When Tara was doing your makeup it looked like she was painting a portrait. She's great and so are you!

As beautiful as Monique looks, and she was having this done for a photo shoot, so she knew this was going to be much heavier than a "normal" makeup look, (plus she is used to photo and film make up) her facial expression hardened a little bit after she got up and looked in the mirror (off camera) the first time....which leads me to think she wasn't happy about it. But I think she looked stunning (as usual!)...and the still shots at the end are amazing!! I love her! I'm 3 months away from turning 52, I just found my first gray hair and seeing her and how sophisticated yet cute she looks, makes me feel that getting gray (or silver) will be OK when it really kicks in!! I LOVE her tutorials and hearing about her everyday life... I live vicariously thru her...so much more down to earth and real life than what's on TV. Thank you for the candor and insight!! I'm East Coast

It's so refreshing to see someone so interested in what another person has to say and can teach you. You are so normal and down to earth to have been in the business for so many years. Your sweetness and humility is lovely to watch. I would love to see you in your own reality show. Great job, Tara. It couldn't have been very hard painting on that beautiful canvas.

Monique is so sweet,For someone so successful on YT she is so honest and down to earth.

I don't know about others, but when I watch your videos its like getting to sit down with a mentor and hearing all the things no one else tells you. Not just about working as an actress but about life, and how to live more, be more beautiful inside and out, how to treat people, be respected and your just so inspiring so please don't edit out the good stuff, cause its all good 😊

Tara has gorgeous hair. That color is amazing. And I really like the way she made up your eyes!

Oh this poor woman... dealing, for almost 2 hours.... geez... best mua ever!

Your makeup artist did a great job! I don't see why people are posting negative comments about her work.

Beautiful as always! Would also enjoy seeing how it looks with the makeup artist choosing a look for you without any of your input of how you usually wear it. You know your face best for your "best looks", but it would be interesting to see how different it looks. I hope you guys make more videos together!!

A hair dresser told me years ago, "We do not pluck our brows. We pluck chickens. We TWEEZE our brows". Ironically, she said this in the 90s while most of us were actually plucking our poor brows as if they were chickens.

Hollywood should add Monique as x-men or D.C. Comics character. A lotta mature guy characters like Dr X etc. but never a beautiful mature woman as a hero in movies! All your videos are such inspiration and great for any age anyway and it gives me hope to not worry about getting older in our age obsessed society! Keep rocking it Monique! 👍🏻👍🏻✨👑

I'm with you, Aylett! I love getting my makeup done. There's just something nice about having someone pay that much attention to me. Plus, human beings benefit from being touched in a nice way (not talking about sex here; just general, nice touching). For some people this is a very nice experience. Wouldn't wanna sit through 2 hours of makeup every day, but once in a while, it's nice.

Tara is Super Talented! Love this Video! You Looked Gorgeous! Love and Light ❤️ Carli BTW Can't wait for SparkLily to launch!

I LOVED THIS! You look stunning Monique.

Her eyeshadows go so well with her color of her hair !! And in general, amazing job!

I love watching your tutorials. You chat more alone and I love that! I suffer from depression and a host of things... went from red hair on stage to silver and white so all you say about the colour palette change really helps me. I like you as a person- it really makes the video so much nicer.Thankyou Monique. Melanie (UK)

You are gorgeous Monique and funny as always. Love U 💝

omg she look so much younger very pretty, l love her spirit.

This was so fantastic and refreshing, to just sit here and watch you two interact during the session, and learning about the rental process in Hollywood and such, and how you go about subtly letting a makeup artist know what generally works for you. Your personality is wonderful. And while it's not an actual tutorial, there's a lot to be learned from simply observing.

Monique that last picture is the best picture of you I've seen yet, it's a timeless classic, and a testament to your elegance and grace.

This woman is so naturally beautiful..when I'm in my 40s I would love to have skin like hers.. beautiful....and microblading is awesome and worth it I've seen amazing results on others and am considering doing it myself.. awesome video

I have just discovered you and you are so refreshing and down to earth bless ya im binge watching your vids x

Just wanted to comment, seeing there’s a lot of negativity down in the comments from people who don’t really understand the purpose of this video! This is a great video, showcasing something that there really aren’t many videos about. It reminds me of when I’m in the makeup artist’s chair for a shoot, so I find this video very relaxing!

how I always love to see the make up enhancements,the gradual process of the highlighting of the facial features...but the best deal of course is it does bring out the best that compliments the character. a very pleasing personality and the beauty you excrete Monique, I'm always in awe watching your videos

I love your transparency, thank you. I will keep watching.

I love the pro make-up artist, but you do a great job making up yourself.

Absolutely gorgeous, such an inspiration. I've learned so many tricks. Thank you! PS LOVE your gray hair!

I especially love this one still pic of you at the end of the video. I would like to see how you did your hair for that pic. It flashes by so quickly! That hairstyle looks great on you!

I have been reading make up tips for women over 50 as well as these tutorials. Everything I read and watched up to this one said stay away from dark colors and heavy eye shadows but this is flawless. I love dramatic eyes and I feel like for the most part I pull them off, but I am getting older. Everyone always tells me that I take great pictures and I should model. I know it would be almost impossible at my age to break into this field but I really want to see if I can. My first step is getting some professional pictures done which is what lead me to these tutorials. I love doing makeup, mine and everyone else's. But for a professional shoot I thought I might need to learn to do it better. Thank you for showing me glamourous make up can still be glamourous on older women. I wish I could sit with you for a makeover.

You're a wonderful and beautiful woman inside and out!!! About a week ago I watched for the first time one of your tutorials and I was so pleased by your humor, your honesty, and your talent. Your personality is outstanding.....I'll be watching your videos for now on 👍🌹💜💙😊

I’ve watched thousands of makeup application videos, but have never seen a professional makeup artist just “work” without teaching! It was wonderful just watching and listening...just having girl time! Love your spunky personality Monique! Thanks for the fun!

Knecht, I agree. It was fun just listening to the conversation and watching the transformation take place. Sometimes it just is what it is; it doesn't always have to be a "teachable moment." I just took it for what it is - girl time!

Looks beautiful. I love the way she did your eyeshadow.... I wish I could wear eyeshadow but it makes me get rashes around my eyes.

Beautiful makeup!

Love your videos - you're so beautiful ...Very reminiscent of Grace Kelly, but you also have such a funny sense of humor. Very charming.. Thanks for the great videos.

Omg 😮 finally someone said what I’ve always thought about contouring I’m so glad curtain bangs are coming back, and contouring is on its way out. It was never apart of my make up routine.

O,M,G, I just found you two weeks ago and l love you! You are so honest and give such good tips on make-up. I am a cosmetologist and make-up artist too and I am always learning. I recommended you to all my BFFs.Your a PEACH!!

Whelp she said it " Thats drag queen makeup" it most certainly is😂🤣

Contouring is drag queen makeup... yes! That's the best description I've heard. Great video.

I know this was done quite a while ago now but I just now found you and may I just say WOW! That was amazing to watch! I loved all of it. I too am gray haired, have been for a few years now after having colored my hair for decades and am still getting used to the changes in its texture and what changes I need to make with my makeup, so I glad to know I am not the only one. Thank you,!

This was so much fun to watch Monique!! Thanks for sharing and your makeup looks stunning!!

The only make-up "gurus" that I watch actually are make-up artists and do it as a living. I actually don't know of any that don't do it as a living. There are some that test make-up products and review them, but they don't consider themselves professionals. But you don't really need to be a professional to review or recommend something.

@macdizzie9379

I feel like you're being randomly incredibly judgmental about people reviewing things. It's all about personal preference. Personally, I learn a lot from watching people do their makeup. There is no difference in people doing makeup on themselves or other people. It's about the technique. Or in my case, I like seeing how people put new colors together and create new looks with different shades and shimmers to spark my own inspiration. Now again personally, when it comes to product reviews I find people watch those with similar features. Like I watch hair product reviews by people with a similar hair type. Or a similar skin type, etc. Unless you want to be a makeup artist what do you gain from watching people that do makeup on lots of people? There's literally no difference between what they do and what people do to themselves. Everybody uses different techniques.

In no way was I personally attacking you. I'm just saying there's nothing wrong with the people who aren't formally trained doing makeup on themselves. I'm really over makeup artists thinking they are better than everybody else. Makeup is a fun art. No matter how good or bad at it, it's a fun endeavor. Why would somebody who just loves doing makeup on themselves have to learn about different skin tones and face shapes? You don't have to be a professional to have a passion for something

You always look so glamorous. Great job Tara....once she tweeked your brows such a difference.

At 45 and a recent amputation I decided to go back to school and really learn makeup and become a MUA because of my love for makeup and not really ready to “settle for being a one legged lady who did nothing. I do a lot of prom work and some bridal work as well. I’m determined not to take myself too seriously and enjoy makeup and because of being over 45 not follow the rules or trends for a 25 year old. Love to see you and your ease with this time in your own life. What an inspiration you are! Love to You 😘💋😍

I know calcium is important, I lost loads of hair in my early twenties after having a grand mal seizure. The medication caused weight gain and hair loss. A friend bought me the "mane and tail" stuff that was popular then, and I do wish I could remember the supplements , they were amazing. We just called it "hair shake", you added it to Apple juice (or milk, but allergic then and vegan now, so Apple juice) It did t just help my hair, it made my whole body feel better, calmer, so that was a lot of B vitamins. I know those are important for healthy hair. Just make sure you are eating right and supplementing anything you don't get from your diet - which for me is B12.

you should make more videos together guys! maybe you can give some ideas for make up artist! ❤❤❤😍😍😍

Your inner light and joy sparkles through in every moment. So glad I found your channel! Love to You 😘💋😍

Monique, micro blade, I did it and I've never looked back! It's heaven having perfect eyebrows everyday with no work. You are so beautiful and such an inspiration to the more mature of us xxx you go girl xxx

The problem is that makeup is no longer easy (It is very hard for the back) and if the client does not stop talking even worse, interrupts and delay the work of the makeup artist, poor esthéticienne so long standing, leaning and have all the time to stop to listen. no Wey.

Really enjoyed this - love long chatty videos, especially with grwm! Tara is sooo beautiful! As are you Monique! Thanks!

It feels so nice getting your makeup done by a professional. I am looking forward to seeing the photos on the new website!

You do a better job than the make up artist!

Its amazing the impact the brow makes. The paler brow she did first was a prettier, softer and more natural look in my opinion. The darker brows take the look to a much harsher, more theatrical/unnatural level. Overall, she did a great job but the video would have been a little more interesting if Tara had have talked about the products and techniques she was using as she went along. I'm not trying to offend, just give honest feedback. Obviously I enjoy your channel otherwise I wouldn't be here! Looking forward to checking out the website.
