Congratulations Michelle! I’m so happy for all the well deserved recognition that you are receiving. This is so fun! I miss my fun makeup days in the 80s and 90s and live vicariously through you.
This is truly a MasterClass Tutorial. As a very mature woman I have to say this is a look I would never wear but it looks gorgeous on you and is quite differant than the "5 minute makeup" videos I watch as well. I had no idea who Sabrina Carpenter is until now.
Ok! I have watched you struggle forever with your up close vision issue, presbyopia. I am 74 years old and I had a procedure done when I was in my late 40s. It is called Crystalens surgery. this procedure is an intraocular corrective lens which replaces your original eye lens to give you corrected vision both up close and at a distance. This is not covered by insurance unless you have cataracts and already have to have a lens replacement then you just pay an upcharge for the corrected lens. This has been an absolute life changer for me. My younger sister just recently had this procedure done and she is ecstatic. There are newer procedures, one of which is called Alcon PanOptix trifocal lens. I do not know which procedure my sister had nor do I know anything about the newer procedures. The Crystalens was the first approved intraocular lens with both up close and distance vision. I would definitely check it out because as I said it is a total life changer. Good luck I just couldn’t keep this information from you any longer as I watch you struggle. Best wishes, Carolyn.
Yeah, I wish I had that option available to me when I had cataract surgery 10 years ago, but it was out of my price range. My boss had it done and she was very happy with it.
So glad that worked for you!! Do you have to refrain from rubbing your eyes -- i.e. in the inner corners not directly on the eyeballs, I never do that anyway. But like in the inner corners do you have to keep from touching there etc ? ❤
@@christinescott5002 So sorry. I don't know the price difference if you opt for the special lens. I was certainly blessed to be able to afford it way back when. If I remember correctly it was $10,000. I could definitely not afford it now.
FINALLY , an artist/ makeup geek sharing & teaching color theory ! Admittedly it can be frightening even overwhelming!!! BUT.... not if u play,play,play that's the attitude u have to adopt not,omg,omg,omg, I cant do this !!! Yes U can, we all.can sooooo , watch this video 10x if u must Kackie is giving us the true and real golden nuggets in learning the joy of creating ur DESIRED LOOK than u Kackie Bravo 👏👏👏
Don’t ever give up on a shimmer. You can add pop like she has without overwhelming the eye with it. Usually shimmers become an issue when you have a very crapey lid and pack on the shimmer. Dusting of it always bring light therefore attention to the eye while making the eye look much more interesting.
I'm 54 now, and I also refuse to give up my shimmers, glimmers, glitters and foils. I have very hooded eyes and those formulations bring light to my eyes. And... it just makes me happy!
You look fabulous ❤thank you . I am 68 year old learning how to apply make up. I am a retired nurse and you make it a lot easy for me to do it. Congratulations for your selection by Ulta❤❤❤
Trust the process! I like how you explained how you can customize or omit steps to make it more wearable for us. I wouldn’t have given the purple a chance but seeing how you made it work changed my mind. I love learning from you and expanding my skill set.
Congratulations on the recognition that you have been given. You definitely deserve it. I have to say this is probably the best tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you so much for the step by step explanations!
That looks INCREDIBLE on you & I appreciate you showing that inner corner eye shimmer ❤ I've been trying to mimic this for SO long & now I know the secret is a flat dome shape eyeshadow brush!! God bless Hun 🙏🤗
You did your "pop of glow" on your cheeks and I burst out laughing because as an oily skin gal, I've spent my whole life trying to blot and mattify that "pop of glow". But it looks fabulous on you! I'm beginning to (slightly) rethink my naturally glowy skin.
Such a great tutorial and intro to Elf makeup! You are so talented. There are so many helpful tips here that I am looking forward to trying. I also love their makeup balm remover. I have not tried any of their products but will be trying many soon! ❤
I did not think I was going to like that eye look when you got started, but going back and tweaking it, made me really like it. I think purple tones are so underrated because they add that pop of color while looking so flattering on any eye, any hair color, any skin tone.
First of all.. congrats on being chosen to represent the over 40 woman!! You deserve it!! Secondly… your videos are so informative and beyond helpful!! Thank you!!
Congratulations on your successes! Thank you for representing us! I really appreciate the Elf soft glam look. You look so pretty. I do like the Elf concealer; glad for the tutorial . It was a master class!
I love this! I would definitely play around with this look - it is so fun! I found an Elf mascara in brown called Big Mood that I love using - it isn’t tubing, but it has a big chunky brush that I love! Great look Michelle! Happy Father’s Day to Rob and your Dad! ❤
Same about the eyebrows that are not twins 😂 it helped me when I got them tatted back in the 90’s. They are mostly faded now but it helped me learn the strokes to use even now. You are so talented and kind for sharing it with us, thank you 😊
I still have no clue who Sabrina Carpenter is, but I love this eye look (but I won't bring my blush down so low. Blush below the nostril can make you look older - as it does me)! I can't do the liner like Michelle because my eyes are too deep set, but I'm certainly trying the rest. I'm heading towards 50, but ever since my mom made me let me pick my own clothes as a kid, I've given zero F's about trends and nowadays I laugh at the idiotic 'rules' for us well preserved ladies. Bring on the colour, bring on the shimmer! You do you, ladies! Don't listen to the ' barely out of leading strings'- beauty bloggers and influencers. Nowadays, they consider women closing in on 30 as already standing with one foot in the grave, so they're morons and don't know sh*t. We know best what makes us pretty, what makes us *feel* good - and that can be ANYthing. Now, forgive me, I gotta go. This gal needs to buy some E.L.F!😂
@misssunnydee LMBO🤣 I wear what I please ,when I please!!! I love all the available opinions oh the "HOW2 OF MAKEUP " But honestly Not a single influencer out there who knows my skin, my features, and all the undertones I deal with We are all quite litterally the best artists of us!!! Shimmer, glitter, bright colors Wow ! Bring it, im ready 2 strategically play artist on my own canvas!! This is how a woman who dresses and does makeup for herself feels ❣️
@melanieadorno8813 And you look amazing while "doing as you please." 😁 I've had makeup done by others according to certain trends or 'rules'. If I was lucky enough not to walk out there looking like a frigging clown, something else was wrong. Do you know how many people who say they're MUA's have no clue what to do with a deep set eye? Or a very pale, almost greyish cool toned skin that's super sensitive and Sahara dry? I can even count the ones on social media on one hand... The ironic thing is, that ever since I embraced my own style, taste and the experiences of what it takes to make my personal canvas look good (or at least not as if I'm dying at any moment), I get compliments *whenever* I leave the house. Always, without fail. Sadly enough, many of those compliments are followed by "I wish I dared...", "I wish I could...". (Guess what: only women say that). I always do my best to convince them that they can definitely create their own version of what they complimented. The most important lesson is in embracing yourself, warts and all, and to not follow trends "just because". It can be fun to follow fashion and beauty, especially if it's a passion. But doing what's 'in', applying makeup a certain way "because everyone else does it, so it must be good/will make me be accepted" isn't the right path, and will rarely lead to feeling good about yourself. Self- care is crucial for one's mental health, and taking care of your appearance isn't a superficial act but an important part of that. Did you know it is one of the very first things a psychologist will advise and correct you on as part of your treatment plan when you're severely chronically ill or newly handicapped and interred in a rehabilitation centre*? That says enough. (*At least in many European countries). Of course, I convey this message in a less direct way (unless my gut tells me that it will be accepted and/or even appreciated). Usually, I just tell people my journey and how I came to my own vibrant and 'out there' style (lol, I just realised my profile pic is of the only black dress I own 😆). How necessary it was to realise that my makeup placement needed to be different from magazine tips and influencer xy and z nowadays. Or that I love seeing runway shows, but have adapted the 50s style to everyday looks - sometimes incorporating current fashion when I like it - because I feel sexy and feminine in the style when I go for more Hollywood glam & pinup, and on the other hand always smile and feel happy in the often funny novelty prints of rockabilly dresses. Not to mention: 50s clothing emphasizes a woman's body, always, so I will always have a dress that suits my body to pick & choose from. I'm sure such a style that calls up these positive emotions is there for everybody. In that same message, it's also important I let them know I, too, have struggled (still do) with insecurities, self-esteem, and body issues. But looking in the mirror and seeing the style that truly feels ME, and then getting those compliments every time on top of it certainly helps me. It just goes to show there is no "dare", or "could" involved. Everyone CAN, and everyone deserves. Sorry for rant numero 2. It's a topic that's near and dear to my heart, and that got even more important when I lost my health (and everything after as a result of that). As a chronically ill & handicapped person - I'm wheelchair bound - I'm being marginalised constantly. Looking good either gets me nasty comments like "If you can look like that, you're probably not thàt ill after all," or surprised faces with an "why do you still bother" attached. If I can convince even ONE insecure person or other marginalised member of society, they're worth it to invest in themselves and follow their own preferences, then that would make me really happy.
@misssunnydee Hi miss sunny dee Thank u so much 4 taking the time 2share ur interests and journey ! I LOVE what u had to.say u sound so filled with life and gratitude You know you and ur canvas better than anyone, ur passion feels almost contagious and that is a good thing I feel a kindred spirit in u Have ur best possible day, always being true to thine own self and the rest is gravy 💜
Ya had me at "my make-up looks good everywhere but right around here(within parenthesis)," FINALLY, I'm not the only one! Love your techniques!! You speak my "mature" language!!.
So thankful I found your channel! You have the most amazing makeup skills! Thanks so much for all the tips and using makeup that’s affordable ❤. You are incredible friend ❤
I can’t wait to try this mixing trick with the camo concealer. I put some on this morning and took it off because it was too much. You have such good ideas.
I got the new ELF foundation yesterday and LOVE the look it gives my skin! I also like a dewier look and like their new setting spray. Haven't tried them together yet.
LOVE this look! Sooo gorgeous! I would/will most definitely replicate this look for an evening and/or special event look! You’ve made it ageless too! Thank you for sharing all the techniques and steps to achieve it on mature skin! And many congratulations to you for being selected as an Ulta Beauty Collective expert, especially as one of the rare over age 40 category! Well deserved Michelle! 🎉All the best, Jana 🥰
Love the eyes, yes, definitely an evening look or for a wedding. I love Elf products! I can't wait to try the new foundation. Looking forward to the acne video, 55 y/o with life long acne issues..
Thanks for this video. I ordered the new foundation, the laminating gel and a brow pencil off of their website a few days ago. I am happy to see it in action on you. I’m 58 so always appreciate your content
thank you for the beautiful soft glam Elf!!!! Love your videos! I’ve started using the Maybeline eyebrow. I’m looking for a super wear and waterproof brow please, that does not smear off during my work day.😊
You look gorgeous! Your makeup is always stunning! Thanks for the tutorial….it was very helpful. I also loved that you used one of my favorite words….ridonculous!! Great description! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
It’s not “too much!” It’s perfect! Totally relate on the magnifying glass- crack me up- because I wear glasses instead of contacts most days I feel like I can go a bit more on my eye makeup! You mentioned humidity- working in- could you do a class for keeping makeup on in lovely Florida humidity- I am always a complete wreck when visiting there!
Thank you for taking the extra time on this one! The brow tutorial and the lash tutorial parts were very very helpful! I’ve been meaning to try lashes again and keep putting it off because it seems too hard, but you made it look easy! I just feel like whenever I do it, I end up messing up all the hard work I did on my eyeshadow. Maybe I’ll try wearing lashes without eyeshadow or maybe just a slight wash of color that’s easy to fix if I get glue all over it. Ha ha.
Wow, what a great video!!! You look great, and you are such a great teacher. I trust your opinions completely because I know you know what you are doing. Thank you so much for all you do. You are simply the best!!!!!
I like the frosty look on your inner eyes too. I feel like it opens my aging eyes and I use it everyday! I can’t wait to try the pop of color in your eyes and the cute pink blush. I wouldn’t have thought I could do that.
LOVE this look!!! I am a natural redhead who is now 66 years old, so of course I color!! Love your color….would you tell me what brand & color you use?💋
I’ve realized I LOVE elf and Pixie! The pixie face blush and bronzer sticks are great! Which face brush would you recommend for blending crème or oil based blushes and bronzers ????
I’m gonna have to try the elf sunscreen.. because I’ve tried & bought so many & I just don’t like them.. & you know how it is if you buy something and no matter how much you want to like it if you don’t you won’t use it… happy Father’s Day to your hubby & dad .. it’s hard for me now I’m blessed to have my mom but my sweet daddy is gone now for 2 years almost in October.. i miss him and we have to go on
I absolutely love the way Your Eyes turned out, but I’m curious what the amethyst was for since it was completely covered up by the end. I’m not giving negative feedback about what you did. I’m just trying to find out if it’s a necessary step to get this eye look because I would like to do duplicate this, and I’m not sure if I need it if I can use the elf black pencil that I have to just create that shadow defect that you did with the chunkier pencil?
Great video! Could I ask, how do you feel about women shaving their faces? Any after affects from doing this? I have blond peach fuzz around the mouth and lower jaw but only likely visible in my mag mirror.
I used both the glowy ELF sunscreen and the invisible one. I liked them both. My new obsession is SuperGoop tinted SPF 50. I bought the shade 22W and use it as SPF and base color. It feels great and lasts a good amount of time. I do need a concealer. I’ve also been doing the Aquaphor too. I love this look! Be well!
Good Morning - I live in rural Ohio and the Elf Soft Glam is not sold at my local Walmart. I looked for it about a week ago and they didn't have it but they do now. I still like my Wet and Wild Photo Finish Dewey Foundation much better on this 67 yo face. Congratulations!
My eyebrows are exactly like yours. The one is long and has a nice arch and the other one is short and I’m always trying to get them to match and I just feel like I keep adding and adding and by the time I’m done I have these thick eyebrows and then I have to take a Q-tip and wipe them all off except for a thin line. I found that that precise brow really does help me. I have the one that you have as well in the white and I use that when I’m up big hurry, but sometimes I look at myself in the mirror after doing my eyebrows with that and it just looks like so much but that’s because I don’t really have any eyebrows other than, a few strands that allow me to shape them but they are clear or gray
Hi, I've just found your channel, and I love it so much, so I have subscribed. I was wondering what you use to remove your makeup. Sorry if you have already done a video explaining it. Best wishes from 🇬🇧
Hi Michelle, Nikki La Rose used and reviewed the Elf soft glam foundation. She said it oxidized Have you found this to be true for you? Thanks for your reviews and content.
Just wanted to drop in and say that I have been watching your tutorials for a few days and thinking you reminded me of someone else SO much and I finally figured out that it's Mary Steenburgen--specifically your voice and cheekbones! Anyway, you're lovely and very helpful! ❤️
Hi Michelle, question,, with seint, you recommend darker shade for mature skin. But with liquid foundation do you recommend a closer match? Or still darker??
I liked the Soft Glam foundation but Seint has me spoiled. Nothing looks like it does. I got the eye primer to try too. It was good, but I think I like the Milani better. I would love to see a neutral look with the satin foundation. This is a gorgeous look.
Just getting started watching, but elf does have another sunscreen good for those of us with a more oily complexion. Its the Suntouchable Invisible SPF 35. Also acts as a blurring primer.

Love the look,Michelle! As you said,it can be played up or down! E.L.F. enables us to have fun without breaking the bank!
Absolutely!!
My favorite Elf product has to be the Camo CC cream. It makes my skin look flawless.
Love that ❤
Very fun tricks and techniques here to try. Thanks again for sharing your expertise.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I got the new ELF foundation yesterday and LOVE the look it gives my skin! I also like a dewier look and like their new setting spray. Haven't tried them together yet.
You are stunning! Love and appreciate all of your pro tips! ❤
Thank you❤
LOVE this look! Sooo gorgeous! I would/will most definitely replicate this look for an evening and/or special event look! You’ve made it ageless too! Thank you for sharing all the techniques and steps to achieve it on mature skin! And many congratulations to you for being selected as an Ulta Beauty Collective expert, especially as one of the rare over age 40 category! Well deserved Michelle! 🎉All the best, Jana 🥰

Love the eyes, yes, definitely an evening look or for a wedding. I love Elf products! I can't wait to try the new foundation. Looking forward to the acne video, 55 y/o with life long acne issues..
Thank you for your time 🥰
You’re welcome 😊
❤ I learned SO MUCH!! MY WORD THIS IS BEAUTIFUL 😻❤️
Love the look & the education!❤
Thanks for this video. I ordered the new foundation, the laminating gel and a brow pencil off of their website a few days ago. I am happy to see it in action on you. I’m 58 so always appreciate your content
I appreciate you!!!❤
thank you for the beautiful soft glam Elf!!!! Love your videos! I’ve started using the Maybeline eyebrow. I’m looking for a super wear and waterproof brow please, that does not smear off during my work day.😊
Beautifulllllll Michelle!!! As always! Xox great tricks thank you!
You are so welcome!
Beautiful! Yes, thank you for mastering class.
You are so welcome! It was indepth 😝
You look gorgeous! Your makeup is always stunning! Thanks for the tutorial….it was very helpful. I also loved that you used one of my favorite words….ridonculous!! Great description! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Awesome! We found our tribe!! ❤
Michelle is a mind reader!! I was waiting for your review before purchasing, Michelle!
Woo hoo! Ive worn it three days in a row and it’s nice, especially for summer
It’s not “too much!” It’s perfect! Totally relate on the magnifying glass- crack me up- because I wear glasses instead of contacts most days I feel like I can go a bit more on my eye makeup! You mentioned humidity- working in- could you do a class for keeping makeup on in lovely Florida humidity- I am always a complete wreck when visiting there!
Thank you for taking the extra time on this one! The brow tutorial and the lash tutorial parts were very very helpful! I’ve been meaning to try lashes again and keep putting it off because it seems too hard, but you made it look easy! I just feel like whenever I do it, I end up messing up all the hard work I did on my eyeshadow. Maybe I’ll try wearing lashes without eyeshadow or maybe just a slight wash of color that’s easy to fix if I get glue all over it. Ha ha.
Wow, what a great video!!! You look great, and you are such a great teacher. I trust your opinions completely because I know you know what you are doing. Thank you so much for all you do. You are simply the best!!!!!
Wow, thank you!
Congratulations 🎈🎊🎉🍾 on being one of the 40 chosen by Ulta.
Thank you!!
I love this look, and will try it myself. 💜
Yay! Thank you!
SQUEEEEE!!! I live for full face of elf videos! ❤❤❤
Me too!!!❤
I like the frosty look on your inner eyes too. I feel like it opens my aging eyes and I use it everyday! I can’t wait to try the pop of color in your eyes and the cute pink blush. I wouldn’t have thought I could do that.
Love these real videos ❤
That means so much ❤
Love this! Have a question, apologies has nothing to do with the makeup this go around., I love your hair color! What color is it?
LOVE this look!!! I am a natural redhead who is now 66 years old, so of course I color!! Love your color….would you tell me what brand & color you use?💋
I’ve realized I LOVE elf and Pixie! The pixie face blush and bronzer sticks are great! Which face brush would you recommend for blending crème or oil based blushes and bronzers ????
I’m gonna have to try the elf sunscreen.. because I’ve tried & bought so many & I just don’t like them.. & you know how it is if you buy something and no matter how much you want to like it if you don’t you won’t use it… happy Father’s Day to your hubby & dad .. it’s hard for me now I’m blessed to have my mom but my sweet daddy is gone now for 2 years almost in October.. i miss him and we have to go on
Oh, Im so sorry. This life is so hard without a parent, even though we are grown 😢
I’m not sure if I missed you saying and the link but which Aquafor are you using?
I absolutely love the way Your Eyes turned out, but I’m curious what the amethyst was for since it was completely covered up by the end. I’m not giving negative feedback about what you did. I’m just trying to find out if it’s a necessary step to get this eye look because I would like to do duplicate this, and I’m not sure if I need it if I can use the elf black pencil that I have to just create that shadow defect that you did with the chunkier pencil?
Great video! Could I ask, how do you feel about women shaving their faces? Any after affects from doing this? I have blond peach fuzz around the mouth and lower jaw but only likely visible in my mag mirror.
"beat it into submission..." subscribed!
I used both the glowy ELF sunscreen and the invisible one. I liked them both. My new obsession is SuperGoop tinted SPF 50. I bought the shade 22W and use it as SPF and base color. It feels great and lasts a good amount of time. I do need a concealer. I’ve also been doing the Aquaphor too. I love this look! Be well!
Great products!! Thanks Jane ❤
Btw your home looks beautiful!!
Thank you!! 😊
It still needs SO much updating ❤
YOU ARE SO TALENTED
You're skin is so pretty!
I think using the smaller size brushes for the face are so much better.
Agreed❤
Good Morning - I live in rural Ohio and the Elf Soft Glam is not sold at my local Walmart. I looked for it about a week ago and they didn't have it but they do now. I still like my Wet and Wild Photo Finish Dewey Foundation much better on this 67 yo face. Congratulations!
My eyebrows are exactly like yours. The one is long and has a nice arch and the other one is short and I’m always trying to get them to match and I just feel like I keep adding and adding and by the time I’m done I have these thick eyebrows and then I have to take a Q-tip and wipe them all off except for a thin line. I found that that precise brow really does help me. I have the one that you have as well in the white and I use that when I’m up big hurry, but sometimes I look at myself in the mirror after doing my eyebrows with that and it just looks like so much but that’s because I don’t really have any eyebrows other than, a few strands that allow me to shape them but they are clear or gray
Hi, I've just found your channel, and I love it so much, so I have subscribed. I was wondering what you use to remove your makeup. Sorry if you have already done a video explaining it. Best wishes from 🇬🇧
Hi Michelle, Nikki La Rose used and reviewed the Elf soft glam foundation. She said it oxidized Have you found this to be true for you? Thanks for your reviews and content.
I like the new chair!!!
Just wanted to drop in and say that I have been watching your tutorials for a few days and thinking you reminded me of someone else SO much and I finally figured out that it's Mary Steenburgen--specifically your voice and cheekbones! Anyway, you're lovely and very helpful! ❤️
Wow, thank you!
Can you comment on the Elf and Biore SPF’s - are they compatible under Seint makeup? What’s your go to for economical SPF for Seint? Thanks, Michelle!
I bought this two days ago at Walmart fully stocked
Hi Michelle, question,, with seint, you recommend darker shade for mature skin. But with liquid foundation do you recommend a closer match? Or still darker??
I liked the Soft Glam foundation but Seint has me spoiled. Nothing looks like it does. I got the eye primer to try too. It was good, but I think I like the Milani better. I would love to see a neutral look with the satin foundation. This is a gorgeous look.
Beautiful, thank you very much.
Thank you too!
I love the Biore sunscreen, it works so well under my makeup. I found the Elf far too glowy for me!
Biore is SO good and actually a great primer ❤
I love Elf. They’re cruelty free and inexpensive. I use their eyeshadow for eyeliner.
Thank you for doing brows on camera!!!
Im glad you shared that because I blow off brows because I think no one wants to see it ❤
I love seeing your brows done Thank you
Always bronze your neck. When we get older because our necks get wrinkly and crepey, bronzer helps camouflage and slim that area.
Just getting started watching, but elf does have another sunscreen good for those of us with a more oily complexion. Its the Suntouchable Invisible SPF 35. Also acts as a blurring primer.
First time watching! You are beautiful,
Great video!!!😊
Where do you get the Japanese sun block- feel nice on the face (serum or cream?) and light texture with a high SPF.? Thanks!
Congratulations on being chosen to represent us.
Thanks Maurita❤
