    I never make comment, but I'd like to tell you that you are helping a lot of people with more than makeup. I like having a window into a very different life than my own. Your presentation style feels very real, and your anecdotes are interesting. All I can say is its been a damn hard couple of years, and you are still putting yourself out there. Its inspirational.

I’m 77 years old and would like nothing more than have you do my make up, but I live in the desert if Arizona and you live in the beautiful state of Florida.

      I just started watching you here & there, but now am subscribed. Watching you w/your BEAUTIFUL Mom was touching as I lost my BEAUTIFUL MOTHER & BESTFRIEND 😢 in this world. Thank you for that segment. I do have a question. I've been crying for many yrs now & then losing my Mom broke me. I cry on a daily basis & I am now as I write this to you. From all the crying, I've developed frown lines & heard on the show " The Talk" that there is nothing you can do for that. I've tried mouth exercises that I saw on here, but to no avail. Is there anything I can do about this as it is embarrassing! Thank you for all that you do & your self confidence is inspirational. ❤❤❤
      Sincerely, Deborah

She has many great tips and I am going to buy the wet and wild make up and concealer tomorrow. She is a very nice and sincere lady and mindful of us older gals, shows both budget and more expensive make up plus very honest. April

    I am happy that you did not take down your "I can't do this anymore" video. I just watched it. Preach it, sister! Our external world many times pulls us in so many different directions that it begins to fragment our inner selves. It is NOT healthy for mind or soul. I am 67, happily retired (thank God), and I now see clearly how terribly our multi-tasking habits affect us. Your posts help me escape the news, all "the sky is falling" stories, the "watch out for... (insert noun or verb here...) " screaming that the media throws at us. I enjoy feeling pretty, playing with makeup and skin care, and imagining the perfect wardrobe. Your content soothes me. AND I try like mad to avoid multi-tasking. One thing at a time is fine for me! Keep going, Nikol, and do what brings you happiness. Cast everything else into the trash.

    Nikol, I did not get an opportunity to respond to your video last week about not being able to continue at a frenetic pace, but I have thought about that topic, as well as some of your other recent VLOGS where you discuss your intentions for this channel, for the past week and wanted to say thank you for posting (and for not taking it/them down!). In addition to the makeup tutorials in your content, I really enjoy your commentary about keeping it real, talking about things that no one else discusses, and your words of encouragement for women to be their authentic selves, however imperfect. Thank you for not being afraid to expose your vunerability, for showing us your moments of frustration, and for being philosophical about your approach to beauty and to life. I can't say enough about how much I thoroughly enjoy your channel - it is about so much more than getting a beauty tutorial, and I always feel uplifted and as though I have spent a few minutes chatting with a friend after I watch your videos. I am a 52 year old professional woman (who also happens to live in Florida) who has spent the past 2 years trying to redefine myself after losing an executive level position early in the pandemic. I realized that my identity was too closely connected to my career, and after losing my job I no longer felt powerful, relevant, beautiful, or empowered, even though I have always prided myself as someone who is keenly aware of claiming my power. I have recently started my own grey hair journey, and am really dedicating myself to living authentically, living a more balanced life, "taking out the noise" (as you stated in this video), and exploring who I am at this stage of my life (and who I want to become). I just want you to know that your work in making women feel empowered and beautiful is very much recognized, heard, and appreciated! Watching your channel has been very energizing, therapeutic, and enjoyable for me, and I look forward to your videos every week! Having said that, I also want to have the presense of mind to say that I do not want you to feel pressured into having to create constant content, as I think your audience appreciates that you require down time and balance, as we all do! Thank you for the richness of this channel - it is so far and above anything else that I have seen out there! Best, Elizabeth

  • @stellayates4227

    I think the real test to a foundation is how it looks after hours of wear. To date I have found that expensive foundations last better and will look good hours later and not separate and sit in facial creases. So a comparison of how a foundation wears through the day is useful.

    • @lynnemann355
      @lynnemann355 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I seldom wear makeup during the day unless I go out. I don't like makeup and especially foundation. Many times I put a serum on, give it time to settle and use my concealer lightly. I use a cream blush and that's it. The older I get the less I use. I have used Clinique all my life but lately I have used concealer. Next time I go to Walmart, I am going to try Wet n Wild. I love clinique but it feels too thick even over a serum now. Hope this helps.

      This product wets the lashes taking ALL the curl out. If they could only come out with this in waterproof!!!!!! i have stick-straight lashes and they point straight down!!! maddening, so since 16 years of age, I must curl my lashes by heating my curler with my blow dryer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And... can ONLY wear waterproof mascaras which will keep them curled for possibly 6 hours! tried heated curling wands but don't work on my down-turned stick-straight lashes!!!!! never once worked. so I hate taking my mascara off in the evenings! i sit with two saturated remover ovals on my eyes for 5 minutes and then must work another 10 minutes to remove every lash! because I also have to wear a lash serum on a very well-cleansed face and eyes, before applying this serum for growth. never have my skinny thin lashes thickened but at least they are much longer! any suggestions welcome!

      Boy can I relate Danna !! 70 yo 'makeup always' girl here, & have been thru All of that frustration aa well.
      But, I Finally found a solution to my thin, straight lashes: 1)curl like crazy (Shu curler),
      2) then use MAC Extended Play Perm Me Up mascara (winner because it works, lifts and lasts but is not waterproof !) 3) and when 2 coats (if necessary) of that are done, 4) finish with a light coat of NYX Control Freak 'eyebrow' gel. I use that for lashes And brows, like safe shellac 😆. I take off the whole works at night easily with cotton round generously soaked in Neutrogena oil free eye makeup remover for 5-10 seconds. Then I use Clinique Take The Day Off Balm on whole face & smooth over eyes as well. Rinse off everything & voila !.
      The eye process takes only a few minutes is gentle & no more rubbing, tugging and losing lashes ! Good luck !

Love this comparison and they way you offer alternatives. Not everyone can afford the $150 for Channel but now at $5.49 you can get an excellent result that is affordable to most budgets.

Ever tempted by the expensive products, probably because of price, I’ve avoided a drawer full of expensive foundations.

      I dismissed that at first, but the years after 49 revealed how accurate it is! When hit flashes end, it is all happy sailing from there. Life becomes easier, as we are wiser. I dreaded aging after 29....little did I know how liberating these later years are! I assured my granbabies to never fear getting older. For me, despite some very challenging circumstances, life has never been more satisfying! I am no longer struggling as a single Mom....on an adrenaline race 20hrs per every 24.

    Niko, after watching this video I went to my local Walmart and purchase the Wet & Wild Photofcus foundation and I love it. It is moist and it looks like my skin not like I have foundation on. Thank you so much for sharing. I cannot afford expensive makeup and do so appreciate you for sharing this. God bless and stay strong.

    Really appreciate a review on drugstore foundation. While I may like the appearance of high end products, many of us can’t afford the price. It’s nice that someone you trust gives you an affordable option.

  • @PigeoneerToy
    @PigeoneerToy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    The Wet n Wild looks glorious! 😍 I know brands like Chanel cannot lower their prices bc they have to keep up with their image, but in so many cases things aren't worth the price tag and this is one of those. I'm not saying Chanel is bad, I'm saying it doesn't match the price tag and it becomes so obvious with this side to side comparison. The Wet n Wild photo focus original formula, the matte one, isn't drying. You'd probably like it too, especially for the summer or when you're wearing a mask.

    Nikol, I love all your videos. They are so informative and relaxing for me to watch at night. I tell all my friends in my 70+ group! I liked what you said about velcro rollers. I like to use them on the days I don't wash my hair. Just pop them on before your shower and the steam sets your hair so it looks great when you're done with your makeup and pull them out. Lots of volume and no 'dirty hair' look! PS...love the videos with your pretty mom too!

  • @mommared4456
    @mommared4456 2 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    The photo focus has one of the best coverages as far as any foundation. Beautiful coverage, not to dewy not to matte. All day coverage. I do like it, however it has such a strong funky oder and if I have a busy few days where I need to wear a full face, I have noticed that it does mildly break me out. It’s not everyday go to, but a night out for a few hours then a face scrub. It is my grab. I do get compliments on my skin the nights I do wear it.

    • @lesliedelmonico4730
      @lesliedelmonico4730 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I purchased the W&W when first out, because everyone raved. I felt the same as you-loved the product but it smelled like something I’d prep the walls with before painting-seriously awful, and I don’t even mind scented products! So, returned it (BTW, did you know Walgreens will let you return opened makeup, no questions asked with your receipt?) which made me sad. So..... I wonder if they “fixed” the smell? Now I want to try it again!

    • @bingo7829
      @bingo7829 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The original wet and wild with the more natural finish had a bad paint thinner smell but the newer dewy one isn’t as bad. I mix the two foundations together for a little more coverage and it seems to last longer in this warmer weather.

  • @barbaraknowles8615
    @barbaraknowles8615 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Love watching and the makeup tips are so helpful. I'm older now but get compliments often when I put a little more effort into my makeup. I don't generally watch other makeup channels but the ones I have seen go to ridiculous layers upon layers of makeup that end up looking like masks. Who wants that?

  • @janicepalesch9221
    @janicepalesch9221 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nikol, I only very recently discovered your videos, so I didn't see the video you referenced in this one. Nevertheless, I think I got the gist of it, and I want to say that you are not alone. A great many of us have felt overwhelmed, overworked, and stressed to the max. If we are honest with ourselves, I will be that every single one of us has said out loud (or even silently), "I just can't go one more step. I'm done." I do not believe that we would be human if we didn't reach that point at multiple times throughout our lives. Thank goodness for your honesty about this! It is liberating. I will bet that you have enabled many women to admit that, sometimes, we all need a break from our lives - and to feel OKAY about those emotions.
    The last thing REAL women need is to see and hear about the "perfect " lives of other women when we struggle with many different issues and feelings. Life is hard. It isn't perfect for anyone; TV and the celebrity magazines only make it seem so. Then, we feel less than in comparison. Because you don't do that, you are relatable.
    You come on wearing no makeup and show us how we can improve our appearance within the privacy of our own home. We can slightly modify our look - or we can dare valiantly. Because of what you give to others, I'm open to doing all of that. That is your gift, and I believe that it is also your purpose. We all need purpose. Yours is in making the lives of women you don't know and will likely never meet fresher, better, renewed. Thank you for sharing yourself and your skills with the rest of us. Yours is a gift of magic for more lives than you can imagine.

    Thank you for doing this comparison!! I know now I'm not crazy as I bought 2 Chanel foundations 6 months ago to help me out of a huge grief situation. Then I started YT videos- lol. Bought the W&W and was amazed even though I didnt get the exact color. TY for explaining you can mix colors🤣. The one perk to Dept store makeup counter is that there is a commissioned sales associate to color match you....but for the 115 vs 6 dollars I spent...well ,enough said. Gas is $6 a gal and rent went up 8% this month.... But my High Low makeup collection just keeps growing. Youre the best😘

So my face and body look awful from the weight loss. I was thinking that maybe you could do a segment on finding out whether you a re cool,neutral or warm. I know the vein trick, but I can't tell. You also mentioned knowing your shades, etc. i think I'm a neutral and a summet person. I have blone/silver hair and I love boho styles. I live your style, but I have never been the elegant type. I am thinking of trying out some of your looks because you look fabulous. I have done some of your beauty hacks and they work! You are presenting me with lots of options. Thank you.
