Hey awesome ones Heather here. I'm 64 years old now and yes man I'm really
working on looking more youthful. I don't want to look my age so I have some
products that I absolutely swear by absolutely love them and I'm going to
share them with you their beauty products in just a few seconds.
So all of these items you can actually order online today. None of them are like
over 500 dollars or anything like that. As a matter of fact I think a lot of
them...come to think about it...all of them you can probably get at a drugstore
somewhere. So you know I'm really really happy with them and they all just sit on
my makeup stand so let's take a look. So my number one item is getting the red
out. I'm using Visine. I think there's other products on the market as well. Do
I use this every day? No I don't use this every day but I do
use it for my videos. And it gives me you know...there's nothing worse than having
bloodshot eyes and you know trying to go someplace and feeling refreshed and
wonderful and I really find that this really helps not to make us look so
tired. I find if we do look tired we look older. Now as I said I don't use
this every day. I would definitely suggest that you don't use it every day
and if you have any kind of eye problems at all or contact lenses I would
definitely check with a doctor before I would use something like this, but if
you're free to go like I said it really really brightens up for a lot of those
special occasions and to look a little bit more youthful. So for number two I
wanted to suggest a silky serum for your hair. Now one of the things that I
noticed about growing-in my naturally silver hair is that it also came in a
little bit curlier too. And although I use a low phosphate shampoo and
conditioner on my hair, that's really important to, what you're washing your
hair with. I do find that these serums really help to tame it a little bit and
I'm going to show you how I use it. so this product is by John Frieda and it's
frizzies extra-strength serum. And basically what it has is
silk protein in it. Now I already have it on my hair right now. I just can't do
anything without it because my hair it is is like a big frizz ball. But let me
just put a little bit...you just use a little bit like that on your hand not
too much...and then I kind of just go like this and it really gives you a nice kind
of quaffed look because you just can put it back...you see how it's it's just
taming a lot of things...and and bringing down you can see how that's a little bit
flyaway. Well if I just squinch it like this with my hand it makes it a lot
silkier. Do you see that the silkiness of it all. So yeah it's a great product and
I absolutely love it. Oh and by the way I'm going to put links in the
description below. I'll even put the shampoo that I like and my conditioner
below the video and also you can find it at AwesomeOver50.com and hey we make
a little bit of commission on this so if you are buying any of this products
thank you so much because it really helps to keep these videos going. So
let's see what's next. So I took all of my foundation all my foundation all my
concealer is off. I really want to show you you know how we can really look
after each spot, broken capillaries, broken veins, you know all these nasty
things that we seem to get as we get a little bit older. And Bill's going to do a
little close up here because I can show you some of the age spots that I have
here. Those are kind of what I want to clear up there. On this side I have had
the dermatologists look at this, but I've got some discoloration here. This is not
eye shadow this is actually, it looks like a big freckle and it's a nasty
little thing that I want to cover up. Plus I not sure if you can see but I've
got purpley parts inside my eyes. I've got dark circles under my eyes.
So let me just show you the third product and how I apply it to make myself look a
lot more youthful. So as I mentioned the third item is a really good concealer
and also a really good liquid foundation. I have found the Estee Lauder Double
Wear for both of the products and what I love about them is the cover-up and also
the fact that it really covers up for... well I've had it on for 12 hours and it
still covered all those nasty things. Now hey you don't have to wear this on a
Saturday when you're lounging around the house you know and maybe doing laundry
but certainly you know for those occasions or maybe you're going to work
or something and you do want to look a little bit more youthful this is what
you need. Now I don't want to just tell you about it I want to show you also
what we do. And for my skin type I have to N1 Desert Beige that's the color I'm
using for the foundation and I did go with...oh my goodness its so tiny
what they write here. A Light Cool 1C for the concealer. So let's start off
with the concealer. It looks a little bit like this and what I'm going to do is
...first of all can you see that purpley part inside my eye there? I've got it
right there. So what I generally...this dries really fast by the way. So what I
generally do is I put it in the purpley part and I put it right down for those
dark circles and I use a brush like this and I just go right in there and right
down into the eye. Okay I'm going to quickly do the other one as well because
I'm going to put the foundation on for you guys as well.So right in the purple
part right down into the eye and we're going to have links for all of these
products including some of the brushes so you will be able to get that. Now what
about all these spots? So for these spots maybe Bill can do a bit of a close-up.
I'm going here. I'm going here. I still get pimples
can you believe it? Like cover up some pimples here too...
bad enough with the age spots, but you guys know what I'm talking about like we
get everything it seems. This nasty thing I got over here...gotta cover that
baby up. And this dries quickly so you can put your foundation on pretty
quickly. These are broken capillaries. I have inside the side of my nose. I'm
going to do a little bit down here. I've got some broken capillaries there and
then that nasty big freckle. Watch this how nicely it just covers it all up.
I have eye makeup on right now. Okay so you're seeing it's gonna cover this
one up a bit more. It's hard to do you know when I'm not actually in front
of my makeup mirror but all for the cause all to make us all a little bit
more youthful and give a little more confidence. So let's start with the
foundation. For the foundation I really do like using little sponges like this.
You could use a blender sponge but I use my hand as a pallet. So I'll pour a
little bit on there you know maybe about that much that's about it and then what
I do is I kind of mush it around if mush is a word. I mush it...Bill's
laughing behind the scenes there. Use the sponge and here we go. So this part is
kind of thick so I want to have the most thickness on the place where I really
want to cover it up. I don't go too much into the concealer of the eye here
because if I do what ends up happening is it really shows up the wrinkles later
on. So now I've got a very thin amount here these marionette lines if I really clog
on the makeup here they're going to look even worse. I'm just using a thin part
there under our nose you know above the lip line don't want too much there and
again on the nose and working our way up this way.
So back to the palette. I want some thicker on this side of my face covering
up all those nasty...oh there was an age spot there that I didn't conceal but
this will cover it. Going up my nose. Look at the coverage.
It's just covering all those spots really really nicely. I have a little bit
left up here and I'm going to you know and then I use the clean part of the
sponge and I kind of work it down a bit because I don't want to have a big line
there. And now I know I'm looking pretty pale but just use your own blush your
own contouring. I'm actually going to have a link at the end of this video for
you on really a full face. I mean it might be just a fall makeup but you can
use it for all year round and that'll show you a little bit of how I do the
contouring and the blush. But these are my secret weapon products that I wanted
to show that really do a good job and a lot of times it doesn't matter on the
blush it doesn't matter on the lipsticks but these products really help you to
look youthful. So let's go on to the next one. I quickly put on my
blush and my contouring and that sort of thing but let's talk about what's number
four. Number four is to try to give yourself a little bit more of an eye
lift. Now I have shown in many of my videos you know how I do my makeup and
my eye makeup and the aligner I bring that up a little bit but one of the best
ways to give yourself I lift without any kind of surgery or any of that kind of
thing is with you know really emphasizing your brows. And as you can
see I just don't have a lot of brows left. I don't know they seem to be
falling out as I age or maybe I just plucked them a little bit too much like a
few decades ago. So I know I've mentioned this before but one of the best ways to
have a really perfectly arched eyebrow is to
use the stencils. I'll show you how I use them in just a second.
I used to use and you know I still do somewhat when I'm in a hurry or whatever
you know the regular eyebrow pencil with this little brush on the end of it, but
it takes a lot of time so let me just show you what I can do and make it
perfect every time. So these stencils they come in like a
natural or a thicker and I go for the natural cuz well you know I just want to
look a little bit natural. And the other thing is you need to buy the powder that
goes with them. I just use a little brush like this and you notice I'm using a
brown powder. I wouldn't want to go with a white eyebrow or a grey eyebrow. I just
I do...I don't want to go with black I don't want to look ridiculous but I do want it
a little bit darker just to really frame the eye. Now what you do is you place
this on your brow. You've got to make sure you got it kind of in the
right place and it is difficult to do with the camera but and then I just sort
of fill it all in here. And there we have it. Now I can use this brush a little
bit, brush it up a little bit. I'm going to just use this to fill in a bit more
here because you should actually have it right to the nose here. I guess I could
have done that with a stencil as well. So you don't have to buy too many things
but I think you can notice that it is framing my eyes a little bit and this is
an extra extra little something something.
Sometimes I even put on a clear mascara you don't have to have all these extras
but I'm just showing you what I do and that really helps to.....things are falling
here...we'll get through this video I promise and you will look youthful.
Yeah so just sort of brush the hairs up... there you go and that makes it look a
little bit more natural. Now look at the difference between the two brows. You see
how this is just a mess and for me even to try to fill that in and patch it and
do it all right...one could be off than the other one, but with the stencil the
stencil is perfectly the same shape as this one so I don't know I really like
it this way. So number five is highlighter powder and this one that I
have here is from Mac. I've tried different ones and this one I really
really love. It it's got such a nice consistency and a nice little glow to it.
So using a brush like this I just kind of dab it in and shake it off a little
bit and I am just going to put it...I've already got the the contour and the blush
on. Do you see how I'm just putting it there? And I don't know if you can see
how it's kind of shining there but it's just enough and yeah it just gives me
that kind of youthful glow just there. So another little trick I do with a little
tiny tiny brush like this is I put that in there again knock off the excess and
I just put a little dot there. You might not be able to see it but in the light
it's gonna give me just a little sparkle sparkle in my eyes. Now a little warning
about this highlighter. Sometimes I did this myself I thought oh you know what,
that looks like a really nice nice youthful glow there. So I started putting
it all over the place. I had it everywhere. Oh my gosh I looked
like wrinkle city. The more that I put this on the more I looked wrinkly.
Especially because I do have those kind of wrinkles around here in that and
don't do it just kind of highlight a little here and there. And talking about
wrinkles a lot of you know the next product I'm going to show you. And that
is the Revlon anti shine and look at how much of this I've used.
You can tell that I absolutely love it. And why I love it is a lot of times what
I used to do is pile on the powder and wrinkles would show up more because it
was just getting more and more cakey. I'm not too sure how shiny my face is right
now but I'm just going to put a little bit of in it...it is a cream...so it's not a
powder, but let me just...I don't know Bill if you can see maybe there's a little
shine under my eye here and I put that on and the shine is gone. I put it on my
chin, let's see my nose, put it on my nose and all the shine is gone. So this is a
must in my purse and a must at my makeup stand as well. So you all know I have
other products that I really love. Other beauty products, but you know if I was
stuck on a desert island somewhere and I wanted to look youthful these would be
the products that I would want to have drop shipped to me...you know this is a really
bad example. Hopefully if I'm on a desert island somewhere instead of
having stuff drop shipped to me, hopefully they'll rescue me. But anyway you know what
I mean. So someone else that I would really want to have on that desert
island is you mister Hurricane and you too Bill behind the camera. Can't leave Bill out of
this but yeah and you know whenever Hurricane comes on the scene he's here
to remind me to talk about upcoming videos for you and on our other channel
or second channel which is Youtube.com/AwesomeOver50inspiration
Bill and I were talking about being empty nesters and maybe you're not an empty
nester yet or maybe it's coming up in the future for you and there is a little
bit of sadness to it but we also talked a little bit about there is a bright
side to it as well. And we're also getting ready for the holiday season
over on that channel we'll have some house holiday things and also we'll have
some gift ideas. So we've got a few gift ideas that we want to talk to you guys
