This is what I love about you Elle.... you help us, give us tools, guide us and teach us. Every skin, face shape, texture is different and you always give us options. Love u!

Such a great quick lesson - thank you! And thanks for always remembering the aging/mature face - you give the best advice for us! x

Best contour/highlight instruction I’ve seen and I love that you tell people you don’t always need those products. I’d love to hear more techniques for makeup for very mature women:)

Great tips as always. Would really like to see your professional tips on minimizing deep marionette lines and deep upper lip wrinkles. I’m 58 and the lines and wrinkles in these areas have become so deep set. Love to know an simple and quick way to minimize these lines. Thank you.

Finally !! Explained in a way that ladies who are not a makeup artist can understand!! I have a thin long face ( due to wright loss and aging) when you said skip this part .. subscribed right away !!!

You have got to be my favorite beauty influencer! You’re tips are always bomb. Thanks

YOUR ARE A GODSEND! I’m so glad I found you. I’m 50 and have been fighting cancer for several years, have went through 2 bone marrow transplants. It’s all taken a toll on me and caused a lot of weight loss. I’ve lost all the volume on the sides of my face and hollow eyes. All the big influencers are young and have perfect faces still so everything they do makes me look terrible. I have not seen 1 influencer with your knowledge and give these tips. This matte highlighter you showed is beautiful. I love highlight but your so right it accents all my eye wrinkles. Can wait to try it out. Thank you ,Thank you😘

I love watching you! You tell why as well as how. Great video!

Thank you so much for this tutorial Elle! I found it very useful. You really are amazing! If you're seeking suggestions for Tuesday Tips I would like to learn more about what type of lipstick is best for 50+ lips (matte vs satin vs glossy etc) and easiest/quickest way to apply it. Thank you!

Thank you for the tips! You are the best and I love that you consider us aging women...turning 62 on the 30th and am always looking for tips such as this! Love your tutorials ❤️

You are the true master makeup artist and should be seen by everyone who wants to learn from the best!!

You're the MOST LOGICAL makeup enthusiast, and ARTIST, on KZfaq. Love this video. QUESTION: Will you do a tutorial on your eye shadow in this video? I loved your video about lifting hooded or down turned eyes, but I've been curious about what to do to achieve that lifted look, with a wider variety of eyeshadow shades. I hope you'll consider doing a part 2 to that video, and I'd also love to see how you created this eyeshadow look, the colors are so gorgeous. THANK YOU!!

Elle- I had no idea a Matte highlighter existed! Omg. Thx for this video- You’re the best💕

I would just like to say that I have learned more from you than any other beauty KZfaqr that I watch, which is a bunch. I have gotten tips and ideas about eyeshadow from others, but you have taught me so much about skincare, makeup base, sculpting, makeup with glasses, etc...and I really appreciate all the tips and find that you are wonderful at teaching us your craft. I love the videos and all the hard work. Always look forward to the content you post. Thanks! ❤

Wow! That is an amazing demo! You can see the difference between the two sides of your face and I am jumping aboard this lifted train! Thank you for the very helpful tips! ♥

This was an amazing how-to video! I absolutely love the step by step instruction and how you show exactly how to do it, not just talking about how to do it. And it wasn't too fast where I had to keep going back to understand what you were teaching. Great, great video!

Thank you for such a well delivered instructional session. So well explained and demonstrated. As a 62 year old who knew zero about makeup application, I really appreciate the time you take and deliver such well styled tutorials. Laurie

Great tips... I need to hold my brushes with a lighter hand. How about ... best way to use eyeliner on mature eyes & best liners.😘

Thx Elle. There are a LOT of us aging faces out there! And we still want to look our best!

I loved this video, Elle! I have recently lost 45 lbs, and I’m in my 50’s, so all this heavy contouring/highlighting that is so prevalent in the beauty community is not flattering on me. Honestly, I think it is best reserved for photography, not every day life, no matter our age. The comment I am receiving the most is, “I can really see the weight loss in your face,” which concerns me because my face shape is already oval, so the loss of volume isn’t necessarily welcome. You addressed that very well in this video.

I'm glad you used powder bronzer/blush. I find them easier to use and give me less breakouts, or no breakouts really. Ty!

I'm 31 years old and just now got to the point where I want to experiment with make up. And I just wanted to let you know that your videos have helped me so much and you are appreciated ❤

Thank you for explaining the different techniques for different face shapes and ages!

Loved this video. Also loved your makeup application. Beautiful eye shadow color.

Hi Elle! Thanks for another class! I so look forward to your instructional videos for more mature faces. The changes we undergo require new techniques. You have helped me personally to grow older more gracefully and to bring out the beauty of my more “experienced” face. Many blessings! 😊

I think a lot of people bring the bronzer, or contour, way too low- making the face look muddy or appear to have a bronzer beard. Some great advice I received is to start a touch higher than the ear (or don’t slant it as much) and then blend up rather than down once placed. It lifts the face, not working against you. Beautiful as always and another fantastic video.

I love the way you explain everything. I'm glad I found your channel. It makes it so much easier.

Omg mind blown with the blush application. Awesome tips. Thanks a million

This video is so helpful! I’ve been applying the bronzer to my ‘smallish’ forehead incorrectly. I also didn’t know about highlighting above my eyebrows! Yay I’m so excited to try these techniques!! 🙌 Thx so much! 💖

Oh boy! I wish I knew about matte highlighter before I bought all those shiny ones! Will definitely check that out. GREAT tips for gently lifting the face. I'm much happier with higher blush placement! Thank you for freeing my very low forehead/hairline from bronzer! Happy to stop doing that!

you are my GO-TO person for makeup. why? because we're similar age, have similar skin tone, and same face shape. It's awesome! thanks for all your work!

Elle thanks so much for the older ladies as myself showing us such awesome ways for our make up to make us look younger! I've been blessed to look younger than I am but at almost 60 it's gonna catch up soon enough

Elle-- It was very helpful to see you do one side of your face only! It looked so natural, yet the enhancement was noticeable. I will try your tips. Thank you!

I just love you. Thanks for the tips. I have recently had to switch up skincare and makeup due to aging and you're so helpful

Your are a wonderful teacher. Love you and your videos. I like some others would love a video on sunken eyes and eyes with bags and tear troughs. Highlight placement to use or not to use and placement of blush and eyeshadow for sunken eyes and bags!!! Gee, I’m not asking for a lot sorry. Thanks.

as someone who has long struggled with blush placement, and recently lost a lot of weight, I cannot thank you enough for this video!

😄 Good job on making your angles clear, at the start 😄!! Love that Nars brush. It's a piece of art in itself! I'm going to get the highlighter (for med/dark tone as I am) It looks great and you did a great application, overall. I too do makeup, as well as hair, for my profession. You're beautiful, Elle! Thank you 🤗

Love this video, and I'm glad to see I've been doing my powders exactly how you do them. (I have a VERY similar face shape to you. Mine used to be heart shaped as well) I watch a couple of women who smile and put blush on the apple of their cheek, and sometimes it looks ok, but other times I do think it drags the face down some. I'd love to see them apply it the way you showed. I think it would make a big difference. Anyway, thank you for sharing!

Great tips Elle. You are a Fantastic teacher. Love Anne. 💕🙏💕

👑👑👑 Thank goodness for these tutorials. Just hearing you explain why my blush does not look pretty if I smile as I’m doing it; was like an epiphany. When you do these big tutorials I watch them again and again. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Thank you! 😘😘😘

Elle, I just watched about 8 of your videos in a row, this morning, and will probably want to come back again & watch these again because I thought they were so so good! This one is old and so I doubt if you will see this comment, so I'll post it again on one of your more recent videos You are rapidly becoming my favorite Beauty Guru on KZfaq!! ☺👍🏼☮

Your show and tell is always the best!!!

Thank you for specific instructions. I really appreciate the details.

Great video, Elle! I want to try the Benefit Shy Beam. 💕💖

Oh Elle, thank you for this video. I hope Benefit has enough of this highlighter!! Our mature faces need these tips.Have a blessed week.

Another great video Elle!! Please keep on informing us about new skincare or make up products that would make a difference for an aging under eye area.Thanks❤❤❤

Your skin looks amazing.Thank you for sharing your tips 😍👍🏻

Wonderful, informational video! Thank you Elle! I do have a suggestion and that is how tricky and hard it is to cover the shadow that comes from under eye bags. I need to know which is the best concealer for this, and which tool and how to blend so that it works and stays put for the day. I myself am a MUA, however, I just can’t seem to get this specific concealing right. I would greatly appreciate your take on that.

Hi! I rewatched today! Thanks! I’m 46 and my skin is better and my makeup is simple and beautiful ! God bless 🙏❤️

I'm glad i found you few months ago. YT is saturated with young influencers that only promote product and cakes their faces which is not suitable for wearing outside home. Being 44 y/o, I'm getting into terms that I have to change how to apply make up. It s also surprising to note that my all time favourites does not sit well on my skin as it used to be. Thanks for sharing your expertise to us "far from being millennials" group. More power to you. You deserve more subscribers!

Wow! I live all things make up and beauty - how have I never known that there’s such thing as “matte highlighter”?!?! Thinking back I probably knew the difference based on how they enhance texture, or not, but I never knew that was even a thing! I guess I just thought it was a matter of a shimmer or a glittery texture highlighter but I’m totally mind blown!! So helpful Elle! Thank you!! Now I’m off to google all things ‘matte highlighter’ lol

You are a very good teacher!! I love the affirmative and confidence you project. Thank you so much!!

Great video! Now off to watch the mature skin one.

Thank you SO much for this! I have been struggling with bronzer application. Much appreciated! Very concise :)

Best video ever!

Hi Elle, I really enjoy watching your videos because there is so much good information regarding makeup and skincare...you are an excellent teacher! ❌⭕️❌

Explained very well!. One of the best videos on contouring ,highlighting and blush application that I have seen for mature faces. Thank you so much!!

Your makeup looks flawless. Thanks for the tips

You are now my fav youtube skin care and makeup guru! Love your videos and thank you for sharing your knowledge. :)

Thanks thanks and thanks for such an insight on make up for people like me who are searching you tube tutorials for the make up of their own

Great video for mature skin. Love your explanation on application of product

I have one of the most rare face shapes, the diamond! There is a lot of controversy on makeup placement for this face shape. Some say to apply in ways to hide the shape and make it appear more oval since that is the "ideal" face shape and others say to use techniques that will actually enhance it and make it even more pronounced because its uniqueness is beautiful and you shouldn't hide it. I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions on makeup placement for this face shape!

I just found you doing a bronzer use search and subscribed. I'm so glad I found your channel!

Brilliant video, and tips that are really helpful. I’m at the stage where everything I was doing in my 20’s just isn’t looking right now I’m nearly 40 and getting quite frustrated with makeup in general even though I’m trained to do it (albeit quite a long time ago)... will be trying these in the morning 😊

Great tip about going along the jawline - never heard that before. Great info!

Best instructions. You explained everything so well. Thank you very much.

So pleased to hear that you do classes and so glad I can watch you from the other side of the world - you Elle are a natural teacher and giver. ❤️This video was so useful, thank you. I am so jealous that I can't go and watch you in sephora - trust me if I could I would be there in the crowd. 💕💕

Again such a great informative video. Thank you so much. You are a great teacher. So refreshing to watch

Having a round face, contour is everything. I'm very small, 46 yrs old and my face is still as round as it was when I was a child.

I'm loving your channel so much! I'm older (and heavier) now & my face & body are very different. Like you I'm oval, but a bit fuller. My biggest problem relating to bronzer has been the jaw line. My skin is quite full under my chin. It made bronzing that area difficult. There's really not alot of defined area between jawline & neck. I feel better now having a plan of exactly how to do it. Tyvm ❤️

These tips are so helpful. Thank you! Please consider doing a video about blush colors for different tones and undertones.

Finally!! Contouring appropriate for my 39 yr old (really any age though!) face. Love it! So soft and natural. 🙌🙌💕😘

Your videos are some of the most informative about makeup and skincare on KZfaq. Thank you for taking the time to share them with us!💝💝💝💝💝

I know this video is 3 years old but I just watched it today - sooooo helpful! Thank you!

Another really useful video. For dayly use. Am happy to have an oval face. I hope you are thankful for your gift to show all of us not so talented how to apply and use make up. Wait for next instruction lol hugs from a cool and windy Sweden 👵💓

Hi Elle, I really love the way you explain how to put makeup on an aging face. Can you please give me some pointers on where and what kind of eyeshadow to use for an aging skin? Keep up the good work.

Elle, this is so unbelievably helpful. Due to health reasons my weight is extremely low, hence a sort of sunken in face. I’ve still been using a bronzer below my cheekbones, probably making things worse. So much great info here!!

You are such a great teacher !!!💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

Excellent blush application and tips. Thank you!

Already change to a matte blush! Love it❤️

I just Love how you did this vid!! Youexplained everything so well! Not only did u tell & show us how to do these things...you explained Why...awesome! Also, you included tips for when it wouldn't b necessary. How awesome is that!! I'm just blown away at how well you conveyed all the info to us🤗 Woman, you totally ROCK!!!😍😘💋💜❣😉😎

Thanks for the tips!! I learned a couple of things tonight. Brush size for one and placement of bronzer for another. So thanks again!

Another fantastic tutorial, so glad I found you! Always appreciate when you include the variations for mature skin.

Loved this and learned a lot. Thanks for another great one xx

Another winner tutorial! You break things down into such easy steps, and I enjoy knowing what products are your go-tos. Thanks!

Fabulous tutorial! Great explanations of what you're doing, WHY you're doing it, and common mistakes made when using outdated or improper techniques! I also appreciated your insight on brushes, and I see how beneficial it is to have different styles of brush blushes! I learned a lot, and will be experimenting, and employing a lot of your advice!

Great tips Elle! Thank you for sharing! Would also love to learn more eye lining tips for different eye shapes as well as different techniques. I struggle sometimes with eye liner.

Your videos are awesome! And you explain your tips and such detail! You really stand out among the other beauty channels. Once again.... Thank you!!!

I can't wait to try these tips! When I first started watching youtube several years ago, I was in shock as to how many steps there were for the cheek area. The most important thing I learned today is how to contour the jaw line. My round steroid face needs all the help it can get. I am just know watching this because we lost power off and on last night. I am very happy to say that hurricane Michael came and went VERY quickly for us (in South Carolina). Send good thoughts to all the thousands of people without power.

This video is fantastic! Just what I needed! Thank you!!!

I really appreciate this video - as I approach 64 I have found all the different advice for placement of blush and bronzer to be completely confusing and you really explain it well. I am going to immediately play with these tips

I purchased the Charlotte Tilbury bronze and glow palate over the weekend and I love how it looks on the skin. Obsessed lol.

Love love love your tutorials! Real, easy to follow, well-articulated so I feel confident I can repeat your steps. Keep it coming, beautiful!

I actually have fun practicing with makeup. I just used these tips and they really helped me. Thank you for all of your help. You are great! Have a great week!

Thanks so much Elle, i used those brand the only thing i dont really know how to use. Im a square face and its hard to define. Please make video for square face . Thanks and i found you very easy to follow

Hey Elle!!! You're such a good teacher!!! The way you explain things is so clear that nobody can go wrong! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! Greetings from Argentina! 😘😘😘😘

So happy to have found your channel! So hard to find a tutorial that touches on applications for mature skin. If I could comment, though, I don’t know if it’s the proximity of your microphone to the camera, sound quality seems kind of loud and harsh. Other than that, looking forward to watching many more!!!

Beautiful and very helpful. Thank you Elle.

I would love to see a video on how to make a “mature” (we’re talking in the 60’s) face look fuller! Ty❣️

Amazing!!!! Really in-depths!! Thank you so much!
