So hey Awesome Ones, Heather here and lately I've been getting some requests for kind of
minimalistic makeup easy to follow and of course your wish is my command. Here I am I've got a video
for you so whether you're even a beginner or maybe you're just trying to get back into makeup again
this tutorial is really easy to follow, So let's go!
So it's great that a lot of us can see our friends again after about two years.
But you know what? It's kind of like a high school reunion you know where you really
kind of want to look your best and with these tips I'm really helping you with the aging process
as far as making the makeup look more youthful and also hiding some of our
aging imperfections, but you know before you start with any kind of makeup it's so important that
you have a good skin care regime. So I'm just going to very quickly show you the products that I like.
These are all Strivectin. Products for the neck, it's a serum, there's retinol, there's eye
cream and also the nighttime moisturizer. And you can find them all at
amazon.com/shop/awesomeover50 they're in my skin care section and also at the end of this video I'm going to put
a link to you know how I put them all together for you but let's get started. Let's start with this
makeup video for you, but I gotta start by taking all my makeup off so let's go.
I know a lot of former models would never show you their bare face but here I am because I know
it really helps a lot of you. Let's start with step number one and it's all about the primer.
And a lot of you are saying what the heck is a primer? So my favorite primer is the strivectin
anti-blur anti-wrinkle primer and of course I'm going to have the links for you for these products
underneath the description and also in the comments and a little dab will do you on this.
You just put a little dab here and what the primer if you are asking what the primer is
all it is is it's think about a wall when you're painting. It's filling in all those
little fine lines and if you're like me you've got lots of fine lines. What I do...no...what I do
is I put it really a little bit thicker into you know these marionette lines and the 11's up here
because I really want those filled in and now once I have this on I have a nice base for my
makeup. Now i use a different kind of primer for my eyes and this is the Urban Decay eyeshadow primer
and what it does it just kind of almost looks like a concealer. Here and I'll just put a little bit on
my fingers. My hands are really clean. A lot of you are asking about that and I make sure my hands are
really clean because a lot of times I use them as a palette but we're just going to put this on our
eyes and again it's forming a nice base for my eye shadow and it's also going to help my eye shadow
stay in place and not just sort of sink in and look all kind of greasy looking. You know what I
mean? I'm just going to go inside the eyes here because it's kind of got a purpley part there
and down below so most of us have these dark circles underneath our eyes but
if you're a little bit older you don't want to pile on all kinds of concealer because
it's really going to emphasize your wrinkles. So I have this Neutrogena it's called hydro boost
I don't know if you can see, there's concealer and in the middle is moisturizer. My color is light I'm
putting it on with a concealer brush and it's a nice light coat but it really helps. Now I've got
to get into those purpley parts here of my eyes and then I'm just going to do a fairly light coat
underneath my eyes. Okay bring it out a bit and right like that so that's a very light coverage.
But if you're like me and you've got some things to hide I love the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye
my color is light fair it is so like it's thick and covering but it's not too thick. I'm going
to use a brush like this and what I want to do I want to do a bunch of things first of all
you see this kind of darkness under here. I need to lighten that up just see how gently I'm doing that
just lightly just so that the light kind of reflects on it a little bit and the same here.
Just so the light is going to reflect on it a little bit and it won't look as dark
but look at these nas this is actually an age spot, Boy I want to get rid of that. I'm going to go
right there now don't worry I know it looks bright but I'm going to put the
foundation over top so I can even everything out. There's another one there another one there
there and oh this one's a mess so that's what I'm doing. I'm just sort of covering
up all those age spots. Oops almost forgot. I also go into my marionette lines okay watch this
and into my 11s you know what I'm talking about when I say the 11s just up here a little bit
and again a little bit more filler and a little bit more lightening up. Now since some of you are
beginners or you're back to makeup again I thought I would forgo the eyeliner you know sometimes
we're a little bit heavy-handed with the eyeliner anyway and in many cases it makes us look older.
So what I want to show you is this palette. It's fantastic and it's Revlon eye contour kit. Even
shows you on the back I don't know if you can see that but how to apply it and there's actually four
applicators inside here which is incredible. I'm going to do one eye and then I'll do the other
eye off camera but you see this one here you can tell I love this and this this palette is great
for almost everybody too as far as colors are concerned. All right so what I want to do is I want
to highlight my eyelids so I'm just going to put a little bit like this on my eyelid there we go
and then I'm going to use the other pointy part and go into this brown here. So let me just...
and if you have hooded eyes you just want to bring it out to about here there we go.
Okay and then what we want to do is we want to go underneath the brow. Look at how easy peasy this
is this all right and again I'll have links for this for you in the comments and under the
description. So I'm just highlighting there now this is when it gets a little tricky. I'm using
the pointy part of the second one and I'm going into this dark part. Now this is going to be a
little tricky. Now I'm going to put a little bit under here being very very careful a little bit
here all right and now what I'm going to do is put a little bit in the crease just like that
okay. I sound like a school teacher, "just like that okay". Now you're going, okay Heather that
looks a mess. Well I'm going to suggest and I will have this in the links you're going to need some
blending brushes all right because with any kind of applicator it's just not going to go on smooth
and you need to blend blend blend. So think of a windshield washer you're going to blend back and
forth and back and forth and back and forth into there a little bit bringing it outwards.
Okay and then this kind of brush and you'll get it it's there we have
a whole kit for you that you can see I'm going to blend along here
so that there's no real sharp definition between the two you can see how that's starting to look
a little bit nicer now and then this one we're just gonna bring it out a little bit
a little bit up here and there you go it's nice and nice and natural looking. All right
two eyeshadows done now it's time for some mascara. I'm using the Covergirl Exhibitionist mascara
in black brown. I love this. I love love love love love this mascara
and it's really comparable to some of the high-end designer ones I used to use.
What I'm going to do what I usually do is I put on three coats of mascara and only one
on the bottom. So I'm just gonna put on one coat now and then I'll do the the other ones
off camera but basically you want to start at the bottom of your eyelashes work your way up.
I'm not going to do the bottom yet because I haven't got my my foundation on
so there you go and I'll do some more layers off-camera. Now my concealer has all dried now
time for the foundation. I'm using Shiseido Synchro Skin Glow and it really is a beautiful foundation.
My color is rose and I'm just going to do a couple of squirts here using clean fingers of course and
what I'm going to do is I'm just going to dab you know those spots where I had those...
I put on that concealer well I wanted to sort of dab this a little bit on there
a little bit underneath here remember all those spots right and we're going to just do that okay.
But for the rest of my face I can just sort of put it on with my fingers. I'm not teaching
you how to use a blending brush or anything like that I just want this to be easy peasy as I said
maybe pat a little bit on those spots that I had for the 11's my nose is pretty good so I can
just sort of completely apply that maybe the odd freckle or two, I still have some freckles. All
right underneath here very very lightly especially if you have the vertical lines you want to go
light on that and down the marionette lines of course dab it a little bit there and a little bit
on these marionette lines oh gosh and what they named them right, you know jowls and marionette lines.
Okay all right so I'm going to use what's left. I did a couple of squirts here
and I'm just going to kind of blend that in nicely with my fingers okay just around that spot there
now you might be saying to yourself Heather why don't you get rid of those spots there's
maybe something you can do. I actually keep them for you so that if you have them yes by all
means look into getting rid of them. but I know there's a lot of women that you know don't want
lasers or anything like that so I just want you to show you how we can cover them up. All right so
we've got to let the foundation dry let's work on our brows and the brows really do highlight our
eyes. So just with my fingers I'm going to brush up my barely there brows and I'm going to use
a stencil talk about easy peasy this is the way to do it and basically what you do with the
stencils you do get some powder so oh that's the wrong end. All right with this brush I'm going to
just kind of fill in my brows here hopefully I get it right on camera here. There you go. See what I'm
doing there and then I just make sure I use the right end go inside I've drawn in my brows. Now
I have brows yay and isn't that easy. Now all I do now is I'm using the Maybelline clear lash
mascara and I want to make sure that that powder really stays in place for the rest of the day
and ta-da look at the difference. Now I'm going to work on this one so I just finished up the other
brow I put another layer of top mascara. And hey by the way if you're kind of liking these videos

And also don't forget to click on the bell and you'll be notified when my videos are out.
Now before I put on the bottom lash mascara I want to make sure that because it just has concealer
here I set it so what I'm going to use is the Revlon Translucent Powder and just a little bit
here with this little brush that comes with it. And I'm just going to lightly just go underneath
to set that before I put on the mascara. Now let's talk about the blush. I can put mascara on later
off off camera and what I'm using for my blush believe it or not easy peasy right I'm using
Bronze Goddess from Estee Lauder. My color here is 02 medium but it's not really like a bronzer
it's more pinky when it goes on so I'm going to use this for blush and contouring everything
and using a brush like this. So what am I talking about? All right well let's contour a little bit.
All right I'm just going to contour with this brush down a little bit here
and then kind of just on my cheeks here a little bit of color I need a little bit of color there
and again because I've set this with powder I can put it underneath my eyes
here and here and I think I just need a little touch more. Hold on for a second yeah it's just not
going the way, there we go a little bit of color there down here and also a little bit on the jowls
okay to hide those a little bit and also down our nose. Our nose actually grows as we get older.
And there one stop for all the contouring and blush. Now we have a nice glowy makeup but we
could add a little bit of highlighter and I just bought this this is the Master Chrome
metallic highlighter and it's from Maybelline and this color is 100. So what I'm going to do
and it's as good as the expensive one so I'm just gonna put it here a little bit here a little bit
here just to kind of add a little bit of glow here and also a little bit of glow there and there
and now for our lipstick. All right so I love this lipstick it's from Revlon it's Wine with
Everything and wine does go with everything I think. All right so I'm not even going to put a
lip liner. I'm just going to be very very careful and show you what you can do with the lipstick.
I kind of start in the middle
work my way out okay I'm just going to use my mirror for a second here
because I want to get right into the corner here there you go it's a beautiful color and it just
goes with everything just like wine. So all right so here I am I'm pretty well done and
I do want to take a look though I'll just take my hair out a little bit do you want
to take a look at what I look like with the before and the after. So let's take a look now.
So notice the evenness of the skin and the youthful glow that it has and those eyes the eyes
are they're so much more youthful they're less tired looking and you know what a lot of times
we speak with our eyes and this entire makeup I can put it on in like less than five minutes
and really just think about that for a second. It's a very small investment in time but it
really enhances you and it does make you feel a little bit more use youthful. So you know I've
done a lot of these makeup tutorials and I gotta say I really really try hard to read
most of the comments and reply back to you and so many of you have said that you're getting noticed.
You're trying my eye makeup or some of my the whole makeup and people are noticing. One woman
even said to me that she tried the makeup on and her son, her grown son noticed her makeup and I've
got two grown sons so I know that's really really a compliment. So I'm here I'm I'm here to really
help you with your makeup with self-care with some fashion and I really truly truly want you
to just look at the mirror look in the mirror as you're walking out the door and go, I look good and
I feel good because that's what it's all about. You know we're on this aging journey together
but we can make it hopeful, we can make it joyful and by all means we can keep it awesome.
