Happy Independence Melissa I swear I think you're the only woman on TH-cam that ages backwards💯 even though you must not feel well you always look just gorgeous💯 Thank you for doing that elf I think we were all wondering if it was any good it looked beautiful on you but then everything looks beautiful on you God bless you and your family Hope you have a relaxing day❤❤❤
I am 56 and I use my clean fingers to spread my foundation. I have tried all the foundation brushes, sponges, etc. and always go back to using my fingers. :)
Hey Melissa, I was looking for reviews on the foundation and you popped up! I clicked immediately because I know I can always trust your reviews and opinions on products. Thank you and have a blessed day my friend.
Yes, and my favorite concealer and has been since it first came out is the Camo concealer. I would put that up against any high end one. It beats the heck out of Charlotte Tilbury! Take care and thank you!
🌹What beautiful coverage, Melissa, I enjoy most self products and for the price I can try this one for sure. Thank you for spreading so much sunlight. I hope you and Doug and Oliver and all friends watching have a wonderful 4th of July! From Michigan tonight, my best to all ❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
Melissa, I know I've said this before, but I think you are one of, if not the, most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Your spirit , loving nature and zest for life are just the icing on top.
Yes, I saw it all over the place too and decided to try it. It didn't work for me, I'm 67. My skin is normal and in good condition. I'm glad it works for some.
You look great! I'm 72 and just started using this foundation, I've been using their primer first maybe I shouldn't, then their powder, maybe I shouldn't, I've got lines though, I may try it without primer & powder tomorrow, it's the best foundation I've ever used so far. Great work... 👍🏼❤ From UK
I’m a bit late to the elf soft glam foundation but your video is the BEST on TH-cam! Absolutely gorgeous thank you Melissa and prayers for your complete recovery💕🙏🏼
I use elf foundation and concealer. I will try the soft glam. I don’t use powder either. For some reason, I think my makeup looks better after it’s been on for a while anyway. Gorgeous look Melissa!
It’s just a habit with me but I always put the lid shadow on first . Must be how I learned it many many years ago . Also , dropping the jaw ! We must have both read the same magazine !!
Hi Melissa, I love it, but light-med coverage is my sweet spot. Gonna watch your Amazon haul now. I just love your personality. Have a wonderful holiday. And remember not to say eyeball. 😂😂😂 So cute. When my daughter was little I was doing her nails, and she got this serious look on her 4 year old face and said, “Well, I guess you’d better push back my barnacles, too.” Hahaha
Your makeup is just lovely. That foundation is very pretty on your skin. I don’t use liquid foundation. I like powder foundation. When I use liquid foundation I also use my fingers. It feels awkward using a brush or sponge. Loved the eye makeup also. You look so glamorous with your gorgeous hair & makeup. Love you, Lucy
Loved this soft glam look. I’m shade 25 in the Elf as well…so happy we are shade twins! I must try the NARS! And yes, you are absolutely awesome. I love inspiring makeup names. Hope you have a lovely holiday! ❤
Oh, Melissa, I had vasculitis on my legs last summer. It was scary. I hope you feel better and it doesn't happen again. I just tried the elf this morning. It is wonderful. It's the first drugstore foundation that I have liked. I normally wear Estee Lauder. You are always in my prayers ❤
Did yours ever come back Diane? It did scare me. I had a lot of those spots. And my calves just ached, like I had shin splints or something. Did they ever figure out what caused yours? My very best to you.
Beautiful colors! I wish I could wear warm tones, but I just look awful. I wanted the Modern Renaissance palette years ago, but I couldn’t justify buying those tones😅 Seventeen Magazine was my favorite!
Vasculitis, as if you don't have enough on your plate. I'm glad it resolved and hopefully it doesn't interfere with your chemo drug. The Soft Glam palette is one of my favorites for sure. I like the look you created. I've been trying to work through some foundations and use them up before I buy any new ones. I hope you and Doug have a wonderful 4th of July.
I ordered the #25 and it matches my skin perfectly and I love the $8 price tag! I’m gonna put it on one side of my face and my usual Clinique foundation on the other, just as a comparison.
Greetings Melissa! Well I am happy to hear that you are healing from the vasculitis. I will continue to keep you in prayer! That soft glam look is very pretty on you. I might try the ELF foundation. Love and blessings ♥️🙏
You look beautiful. I want to try the elf also. Thank you for doing a video on it. I’m 64, and I have tried the brushes and sponges, I don’t like them. I always go right back to putting my makeup on with my fingers.
This was lots of fun, Melissa! I love trying new foundations!!! You looked beautiful in the pre-final look and the after!!! I bought the elf foundation and found it a little patchy. I had a hard time blending it....but wow, that is a lovely satin sheen it has! I love the Tier Tier Foundation as of late to film in...but if there is a new foundation I love to give it a go. I have not tried your favorite NARS and it's about time I did! Much love to you and thank you for your fun informative lovely videos!! xo Susan & Dez
It looked really good on you! Not as good as the Nars, but close. I have never found a drugstore foundation that worked for me....I have tried some but I always go back to my tried and true. It depends what foundation I am using but I like the fingers too. It must be something about mature ladies....back in the day it was hard to find brushes and sponges! Thank you for sharing and sending love and hugs!!
Happy 4th of July, Melissa. The foundation looks great on you. I don't use primer, or powder either. Until the last couple of years I only used my fingers to apply foundation. Now I like to use a brush, but not a sponge. You look gorgeous, my friend. Blessings, and much love..MaryEllen
Hi. Melissa. How beautiful you look. Your makeup is simply gorgeous. I can never get a good foundation look. It just always seems to separate on my face. It never used to do this. I might try this one as a last resort.thank you for showing us. Xxx
Happy 4th of July, Melissa! I really enjoyed visiting with you today. The Elf look is beautiful on you! I loved how you did your eyes! I hope you are having a beautiful day! Love and hugs, Jeanie xxx
Greetings from Atlanta! My e.l.f. order will arrive tomorrow and like you, I’m anxious to try it! The product looked lovely on you. And yes, I would love for you to do a comparison with the Catrice serum foundation. Have a safe 4th. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Melissa, I must try that foundation. I am always surprised at how good some of the Elf products are. I also apply my foundation with my fingers. That is the way I have always done it. So much easier for me. Have a wonderful 4th. Love you! Connie
So pretty...all of it. Thank you for being and inpiration to us 50+ gals. May I ask who makes/where you bought that beautiful top?. It really brings out your eyes. 💙
Melissa you look phenomenal! Absolutely beautiful! I would NEVER guess you're 69! You look much much MUCH younger! I love you and your channel! I'm not sure where you're from, but I love the accent too! 😘🤗😍
MY GOODNESS , hi Melissa, Melanie here, I can listen 2u speak ALL. DAY😅 ur vioce, ur warm personality, and that accent 😮oh boy , and that's only the beginning of ur beautiful self. I 2 am 69, love playing with makeup, and i do like the Elf Glam foundation, like you not as much as my Lancome Renergie Lift makeup or my Laura Geller Balance & Glow. Have u tried either of the 2 ? I Sill work at ULTA , after retirement from a Beauty College Principal from Hawaii who also tought Esthetics. Stay beautiful inside and out as you are ❤elanie
It's the 4th today -hope your having a good one!!! I liked the foundation on you and the color match with the eye look is very nice. Your hair is amazing - just beautiful overall my sweet friend!! I enjoyed this video a lot - thanks for sharing!!!! xoxo Deb :-)
Morning ❤Melissa, what’s occurring!! Found your channel fairly recently and have spent a lot of time catching up, you look really lovely and are a pleasure to watch thank you for your videos. Wet day in England very strange weather this year, still out walking dog along the beach. I’m older than you but continue to be very interested in make up clothes etc. funny about the eyeball ditty I think I agree with her, love and kisses xx
Hi Melissa Happy Fourth of July 🇺🇸!! How do you keep your Victoria Beckham liner smooth? After sharpening mine it is rough. I love it , because it is creamy. Just wondered if you had some tip? Thank you for sharing. Love the look you created
Thank you for sharing your opinion of the elf soft glam! I purchased it a few days ago and the color match on elf’s website is my perfect color. they match to the foundation + color that one currently uses! I Like you, I don’t use a primer and/or setting spray, but I do use a moisturizer. Unfortunately, the soft glam pilled even after allowing time for my moisturizer to soak in😩 once I got all that pilling wiped off, I had to apply more for coverage in my red areas and it looked beautiful! I want to continue using it, but at 56 years old, I’m not willing to give up my cerave moisturizer 🤔… Does anyone know if applying with a brush would prevent pilling? I’m a finger foundation girl, too!!
Hi Melissa, Happy Independence 4th of July. I hope that you have a great weekend with family. You always look beautiful. The foundation is getting so much hype on social media but nothing beats NARS. I love the Glam Palette, so easy to work with. Prayers for good health and no further complication with your medications.🎆🎆🎆🎉🎉🎉
Watching your video for the first time, I was shocked to learn your age!!! I’m not too much older than you, but I swear you could easily pass as my daughter!!! I definitely need to keep watching your videos, especially with regard to your skincare!!! Would you please also share your vitamins regimen with us? Thanks again for this video! Hope you and your family are having a wonderful July 4th weekend‼️
Hi Melissa I couldn't see how u tightlined your top lid...its beautiful look...can u please tell me if you tight line under top lash line...or you kinda do it through the top lashes like running the pencil on top and throughout the lash line....Im trying to master this....yours look great!!
I sent a comment but not sure it went through. Only to say that coverage looks good but I seriously wonder if we shall find an equal to our original Nars. Thank you for testing all these foundations for us. ❤
Hi Melissa happy 4th July. I like applying my foundation with fingers too, but I will go over with a brush or sponge if I think I need to (sometimes I can apply too much or it needs buffed in depending on the product). I think you can press foundation into the skin better with fingers and also warm it up. Many famous makeup artists used their fingers for complexion (including Lisa Eldridge) for many years. I thought it looked nice on you and I am glad you got a good shade match. In the pale shades it’s really yellow so I don’t think it would be for me (I am ultra cool toned). Best wishes x
I ordered it and will get it Sunday - anxious to see what the hype is all about - I have dry skin tho. Dealing with clean up from a 78mph wind storm last week that took down trees all over town - finally getting someone out to help me with it. What a mess - winds are as destructive as tornadoes, only they cover more area. And just had cataract surgery the day of the storm so I've got a lot of work to do outside now that I got the go-ahead. Hope you are feeling better - beautiful look - nice glow!
Oh my gosh, I am so very sorry. Wind is so scary. You just don't know what kind of damage it can do. I send you my best and please take care and don't over do it. Much love, Melissa

Not sure how you manage to look so beautiful and fresh with all the turmoil you are going through?! You are a true warrior!
I agree! Not only physically but also vibrant and full of vitality in action and demeanour. So inspirational 🤩
Wayne Goss gave a shoutout to you. Gorgeous, as usual! ❤
I am 56 and I use my clean fingers to spread my foundation. I have tried all the foundation brushes, sponges, etc. and always go back to using my fingers. :)
Me too. I'm 61.done this since my 20s
I love that you show your make-up free skin! It is beautiful and inspiring! I fear aging way less because of you, thank you Melissa
This! Melissa is the real deal.
That mint green top or light aqua is YOUR color! Amazing on you!
Fingers 4 me too. Back in rhe day we didn't have sponges or brushes to apply foundation with. So I've ne wr been a fan of them I'm 64!
Prettier every single video! There’s still no one I’d rather watch, such a gorgeous look, Melissa! Happy Independence Day!
Hey Melissa, I was looking for reviews on the foundation and you popped up! I clicked immediately because I know I can always trust your reviews and opinions on products. Thank you and have a blessed day my friend.
That foundation was so soft and fresh looking. I think you have a winner for everyday use! Hugs judy
Hi Melissa, the foundation looks great on you! You are right! It is a good match! Everything came together so well! Love it!
Loved the grwm. Im buying more and more Elf these days. Seems like their quality is good and reasonably priced. ❤❤❤😊
Yes, and my favorite concealer and has been since it first came out is the Camo concealer. I would put that up against any high end one. It beats the heck out of Charlotte Tilbury! Take care and thank you!

I’m a bit late to the elf soft glam foundation but your video is the BEST on TH-cam! Absolutely gorgeous thank you Melissa and prayers for your complete recovery💕🙏🏼
You're a joy. I hope you feel better!!!
That's so funny! Sorry UK. They all know you always mean well. Happy 4th🎉

Stay as you are Melissa. We should be grateful that we are getting older. You are a inspiration. Xx
Good job Melissa.., was curious about the Elf too... your excitement is contagious!
Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸
Thank you for posting! You are gorgeous, I'm a big fan of your eye makeup, and the foundation looks lovely
Loved this soft glam look. I’m shade 25 in the Elf as well…so happy we are shade twins! I must try the NARS! And yes, you are absolutely awesome. I love inspiring makeup names. Hope you have a lovely holiday! ❤
Oh, Melissa, I had vasculitis on my legs last summer. It was scary. I hope you feel better and it doesn't happen again. I just tried the elf this morning. It is wonderful. It's the first drugstore foundation that I have liked. I normally wear Estee Lauder. You are always in my prayers ❤
Did yours ever come back Diane? It did scare me. I had a lot of those spots. And my calves just ached, like I had shin splints or something. Did they ever figure out what caused yours? My very best to you.
@Melissa55 it didn't come back. They ran all kinds of blood work. They sent me for a CT scan with contrast. I pray yours doesn't come back.
Beautiful colors! I wish I could wear warm tones, but I just look awful. I wanted the Modern Renaissance palette years ago, but I couldn’t justify buying those tones😅 Seventeen Magazine was my favorite!
Vasculitis, as if you don't have enough on your plate. I'm glad it resolved and hopefully it doesn't interfere with your chemo drug. The Soft Glam palette is one of my favorites for sure.

Your eyes are beautiful! I love that eyeshadow palette and have used mine for 2 years.
Your skin is beautiful so you have a great canvass to work on.
Greetings Melissa! Well I am happy to hear that you are healing from the vasculitis. I will continue to keep you in prayer! That soft glam look is very pretty on you. I might try the ELF foundation. Love and blessings ♥️🙏
You look beautiful. I want to try the elf also. Thank you for doing a video on it. I’m 64, and I have tried the brushes and sponges, I don’t like them. I always go right back to putting my makeup on with my fingers.
This is my go-to eyeshadow palette. So many beautiful options! This foundation looks fantastic on your skin! ❤

Such a pretty foundation! It looks beautiful on you!🥰 Have a great weekend! Much love, Deb x💕💕💕💕💕
How did you manage to find your perfect foundation match while shopping online?
Happy 4th of July, Melissa. The foundation looks great on you. I don't use primer, or powder either. Until the last couple of years I only used my fingers to apply foundation. Now I like to use a brush, but not a sponge. You look gorgeous, my friend. Blessings, and much love..MaryEllen
Hi. Melissa. How beautiful you look. Your makeup is simply gorgeous. I can never get a good foundation look. It just always seems to separate on my face. It never used to do this. I might try this one as a last resort.thank you for showing us. Xxx
Can you show us how you got this hair style today ??…. Gorgeous!!❤❤ love!!!!
Happy 4th of July, Melissa! I really enjoyed visiting with you today. The Elf look is beautiful on you! I loved how you did your eyes! I hope you are having a beautiful day! Love and hugs, Jeanie xxx
Greetings from Atlanta! My e.l.f. order will arrive tomorrow and like you, I’m anxious to try it! The product looked lovely on you. And yes, I would love for you to do a comparison with the Catrice serum foundation. Have a safe 4th. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hi beautiful. I will try this out later. I’m trying to use some I have up. I’m kind of on a no buy. Xoxo 😘
Fingers are best! Tried sponges and brushed, but the fingers are the way to go!
You are so beautiful at 69! No wrinkles!! How do you manage? Is this the work of Obagi?
I admire you, strong woman!!! Take care.
Melissa, I must try that foundation. I am always surprised at how good some of the Elf products are. I also apply my foundation with my fingers. That is the way I have always done it. So much easier for me. Have a wonderful 4th. Love you! Connie
Lovely, sweet Melissa!!!🩷💐
So pretty...all of it. Thank you for being and inpiration to us 50+ gals.
May I ask who makes/where you bought that beautiful top?. It really brings out your eyes. 💙
I tried the Elf foundation and love it. Thanks!
Melissa, You are awesome..gorgeous look..your eyes look aqua and match your pretty top💚💜
Melissa you look phenomenal! Absolutely beautiful! I would NEVER guess you're 69! You look much much MUCH younger! I love you and your channel! I'm not sure where you're from, but I love the accent too! 😘🤗😍
Stunner!!!

Happy 4 th July. ❤❤ love that blue top so cute . I bought some elf too, I love the pressed powder in light medium to rake with me when am out. ❤❤❤❤
Please give us an update on NARS and the new formulation. I am using it now and really love NARS.
I prefer applying my foundation with my fingers too :).
Me too. You can just feel it better or something.
Morning ❤Melissa, what’s occurring!! Found your channel fairly recently and have spent a lot of time catching up, you look really lovely and are a pleasure to watch thank you for your videos. Wet day in England very strange weather this year, still out walking dog along the beach. I’m older than you but continue to be very interested in make up clothes etc. funny about the eyeball ditty I think I agree with her, love and kisses xx
Mellisa your gorgeous and I do like that makeup on you😊
Okay, now I have to try that Elf foundation! Looks great on camera. Happy July 4th, Melissa!🎆🇺🇸⭐️
Hi Melissa 👋☺️
You look gorgeous 🥰
Sending prayers and hugs 🤗❤️😘
Just watched Patty Rockstar Mom review this foundation and she !moves it! I need to try it...
great video, beautiful as always!!! love the elf foundation. thanks for sharing.
Such pretty look on you!
Hi Melissa
Happy Fourth of July 🇺🇸!!
How do you keep your Victoria Beckham liner smooth? After sharpening mine it is rough. I love it , because it is creamy. Just wondered if you had some tip? Thank you for sharing. Love the look you created
I love your tutorials Melissa 🥰❤
I'm 60 and I'm enjoying Makeup Revolution Skin Silk foundation ❤
You look beautiful!! I have bought the new elf foundation but not tried it yet.
Thank you for sharing your opinion of the elf soft glam! I purchased it a few days ago and the color match on elf’s website is my perfect color. they match to the foundation + color that one currently uses! I
Like you, I don’t use a primer and/or setting spray, but I do use a moisturizer. Unfortunately, the soft glam pilled even after allowing time for my moisturizer to soak in😩 once I got all that pilling wiped off, I had to apply more for coverage in my red areas and it looked beautiful! I want to continue using it, but at 56 years old, I’m not willing to give up my cerave moisturizer 🤔…
Does anyone know if applying with a brush would prevent pilling? I’m a finger foundation girl, too!!
Hi Melissa, Happy Independence 4th of July. I hope that you have a great weekend with family. You always look beautiful. The foundation is getting so much hype on social media but nothing beats NARS. I love the Glam Palette, so easy to work with. Prayers for good health and no further complication with your medications.🎆🎆🎆🎉🎉🎉
You are beautiful and so friendly with your videos.
You look so beautiful Melissa. This is a very nice foundation. And you are “Awesome” . Happy July 4th, sending hugs 💕💕
Thanks for sharing your review. It looks great.
I appreciate you !
Thank you for this video! I've been trying to find a new foundation. I ordered it along with the Milani lipstick. 😊💕
Thank you Melissa. Beautiful as always
You are always a breath of sunshine! I truly enjoy your content. Have great 4th of July,
Watching your video for the first time, I was shocked to learn your age!!! I’m not too much older than you, but I swear you could easily pass as my daughter!!! I definitely need to keep watching your videos, especially with regard to your skincare!!! Would you please also share your vitamins regimen with us? Thanks again for this video! Hope you and your family are having a wonderful July 4th weekend‼️
Happy Independence Day to you too!! You are just a joy to listen to and love your videos. I guess I will be buying soft glam soon.
Oh you are so kind!!! Thank you so very much. 🧡🧡🧡
Melissa could you please list the Obagi items you use please.
That foundation looks really nice on you! Thanks for another get ready with me video. I love the whole look. Happy 4th of July Melissa!
You. Are. Stunning.
Hi Melissa I couldn't see how u tightlined your top lid...its beautiful look...can u please tell me if you tight line under top lash line...or you kinda do it through the top lashes like running the pencil on top and throughout the lash line....Im trying to master this....yours look great!!
Oww Melissa you look like you're in your 30s your such a beautiful lady. Lots of love from Australia 🌹🌹
I sent a comment but not sure it went through. Only to say that coverage looks good but I seriously wonder if we shall find an equal to our original Nars. Thank you for testing all these foundations for us. ❤
Hi Melissa happy 4th July. I like applying my foundation with fingers too, but I will go over with a brush or sponge if I think I need to (sometimes I can apply too much or it needs buffed in depending on the product). I think you can press foundation into the skin better with fingers and also warm it up. Many famous makeup artists used their fingers for complexion (including Lisa Eldridge) for many years.
I thought it looked nice on you and I am glad you got a good shade match. In the pale shades it’s really yellow so I don’t think it would be for me (I am ultra cool toned). Best wishes x
I ordered it and will get it Sunday - anxious to see what the hype is all about - I have dry skin tho. Dealing with clean up from a 78mph wind storm last week that took down trees all over town - finally getting someone out to help me with it. What a mess - winds are as destructive as tornadoes, only they cover more area. And just had cataract surgery the day of the storm so I've got a lot of work to do outside now that I got the go-ahead. Hope you are feeling better - beautiful look - nice glow!
Oh my gosh, I am so very sorry. Wind is so scary. You just don't know what kind of damage it can do. I send you my best and please take care and don't over do it. Much love, Melissa
