A natural beauty co-worker said to me, " you know how your husband tells you every morning how beautiful you are?" I commented that my husband rarely tells me I'm beautiful. She replied with pity in her voice, " and you work so hard at it!" 😂. Not sure that was a compliment, but I'll keep working at it!

Totally agree 👍

I believe making a little effort in our appearance and taking good care of ourselves (not necessarily a full face of makeup every day) is also a form of respect to other people. It also depends on the occasion, for example if I only have to go grab some groceries I will not spend as much time getting ready as if I had to go out for dinner, but still I try to avoid looking frumpy, sometimes it really does not take much. For a job interview, even on zoom, I like to put on a little makeup and look at least presentable and professional. It just means that you care enough. This obviously does not apply to people who have legitimate reasons to be unable to groom themselves (depression, disabilities or any other difficult circumstances) but most people are just lazy.

I'm 66 and of course our era was all about making an effort and not looking frumpy. We wouldn't be caught dead going out in public with hair curlers, slippers, and PJs. Proper undergarments were expected. I mean, we had hygiene classes in high school about how to dress, take care of our nails, do our hair, etc etc. These days, who knows what's being taught? It was considered self-respect and respect for the senses of others, who have to look at us. I mean, if someone wants to look like a schlub, that's their lookout, but then they shouldn't expect any respect!!

Funny. I just went to Sephora a couple weeks ago, to use up some points etc and ended up getting a small tube of Supergoop. I have used it in the past, but I think it was a sample or something. It was fantastic but full size was expensive so I decided against it. I've come around to realising it's worth the expense. I've also got the L'Oreal serum foundation, and I use the primer that goes with it; it's really nice! One thing I haven't tried is the Estee Lauder foundation, but so many people seem to swear by it, that I think I'll need to give it a try....!!!

@@johannaholmgren8088 I bought the Estée Lauder foundation (I currently wear the L’Oreal foundation that Gabi recommends). I wore the Estée Lauder yesterday and omg, it is the best! I applied it around 9 yesterday morning and wore it for over 12 hours and it still looked fantastic on my skin! No settling in lines, no oxidation, etc. I understand now why every one loves it!

What do you like about the L'Oreal foundation?

I noticed after a certain age women cut their hair super short and start dressing like men. Big sweatshirts and sloppy pants. I can’t relate.

Yes!! Love this comment. I would love a video on the different brushes as well. Thanks for posting!

Add in some instructions for cleaning those brushes, too, please!

Absolutely agree 😊

I agree, more videos that target color corrector and concealers!

Fair trade is so important too. If we can protect animals (which we should!) we should protect each other too. Who is making our makeup and fashion items? If there's an incredible price, somebody pays💜

judy9165...Cruelty-Free Kitty has an AMAZING website dedicated to Cruelty-Free beauty products. The founder has done a prestigious job in her research & publishing SO much helpful information for those looking for Cruelty-Free brands, even sustainable sourced or environmentally responsible. Even their monthly subscription box, now called Better Beauty box, is really great & the 1st subscription box where I actually received full sized products that I actually had use for the entire box. I'm confident you will find the information about brands you are looking for...and so much more!

I have textured skin and the glow products high light those areas which I dislike. So I agree with you regarding lines. I would probably just use a satin product only in spots that I don’t have lines or texture. But those areas need to Matte for me.

I tried the Estee Lauder futurist hydra rescue moisture makeup spf 45: and I love it. Medium coverage,satin to radiant finish depending on if I got carried away with application. A bit pricey but it goes on sale.

Good point. I use ELF poreless primer and then blend a cream foundation on my hand with more of the primer. I blend 2 shades to get it just right.

Good morning beautiful love these kind of videos, thank you so much for this video. I just turned 50 I really needed this video❤😘😊have a wonderful day

Thank you so much for this video it's so helpful I love that some of the products are cruelty free TULA & Supergoop 💚 I put them in my Amazon cart to try. 🌸

Hi Gabi!!! First, I have to say “You’re AMAZING!!” I love all the subjects you discuss and have tired. I also respect your reviews. You got me on the sunscreen Supergoop, Glow Screen. I do use a foundation practically everyday. ( Nars light reflecting, and Clinique (Even Better makeup evens and corrects). Both are nice. The Estée Lauder I did have but the color was a bit too warm… so I pitch it!!!! Ugh 😑…. Noe I’m not sure what color it was and also not sure what color to re order. I remember that it was a beautiful finish to it, but as I said looked kinda orange. I always wanted to be a hairdresser, but my dad said, “No, you’re going to college.” I missed out on my dream but I’m all about “Taking care of my hair and makeup.” To me, there’s no such thing as trying to hard. You have to take the time out to look as good as you can. (My opinion) If others judge, (they have…😂) you can’t let it bother you. I go on at 56 years of age changing my makeup as my skin changed too. I’m happy to say I enjoy ALL of your videos…. I’m a huge makeup and hair junkie… so I’ll tell ya I just bought that Tymo hairdryer you had mentioned. Ha ha!!! It’s really sweet as it’s light weight compared to my Elchim 3900 healthy ionic in pink. 🩷😁 Thank you for your time and videos. You do an incredible job reaching out as if we were friends. Enjoy the upcoming holiday beautiful!!! 🙏🏻🇺🇸💙♥️🫶🏻

Man, 49, sunblock everyday for 30 years. No one believes me when I tell them my age. My skin age was analysed by an A.I. And it gives me 39 years old. I use the La Roche Posey sun block. I use the mattfying je but I may change it for the sheer. Thanks for the tip.

@@jenxsj3902 That is amazing!!! I hope to have the same experience. I am RELIGIOUS about my sunscreen and my skincare routine in general.

I’ll make more videos for you!! I’m going to go on a hunt for the very best concealer ever. I am still working my way through some to see what’s best. Stay tuned for that!

I am so happy that you are here! Thank you for joining the community! It means the world to me.

Thank you so much! What a sweet and thoughtful comment. You have no idea how much that means to me.

You're so welcome! I’m so happy to hear that it was helpful ❤️

You got it Sherry! I will definitely make more content in this style. It is so much fun for me to go through all my products and think about what worked and what didn't.

Me, too… Florida
