Dez….Welcome to the club! Happy 70th birthday. I am 72 now and I have to say, there are definitely some changes in my hair, my skin, etc., but I am very active and I subscribe to my dad’s eating wisdom……Eat as you should 70-80 % of the time, so you can eat what you love other times. My hair is definitely thinned a bit…some lines have taken up permanent residence….gravity has visited …BUT…all in all, I feel great, stay active and have my husband, children and friends. So life at 72 is pretty damn good. While , like most women, I would love to have some of my 40’s back, I am so much more comfortable in who I am, and what I do and do not give a damn about anymore. My gratitude for life is greater than at any other time, and I hope to be blessed to add many more candles to my birthday cake. Cheers to you and thanks for how wonderfully and honestly you represent ladies of our age.🍷❤
You have a great attitude to life..are grateful for the things you have, rather than be miserable about what you don't have.. well done! Attitude is everything ❤❤❤
Oh Bobbie that's so very kind of you to say - and it's wonderful to hear how you are living your life well and happy! I honestly feel as though this is a new chapter in my life, and an exciting one - partly because my mum didn't make it. Have a wonderful week ❤️
Honestly the older I get the more I appreciate 'natural' looking women you look lovely to me before any make up. I despair sometimes when I see young girls that probably were beautiful that have pumped their lips and cheeks up to the extent of ridiculousness then on top dyed their hair a colour that just does not suit their skin colour so I really appreciate seeing more natural looking women now.
@@MemeMemecrook I know exactly what you mean about the way young girls look today with their fillers and their black painted eyebrows and their trout pouts - they all look the same to me, like the puppet Aqua Marina from Stingray! I'm 63 and I'm very happy to just grow old gracefully. I like wearing makeup, but I don't bother with it if I'm just nipping to Sainsbury's or visiting my Mum in the nursing home - I prefer the au naturel look!
Yes those botoxed lips meant to look like vaginas stuck on their faces 😂 - absolutely ridiculous. So glad I didn't have daughters, I couldn't bear watching them destroy their faces.
"Who is this old bag?!!"🤣🤣 From a 66 year old gal (who feels about 35), you just cracked me up! I go in to the shops and get that same reaction. If they only knew it's a blink of the eye... Just discovered your channel and I think I'm going to love it! You looked great in this minimal makeup look today!✌️🩵
I will be 73 on Oct. 4th and I love videos about new makeup ideas for aging skin, eye and lips. I have always loved makeup , and realized a few years ago that what I was doing wasn't working anymore. Have gotten many more compliments since I started going much lighter with foundation, lipstick and blush.
I turned 70 on September 22nd. I quit drinking in 1983 and have dallied on and off thru the years with smoking on and off. I quit again for good on Sept 1st. I decided to go gray this year from my natural auburn, and am ditching the pixie cut for casual up dos! The natural wave and curl in my hair is blowing me away. Mom had a medium complexion with jet black hair in her youth and beautiful salt and pepper hair, and my red came from my German/Dutch father. It's a wonderful time to be alive. Happy Birthday! I am very low key when it comes to makeup, so this approach looks nice. Thanks for uploading!
I have just come across your video.I was 70 in August and still enjoy wearing my makeup have really enjoyed watching and been drawn to the eyeshadow you used...so glad I came across your makeup tutorial Thankyou.
Happy Birthday Dez! Great video. I am also a September girl and turned 62 on the 17th. Although I see the signs of aging coming am feeling so grateful to be here and in good health. My mommy never got to this age, she died at 53 of lung cancer. She was also a smoker and social drinker as were so many of her generation. As a result, my sisters and I have lived a different way, none of us smoke or drink, and we live a much more healthy lifestyle. As for makeup, I find I like less actual foundation, just a touch of concealer and powder. But I am wearing more eyeliner. Think I look more youthful with it, which is a change for me! Not a red lip girl but rocked it in the 80's! Like you I think it ages me. These days it is a slightly brighter pink or plummy lipcolor. Cheers Dez, I hope you enjoy your special day. Here's to your 70's!
Thanks so much Michelle! And so sorry about your mum, that's far too young. I do love eyeliner, so not sure I'll completely give it up, maybe just tone it down a bit. I do think it also depends on one's features. Belated happy birthday to you ❤️❤️❤️
Happy 70th 🎉 Birthday Dez! I have learned to never regret getting older, as it is a privilege that many don't get. I turned 60 six months ago. I enjoyed your video tonight, and I also aim for a minimalist makeup look in the hotter months as here in the Australian heat makeup can just melt off!
Hi Dez, all the best for a happy birthday, you look amazing, you pull it off every time!! I am new to your Channel, I have to say you are so refreshing, I love your honesty, listening to your trials of makeup, its like listening to a friend, you put a smile on my face and I have giggled here and there. I also trial a lot of make up and I have been inspired and have purchased some of the products, hoping for the same effect that have worked for you. I would like to think I am young 63 year old, and have been inspired by people like yourself. Keep up the good work Dez, such an enjoyable channel, you have a lot of fans out there! :)
Oh Brenda, that's so lovely of you to say! I can't tell you how much it means to me to hear you say these sweet things! I never quite know how things are going to turn out, but that's part of the fun, I think, and why I love makeup so much! Have a great rest of your week ❤️❤️❤️
Happy birthday! I just had my birthday my 72nd on 14th and spent it in Shropshire in a Lakeside Lodge with Hubby. I have just purchased the Elf makeup and Primer, I haven't been wearing a lot but am feeling a bit dowdy so need a reboot!
Thanks so much Christine! Belated happy birthday, and how lovely to spend it lakeside - Shropshire is a beautiful county - we have friends in Shrewsbury. Hope you like the makeup ❤️❤️❤️
Greetings from NYC! I'm so happy I discovered your channel. I turned 70 last summer and celebrated with a dinner out with friends and family. I went silver during the pandemic-love it and it did improve my hair and I have also embraced a minimal makeup routine. You look lovely and I look forward to watching more videos. Happy Birthday!
Belated happy birthday Dez! I will be 65 soon and have been playing with new makeup to get ready for my big birthday. Your video made me feel so good! You look absolutely lovely in your minimalist look and I do mean lovely! I have been stepping outside my usual makeup comfort zone and found some new colors and brands that I think are flattering. It’s been fun and I plan to keep going. Thank you and please keep posting videos!
This was really helpful. I am in my 60s and pretty much a make up novice. This gave me a lot of good ideas for doing a minimalist look that won't be too pricey or take too long to accomplish. Thanks!
Dez new to your channel but subscribed immediately. I love watching all makeup videos. I am 72 and wear minimal makeup always. I rather like the natural look. I have a few dark spots that I would love to have disappear! But…part of the aging process and I was and still am a Sun worshiper. I know not good but love a tan. You look gorgeous this way. I am however going to go back and look at other videos of yours. Hope you have a splendid 70th birthday and many more to come❤❤🎉🎉
Thank you so very much, Kathy, so appreciate your lovely comments! It isn’t easy to give up the sun, nor should we in terms of the Vitamin D we need. I have a few unsightly brown mole (probably warts, tbh!) which I want to have removed so I do wear a hat and sunglasses when I’m in the sun, and rarely wear a bikini 😏 Thank you again so much, and have a great week ❤️
I turned 70 in July and have been feeling a bit down about it. But today I had my hair cut and found your channel and I feel much more optimistic! So Thankyou very much. I love your minimalist, but great looking, makeup.
Oh I'm so glad, Carolyn! It can be a bit lonely out there, being 70, especially if your mates aren't as in to beauty as you are. I still love it and happily there are so many of us here who do too ❤️
Happy birthday! I turned 63 on the 23rd and this is the first time I’ve watched one of your videos. I am going with a bit more minimalist makeup ( some of the time) too! I think you are just adorable! Hope your weekend celebration is wonderful! ❤
Hi, Dez--Happy 70th! That eyeshadow and lipstick look gorgeous on you! We share a similar background--my mother smoked two packs a day and also was a heavy drinker and died at 56. Like you, I decided to adopt a healthy lifestyle and also feel so fortunate to have made it into my mid 70s. Loved your analogy of the rolodex--I can so relate! Hope you have a wonderful trip. By the way, I love the Sweed product and their mascaras are wonderful.
Thanks so much Elise! Sorry to hear you lost your mum so young. I am sure our mums would be proud of what we're both doing - I thought a lot about mine yesterday and what she'd say if she could seem me now. And thanks re the Sweed products - I will definitely give them a go.
Love the video, love the make up and love your attitude! Can honestly say these years are the best of my life. (i’m 68) Life is for living, not grumbling .
Happy Birthday Dez..... if you found a red with the right tones for your skin, it would look great! Don't push the idea aside :) Have a wonderful celebration :)
Beautiful! So natural. I just found you and subscribed! I’m 75 (76 in Nov) and I am looking for women in their 70’s and how they do their own makeup.❤️
Loved this look, your skin looks lovely and the under eye coverage is really good, nice and smooth. Lipstick very pretty too and you are lucky to still have nice full lips. Happy Birthday!
I've noticed that recently I've been using less makeup. More neutral eyes and bb cream instead of foundation. I still use a colourful lipstick but not red or bright pink . Happy birthday Dez ❤
Happy (belated) 70th Birthday from the United States! I just turned 70 0n December 7th so I wasn't too far behind you. I found your videos today and am enjoying learning about fashion and makeup from someone my age instead of from all the 20-40 year old's. As I was approaching my 70th birthday, I found that I have started to question the makeup I've been using and my wardrobe, and....... I'm seeing that less makeup is younger looking than wearing what I have been. And, moving into a new decade, I want my wardrobe to truly reflect ME. I'm currently establishing a minimalist capsule wardrobe that's perfect for me now that my husband and I are retired. I'll be looking at more of your fashion videos for more inspiration.
Thanks so much Michelle - and belated happy birthday to you! Our fashion - and makeup - needs do change as we age and move into different phases of our lives and it can be fun to go on that journey and work out what our new needs are, so to speak ❤️
Happy Birthday! I have hazel-green eyes, so do my sons. My husband had dark brown eyes and so did my mom. You never know what you're going to get! Anyway, sometimes my eyes have more of a brown hint, but most times they go toward the green, especially if I wear green, red or orangey shades. Love your make-up!
Me too! And they're very green after having a bit of a cry😅My hair is dark brown at the roots but more auburn from mid length down - I think it's my Scottish roots. My eyes can look very green or very hazel.
Happy Birthday, Dez. You are doing the perfect Libra thing, keeping us septagenerians glam. I will be 75 in November. Like others here, I do notice thinning hair. But I am fit, still teach barre classes and have to work full time. Widow of 3 years but I am, surprisingly, enjoying my own company. Ta and have a wonderful bday.
Ah yes Libra - I fear I have Virgo tendencies, though 😉 How fantastic to teach barre classes. Do you watch Strictly? I missed last week's but looking forward to tonight's episode. Have a great weekend ❤️
You look lovely. Of all the ladies I have watched, I must say you are best. 1st- you not rambling on. 2. Gentle speaking 3. Don't look like a clown. The heaviness these ladies do are not natural. When you meet people like this, their makeup is more obvious than their personality. Bronzer and blushes too dark, wrong color foundation and you see demarcation edge. These eyelashes they wear look like butterlies sitting on their lid. You look is natural with a little enhancment. .So...... when I look at you, I see YOU, not a clown and in person would be more attentive rather than observing the product on face. I will be 80 next month but people say I look in my 50's. No wrinkles or bags, yes, I am blessed but always have been what I call light handed, which I think is natural with a Little enhancement. You look is PERFECT. Love it
Oh thank you so much, that's so kind of you to say so. And how wonderful that you have great skin. And oh you made me LOL about butterflies 😊Have a wonderful weekend ❤️
It's lovely to find a fellow older English lady demonstrating make up. I turned 60 this year and spent my special birthday with family at a farmhouse at the East Coast. That January long weekend was cold and the sea was wild. Nowadays I find more neutral makeup is far better for me. When I apply heavier makeup I look older than I do with makeup and appear more Lily Savage than glam gran. My great grandfather was a (Victorian and Edwardian period) professional female impersonator but I don't want to do him proud!
What on earth!! Your video popped up by magic as though a higher being thinks I need beauty tips desperately. Yes, I’m 70 this year!! Needing tips. So, thank you Dez. I’ve just subscribed. I’ve lots to learn.❤❤
Love this video! Dez you look great with the minimal makeup look. I am in my mid sixties and am trying to accent my nice features without too much makeup , which actually sometimes makes me look older ! I will give your makeup tips a try!
Dez, thank you for this video. I tried this look and am a complete convert. Goodbye eyeliner and a new softer look is now my thing. Also, please don’t abandon the chatty chats, I love them ( even value them more than the makeup/fashion vids ☺️, dare I say, because its like a chat with a dear friend).
Aww thank you! I would do more chats, but the vids dont do that well - I think I need a lot more subscribers before I get to that stage, even though I love making them myself 😊❤️
I just found you on TH-cam! I will be 70 in December and just all of a sudden noticed wrinkles and dark spots that i hadnt seen before….so im glad to see all your videos and advice for a 70 yr old skin😊😊Happy birthday to you🎶🎼💞. Liz from central Florida USA🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Oh Bobbie that's so very kind of you to say - and it's wonderful to hear how you are living your life well and happy! I honestly feel as though this is a new chapter in my life, and an exciting one - partly because my mum didn't make it. Have a wonderful week ❤️
What is the brownish nail color you have on, very nice
That's because you'll soon be in the grave !
The make up look is absolutely gorgeous on you. Thank you for sharing xo
I’ve been a makeup artist for 50 years, and I must say, I love your minimalist look and all of your suggestions! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 💐🎈
Oh Sally, thanks so much - that’s so lovely of you to say so - much appreciated ❤️

I enjoyed your video tonight, and I also aim for a minimalist makeup look in the hotter months as here in the Australian heat makeup can just melt off!
Thanks so much! I am lucky enough to have visited Australia in the heat, so I know what you mean ❤️
It's true all my friends have passed away and younger than me I don't smoke or drink never drugs but I do like chocolate
You look wonderful. The soft edges of your hair are perfect. I'm 67 and fighting the good fight to look my best!
Thank you so much!
I love this minimalist look!!!
Happy 70th birthday DEZ! Enjoy your beach trip with your family.
Thank you!
This is my first”watch” . Your make tutorial was really great so helpful. I’m 73 and feel like I definitely need enormous help to pick myself up.
Thank you so much!
Hi Dez, I’m 75 in a few days, lucky to have lasted so long. I can’t believe how fast the years are flying.

I like the eyeshadow’s subtle color…very pretty ❤
You look gorgeous. We in Australia have the same problem with having access to products available in other countries.
Muy buen maquillaje! Gracias!
Finished look is absolutely Gorgeous! ♥
Absolutely stunning. Happy Belated birthday 🎂💕
I am 75 and I always do minimalist makeup. You looked great!
Thanks so much❤️

Love the video, love the make up and love your attitude! Can honestly say these years are the best of my life. (i’m 68) Life is for living, not grumbling .
Happy Birthday! I think both looks are pretty, but the red lip look was stunning, and so classy! 💋
Happy Birthday Dez..... if you found a red with the right tones for your skin, it would look great! Don't push the idea aside :) Have a wonderful celebration :)
Thanks Charlotte - and you're right, I'll try to find something a bit softer ❤️
Beautiful! So natural. I just found you and subscribed! I’m 75 (76 in Nov) and I am looking for women in their 70’s and how they do their own makeup.❤️
Thank you so much ❤️
Absolutely beautiful application. What stood out was when you used Lisa Eldridge eye shadow, and you said the shade looks like your own lid colour. ❤
Thank you! I've actually ordered a few more shades now - they are really lovely!
Loved this look, your skin looks lovely and the under eye coverage is really good, nice and smooth. Lipstick very pretty too and you are lucky to still have nice full lips. Happy Birthday!
Thank you so much!!
Happy 70th birthday, Dez! 70 looks BEAUTIFUL on you! ❤❤🎉🎉
Thanks Stacy ❤️❤️❤️
I've noticed that recently I've been using less makeup. More neutral eyes and bb cream instead of foundation. I still use a colourful lipstick but not red or bright pink . Happy birthday Dez ❤
Thanks Cindy ❤️
I love the BB creams.
Wow absolutely beautiful makeup. You are glowing 🕊
Thank you so much!
Happy birthday. I love the makeup look.
Happy Birthday! 😃💐
I think you look beautiful in this makeup! And that colour of the lipstick is really perfect for you - it brings out your eyes!
Thank you so much!!
Life is great after 70. You look great!
Thanks Deborah ❤️
Joyeux anniversaire Dez 🎉
J'ai quelques années de moins que vous et je vous vois comme une magnifique source d'inspiration ❤
Aww merci beaucoup, Lea - vous etes tres gentillle ❤️❤️❤️
Happy birthday! You look fabulous! Thanks for sharing your products used.
Thank you so much ❤️
Happy birthday Dez 🎂 x
I like this look for you!
Happy (belated) 70th Birthday from the United States! I just turned 70 0n December 7th so I wasn't too far behind you. I found your videos today and am enjoying learning about fashion and makeup from someone my age instead of from all the 20-40 year old's. As I was approaching my 70th birthday, I found that I have started to question the makeup I've been using and my wardrobe, and....... I'm seeing that less makeup is younger looking than wearing what I have been. And, moving into a new decade, I want my wardrobe to truly reflect ME. I'm currently establishing a minimalist capsule wardrobe that's perfect for me now that my husband and I are retired. I'll be looking at more of your fashion videos for more inspiration.
Thanks so much Michelle - and belated happy birthday to you! Our fashion - and makeup - needs do change as we age and move into different phases of our lives and it can be fun to go on that journey and work out what our new needs are, so to speak ❤️
That red lip looked fabulous
Thank you!
“Absolute treat”. I love that expression!
I think you looked beautiful with red lip
I was about to write the same thing- you look lovely with the pink but I really loved the red on you 👍🏼
Beautiful make up! Love the lip color on you!
Soft and beautiful Dez. Thanks for sharing.
Happy birthday beautiful ❤. Love watching your videos xx
Thank you ❤️
Happy Birthday! 🎉 enjoy your 70s!
It really fit beautifully!
Happy Birthday!! 🎂
Happy Birthday! I have hazel-green eyes, so do my sons. My husband had dark brown eyes and so did my mom. You never know what you're going to get! Anyway, sometimes my eyes have more of a brown hint, but most times they go toward the green, especially if I wear green, red or orangey shades. Love your make-up!
Thank you! My daughter has bluey green eyes and my son's are blue, like his dad's. Thanks so much for watching ❤️
Me too! And they're very green after having a bit of a cry😅My hair is dark brown at the roots but more auburn from mid length down - I think it's my Scottish roots. My eyes can look very green or very hazel.
I like the natural/minimalist look! You look beautiful! Love and light❤️✌️
Thanks so much ❤️
Happy birthday! You look beautiful. I am 65, and started wearing minimal makeup also a few years ago.
Thank you!
Happy Birthday, Dez. You are doing the perfect Libra thing, keeping us septagenerians glam. I will be 75 in November. Like others here, I do notice thinning hair. But I am fit, still teach barre classes and have to work full time. Widow of 3 years but I am, surprisingly, enjoying my own company. Ta and have a wonderful bday.
Ah yes Libra - I fear I have Virgo tendencies, though 😉 How fantastic to teach barre classes. Do you watch Strictly? I missed last week's but looking forward to tonight's episode. Have a great weekend ❤️
You look lovely. Of all the ladies I have watched, I must say you are best.
1st- you not rambling on.
2. Gentle speaking
3. Don't look like a clown.
The heaviness these ladies do are not natural. When you meet people like this, their makeup is more obvious than their personality. Bronzer and blushes too dark, wrong color foundation and you see demarcation edge. These eyelashes they wear look like butterlies sitting on their lid. You look is natural with a little enhancment. .So...... when I look at you, I see YOU, not a clown and in person would be more attentive rather than observing the product on face. I will be 80 next month but people say I look in my 50's. No wrinkles or bags, yes, I am blessed but always have been what I call light handed, which I think is natural with a Little enhancement. You look is PERFECT. Love it
Oh thank you so much, that's so kind of you to say so. And how wonderful that you have great skin. And oh you made me LOL about butterflies 😊Have a wonderful weekend ❤️
I'm 70 also. I struggle with minimal eye makeup. I still like the heavy exotic look of the Elizabeth taylor era! You look lovely!
Thank you! And Oh Elizabeth Taylor, those eyes 😍
Looks beautiful!
Beautiful! Happy Birthday 🎉
The minimalist make up looks fab on you.😊 It's a youngish look for someone who's turning 70.
You are so sweet
So wonderful that you have your moms’ makeup bag, 😊❤️
Thank you! I know, it's a treasured object ❤️
Gosh! You look fabulous in a red lip! Try it, you'll love it after you get used to seeing yourself with a defined lip❤
Oh thank you - I will try again but maybe not with a gloss on top ❤️
It's lovely to find a fellow older English lady demonstrating make up. I turned 60 this year and spent my special birthday with family at a farmhouse at the East Coast. That January long weekend was cold and the sea was wild.
Nowadays I find more neutral makeup is far better for me. When I apply heavier makeup I look older than I do with makeup and appear more Lily Savage than glam gran.
My great grandfather was a (Victorian and Edwardian period) professional female impersonator but I don't want to do him proud!
Oh Karrie you made me LOL! How amazing your great grandfather sounds - do you have pics? Thanks so much for watching ❤️
Your nails look fabulous!!!
Lovely make up , just enough . Love the colour lipstick 💄.
I’m a new subscriber! Thank you for doing this video I so enjoyed it. NY, New York 💕💕
Thank you Susan ❤️
They say not to pump the mascara wand in the tube. It pumps air into the tube and causes it to dry out faster, clump and flake.
I've also read that. Instead, twist the wand around in the tube a couple of times.
What on earth!! Your video popped up by magic as though a higher being thinks I need beauty tips desperately. Yes, I’m 70 this year!! Needing tips. So, thank you Dez. I’ve just subscribed. I’ve lots to learn.❤❤
Oh thank you so much - let me know if there are any particular things you'd like me to cover ❤️
Love this video! Dez you look great with the minimal makeup look. I am in my mid sixties and am trying to accent my nice features without too much makeup , which actually sometimes makes me look older ! I will give your makeup tips a try!
Thanks so much Sabina ❤️
First time watching , what a lovely lady you are , your make up is lovely ,will subscribe, x
Aww thanks so much Jan ❤️
You look terrific. Enjoyed the chat, and your honesty.
Hello. I just came across your video tonight. I thought what a beautiful woman. You look amazing. I subscribed 😊. I am 63.
Gloria in California
You look fabulous!!!
I turned 70 in September also! Happy Birthday to us!
Indeed 🎂❤️
Dez, thank you for this video. I tried this look and am a complete convert. Goodbye eyeliner and a new softer look is now my thing. Also, please don’t abandon the chatty chats, I love them ( even value them more than the makeup/fashion vids ☺️, dare I say, because its like a chat with a dear friend).
Aww thank you! I would do more chats, but the vids dont do that well - I think I need a lot more subscribers before I get to that stage, even though I love making them myself 😊❤️
Happy birthday to you. Really liked the make up on you. 🌺🌺
Absolutely love that look. Just enough. Perfect ❤
Thank you so much!!
So pretty 💖
Thank you! 😊
I just found you on TH-cam! I will be 70 in December and just all of a sudden noticed wrinkles and dark spots that i hadnt seen before….so im glad to see all your videos and advice for a 70 yr old skin😊😊Happy birthday to you🎶🎼💞. Liz from central Florida USA🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks so much Liz!
