I was an aesthetician & make artist for 30 plus Years I’m 70 now and disable ,so haven’t been in business for over 20 years. Watching you brings back fond memories and I learning so much from you at this age. Thanks Nikol you’re incredible!! Cecilia
I love how you just talk to us ladies as if we're your girlfriend's, I love your tips, very helpful. As far as people making rude remarks about your eyebrows, jealousy is an ugly thing I think they're perfect I think you're beautiful and thanks for everything you do for us
Whoever says ANYTHING mean about you is just jealous or mean. You are terrific. You are real and you've shared some very personal things. I mean, going stark naked (no makeup) for the world to see... now, that's real and brave. I love watching you. found you when I grew my long, brown hair out to silver ... it only took two months... but I cut it into a sassy, short do. I get stopped by people who tell me it looks terrific. Wish I could send you a picture, Nikol, because you have inspired and taught me. First found you when I was growing out my brown hair to silver/gray and didn't know what to do with shampoos and makeup choices with the new, improved look.
I am a cosmetologist, out of work, mostly since covid, and have gotten very beige. Thank You so much for reminding me of who I want to be in the world, and bringing that to my clients!
Your channel is fantastic! I love that it caters to mature women and your information is the best I’ve seen on TH-cam. You always come across warm and excited about what you’re doing. You are beautiful too. The ad hominem attacks are completely uncalled for. If someone wants to comment on your content or make a suggestion, fine, but there really is no room for ad hominem attacks against you. You are gorgeous just the way you are. Your brows , your hair are yours. We are all different . These women that feel it’s ok to insult you would never do it to your face and are probably envious of you, your looks and your success.
I have just found you today but I have watched about 6 of your videos in a row and they are all great! You really do just use things YOU would use! No more younger how to videos for me anymore so thank you for being so refreshingly honest! Keep them coming!
Nikol, I can not say it enough, I love that you are natural and I adore you for celebrating aging!!! We both might just be the only “ natural “ no injections or invasive procedures on TH-cam😉 I enjoy watching and supporting. An extra skin hint, put a light layer of Vaseline on your skin almost like a mask if your dry, olive oil works as well( EVOO also has squalane an amazing antioxidant) have a beautiful day Nikol and everyone 🙌🏻🍑Lisa Peaches Skin Care
I L💕VE your brows! They are special, unique, envious and gorgeous!!!! I hope you see this and think of it when someone (who clearly must be perfect to the point they feel they should disrespect someone else’s face!! 🤬) and feel amazing about your beautiful brows! 👩🏼🏫
I think you and your viewers will appreciate this. I am 13 months into my gray hair journey. I've had compliments on my hair but none I could 100 % contribute to color until today. Someone asked me is that your natural color? I answered with the exception of these few small blonde strands left. She said your color is so beautiful. It took me more than 5 years to start my journey and 15 months to get where I am today. Her comments made it all worth it. What power her compliment meant to me. #powerofgray
I like how you just highlight your natural beauty. I enjoy your videos because you go right to the point, and you are not using tons of makeup to be what you really don't look like. That's the purpose of makeup. It's just to enhance our real beauty. Thank you for your tips and efforts. Keep strong!
Your brows are not "manly", they are just Mediterranean and that's beautiful! Like Maria Callas, Irini Papas, Ellie Lambeti, Melina Mercouri (a few examples of famous Greek ladies), many Greek women and girls have natural thick, velvety, healthy eyebrows like this, it's gorgeous :) Also in Italy, Spain, southern France... Mediterranean beauty! And in many other parts of the world, actually. Look at photos of Jackie Kenned/ Onassis. So sad to see how ignorant some people can be.
I’m new to this channel, Nikol, and loving what I see. Super tips and your eyebrows are lovely. People need to stop being negative, and start focusing on speaking words which are constructive. Ladies, let’s lift and build each other up!!!
Comments regarding your brows are JEALOUS! I know lots of women who pencil in (not always well) brows like yours. I love your tutorials. They make sense for women my age (64). I think you are the bomb! Thanx for helping me
I have received YEARS of comments about my eyebrows too. Have dark full/bushy ones like you. I love them, but in the 90's I was really, really harrassed. Now, it's the jealous people telling me that I still need to do something. geez, I wish they would just shuttie. I love my eyebrows which is why I never plucked the heck out of them in the first place.
I, too, have very bushy dark eyebrows. My Dad didn't "believe" in wearing makeup or plucking eyebrows. ( So sad, he just died of Covid- 19). I also received many negative comments when I was a teenager. Later, I plucked only the stray hairs, so I never had the problem of thinning eyebrows until I developed hypothyroidism.( My hair was thinning, also.) Now that that is corrected, my eyebrows are a little thinner and unruly on the ends. I am 67. I still just pluck the stray hairs, as usual, and fill in with a small amount of light brown brow color using fluffy upward strokes, not solid like the young girls do. I quit using hair color. My hair is only gray in the front, like my Mom's. I started eating more vegetables and took hair and nail vitamins. Finally my hair is much thicker, and the ends of my eyebrows came back.
dang, you are stunningly beautiful without makeup. great tips. i have been using lipstick as blush for about a year and it looks so much more natural than powdered blush. i am 65, but have no actual wrinkles, just some tiny expression lines. since i retired i rarely wear any makeup and my skin has greatly improved. i never caked on the foundation because it felt as if my skin was smothering, but now i wear even less. less is more for those of us "of a certain age" because mutton should never try to look like lamb.
Oh my goodness...have me laughing in stitches! You are such an incredible teacher & with a sense of humor. Yes some of us Greeks are blessed with a little extra...hair, hips. I started watching you when I started my grey journey and wanted to see what to expect. You’ve taught me about makeup application on my 56 year young self & so much more! Thank you.
Great tips! When I was younger, I used to use powder blushes only because my skin used to be really oily especially in my T-Zone area. Now, in my sixties , my skin has changed; gone from oily to a bit dry. I was afraid of cream blushes, for whatever reason, but now I can't do without them! I love the way cream blushes literally melt into the skin and causes a Natural Glow that can't be beat with powder! As for your eyebrows...people can be ridiculous and far too often these days, overly critical of others and yet insensitive to their own needs...such as being mannered! Little do ppl realize... sometimes we need to apply "cosmetics" to our inner beauty before we apply to our outer beauty! Emerson once wrote: "though we travel the world in search of the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not!" (PS: Really happy for you re the dermatologist; good news!) ❤
I really love your channel. It is refreshing to see you doing makeup the way we did when we were younger (we are the same age) & not the 17 million colors of shadow that the young'uns seem to be preaching. I never cared about taking care of my skin when I was younger so it's only been about 18 months maybe 2 years & my skin has really come a long way. I really love that skincare is not separate but part of your makeup routine. The only complaint I have about ANY of your videos is when you zoom in to show a process of something, it looks cloudy. You are trying to show important details that get lost. At our age we need to be able to see that definition & sharpness but that gets lost in that haze that gets added artificially & I'm sure I can't be the only one that has that happening with failing eyesight naturally.... Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration & it is great to have an advocate for older people. I don't feel so irrelevant after watching your videos & that says a lot! Thank you & Good Bless you & yours!
@@janicefield9671 I know. It’s just sad that girls/ladies/women can’t support each other in this day and time. I’m truly mesmerized by Nikol every time I watch her videos.
Full brows, including yours, always remind of old Hollywood glamour. It is timeless. They are very dramatic and frame the face like a masterpiece. Loved your video! Thank you!!
Hi, I have to say yours is the first makeup tutorial that I have seen that hasn't bored me and makes you feel like 'yea this is doable and achievable' and by the way, you look amazing, what is it with greek women, you remind me of Maria Callas, I adore her she is amazing and very classic much like yourself
Great video, the end result of your makeup is just perfect! As a woman over 70 without much of an eyebrow I’d do anything for yours, just beautiful. Please ignore those horrible comments about eyebrows, I’d say jealousy is a curse because you are absolutely beautiful inside and out 💕
You have such beautiful, strong features that a skinnier "shaped" brow would look wrong. I'm 72 and haven't been wearing makeup these last few months (masks and all), but since watching your videos I've started again. It does make me feel a bit better, even if I cover up 2\3 of my face when I go out.
I have just come across your channel and ordered some of your suggested items. I think your eyebrows are great and I appreciate how you encourage us to embrace our age and make the best of it.
I read on a beauty info that older women shouldn’t ever use an eyelash curler or apply any heat to your lashes! I thought NO WAY I curl my lashes everyday! Great eyebrow tips! Thanks 😊
Oh my! I wish I still had my thick plush Italian eyebrows, I miss them!!! Love your plush Greek eyebrows!!! So wonderful watching your enjoying & embracing your beauty! I believe everyone has this amazing opportunity to embrace the skin we're in! Thanks so much for making your channel feel like an embrace! I appreciate you so much Nikol! Sending love & hugs!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ your videos! Turning 70 yrs next week and just returned to makeup. Delighted to find you and your expertise, energy and humor. Oh to have your gorgeous eyebrows!!!
Hi Nikol! I have had issues with lash loss due to an eye condition. I had a dermatologist tell me to stop using an eyelash curler because no matter how careful I was in use my fragile lashes would come out. I seen your tip about applying mascara and using the heated eyelash curler to create lift. I started using a heated eyelash curler and it has worked so well that my eyelashes have started growing back in stronger and longer. Such a revelation that a small change could make my stick straight lashes lift and prevent damage caused by regular eyelash curlers.
Thank you for the eyebrow support. I LOVE my full thick brows. And yours. I loathe plucked silly thin brows that are then colored in. Or worse, not filled in.
Listen, your brows are the envy of every woman...I mean come on, do you know how many brow serums, vitamins and brow makeup I have in my arsenal....I mean women are microblading?!? Hello! Whatever, they jealous. Keep rocking those fabulous au currant brows sounds like those women need to realize it’s 2020, not 1973.
Hi, check out Rosemary oil stirred into a base oil ( coconut /grapefruit/ olive . Check the internet for specifics . Rosemary oil is as good as Minoxidil but with no side effects and far cheaper:) GOD Bless you in CHRIST
Thick eyebrows on older women actually gives us a more youthful look. I paid money to have my brows to look thick like yours. I love them. Money well spent.
I agree! People who criticize your brows are jealous! I used to have full brows ..... until I went to a Mary Kay party. When that sales person got done with her plucking attack, I had pencil lines for eye brows! I've been trying to grow them back in but it is taking forever.
I too have, in someone else’s opinion, “man brows” and love them. I’ve only tweezed to clean up my brows when younger and and glad I did do like everyone else who are now having to pencil them in. I now have beautiful brows. I’m 58 years old.
I just watch this channel because it always give me such an energy boost, promotes good will to my fellow man/woman and Nikol, you are just you! Really appreciated these videos during the last few months in periodic lockdown; yes there is a world out there!!!! This is just a personal comment from my experience with aging and the changes in my body and face which make doing what I did in my 30s and into my late 40s when I could get away with anything, no longer feasible in my mid 60s so what can I do and how do I feel good in my own skin which is a french expression I love. It really is all here for those who are brave and embrace the present. But aspirationally, there are people I find beautiful whom I would be nuts to imitate; and no. physical beauty really isn't as important as the media would have us believe; this channel promotes self-confidence to help navigate life. I love the story of Lillian Hellman, a controversial writer in the '30s seriously into politics and a real warrior who was 5 ft not much and no oil painting as that misogynistic saying goes, and all her lovers madly attached to her. I love the mother/daughter tutorials because my mum is no longer here and I used to do her makeup (she didn't need much help but it was so much fun) and I simply love the interaction. I actually look a lot like my Dad, born in Serbia in 1908 a definite Zorba; Sean Connery, Anthony Quinn and Omar Sharif come to mind. Translate that to a woman's looks and a million things can go wrong. But you will always have ... eyebrows!!! So no I am not now nor will I ever be as beautiful as you Nikol but it was a real bonus because I can imagine myself into a certain style and look that is comfortable, familiar and doable. Would I ever have plastic surgery ... the peskiest thing is the fact that my eyelids have become hooded; I've been out of the sun or sunscreening for yonks so not concerned about anything other than reliable not too complicated skin care. Yes probably and keeping fit and wearing the right kind of clothes for me that will last and where I can find some self-expression and once again, confidence. LONG comment to say, thank you Nikol in Dec 2020 and keep doing what you are doing, total inspiration!!!!!!
I’m 100% sure that Nikol doesn’t give a tinkers cuss about the stupid comments about her eyebrows. I love eyebrows they are always so personal and different for everyone. I wished I’d never plucked mine either but I’m lucky they haven’t become sparse but I do have to pluck the little stragglers out as I have large hooded eyes. Much love to all the natural ladies out there.
I have been enjoying your make up tips & it has changed my life/ look! Thank you! I love your cosmetics and only use them now big difference thank you. I learned some new things with this tutorial that I had not seen before just wonderful. You’re very inspiring and I think you help many many of us women that have gotten a few miles on us ha ha
Nikol, I'm over 55 and I've used a mineral powder foundation and blush for about 15 years. I'm find that it doesn't look as good as it use to. I do a good skin regime and always wear sunscreen so I have a good base. Perhaps it's time for me to try a liquid BB cream or foundation. I was always scared it would look too caked on or heavy but yours look great. You've got me thinking. Lots of other great tips too.
Thank you so much I loved all the tips and enjoyed your energy with regards to making the most of our selves highlighting our own features not just having the cloned look. I’m approaching my 70s thank to you and your mum I’m now going to embrace it and enjoy my make up. How or why should anyone mention your eyebrows you are gorgeous, you are you, as women we are sisters and should support each other. Thank you Nichol
I've used lip pencil as a lipstick also! I've also used lipstick as a blush. I also wear my cream buff beige foundation as a primer on my eye lids . My mascara as a liner every time I wear makeup. It's a side sweep trick I learned online. I love it since it stays in place. I have extremely oily skin that runs down to my eyes lol. Plus watery eyes.
This is the day of the eyebrows....!!! I don't have much of an eyebrow!!! I have let my hair go into the natural color....gray!!! But it's a beautiful color.... more silver than gray. I just don't have a hair style. Your hair is absolutely gorgeous!! The color and the cut is just beautiful on you!! Your eyebrows accentuate your whole look and it's gorgeous!! So I say that anyone who is knocking your eyebrows.... Deep down they're jealous of you and your beautiful look!!! You just keep rocking your look!! Other than my thinning hair and slowly but surely, disappearing eyebrows.... I'm very happy with my looks!! I'm just 6 months away from being 65 and everyone that doesn't know me, guess that I'm only in my 40's. Early 40' s!! I'm not mad!!! My baby sister is over 7years younger than me and people think I'm her baby sister!!! You are just beautiful so just keep poking fun about what negativity of other's comments and know that they're completely jealous of your beauty!!
Thank you for all the tips Nikol! You make it so easy to understand. Thank you for your enthusiasm!! Let me remind you what Cervantes ¨El Quijote¨said to Sancho: ¨They (the dogs) bark Sancho, sign that we ride...¨
Your brows are gorgeous!!!! Those of us who have very little brow would eat our hats to have yours!! Love the video. Always a joy to watch and learn. xoxo Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you and yours. xoxo
I agree with Vicki Good. Your brows are beautiful. I too, have VERY sparse eyebrows. AND, I have embraced my grey and dark hair. Having so much fun with it. You are a jewel. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I gave been watching you for about 6 months now. Wanted to share that I enjoy your videos that review the drugstore makeup and hair products. I have tried your recommendations for both and am elated with the results. You are fabulous. ♥️
Your brows are your signature look❤️ Making them skinny would be too high maintenance. When I was 19, my eyebrows connected in the middle but guys would tell me that it was sexy. I’m Latina with South Asian mixture. So, I have the full eyebrows and never wanted skinny brows. When I used to work as a full time cosmetologist, the lady who did the waxing, talked me into shaping my eyebrows but took off the middle hairs without telling me. The middle never grew back. She waxed my eyebrows so skinny that I wore my glasses until they grew back and never let that woman touch my eyebrows again. Remember Brook Shields? Some people can rock full eyebrows. I’m 57 now and they’re still pretty full. I fill them slightly in with eyeshadow with a flat tipped brush. Biotin supplements help the brows and the eyelashes look thicker. Thank you for sharing your experiences. People can be unkind with negative comments because they don’t understand that beauty comes in all different designs. Going silver is a cool experience. I’m learning a new “me”.
thank you for this tutorial... i like that U kept it still looking natural.. and remind your followers that thicker brows are in style right now.. I luv your brows!. one of the worse things a women can do is tweeze her brows to just a thin line... because perhaps they may never grow back when the thicker brows do come back in.. and remind them that microblading can deteriorate the brow hair follicles and so if microblading a brow is done when very young . they can end up never again having a normal brow.. and remind them that their microblading will more than likely have to be redone about every two to three years... so say U live into your 80's .. think how that will damage the skin badly through the years if that has to be done over and over.. :( .. yep not good.. even certain makeup filled with harmful chemicals can damage brow folicles so healthy natural make up is is so important..
Love love love this thank you I needed this reminder to get my act together By the way Nicole you are beautiful we all need to be told it makes us feel good 😊
Aloha! Nice to see another heated eyelash curler option. My beloved Panasonic died a couple of years ago and I haven’t replaced it. Will give yours a try! 👍 (I have very straight Asian lashes … need all the lift possible!)
So glad you can laugh at the critics, but rest assured your strong brows are essential to what makes *you* beautiful! Thanks for the all-in-one tip review.
I think everyone has something unique to them -- I know you do. Eyebrows are just a thing personal to Nikol and because I inherited mine from my great Dad, I am happy with them but my sis got his hazel/green eyes and from our mum sparse eyebrows and she is gorgeous!
Another victim of "The 90's"?! Join the club! Looking into(4ward2)microblading+/ombrows(Ombre Brows by the G-ds. Fantasy shape, color, semi-permanent lasting 1-3 yrs. Remember: "Overplucked is future fkd." That's a PSA, btw.
I always had great thick brows-had them waxed once every month or two then I hit perimenopause and they got thinner THEN I got menopause and even thinner on the ends. I never had to use eyebrow pencil before, I'm trying to teach myself at 56, it's taken over a year and I'm getting better. I don't like how the "young women" make them too perfect and fake looking-they look nice in photos and FREAKY as hell in person. LoL. I want to see someone's face before I see their make up -if you know what I mean.
Oh My Gosh !!! I received my products and have applied them as per you Make Tricks Video. Makeup Brush Kit = The are the most wonderful and effective makeup brushes that I have use. And, they did not have any chemical smell that I have always encountered before with other brushes , including high-end makeup brushes. And, of course, those chemicals are very irritating to sensitive skin! Eye and Lips Primer = I never used an eye lid primer before. I was totally blown-away with how effective it is. Bottle Blonde Eye Shadow Pallet = WOW !!! No Dark Spots/Highlighter Beauty Stix Corrector = Really effective on my dark under-eye area, without looking made-up. BB Cream = This product is amazing. Goes on beautifully, proving perfect coverage without looking like you have foundation on your face. Upgrade Lip Gloss = Love it. In fact. I love them all. I am going to order more products, including the thee Ever products that you mention at the beginning of you Video. THANK YOU, NIKOL. You are definitely a Ladies’ Lady !!!
“It’s like Spanx for your eyeshadow”- I can assure you I will NEVER AGAIN forget to use eyeshadow primer 😉. Your Mom and you are both beautiful, thanks for all you teach us ❤️
Lol I know right!!!! When I said Spanx in this video it sounded so much better than when I said “It’s like forgetting your underwear” in another video lol
Loved this video!!!! I’m so sorry that some people have nothing better to do than say awful things to others 😢 I personally am in awe with your beauty!!!! What I would give to have eyebrows like yours 💜💜💜 I used to have pretty eyebrows, but sadly they’re fading away.

Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration & it is great to have an advocate for older people. I don't feel so irrelevant after watching your videos & that says a lot! Thank you & Good Bless you & yours!
People can be so mean. You are stunning, even your eyebrows!
Certain people cannot help but say nasty things to put down other people. They are just jealous and mean spirited.
@@janicefield9671 I know. It’s just sad that girls/ladies/women can’t support each other in this day and time. I’m truly mesmerized by Nikol every time I watch her videos.
Very pretty
Your Mom looks fantastic!!!!
I agree! And let me tell you there are plenty of us gals that would kill for eyebrows like Nikol’s!
Full brows, including yours, always remind of old Hollywood glamour. It is timeless. They are very dramatic and frame the face like a masterpiece. Loved your video! Thank you!!
Just the information I was looking for. Love Nikol's knowledge and amazing attitude on older women that honestly no one focuses on.
Watching you makes me want to get up, it’s evening right now, wash my face, take care of my skin, and I can’t wait to apply makeup in the morning
Hi, I have to say yours is the first makeup tutorial that I have seen that hasn't bored me and makes you feel like 'yea this is doable and achievable' and by the way, you look amazing, what is it with greek women, you remind me of Maria Callas, I adore her she is amazing and very classic much like yourself
Great video, the end result of your makeup is just perfect! As a woman over 70 without much of an eyebrow I’d do anything for yours, just beautiful. Please ignore those horrible comments about eyebrows, I’d say jealousy is a curse because you are absolutely beautiful inside and out 💕
Good for you for being true to who you are and not caving into the pressure to thin your eyebrows and be someone else. I love your thick brows!
Thank you 💋
I am rewatching your videos. Reminding myself your teachings.
Thank you for sharing all your tips with us!! You look fantastic!❤
You have such beautiful, strong features that a skinnier "shaped" brow would look wrong. I'm 72 and haven't been wearing makeup these last few months (masks and all), but since watching your videos I've started again. It does make me feel a bit better, even if I cover up 2\3 of my face when I go out.
You are Awesome...💖💖💖 your positivity and humor! You're all around beautiful and generous of spirit. Thank you for all of your content
Your energy is fantastic & encouraging to women, thank you Nikol love from England 🇬🇧❤️xxx
I have just come across your channel and ordered some of your suggested items. I think your eyebrows are great and I appreciate how you encourage us to embrace our age and make the best of it.
“ you little Greek Man on my face today” 😂 I actually spit my coffee with that one…..so so funny..🤣
Lol 😂 😂😂
I read on a beauty info that older women shouldn’t ever use an eyelash curler or apply any heat to your lashes! I thought NO WAY I curl my lashes everyday! Great eyebrow tips! Thanks 😊
Oh my! I wish I still had my thick plush Italian eyebrows, I miss them!!! Love your plush Greek eyebrows!!! So wonderful watching your enjoying & embracing your beauty! I believe everyone has this amazing opportunity to embrace the skin we're in! Thanks so much for making your channel feel like an embrace! I appreciate you so much Nikol! Sending love & hugs!
Great tips! I prepped my 52 year old skin before foundation and it made a huge difference! I also love the lip lining tip. Thanks, Nikol!
I just turned 50 myself. Nikol is awesome! You look amazing! My husband always said that I age like a fine wine, so do you! Xx
@@rosemariemastro-watanabe2000 thank you so much, how kind of you.
Your husband is right. You are gorgeous.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ your videos! Turning 70 yrs next week and just returned to makeup. Delighted to find you and your expertise, energy and humor. Oh to have your gorgeous eyebrows!!!
Hi Nikol! I have had issues with lash loss due to an eye condition. I had a dermatologist tell me to stop using an eyelash curler because no matter how careful I was in use my fragile lashes would come out. I seen your tip about applying mascara and using the heated eyelash curler to create lift. I started using a heated eyelash curler and it has worked so well that my eyelashes have started growing back in stronger and longer. Such a revelation that a small change could make my stick straight lashes lift and prevent damage caused by regular eyelash curlers.
Thank you for the eyebrow support. I LOVE my full thick brows. And yours. I loathe plucked silly thin brows that are then colored in. Or worse, not filled in.
Listen, your brows are the envy of every woman...I mean come on, do you know how many brow serums, vitamins and brow makeup I have in my arsenal....I mean women are microblading?!? Hello! Whatever, they jealous. Keep rocking those fabulous au currant brows sounds like those women need to realize it’s 2020, not 1973.
I have no brows, I would love a 1/4 of hers. ☺️
Oh yes I agree
Hi, check out Rosemary oil stirred into a base oil ( coconut /grapefruit/ olive .
Check the internet for specifics .
Rosemary oil is as good as Minoxidil but with no side effects and far cheaper:)
GOD Bless you in CHRIST
Thick eyebrows on older women actually gives us a more youthful look. I paid money to have my brows to look thick like yours. I love them. Money well spent.
I agree! People who criticize your brows are jealous! I used to have full brows ..... until I went to a Mary Kay party. When that sales person got done with her plucking attack, I had pencil lines for eye brows! I've been trying to grow them back in but it is taking forever.
Nicol, I love your channel. I only found you a few days ago and I can’t stop watching. Thank you xxx
Thank you
I too have, in someone else’s opinion, “man brows” and love them. I’ve only tweezed to clean up my brows when younger and and glad I did do like everyone else who are now having to pencil them in. I now have beautiful brows.
I’m 58 years old.
For every negative brow comment, there are so many more who love your strong shapely brows. Your brows really highlight your beautiful big eyes!
Your eyebrows are one of the things that make you unique. Who wants to look like everyone else on You Tube?
I just watch this channel because it always give me such an energy boost, promotes good will to my fellow man/woman and Nikol, you are just you! Really appreciated these videos during the last few months in periodic lockdown; yes there is a world out there!!!! This is just a personal comment from my experience with aging and the changes in my body and face which make doing what I did in my 30s and into my late 40s when I could get away with anything, no longer feasible in my mid 60s so what can I do and how do I feel good in my own skin which is a french expression I love.
It really is all here for those who are brave and embrace the present. But aspirationally, there are people I find beautiful whom I would be nuts to imitate; and no. physical beauty really isn't as important as the media would have us believe; this channel promotes self-confidence to help navigate life. I love the story of Lillian Hellman, a controversial writer in the '30s seriously into politics and a real warrior who was 5 ft not much and no oil painting as that misogynistic saying goes, and all her lovers madly attached to her.
I love the mother/daughter tutorials because my mum is no longer here and I used to do her makeup (she didn't need much help but it was so much fun) and I simply love the interaction.
I actually look a lot like my Dad, born in Serbia in 1908 a definite Zorba; Sean Connery, Anthony Quinn and Omar Sharif come to mind. Translate that to a woman's looks and a million things can go wrong. But you will always have ... eyebrows!!! So no I am not now nor will I ever be as beautiful as you Nikol but it was a real bonus because I can imagine myself into a certain style and look that is comfortable, familiar and doable. Would I ever have plastic surgery ... the peskiest thing is the fact that my eyelids have become hooded; I've been out of the sun or sunscreening for yonks so not concerned about anything other than reliable not too complicated skin care. Yes probably and keeping fit and wearing the right kind of clothes for me that will last and where I can find some self-expression and once again, confidence. LONG comment to say, thank you Nikol in Dec 2020 and keep doing what you are doing, total inspiration!!!!!!
Evelyn Baron...Wow! What a great writer and "expressionist" you are! I always love to read the comments and replies and yours was wonderful!!
Your video is wonderful. So full of tips, great advice, and beautiful lipstick and lipgloss colors! Thank you very much.
Truly a professional! Thank you for your VALUABLE tips! Now I need to catch up on your videos. Love everything about you!
I’m 100% sure that Nikol doesn’t give a tinkers cuss about the stupid comments about her eyebrows. I love eyebrows they are always so personal and different for everyone. I wished I’d never plucked mine either but I’m lucky they haven’t become sparse but I do have to pluck the little stragglers out as I have large hooded eyes. Much love to all the natural ladies out there.
I have been enjoying your make up tips & it has changed my life/ look! Thank you! I love your cosmetics and only use them now big difference thank you. I learned some new things with this tutorial that I had not seen before just wonderful. You’re very inspiring and I think you help many many of us women that have gotten a few miles on us ha ha
Your videos are so informative! How about showing us your “daily makeup kit”. Paired down with just your essentials for 1 casual everyday face. TY
Another wonderful videos. Your brows are fantastic. Beautiful smart and inspiring as always.
Nikol, I'm over 55 and I've used a mineral powder foundation and blush for about 15 years. I'm find that it doesn't look as good as it use to. I do a good skin regime and always wear sunscreen so I have a good base. Perhaps it's time for me to try a liquid BB cream or foundation. I was always scared it would look too caked on or heavy but yours look great. You've got me thinking. Lots of other great tips too.
Oh my gosh, I have NO brows and I would love to have brows like yours! Glad to hear you ignore the haters!
I love your brows. Haters gonna hate.
Thank you so much I loved all the tips and enjoyed your energy with regards to making the most of our selves highlighting our own features not just having the cloned look. I’m approaching my 70s thank to you and your mum I’m now going to embrace it and enjoy my make up. How or why should anyone mention your eyebrows you are gorgeous, you are you, as women we are sisters and should support each other. Thank you Nichol
I learn so much from your videos. Clear & easy to follow. Thank you!
I've used lip pencil as a lipstick also! I've also used lipstick as a blush. I also wear my cream buff beige foundation as a primer on my eye lids . My mascara as a liner every time I wear makeup. It's a side sweep trick I learned online. I love it since it stays in place. I have extremely oily skin that runs down to my eyes lol. Plus watery eyes.
This is the day of the eyebrows....!!! I don't have much of an eyebrow!!! I have let my hair go into the natural color....gray!!! But it's a beautiful color.... more silver than gray. I just don't have a hair style. Your hair is absolutely gorgeous!! The color and the cut is just beautiful on you!! Your eyebrows accentuate your whole look and it's gorgeous!! So I say that anyone who is knocking your eyebrows.... Deep down they're jealous of you and your beautiful look!!! You just keep rocking your look!! Other than my thinning hair and slowly but surely, disappearing eyebrows.... I'm very happy with my looks!! I'm just 6 months away from being 65 and everyone that doesn't know me, guess that I'm only in my 40's. Early 40' s!! I'm not mad!!! My baby sister is over 7years younger than me and people think I'm her baby sister!!! You are just beautiful so just keep poking fun about what negativity of other's comments and know that they're completely jealous of your beauty!!
Thank you for all the tips Nikol! You make it so easy to understand. Thank you for your enthusiasm!! Let me remind you what Cervantes ¨El Quijote¨said to Sancho: ¨They (the dogs) bark Sancho, sign that we ride...¨
Great teacher, explaining as you go along 👍. Super results 💯
Your brows are gorgeous!!!! Those of us who have very little brow would eat our hats to have yours!! Love the video. Always a joy to watch and learn. xoxo Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you and yours. xoxo
I agree with Vicki Good. Your brows are beautiful. I too, have VERY sparse eyebrows. AND, I have embraced my grey and dark hair. Having so much fun with it. You are a jewel. Thank you.
Your hair AND your eyebrows are spectacular!!
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I gave been watching you for about 6 months now. Wanted to share that I enjoy your videos that review the drugstore makeup and hair products. I have tried your recommendations for both and am elated with the results. You are fabulous. ♥️
Thank you for being who you are, for sharing about yourself, and sharing your cosmetics
You're Beautiful Nikol! Your brows are perfect for your lovely Greek features!!
I think Nikol is a total movie star and I honestly can't imagine anyone critisising sp her looks, never did get that.
Greek women are beautiful.
Thanks Nikol, great tips! Best brows since Brooke Shields!
Your brows are your signature look❤️ Making them skinny would be too high maintenance. When I was 19, my eyebrows connected in the middle but guys would tell me that it was sexy. I’m Latina with South Asian mixture. So, I have the full eyebrows and never wanted skinny brows. When I used to work as a full time cosmetologist, the lady who did the waxing, talked me into shaping my eyebrows but took off the middle hairs without telling me. The middle never grew back. She waxed my eyebrows so skinny that I wore my glasses until they grew back and never let that woman touch my eyebrows again.
Remember Brook Shields? Some people can rock full eyebrows. I’m 57 now and they’re still pretty full. I fill them slightly in with eyeshadow with a flat tipped brush. Biotin supplements help the brows and the eyelashes look thicker.
Thank you for sharing your experiences. People can be unkind with negative comments because they don’t understand that beauty comes in all different designs. Going silver is a cool experience. I’m learning a new “me”.
Women can be something else. I think you are pretty and your eyebrows are great 👍🏻 keep that sense of humor.
I just got my ‘Worth It’ lipstick...and oh boy! Is it ever ! Now I need this fabulous mascara! Thanks Nikol! 😃❤️🙏🏼⭐️👍
So happy to hear this!!!!!
thank you for this tutorial... i like that U kept it still looking natural.. and remind your followers that thicker brows are in style right now.. I luv your brows!. one of the worse things a women can do is tweeze her brows to just a thin line... because perhaps they may never grow back when the thicker brows do come back in.. and remind them that microblading can deteriorate the brow hair follicles and so if microblading a brow is done when very young . they can end up never again having a normal brow.. and remind them that their microblading will more than likely have to be redone about every two to three years... so say U live into your 80's .. think how that will damage the skin badly through the years if that has to be done over and over.. :( .. yep not good.. even certain makeup filled with harmful chemicals can damage brow folicles so healthy natural make up is is so important..
You have the best brows ever!! Lucky you!
Love all your tips!! Received my order today! I love the brushes, and the pink container they come with!
This is amazing! So excited the brushes are a game changer just wait!!!!! 😘😘
Love love love this thank you
I needed this reminder to get my act together
By the way Nicole you are beautiful we all need to be told it makes us feel good 😊
Gorgeous! Of course, you look fantastic to begin with. Straightforward, easy-to-follow video. Loved it!
Aloha! Nice to see another heated eyelash curler option. My beloved Panasonic died a couple of years ago and I haven’t replaced it. Will give yours a try! 👍 (I have very straight Asian lashes … need all the lift possible!)
So glad you can laugh at the critics, but rest assured your strong brows are essential to what makes *you* beautiful! Thanks for the all-in-one tip review.
Whoever says nasty things about your brows are just jealous. I would love to have your brows instead of my sparse ones!
I think everyone has something unique to them -- I know you do. Eyebrows are just a thing personal to Nikol and because I inherited mine from my great Dad, I am happy with them but my sis got his hazel/green eyes and from our mum sparse eyebrows and she is gorgeous!
Me too!
Another victim of "The 90's"?! Join the club! Looking into(4ward2)microblading+/ombrows(Ombre Brows by the G-ds. Fantasy shape, color, semi-permanent lasting 1-3 yrs. Remember: "Overplucked is future fkd." That's a PSA, btw.
Me too I’m 72 and never had thick eyebrows. Now they’ve thinned out a lot.
I always had great thick brows-had them waxed once every month or two then I hit perimenopause and they got thinner THEN I got menopause and even thinner on the ends. I never had to use eyebrow pencil before, I'm trying to teach myself at 56, it's taken over a year and I'm getting better. I don't like how the "young women" make them too perfect and fake looking-they look nice in photos and FREAKY as hell in person. LoL. I want to see someone's face before I see their make up -if you know what I mean.
Tried your two color brow colors. It works well.
And preparing the skin is vital.
Oh My Gosh !!! I received my products and have applied them as per you Make Tricks Video.
Makeup Brush Kit = The are the most wonderful and effective makeup brushes that I have use. And, they did not have any chemical smell that I have always encountered before with other brushes , including high-end makeup brushes. And, of course, those chemicals are very irritating to sensitive skin!
Eye and Lips Primer = I never used an eye lid primer before. I was totally blown-away with how effective it is.
Bottle Blonde Eye Shadow Pallet = WOW !!!
No Dark Spots/Highlighter Beauty Stix Corrector = Really effective on my dark under-eye area, without looking made-up.
BB Cream = This product is amazing. Goes on beautifully, proving perfect coverage without looking like you have foundation on your face.
Upgrade Lip Gloss = Love it.
In fact. I love them all.
I am going to order more products, including the thee Ever products that you mention at the beginning of you Video.
THANK YOU, NIKOL. You are definitely a Ladies’ Lady !!!
“It’s like Spanx for your eyeshadow”- I can assure you I will NEVER AGAIN forget to use eyeshadow primer 😉. Your Mom and you are both beautiful, thanks for all you teach us ❤️
Lol I know right!!!! When I said Spanx in this video it sounded so much better than when I said “It’s like forgetting your underwear” in another video lol
Another wonderful video!! You teach us so much. Please do another hair video. Thank you!!
Love all your tutorials and tips, thank you for taking the time
Great tips and tutorial, thank you! New to your products and so very pleased with all of the ones I have, such nice quality.
I think your eyebrows are beautiful! I love watching your tutorials! And I will continue to watch them! Thank you so much!❤
Hi there
I absolutely love your brows! They are gorgeous!
This is Fabulous, Nikol. I really enjoy your excitement and enthusiasm and willingness to share your knowledge. Thank you!
That was a terrific presentation. I’m going to try out your method of doing eyes first. Also use brush for my concealer and BB cream.
Loved this video!!!! I’m so sorry that some people have nothing better to do than say awful things to others 😢 I personally am in awe with your beauty!!!! What I would give to have eyebrows like yours 💜💜💜 I used to have pretty eyebrows, but sadly they’re fading away.
Nikol, your brows are fabulous!
People are just jealous!
Enjoy them! 🥰🌹
Those are priceless Nikol. Thank you for sharing Pretty Lady!
Absolutely great video! I just found your channel. Can’t wait to start buying your products! Thanks for all the great tips.
