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!
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 !! ❤❤❤
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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
I see videos of make up artist & they line the lower lashes the outer third lashes & its supposed to make the eyes look larger. For myself I use similar application for foundation but start in the middle of my face & blend out adding more to the areas if I need more coverage.
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👍😘❤️
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 ❤️
Hey Dez! Excellent video! In general do you think cream products, versus powder products, look better on mature skin? Im nearing 60 and want to get my makeup in order. I really love what you did with the lighter eyeliner. Unfortunately I cannot wear coppery shades so do you have a recommendation for blue/green eyes and fair skin for a similar look as yours?
Thanks so much Tammy! It's tricky with regard to cream v powder - I think it depends on the product itself and the application - and the skin, so no hard and fast rules. I tend to prefer powder in the cold months and creams in the warmer seasons. Re colours for blue/green eyes - I would say maybe lilac or mauve shades would go well with your cool complexion. Andreea Ali did a great video about colours - th-cam.com/video/9ZEGTKw_EXY/w-d-xo.html - really worth a watch ❤️
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 😉❤️
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!❤️
Excellent advise i had gotten to the point of not wearing makeup foundation or concealer because it looked horrifically aging and i would end up taking it off. I just turned 71 and inheritsd good skin. But its really stared showing age now. Concealer was a total mess and i switched to a darker shade because i was using a lighter shade which highlited my wrinkles! Yuk Truly overall less is more and keeping tone more neutral and warm pinky like. I have very olivey skin and when no sun tan is pretty dead looking. Thanks so much!
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!
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 😉
And i thought i looked great 😯no wonder people were crossing the road to avoid me😅 Thanks Dez i will be dishing the old black liner ,and giving your final look a go.
Hi Dez great video !!! I’ve given up powder all together and just smooth anything I need to as the day goes on under my eyes . My mom’s 88 and has skin like a baby and still gets compliments on it . Shes never put any powder on her face 😂😂😂😂😂 By the way as I’m sure you know all the Westman Atelier products feed the skin and are excellent quality. Everything lasts so long and you need so little to be effective. I find the whole line to be very user friendly and anti aging . ❤
Thanks Hils, and interesting re powder - I have wondered about whether I should try that. And how lovely your mum has such great skin - both my mum and granny would powder, especially on the nose! Yes love Westman Atelier, they feel so luxe ❤️
Dez, now I have an eyebrow question. I know I do my bows too dark. My hair is medium-dark cool brown with some gray. My hairline is very cool silver. I feel like most products are too warm or too dark and taupe just doesn't do a thing! Any advice? I am a drugstore gal.
It's tricky. Have you tried the NYX Powder Louder in taupe? It looks dark on the website but it worked for me. Also maybe go in very lightly. The other option is powder rather than pencil - you could even try one of your eyeshadows - I used to use a Bobbi Brown eyeshadow on mine. Let me know if you can't find the right shade and I'll do some digging ❤️
I ordered the ELF foundation based upon rave reviews *everywhere*. I have combination skin but, unfortunately, it still dried up and caked up around my chin area. I used a damp sponge and "blotted". I'm disappointed. There's only one "foundation" that has worked for me so far and that's Aesthetica cream palette.
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.
Yes once, in 2011 - it was awful, just gave me a sort of lump above my left eyebrow! I hate needles so have never tried it again. I do have jowling, it's just that it's not visible unless I put my neck down. If you watch my upcoming best bras video you will see plenty 😉 I stopped smoking in 1996 so hopefully that stopped the lines above my lip from getting worse. I'm not against treatments, and never say never, but not for me right now ❤️
Another alternative to eyeliner and eyeshadow, which can smudge and bleed into fine lines around the eye throughout the day, is a pair of subtle false eyelashes. If you stick with a natural looking lash, they look very pretty. Some have a black lash band that mimics liner, and some have a clear band for a natural look. Lashes open up the eye and make your eyes look bright and awake. It does take a little practice, but once you learn to put them on, it's quicker than eyeliner and eyeshadow. I wear them every day and no one knows unless they are also a "lash girl!"
@beautybydez Hi Dez! I wear mostly drug store brands as I don't see the advantage of paying more. Most every brand has a "Wispy" style lash, meaning it's a natural look. You may need to trim the band if they're too long. The secret is in letting the glue set up to get sticky for a few minutes before you apply the lash to your eye. I use a 10x mirror and a pair of tweezers to carefully place them exactly on the lash line. There are lots of tutorials on Utube! Don't worry, they won't fall off. I would love to see you in them!
Hello my darling Dez. I think all of our moms lined their eyes in black liner. I go with brown, gray, or burgundy. Black, for me, is too harsh. Fabulous tips, Dez. I see so many mature women wearing your before look. I want to tell them to get rid of the black liner, and stop applying blush on the apples of their cheeks! You and Melissa 55 are big Victoria Beckham eyeliner fans. It looks lovely. Gorgeous finished look, my dear Dez. Lots of love. 💖💖🫶
Thank you dearest Rene! I must look at Melissa 55 - she is so stunning - I keep forgetting to watch her channel. Much love to you for your holiday season ❤️❤️❤️
You would love Melissa55. She's just darling and a very dear friend of mine. We've chatted on the phone, and text back and forth. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season as well. Hugs❣️💖😘@beautybydez
I prefer to only line under the eyes from about halfway. It looks better on me. I’m definitely guilty of the mascara things. I seem very cack handed and always manage to smudge it or blink after applying it! So generally only use one coat. I don’t curl them unless it’s a special occasion. I have brows that were microbladed several years ago as I hardly have any actual brows. It’s quite dark so I have to match the dark colour otherwise it looks odd. I just use as light a touch as possible. I’d have them redone but I’m now taking blood thinners for an irregular heart rate and I don’t think anyone would do them . I like the Anastasia Beverly Hills brow stuff in a pot. I’m experimenting with highlighter, I love how it looks on other people but haven’t completely got the knack yet for myself.
It's taken me some time to get the hang of highlighter myself, but I almost wear it daily, now. The halfway eyeliner thing is a good technique - I'd forgotten it, so thanks for reminding me. Brows are tricky - I have to stop myself going in too heavy 😉
You are a pretty gal - but honestly, I think there is just too much going onto the skin . . . foundation, concealer, powder, and whatever else, etc. IMO, it's much too heavy . - I use a TEENY bit of concealer, a TEENY bit of color on my cheeks, and minimal eye makeup and lipstick. I'm older than you, and my skin is far from perfect, either . . . However, our skin cannot breathe with layers of product on it - and those are not my words, but are the words of my longtime dermatologist. --- Otherwise, I do really enjoy your videos.
Love your hair. Lighter looks fabulous! I have the Westman Atelier concealer too. It's a lot thicker than most other doe foot concealers. I use half of what you applied, a scant drop just below and a little inward of the lower orbital bone and an even smaller dab at the outer corner of my eye. I pat it with my ring finger, which I've been told is the weakest finger, so less likely to eventually make wrinkles worse. Then I pounce with my sponge, then dust around eyes with an extremely light dusting of very finely milled powder. I pat the head of my brush on the back of my hand after I've dipped into the powder to ensure I have minimal powder on the brush. I get no visible settling. I have Victoria Beckham Cinnamon which I only use on my lower lash line but I only apply it from the middle of the lash line to the outer corner. Then I take a pencil brush with a dab of a shimmery taupe eye shadow and go over the line and extend slightly in, stopping about 1/4 of the way towards the inner corner. On me, anything too dark at the inner corner does me no favors. I also prefer the VB Kajal in Cocoa or Ash on the upper lash line, really smudged. Cinnamon doesn't define the line enough. By the time I apply mascara, the line is practically invisible.
Thanks so much Andrea! I am still struggling with all my concealers, tbh, especially under my right eye - my left one is fine. I am doing my best with minimal powder, but maybe I need to go lighter with the concealer first. I'm playing with the ridiculously expensive VB concealer at the mo 😊 Re VB pencils, I like the cocoa for evening and the cinnamon for day - although today I've revisited her palette which I couldnt get to work for me last year...

Thank you for the many tips❤️New Subscriber!
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 !! ❤❤❤
Thanks Mags ❤️
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!
Great tutorial, finally not a 16 year old woman with flawless skin,thans a lot❤❤❤
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.
I just realized I was using concealer before my foundation...that was why it was caking. Thank you.
You look beautiful! I am going to try that highlight tip.
Stunning and beautifully natural looking.
Hi Dez. I love your channel. Your new hair color looks so good on you and your makeup looks so pretty and understated,
Great video. Is there any tricks or makeup to colour grey eyebrows?
I'm glad I found your channel. You are delightful

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!
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.

Loved your mistakes , they were such fun! I love the color of your eyeliner!
Thank you!
I just made a video and had way too much blush on. Plus I forgot to blend. Grrrr I'll send everyone over to you. 😅
Hi Sandra!! I do that too, I think my light “blinds” my eyes a bit and I can’t see how dark my blush is until later when I’m editing.
@@MaggieDe I'm so glad to hear that Maggie. That's exactly right. It looks great on the monitor and then you go to edit, and BLAM!!!
I've just ordered a "pair" of one eyed glasses from Amazon which is supposed to help makeup application - watch this space 🙂
And i thought i looked great 😯no wonder people were crossing the road to avoid me😅 Thanks Dez i will be dishing the old black liner ,and giving your final look a go.
Ahhh Cathy, I'm sure you look gorgeous ❤️
Thank you for this video ❤🎉😊 xx

Hi Dez - have you ever used Botox or fillers - I notice you haven’t got any jowling or upper liplines?
Yes once, in 2011 - it was awful, just gave me a sort of lump above my left eyebrow! I hate needles so have never tried it again. I do have jowling, it's just that it's not visible unless I put my neck down. If you watch my upcoming best bras video you will see plenty 😉 I stopped smoking in 1996 so hopefully that stopped the lines above my lip from getting worse. I'm not against treatments, and never say never, but not for me right now ❤️
Another alternative to eyeliner and eyeshadow, which can smudge and bleed into fine lines around the eye throughout the day, is a pair of subtle false eyelashes. If you stick with a natural looking lash, they look very pretty. Some have a black lash band that mimics liner, and some have a clear band for a natural look. Lashes open up the eye and make your eyes look bright and awake. It does take a little practice, but once you learn to put them on, it's quicker than eyeliner and eyeshadow. I wear them every day and no one knows unless they are also a "lash girl!"
Ooh Lynn, interesting! Which brand do you use? Maybe I should try them on camera - I've always shied away from them as I'm scared they'll fall off 😉❤️
@beautybydez Hi Dez! I wear mostly drug store brands as I don't see the advantage of paying more. Most every brand has a "Wispy" style lash, meaning it's a natural look. You may need to trim the band if they're too long. The secret is in letting the glue set up to get sticky for a few minutes before you apply the lash to your eye. I use a 10x mirror and a pair of tweezers to carefully place them exactly on the lash line. There are lots of tutorials on Utube! Don't worry, they won't fall off. I would love to see you in them!
You look beautiful
Thank you!
Hello my darling Dez. I think all of our moms lined their eyes in black liner. I go with brown, gray, or burgundy. Black, for me, is too harsh.
Fabulous tips, Dez. I see so many mature women wearing your before look. I want to tell them to get rid of the black liner, and stop applying blush on the apples of their cheeks!
You and Melissa 55 are big Victoria Beckham eyeliner fans. It looks lovely.
Gorgeous finished look, my dear Dez. Lots of love. 💖💖🫶
Thank you dearest Rene! I must look at Melissa 55 - she is so stunning - I keep forgetting to watch her channel. Much love to you for your holiday season ❤️❤️❤️
You would love Melissa55. She's just darling and a very dear friend of mine. We've chatted on the phone, and text back and forth.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday season as well. Hugs❣️💖😘@beautybydez
I prefer to only line under the eyes from about halfway. It looks better on me. I’m definitely guilty of the mascara things. I seem very cack handed and always manage to smudge it or blink after applying it! So generally only use one coat. I don’t curl them unless it’s a special occasion.
I have brows that were microbladed several years ago as I hardly have any actual brows. It’s quite dark so I have to match the dark colour otherwise it looks odd. I just use as light a touch as possible. I’d have them redone but I’m now taking blood thinners for an irregular heart rate and I don’t think anyone would do them . I like the Anastasia Beverly Hills brow stuff in a pot.
I’m experimenting with highlighter, I love how it looks on other people but haven’t completely got the knack yet for myself.
It's taken me some time to get the hang of highlighter myself, but I almost wear it daily, now. The halfway eyeliner thing is a good technique - I'd forgotten it, so thanks for reminding me. Brows are tricky - I have to stop myself going in too heavy 😉
Don't forget the tidemark on the bath!
Oh gosh yes, the bath - I had forgotten 😂
I have heard that applying castor oil to your lashes at night helps them grow longer and thicker (Barbara O'neill).
I use castor oil, it does seem to work, mine are long unfortunately blonde so they need mascara. Much cheaper than the growth serums
@@janclapham8367 It also helps brow growth.
I need to try it on my brows - thank you!

👌👍😍🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
Lovely look! I have had to tweak many of my makeup techniques as I have gotten older. Very good tips and I always enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much!
Maybe too much liner, put either on top or bottom. Your hair would be georgous grey....
I discussed going grey with my hairdresser recently, but he said it's a bit too early - maybe next year 😊
Thanks Dez have you lightened your hair a tad as it looks really nice see you soon ❤
I have indeed - thought we'd give it a go ❤️
You are a pretty gal - but honestly, I think there is just too much going onto the skin . . . foundation, concealer, powder, and whatever else, etc. IMO, it's much too heavy . - I use a TEENY bit of concealer, a TEENY bit of color on my cheeks, and minimal eye makeup and lipstick. I'm older than you, and my skin is far from perfect, either . . . However, our skin cannot breathe with layers of product on it - and those are not my words, but are the words of my longtime dermatologist. --- Otherwise, I do really enjoy your videos.
Thank you - I do tend to be a bit heavy handed with makeup, I admit - so thank you for your honesty and I take it on board ❤️
oops! a little slip? married 3 times?
LOL - yes 3 times married, this one's the keeper 🙂
Great!
Love your hair. Lighter looks fabulous! I have the Westman Atelier concealer too. It's a lot thicker than most other doe foot concealers. I use half of what you applied, a scant drop just below and a little inward of the lower orbital bone and an even smaller dab at the outer corner of my eye. I pat it with my ring finger, which I've been told is the weakest finger, so less likely to eventually make wrinkles worse. Then I pounce with my sponge, then dust around eyes with an extremely light dusting of very finely milled powder. I pat the head of my brush on the back of my hand after I've dipped into the powder to ensure I have minimal powder on the brush. I get no visible settling. I have Victoria Beckham Cinnamon which I only use on my lower lash line but I only apply it from the middle of the lash line to the outer corner. Then I take a pencil brush with a dab of a shimmery taupe eye shadow and go over the line and extend slightly in, stopping about 1/4 of the way towards the inner corner. On me, anything too dark at the inner corner does me no favors. I also prefer the VB Kajal in Cocoa or Ash on the upper lash line, really smudged. Cinnamon doesn't define the line enough. By the time I apply mascara, the line is practically invisible.
Thanks so much Andrea! I am still struggling with all my concealers, tbh, especially under my right eye - my left one is fine. I am doing my best with minimal powder, but maybe I need to go lighter with the concealer first. I'm playing with the ridiculously expensive VB concealer at the mo 😊 Re VB pencils, I like the cocoa for evening and the cinnamon for day - although today I've revisited her palette which I couldnt get to work for me last year...
I have the It brush but it has started shedding 🫤no good anymore
I really enjoyed watching this … thank you x
