Hey Awesome Ones, do you ever look in the mirror and kind of say, "I'm looking old". I do too
and what I wanted to do is find some ways that I could sort of boost my confidence and really kind
of look more youthful. Now I'm not saying that I want to look like I'm in my 20s again. I'm not saying
that. I just want to look a little less tired and kind of boost my self-esteem. So I say let's go for
it and let's start with tip number one. I'm going to be working on my eyes and to do this
I'm going to have to take off all my eye makeup so... aahh I take off my makeup for you. All right so anyway
let's start with tip number one and if your eyes are looking tired chances are you're probably
looking a little older as well. So I don't use this every day but you know for special occasions like
being on camera I use Visine and it really really does help to you know brighten up your eyes a
little bit. I'll just put like one drop into my eye and also for the sake of time I'm just
going to do one eye for this makeup but here we go. It feels, it feels nice and what I'm going
to do as soon as this kind of waters away a little bit I'm going to show you tip number two and three
to kind of liven up your eyes and make them look more youthful. Now tip number two is to use some
concealer. I really like this concealer by NYX or they call it NYX and my color is beige. Now I use
the concealer brush just like this and I just sort of put a little bit on my hand here and then I'm
just going to a little dab will do you right? I'm just going to put this underneath my eyes here.
Now if you're anything like me you still have you know this purpley part in here and maybe a
few little lines that you need a little bit more work on and for that I've got Bye Bye Under Eye.
This is by IT Cosmetics. It's fantastic and my color is light. For this I'm just going to use
a brush like this and honestly just the tiniest amount of this that's about all that I use.
I'm just going to put it in the brush here just a little bit like this and then I'm going to go
sort of inside the purpley parts of my eyes just to brighten it up a little bit. There
we go you can sort of see the difference in the two sides and then also I need a little bit here
because that's going to reflect the light and those lines that are under my eyes they won't look
as bad. And you can really kind of see the difference between the two sides now.
I look more awake and a little more youthful. Talk about hiding our real age if you have age
spots on your face or I have them on my hands here, this Bye Bye under Eye watch this here. I don't know
if you can see it on the camera can you see it there. Watch how that literally hides my age there.
Age spot gone! Now that's helping but we can do a lot more for our eyes and by the way in just a
minute I'm going to get to some fashion tips for you oh and if you're interested in some of the
products that I'm featuring they're going to be underneath the video description and also in the
comments. All right tips number four and five for the eyes. Let's go! Starting with the eyeliner. Now
we want this eyeliner to be thin and this comes in a two pack it's from the La Pure and it's the most
incredible kind of eyeliner. First of all I'm just going to put a thin line up here. I do not put it on
thick and I do not put it under my eyes. When you do that you're going to look a lot older. Well
looking for my mirror here all right so steady as she goes...
There we go. Now I told you this was a little bit ingenious on the other
side there's a little Stamper here. And this will give me a wing. Now if
you have down turned hooded eyes those are very aging, I have them but I want
a little bit of a swoosh up here. I'm going to use this little stamp
and there you go. Even with my hooded eyes I have a little curl upwards. Now we need a little bit
of eye shadow to upturn my downturned eyes and I'm using this palette from Urban Decay and it's
Naked 2. It's a beautiful palette, there's all different kinds of colors here that can really be
used on just about anybody. First of all I'm going to start with the brightest one here it's
called Shimmer. What I'm going to do is I'm just going to put it here. I'm going to use my
brush here a bit. I'm just going to put it on my eyelid like this and just underneath the brow bone
for just a little bit of a lift. I'm also going to use a little brush like this and just kind
of put it inside my eyes here just to give it a little sparkle sparkle. All right so now it's time
to put on some eye shadow and I'm going to use a brush like this and I'm going to use this color
right here and what is that one called? Oh it's called Cover. All right so we're going to use cover
here and what I'm going to do is I'm just going to go right along there's actually a little bit of a
crease here that you can see. I'm just going to go just along like that and you're going, that looks
awful. But wait a second okay now I'm going to use a brush like this and I'm going to go into
the darker brown here and it's called prop primer... what is it called again? Primal Primal it's called
and I'm just going to go inside the actual crease right here right there. I'm going to swoosh
it out a bit. Now we've got to do some blending. I've got my blending brush like this and
let's go with blend blend blend blending and swooshing outwards and that is really really
going to lift our eyes. Now look at the difference between the two eyes. This one looks tired really
and it does look older, where this one is getting a little bit of a swoosh. Now I'm just going to put
on my favorite mascara which is Covergirl mascara Exhibitionist and I'm just going to show the two
pictures side by side.of the before without the makeup and the after. Let's take a look. Putting
on the mascara really brings a lift to the eyes and notice how one side makes me look tired and
older while the other side has more of a lift to my eyes and actually to my whole frame of my face. It
definitely helps me to look more youthful and it took hardly any time at all. Now for the sake
of time I'm not going to show all the rest of the makeup that I put on me including this kind
of youthful glow here that I have and the way I do my brows. However if you are looking for some of my
favorite makeup and even my skin care you can find them at amazon.com/shop/awesomeover50 just
scroll down and you'll find my makeup and also my skin care sections. Alright so let's get into
this second part of this video and it's all about how we dress. Now I know that in the past couple
of years I mean we really got into a fashion rut. I know I did. I mean I didn't even care if I was
looking older in most cases but today things are different. We want to get out with the old and
we want to get into a more refreshed you. Starting with the next tip. Let's change out that favorite
blouse that was your go-to for business and office. It's time to kind of loosen that bow the same way
men are loosening their ties. Let's find a blouse that gives a fun and youthful vibe like this one
from Amazon. It's about twenty seven dollars and it comes in four colors and notice how this red one
just lights up my face compared to the drab colors in the other one. It also has a tummy hiding peplum
design so no worries about being too tight around the waist. Next let's take a look at tip 7, 8 and
9 and it's going to be featuring that comfy really slouchy type of look that a lot of us were wearing
over the last two years. All right let's check it out. It doesn't get more comfy or even doudty
looking than this. And it's easy to take this as an everyday look moving forward but we don't want
to do that. Tip number seven is lose the sloppy jacket and how about putting on a faux suede
moto jacket. It's about 53 dollars. It's trendy, youthful and best of all it's stretchy.
Now for the way-too-long jeans. Let's swap them out for a pair that are shorter and ankle
length. Now if you don't want to go out and buy a pair that are the trendy ankle length style, just
hem up your old boyfriend jeans as I did and they'll look great.
Now those dirty canvas, what used to be white sneakers. Nope let's ditch these and swap them
out for those new Keds leather sneakers. They've been around for a while and I've worn them almost
everywhere. They go with about everything including dresses and they just wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Now let's look at the two styles side by side. The one side makes me look dowdy unkept and
not at all youthful while the other side gives me a fresh new trendy look. And all
it took was swapping out the old jacket, hemming up my jeans and putting on a white
pair of sneakers. This gives me a whole new look that's also very budget friendly. And if you like
videos like this done by a woman who's maybe closer to your age and not a size zero,
there's a button right down there some place and don't forget to click on the bell. So my next tip
is all about your mindset. It's it's just when you look in the mirror you don't look and say
I look old. You look in the mirror and you say I look great today. You know often when you read
my social posts you'll hear me saying things like age with attitude and I think that's what it's
all about and you know that us older gals we're trending these days. You know if you really notice
a lot of the social posts and even the posters in the makeup counters, it's our age group that's
showing up everywhere. So instead of being a cliche you know of an older woman who's just given up and
just feels like she's older, let's change things around a little bit. Let's set an example for the
younger women of this world that aging, aging can be something that you do with attitude and
we can still really really rock this world and you know what? It's just one more way to keep it awesome!
