Fabulous to see such a no nonsense tutorial from someone who is actually dealing with the difficulties of applying make up to a more mature face. So needed and at 67 I'm loving these tips.
What a fantastic video, from a lady who has made mistakes like most of us.....No drawn out talking just getting on with it and giving great advice to ladies over 50.....Thank You so much for your advice amd tips.
At 69 I have had to change my make-up...Your "tutorial" as well as others, has given me alot of tips, on applying, as well as products...going into my 70s with a bang!!
FANTASTIC advice Dez, it’s so easy to forget and drift back into some of these old habits- I agree with all this tips. Let’s look younger not older !! ❤❤❤
So nice to have someone my age giving makeup tips!!! Seems like there are a lot of younger people giving advice for older women...... that doesn't work for me!!! Looking forward to more videos!! I also like the use of "drug store" and more upscale products. Always nice to have a choice!
I just found your channel recently. Your mom’s picture is gorgeous. I love your hair!! I am so tempted by your bangs….❤. I am 63, and admire your beautiful skin. I can’t wait to check out all of your videos, and am looking forward to next year.
I just found you and love you! I'm also a woman in my 70s and love seeing another woman my age (with all our facial "life experience"). Thanks for the tips. I needed them. Just subscribed.
Just wanted to say thank you for this tutorial! I am 65 and have been struggling over how to do my makeup. The techniques you showed have been very helpful for me. In particular rubbing the foundation in you palm of you hand and dabbing it on with a brush! It really did smooth out my skin without looking cakey. I also appreciate the way you applied the blush. thx, Marie
I am in my late 50s and have been struggling with my makeup not looking cakey . Fabulous video ! I learned so much from u about how to do a fresh makeup look with textured skin . You are absolutely gorgeous too!🎉🎉
Just watched you for the first time. It’s so helpful to find a real person, of the age that so many of us are, addressing every day challenges with make up application. And I appreciate your review of both drug store and higher end products. I look forward to following you and learning more. ❤
You look lovely! I so enjoyed seeing a woman around my age, with coloring similar to mine, with really useful suggestions and tips that I can use. You are someone I can relate to in that way, and I appreciate your attitude and graciousness.
As a fairly new subscriper from US, I really enjoy your videos. I thought your tips were great but laughed at the overdone top 10 mistakes. The real finished makeup was perfect.
Hi Dez! I think I have had to make so many changes in makeup application over the last couple of years. I have been using a lighter brow color also. I used to go darker, but my hair used to be darker. Now I just don’t want people looking at my eyebrows very closely at all. I do like to use eyeliner but I definitely don’t use black, medium or light colors instead. This was such a great video! I am bad at not taking time to curl my lashes. I live life in a rush 😊
Thanks so much Mona! Getting my lashes lifted at my local salon makes a huge difference. It doesn't seem to be a thing in the rest of the world as it is here - changed my life 😉❤️
Love your videos. Another tip I’d like to tell you about because it makes a huge difference to me. I spray a little urban decay setting spray on my foundation brush before I apply the foundation. That way the make up looks more like skin and never looks cakey. The brush is then damp and I buff the foundation into the skin for at least a full minute. Almost until the foundation looks as if you’re not wearing any. If I need to reapply makeup before going out , I spray the brush again with the setting spray before applying the foundation.
Thank you so much Francesca! Can I say what a beautiful name you have - as a child I wanted to be a ballerina and was going to change my name to Francesca ❤️
Great tips Dez and your “do” look is gorgeous! I’m excited to see your review on the Laura Geller Balance n’ Glow. I’ve never tried that one! Have a good one my beautiful friend!❤️
Thank you, new subscriber here! This video is excellent. It's hard to break away from the makeup "ruts" as we age. To see the two different makeup applications and your advice on why the changes brighten the face is very helpful!
Hi Dez, great video! Try the Urban Decay eyeshadow primer. The anti-aging one- not the original. You just need a tiny bit and I swear it keeps my eyeshadow from creasing and it stays on all day.
Subscribed ❤. Love how you included affordable brands alongside luxury brands. They don’t have testers for drugstore brands so it’s hard to know what’s good. Thank you!
Dez, your hair style is very youthful. Love it. Great tips. Now I do have to say, on me, brown liner makes me look tired. So I stick to black and make it a very thin line. Another good liner is Cassis by Chanel, which can make green eyes pop. It is a sort of brownish purple. Ta, Dez!
Enjoyed your video very much. I must try a face primer -you have convinced me. Your hair with highlights suits you. Also, you are very lucky to have such big, expressive eyes. Your eye makeup accentuates them perfectly. Thanks for another great video!
Thanks so much, Jennifer! I get my nails done in a salon, where they use a dipping powder by SNS - I usually get shade 267 or similar. Useful article here on dip powder nails: www.refinery29.com/en-us/sns-dip-powder-nails-review - I think they last better than gels 😊
Good information. You’d think we’d know those things by now… but as you noted we didn’t have all those different products to use years ago. Thank you👍😘❤️
As the long weekend here in the US winds down.. I’m catching up on a bit of TH-cam watching. Oh gosh yes .. the “tide line” had me scratching my head. But I get it now 😅. I’ve had a bit of fun learning new liner techniques this last year. The full ring liner look makes my small eyes look even smaller. I’ve been trying lining only 1/4 of the lower lash line .. then smudging it. I like it for an evening look. I’m tempted to try a lighter brown for a day time look. 😊
I was listening to Lab Muffin's book on audio and she references some research about eye liner, both top and bottom, making eyes look more prominent to the viewer - I'll try to find it - I was quite surprised that even the lower lash line made the eyes pop, apparently! I hope you're having a great holiday weekend. Daughter is back in New Brunswick for a few days' work - wish I could have gone with her!
@ that is absolutely fascinating. I’m going to experiment some more with some liner techniques. My hairstylist Started out as a makeup artist in New York City and he insists that liner makes everybody’s eyes look better! Though he said for my smaller eyes to smudge it out and not go all the way to the inner corner. Safe travels to your daughter. If you ever do make it back to New York I’m always happy to pop over and keep you company.🥰. Have a wonderful Sunday.
A delight to discover your channel & I can't wait to watch more of your videos because I have struggled to find someone of my own age in UK talking clearly about problems . I hope you will do a "How is the make-up wearing" type vid - which is the real test of make-up ! It is a pleasure to subscribe.
Thank you so much! That was one of the reasons I started the channel - during lockdown I was looking for a UK based beauty and fashion channel for over 60s and there didn't seem to be any! I will do more wear tests, thank you. I am planning a concealer wear test video at the moment ❤️
Spooky. I have recently adjusted my daytime makeup look. I love wearing kohl in the waterline but this is exactly what I am trying to achieve...love thst VB pencil. X
Thanks Dez. I use Angie hot and flashy concealer brush under my eyes, it’s a total game changer and with a light hand IT bye bye pores loose powder with a small fluffy brush to set the under eye- no more creasing or settling and I’m in a very humid climate. Also my eyelashes won’t hold a curl. I’ve recently found the ELF lash and roll mascara in deep brown and it really goes on well, stays on doesn’t smudge or flake and removes with ease.
I've really struggled with loose powder - I think a light hand is what's needed, but I find that quite tricky 😉- I have a couple of ELF mascaras but not that one - will add it to my list - thank you ❤️
Good tips! I don't use a primer - but always use a setting spray, which for me softens any powdery look and keeps my makeup looking fresh for several hours. Nothing expensive - just the ELF Makeup Mist. I've used it for years. I will definitely try the ELF Primer, but I'm always afraid that one more product will just pill! Only wish I could get hold of the Soft Glam foundation - out of stock everywhere.
Thanks so much Fiona! I keep forgetting to use a setting spray. How annoying you can't get the foundation. Honestly, give the primer a go - pilling can be caused by so many factors. It's definitely been added to my makeup arsenal ❤️
Hi Dez, great video, as always ! I love your hair colour, its really suits you. I think your make up has got lighter too since I first started watching you, its lovely. I have given up pretty much on traditional foundation, and now only use the elf soft glam, a BB creme, or CC creme. I had a massive sort out and passed loads on the other day. What I did get yesterday and am loving, Is the Pillow talk Fair lipstick and pencil, what a gorgeous colour it is. Its cooler than the original pillow talk, ( CT) , and is nice with lighter, or in my case, White hair. Thankyou Dez. 😊
Ooh nice - annoyingly I think CT lippies contain fragrance, so I've stopped using them - not the pencils, though. Glad you like lighter hair, and you're right, I have gone lighter on the makeup too - still have force myself to step away from the black eyeliner look, though 😉
Thank you ,you are so helpful and informative, I agree it's nice to see a more mature lady advise on make up suitable for me rather than someone young that doesn't really need "help" 😂
Thanks, Dez. That was a lovely photo of your Mum. I can see the family resemblance. I didn't know that our eyebrow shade shouldn't be too dark and should match the hair line colour. I'm 58 and my eyebrows are black, but they have faded a bit in later years. I've never heard of eye lash lifting before (I'm in NZ). Also, I didn't know I shouldn't apply blusher beyond the iris. Gosh, I have been making a few mistakes. Haha. I look forward to trying these new tricks. 💝
Ah, and LOL! I didn't know about the eyebrow thing until I watched Andreea Ali - TH-cam is such a mine of info! Mind, if your brows are naturally black, how lovely - mine are so sparse. I've looked up the brand of lash lift used at my local salon and they are in NZ: elleebana.com/salon-finder/ might be worth a punt - and thanks so much for watching ❤️
It's really tricky - I sometimes get two shades if it's an affordable. I am planning an in depth video on concealers which will be coming soon. I tend to go slightly lighter than my foundation ❤️

So lovely to watch a makeup tutorial that isn’t constantly tapping the horrendous false nails on every product they are about to use .
Fabulous to see such a no nonsense tutorial from someone who is actually dealing with the difficulties of applying make up to a more mature face. So needed and at 67 I'm loving these tips.
Thanks so much!
Excellent advice. I’m 75 and had given up on makeup but will try what you’ve shown us. X
What a fantastic video, from a lady who has made mistakes like most of us.....No drawn out talking just getting on with it and giving great advice to ladies over 50.....Thank You so much for your advice amd tips.
Aww thanks so much Violet! And may I say how much I love your name - my mother's name was Violet, although she went by her 2nd name of Maxine ❤️
What a great tip on blusher for older women. Looks so much better.
Great tutorial, finally not a 16 year old woman with flawless skin,thans a lot❤❤❤
Aww thanks!
Stunning and beautifully natural looking.
At 69 I have had to change my make-up...Your "tutorial" as well as others, has given me alot of tips, on applying, as well as products...going into my 70s with a bang!!
Aww thanks! TH-cam is a wonderful medium - I consume it every single day and love watching creators young and older and learn so much from them!
FANTASTIC advice Dez, it’s so easy to forget and drift back into some of these old habits- I agree with all this tips. Let’s look younger not older !! ❤❤❤

Yes I agree totally. Nice to see a mature lady doing a tutorial I can relate to.

Wonderful! I believe we are the same age. I live in NYC and can struggle with the old makeup with what you shared today.IM GLAD I FOUND YOU! IM A FAN!
Aww thanks fellow 70 year old! Aren't we doing well ❤️

It was great to see your mistakes and how you transformed yourself. 🌺🌺

Aww thanks so much, Diana!

Aww thanks so much Kitty, that's very kind of you ❤️
Thanks for the tip about the blusher
As a fairly new subscriper from US, I really enjoy your videos. I thought your tips were great but laughed at the overdone top 10 mistakes. The real finished makeup was perfect.

Hi Dez! I think I have had to make so many changes in makeup application over the last couple of years. I have been using a lighter brow color also.

Thanks so much Mona! Getting my lashes lifted at my local salon makes a huge difference. It doesn't seem to be a thing in the rest of the world as it is here - changed my life 😉❤️
First time I've come across your videos. Really enjoyed it. Thanks
Love your videos. Another tip I’d like to tell you about because it makes a huge difference to me.
I spray a little urban decay setting spray on my foundation brush before I apply the foundation. That way the make up looks more like skin and never looks cakey. The brush is then damp and I buff the foundation into the skin for at least a full minute. Almost until the foundation looks as if you’re not wearing any.
If I need to reapply makeup before going out , I spray the brush again with the setting spray before applying the foundation.
I think that sounds good. Personally I want my makeup to make me look better but not look as if I’m wearing much. I use as little foundation as I can.
Ooh thanks Hilary! I just ordered the setting spray yesterday so will give that a go - thank you!
Down to earth discussion but still comes out with a gorgeous look!
Fun video, Dez -- thank you! You come across so personable and charming on camera, and have a lovely voice, too! 🩷
Aww thanks so much ❤️
Hi Dez. I love your channel. Your new hair color looks so good on you and your makeup looks so pretty and understated,
Thank you so much ❤️
What great tips! I love how you did your cheek color. You and I have similar coloring, so your advice is especially apt. Thanks, Dez.
Thank you so much Francesca! Can I say what a beautiful name you have - as a child I wanted to be a ballerina and was going to change my name to Francesca ❤️
Your hair is beautiful, love the colour, really suits you, and you look amazingly great! Looking good!

I really like the highlighter tip. Thank you
Absolutely fab, thankyou for your informative & fun tutorial ❤

Thanks dearest T! I need to plan in the Laura Geller comparison vid - I've also ordered a Bare Minerals power foundation to add to the mix...❤️
Great to get some new make up tips for aging skin, the range out there is so confusing, thanks I thoroughly enjoyed watching this Dez.

Thank you!
Subscribed ❤. Love how you included affordable brands alongside luxury brands. They don’t have testers for drugstore brands so it’s hard to know what’s good. Thank you!
That's so true. I will do more drugstore videos - just to warn you the next makeup one is luxury focused, though ❤️
Hey Dez, final look was really pretty and I really like your hair color. Lynne from Tx.

Dez, the ELF primer is my holy grail and that is exactly how I've been applying my foundation and I love the way it looks.
It is really good, isnt it!
Thanks Dez. I use Angie hot and flashy concealer brush under my eyes, it’s a total game changer and with a light hand IT bye bye pores loose powder with a small fluffy brush to set the under eye- no more creasing or settling and I’m in a very humid climate. Also my eyelashes won’t hold a curl. I’ve recently found the ELF lash and roll mascara in deep brown and it really goes on well, stays on doesn’t smudge or flake and removes with ease.
I've really struggled with loose powder - I think a light hand is what's needed, but I find that quite tricky 😉- I have a couple of ELF mascaras but not that one - will add it to my list - thank you ❤️
Good tips! I don't use a primer - but always use a setting spray, which for me softens any powdery look and keeps my makeup looking fresh for several hours. Nothing expensive - just the ELF Makeup Mist. I've used it for years. I will definitely try the ELF Primer, but I'm always afraid that one more product will just pill! Only wish I could get hold of the Soft Glam foundation - out of stock everywhere.
Thanks so much Fiona! I keep forgetting to use a setting spray. How annoying you can't get the foundation. Honestly, give the primer a go - pilling can be caused by so many factors. It's definitely been added to my makeup arsenal ❤️
@@beautybydez Yay - got the foundation on line - bought two as I wasn't sure of the color and I got the primer. Will let you know.
I really like your hair colour on you. I think your makeup is lively ❤
Thank you!
Thank you for the many tips❤️New Subscriber!
Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you! We've all made some of these mistakes. Mostly adding too much product is my weakness...
Ditto! I've been trying to hold my brush further down so as not to go all in with powder products 😊
I always enjoy your videos. You have a lot of good ideas. By the way, you look great!
Thank you so much ❤️
Can’t wait to watch! I’m all ears 😊!
LOL! You are minimalist queen ❤️
@ 🙈😂yep
Thankyou Dez for these great tips Totally agree with you.
Thanks so much!
Amazing ❤, such an inspiration
Great video. Is there any tricks or makeup to colour grey eyebrows?
Thank you! Try a taupe brow powder or use an eyeshadow close to your hairline colour - it might do the trick ❤️
Very informative video. Thank you ❤ PS You look fabulous.
Thank you so much ❤️
Great tutorial x
Thanks so much ❤️
Loving your channel. Pleased to have found you!
Thank you so much!
Hi Dez, great video, as always ! I love your hair colour, its really suits you. I think your make up has got lighter too since I first started watching you, its lovely. I have given up pretty much on traditional foundation, and now only use the elf soft glam, a BB creme, or CC creme. I had a massive sort out and passed loads on the other day. What I did get yesterday and am loving, Is the Pillow talk Fair lipstick and pencil, what a gorgeous colour it is. Its cooler than the original pillow talk, ( CT) , and is nice with lighter, or in my case, White hair. Thankyou Dez. 😊
Ooh nice - annoyingly I think CT lippies contain fragrance, so I've stopped using them - not the pencils, though. Glad you like lighter hair, and you're right, I have gone lighter on the makeup too - still have force myself to step away from the black eyeliner look, though 😉
Thank you for this video ❤🎉😊 xx
Thank you ,you are so helpful and informative, I agree it's nice to see a more mature lady advise on make up suitable for me rather than someone young that doesn't really need "help" 😂
Enjoy your videos so much❤
Thank you for doing your whole face I'm not over exaggerating
Thank you!!!! Really enjoyed this. I have subscribed👍Good luck with your numbers 💙❤️💛💜💯
Thank you ❤️
It looks beautiful
Thanks, Dez. That was a lovely photo of your Mum. I can see the family resemblance. I didn't know that our eyebrow shade shouldn't be too dark and should match the hair line colour. I'm 58 and my eyebrows are black, but they have faded a bit in later years. I've never heard of eye lash lifting before (I'm in NZ). Also, I didn't know I shouldn't apply blusher beyond the iris. Gosh, I have been making a few mistakes. Haha. I look forward to trying these new tricks. 💝
Ah, and LOL! I didn't know about the eyebrow thing until I watched Andreea Ali - TH-cam is such a mine of info! Mind, if your brows are naturally black, how lovely - mine are so sparse. I've looked up the brand of lash lift used at my local salon and they are in NZ: elleebana.com/salon-finder/ might be worth a punt - and thanks so much for watching ❤️
This is fab! Thank you. How do you choose the right shade of concealer? ❤
It's really tricky - I sometimes get two shades if it's an affordable. I am planning an in depth video on concealers which will be coming soon. I tend to go slightly lighter than my foundation ❤️
@@beautybydez thank you for replying! I very much look forward to the next video. I discovered you by chance today and I’m loving it. ❤️❤️
