My 55+ makeup before and after.

Lots of you asked for it so here it is, a longer video of me applying my makeup. I am not a professional makeup artist but I've been crazy about makeup since the age of 14. I'm now 56 and still enjoying the creative process of applying makeup.
Skincare by @OleHenriksenSkincare
Makeup by @fentybeauty @Hudabeauty & @KVDBEAUTY
I wear makeup for me, not to look younger but to cover scars and have some fun playing around with lipstick and eyeliner. I will never be too old for playing dress-up.
I don't use filters or any special effects. I filmed this on my iPhone14+ with a ring light to illuminate my face on a cloudy day.
None of this is sponsored. I share what I wear to inspire other women to dust off their makeup bag and have a tinker with some lipstick. It's fun, and it makes me feel fabulous!

I hate these older women sites that say “you can’t wear it like this” just because we’re over 50! Do whatever you like and stay beautiful 😊

i mean she technically IS an old lady, but there's nothing wrong with that imo. She's beautiful, she takes good care of herself and she teaches other older (and younger) ladies how to do the same 💖

@@lonewolf1928 How old are you? 12? A fifty-something person is middle aged. So no, she's not technically or in any other way an old lady.
Gail, you may have scarring, but you have a lovely bright eyed face with good features that really come into their own with the application of your make-up. Stunning! From this man's perspective, one of the best pieces of make-up any lady can have is an engaging smile.
The over 50 demographic is HUGE! (And, as everyone should know, we have more discretionary income than teens and 20-something’s.) There is no reason you shouldn’t get a sponsorship with how great you look and how your channel is booming!
I love your Authenticty ❤
These companies are missing a trick…there are lots of us “Old Ladies” out there that love makeup, pretty clothes and jewellery! Your makeup always looks lovely. 👌 I love the fact that you like to wear costume jewellery, I used to wear stuff like that but sadly I gave up, your videos are making me realise that I’d like to start wearing it again! 😍

I had stopped cutting my hair, wearing makeup and the costume jewelry that I had loved so much.. Now I’m back to being my unique self and doing what makes me happy.. Got my hair cut into a short bob, bought a bunch of costume jewelry and playing around with my makeup and my wardrobe..

Yes! The costume jewellery! I have lots and ALMOST got rid when the fashion for a couple or 3 of simple chains started. I never actually got round to it which I'm happy about. Time to start wearing it again. Makeup too. It's funny how these things were part of everyday but somehow so went by the wayside. Thank you Gail for being such an inspiration ❤
I honestly can hardly see any scars at all on your skin. You look lovely with or without the makeup. ❤
Many thanks for this make up video! I’m 72 and love ‘putting my face on’ in the morning, like you I’ve been in love with make up since I was fourteen and with my silver hair I think I look so much more attractive with it than without it!
I’m 63 and now that im allowing myself to see all my grey; I do realize I need makeup. Thanks for saying to wear makeup like WE “older women “, the colors we want. My 20 yr old daughter critics too much. As long as we keep it simple and WE like it, it’s a go!!!!
I so appreciate your "doing it for me" attitude. You've inspired me in so many ways. Your play with your makeup and clothing is admirable. Thank you, thank you!
You are like that wonderful friend who forever tells you how incredible you are 🎉 Your light always lights me up ❤ Today I want to Thank You for helping me remember the FUN of being a female 😂 I am your age and sometimes I forget the joy in creating my face, my 'look', my style, even my body. I've let so many things become a chore. In truth, it is a gift and not a chore to have so many options with which to create. And as feminines, it is our birthright to swing our hips, paint our lips and adorn our bodies if that's what makes us happy 🎉

You are an inspiration and a great advocate for still looking good over 50.Please don't listen to all the negative comments.
I’m 64 and I agree with you that a little foundation goes along way. I do my makeup so that it pleases me and I don’t worry what anyone thinks…. I love your makeup, it looks great❤
Gail you are fabulous! I'm 56 and have a vegan channel here on KZread and I hate the idea of getting in front of the camera. You have been such an inspiration. Thank you! I will continue watching you.
This was great thank you. Hey companies us Old Ladies (please we’re so far from that WE ARE A DEMOGRAPHIC! Lol. Another fantastic video!
You look beautiful and put together with minimal makeup ❤❤❤❤ that’s how I like to do my face up.. Nothing too dramatic ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your honesty, and for not using a filter.
You make me smile EVERY video I watch of yours ! Just adore you !
mate, i am 40 and i am obsessed with your page! I've not watched young girls doing makeup for a while now. just because...life 😂 but i found you and you have awakened my young heart! thank you 50 sister! you are stunning and GORGEOUS!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ and your style is right up my street 💋👌🏼🥰
You have inspired me greatly to be the better version of me. Im exercising, eating healthier, staying more positive throughout the day. I dont use much makeup but i really enjoy watching you put on makeup. Pls do more on makeup and please show us where you buy your accessories and clothes and shoes etc. Bring us shopping. 🧡😊
I think your gorgeous! Love watching you and your accent! Thank you for helping us senior ladies. Love your hair cut as well.
Thank you for this. One more step forward for me to love myself more. One of your previous videos encouraged me to buy a new lipstick and I'm wearing it often. What a difference it makes for my soul.
Wow you look great! That was really useful to see with lots of good tips. I am 77 and my skin is quite good and I love to wear make up every day. Keep up the good work!
Love this Gail. You look gorgeous 🩷xx
Amen! I love that you just dress the way you love! Confidence is lovely! Wear what you love and live the best life for you!
"Im going to continue to put it on the way it makes me happy"....fan forever!
I so appreciate your authenticity!!! That’s why I continue to follow you!!!
Subscribed ... for the lovely authenticity (spirit and attitude), jump rope (I will buy one today, bc of your vids, which I discovered only yesterday), and makeup transformation. Thank you, best wishes, and kind regards from NYC!
I just discovered you last weekend and have binge-watched all your videos. You are a breath of fresh air! I love your energy and you inspire me to try harder to get my 60 year-old self to a better place.
Love your makeup 'philosophy'! As I've got older I've shied away from it for the reasons you mention....others telling me I'm doing it wrong. Thanks for inspiring me to ignore them! 😊
You look radiant and beautiful! It's amazing how a little bit of makeup can make such a difference. I've been watching some of your videos and so admire your confidence and vibrancy. I agree, it truly does come from within.🌼
You’re so pretty!!!! I love your hair as well… thank you for your transparency, authenticity, and for being an amazing advocate for women over 50! ❤

When I'm 55, I aspire to exude the same elegance and charm as you do. Your hairstyle and demeanor are truly captivating, giving off a fairy godmother vibe that makes watching your videos a delightful experience.
You look smashing!!!!! Just beautiful😊 these people and companies that put them selves in a box!!!!! . Just being transparent, who benefits the most from makeup? . Us over 50. We just want to grab a little shine, and help. We want our out side to match our inside.!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Those millennials and gen ZZZ-ers who say it's not for women over 50 and we are too old, trying to discard us like trash...are rude, selfish and ignorant! You are absolutely beautiful, actually stunning and confident, healthy looking. Thank you for spreading a positive vibe ✨️ ❤🎉🎉🎉
You are the first person I have ever say "what I have always felt about new mascara". I never knew how to explain what I felt about new mascara
I'm obsessed! A short from this creator randomly showed up on my feed. Currently 39, very over weight, slowly trying to change my life back to who I am! Love love love this content. Thank you. If I look half a beautiful as you in 2 years.. I will never go back.
You are the first person to show makeup for scars....Yay!! I shall try this method which is slightly different than what I've been doing that doesn't camouflage anything. Thank you
Fascinating procedure. I am 65 and don't tend to wear make up very often as I can't really see to put it on without my glasses! I never know whether I am making a mess and have to keep putting my glasses on to check - very inconvenient. So a few weeks ago we were in John Lewis and I noticed a large double sided mirror with a high magnification on one side - game changer. I've had magnified mirrors before but they were either not magnified enough or too small to see what I was doing. I now need to get back into the habit of putting on make up, as I just haven't bothered for ages.
I just love your energy, your style & your honesty! Thank you for sharing.
What a great start to my day... thankyou!! Love you ❤ Have a beautiful day everyone xxx
Another great video lovely lady for us "invisible" women. Thank you.
Just a couple of tips, you will get a better finish if you use a damp beauty blender sponge to apply your base and if you apply the bronzer much higher up on your cheek bones you will get a lifting affect x
You're truly beautiful, intelligent and inspiring. Every blessing to you ✨️ ❤️
I can’t believe anybody would have the nerve to say you are doing anything wrong with your makeup, you look absolutely gorgeous ❤
Keep being you. It's very refreshing and pretty inspirational. Looks amazing. 😊
I am a new subscriber to your channel and I love watching your videos ... your sense of well being and style it so realistic and natural. I am 63 years young and invest lots of time in taking care of myself especially my diet to keep cholesterol under control! watching this was proof positive what a confident beautiful woman you are and an inspiration to all of us who are aging and living our best lives ever! Thank you snd keep posting! Would love a hair tutorial video with the products you use as well....
Looks beautiful!! Thank you for the tips!
I’m so happy that I’ve discovered your channel!!! I’m 43 and I absolutely share your amazing attitude to life! You are my inspiration and I am fascinated with the positive vibes that you radiate in all your videos. And I’d like to give you one compliment ( actually this very thing captivated me at once)- this is your eyes! They are shining !!! You are an unbelievable woman!!!
Amazing Video yes you feel much better definitely when all is on Gives you confidence Forget Negativity to much in the world Thanks😊
Gosh, people have a lot to say to you about how you do YOUR make-up don't they! I wonder if they realise that they don't need to follow you if they're not inspired 🤔 Those who stick around love your content and you! ❤
Love you Gail! Your confidence is infectious. Keep doing you. Can’t wait for your book to come out.

I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.

You are amazing! Absolutely lovely!! And, thank you!!!
Beautiful! Gave me some ideas for my 60 year old face!
You look great for any age. I'm 63 and love your channel ❤
I had a look at your other videos and only interested in a few tbh. My parents had a health food shop for many years and so I'm aware of most things. We also knew the vegan customers because they looked so ill! I'm going back into the 80's there and I realise most things have advanced now and channels like yours, helps. If you do more makeup videos. That's my interest so I've clicked the notification bell 😊
❤you look AMAZING and GORGEOUS ❤
What a breath of fresh air you are. Newly subscriber.
Thank you! you are lovely ❤
The best thing about getting older is not giving a fig for others' opinions ! You look beautiful and full of joie de vivre . ❤
Thank you for sharing! Now for a video on how you cut your own hair! (Please!) ✨🌸
IVE ALWAYS LOVED MAKEUP TOO.
No, please, sell me stuff. Sell me stuff. I want to buy it! Your look appears relatively natural to me, so I am a little surprised there are so many steps involved. I am probably too lazy to do all that every day, but I will check out some of these products. My skin looks about like yours, and I haven’t been through a fire, so to me your skin looks perfectly fine with no makeup on. Thanks for the tutorial, and I will be Googling the skin-blurring foundation. I do enjoy your fun effervescent approach to style and beauty, and I am thinking about ramping up my veggie intake. (No pun was intended, but in retrospect, a ramp is a type of wild onion found in the eastern United States.)
It's absurd that companies do not want to focus on older women..... that is the demographic that has higher disposable income 🤷
You look lovely! Thank you for posting this.😊
Some people are just cra cra. You look great the way you put makeup on your own face.
I really did laugh out loud when you were showing your wardrobe! I just decided I am not wearing t-shirts and capris any more. I bought skirts, tops, pants and a swimsuit...all in a similar style to yours!! AND I bought the size I will be able to wear again! I was already overweight and out of shape when I was in an accident and fractured my spine. It has taken 3 months in a torture brace then a year of slow recovery when I struggled to walk across a room. I may never fully recover but am determined to get fit and regain my strength. Seeing all the new outfits waiting for me is my encourage- ment. I also get to buy all new makeup as I trashed all the old stuff...and stopped coloring my hair!! My hubby loves my silver streaks ... so do I. AND, I have been thinking about getting rid of stuff. We diwnsized our home from 2600 sq. ft. To 340 sq ft. 12 years ago, but we kept most of our stuff thinking we would build the "home of our dreams". That ship sailed. Now, I would rather spend the house money on adventures. I'll be ready by next spring. I love your outlook on life!
I just found your video today. Your amazing! Why do people even comment with the negativity. Don’t give them an ounce of your energy! You’ve motivated me! Thank you.
You're a breath of fresh air! The most beautiful thing about you is your confident attitude. You inspire me (and thousands of others). Thank you!
Such fun watching you play with makeup 💄 totally agree that it’s important to do your own thing and not worry about what anyone else does. Beautiful end results 👍🏻
This video is a ‘breath of fresh air’. I’m in. I think you’re amazing.
Absolutely love the confidence. That's one thing I do love about getting older, unapologetic!
Just discovered your videos! Will be looking through your older ones. You are so real! Keep doing what you do! 😍
You look wonderful!
Thank you for this video ❤I’m very happy that you made this tutorial. I’m in my early 60’s and I have not worn makeup for more than 30 years 🫣I want to lightly even my skin without feeling like I am wearing too much makeup. You’ve given me the encouragement to try my hand at creating my own look!

Try Glo Minerals tinted sunscreen as it looks like a very light makeup and it gives you a little coverage.
