Hey awesome ones so if you've seen my videos you probably noticed that i wear
a lot of matte foundation. Hey those kind of
foundations they they last for hours they have great
cover up and they're pretty great most of the
time. What I've been looking for lately is a
dewier more kind of glowy natural fresh face kind of foundation
and I found it. So I can't wait to show this
kind of youthful look to you and i'm also going
to...... stay till the end because i'm also going
to show you contouring and highlighting and
all kinds of great stuff. it all starts in just a few seconds.
So to begin with i don't have any foundation on,
no concealer. I do have a primer on and i'm using this Strivectin
primer on my face which goes on before you put
on the foundation. I'm going to be talking about a
lot of things in this video and oh by the way
if you kind of like what I do with my eyes i'm going to put
a link to a video at the very end of this video
and especially if you have those hooded eyes happening
that's going to be a great video for you to watch. But we didn't want to make this
too long so we didn't include the eye makeup.
All right but what am i going to talk about? I'm going to talk about
concealer. I'm going to talk about you know how do we get this
dewy kind of glowy fresh faced look. The foundation that I'm using
a concealer as i already mentioned, blush and also highlighter. So let's get right
into it. For the concealer
underneath your eyes I really love this from Benefit. It's called Boi-ing
and my color is number two and you'll see on this that it really is a
hydrating kind of concealer. The color is in the middle of it
and then around it is the moisturizer. So you know i usually am teaching you about
a matte kind of concealer that covers up
everything but i'm getting a lot more wrinkles
these days and i'm finding that if I don't
moisturize under here and i just put like a thick matte concealer it shows up
the wrinkles so much more. So we don't want that. All right so let's
apply this concealer and I'm using
this brush here to put on the concealer. Just sort of tapping a little bit in
here and I'm simply going to brush
underneath my eyes...... if you can see that maybe with a bit of
a close-up you can see what I'm talking about.....
Now i'm going to be using my fingers a lot in this video and i'm just going to
smooth that out.... that way and again for the sake of time
i'll do the other side off camera. All right now you may be
asking yourself okay so that's fine for there but I've got these
purpley parts, I have this you know this other area here with my
age spots. What do we do with that? I'm going to be using the matte
concealer. This is from Estee Lauder and because it
will really give me that double wear coverage that I like
and this number...which one is this one... this is
light medium that I use in the Estee Lauder double wear.
So what i'm going to do it has its own applicator like this
and I'm just going to go into the purpley part. You see that how it's
purple in there. I just sort of go inside here
and then I take my little brush and just kind of get rid of that it also
kind of brightens up my eyes a little bit
so it's not so dark. Now what about the age spots?
I've got full coverage with this... just going to do
my paint by numbers really and i'm going to go ahead with that.
Now I have made sure that this color is very similar to the
new foundation that I have.....that's actually looking a little bit.....
smooth it out if it gets a little bit too thick there.
All right and don't forget if you have the age spots
age spots on your hands you can just do a
presto changeo with those and hide those little age spots.
Hide those little age spots too with a little bit of concealer.
Nobody will know. How old do you think i am?
Anyway so you want to let the concealer dry a little bit and check out my hands.
I really covered up those age spots which is just a very good thing to look youthful.
All right so I tried and I looked at all different kinds of foundations
and I did find one that I like from Shiseido and this is calledShiseido
I think i'm pronouncing that right Synchro
Sun Glow Luminizing Fluid Foundation. So that's what i found here. Now
a lot of you and I know myself too, I always thought Shiseido makeup
and skin care was super expensive but this
isn't really that expensive. I mean when you think about how much you use,
I use a lot less with this because i'm not
applying so much with a sponge. So I did find it on
Amazon for....well some of them are on sale for less than $40 so
I'm going to have the links below and you can find those there. It's from
Amazon.com And also a lot of you say to me, hey I
really like your jewelry. Today I'm wearing the Heather
Necklace from Carolily Finery and I'm going to have
links below for this necklace as well. And don't forget
to use the promo code AawesomeOver50 to get 10% off. There's all
kinds of details below on that one as well.
So the color of the foundation that I'm using is Rose/Rose 2
I like this also because it has the little pump with it.
So that's really nice to use. All I'm going to do is put a couple of squirts
here.... it's a fairly thin consistency
and I'm going to use my fingers to kind of I want a natural glow. I almost want
my natural skin to kind of shine through. So
we're just going to do a little bit up here with my fingers.
See how nicely that just sort of forms out. I still am getting coverage. I'm
still getting covering up any....what do they call it....
imperfections...yes imperfections.
I've got a few of those. Anyway I'm just going to go down my nose here
maybe pat the nose a little bit you know. I was a freckle girl when i was a kid.
How many of you were freckle girls? I'd like to know.
I always wonder if if you were a freckle girl if you get more age spots because
i don't know let's find out. All right so underneath here
again I'm just going to use my fingers
and a little bit...see these...can you see my marionette lines imperfections.
I'm not going to get a lot of makeup in there because I find that those
creases I don't want those creases so I just
kind of bypass them a little bit...there all right so I
basically done the whole kind of t-zone down here. I'm going
to put just a touch to kind of get up to where the concealer
was there..... just a touch there and a little touch
there.
Okay now what about all these age spots that I
really tried hard to cover up? Well I want to cover them up a little bit more.
If i just kind of rub them with my fingers I'm going to take all that
concealer off that I already put on. So I'm going to use a little sponge like
this. You can use a beauty blender if you like. I'm this
is where i'm going to pat. I don't get wrinkles here so I'm okay here.
Just pat it on and it's going to dry. It looks a little off right now but it will
dry. Just to those marionette lines
and then over here as well just pat it on
move it up to here
and cover up those spots just a little dabble do ya.
Do you remember what commercial that was from?
Put it in the comments. Now if this was a regular kind of morning for me putting
on my makeup... while this was drying I would be putting
on my eye makeup and it would all kind of work out but
it's dried up now. And what I want to do first of all is
show you some contouring. I am using...this is from Tarte
and it's a blush and it's called Expose that's the color that i'm using here.
Now since I'm going for kind of a pink kind of look or more of a fresh
face i'm not going for the super bronzy look,
I'm going to be using this not only for my blush but also for my contour as well.
I'm using a contour brush like.....
I think it's time to wash my brush.... anyway like this one here
and I'm just going to go in here and again I'll just do one side...
I'm going to go down the side like that just kind of highlighting my cheekbones
a little bit underneath we're not going to call
them jowls we're going to call them the lower chin area. I'm going to do a
little bit of contouring there a little bit of contouring here and
did you know...i've said this before but in case you're new
our nose grows, our ears grow as we age and
how lucky are we for that. Anyway so the magic of contouring comes
in handy I'm just using a brush like this one here
and I'm going down the sides of my nose kind of thinning it out a little bit and
this will help thin it out..... as you can see it's very very subtle you
don't really notice it but it's just enough. Now what about the
blush? So I want to use the same color for the blush and I'm
very very going to carefully just kind of put a little bit of
rosiness onto my cheeks. I'm going to do the other
side and I'll be right back. Oh so I almost forgot. I also want to
sort of even out the color a bit so I'll just put a little
brush, here brush here and brush here of blush
so that you know i'm not really pale down the middle of my face.
Now let's talk about we're getting a nice shine right now
but we still want a little bit more of a glow. Now
a lot of times when women put on highlighter
they're kind of overdoing it. We don't want to just cake on highlighter because
if you do that you're going to get the cakiness, you're going to
you're going to look aged and older because anything that's
cakey makes those wrinkles really show up.
What I have here is a highlighter. It is from Too Faced and this one is called
Fancy Pink Diamond and it is in a very fancy kind of container here. So I'm just
going to use a brush like this and again very very carefully I'm just
going to put a little bit of highlighter here just
kind of touch it on there a little bit of highlighter here on my forehead
and you know what that's about it. And as I....
come closer maybe to the the camera, I think you can see that I've got kind
of a nice glow on my face but i'm not quite finished yet.
So that's the kind of shine that I want but as the day kind of goes along
there are other shines that I don't want. Right now I do have a little bit of a
shine underneath my eyes since I used a moisturizer and a cream. I know as the
day gets longer i'm going to also have a shiny nose and sometimes my upper
lip gets a little bit shiny. So I have talked to you before about the
Revlon Anti-shine but a lot of you are saying,
hey Ii can't find it anymore. I think they discontinued it.....
So heather to the rescue. They have a new and improved...
says it right there, new and improved. Revlon
photo ready translucent powder and i know this is available
everywhere and I'll have a link for it below. And what it is
it's not like a powder you usually see you know it's usually sort of
a beige colors no we've got let me see if I can open this.....
we've got a very kind of transparent or translucent kind of
powder here with a little brush. So let me just show you how I don't know if
the camera is going to tell you how to
or show you how this works, but i just put it underneath here
and the shine is gone but it's so light there's no cakiness and don't
overdo it just sort of just dab it on and if you find that you
know you need a little bit of color maybe what you can do is just
put a little bit of that blush powder inside and kind of
mix it up. I usually do that. There's a little bit of blush color on this right
now and just sort of go like that.....your nose
and the nice thing about this is it's really
compact ready. You can also just throw that in your purse and
you're ready for when you don't want to shine in certain places but
you're still glowing girl. And that is the whole thing you know
makeup is a wonderful thing and I know a lot of grandmothers
would say put a little bit of rouge on, put a little bit of lipstick on
and talking about lipstick where's my lipstick right now........
Kind of complete the look and this is from Lancome
and I'll have a link for that below too.
You know this was a really quick kind of makeup to do
and I feel like especially when i kind of
my hair isn't straightened today it's kind of just out there
maybe i'm going to look like a bohemian kind of look today.
I'm feeling natural. I'm feeling free and this makeup is really
you know just an answer to all that. And talking about
glowing you know I love doing these videos for you the beauty
the hair the fashion the self-care videos.
