Not only "Old Hollywood"...I grew up in the Caribbean, and anyone who performed on stage (or pageants, parades, horse shows, and the like) 40 or 50 years ago wore Vaseline, Nivea, Pond's Cold Cream, Eucerin, rose salve, or some sort of thick, slippery "balm" under makeup. (And yes, some of us wore Max Factor Pancake often!) Actually, when I saw Bobbi Brown's "Jones Road" Miracle Balm, my first thought was, "Ah, it's Aquaphor with a tint!"

I am 7 minutes in and can already tell you are the channel I've been looking for! I searched Mature Skin how to...took me forever. I want KNOWLEDGE. NOT A random lady reviewing products. Thank you for your channel. I can't wait to learn! Sincerely, Your neighborhood Cosmotologist ❤

My really good friend has been using chapstick under her concealer for years and years because it was so cold there that it was the only way her under eyes stayed fresh looking all day long. I did that in so many videos when I started but I used a different product besides chapstick. I love when old meets new! Great job, Michelle!!!!

I also saw where Scott Barnes uses the Aquafor stick under the eyes to keep concealer from crinkling.

We all need your milia trick thanks 😊

You look so beautiful! I've never used Aquaphor before, however, I do apply Jergen's Face Cream (in the big pink jar) after I apply my SPF and before I put my Seint on every single day, it goes on so smoothly. 😊 I am 52 and I learned this from my grandmother, and it never fails. 🎉 Thanks for making this video. ❤

Oh my I’ve been using aquaphor lip balm with sunscreen on my eye lids and under the eyes for years. Great eye primer.

So glad that you did this video....I'll be trying the Aquaphor. Thanks, Michelle😊

I just went on Sephora to buy the one size primer. I go every year deep sea fishing for a week straight so I need something to keep my makeup on and my sweat at bay. This will be a test. I will be using multiple layers of sunblock. At sea the sun will destroy your skin. My skin barely sees the sun because I barely leave my house during normal circumstances. I wear long sleeves and leggings to keep the rest of my body safe from the sun. We go to Hampton NH. Even though we stay on the beach in a motel I don't go onto the beach. I don't know how those people just lay in direct sun. I'm 47 and I have excellent skin because I don't like being out in the sun. The heat drives me nuts. But I'm excited to see how the primer works. I like looking pretty even fishing 300ft deep waters. 😊 Long days.

A staple in black families. Vaseline growing up!❤

Thanks for the wonderful video! My two favorite primers are urban decay all nighter primer (not the spray but the face primer) and Laura geller hydrating (specifically the hydrating one) spackle primer. I live in hot muggy houston Texas and the urban decay all nighter primer is absolutely amazing, even in high humidity and temperatures over 100F. The hydrating Laura geller is my favorite for colder weather. Both fantastic for mature skin in my opinion. Of course these things are so personal to each person though. If you ever get bored with opinions I highly suggest them. Thanks again for the amazing video. I’ll wait to try the aquaphor trick until I go skiing this winter. I think I will love it then!

I love learning these insider tips. I'm going to try it! Thanks for mentioning the potential skin reactions; I can be prone to milia.

Love that straw you used…can’t believe this is the first time I’m seeing your channel. Instant subscribe

I love your hair color! Thank you so much for posting this Aquaphor video. I had NO idea what it was for and had a large unopened one (must have been a gift). I'm using it now and FINALLY got a perfect blend with my Seint foundation. I won't use it daily but I do have some hot outdoor activities coming up so am so thankful for this video!

Looks beautiful & I am going to try the Aquaphor hacks.

I bet Aquafor stock went up this week, lol! I’ll bite and try it, but I’m especially grateful to you for the One Size demo for the summer.heat! Good to see DEMI does fine with whatever primer under the eye. Great to know French Face (which I ADORE) and Seint play well with either primer you applied! FOR THE LOOK GOOD CLOSE UP CLUB: I have a terrible time keeping shadow or liner on under the lower lash-line. I have recently discovered that when 03 DEMI is applied as a buffer just beneath a line of lower lash-line eyeliner (set/softened with a shadow), the lower liner doesn’t travel! Experimenting-as Michel is always encouraging-for 20 years finally worked! At least I never gave up, lol. Hope this helps someone else!!!

I love your expertise and knowledge you provide ❤❤ and background 😊😊

You look AMAZING 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I really need the Aquaphor for the winter but may try it now also!! I’m dry but oily t zone in summer and depending on weather in the Deep South i sometimes get oily in winter. The Aquaphor side is GORGEOUS and the other side is beautiful but I LOVE THE Aquaphor side best!! Love you my beautiful friend❤❤😘🙋‍♀️

I am up for the challenge! I will let you know how it holds up in this horrendous humidity on my oily/combo skin! Thanks for the great comparison video! ❤

I agree you are so beautiful. I love your honesty and your amazing videos. Appreciate you so much. 🤩

Wow! I never, ever would have thought of this! I'll try it tomorrow with my Seint.

The Aquaphor side just looks SO GOOD, I can hardly believe how good that looked! And THANK YOU for explaining the order of products. I can get turned around pretty fast when using new products lol

You are very beautiful! I am going to try this Vaseline hack! Thanks for the tips!

I started tretinoin almost 2 yrs ago. I found this awesome squalane stick. It gets insanely cold where I live... so between the cold and my skin flaking, I just used that squalane stick all around my face (especially my eyes). I noticed my makeup looked better, worn better, and you couldn't detect a flake.... so I just stuck writh it lol. Definitely will try Aquaphor. Thanks Michelle ❤ Klarissa

Flower beauty sounds good, but I am craving some luxury makeup dos and don’t. Whatever you decide, will be here to watch! Love your channel!

I use this for my hands great for dry skin. Going to try it.

love the red hair!

I struggle with makeup really bad. I'm 55 and I literally just did a makeup video captioning that I need advice lol and I stumbled across this! I am here for it. I love Vaseline and I did not know that you can use it as a primer but let me finish watching your video. I used to use aquaphor around my stomach area, when I wrapped it for working out. It was better than sweet sweat lol It's good to see that it is just great for everything. I need all the tips and tricks that I can get, on top of that, I really need to invest in some decent makeup. But nothing breaks my skin out accept Mary Kay, so I never really go on a hunt for expensive makeup. I have seen makeup artist on KZfaq crediting Scott Burns for the aquaphor discovery, and I'm always thinking to myself I'm sure it came from somewhere else and you just confirmed it.

I tried it and you were right! My Seint and cream makeup stayed on all day through sweat and dust. FYI. It has zero scent and is great on lips too! I also loved how soft my skin was in the morning after applying it the night before after washing my face. I got the small tube to try it out, but I'll be buying the tub for sure lol. Thanks again for the amazing tip!

Ooh, I'd love a flower beauty video! Nikki La Rose did the blush the other day. I'd love to see everything! I'll be home alone for the weekend so I'll be watching KZfaq a lot!😁

I would love to watch one of your videos memorial weekend because I stay home holiday weekends, traffic is a nightmare in So Cal.

Great video as usual Michelle! Thank you! God bless!❤

Loved the video! I didn't have Aquaphor on hand but used Cerave Healing Ointment which I had on hand. Love love the results!

That hair color really pops your skin and eyes!

Will try this asap! ❤

I love this idea except for the millia issue! I began using mascara at 17 in 1977. Maybelline pink/green one, of course! My grandma wore it so I asked how to remove it. “Vaseline is the best eye makeup remover.” So I used it for 25 yrs at least! Cheap & worked beautifully w a soft washcloth. My mom wasn’t into face care at all & minimal makeup if going out, so I learned from her mom! Used a dove bar to wash my face. I didn’t use foundation until my 20’s, just cover girl powder & a lil blusher. I fell in ❤ w/ lip color at 20& have never looked back! I’ve heard of Seint but have yet to meet anyone who uses it! Any suggestions for a Seint newby at 63? I love the way it looks on you! ❤

Really enjoying playing with this technique. The blending is soooo smooth with the Vaseline I used ( I don’t have aquaphor)

Definitely going to try Aquafor as we head into an already brutally hot summer in south Florida. Although I have to tell you Seint makeup has been holding up incredibly well without any primer! I was literally pouring sweat helping my daughter move. I thought for sure my makeup was running, but when I looked in the mirror it was gorgeous!

Once again great tip!! ❤

Can't wait to try this.

I will definitely try the Aquaphor tomorrow when I do my makeup. I sweat so much when I walk in the heat. I will let you know. Thank you❤

What is your trick to get rid of milia??

By the early 2010s, HD cameras had become a standard in both consumer electronics and professional production environments, marking their mainstream adoption. Thank you for sharing these great tips - definitely am in a new realm - in this older stage of life.

I just love to watch and learn from you!

Hey Michelle- I never heard of flower beauty before....I don't use Aquaphor, but in the winter in Denver my daughter uses it all the time and her skin is perfect.(almost 24 on May 28). I am afraid to try because I don't want any whiteheads. Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

I only use this method during WINTER months. If I get too much Sun, I use Aquaphore in my night skincare routine.

I tried this trick this morning after watching the video last night. I was doubtful and oh so wrong. Game changer.

Can’t wait to try it . I have trouble to keep my makeup to stay on my chin no matter what primer or foundation I use . I work in a school kitchen which method do you think will work better under my seint ?

Michele have you tried Anastasia brow products in Caramel. I have similar coloring to you and found it to be perfection.

You look so amazing Michelle! ❤️ I just came across one of your videos from I guess when your channel was called Clean Beauty Babe. It was your video on clean foundations. I’ve been searching for more clean makeup for the fact that almost 10 yrs ago, once in a while I was having an allergic reaction to my concealer around my eyes. Since then, as the yrs have passed it’s gotten worse to point where almost every time I wear concealer,I have a reaction! It’s not just my eyes now either, but anywhere I put the concealer! Ugh! I’ve tried so many different concealer too… both high end to drug store, trying to find one that doesn’t affect me. I thought I’d found one, but after using it for a month or so, it’s now bothering me. I’ve read you can use a product and have a reaction right away, or after using one for months or years! I usually know right away though if I’m going to react to one. Foundations under my eyes don’t cover the circles, and of course usually accentuate any texture or lines etc. I’ve had dark circles since I was a kid. It’s hereditary with many people in my family. I’ve now got a little bit of a tear trough, so that adds to the darkness also. It doesn’t help the fact that I’m now 57, either. (What us women deal with! Lol!) I’ve been trying to research ingredients to try and figure out what ingredients/ ingredients that are causing this allergic reaction, bc I love makeup so much! I NEVER used leave the home without any! I even put makeup in before having my 6 kids! Lol! I’ve yet to pinpoint the exact ingredient or more that’s causing this. But I think I’m getting closer. I’m curious if you’re still into clean makeup. I loved that foundation video so much, I started to watch many of your videos and noticed you use Seint makeup. On a couple of my clean skin care and makeup apps,Seint doesn’t get the best ratings for some of the ingredients they use. But you look so lovely, and your skin looks so great in all of your Seint makeup videos, that I was wondering if the ratings I’m seeing on their products, are old ratings? I’m wondering if they do use clean, non toxic ingredients in their products now? I have seen so many video of women our age,50+, using Seint makeup bc they’re cream based, which I’ve been wanting to start trying cream products. Any advice about Seint products and clean makeup if you have the time, would be truly appreciated! Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos! I’m a forever fan and going to start binge watching them!😊 God bless!❤️🙏🏻

Definitely blends effortlessly

Dermatologists don’t recommend applying any product with petrolatum over sunscreen. It disrupts the protective layer the sunscreen relies on for protection.

I went online and ordered right away.

I saw the part of Scott Barnes video about using the aquaphor lip balm under the eyes. I'm going to try that for sure. How does the beekman 1802 compare to naked sundays?

We always have Aquaphor in the house because my son has eczema. I never thought of using it as a primer or under my eyes.

I love you! I'm going to try aquaphor tomorrow - I have been using tinted spf right now as a foundation. Do I put the aquaphor under that?

Im new to your channel AND im obssesed. I just turned 40 so im looking for all the tricks., Thank you. I have a question, I use IT CC+ full coverage foundation, Can I use the Aquaphor while using that foundation OR does this method only work well with cream foundations!? I have never used a cream foundation before. Thank you in advance @Mature Makeup Masterclass 💖

Funny, I do use this sometimes and works great!

Do you have (or would you do) a video on how you get rid of milia? I get them all the time. I use a lancet, but if there is a better way, I would love to know. 😊

One day I came home from work and was surprised how good my make up still looked. Then it dawned on me that I used aquaphor which I usually do not use in the morning. That being said, I believe it is a great hack. However, as long as you don’t slug it on, I used a little but enough

Would love to see your milia trick please!

Finally adjusting to your new hair color, you look beautiful either way!

Beautiful!

I’ve used castor oil with raving success. I just apply the smallest amount in my palm, then spread it over my hands and warm it up, then just press it onto my skin.

What brand is the NR1 you applied and talked about? I can't find such a thing online, and your notes don't say. It sounds like a good product.

Primer seemed to take off with the eye/eyeshadow shadow primer. First it was the NYX stick in white and then the Urban Decay eyeshadow primers. If I recall Scandinavia has a primer spray (along with their setting sprays) that was huge years before Laura Mercer was big.

I need aquaphor.

I love you so much you are beautiful a great teacher and a good person love Maria Cyprus xxxxxx

Hi, new to your channel ! Do you think the Aquaphor could be used under a liquid foundation such as Fenty Beauty long wear ? Also, I don’t have Aquaphor but I have Cerave ointment I’m thinking that might work similarly…your thoughts ?

Michelle, for under the eye, can we use seint balm instead of the aquafor or one size? I saw another Seint artist using the Seint balm under the eyes and adding a demi or concealer. Your thoughts?

I really think the red cushion foundation “tirtir ‘ patted over the aquaphor would have looked awesome. I think patting foundation and tapping powder with a powder puff to set makeup would work well with your skin versus the brushes that can have a grainy texture and move our hydrating/thicker occlusive like products around on our faces…

I love your videos. About three years ago I bought Seint from someone else. I just didn’t care that much about her, the match mostly so I never bought it again although I loved the product. Could you do a match for me and can I use you as my makeup artist?

Definitely going to try aquafor. Whats your milia trick?

I use Naked Sundays collagen mineral sunscreen. Wouldn't using Aquaphor after that and before Seint's cream makeup be too many layers of moisturizer and occlusive's?

Has anyone used the NYX Blur Screen primer/ sunscreen combo? It’s cheap and seems to keep my Seint on better than more expensive brands I’ve been using. No one I know has ever used it, so I’m curious if others like it. I’m a fan. Trying the Aquaphor trick next! 😊

Could you do a makeup tutorial using KVD Good Apple cream makeup? I have been trying to find a good cream foundation. Im a 58 year old with dry skin. I cant find much cream foundations on the market. I see alot of people say the Good Apple isnt for dry skin. Im open to any suggestions, havent heard of the Cover Fx or Mob beauty cream foundation. No one talks much about any cream foundation for that matter.

Can you share how you get rid of your Millia? My dermatologist charges $400 to laser them and that gets costly.

I use that about 2 years now.. never do a concealer with out my healing baby aquaphor or my stick of vaseline..

Hey Everyone Platinum skin care is having their 25% off sale. I think it’s once a year. Goes for about 5 more days.

Are you considered a warm tone? I've been having a hard time figuring mine out. Apparently cool.

Could one wear sunscreen with the Aquaphor hack? I’m militant about wearing sunscreen, even whilst indoors. Thanks for any advice. ❤

Is that ok to Oily skin and have visible pores as your Primer before bb cream or Foundation?

I can't get Seint where I live (Asia ). Any recommendations for a good alternative ?

I just bought the lip balm 10ml , maybe I can put it on other places on my face as well, but I want to use it for my lips, I get dry lips and when you put on lip gloss it looks flake, I have other lip balms, catrice night lip balm, o,so heavenly lip scrub and then the cream, and I do have Vaseline. But looks like I don't keep on using the one thing, use it ones and twice, then put it a side, but i love this Aquaphor ,how it looks under make up, Aquaphor is actually expensive cream, the lip balm 10ml is R130, I got it on Takealot for R88. And because of THE NEW TREND , I BOUGHT ONE. I WILL HAVE A LOOK WHAT IT COST ,you get so many Aquaphor products, so this one is, the Healing ointment? Is that the one you use for your face, thank you for the tip, your skin is beautiful.😊

Cant find the stick in my country..i have been using a diif lip balm,it works too❤

I'd like to see a vid on SEINT illuminators and the additional lipstick you didn't address on that one video - if you like the ideas at all😅. Just a thought. Appreciate all you do!!!❤🎉😂😂😂

Have you used Salt New York Sneaky Balm foundation? It works better (on my skin) than Seint.

Wow I have yet to find a primer with any silicone that works with my Seint makeup. And I wonder if Cerave healing ointment would work just the same as the aquaphor 🤔

Thanks for the video dear, it was very helpful! 🥰Can I use plain petroleum jelly (vaseline) instead of Aquaphor? I would really like to know your milia trick, please share it with us! 🙏A huge thank you! ❤

Do you think applying Jones Road miracle balm under Seint would be similar?

would Vaseline work well as a primer with liquid foundation. (I have dry skin. ) If yes, do I have to set it with powder? I find it dries out my skin. thx

What is the compact foundation and under eye powder.

I just bought this yesterday and will try!! But ok what is that straw!!?? Haha I think I need- starting to get lip lines so don’t want to use a straw! This helps possibly? You’ve probably mentioned prior?;) TIA

Hello lovely, What a great video! Thank you! My auquaphor is on the way! Question: which mandelic acid peel do you use? I am looking at the Ordinary one, and the one from the Inky list as they are trusted brands and great price points. What do you think? 💭

So intrigued by this but when I was a kid, I used Vaseline to remove my make up. Does your eye make up or blush ever come off because of the Aquaphor?

I have a question about the saint powder or would you suggest some other type like Huda? I notice I always get creasing with powder

Do you still have to use moisturizer

I use aquaphor lightly at night over my skin care

What is your trick to get rid of millia???

Which Seint brush were you using?
