I'm turning 60 this year. Believe me, there is next to NOTHING out there in terms of fashion and makeup for my age range. All the faces and bodies are teenagers and twenty-somethings with bare midriffs. Do a search for 60, and there is an endless array of videos and articles about WHAT YOU CAN'T WEAR, and nothing else! *Thank heaven for Wayne Goss* I come to this channel, and I don't feel invisible, I don't feel talked down to, I don't feel dismissed. Always good, solid advice. You're the best! ❤
Amen! I’m 71 & was just out shopping today. As I looked at some of the really adorable summer clothes, I thought, “Oh, to be 17 again & to be able to wear that!” Some things would just look ridiculous on us mature gals. Ditto for lots of the make-up looks. Yay for Wayne!
A lot of the advice for us mature women is downright depressing and discouraging. For years now I've avoided any eyeshadow that was remotely shimmery and I never would have even thought of wearing anything shiny. But I''ve been exploring different makeup channels recently, including this one, and I've learned a few tricks that have changed everything. One trick is to use concealer on my eyelinds before applying my primer. The other is to tap eyeshadow onto my lid instead of swiping it on. Using that technique and buying really good, finely milled shadows llike Charlotte Tilbury and Pat McGrath, I can wear shimmers and even metallics because tapping the shadow on gives a lovely sheer wash instead of unflattering glitter and gleam. Wayne's concealer tricks are fantastic, too. I realized I had been apllying it all wrong, and certainly in the wrong place.
Wayne, I just want to remind you that you are one of the most attractive, handsome, beautiful men I have ever seen! You make aging look beautiful. It goes without saying your heart is gold and you're a beautiful person. But I also wanted you to know you are simply gorgeous! Please don't be too self critical, to others eyes, you are perfect ♡
Yes, exactly! I’m almost 50 and I had to figure this out myself. Highlight and contour depend so much on face shape that they should change from person to person. But we keep on seeing youtubers saying “highlight goes here, here and here”, as if everybody had the same face. Well, it depends on what is happening on your face. Thanks for teaching us again! 😊
So glad Wayne has pointed out that the fat pads move…I was trying to figure out what to do myself, opting for nose, Cupid’s bow instead. I have seen beauty you-tubers do make-overs on their mothers with the same old highlight techniques which, as you say, are not relevant as we don’t all have the same face. It’s most unflattering on a slightly older face for sure.
Wayne, I love how you say that you do these particular things for “your face shape.” Nod, nod, wink, wink. Your longtime fans know how you truly feel about that blasted nose tip highlight--on any face shape!! 🤣🤣 I love you…and your face. 😘
These are actually good tips for ppl of any age. I see even a lot of teens and 20’s that will highlight for the trend, not for their face, and it shows by doing the opposite of what they THINK they are doing. Having said that, I’m a huge fan of doing whatever the hell it is you like! ❤️
I turn 60 this year (how did this happen???) and I’ve always loved makeup. I like sparkle but I’m being much more subtle with it. I struggle with highlighter and I’m actually excited to try putting it further back on my cheek. Wayne, thank you for so generously sharing your expertise with us. You are very, very much appreciated.
I am loving these videos because when I try to do a makeup and I'm learning from a 22-year-old it looks wonderful on her/him but on my 43-year-old skin not so much!
I found out on my own about these particular areas as well. I so happy you're helping us find out other options. I was under the impression that the c zone and high cheekbone/ eye area were main highlight areas as well. Thanks Wayne. You always give such positive feedback. You are very appreciated.
Hi Wayne-thank you for this video. Since the fat pads of my cheeks have dropped due to aging, I’ve been unsure of where to place my blush, and, to a certain degree, my highlighter when I wear it. This video has helped immensely and I really appreciate your advice for those of us over 40 and beyond.😊
I am turning 70 this fall, and I have to be very careful about highlight where on my cheekbones I USED to wear it. I have developed very visible smile lines, so I now genrally put blush on and highlight a bit over the blush. P.S. Highlight on the tip of the nose is a habit that needs to die and NOT just for older peoole. So many people who do it use WAY too much and look like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer's shinier cousin!!
Yes, the nose highlight is awful. It can be pretty on noses with little forward projection IF they do just a tiny dot. But so many people just brush back and forth over the whole tip and make their nose look more bulbous and greasy.
Yes! I'm just figuring out where to highlight my face at 44 years old. The "top of the cheekbone" advice never worked for me, but I've been following your tip to highlight above the brow for years.
You continue to amaze me. I'm 57 with thin Scandinavian skin, prominent blue veins are appearing around my eyes and temples. It's so easy to look up popular makeup tutorials and see the same patterns and fall into that cookie cutter way of doing things. Then, I watch your videos and find myself thinking....why didn't anyone tell me this before? You help us. You are so knowledgeable, sweet, genuine and humble. Thanks for all you do!!
As a 47-year-old, I appreciate this sort of advice. I've been avoiding getting highlight too high up of my cheekbones because it emphasizes the my crow's feet. I also can't highlight too close to my nose on the tops of my cheeks unless it emphasized the orange peel texture. There's a very small area where I can highlight on my cheeks. I find that a liquid or cream highlight looks way better on my skin than a powder highlight. Unless it's your powder highlight, then it's glorious. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this sort of a video. It's helpful to those of us who still want to wear makeup, but are dealing with changing territory.
Another great video of what to do vs what not to do when highlighting the face. Wayne Goss you know it all and I’m really happy about that! You’re my go to when I want to know “for sure” if I’m doing it right… Thank you for your time and the attention you give to each and everyone of us who learn from watching you. 🤩
Wayne-53 and so far no fillers…highlighting almost opposite the way I did 10 yrs ago…also using darker foundation and not so matte, not putting contour any further in than the edge of my eyes-this has helped me-we really DO need to change our habits after 50!!!
I remember you mentioned an Ellis Faas highlighter many many years ago and I still use that one to this day for the most etherial glow on mature skin. You always give the best tips I don't see on other channels and you have definitely changed my routine for the better. Thank you so much!
I’m 62 and I don’t use highlighter except lightly over top of blush. I never use a glittery one though as it doesn’t look good. Thanks for another great, informative video. God bless you!
I love this. I’m 30 but I have always had emphasized under eyes. Also, as I have fluctuated in weight and retain water due to blood pressure issues, I have to try to look at my face critically each time I do makeup. Thank you for this reminder to continue to do so ❤️
Thanks for the tips. While it seems logical that we evaluate our faces as they change, it's just too easy to keep applying makeup the way we always did. Loved the subject of the video as I recently turned 50 and can use all the pro-aging advice. Would've like a split screen, wrong vs right. Keep the mature beauty support coming!
Thank you! My mom has been getting into makeup lately and I'm finding that the same makeup that works for me as a 30 yr old than her as a 50yr old is not the same. This video was very helpful and I will experiment with a highlighter in different areas to see what works for her. Thank you!
I am turning 50 this year, and I cannot tell you how thankful I am for videos like this! So many are geared to young people without the issues of aging skin. So please keep up your brilliant videos, especially the ones for those of us who are “experienced.” 😊❤️
I don’t use highlight very often because it just doesn’t look good on me. My emphasis is to elongate my eyes & pull them up by concealing & drawing a thin wing & lots of mascara. I always contour/bronze & bcz I have lip filler, my lips look really nice w/a slight over-line & nude gloss. Oh I wear makeup - no doubt I just can’t go overboard anymore. I will admit, I do miss it sometimes but I’m pretty happy with things most of the time.
SO much better when one side of the face wrong and one right, much easier to understand. When the whole face is done it's harder to remember what NOT to do. Thanks lovely boy.
I really love this approach. I like that instead of saying after age 40 throw out all your shimmer, he instead, is placing a more gentle reminder that as we age our face changes and with those changes it is necessary to allow our makeup techniques to evolve as well
I'm 52, deep tan complexion and only recently started wearing makeup regularly - thank you Laura Geller and you Wayne. A while ago, I watched a video where to suggested that we not buy highlighter, but use something appropriate from any eyeshadow palettes we already own. So I had a look today and found something. Then I said, now let me go see where Wayne suggests I put said 'highlighter(eyeshadow). I love how straightforward your videos are. You are open, honest, and I truly appreciate you. You're my go to guru. ❤❤
Thank you for these aging skin videos! I'm 37 and noticed some years ago that I cannot apply makeup the same way I used to in my 20s and early 30s. It is so frustrating to tell someone what I know I need and have them tell me I don't have mature skin, and then continue applying my makeup like they would on 20 something skin. I'm getting married in a few months and the MUAs I've been to have convinced me to do my own makeup for my wedding. One used highlighter everywhere, both used an airbrush application which I hated and told them that I did, neither application matched my neck or chest and neither wanted to blend the makeup down onto my neck and chest... instead one wanted me to get a spray tan so that he makeup matched my skin better. It was dry and crepey, didn't hide my deep set under eye area at all, and there was way too much blush way high up on my cheekbones which doesn't look good on me. So I'm very appreciative for these videos.
Loving the realness and opening the convo on ageing🥰 personally, I've stopped using highlighter as I couldn't make it do "its thing" anymore. I concentrate on concealer, getting the skin texture filled in with serums, thin layers of foundation and baking power is my saviour, that stuff fills too without cracking! Obvs at night, I am using retinol, in day vitamin c serums and getting really good effect from a really ordinary No 7 factor 50 sunscreen, that actually fills pores, but that's not what it's sold as! I think trying to keep skin hydrated and supple is the best we can do if we can't afford surgeries, and take supplements 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Making sure I have false eyelashes on and good smudged eyeliner is also a godsend, my eyes are my feature even in ageing. They lift everything.
I love how you don't think any feature of the face or aging is unattractive, just something we deal with. Your tips are always logical and kind and I love it!
You are just lovely ! I normally banish all make up videos from my feed because the ‘experts’ are mostly unrecognisable before/after. Each to their own but that’s not for me. You have such a lovely way of encouraging people to find beauty in themselves and make their best features work for them. You do it in a honest but still kind & gentle way. I love the little wave at the start of all your videos! Thank you for sharing your expertise & look forward to the next tutorial 😊
Thank you so much for your clear explanations and demos! Trying to figure out highlighting as I age was frustrating because sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. Now I get why. You keep me from giving up on the fun that is makeup.
Very informative video. Though I am tempted to highlight the “no no” areas of my face, you’ve convinced me less is more and finding “my” best areas. You’re adorable btw. Love your content 🙌
Wayne I LOVE your videos! I'm 34 and even on me, the highlighting of the under eye cheek bone doesn't look good on me...I've learned it looks so much better on me on the outer cheek bones, like you mentioned. I live how all I can learn from all of your videos, even as a younger woman. Makes me not fear getting old!
Omgs you are already highlighted from the inside dear!! That's what truly shines on you! Make up is wonderful, along with all your amazing tips. Yet, nothing can touch the highlights of your naturally kind and beautiful soul you radiate!!
Hi Wayne at 50 highlighter is something I use very sparingly tbh and opt for a pearlescent glow, rather than shimmer or OMG glitter lol. I still have a round face, but my jawline is softening even further and I didn't ever have a really defined jawline anyway. I put my highlight on the top of the cheekbone, but not too far in and I also keep my blush higher too. I sometimes layer the highlighter underneath the blush for a softer look too. I don't contour or use bronzer - I'm the palest of the pale Scottish skin and both look muddy or grey or even oh no orange. A gentle flush gives my face back enough colour to look healthy, but I never ever get a natural tan so bronzer always looks unnatural on me. I will put a little highlight above the brow (not too much wrinkling on the forehead as yet) and the cupid's bow, but not the nose. Shimmer eyeshadow is for the centre of the lid only, with a tiny bit in the inner corner - although I often use a matte white there. More mature people can wear highlighter, but I think we need less and only in very strategic areas. Best wishes.
Hi Wayne, I work in a large skincare and cosmetic store as a host, I'm the oldest staff member by about 17 years and have only recently trained as a makeup artist at age 46. I love your videos and frequently recommend your channel to customers as there is so little information or inspiration available for mature women on social media. I have a real passion for makeup for mature skin and hope to start holding classes as I gain more knowledge and experience. Thanks so much for all you do and your willingness to share what you know. 😊
I would love to see your tutorials on older women. I am 68 years old and I am told that my skin is nice for my age. I am also a cosmetic junkie. I definitely do not want to look like a freak or a monster or a clown. But as someone said, there is really nothing out there for very mature women. I would love it and it would be so helpful if you had tutorials using older women as your model as opposed to a not quite middle aged, really good-looking man. I love your products and I love your tutorials. I would just like to see more with people like me. Thanks!
That highlight on the tip of the nose reminded me so much of Mel T.! Not intentional, I'm sure, but it made me smile all the same. I'm 41 this year, and using balm/creme highlighters that are much more "glowy" than shimmery, but I have to admit it's been a struggle to find ones in any formulation (powder, liquid, etc.) that don't have chunks of glitter in them or emphasize natural skin texture. Thank you, as always, for your gentle advice, your warmth and humor.
My chin! I can't highlight it, because it's kinda got little dimples. The tip of nose - I sure don't want to make it look even BIGGER! I can apply a tiny bit of non-sparkly highlighter on the high point of my cheekbones. I'd love to be able to "let rip and glow like a beacon" though, it must be wonderful. Highlighting the bottom lip is a new one to me but I thought it looked so pretty 😍 Love you Mr Goss, 💗💗💗
Great message Wayne!!! I am still amazed when I see some of your old videos with your cheeks being so full and rounded. It is amazing how our faces change over time from our young adult years. At 52, I place highlighter on my cheek bone, inner eye and a thin line on the brow bone. I would never put it on the tip of my nose that I contour but some people on their videos place such a prominent harsh highlighter dot on the tip and it looks so unnatural and strange even as it's too much in the amount which is what I mainly see the younger ladies doing.
I love this! Thank you for the incredible advice, it’s helped me so much! It’s so much deeper than just the makeup it’s about self love and helping us embrace ourselves highlighting our best features. I have hooded eyes and I’m getting some lines on my cheeks so this is really helpful because sometimes I would do all this make up and then I feel like I look even worse. I’m 41 and I’ve been very sick so sometimes I feel like it’s affected my looks but these videos have helped me so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Hello! I hope you are having a wonderful day. I was busy in my sewing room all day sorting out scraps of fabric. I hope you have a joyful week ahead. Thank you for posting your video!
I'm 36 and I have seen the onset of this edging in, so I got into the harshest light possible and played about with just how unflattering it could get and how great it could get too. It was shocking but necessary for me and my makeup game has completely changed for the better 👍👍
Wayne do not be hard on yourself!! You are so great and professional and your work is very useful. Aging is for everybody - we all have to deal with it!
I'm not sure what hole I've been living in, but I've never heard of you before. Your makeup techniques are lovely, and your voice is so soothing. Thank you for this video.
Yrs ago when I turned 65 I went &bought what I called the Kim Kit & highlighted as I see now my ok face into a Venetian mask-esp the deep lip on a white face&soon after saw your video on eyes&gave the pile of lovely shinys to my 8&10 yr old grand girls-it's near 10yrs later&your advice to look in the mirror 1st&once you finish&Your very very best=It's just makup❤
I’ve seen you around but have not, until tonight, clicked on one of your videos. I’m so glad I did. I think I thought I wouldn’t relate to you because you were male, but along with your excellent demonstrations and descriptions, I found it so much easier to see the effect you were verbally illustrating, because… 1) You have fair skin 2) You have real life wrinkles 3) You did an excellent job of explaining and demonstrating the technique. I’m a newbie. Very helpful. Thank you for making this available.
Ow my honey pie!! You “don’t have trouble zones” you’re so so cute! And im so happy with your honesty, makes me feel it’s confident to cover some “trouble zones” and don’t feel like a cheater! thank you! You’re beautiful! No matter your age! You will always be my inspiration !💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
Wayne, you are genius! I am over 50. Yesterday, I was thinking why do I have bags under my eyes where normally I don't. Watching this tutorial, I realized I had put highlighter there and it was emphasizing it. Won't do that again. Thank you, never stop teaching us please.
Thanks, Wayne for the clear instruction on highlighting the mature face. At 62 I'm finding it challenging to keep a fresh and glowy look and so began using highlighter after watching some other makeup artists but wasn't happy with the results. Your video just showed me WHY it wasn't working. Now I'll try again with a lot more understanding of what will work for me.
Thanks for making this vid. I turned 61 this year and I realize I can't highlight like the youtubers. I discovered the best areas for my face to highlight are exactly as you described. Good to know I'm on the right track! Thank u Wayne! 💕❣💕
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder .. I think you’re looking even more handsome than ever ! But guess we’re all our own worse critics . I’m 60 , feel invisible but taking on board all the wonderful advice you give 💙😘
I see other women with waayy too much highlighter on, and hoping they see your video. 😊 I’m a a certain age 🤣 where I can only wear a touch of it, and that’s over my blush, which I keep up higher on my cheeks, otherwise, it’ll show texture. I found a highlighter that isn’t sparkly, and has no color, just looks dewy when light hits it. The eyes are a real challenge, hooded, and small. I envy the women who have room to be creative with their eye shadow, but we just have to work with what we’ve got ! 😉 You’re looking good, as always, and thanks for the info ! Have a nice weekend ! 🦋🌞🌸
These are great tips and I agree with you! I’ve been applying highlighter only in the areas that you are recommending since I was in my early 20s, and now 10 years later, it still looks great and natural. I never cared for the dramatic highlight or any type of contouring. Always love your videos! Thank you 😊
Not 40 yet but I'm collecting these tips, everyone at any age should be able to wear whatever they wish and feel beautiful, much love Wayne for showing us all these really helpful tips
I'm 42 and I love highlighter. It's one of my favorite makeup products and I have so many of them. As you can see in my picture I have too much highlighter on 😂 Anastasia makes some of my faves and I loved Becca. ✨
Wayne Goss you are Fabulous!!! Your 13 points, I think it was for applying foundation has totally changed my game and my makeup looks so very much better! Also your tip for applying concealer is the best way I have ever tried on my 60ish year old skin! Your tips are invaluable!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!
I try and avoid taking a critical look at my face as much as possible!! This is a really useful video, im 58 and find i use less and less highlighter, and shimmer eyeshadows now, i tend to use more matt shadows, and have a matt bronzer that I've been using a lot, its good for doubling as eyeshadow, & blusher day to day. Your tips on where you can use highlighter are really helpful! Wouldnt have though of above the brow bone! Great video, as always! Thank you!
Yes! My fat pads have dropped and there’s just loose skin due to weight loss! So not just aging......lucky me! Fantastic video to remind us to look at our own face shape when contouring and highlighting. You mentioned fixing the dropped fat pads with concealer - I would love to see you demonstrate that technique! Thank you so much! Just received your face palette and blush palette and am enjoying them so very much! 💖
Wayne, you’re so good at knowing how to make-up your own face that I’ve wondered if you wear make-up on a daily basis. Thanks for being so sweet and informative. Love your videos.
Really love it when you demonstrate on each half of your face what not to do and what to do as you did in your previous concealer video. Thank you for all of your advice, hugs!
Makes complete sense as I now see why highlight an area of the face that’s not my best part . Definitely I stay away from any high lighter near my chin area because it seems the skin there as we age starts to sag and definitely would love a video on actually concealing that type of problem without an actual procedure, example being the jaw and chin areas where we see that aging skin start to sag. Love to learn a way to kinda conceal that area
Wayne! Wow you really hit the nail squarely on the head! I have some really pretty highlighter and now I am going to approach it differently now. This was a VERY helpful video and thank you! The sweetest, most intelligent creator of makeup/skincare videos on YT.
So helpful! I never had a highlighter product until recently. I foolishly applied it to my c-zone on my 43 year old face and caught myself in the mirror later in terror! I will try the middle of the lids and top of my nose. Thanks for another great video!
Excellent advice! I am soo not a fan of glitter or shimmer, it is so difficult these days to find a good matte eyeshadow pallete that doesn't have an abundance of glitter. Thank you for another great installment.
Love this! Thanks Wayne! I would definitely be interested in continuing to watch your videos on make up for the over 40s, especially hooded eyes, crepey skin around the eyes, lip lines and disappearing lips for lipstick!
I'm 40 but I prefer a glass skin look which I just put a K-beauty toner after powder foundation. I do dab on a wet shimmer stick to get that 1930s wet eyelid look which is very flattering, even though I have hooded eyes. I go for a minimalist French/K-beauty look. I love the fashion/makeup for women in 90s thrillers or French films for inspiration, they look AMAZING.
I'm turning 60 this year. Believe me, there is next to NOTHING out there in terms of fashion and makeup for my age range. All the faces and bodies are teenagers and twenty-somethings with bare midriffs. Do a search for 60, and there is an endless array of videos and articles about WHAT YOU CAN'T WEAR, and nothing else!
*Thank heaven for Wayne Goss*
I come to this channel, and I don't feel invisible, I don't feel talked down to, I don't feel dismissed. Always good, solid advice.
You're the best! ❤

The end of the nose highlighting trend always made me laugh. 🤣
It’s looks like a lightbulb!
Same! Looks almost like a clown's red nose prop to me 🤡😄
Literally never done it!🤣
I totally agree. Looks like the Tin Man! 😂

Wayne-53 and so far no fillers…highlighting almost opposite the way I did 10 yrs ago…also using darker foundation and not so matte, not putting contour any further in than the edge of my eyes-this has helped me-we really DO need to change our habits after 50!!!
I remember you mentioned an Ellis Faas highlighter many many years ago and I still use that one to this day for the most etherial glow on mature skin. You always give the best tips I don't see on other channels and you have definitely changed my routine for the better. Thank you so much!
I’m 62 and I don’t use highlighter except lightly over top of blush. I never use a glittery one though as it doesn’t look good. Thanks for another great, informative video. God bless you!
I love this. I’m 30 but I have always had emphasized under eyes. Also, as I have fluctuated in weight and retain water due to blood pressure issues, I have to try to look at my face critically each time I do makeup. Thank you for this reminder to continue to do so ❤️
Thanks for the tips. While it seems logical that we evaluate our faces as they change, it's just too easy to keep applying makeup the way we always did. Loved the subject of the video as I recently turned 50 and can use all the pro-aging advice. Would've like a split screen, wrong vs right. Keep the mature beauty support coming!
Thank you! My mom has been getting into makeup lately and I'm finding that the same makeup that works for me as a 30 yr old than her as a 50yr old is not the same. This video was very helpful and I will experiment with a highlighter in different areas to see what works for her. Thank you!
I am turning 50 this year, and I cannot tell you how thankful I am for videos like this! So many are geared to young people without the issues of aging skin. So please keep up your brilliant videos, especially the ones for those of us who are “experienced.” 😊❤️
I don’t use highlight very often because it just doesn’t look good on me. My emphasis is to elongate my eyes & pull them up by concealing & drawing a thin wing & lots of mascara. I always contour/bronze & bcz I have lip filler, my lips look really nice w/a slight over-line & nude gloss. Oh I wear makeup - no doubt I just can’t go overboard anymore. I will admit, I do miss it sometimes but I’m pretty happy with things most of the time.
I've just turned 40 and this video was helpful. I struggle with make up as have rosacea.
SO much better when one side of the face wrong and one right, much easier to understand. When the whole face is done it's harder to remember what NOT to do. Thanks lovely boy.
I have always hated that tip of the nose highlighter dot. So glad you brought that up. Always good advice Wayne! Thanks!
I as well . It looks they snorted their eyeshadow
@@erismana2105 LOL
As someone who has watched and follow you since 28, I am 40 now and I really appriciate these tips. Thank you. ❤️
I really love this approach. I like that instead of saying after age 40 throw out all your shimmer, he instead, is placing a more gentle reminder that as we age our face changes and with those changes it is necessary to allow our makeup techniques to evolve as well
I'm 52, deep tan complexion and only recently started wearing makeup regularly - thank you Laura Geller and you Wayne. A while ago, I watched a video where to suggested that we not buy highlighter, but use something appropriate from any eyeshadow palettes we already own. So I had a look today and found something. Then I said, now let me go see where Wayne suggests I put said 'highlighter(eyeshadow). I love how straightforward your videos are. You are open, honest, and I truly appreciate you. You're my go to guru. ❤❤
Thank you for these aging skin videos! I'm 37 and noticed some years ago that I cannot apply makeup the same way I used to in my 20s and early 30s. It is so frustrating to tell someone what I know I need and have them tell me I don't have mature skin, and then continue applying my makeup like they would on 20 something skin. I'm getting married in a few months and the MUAs I've been to have convinced me to do my own makeup for my wedding. One used highlighter everywhere, both used an airbrush application which I hated and told them that I did, neither application matched my neck or chest and neither wanted to blend the makeup down onto my neck and chest... instead one wanted me to get a spray tan so that he makeup matched my skin better. It was dry and crepey, didn't hide my deep set under eye area at all, and there was way too much blush way high up on my cheekbones which doesn't look good on me. So I'm very appreciative for these videos.
Loving the realness and opening the convo on ageing🥰 personally, I've stopped using highlighter as I couldn't make it do "its thing" anymore. I concentrate on concealer, getting the skin texture filled in with serums, thin layers of foundation and baking power is my saviour, that stuff fills too without cracking! Obvs at night, I am using retinol, in day vitamin c serums and getting really good effect from a really ordinary No 7 factor 50 sunscreen, that actually fills pores, but that's not what it's sold as! I think trying to keep skin hydrated and supple is the best we can do if we can't afford surgeries, and take supplements 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Making sure I have false eyelashes on and good smudged eyeliner is also a godsend, my eyes are my feature even in ageing. They lift everything.
I love how you don't think any feature of the face or aging is unattractive, just something we deal with. Your tips are always logical and kind and I love it!
Thank you for helping us 40 + year olds :) I was never taught as a young woman & really value your help:)
You are just lovely ! I normally banish all make up videos from my feed because the ‘experts’ are mostly unrecognisable before/after. Each to their own but that’s not for me. You have such a lovely way of encouraging people to find beauty in themselves and make their best features work for them. You do it in a honest but still kind & gentle way. I love the little wave at the start of all your videos! Thank you for sharing your expertise & look forward to the next tutorial 😊
Thank you so much for your clear explanations and demos! Trying to figure out highlighting as I age was frustrating because sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. Now I get why. You keep me from giving up on the fun that is makeup.
Very informative video. Though I am tempted to highlight the “no no” areas of my face, you’ve convinced me less is more and finding “my” best areas. You’re adorable btw. Love your content 🙌
🤯 NEVER thought of the cheek bone accentuating sunken under eyes. THIS is why you're so needed!! Thank you!!!
Wayne I LOVE your videos! I'm 34 and even on me, the highlighting of the under eye cheek bone doesn't look good on me...I've learned it looks so much better on me on the outer cheek bones, like you mentioned. I live how all I can learn from all of your videos, even as a younger woman. Makes me not fear getting old!
Omgs you are already highlighted from the inside dear!! That's what truly shines on you! Make up is wonderful, along with all your amazing tips. Yet, nothing can touch the highlights of your naturally kind and beautiful soul you radiate!!
OMG “the way your face is progressing.” That is so cute.
Hi Wayne at 50 highlighter is something I use very sparingly tbh and opt for a pearlescent glow, rather than shimmer or OMG glitter lol. I still have a round face, but my jawline is softening even further and I didn't ever have a really defined jawline anyway. I put my highlight on the top of the cheekbone, but not too far in and I also keep my blush higher too. I sometimes layer the highlighter underneath the blush for a softer look too. I don't contour or use bronzer - I'm the palest of the pale Scottish skin and both look muddy or grey or even oh no orange. A gentle flush gives my face back enough colour to look healthy, but I never ever get a natural tan so bronzer always looks unnatural on me. I will put a little highlight above the brow (not too much wrinkling on the forehead as yet) and the cupid's bow, but not the nose. Shimmer eyeshadow is for the centre of the lid only, with a tiny bit in the inner corner - although I often use a matte white there. More mature people can wear highlighter, but I think we need less and only in very strategic areas. Best wishes.
That C is the bane of my highlighting existence. Thank you Wayne for this!
Hi Wayne, I work in a large skincare and cosmetic store as a host, I'm the oldest staff member by about 17 years and have only recently trained as a makeup artist at age 46. I love your videos and frequently recommend your channel to customers as there is so little information or inspiration available for mature women on social media. I have a real passion for makeup for mature skin and hope to start holding classes as I gain more knowledge and experience. Thanks so much for all you do and your willingness to share what you know. 😊
I would love to see your tutorials on older women. I am 68 years old and I am told that my skin is nice for my age. I am also a cosmetic junkie. I definitely do not want to look like a freak or a monster or a clown. But as someone said, there is really nothing out there for very mature women. I would love it and it would be so helpful if you had tutorials using older women as your model as opposed to a not quite middle aged, really good-looking man. I love your products and I love your tutorials. I would just like to see more with people like me. Thanks!
Thanks Wayne!
I'm 44 this month. Your tips (😁) and tricks are amazing for us regular folks.
That highlight on the tip of the nose reminded me so much of Mel T.! Not intentional, I'm sure, but it made me smile all the same. I'm 41 this year, and using balm/creme highlighters that are much more "glowy" than shimmery, but I have to admit it's been a struggle to find ones in any formulation (powder, liquid, etc.) that don't have chunks of glitter in them or emphasize natural skin texture. Thank you, as always, for your gentle advice, your warmth and humor.
My chin! I can't highlight it, because it's kinda got little dimples.
The tip of nose - I sure don't want to make it look even BIGGER!
I can apply a tiny bit of non-sparkly highlighter on the high point of my cheekbones.
I'd love to be able to "let rip and glow like a beacon" though, it must be wonderful.
Highlighting the bottom lip is a new one to me but I thought it looked so pretty 😍
Love you Mr Goss, 💗💗💗
Great message Wayne!!! I am still amazed when I see some of your old videos with your cheeks being so full and rounded. It is amazing how our faces change over time from our young adult years. At 52, I place highlighter on my cheek bone, inner eye and a thin line on the brow bone. I would never put it on the tip of my nose that I contour but some people on their videos place such a prominent harsh highlighter dot on the tip and it looks so unnatural and strange even as it's too much in the amount which is what I mainly see the younger ladies doing.
I love this! Thank you for the incredible advice, it’s helped me so much! It’s so much deeper than just the makeup it’s about self love and helping us embrace ourselves highlighting our best features. I have hooded eyes and I’m getting some lines on my cheeks so this is really helpful because sometimes I would do all this make up and then I feel like I look even worse. I’m 41 and I’ve been very sick so sometimes I feel like it’s affected my looks but these videos have helped me so much! ❤️❤️❤️
I just turned 40!! Great timing with helpful content. Thank you for sharing your skills and experience with us all here on TH-cam 😊
Yay! I love your videos! Thank you for sharing and teaching us all!
Hello! I hope you are having a wonderful day. I was busy in my sewing room all day sorting out scraps of fabric. I hope you have a joyful week ahead. Thank you for posting your video!
I'm 36 and I have seen the onset of this edging in, so I got into the harshest light possible and played about with just how unflattering it could get and how great it could get too. It was shocking but necessary for me and my makeup game has completely changed for the better 👍👍
Thank you Wayne! I’m 35, but I feel like your tips are super useful as I age. Love your content. ❤️
Wayne do not be hard on yourself!! You are so great and professional and your work is very useful. Aging is for everybody - we all have to deal with it!
I agree at 62 I highlight very sparingly but it looks so much better. For the exact reasons you stated.
I'm not sure what hole I've been living in, but I've never heard of you before. Your makeup techniques are lovely, and your voice is so soothing. Thank you for this video.
Yrs ago when I turned 65 I went &bought what I called the Kim Kit & highlighted as I see now my ok face into a Venetian mask-esp the deep lip on a white face&soon after saw your video on eyes&gave the pile of lovely shinys to my 8&10 yr old grand girls-it's near 10yrs later&your advice to look in the mirror 1st&once you finish&Your very very best=It's just makup❤
I’ve seen you around but have not, until tonight, clicked on one of your videos. I’m so glad I did. I think I thought I wouldn’t relate to you because you were male, but along with your excellent demonstrations and descriptions, I found it so much easier to see the effect you were verbally illustrating, because… 1) You have fair skin 2) You have real life wrinkles 3) You did an excellent job of explaining and demonstrating the technique.
I’m a newbie. Very helpful. Thank you for making this available.
I love how you are not embarrassed to get on here and show your flaws. Your the best teacher.
Ow my honey pie!! You “don’t have trouble zones” you’re so so cute! And im so happy with your honesty, makes me feel it’s confident to cover some “trouble zones” and don’t feel like a cheater! thank you! You’re beautiful! No matter your age! You will always be my inspiration !💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
Wayne, you are genius! I am over 50. Yesterday, I was thinking why do I have bags under my eyes where normally I don't. Watching this tutorial, I realized I had put highlighter there and it was emphasizing it. Won't do that again. Thank you, never stop teaching us please.
Another Wayne Goss video added to my makeup 2022 playlist. I’m 42 and looking to update my routine.✌🏾
Thanks, Wayne for the clear instruction on highlighting the mature face. At 62 I'm finding it challenging to keep a fresh and glowy look and so began using highlighter after watching some other makeup artists but wasn't happy with the results. Your video just showed me WHY it wasn't working. Now I'll try again with a lot more understanding of what will work for me.
This is one of the most helpful videos yet. I had no real idea about how to use highlighter for my specific features
Thanks for making this vid. I turned 61 this year and I realize I can't highlight like the youtubers. I discovered the best areas for my face to highlight are exactly as you described. Good to know I'm on the right track! Thank u Wayne! 💕❣💕
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder .. I think you’re looking even more handsome than ever ! But guess we’re all our own worse critics . I’m 60 , feel invisible but taking on board all the wonderful advice you give 💙😘
I see other women with waayy too much highlighter on, and hoping they see your video. 😊 I’m a a certain age 🤣 where I can only wear a touch of it, and that’s over my blush, which I keep up higher on my cheeks, otherwise, it’ll show texture. I found a highlighter that isn’t sparkly, and has no color, just looks dewy when light hits it. The eyes are a real challenge, hooded, and small. I envy the women who have room to be creative with their eye shadow, but we just have to work with what we’ve got ! 😉 You’re looking good, as always, and thanks for
the info ! Have a nice weekend ! 🦋🌞🌸
Hi Debbie how're you doing today?
I love highlighter and now I know where I should be using it.. thank you so much 😊
These are great tips and I agree with you! I’ve been applying highlighter only in the areas that you are recommending since I was in my early 20s, and now 10 years later, it still looks great and natural. I never cared for the dramatic highlight or any type of contouring. Always love your videos! Thank you 😊
Not 40 yet but I'm collecting these tips, everyone at any age should be able to wear whatever they wish and feel beautiful, much love Wayne for showing us all these really helpful tips
I'm 42 and I love highlighter. It's one of my favorite makeup products and I have so many of them. As you can see in my picture I have too much highlighter on 😂 Anastasia makes some of my faves and I loved Becca. ✨
Thank You this was wonderful and helps us so very much.
"...You want to avoid any areas that are heavily lined, or have excess texture...." You just described pretty much everything but my eyeballs. :-(
Wayne Goss you are Fabulous!!! Your 13 points, I think it was for applying foundation has totally changed my game and my makeup looks so very much better! Also your tip for applying concealer is the best way I have ever tried on my 60ish year old skin! Your tips are invaluable!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!
I try and avoid taking a critical look at my face as much as possible!! This is a really useful video, im 58 and find i use less and less highlighter, and shimmer eyeshadows now, i tend to use more matt shadows, and have a matt bronzer that I've been using a lot, its good for doubling as eyeshadow, & blusher day to day. Your tips on where you can use highlighter are really helpful! Wouldnt have though of above the brow bone! Great video, as always! Thank you!
Thanks for another helpful video, Wayne. As a bona fide baby boomer-- I love how you say "progressing"... And , of course, we all love you! 💜
Yes! My fat pads have dropped and there’s just loose skin due to weight loss! So not just aging......lucky me! Fantastic video to remind us to look at our own face shape when contouring and highlighting. You mentioned fixing the dropped fat pads with concealer - I would love to see you demonstrate that technique! Thank you so much! Just received your face palette and blush palette and am enjoying them so very much! 💖
I love your videos💜
Wayne, you’re so good at knowing how to make-up your own face that I’ve wondered if you wear make-up on a daily basis. Thanks for being so sweet and informative. Love your videos.
Really love it when you demonstrate on each half of your face what not to do and what to do as you did in your previous concealer video. Thank you for all of your advice, hugs!
Makes complete sense as I now see why highlight an area of the face that’s not my best part . Definitely I stay away from any high lighter near my chin area because it seems the skin there as we age starts to sag and definitely would love a video on actually concealing that type of problem without an actual procedure, example being the jaw and chin areas where we see that aging skin start to sag. Love to learn a way to kinda conceal that area
Yes! And due to pores on my forehead - no highlight there for me. Love you!
Yes! 👏🏻👏🏻 I’ll never understand why people highlight their nose. I want my nose minimized.
Wayne! Wow you really hit the nail squarely on the head! I have some really pretty highlighter and now I am going to approach it differently now. This was a VERY helpful video and thank you! The sweetest, most intelligent creator of makeup/skincare videos on YT.
So helpful! I never had a highlighter product until recently. I foolishly applied it to my c-zone on my 43 year old face and caught myself in the mirror later in terror! I will try the middle of the lids and top of my nose. Thanks for another great video!
I'm going to apply this technique on my Mom. thank you Wayne Goss!
Great tips, thankyou. Never really thought that it would highlight your problem areas. It is hard getting older and trying to look your best x
What a great set of tips! Inspired mr to try a couple of finger-tip size highlight spots. Very pretty without looking overdone. Thank you!
Great information ! I'm 56, and use highlighter with NO glitter, just shimmer. It makes a difference!
Excellent advice! I am soo not a fan of glitter or shimmer, it is so difficult these days to find a good matte eyeshadow pallete that doesn't have an abundance of glitter. Thank you for another great installment.
I’m 45 and definitely can’t highlight all over! Thanks for the informative video! You’re the best! Xx
I've been afraid of highlighter for this very reason. Your videos are always so helpful.
Love this! Thanks Wayne! I would definitely be interested in continuing to watch your videos on make up for the over 40s, especially hooded eyes, crepey skin around the eyes, lip lines and disappearing lips for lipstick!
I definitely do a little highlight on top of my cheek bones not too far forward and I use a more subtle highlighter instead of a blinding shine effect
I'm 40 but I prefer a glass skin look which I just put a K-beauty toner after powder foundation. I do dab on a wet shimmer stick to get that 1930s wet eyelid look which is very flattering, even though I have hooded eyes. I go for a minimalist French/K-beauty look. I love the fashion/makeup for women in 90s thrillers or French films for inspiration, they look AMAZING.
i thank the makeup gods you are to the point, keep it short, informative and real! thank you!!!!
