Hey awesome ones, so who here has the following symptoms of aging. All right,
large pores wrinkles of course, discoloration in your skin, age spots, marionette lines, elevens,
vertical lines, I mean I can go on and on and anyway I do I do and I know I'm not alone so I
thought I'm going to do this video for you it's an updated video on how I kind of hide my flaws with
contouring and concealing and a few other things as well. I can't wait to show this to you. Let's go!
So here I have no face makeup on and just a little bit of eye makeup but let's start with primers.
Primers can be really new to a lot of women. I know just up until a few years ago I didn't
even use a primer. This is the one that I like to use it's from StriVectin. It's an anti-blur
primer and what the heck is anti-blur. Well you know all these little fine lines that we have it
kind of fills them in it it fills them in like a primer on painting the wall fills in the cracks. So
I guess we've got a little bit of cracking on our face don't we but just a little dab
here. And what you're going to want to do is you're going to want to use this primer
and fill in you know these guys right. Any place, long marionette lines any place that you've got
the lines just dab it in a little bit better a little bit more I should say. Put all the primer on
get it all ready for the foundation. Push it into those wrinkly parts and you know these 11s I call
them 11s up here these two lines. Get them in there and along these other forehead cracks and
I know I'm not alone here with all of these lines that we're getting and I really want to tell you
that using a primer helps. Now also before I put on my eye shadow I also used an eye primer and this
one is from Urban Decay and it's called eyeshadow primer potion and of course I'm going to have
links for you underneath the description. So next is concealers and I have two of them that i like
to use first of all for underneath my eyes I use Boi-ing from Benefit and what I like about this and
I hope you can really see it, is do you see that? It has moisturizer and concealer. So what this is
going to do when I apply it and I like to apply it with a brush like this and basically it's putting
the moisturizer underneath my eyes as well as the concealer. So I'm not a believer in just
piling on concealer and then you put your makeup over top of that and powder over top of that.
It's going to make you look more wrinkly. So I really like the way that this applies and it
just slightly colors a lot of my discoloration underneath there but i'm not done yet. That was
number two by the way for my complexion. I also like to use and it's getting kind of worn out here
it's Physicians Formula I believe it's called and this is light and you can see that
this is more of a stick here and it's very solid as well. And I'm using a brush like this. Now
check out what I'm doing these days I haven't showed you this before as I'm aging I'm finding
new tips and tricks. So check this out. Before I put on the foundation I put on all my concealer. Why
because I don't want to look all blotchy. You know you can never get it perfect.
So this way the foundation goes over top. Now check this out. You know these 11s
Bill doesn't even know I do this, he's behind the camera, but I fill in my elevens
I fill them in and what that's going to do is it's just going to kind of take the light and and get
rid of some of the darkness. And I filled it in with a primer too so and also some people what
they're doing is they're just...this is the first time I've ever tried this part...but I'm going to
try it with you. They're filling in a little bit of their marionette lines. So if you've got something
not thick just a little bit lighter here okay and also what about my age spots. Let's do a number on...
look at how they just disappear do a number here I've got spots everywhere right around that eye...
I'm not alone right? There's I know there's products out there and you're probably thinking
to yourself Heather get with the products that are out there. I'm leaving my age spots just to show you.
What I do for all the awesome ones. If I don't have any spots how can I show you how to cover them. So
I'm leaving them here so I have something to show you. Keeping it real. Really keeping
it real. Okay so these ones are really really difficult to cover but it doesn't matter you
can just put as much on these as you...it's not in a wrinkle spot so I can kind of put as much
as I possibly can to cover them up. Also the purpley parts inside my eyes I like
to sort of put a little concealer there see the purpley parts I like to put a little bit in here
and also right at the darkest part under my eyes a little tiny dab of this lighter because it didn't
cover exactly like I wanted it to. So there you go. All right so let's get into the foundation
and i have a nice glowing skin kind of foundation for you today. It's from Shishido and it's called
Synchro Skin Glow. It's kind of an illuminating glow which we need for a youthful appearance
and this color is rose. And although a lot of people like to use brushes and beauty blenders
I just like to stick with these little sponges. So again we'll just put a little bit I like to
put a little bit on my my palette which is my hand and dab it in here. Now I'm going to put it on my
forehead. As you can see it's pretty thin. What I do and remember those 11's we want to cover them up
down the nose now I have a little bit left here. I don't want to pile it on underneath my nose
to those lines those vertical lines that we get. I don't want to do that because I'm going to
emphasize my wrinkles here and my marionette lines. I don't want to really...I just wanted very lightly
with what a little bit of makeup that's left there dab on top of that. Now what about these
big spots? Well really I'm going to dab it on here. I want to cover...see how that's covering it up.
That's what I want to do I want to get right in there and cover those spots up so I don't look
like I have all this kind of discoloration And over here. Again any place that I have
the discoloration I want to really I'm not wrinkly here so it doesn't really matter
and there we go. Now before we apply the contouring and the blush we really should let this foundation
dry a little bit. So generally what I'm doing is I'm usually doing my eye makeup then but my eye
makes already on. And by the way if you are aging and you're starting to have those droopy kind of
hooded eyes iIm going to have a video for you that I did. It's going to be on the end screen of this
video. So while this is drying I'm just going to talk to you about some of the contouring products
that I use. For this video for the contouring I'm using a product from Tarte and it's called exposed.
It's kind of a pinky color for my skin. We don't want to go with those dark brown kind of contoured
cheekbones they look so unnatural and unless of course you've got dark skin. Also for the
blush I'm using this beautiful palette it's called defining roses number three by Clinique.
And then for the highlighter i am using Too Faced and some of these names right and it's fancy pink
diamond for you. And let me just kind of show you what that looks like. All right time to
start with the contouring and I'm using this color as I told you it's called exposed by Tarte
and I'm using this brush. All right so we want to start basically at the top of our ear and go down.
And that's all I'm doing just a little bit of a natural kind of indentation there.
And the natural one over here. I know I've got those big spots there but I've got to make it work.
And also the jowls. All right so I know that as I'm getting older I'm getting a fatter face
but I want to get rid of a lot of this and I'll tell you something if you have a light
kind of contouring like this nobody's going to notice it. If you've got like a brown line here
yeah sure everybody's gonna notice but I'm just gonna and you know you can go lower even if you
want if you've got a little bit of that even under your chin or something like that do the
contouring it really really helps. Let's talk about the nose because did you know that your nose grows
as you get older, lovely isn't it. Between jowls and nose growing and wrinkles but we're going to fix
it with some makeup. I'm just going to go down this side of my nose because it's getting wider looking.
Again the same Tarte down this side of my nose and underneath and now i have done some
lovely contouring. All right so what about the blush? I showed you the blush that I'm using
the Clinique here. And we're going to not you know look like grandma used to look and
make the rouge this way. We're just going to go a little bit above right like that see
how natural that looks. A little bit on my spots there. A little bit above and I even like to go
because I just want to have a bit of an even skin tone all around. Now on that contouring you can
use this bigger brush to kind of smooth it out a little bit. So it looks a little bit more natural
and there you go. Now my next stop, next stop, my next trick that I have up my sleeve presto
chango is the highlighter. And we need some youthful glow in our face with our highlighter.
I'm just going to put a little bit here just at the top. We don't want to go all over our
face you know we don't want to look kind of super shiny. I put a little bit here too
and there you go. And also oh yeah I forgot to tell you I also put a little bit of highlighter just
inside my eye here. I don't know it kind of wakes up the eyes a little bit and I think it adds a
little bit more of a glow there. So there are some places where we don't want shine. So don't forget
your Revlon anti-shine. I sound like a commercial but I love this product and you can see how much
I love this product. And that's for, you know underneath your eyes maybe the tip of your
nose. And some of you told me you can't find it anymore in the stores and I have tried the Revlon
Translucent powder anti-shine and I love it too. So there you go. So let's take a look now at the
before and after Heathers. All right so you can see that I've really done a good number on covering up
my age spots and also any lines underneath my eyes. And take a look at the contouring you know and
also the the complexion is not all uneven. It's not all red. It's not all ruddy looking. It's got a lot of
life to it and the the highlighter is also helping in so many places such as in between my eyes here
and also on my cheeks. So as I've said before we're all on this aging journey together and hey
if you've got some products that you use and you really love them and they're helping you to hide
a few things please share them in the comments. I'm reading pretty well every one of the comments and
I can't read er I can't wait to read them as well. So also as most of you know I've never had botox or
any facial work done and I'm I don't I'm never going to do that. I hate needles number one but
if that's something that you like to do I say go for it. What I'm trying to teach in some of these
videos is that if you use a little bit of makeup you might be able to slow down that process or
those enhancement treatments a little bit longer. It's it's my joy my privilege to come to you
every week here through the video land and I love going to the drug stores and the beauty
counters and really finding the products that are helping us women look a little bit younger.
And if you're liking these videos and you're not a subscriber well I'd love you to come on down and
click that subscribe button and also don't forget to click on the bell so you'll be notified when my
my videos are out. So let's all remember also that aging is natural. My mom died when she was
52 years old so I that's probably why I'm here. I just want you to embrace these next decades. I mean
I think of them as a gift and so what I want you to do again is join all of us here as we naturally
age with a little bit of makeup, a little bit of flair and a whole lot of awesomeness.
