Now that I’m in my 40s full coverage foundation is a big no! And I 100% agree about shimmer on the eyes!!!

same! I can do full coverage just in spots but not all over face anymore- it looks cake and thick

It's weird that when we are younger without as much to cover we put it all on, and when we get older and may want more coverage we can't pile it on anymore. I use concealer strategically for my 'foundation'.

The NYX concealer in the pump has been life changing for my dry aging skin - the only product I can wear without looking like a cake face. I use it as foundation. The only product that smooths my skin and doesn't cling to texture you can't otherwise see.

@@kerenkrollI agree. So great as a foundation for us older woman. I just discovered the new makeup forever glow foundation. So beautiful and as an under eye concealer it is awesome.

Please, let‘s just strive for a bit of honesty here. Do shinier lipsticks fill in fine lines better and give the lips a fuller appearance? Absolutely. But the whole „when I wear this people ask if I got filler and I‘m like no it‘s just this lipstick and the way I apply it“ thing is really phony here. These are not Marlena‘s original lips. And that is fine and a personal decision. But be up front about it. For those of us, like me, who have been following you since the start, we‘re not blind. Just be honest about it.

Yes!

Loved filming this with you! So much fun!

We need a tutorial with both their makeup. Please each one make a video on your respective channels, thanks!

Two beautiful ladies......thanks for the great tips!

I can't leave the house without a bit of shimmer or glitters on the eyes. I'm older and find it makes my eyes look bigger. 😊

Lisa is beautiful just as you are Marlena. Thanks for sharing all of this!

I love shimmer eyeshadows. Marlena, I just love your laugh & how real you are. You're beautiful. Thank you for being here for us !

Love all of these tips! I'm 29, but even though I'm not over 40 yet, I think these are also great makeup techniques for those of us (like myself) with dry skin, textured skin, and small eyes. Such a great collab video!

Marlena , your makeup is flawless. You look absolutely stunning!! ❤🦋❤

Thanks for the ideas! I'm older and if I'm going to use eyeshadow a primer is a must. Sometimes I can get away with a matte nude look without having lids that look like a jigsaw puzzle but mostly the lines are there without something to fill the cracks first. Also as I've aged I'm finding cream shadows more forgiving than powder.

I’ve changed my makeup techniques completely as I hit 60. Nothing under the eyes: no concealer, no liner, no mascara. I have fine lines, but they look better without makeup. I start my foundation on the outer edges because that’s where I need discoloration coverage. On my lips I wear a lip pencil that is not creamy and fill in my lips but I don’t take it all the way to the edges since they are beginning to downturn slightly.

Thanks ladies/great points. Wearing eyeliner in the inner rim is also really bad for your eyes so that's a good reason not to as well!

I am in my early 60’s. Through trial and error I have adopted most of these tips. It’s good to hear I am on the right track. The one tip I would add is Don’t skip a moisturizing skincare routine prior to makeup application. It takes a little experimentation to find the products which work well under makeup without pilling. In my twenties and thirties I could get away without prepping my skin. Now it’s a must.

It' s totally the opposite for me😅. As a goth, the only thing I adoooore about aging is fat pads loss, having chiseled Maleficent-ish features and sunken Willem Dafoe cheeks. Not only I don' t try to soften all these constant changes but I enhance hollows and pointy bones even more✨💀✨. The more harsh the better. Treti-suncreen for a lovely skin, at home device + ATO radiofrequency sessions to keep the lower third in its place and Happy Halloween every day! That 2009 photo🥹, I was there! The nostalgia🥺... In spite of not being the target, anyways THANK YOU you for these beyond useful and helpful tips. What a treat collab💫💫 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤

The dynamic duo of tips and tricks. Really enjoyed this!!!

Shimmers are your friend as you get older….this bling queen LOVES that

Love bk beauty brushes AND the Risa lahes!!!! 💜🙌

SO SO good!!

I truly appreciate both of you. Whether you do a video together or separately, I always feel better after watching. Your tips are amazing and both of your kind hearts shine through every time. So thank you to both of you. Big hugs!

This is a great video! Thank you both! I have probably 20 years on you ladies, and I agree with your statements. I have Rosacea, and I FINALLY learned to use foundation only around and on my nose to cover the redness. As you said, it’s all in the center of my face-but it looks SO much better! The best point you made was that makeup is FUN! We need to TRY things, if it doesn’t work, wash it off! Try something else! I’ve loved makeup since I was TWO! I’m nearly 62, and I adore it! Not stopping now!

I love that you ladies are filming together! I adore you both! Great tips for us ladies with more fine lines ! I’m 60 and while I still like my colors I just use them a little differently now!

Marlena you are a huge inspiration to me getting into makeup and starting my channel! You’ve never lost your passion through everything you’ve been through and watching your videos makes me feel so motivated to chase mine too. Thank you for being you! ❤

Yup! The lip liner is a must! I also lean more towards satin shadows on my lid as well. Marlena, I really feel like I have grown up with you, I started my obsession with makeup with you back in 2011. You have been helping me ever since. Thank you ❤

I loved this video. Seeing two of my favorite KZreadrs making a video together was such a pleasure. I would love to see more collabs.

I am 38 and rediscovering make-up again since my early twenties! I watched your videos then to help me with my techniques and I am SO glad you have these videos so I can learn with you all over again!! It is almost as if I am reliving my youth 😆😅

Thank you Marlena and Lisa, super tips🤩🤩🤩

I agree with the shimmer eyeshadow Marlena! I am 60 and it makes me look fresh and goes with the dewy look so good 👍

It does! I HATE when people say you can't wear shimmers when you get older. I find they look more flattering. My mom is 70 and I always apply shimmers on her and it looks amazing

Tutorial for Marlena's shiny eye look please! 🔥🔥🔥

I've been watching Lisa J also. Good to see you two together!

I just want to say Lisa is AMAZING!! I bought brushes from her about a year ago, 1 brush was missing and she replaced it very quickly . I truly appreciate her customer service.

This was fun! Getting tips from two Ladies I admire a lot is great. I totally agree about the brown eyeliner as opposed to black, even though I still have dark hair, (with a little help of course,) I switched to brown a while back. Black became too stark and hard looking for me. Thanks you two, I loved seeing you together.

Amazing to see 2 of my fav girls together! Been loving the over 40 videos also.

I am 41 and loved these tips. Majority of them I had recently changed to without even thinking of the why. Great video! Thank you

Loving this collaboration and knowledge sharing. Thank you both lovely ladies.

Thank you! These are great tips. Marlena, your makeup is gorgeous, loving the eye shadow and lashes, and Lisa- your skin is amazing and looks pretty. I'm so glad I watched this video ✨

Ok I've been around since the beginning of time with both of you content creator makeup artist/geeks and watching you have fun together is so fun!!! As a retired "girl boss" from a successful 30 year run in my own retail stores I understand all the ups and downs/highs/lows of "running the shop" so to speak! It ain't always pretty and it ain't always easy but it sure is personally fulfilling when it starts to gain momentum. Enjoy that and keep your head! So proud of you two....keep riding the rails...there's so much more ahead! Just your channels alone stand on their own merit. Keep bringing the content, we love it!!

Marlena is gorgeous!

This was so good! Love the contrast of your two sets of features beside one another 🥰

I stopped lining my waterline as it made my eyes look tiny. In fact no eye makeup below my eyes. Just concealer. At 64 the problem I'm having is thin lips. No more red lipstick, it just doesn't look good. Kathy B

Ahhh love both of you guys! And the BK Beauty brushes are amazing! I’m still in my early 30s but I still find this informative! ❤

I’m over 50 and these tips are spot on!

I love you ladies thank you so so much for the tips and ideas! I'm hitting 40 in May and I can definitely tell the closer I get. My skin is so different now.

Great video ladies. I always learn something and I can never have too many tips. Thanks so much!

What a lovely duo you make. Thanks!❤❤

I love these videos with you two together!

Love you two together. I just watched the one you did with Lisa on her channel!

As I gotten older, I been wearing less makeup. I used to rock black Smokey eye everyday in my 20’s. I feel embracing your natural beauty and just being confident in your own skin is the best beauty advice I can give in my 40’s Thank you for doing these series! Love both of your channels! Marlena, been watching you even before you had make up geek as a cosmetics company (og muggie). Bought all make up geek eyeshadows and lipsticks. Eyeshadows are some of the best ever!

I just turned 40 and most of these tips I use. Still it’s nice to have a refresher from wonderful ladies!

Great tips! I specifically started doing less powder all over and also, now I do brown liner. Game changers! Thank you

Back in the day women used to bathe with their makeup on to get that glowy look to the skin, or lay a moist washcloth over their face. Now we have setting mists that not just put moisture back into the skin but gets rid of that flat matte, powdery and cakey look. The sponge also makes a huge difference to get a more skin like appearance while being able to even out our skin and add color back on the face. Before the beauty sponge, they used those wedges and before that they used their fingers with the warmth of the body to get that seamless look. We’ve come a long way with beauty products and inventions. Now they even sell “skincare” brushes when any brush will do ya.😂

You are both amazing people. Inspiring female business owners that support others like that. (Jen Luv and Angelica seem like that too.) So genuine…

Thank you for these ideas. I enjoy seeing the two of you together and having fun. I also appreciate that you are sharing things from your personal experience, and I am going to try a few things this week to see how they work for me. :-) I have learned that for me, I need to pay much more attention to skin prep before applying makeup. I have dry, sensitive skin, and I need to make sure that I am moisturized well before applying makeup. My facial shape has changed a little bit, so I have started lifting my blush and highlighter a little bit higher on my cheeks instead of putting them on the apple of the cheek. Finally, I have to pay a lot more attention to ingredients, especially in foundation, because I find that denatured alcohol causes problems for me. My skin has always been sensitive, but it has become more so over time.

Love y’all together and all your tips 💖💖

Great video,thank you, felt a bit relieved knowing that we women have similar issues in our 40s and makeup techniques require revisions around this age & less is more, glad I am doing some things right :)

Ladies, L'Oreal Infallible lipsticks/ glosses are wonderful & affordable!

YESSS!!! Shimmers!!!! ❤❤

Thank you very much for this summary of no-goes. Now when I am in my 40s too I also waived black eye liners and fully matt shadows... And I adore naturally looking skin with complimenting slightly shimmery blush and shimmers on eyes are a must! Please let me know what eyeshadows you both wear - they are stunning!!! 😍

That was great, and I think your tips are spot on. I quit using black liner a long time ago, brown is so much softer.

Enjoyed this video. Always learn something new from watching you. 🌷

Love this video of you guys together!!!

It’s so interesting how everyone’s faces are different. I have horrible pigmentation/melasma around the edge of my face, so I feel like I go heavy with foundation around there and then much lighter towards the middle.

LOVEEEEEEE you guys together!!

This was such a great and helpful video! What makes me the happiest... REALLY HAPPY... is to see you 2 together... and other content creators filming joint videos... and I just feel so warm and fuzzy ;) to see the friendships and beautiful connection (as opposed to competition) in this space. I feel like we get to know each of your personalities a bit... and it is so beautiful in the deeper way, to see the collaboration and connections. Love LOVE!!!

Marlena what’s the lip combo shades? It’s beautiful!

Great tips!!!! Lip liner is a must and brown eyeliner and no powder preferred lol but I usually have to on my nose and chin 🤍🤍🤍 thanks girls you are both amazing!!!!

Such cool video!! I'm 41 and i'm learning to do my makeup!! Thank you ladys for the tips. And oh, i love and admire you for wearing a cross Marlena, especially in present days.

Thank you ladies!!❤

Yes you guys are the second MUA that have suggested the creamy eyeliner on the waterline.

You guys are my favorite ❤️ ❤. Thank you for this video.

Gorgeous women!!! I wanna look like you two when I'm in my 40s, so put together 😍😍😍

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO 🙌 now I know what to do in my +40 make up 👏👏👏👏

Great video; thank you ladies.🤩

Marlena, Please do a tutorial of the products and eye look it’s gorgeous!!! 🥰

Now I'm 55years...leaning!! Thank you sisters ❤❤Singapore 🇸🇬

OMG I loved this! It was like a chit chat with your sister friends 🥰

I love this video. I use all these tips!

Love you both and this was great!

Love shimmers!

Great suggestions 👏🏻

Lisa is the nicest person. She truly is. She was incredibly kind to me with an order of BK brushes. Downright charitable. I think I suggested BK beauty brushes to every influencer. A few days before Nikki came out with her Collab, she used a different brush than BK and I left a message, asking her why she was using another brush brand! I am just so happy for Miss Lisa and Mr. Paul, and for everyone else who benefits from the brushes. That would be anyone who uses them. I promise.

❤❤ love this....thank you 😊

I have definitely found Urban Decay's Ozone pencil to be my bestie. it's clear and keeps my lip liner out of my lines, cures bleeding and also the corners of my eyes. It keeps it from seeping in my fine lines. Especially, because I'm either in the heat training dogs or running around the hospital

I agree about shimmer shadows, they're much more forgiving than matte. I'm nearly 70, and mattes make my eyes look more wrinkled and dry.

As you get older creams and liquids I think are a must. They melt into the skin and look so much more natural and flattering, but it also doesn’t last as long as a powder obviously so my question is, Patrick Ta recommends putting a powder blush down then a cream over it to bring back that skin like look to the cheeks and it always looks gorgeous and more natural. I’ve done this with other blushes and get the same result. So why are we told to avoid putting creams and liquids over powders but recently have been told to do that exact thing? Why does it work sometimes and lifts the makeup or causes patchiness etc other times? Also, why do we sometimes get pilling while other times we do not, even if it’s with the exact same products?

Patrick Ta's formula is made for that technique

Before the CT Hollywood glow /Elf dupe mania online, I bought & still use Lisa Eldridges Elevated Glow which gives a beautifully natural skin illumination.

I love your collaboration, I only wish you would had shown more affordable options for those of us that can't afford to pay 40.00 for a pressed powder.

I love yall❤❤❤ u both r so knowledgeable 💞

Love these tips and tricks videos! Are there additional tips for those of us in our late 50’s? Or go with these?

I'm 54 and I agree with Marlena about shimmer on the eyelid.

Thanks for the tips

42 here and I stopped wearing black eyeliner on top lid as much because I feel like it started to age me unless I wear a super thin line. Something I noticed too is now a lot of my bright red lipsticks aged me too even with lipliner. I saw a tip where a makeup artist warmed up the red on her hand and pressed it and it made the color look less severe. Starting to think muted red lip colors are more my friend.

I'm almost 60 and I definitely see how my eyes are starting to angle downward where they used to be straight across. I compensate by doing a winged eyeliner just at the outer third of my eyes. I may start wearing partial falsies there too, though so far I've stuck to mascara only. I also find it important to treat my face as several faces, instead of applying products all over as if all my skin was the same. It's not the same texture, dry/oiliness, pore size, even color, so why would I think one product would work on my entire face? Makeup winds up either looking unflattering in some spots, or too caked on as I apply additional products to sections trying to compensate for the wrong product applied there in the first place! Instead I just focus on using sponges to blend the edges of how I've treated different sections as they each need to be treated. I think it works. The other day I asked a neighbor if she thought the new foundation I was trying out looked like the right shade for me and she actually commented on my blush. She thought the blush was the foundation, because on the rest of my face she couldn't tell I was wearing anything at all! But yeah, my skin isn't that flawless. I don't look like that with nothing but blush. LOL

Same im 48 and I use nude or a pink light pink on my waterline. Brown yes but very lightly and smudge it out.

Thanks for all the good tips. Im not forty but i have changed skin after pregnancys and have to try new techniques ❤️

Thanks‼️💕

Thanks you two are great people...I have lines above my lip should I still wear a lip liner? or does it bring the attention to those lines any suggestions would be welcome???!!

Lovely video❤❤

I bought that Fenty powder on your recommendation (and it was on sale!) and I love it!

🎉​@MarlenaStell what brush do you recommend to apply powder foundation if it is used as an all-over base ?

The drunk elephant lip balm has a peptide that restores your lip line I think it’s tri peptide one. I use it every day once a day, and my lip line came back and it’s strong and defined. The lip balm doesn’t last forever or make your lips feel extremely cushy or amazing. It’s a standard lip balm that stays on your lips for a short period of time, but just putting it on that once a day with that peptide in it has brought my lip line back, and if I stop using it, it goes away but when I use it again, it eventually comes back.

What is the color you put on from YSL? I tried your link but Sephora says they don’t carry it? Thanks!
