Debora has been trying to post this comment but hasnt had any luck so she emailed it to me and here it is: "Hello team/gang/ community of Lisa Eldridge devotees! I am so pleased to have joined you all. I am afraid to admit I am still more comfortable talking on a telephone than chatting globally with my cyberpals but my 15 year old helped me figure out how to do this. Thank you for your warm comments. I am trying to find a way to print your commentaries up and make wallpaper to cheer me up when those mood swings get too steep. And thanks for all your suggestions: I have gone out to buy fish oil and serenity cream, primrose oil and now have a 15x mirror. I DID have a 5x one but could not see a thing.As to skin care, if you want to know the truth, I tend to use cheap Vaseline (or whatever is on sale). I put it on most nights as I lie in a bath looking at the ceiling trying to remember what I forgot to do that day. My grandmother used Crisco Lard, a type of cooking fat (this was in the 30’s ,40’s and 50’s). Every once and a while I splash out on a treat from Chanel or something I see Lisa recommend. And thanks for the comments about being too young: I am 56 and have been running on this cheap hormone-depressed petrol for 2 years now. I love that Lisa is helping us look great at all ages. Now if only she could do something about my missing waist and back cleavage!!! "
Using vaseline/crisco/lard actually has a bit of a truth to it, in that it keeps moisture in the skin. That and sunscreen which Lisa & Debora were talking about in the video. Thank you, Lisa & Debora!
This lady is amazing, she handles her menopause so well, with sense of humour and class. I was absolutely in love with her personality and the look was amazingly beautiful, natural... gorgeous!!!! You can be beautiful at any age. Attitude counts too! ! Love your job, Lisa!
Thank you Lisa Eldridge! Finally, a professional make up artist addressing make up for 50+ skin. We need much more help than young ladies who have young, plump, elastic, forgiving skin. More of these please.
This is a fantastic video! Thanks to Deborah for her humorous insights into menopause (she sounds just like me with the eyesight etc)!! She's a gorgeous woman and you showed just the right makeup and many of the same ones I've found to be the best for "mature" skin, as well as some new things I'm going to have to try! Thank you. xo ~angie

it's ridiculous how it's not necessarily seen as an "okay" thing to be putting on makeup in public but also as women, we're expected to appear somewhat presentable at almost all times... I heard there are men who judges women for not putting on any makeup at all!
I can't believe someone commented on her applying her make up on the tube. He's the rude one. At least she wasn't driving to work and applying it in the car. I hate how some men get annoyed when women wear make up and other men expect us to. The worst part is there's nothing I can do that will piss them both off :P
I really love watching women put their make-up on, on the tube. It's interesting to see what they do and what effect they achieve (though not always good!). I'm always tempted to strike up a full-on make-up conversation. Make-up is the best thing about being female. I can't think why anyone would be offended by someone doing their face on the train. It's completely practical - and the light is pretty good, too.
I'm only 14 but I will still sit here and enjoy any of your videos no matter how long and no matter what subject, they're just so relaxing and educational :) x
I'm on the other side. At 52, most of her models are way younger and she's using looks that I probably wouldn't. But I agree with you. Her voice is so soothing, and I love her videos. :-)
Debora is the most stunning menopausal woman I have ever seen. All of us women have this to come, glad to hear Debora share her experiences with a touch of humour!
Deborah looks like she's 40 -- even without makeup! I'm old enough to barely remember menopause -- it gets better, trust me! ;) Great tutorial, as always.
I am 55 years old, I think the biggest challenge of aging is learning to adjust our makeup and keeping our figures.. ...as Debora mentions, seeing becomes a big problem...I also think keeping our skin in the best shape possible helps, without the FIRM canvas...it at least, has to be in good shape....Love the tube story....never get on the wrong side of a woman going through menopause...LOL..Wonderful video...I am always looking for ways to educate women about skin and CHANGING our makeup techniques and products....Thanks for featuring a woman of age, her skin is beautiful! ( oh and lip wrinkles, don't get me started on them)...BISOUS!!
My mother doesn't wear make-up and won't let me give her a make over. Must show her this video, the end result was beautiful!! Always love your videos. :)) xx Gillian
GREAT VIDEO!You are a diamond in a rhinestone world Lisa!This is hardly ever addressed specially by anyone in the beauty/make up industry although aging woman account for more than half of customers/consumers of cosmetics and or services from beauty professionals .
I love this video, you address so many issues women have, young/old. I really want to know how Debora takes care of her skin (apart from living in England as she said :-)) because her skin looks REALLY good. Thanks, Lisa!
There is a lot of trial and error in makeup for maturing skin, the number one thing for me is the crepey eyelids and finding the right eyeliner and tools to make the makeup go on without the skipping marks across the lids. I for one hate the fact that I have to gently pull the skin to even everything out. I would like tips and suggestions and recommendations on application and products in a video. Thanks
I am utterly confused by blush, the advice seems to be totally random depending on the make-up artist, place it high, not too low, not on the apples of the cheeks after your 30's, 40's 50's (I'm 58) and yet here you are putting blush on apples of Debora's cheeks to beautiful effect. Could you clarify? Personally, I believe that the problem is that most of the make-up artists here on youtube (which I adore) are all young... :D Debora's make-up is stunning and so well done, thank you.
I'm a teenager (14 years) but I love to watch your videos, I watch every single one because you are gorgeous and your model today is beautiful! Could you do a video about peach fuzz or facial hair and how to kind of cover it? And how to make make up to not look so cakey or anything like that? :) xx
Did you know Marilyn Monroe had a layer of light coloured peach fuzz all over her face and refused to remove it? She thought it gave her a nice glow on camera. x
I didn't know that, wow. That lady was the queen ;) Are there even ways to remove it ? Like all over the face ? I am just realising that I have literally no idea about all that... x
VeshOfficial There are facial waxes, but unless you really trust it and have good experience with waxing, I recommend against it. I've tried it and on every place I waxed, I broke out like crazy. Looked like a clown for weeks! (thank god for concealers)
VeshOfficial You can use a depilatory cream like Nair or Veet but I wouldn't recommend that for sensitive skin. Olay also has a good one (I have sensitive skin and the Olay one doesn't burn or break me out). You can also wax it off (I'd have it professionally done). Some girls even have their cheeks threaded. With waxing,depilatory creams and threading it won't grow back coarse or black so you don't have to worry about that. (I'm an Esthetician so I learned all about it in school lol). If you don't want to go the removal route, a good tip is after you apply your foundation and powder take a clean brush and stroke downward lightly on your face so the hairs lay down. Hope this helps!! :)
As you get older you forget that peach fuzz exists, trust me no one is looking at your peach fuzz and everyone has it! Don't go get waxes or anything at 14. I used to be horribly self conscious of peach fuzz and i was convinced i had side burns (actually just my hairline finishing close to my ears). Once you realise no ones actually looking and its totally normal then you'll feel better. It comes with age (i'm 20)
Wow no way she was 56 when they made this video :D she is gorgeous, and she has aged so beautifully just like my mum! I hope when I'm this age I can still look this flawless hahaha
I reached menopause early on, just as I turned 40 (I recently turned 45). I've been using sunscreen religiously since I was 18. There are many things that I just recently began doing like acupressure, oil cleansing method, I naturally have oily skin, but it has normalized somewhat since using OCM. I have gravitated more to the use of BB creams than foundations, as they seem too thick for me now. I am even transitioning in my quest to let my hair grow white, lol. I've had white hair since adolescence, and have been dye-free for almost ten months now. I accepted the aging process with grace, as I've always been young at heart. It was a blessing to see this video, and I hope others find it as helpful as I have.
Absolutely loved this. She was fantastic. Real women telling the truth. There's nothing better. Honestly, she looked great before with her gorgeous skin and even more amazing after. I personally don't think she needs anyone's permission to apply her makeup on the tube. Do what you have to do unapologetically.
Deborah is brilliant. It is so nice to see someone a little older. No offence to the younger ladies out there but 40+ women are under-represented in make up tutorials :) She is very attractive and funny and interesting too. You enhanced her beauty. Also, I bought the Chanel lip pencil recently - I love it - best shade ever. All on your recommendation...
Lisa, you have no idea just how much I needed this tutorial! I'm 36, & have been in menopause for 2 years. I had a hysterectomy, which of course sent me into menopause immediately. It has been very difficult to adapt to. I have hot flashes ALL day long. I live in state that reaches 100+ degrees in the summer. So, makeup has been a real challenge. Sometimes I sweat so badly that by the end of the day, my eyebrows are down by my eyelids! My brows are so thin & sparse, that I have to fill them in, or I look sickly. I relate to Deborah, & very much appreciate her willingness & courage to discuss her experiences & challenges with menopause. And, I also appreciate that you gave such great tips & took the time to make this tutorial for those of us that are in Deborah's same situation. Sending light & love your way.🌹
+candice bergstrom I'm so glad I saw your reply to this, I didn't go through a hysterectomy but menopause hit me way earlier than expected. When we tried to get pregnant years ago they said I would menopause early and my mom menopaused at 45 so I thought that would be my deal. I have been going through menopause for going on 4 years now and I'm turning 43 next month. I started at 39 and I have been taking bioidentical hormones since then. The problem with me is that they work for a few months, I have no hot flashes( and I get them all day every day between 40 min.-1 hr. apart), no depression, no mood swings( rage) and I sleep through the whole night, which I can't remember what that feels like. When they stop working each time my hot flashes get progressively worse. I used to just get hot behind the neck, face and chest, than they moved all the way south and now....I'm sweating with each one. I think my biggest thing is that I'm not sleeping so I have bags and blue/purple under my eyes worse than I ever have and can't seem to find a concealer to cover them right( I have a whole drawer full, lol) and my eyebrows aren't growing back no matter what I use on them to get them to grow back. I just had a huge boohoofest last night with my hubby about not feeling sexy anymore even though I'm working out and my body is looking better, the fact that everything else on me feels old doesn't help. He's so patient with me with everything but he says he hates that I waste so much time that we could be spending together, putting makeup on. My makeup is very natural but, like you, I have to draw my eyebrows in or just fill them empty spots up and that takes time because sometimes they cooperate( my MUA friend says they are sisters not twins, well sometimes mine look like distant cousins or not related at all, lol) and other times they don't. I'm trying so hard to hide the blue/purple under my eyes that it takes me forever. I tried to explain that I'm not 20 something with flawless skin and a full nights sleep, it takes more to cover up the uneven skin tone and etc... Anyway, after last night it was nice to read your comment and realize I'm not alone. Debora is lucky in that she doesn't have the deep dark circles under her eyes. I found a new foundation last week after 3 weeks of searching and it's from Exuviance skincare and I found it at ULTA. It's called Exuviance Cover Blend Skincare Foundation. I find that even throught the hot flashes and heat of Texas that it stays on. I don't even need to set it with a setting powder which is really nice. It's not as glowy as what I used to use but it's not completely matte either. If you have an ULTA near you go try it and see what you think. I also found a beautiful blush that just glides on with it and isn't dry and powdery looking. The blush is from BECCA cosmetics and it's called a beach tint, the one I got was Watermelon/Moonstone, it has the highlighter mixed in just a little. I...love..it...I use my small dual fiber MAC brush to apply it. Anyway, I'm writing a book. If you can go try those 2 things out and see what you think.
Very enjoyable video Lisa! Deborah is very fresh and youthful in her appearance and you did a fabulous job accentuating the positive. Please express my thanks to her for her candor and sense of humor. Having a sense of humor is absolutely the best cosmetic out there and an absolute must as we gain maturity. The actual cosmetics are icing on the cake. Thank you!
Wonderful as always! Beautiful make-up and woman. I would recommend her to take some oil fish or Omega 3 every day, I started that and all the symptoms disappeared. I take one gel pill every day, and no more sweating, no more anything, if this can help. I have a dry skin too, so thank you for the tips.
At 44 you are a long way off from the menopause. You are looking at 50-54 so enjoy a flush-free life while you can. Hey, there's always HRT. It practically eradicates the flushes.
What a great video! I have a lot of the same issues... desert dry skin, sparse lashes, poor vision... and oh, the chin hairs! It was like one day none of my makeup was appropriate for my skin.
Oh my gosh I had no idea that is why the pigment changes on the sides of my neck and my chest are so bad. When you said menopause brings out all the pigment from past sun damage, yes!!! It all makes sense now. I couldn't figure out why it was looking so horrible in the recent years, darn menopause!! (been going through it for two years). Wow, it feels so good to know what is going on! Thank you!!
I had PCOS and (as a result) a full hysterectomy at age 25. That was 6 years ago. I definitely went through something very similar to menopause until I got my hormone replacement straightened out. It can be a very trying ordeal, for sure. I thought the comment about Conchita Wurst was a little uncalled for.
Sorry to hear you have been through so much at such a young age. I wish you all the very best. X ps We are huge fans of Conchita here and no ill was meant
I didn't have PCOS, but I had ovarian cancer. I also had my ovaries removed. I was 23 and forced into menopause. I share your pain! My hair, skin, weight, and mood all changed.
Oi ! Eu tenho 32 anos , sou maquiadora profissional e há 4 anos passei por uma gastroplastia e eliminei 62 quilos. Fora isso retirei um ovário e mina pele ficou horrivel.Extremamente seca e sem vida. Uso Embryolisse e Cicaplast da La Roche posair e melhorou bastante. Meu instagram @cassiamelomua
I'm 22, nowhere near menopause but I just LOVED watching this. It was so soothing to listen to you, Deborah, talking with humor about something that happens to us all. :) Makes it not so daunting to grow older!
Lisa Eldridge Haha! That's funny. By the way Lisa, thanks for making videos about the healing qualities of make up. Make up isn't all about vanity and glamour. Most of the time, when I do client's make up, an inner transformation occurs where they become more confident and believe in themselves again. It's as if visualizing the best version of their outer selves lights a fire within.
I enjoyed and learned a lot by watching the video. I live in Ecuador, South America, and I found it very funny that despite the distance women over 50 years aré suffering the same things! I had long and wonderful eyelashes that have shrunk, and can't see enough to put on my makeup and many other things that said Debora that made me laugh because the same thing happens to me!
Thanks for this Lisa. I love this subtle make up look. I especially like the eyes. Beautiful lady, both before and after. Will take these hints on board. :-) Helen
I just wanted to thank both Lisa and Debora for this video. She looks stunning and how her resting face has a such a lovely smile to it is just so beautiful. My mother has already moved past menopause but I see her not being happy as she looks into the mirror and it is rather heart breaking when everybody else thinks she's just gorgeous and she cannot see it the way we can. I hope by helping being her as her on hand make up artist and using the tips and tricks Lisa teaches us I can make her happy with herself again. Lots of love to you all.
Excellent video Lisa. I strongly recommend Hormone Replacement Therapy but that is a personal decision everyone needs to make with their doctor. Beautiful. ♥ Elle
Lisa, if I may say so, you are the Tolkien of Make-Up. Tell your friend that she can find special glasses to apply make-up. I remember there was a classmate in my make-up artistry course who was around 65 years old and she went to a optician's shop to ask for advice on getting a pair of glasses to apply make-up. I don't remember now how they are called, but she was able to lift the crystal on one side and use brushes on her eye while leaving the other crystal on (to be able to see what she was doing of course). I live in Argentina, so I think you guys in the UK would have no problem finding something similar. xx
So many fantastic tips for beautiful over 50 or menopausal ladies. Have you any suggestions for those of us who wear glasses full time. Some glasses can magnify eyes.
Thank you Lisa for do this video! I loved Deborah , I live the same problems since I received the diagnosis of early menopause when I turned 38. At first I was startled by the heat, I thought I was having a stroke hahaha My doctor was very gentle and attentive to me because he knew it was difficult for someone young go through all this . Always had good humor and , like Debora , amuse me with the challenge . Play with everything and give funny answers to people is a way to go through it more easily . I won the magnifying mirror of my husband , he has always done everything to help me , is patient and does not tire of saying that I am still beautiful and the great love of his life . It makes my heart warm . I do not do hormone replacement for medical advice (I have relatives who have had problems ) then I make use of foods that help , Tofu , soya and nuts. In the most ? Have fun, we are alive and full of health, have passed by menstruation is now easier ... Kisses from Brazil
I've all but given up on makeup because of hot flashes. I can't take an HRT so I suffer the full gambet of symptoms. Thank you so much for doing this video! It's several years old and still relevant!
Lisa can you speak to the problem of covering/camouflaging what I call 'sinkers' under the eyes ... I have the reverse issue of 'puffy eyes' I have depressions (semi-circular) under my eyes. Thanks, L
I love Deborah so much! You're absolutely stunning. It's so refreshing to see someone with both a glow and natural beauty but with some evidence of aging-- REALNESS. I'm in my early 40s and have seen many MANY changes in the last couple of years, but I am not willing to relegate myself to a place that "older women" are supposed to go-- i.e. disappear. It's so infuriating that to be a natural beauty past your 30s is somehow considered an exception. Revolution!
Thank you so much for this, really appreciate the help. Only one I've found that helps us going through the menopause & more mature look. I can't get away with the ott makeup like I could a few years ago. xx
This is a great video. I'm almost 49 and believe I've just about completed menopause. All my life I've had oily skin but now it's much drier, which makes me happy. As far as aging, my hooded eyelids are not fun to deal with, but it's manageable. For all the younger ladies out there, ask you mother what her experience with menopause was like. More than likely, that's what will happen to you. When you do start having some premenopausal symptoms, don't fight it. After your first hot flash, you 'll know what to expect and it won't seem so terrible. The woman in the video talked about the hot flashes making her sweat. Maybe I'm strange, but I never broke a sweat. It was more like a heat originating from deep inside and spreading out; more like a cold sweat. I carried a bottle of water with me and found that it helped to take a few large drinks when one would start. If you start to stress, try to remember it's only temporary! It's just one of the lovely things about being a woman :) Thanks for this video, Lisa!
Debora is just gorgeous! And I love how Lisa is so encouraging and knowledgeable about skin, skin care and make up. Thank you so much for this awesome video. It gives me hope! (Currently going through menopause and NOT loving it! LOL)
Gorgeous and very funny lady. I had to laugh about her comments about England..I think it has saved my skin from too many wrinkles too!! Loved the tube story too...i've put my make up on there too (always a challenge not to get the mascara wand in your eye)!! Reply ·
Thank you soooo much! I am 57 and always loved (and was very good with) makeup. I have continued to modify and update as the years have gone by, but now the change needs to be a different sort of shift. Thank you for showing the way back to feeling pretty again! You have mad skills...the term 'makeup ARTIST' is certainly apropos at your door. Very best, Dina
i am 48 and right into menopause and i love this. so many handy tips. i want all the products and debora ROCKS!!!! she is making me feel much happier about losing my looks and my marbles! hahaha
+haret0n We aren't "losing our looks and marbles" we are finding new ones! And as to foregetfulness, what were we talking about? I know, it can be annoying, but I get so much more exercise now that I must take several trips to recall what I meant to do (get, put away) the first time. Celebrate your experience and enjoy your new adventures.
Thank you both for this video. Especially you, Lisa, for explaining the whys and wherefores of specific makeup choices. I'm one of those women who stands before makeup counters utterly overwhelmed and then flees, confused and exasperated. This is not the first video of yours I've viewed, Lisa; I've been a subscriber for as long as you've been on TH-cam. But it is the first time I've commented here, and I'll end with this: What you offer here is a true public service. You are generous with your time and talent, and we are better off as a result. BTW: Is Debora from New York originally?
The strength of the advice here is the simplicity which you use= Techniques and type of make-up. Very few of us can get away with a lot of it after lines have appeared ...(uppisbeads59 being one of them!).... Debora looks charming & beautiful....Even more so after you r make-up!!!! Her sense of humour is a bonus Thank you both very much, it is great to know that we over 50s are not forgotten. PS. I was lucky, I had no hot flushes or anything..welll= perhaps a bit dipsey but nothing serious!!!!! I feel lucky.
I am so grateful to have found this video! I have been searching or exactly the information that is contained in this episode. I am starting to experience the onset of menopause and I have no grandmother, mother, Aunt or older sister to ask. Videos like this validate the female experience instead of denying it. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much XOXOXOXO for talking about makeup for us ladies who are experiencing menopause. It is refreshing and desperately needed. Menopause is challenging enough without all of the changes in our skin. It is a blessing that you believe that is older women are still beautiful. Thank you and many blessings.
Thanks for this video Lisa! I had an 'Ah ha' moment when Debora spoke about watery eyes. I didn't event connect that it could be b/c of my menopause. And I love the eye primer tip on the upper lip. It. So frustrating to get my makeup done, and set and then my lip breaks into a waterfall. My solution was to powder and then found myself removing everything to start all over again. Thanks to Debora for being so honest, I can identify with EVERYTHING she spoke of. It's refreshing to know I'm not alone... As I write this I am in the middle of a hot flash😅
You are beautiful. I can relate to almost everything you were saying about menopause, except the hairy chin. Lol. Thank you so much for doing this video.
Debora looks so fresh-faced and lovely! Thank you for sharing this video Lisa! I've always loved episodes of 10 Years Younger where your work was featured. You have a real gift for enabling women to age gracefully. It's so nice to know what techniques and products work best as one ages. I'm sure other baby boomers would agree that we hope to see more videos like this. Again, thank you Lisa for sharing!
What a beautiful makeover! I just happened upon your channel when I saw the topic and I am also dealing with these issues. I have now subscribed because it takes true talent to vary your makeovers to fit the client. So many muas would have tried to make her over to look "younger" which is just the worst. Of course her skin is absolutely gorgeous! Looking forward to more of your videos. Thank you!
Deborah, I was shocked to just read that you are 56! I seriously thought you were a good ten years younger than that. I am only two years older than you, and definitely look my age, which I don't mind, because I think I look okay. But I would love to look as fresh and youthful as you do. I also wanted to say I share your frustration with no longer being able to see to put your makeup on. But not only has my eyesight gotten profoundly worse, I am now always a little bit shaky. So, even when I use a higher magnification mirror, it's still hard to see my face clearly because I can't hold it still! It's sooooo frustrating! :-) Anyway, thanks so much for letting us watch your "makeover." I think Lisa does a wonderful job with women who have different makeup needs due age, and you looked absolutely stunning.
What a beautiful lady, inside and out! And thanks Lisa its about time women over 20, 30, 40 started getting the products and info they/we need! Beautiful result!
I am also having problems lowering of the vision, I bought a mirror that increases the visibility of 10, it is fantastic and allows me to create detailed makeup on the eyes and lips. I am 47 years old and I still wear makeup every day of my life by improving my skills with the passage of time. Thank you Lisa for your valuable advice, Deborah is still a very pretty woman.
And learn whatever you can Catherine, you'll be there one day. Everyone is very hush hush about menopause, maybe by the time it hits you, there will be wonderful info (videos like this one) out there for you. Thanks for your sympathy and tenderness, we menopausal matrons need it!
Debora has been trying to post this comment but hasnt had any luck so she emailed it to me and here it is:
"Hello team/gang/ community of Lisa Eldridge devotees! I am so pleased to have joined you all. I am afraid to admit I am still more comfortable talking on a telephone than chatting globally with my cyberpals but my 15 year old helped me figure out how to do this. Thank you for your warm comments. I am trying to find a way to print your commentaries up and make wallpaper to cheer me up when those mood swings get too steep.
And thanks for all your suggestions: I have gone out to buy fish oil and serenity cream, primrose oil and now have a 15x mirror. I DID have a 5x one but could not see a thing.As to skin care, if you want to know the truth, I tend to use cheap Vaseline (or whatever is on sale). I put it on most nights as I lie in a bath looking at the ceiling trying to remember what I forgot to do that day. My grandmother used Crisco Lard, a type of cooking fat (this was in the 30’s ,40’s and 50’s). Every once and a while I splash out on a treat from Chanel or something I see Lisa recommend. And thanks for the comments about being too young: I am 56 and have been running on this cheap hormone-depressed petrol for 2 years now. I love that Lisa is helping us look great at all ages. Now if only she could do something about my missing waist and back cleavage!!! "
See below... the 'real' Debora found her way on to here, finally! X
Beautiful!
Lisa Eldridge
genial
Using vaseline/crisco/lard actually has a bit of a truth to it, in that it keeps moisture in the skin. That and sunscreen which Lisa & Debora were talking about in the video. Thank you, Lisa & Debora!
Im taking tamoxifen & therefore going thru the change just wanted to say thank u for broaching the subject x
Does anyone else find these videos very soothing?
This lady is amazing, she handles her menopause so well, with sense of humour and class. I was absolutely in love with her personality and the look was amazingly beautiful, natural... gorgeous!!!! You can be beautiful at any age. Attitude counts too! ! Love your job, Lisa!
She looks stunning even before the makeup!
i hope i look as good as debora when i reach her age. she's gorgeous
I agree, she looks lovely ...and has a great personality too X
Thank you Lisa Eldridge! Finally, a professional make up artist addressing make up for 50+ skin. We need much more help than young ladies who have young, plump, elastic, forgiving skin. More of these please.
This is a fantastic video! Thanks to Deborah for her humorous insights into menopause (she sounds just like me with the eyesight etc)!! She's a gorgeous woman and you showed just the right makeup and many of the same ones I've found to be the best for "mature" skin, as well as some new things I'm going to have to try! Thank you. xo ~angie
Great video beautiful make up
I actually thought of you Angie when she spoke of having trouble putting makeup on with glasses! She needs your makeup glasses:)

Também tenho esse problema, porque uso óculos 24 horas por dia praticamente kkkkkk .

I DID have a 5x one but could not see a thing.As to skin care, if you want to know the truth, I tend to use cheap Vaseline (or whatever is on sale). I put it on most nights as I lie in a bath looking at the ceiling trying to remember what I forgot to do that day. My grandmother used Crisco Lard, a type of cooking fat (this was in the 30’s ,40’s and 50’s). Every once and a while I splash out on a treat from Chanel or something I see Lisa recommend. And thanks for the comments about being too young: I am 56 and have been running on this cheap hormone-depressed petrol for 2 years now. I love that Lisa is helping us look great at all ages. Now if only she could do something about my missing waist and back cleavage!!!
it's ridiculous how it's not necessarily seen as an "okay" thing to be putting on makeup in public but also as women, we're expected to appear somewhat presentable at almost all times... I heard there are men who judges women for not putting on any makeup at all!
I think applying makeup on the tube is a smart use of time.
Lin Phillips I think so too!
I used to get compliments from my fellow commuters on my daily "bus makeovers"!
What a gorgeous, humorous and intelligent woman Debora is.. she shines..
Wow she is so lovely!!! I am going to show this to my mom :)
oh thats great, thanks : ) X
Beautiful lady, inside and out! Would love to know her skincare routine.
I can't believe someone commented on her applying her make up on the tube. He's the rude one. At least she wasn't driving to work and applying it in the car. I hate how some men get annoyed when women wear make up and other men expect us to. The worst part is there's nothing I can do that will piss them both off :P
Ikr???? he cares about women applying makeup but not those weirdos picking their nose??
I really love watching women put their make-up on, on the tube. It's interesting to see what they do and what effect they achieve (though not always good!). I'm always tempted to strike up a full-on make-up conversation. Make-up is the best thing about being female. I can't think why anyone would be offended by someone doing their face on the train. It's completely practical - and the light is pretty good, too.
Eve Chen lol
I'm only 14 but I will still sit here and enjoy any of your videos no matter how long and no matter what subject, they're just so relaxing and educational :) x
I m 17 and doing the same lol I just live watching her work
I agree, I'm not close to having menopause but I find this kind of tip helpful because I'm sure we will go through this at one point in our lives.
***** exactly, also I really like the lady getting her make up done "now I can sweat in peace" lol
I feel the exact same, I am also 14 but I will continue to watch all of Lisa's videos :)
I'm on the other side. At 52, most of her models are way younger and she's using looks that I probably wouldn't. But I agree with you. Her voice is so soothing, and I love her videos. :-)
Deb is crazy gorgeous and funny too! Please do more videos with her! Like more make-up looks or something!
Debora is the most stunning menopausal woman I have ever seen. All of us women have this to come, glad to hear Debora share her experiences with a touch of humour!
Deborah looks like she's 40 -- even without makeup! I'm old enough to barely remember menopause -- it gets better, trust me! ;) Great tutorial, as always.
Can Debora share her skin care tips? Her skin is gorgeous
I am 55 years old, I think the biggest challenge of aging is learning to adjust our makeup and keeping our figures.. ...as Debora mentions, seeing becomes a big problem...I also think keeping our skin in the best shape possible helps, without the FIRM canvas...it at least, has to be in good shape....Love the tube story....never get on the wrong side of a woman going through menopause...LOL..Wonderful video...I am always looking for ways to educate women about skin and CHANGING our makeup techniques and products....Thanks for featuring a woman of age, her skin is beautiful! ( oh and lip wrinkles, don't get me started on them)...BISOUS!!
Deborah was much kinder than I would have been. I would have told him that he needs to mind his own business.
My mother doesn't wear make-up and won't let me give her a make over. Must show her this video, the end result was beautiful!! Always love your videos. :)) xx Gillian
What a beautiful woman! And I just love her personality and humor. I would love to see more makeup looks with her - stunning :)
I find tutorials that use models who look like real people rather than those who are classically beautiful, are more helpful personally.
GREAT VIDEO!You are a diamond in a rhinestone world Lisa!This is hardly ever addressed specially by anyone in the beauty/make up industry although aging woman account for more than half of customers/consumers of cosmetics and or services from beauty professionals .
I love this video, you address so many issues women have, young/old. I really want to know how Debora takes care of her skin (apart from living in England as she said :-)) because her skin looks REALLY good. Thanks, Lisa!
Im seeing her tomorrow, Ill ask what she is using to cleanse and moisturise etc at the moment X
mehrunissa ok so she told me she is going to come on here herself and tell all re her skincare etc. Look out for her comments : ) X
Great! Look forward to her comments :-)
she's officially the best model ever be on your channel lisa, well, aside from yourself.
What a stunner! She's gorgeous and her skin was flippin' perfect. Thanks for all the tips. xo, Tracy
There is a lot of trial and error in makeup for maturing skin, the number one thing for me is the crepey eyelids and finding the right eyeliner and tools to make the makeup go on without the skipping marks across the lids. I for one hate the fact that I have to gently pull the skin to even everything out. I would like tips and suggestions and recommendations on application and products in a video. Thanks
What a lovely lady she is! I laughed when you asked if there's anything else you can help her with and she says "You mean in my life?" haha
I am utterly confused by blush, the advice seems to be totally random depending on the make-up artist, place it high, not too low, not on the apples of the cheeks after your 30's, 40's 50's (I'm 58) and yet here you are putting blush on apples of Debora's cheeks to beautiful effect. Could you clarify? Personally, I believe that the problem is that most of the make-up artists here on youtube (which I adore) are all young... :D Debora's make-up is stunning and so well done, thank you.
It really depends on the facial structure (blush placement). Debora still has full cheeks (regardless of age) so it is appropriate.
I'm a teenager (14 years) but I love to watch your videos, I watch every single one because you are gorgeous and your model today is beautiful!
Could you do a video about peach fuzz or facial hair and how to kind of cover it? And how to make make up to not look so cakey or anything like that? :) xx
Did you know Marilyn Monroe had a layer of light coloured peach fuzz all over her face and refused to remove it? She thought it gave her a nice glow on camera. x
I didn't know that, wow. That lady was the queen ;) Are there even ways to remove it ? Like all over the face ? I am just realising that I have literally no idea about all that... x
VeshOfficial There are facial waxes, but unless you really trust it and have good experience with waxing, I recommend against it. I've tried it and on every place I waxed, I broke out like crazy. Looked like a clown for weeks! (thank god for concealers)
VeshOfficial
You can use a depilatory cream like Nair or Veet but I wouldn't recommend that for sensitive skin. Olay also has a good one (I have sensitive skin and the Olay one doesn't burn or break me out). You can also wax it off (I'd have it professionally done). Some girls even have their cheeks threaded. With waxing,depilatory creams and threading it won't grow back coarse or black so you don't have to worry about that. (I'm an Esthetician so I learned all about it in school lol). If you don't want to go the removal route, a good tip is after you apply your foundation and powder take a clean brush and stroke downward lightly on your face so the hairs lay down. Hope this helps!! :)
As you get older you forget that peach fuzz exists, trust me no one is looking at your peach fuzz and everyone has it! Don't go get waxes or anything at 14. I used to be horribly self conscious of peach fuzz and i was convinced i had side burns (actually just my hairline finishing close to my ears). Once you realise no ones actually looking and its totally normal then you'll feel better. It comes with age (i'm 20)
Wow no way she was 56 when they made this video :D she is gorgeous, and she has aged so beautifully just like my mum! I hope when I'm this age I can still look this flawless hahaha
As a sweaty young person I really enjoyed this!
I reached menopause early on, just as I turned 40 (I recently turned 45). I've been using sunscreen religiously since I was 18. There are many things that I just recently began doing like acupressure, oil cleansing method, I naturally have oily skin, but it has normalized somewhat since using OCM. I have gravitated more to the use of BB creams than foundations, as they seem too thick for me now. I am even transitioning in my quest to let my hair grow white, lol. I've had white hair since adolescence, and have been dye-free for almost ten months now. I accepted the aging process with grace, as I've always been young at heart. It was a blessing to see this video, and I hope others find it as helpful as I have.
I've also experienced the same problem with hair breaking off around the hairline.
Deborah, you have some of the most beautiful skin I've ever seen on a menopausal woman. You look absolutely radiant and beautiful.
Absolutely loved this. She was fantastic. Real women telling the truth. There's nothing better. Honestly, she looked great before with her gorgeous skin and even more amazing after. I personally don't think she needs anyone's permission to apply her makeup on the tube. Do what you have to do unapologetically.
Deborah is brilliant. It is so nice to see someone a little older. No offence to the younger ladies out there but 40+ women are under-represented in make up tutorials :) She is very attractive and funny and interesting too. You enhanced her beauty. Also, I bought the Chanel lip pencil recently - I love it - best shade ever. All on your recommendation...
Lisa, you have no idea just how much I needed this tutorial! I'm 36, & have been in menopause for 2 years. I had a hysterectomy, which of course sent me into menopause immediately. It has been very difficult to adapt to. I have hot flashes ALL day long. I live in state that reaches 100+ degrees in the summer. So, makeup has been a real challenge. Sometimes I sweat so badly that by the end of the day, my eyebrows are down by my eyelids! My brows are so thin & sparse, that I have to fill them in, or I look sickly. I relate to Deborah, & very much appreciate her willingness & courage to discuss her experiences & challenges with menopause. And, I also appreciate that you gave such great tips & took the time to make this tutorial for those of us that are in Deborah's same situation. Sending light & love your way.🌹
+candice bergstrom I'm so glad I saw your reply to this, I didn't go through a hysterectomy but menopause hit me way earlier than expected. When we tried to get pregnant years ago they said I would menopause early and my mom menopaused at 45 so I thought that would be my deal. I have been going through menopause for going on 4 years now and I'm turning 43 next month. I started at 39 and I have been taking bioidentical hormones since then. The problem with me is that they work for a few months, I have no hot flashes( and I get them all day every day between 40 min.-1 hr. apart), no depression, no mood swings( rage) and I sleep through the whole night, which I can't remember what that feels like. When they stop working each time my hot flashes get progressively worse. I used to just get hot behind the neck, face and chest, than they moved all the way south and now....I'm sweating with each one. I think my biggest thing is that I'm not sleeping so I have bags and blue/purple under my eyes worse than I ever have and can't seem to find a concealer to cover them right( I have a whole drawer full, lol) and my eyebrows aren't growing back no matter what I use on them to get them to grow back. I just had a huge boohoofest last night with my hubby about not feeling sexy anymore even though I'm working out and my body is looking better, the fact that everything else on me feels old doesn't help. He's so patient with me with everything but he says he hates that I waste so much time that we could be spending together, putting makeup on. My makeup is very natural but, like you, I have to draw my eyebrows in or just fill them empty spots up and that takes time because sometimes they cooperate( my MUA friend says they are sisters not twins, well sometimes mine look like distant cousins or not related at all, lol) and other times they don't. I'm trying so hard to hide the blue/purple under my eyes that it takes me forever. I tried to explain that I'm not 20 something with flawless skin and a full nights sleep, it takes more to cover up the uneven skin tone and etc... Anyway, after last night it was nice to read your comment and realize I'm not alone. Debora is lucky in that she doesn't have the deep dark circles under her eyes. I found a new foundation last week after 3 weeks of searching and it's from Exuviance skincare and I found it at ULTA. It's called Exuviance Cover Blend Skincare Foundation. I find that even throught the hot flashes and heat of Texas that it stays on. I don't even need to set it with a setting powder which is really nice. It's not as glowy as what I used to use but it's not completely matte either. If you have an ULTA near you go try it and see what you think. I also found a beautiful blush that just glides on with it and isn't dry and powdery looking. The blush is from BECCA cosmetics and it's called a beach tint, the one I got was Watermelon/Moonstone, it has the highlighter mixed in just a little. I...love..it...I use my small dual fiber MAC brush to apply it. Anyway, I'm writing a book. If you can go try those 2 things out and see what you think.
Omgosh! I'm glad I'm not alone on trying to do eye makeup with glasses! I was about to resort to using a monocle, like Colonel Klink, to do it!
Very enjoyable video Lisa! Deborah is very fresh and youthful in her appearance and you did a fabulous job accentuating the positive. Please express my thanks to her for her candor and sense of humor. Having a sense of humor is absolutely the best cosmetic out there and an absolute must as we gain maturity. The actual cosmetics are icing on the cake. Thank you!
Your friend is gorgeous and so funny !
Love this conversation :-)
I love Deborah!!!
She's a very very lovely lady, :D
Yes she is X
Wonderful as always! Beautiful make-up and woman.
I would recommend her to take some oil fish or Omega 3 every day, I started that and all the symptoms disappeared. I take one gel pill every day, and no more sweating, no more anything, if this can help.
I have a dry skin too, so thank you for the tips.
I want to be Debora when I grow up, she's FABULOUS.
I'm 55 yrs old and this was a great video and Deborah is beautiful!
My grandmother called her hot flashes "my private summer" which sounds so much nicer!
Debora, you are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this with us! I am 44 and not there yet, but this needs to be discussed more! xx V.
At 44 you are a long way off from the menopause. You are looking at 50-54 so enjoy a flush-free life while you can. Hey, there's always HRT. It practically eradicates the flushes.
Actually u could have it early! A friend of mine is having hot flashes at 40!
What a great video! I have a lot of the same issues... desert dry skin, sparse lashes, poor vision... and oh, the chin hairs! It was like one day none of my makeup was appropriate for my skin.
Oh my gosh I had no idea that is why the pigment changes on the sides of my neck and my chest are so bad. When you said menopause brings out all the pigment from past sun damage, yes!!! It all makes sense now. I couldn't figure out why it was looking so horrible in the recent years, darn menopause!! (been going through it for two years). Wow, it feels so good to know what is going on! Thank you!!
I had PCOS and (as a result) a full hysterectomy at age 25. That was 6 years ago. I definitely went through something very similar to menopause until I got my hormone replacement straightened out. It can be a very trying ordeal, for sure.
I thought the comment about Conchita Wurst was a little uncalled for.
Sorry to hear you have been through so much at such a young age. I wish you all the very best. X ps We are huge fans of Conchita here and no ill was meant
Lisa Eldridge
Thank you, Lisa. =)
I didn't have PCOS, but I had ovarian cancer. I also had my ovaries removed. I was 23 and forced into menopause. I share your pain! My hair, skin, weight, and mood all changed.
smartsoe123
I'm so sorry to hear that. I had endometriosis during that time too. Awful to go through that at such a young age.
Oi ! Eu tenho 32 anos , sou maquiadora profissional e há 4 anos passei por uma gastroplastia e eliminei 62 quilos. Fora isso retirei um ovário e mina pele ficou horrivel.Extremamente seca e sem vida. Uso Embryolisse e Cicaplast da La Roche posair e melhorou bastante. Meu instagram @cassiamelomua
I'm 22, nowhere near menopause but I just LOVED watching this. It was so soothing to listen to you, Deborah, talking with humor about something that happens to us all. :) Makes it not so daunting to grow older!
Debora looks EXACTLY like actress Embeth Davidtz. So beautiful. :')
oh you know something, I did Embeth's make-up years ago in LA and you're right, they are very similar! X
Lisa Eldridge Haha! That's funny. By the way Lisa, thanks for making videos about the healing qualities of make up. Make up isn't all about vanity and glamour. Most of the time, when I do client's make up, an inner transformation occurs where they become more confident and believe in themselves again. It's as if visualizing the best version of their outer selves lights a fire within.
I enjoyed and learned a lot by watching the video. I live in Ecuador, South America, and I found it very funny that despite the distance women over 50 years aré suffering the same things! I had long and wonderful eyelashes that have shrunk, and can't see enough to put on my makeup and many other things that said Debora that made me laugh because the same thing happens to me!
LOL!!! She has a fantastic sense of humor. I think she's a beautiful woman.
Debra is gorgeous. End of. And I would love to live in England except all that swimming to get across the pond would wear me out.
Thanks for this Lisa. I love this subtle make up look. I especially like the eyes. Beautiful lady, both before and after. Will take these hints on board. :-) Helen
I just wanted to thank both Lisa and Debora for this video. She looks stunning and how her resting face has a such a lovely smile to it is just so beautiful. My mother has already moved past menopause but I see her not being happy as she looks into the mirror and it is rather heart breaking when everybody else thinks she's just gorgeous and she cannot see it the way we can. I hope by helping being her as her on hand make up artist and using the tips and tricks Lisa teaches us I can make her happy with herself again. Lots of love to you all.
Excellent video Lisa. I strongly recommend Hormone Replacement Therapy but that is a personal decision everyone needs to make with their doctor. Beautiful. ♥ Elle
Isn't Lisa the best.
Lisa, if I may say so, you are the Tolkien of Make-Up. Tell your friend that she can find special glasses to apply make-up. I remember there was a classmate in my make-up artistry course who was around 65 years old and she went to a optician's shop to ask for advice on getting a pair of glasses to apply make-up. I don't remember now how they are called, but she was able to lift the crystal on one side and use brushes on her eye while leaving the other crystal on (to be able to see what she was doing of course). I live in Argentina, so I think you guys in the UK would have no problem finding something similar. xx
oh gosh I love this lady's sense of humor! I wish I have such sense of humor when I'm her age. Great job Lisa :)
So many fantastic tips for beautiful over 50 or menopausal ladies. Have you any suggestions for those of us who wear glasses full time. Some glasses can magnify eyes.
I have a video all about makeup for glasses (which covers magnifying lenses): th-cam.com/video/arh5ODTuAm8/w-d-xo.html hope it helps X
Lisa, your friend has beautiful skin. Very good tips and nice, light & airy makeup. I enjoyed this video. xo Kat frim New England, USA
Thank you Lisa for do this video!
I loved Deborah , I live the same problems since I received the diagnosis of early menopause when I turned 38. At first I was startled by the heat, I thought I was having a stroke hahaha My doctor was very gentle and attentive to me because he knew it was difficult for someone young go through all this . Always had good humor and , like Debora , amuse me with the challenge . Play with everything and give funny answers to people is a way to go through it more easily .
I won the magnifying mirror of my husband , he has always done everything to help me , is patient and does not tire of saying that I am still beautiful and the great love of his life .
It makes my heart warm .
I do not do hormone replacement for medical advice (I have relatives who have had problems ) then I make use of foods that help , Tofu , soya and nuts.
In the most ? Have fun, we are alive and full of health, have passed by menstruation is now easier ...
Kisses from Brazil
I've all but given up on makeup because of hot flashes. I can't take an HRT so I suffer the full gambet of symptoms. Thank you so much for doing this video! It's several years old and still relevant!
Lisa can you speak to the problem of covering/camouflaging what I call 'sinkers' under the eyes ... I have the reverse issue of 'puffy eyes' I have depressions (semi-circular) under my eyes. Thanks, L
I love Deborah so much! You're absolutely stunning. It's so refreshing to see someone with both a glow and natural beauty but with some evidence of aging-- REALNESS. I'm in my early 40s and have seen many MANY changes in the last couple of years, but I am not willing to relegate myself to a place that "older women" are supposed to go-- i.e. disappear. It's so infuriating that to be a natural beauty past your 30s is somehow considered an exception. Revolution!
Debora is absolutely stunning!
je t adore tu est la meilleure ! tu as du talent,tu est humble,douce gentille une belle personne mouah
Lisa's every work on mature women takes 10-15 years off them. Stunning! Great talent and skills!
Thank you so much for this, really appreciate the help. Only one I've found that helps us going through the menopause & more mature look. I can't get away with the ott makeup like I could a few years ago. xx
This is a great video. I'm almost 49 and believe I've just about completed menopause. All my life I've had oily skin but now it's much drier, which makes me happy. As far as aging, my hooded eyelids are not fun to deal with, but it's manageable. For all the younger ladies out there, ask you mother what her experience with menopause was like. More than likely, that's what will happen to you. When you do start having some premenopausal symptoms, don't fight it. After your first hot flash, you 'll know what to expect and it won't seem so terrible. The woman in the video talked about the hot flashes making her sweat. Maybe I'm strange, but I never broke a sweat. It was more like a heat originating from deep inside and spreading out; more like a cold sweat. I carried a bottle of water with me and found that it helped to take a few large drinks when one would start. If you start to stress, try to remember it's only temporary! It's just one of the lovely things about being a woman :) Thanks for this video, Lisa!
Debora is just gorgeous! And I love how Lisa is so encouraging and knowledgeable about skin, skin care and make up. Thank you so much for this awesome video. It gives me hope! (Currently going through menopause and NOT loving it! LOL)
her skin is so beautiful!!
Gorgeous and very funny lady. I had to laugh about her comments about England..I think it has saved my skin from too many wrinkles too!! Loved the tube story too...i've put my make up on there too (always a challenge not to get the mascara wand in your eye)!!
Reply ·
Thank you soooo much! I am 57 and always loved (and was very good with) makeup. I have continued to modify and update as the years have gone by, but now the change needs to be a different sort of shift. Thank you for showing the way back to feeling pretty again! You have mad skills...the term 'makeup ARTIST' is certainly apropos at your door. Very best, Dina
i am 48 and right into menopause and i love this. so many handy tips. i want all the products and debora ROCKS!!!! she is making me feel much happier about losing my looks and my marbles! hahaha
+haret0n We aren't "losing our looks and marbles" we are finding new ones! And as to foregetfulness, what were we talking about? I know, it can be annoying, but I get so much more exercise now that I must take several trips to recall what I meant to do (get, put away) the first time. Celebrate your experience and enjoy your new adventures.
i did this makeup for my mom.. and she loved it!!
Thank you both for this video. Especially you, Lisa, for explaining the whys and wherefores of specific makeup choices. I'm one of those women who stands before makeup counters utterly overwhelmed and then flees, confused and exasperated. This is not the first video of yours I've viewed, Lisa; I've been a subscriber for as long as you've been on TH-cam. But it is the first time I've commented here, and I'll end with this: What you offer here is a true public service. You are generous with your time and talent, and we are better off as a result. BTW: Is Debora from New York originally?
She is beautiful and the Make Up...STUNNING!! This is so much prettier than all those ultra cakey tutorials with 100000 products on youtube :)
The strength of the advice here is the simplicity which you use= Techniques and type of make-up.
Very few of us can get away with a lot of it after lines have appeared ...(uppisbeads59 being one of them!)....
Debora looks charming & beautiful....Even more so after you r make-up!!!! Her sense of humour is a bonus Thank you both very much, it is great to know that we over 50s are not forgotten.
PS. I was lucky, I had no hot flushes or anything..welll= perhaps a bit dipsey but nothing serious!!!!! I feel lucky.
She is AMAZING and wouldn't be worry to Go out with no make up on because she is gorgeous exactly the way she is! Ps. Your laugh is sooo sweet!
I am so grateful to have found this video! I have been searching or exactly the information that is contained in this episode. I am starting to experience the onset of menopause and I have no grandmother, mother, Aunt or older sister to ask. Videos like this validate the female experience instead of denying it. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much XOXOXOXO for talking about makeup for us ladies who are experiencing menopause. It is refreshing and desperately needed. Menopause is challenging enough without all of the changes in our skin. It is a blessing that you believe that is older women are still beautiful. Thank you and many blessings.
Thanks for this video Lisa! I had an 'Ah ha' moment when Debora spoke about watery eyes. I didn't event connect that it could be b/c of my menopause. And I love the eye primer tip on the upper lip. It. So frustrating to get my makeup done, and set and then my lip breaks into a waterfall. My solution was to powder and then found myself removing everything to start all over again.
Thanks to Debora for being so honest, I can identify with EVERYTHING she spoke of. It's refreshing to know I'm not alone... As I write this I am in the middle of a hot flash😅
Love the dialogue with these two, I'm feeling educated and enjoying this personality of this model. She's funny.
Her skin is better than a 20 year old!
shes so lovely!
She doesn't look old enough to be in the menopause! very pretty and lovely skin
You are beautiful. I can relate to almost everything you were saying about menopause, except the hairy chin. Lol. Thank you so much for doing this video.
Debora looks so fresh-faced and lovely! Thank you for sharing this video Lisa!
I've always loved episodes of 10 Years Younger where your work was featured. You have a real gift for enabling women to age gracefully. It's so nice to know what techniques and products work best as one ages. I'm sure other baby boomers would agree that we hope to see more videos like this.
Again, thank you Lisa for sharing!
What a beautiful makeover! I just happened upon your channel when I saw the topic and I am also dealing with these issues. I have now subscribed because it takes true talent to vary your makeovers to fit the client. So many muas would have tried to make her over to look "younger" which is just the worst. Of course her skin is absolutely gorgeous! Looking forward to more of your videos. Thank you!
Deborah, I was shocked to just read that you are 56! I seriously thought you were a good ten years younger than that. I am only two years older than you, and definitely look my age, which I don't mind, because I think I look okay. But I would love to look as fresh and youthful as you do. I also wanted to say I share your frustration with no longer being able to see to put your makeup on. But not only has my eyesight gotten profoundly worse, I am now always a little bit shaky. So, even when I use a higher magnification mirror, it's still hard to see my face clearly because I can't hold it still! It's sooooo frustrating! :-) Anyway, thanks so much for letting us watch your "makeover." I think Lisa does a wonderful job with women who have different makeup needs due age, and you looked absolutely stunning.
What a beautiful lady, inside and out! And thanks Lisa its about time women over 20, 30, 40 started getting the products and info they/we need! Beautiful result!
Ladies, if you are experiencing hot flashes, use beautiful hand-held FANS! They are very effective and so much safer than HRT!
I bought this : www.ebay.com/itm/Portable-Handheld-Mini-Fan-Super-Mute-Battery-Operated-Summer-Cooler-Cooling-Fan-/400911295968
Haha the end of the video - "I can go away and sweat in peace" :D Lovely video Lisa!
I am also having problems lowering of the vision, I bought a mirror that increases the visibility of 10, it is fantastic and allows me to create detailed makeup on the eyes and lips. I am 47 years old and I still wear makeup every day of my life by improving my skills with the passage of time. Thank you Lisa for your valuable advice, Deborah is still a very pretty woman.
Lisa, your model is awesome. I love her candor and willingness to share the challenges. Of course, you did an incredible job. However, she is lovely.
OMG, her skin is FABULOUS. I am so jealous. She is lovely. I love the chatty format.
what a beautiful hilarious woman! we'd love to see her more
Debora's very beautiful. Thank you for this video because it helps me to be more sympathetic and tender towards my elders.
And learn whatever you can Catherine, you'll be there one day. Everyone is very hush hush about menopause, maybe by the time it hits you, there will be wonderful info (videos like this one) out there for you. Thanks for your sympathy and tenderness, we menopausal matrons need it!
Just Beautiful! What a gorgeous woman!!!
