have used something from Mario Badescu drying lotion on pimples it works very good
I have Sjögren's syndrome, an autoimmune condition that reduces moisture throughout the whole body. Therefore, my eyes are also dry. Thank you for a great symptom reliever.
Hi Nikol, I ordered your eye primer and it is the best, just the right shade! I also ordered your mascara, I love it😍
Anxious to have your matte shadows come out!
Love the eye wash! I have an antique cup that was used for the same purpose! 🙂
Thank you!! I just learned quite a few tricks from you. 😊
Hi Nikol! Just a minor concern I wanted to share... in the video, the Amazon page that you screenshot seems to be for the Paavani facial toner - which I'm going on a limb to say probably SHOULDN'T be used as an eye wash?!?! Your link in the featured products is right, but I don't know if there's some way you can correct the screen shot. I'd hate someone to not be paying attention and think you suggested putting toner in their eyes!! Thanks for all your great teaching and info!!
Nikol, would you be able to go over your current hair cut? A while back you did the Martha Stewart layers, but are you still? And what products are you using to keep your hair back? If i dont use anything, my hair just flops in my face and drives me crazy - but dry shampoo makes me feel gross. And do you blow dry after every wash- and if you do, how are you protecting your hair from frizz?
Thank you,
I love all of your products I’ve tried so far! I’m waiting on some new products now. 😊 I’d love if you’d do a video about dermaplaning. How to safely do it at home.
Nicole - I love your videos and have learned a lot from them. One question - I wear glasses. What eye makeup tips can you give me
Growing up we always had an eye wash cup...my mom was a great believer in eye washing for "I've got something in my eyr Mom" or itcy ...I'm 82yrs old si this has been a while ago! 😂
.
Same here, we used boric acid powder and the glass eye cup! Worked perfect.
Like the eye look. Looking forward to the matte eyeshadows. Not sure about the lip color, looks like a pastel orange. Hopefully it's the lighting and camera.
I always look forward to your videos! I’m 69 this year and I lost 100 pounds and skin care and makeup are vital! Thanks for all your tips and tricks! I look better now than I looked at 50!
I'm so glad!
Gorgeous makeup and application! I have the opposite problem, my left eye always waters…looks like I’m crying, so annoying.
I do too and the MD said it was because of the dry eye and tears not staying in the eye.
Nikol, Do you have a non-irritation eye makeup recommendation for me please? I terribly miss wearing eyeliner, shadow and mascara which aggravates my dry eye condition. Thank you
I still have the glass eye wash cup I used as a child in the 1950’s and 60’s. Back then my mom would mix up a boric acid solution to pour in the cup. I would be interested in some type of eye wash.
Always ask your eye doctor first. Mine has had me using a drop of baby shampoo to small amount warm water. Wash crusty etc out of eyes. Use only real baby shampoo. Been using 20 years. My dad's ophthalmologist has him doing same.
How do I get your list of products for each tutorial,love this one with most of your products. Thanks
This definitely helps I have the same problem with my eyes ❤
Oh Nikol, your lashes are so long & beautiful. Lucky! Mine are nonexistent, (but I hate when extensions fall out.)
