Going from darkest brown hair and brows to graying hair with a silver streak front and center has changed the intensity of color I use on my lids and lips. Thanks for showing affordable options while in my experimental phase

I'm so glad you included L.A. Girl eyeliners & lipliners, both wonderfully long-wearing products. I stock up when Ulta has the BOGO sale. I totally agree on the shimmer eyeshadow. I'm 51 & it makes my eyes POP. Matte just makes them look "meh". If you're ever in the market to try a new, inexpensive stick foundation, the one from Makeup Revolution ($9 Ulta) is the best I've ever found. Not much of a shade range but the formula is awesome if you just want a quick cover. Thanks for another great video!

I appreciate the review of the products that I can get less expensively and give this a try. For $75 I have a nice starter kit of makeup. I didn't select a contouring palette yet, and the Rephr Eyelash Curler wasn't available on the site on which I ordered everything but I was able to select everything else. Now I'm going to go clean out makeup in my bathroom that I haven't touched since Covid! Thanks for the inspiration!!

I really appreciated your comment about medium coverage for everyday wear. I am trying to find that balance of looking good but still "natural" in the light of day. One question, do you use or have a favorite primer for eyes?

You may be targeting the over 50s, but I’m sure there are a few of us not far from 50, who feel like we’re going through a “puberty in reverse”, trying to avoid the mutton-dressed-as-lamb trap 🙄🙄.

@LisaMonique Жыл бұрын

It’s hard, especially with some dollar store type brands. Otherwise for drugstore foundation I usually examine the shades at home on a computer and then I can narrow down what shade I’m looking for before I go to the drugstore. A lot of time in the drugstore they don’t have the full range either so that is frustrating as usually it’s the darker shades which I need that are cut off. I’m not sure if you are in the US, but I return foundations if I don’t get the right shade, or rather I will return any make up if I don’t like the shade. Eventually you get an eye for which terrible plastic color swatch actually looks good on you lol. Or even what shades look best through the glass or plastic packaging.

Peachy tones look great with blue eyes, they really make the blue pop. So even if your going brown, look for more orangey browns!

Hi love your channel can you tell me WHATS the best affordable wrinkle cream i can purchase?

@LisaMonique 2 жыл бұрын

I can’t really recommend a wrinkle cream because I look for moisture in my creams, and serums or my Tretinoin for wrinkle reduction. However, I think right now is the most effective at reducing wrinkles so I would look at the Olay retinol Cream if you’re looking at an all in one product.

I can't tell the difference in drugstore vs the high end look! Do you feel the difference at all? I'm perplexed by your love of L'Oreal Voluminous regular mascara. It clumps terribly for me. Do you apply it straight away or pump the tube? I love the L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly mascara. The brush makes all the difference. Must be my application techniques. Love that palette! I agree with the No 7 powder. I use their bronzer on my light skin with a kabuki. Lovely, smooth touch of sun. Looks better than the more pricey one I have. Thank you so much for this. Can't wait for the tools video.

Isn’t that funny about the Voluminous!! What one person loves doesn’t work for the next. I do love my luxury brands, I find some individual drugstore products that work as well or better, but the luxury brands seem more pigmented and finely milled as a whole line. And I like I can test before I buy….or have a salesperson sell something to me, I’m a sucker for the sales pitch lol.

I'm 63, and rarely ever wore makeup. I never really needed to. But now I have dark spots on my face and bits under eyes. I maybe beautiful inside, but I'm looking a little drab on the outside. Wish I had someone give me a makeover to show me what to do. I'm buying the wrong primers for my skin. Plus everything goes into my wrinkles and pores. . If I do use stuff on my face , I put everything on lightly. Need more of a pop. Thank you for your videos. I'll keep watching. 🤩

I love your videos. I now 66yrs and have known I needed to change products, especially the powders to creams. I think I have a lighter skin but that’s me guessing. How do I determine shades etc for m,y skin type if I’m not sure what it is? I’m in Canada and some of the brands you’re mentioning I’ve not seen here. I’ll keep looking for the brands but I’d really appreciate know how to determine my skin type. At least I’ll have a starting point. Thanks so much.

Unfortunately, sometimes it is a little trial and error, but I can tell my cheeks are DRY and they look like all the moisture is sucked out of them if I'm using the wrong foundation or powder. If your Tzone, or nose area gets really shiny or greasy feeling, but you have dry cheeks, you'd be combination and you may need a mattifing primer just no the nose area to absorb oil through out the day. I think most people know if they have oily skin!!

These are Rephr brushes. I feel like I talk about them so much, I didn’t want to repeat, lol. They are a little on the pricey side but they are handmade in Japan. You can buy what’s in their concept store…which I think this set with the shader brush is there right now 40% off rephr.com/?vr=opqowe. (Affiliate link, you can also find them direct)

@@LisaMonique - same. You just have to be careful where you purchase. I bought a $75 Charlotte Tilbury pallet. The formula was nice but colors were too warm and most were also too deep for me. Thankfully I bought from Nordstrom so was easy to return. I replaced with a Catrice pallet at Ulta. Formula was equally nice, better shade range and it was only $15!

Have you tried a tubing mascara? This was my daughters fav: L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara until her mama bought her the more expensive Hourglass Unlocked mascara. They don’t smudge and wash off with soap and water.

I just found your channel and really like the videos I watched tonight. I have been a makeup junkie for a long time and always tried to buy the best brands for my skin within a reasonable price. I moisturize every day/night and use eye creams, I also used face primer, under-eye primer and eyelid primer for as long as I can remember. For the longest time I have used glittery eyeshadows as accents, but have recently developed some major eye area irritations (scaly dry skin) on eyelid and under the eye. I stopped using stored bought primer, I now make my own from aloe vera and almond oil. I am throwing out all my glittery eye shadows. Can you recommend an organic vegan matte eye shadow palette that I might try.

@LisaMonique 2 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately, I don’t have that info on the products! I do know Elf, Wet n Wild, and Viseart are cruelty free. Our eyelids show the most change, don’t they!! Are you using retinoids or retinols near the eye? Sometimes you don’t need to put them on the eyes to still have a drying effect, especially Tretinoin.

@michellebercier6815 2 жыл бұрын

@@LisaMonique thank you for replying I really appreciate that. I do use L’Oréal hyaluronic serum in the morning and the L’Oréal night serum with retinol at bedtime. I’ve since stopped using those…I actually spent time on the Elf website last night and I’m gonna order some products. As someone who recently turned 50 my skin care routine is the so important. I can’t stop aging, but I’m trying to improve the look of it. Makeup used to be a daily occurrence when I worked in the office, the last 18 months it literally became the least important thing. I’m starting back at the office 1 day a week next week and I found the 5 min makeup video you posted and I’m going to follow it. I’ve never been great at implementing new techniques, I’ve done the same makeup style for 30 years but it’s time to have my makeup more refined and mature. I really think you are fabulous and looking forward to watching more videos.

I definitely need help I loved make up when younger yep full Punk look oh those were the days. I now have no clue look in store and leave it is a different Laungage what heck is CC, BB creams, can't get hang of Bronzer, Contour and Blush. As for brushes what ones to buy and what to use for what. I now have time to play with make up but clueless. Loved the green shadow. I am concentrating on getting in to a cleanse, tone and moisturiser routine... I am getting there skin less dry.... I have never had skin issues never had even a pimple however last year skin became so dry it was like hmmm now you are 55 start paying price for just washing face with water all those years and only product used was SPF. Never to old to learn... I appreciate channel as due to Covid can not get samples or girls on make up counter to try make up on me and do not want to spend loads on wrong products.

Hi Lisa … thanks and quick question..when it comes to how long to keep any products …lipstick, eye, foundation..when not used up right away? 🧐 I’m sure I’ve got a stash that’s way to old.

@LisaMonique 2 жыл бұрын

Disclaimer: This is not official advice, this is just what I personally am doing. I have literally THOUSANDS of dollars of makeup purchased in the last 2 - 2 1/2 years. My rule of thumb for anything wet: has it separated, discolored, changed consistency, oxidized, does it smell? If so, I toss. Then I ask myself "how old is it?" None of my purchases for KZfaq are over 2 1/2 years old, so I'm not tossing unless one of the above happens (which it has on a few products). Some of the makeup I purchased when I did hair and makeup on clients is a few years old but I moved upstairs to my personal stash. For true powder products, I have always finely sprayed with 70% alcohol to sterilize, so I'll keep until it no longer looks good or hardens up or I just don't like. For mascara's and such, I usually replace once they get too thick. If something's really old, like 5-7 years old, I'd toss unless collector item, like some of the luxury limited editions. I don't own any of those and I don't have any makeup that old! Like my favorite Charlotte Tilbury Cream Eyes to Mesmerize shadow is probably 2 1/2 years old and I still use all the time and am not going to toss anytime soon!! When I was younger, I probably had makeup that was 10 years old and still used before they started putting expiration dates on makeup, lol...but use your own discretion. Official position would be to follow expiration date.
