I have shaved my face as Japanese do using a dispo razor since I was 15 and am 75 now. Of course, did not always have dispo razors back in high school. Shaving has kept my face smooth and receptive to active skin ingredients. I also sleep on my back. I have no turkey neck or jowls and no crow's feet. I wear eye makeup and lipstick only. Have never used foundation. I have reddish cheeks naturally. At 73 I began to use hyaluronic acid and at 75 added vit c and niacinamide. Two weeks ago I added retinoids. I used jojoba oil on my neck for 6 years. I think my young face is due to genetics, doctors and nurses and immigration staff ( I travel a lot) tell me I look 45. Helps being petite and thin. You help me a lot with your attitude. Thank you Nikol!

Lipstick is my go-to when I'm without my makeup bag. Lips, blush, eyes...works great.

I've been using cosmetics in ways not intended for decades (I'm 75), but never told anyone. For instance, I've always liked using my lipstick to color my cheeks in a shade that complemented my lips. And, I "cheated" by using my mascara to strengthen the look of my brows. I'm so relieved to not keep that secret anymore. Thanks, Nikol. "

Correct! I am 66, same here! Over the last several years have felt that so many young people have fallen for "you can't use this here, only here" principal....for heavens sake one product used on a face won't do harm being put two inches away on the lips...but the industry says NO, don't do that, the chemicals will cause damage....well, if they cause damage in one location 2 inches away the same damage is being done🙄. Ages ago women picked berries of trees for color to use as make up. Videos such as Nikol's teach us to use our own creativity...we deserve to, we have made it this far💝

I tried my black mascara to shape my brows. It was the formula that I liked not the color. Brow gels ( brow mascara) Purchased in the past were too oily. Now I have found a chocolate mascara I am going to experiment.

Thank you for not only teaching me about makeup in my 60's, but "ministering" to my ego about my blank canvas (my face). I wonder if you know HOW MUCH you help all of us older ladies. I tell you, it's all in your head and attitude. Think "I'm beautiful", and that really goes a long way with your makeup application, at least it does for me. God bless you, dear, dear, gorgeous lady 🙏.

Same here. But I love watching her work her products to enhance her natural beauty. ❤

I've always used my eyeliner as a lip liner, then used a lipliner next to that. It's great for women who do not have full lips!

I am a retired esthetician. After 38 years as a professional - I’ve seen a lot of trends come and go and not always a lot of tips and tricks for helping your skin and features look the best for you! This is the approach I used - and how one can apply parts or all of the trends to suit one’s age, face and lifestyle. It’s so nice that you’re doing that also. I happily share much of your content with several of my previous clients. They’re always grateful. Many thanks!

Another great video! So glad you also discussed face shaving too. I’m 65 and believe it’s one of the best things I do for my skin. It gives a wonderful smooth look and makeup applies so much better, giving a more youthful look to skin. ❤️

Nikol your approach to helping older women with their makeup application is wonderful. I’ve been watching someone else on KZread who win she turned 50 she started getting procedures. I’m 71 I don’t look my age and I am letting my hair turn gray. I find that you did it naturally. To use makeup tricks to help us with aging skin to look our best and not used too much make up. I love your honesty. I’m so happy I found your channel. I also ordered some of your make up. Thank you. Nicki.

Nikol so glad to hear you tell Women to use their eye liner to define their lips ! I’ve been doing this for years it never heard a professional suggest this. Yay I was doing it right all along, thanks !! 😊

"It's a little surprising"...I need to remember to tell myself that on THOSE days as well! LOVE your channel!!!😂❤

Great tip. I would have been at a loss if I forgot to pack my lipliner. The old adage “necessity is the mother of invention “ comes to mind. I agree , I have always used eyeliner and lipliner. I am 84 and never get tired of my makeup routine every day. Thanks Nicole. Love your videos

When I was 16 and starting shaving my legs I immediately noticed how smooth my legs were and when I put moisturizer on how quickly it soaks in. While soaking in the bathtub I tried shaving my arms even though the peach fuzz wasn’t a problem. Again my arms were so smooth and moisturizers soaking in the skin made my skin look and feel amazing. I then had the crazy thought to again massage a moisturizing shaving cream on my face! ( after exfoliating) The result were amazing when moisturizing and when I applied Retin A. Applied makeup looked amazing! You’re not only removing peach fuzz but you’re removing dead skin cells. I do this in the privacy of my bathroom even though I have shared this ritual with some friends. Best thing I ever did! ❤

I did a trip that had a limit on the weight of my luggage. I was amazed at how I could make do with fewer products but not miss a thing. I used a face palette as basically most of my makeup . Worked great👍. Thanks for your awesome attitude ❤️

Dear Nikol Johnson, you remind me of Anne Bancroft. Style & Class 🥰🍀

Thank u Nikol for teaching us about makeup

Totally agree we need eyeliner and lip pencil getting older. I can imagine how you felt discovering your forgotten makeup 😢. Thanks for sharing, I love your posts. You are beautiful inside and out. God Bless you from N Ireland ☘️🌹

You look simply gorgeous. Simple is oftentimes the truest beauty & being in a pinch putting things together in a different way is the simplest. Loved the ideas & look. Thank you.

I am so relieved to hear that you recommend the Tinkle. Until about a year ago I was so afraid to "shave" my face. I had nightmares about the hair returning darker and thicker. I started using the Tinkle, however, when I saw one of your videos about your face and neck being cut by the drugstore dermaplane razor, I was very afraid to use mine again. My mind can rest easy now and my face can/will be smooth once again. Thank you so much for all your tips. I absolutely LOVE your videos.

I use Tinkle skin blades too. The main reason men look so much better as they age is because they shave. Exfoliation is a good thing for skin care.

I work from home! I do love working from home. But it is so easy to just let things go.I feel so much more confident and put together if I put on makeup and a nice top and jewelry. Thank you for the tips. I especially love this and the eyeliner look

The best makeup tutorial I watched and learnt so far... You are beautiful without makeup too

I love the tip on using the bronzer as a shadow, I love your bronzer and can't wait to try it as a shadow tomorrow morning along with the eyeliner pencil. I am going to try to create that same look, having so much fun playing around with all the products. Thank you Nikol for being such a wonderful inspiration to all of us!

Ty Nikol. Love hearing new tricks.

Hello Nicol! Thank you for video! You are amazing! ❤❤

I have been using my brow pencil for my lips for years!! It is the best color for my lips!! And it stays on my lips for ever!

Looks great. I hadn’t thought of using a brow pencil for a lip liner.

I look fabulous in my makeup mirror. It’s the hideous lighting in my office casting shadows. It’s like that Seinfeld episode where the woman looks pretty in one light and horrible in other light! 😂

Yes, I too have used my light brown brow pencil as a lip liner a few times and really liked the result. It just needs to be applied very lightly, like you did. I also sometimes use a hint of my light peach cream blush above the outer creases of my eyes to give them definition and look fresh. Some of my light lipsticks make a great cream blush as well. I'm French and love a natural look.

Nikol, I am 59, turning 60 in February. I love your products and videos. I learn so much from you. Thank you for being real.

There’s a woman in north west Tasmania who looks to be mid 60’s. She has very short hair, and wears thick thick blue eyeliner in a complete ring around her eyes. Oh my goodness whenever my daughters and I see her we chuckle about her for days. She’s often out and about shopping. It’s so 1980.

Love your humor!

Awesome. Love your makeup application. Learning so much. Going to try all. Thanks❤

I’m 72. I love watching you do your makeup but I’m also a cancer patient, free rt now, but I have to be careful with my hormone blocker and ingredients. I didn’t lose my brows during treatment but they are very thin and quite streaked with silver. I use eye shadow for brow color, then use pencil but the grey doesn’t cover. I was a bit surprised to find out dark brows go with smoky grey hair. Keep up the videos. I try lip liner but when I fill in my lips it just look like I smeared my lipstick out of the lines instead of correcting lip shape. Appreciate your videos

I love your positivity! The tips you gave us for forgetting necessary products while on vacation, are brilliant!! I love your new beauty products and am ordering almost everything. Thank you, beautiful‼️🌹❣️

im turning 71 next month and i started lining my eyes from center to outer corner and it makes my eyes appear larger :) I am learning from watching your videos too, thank you!!

Thank you Nikol! I'm 57 and needed this pep talk today. I have been feeling down for the last couple of days about my aging face. I take good care of my skin so it looks pretty nice. However, I'm starting to notice a more pronounced squareness to my face due to gravity taking hold of the skin on my jawline. I absolutely do not like it lol! I starting using your products and they are amazing and I mean that! I kept thinking her makeup is so wonderful but I need a new face to show it off on lol! So, I really needed your video today. It was just the reminder I needed to stop thinking negatively and remember that im older but that's ok because i'm still me and i'm still beautiful! I've never been someone who thinks she's beautiful but you are truly starting to convince me that I really am! You're amazing Nikol, thank you! Also, yes I am dying to get my hands on your BB Cream!! I am in no rush! I'll be patient. Your products are worth the wait! ❤️🌹🙂

Thanks for encouraging the use of what we have on hand! I find that running around to find an alternative product (makeup or other) in a pinch can create even more stress and less satisfaction, depending upon the situation. Thanks for showing us how.

Yes! I’ve used lip gloss and lip stick on my eyes and my cheeks - really worked well in a pinch. I’ve used my bronzer as a eye shadow and liner too and I have even used my bronzer as a lip color with gloss on top to give some color. Loved this eye liner as lip liner idea. Very helpful - thanks so much

Your eyeliners and mascara are the best! All others seem to smudge after a couple of hours onto areas they don't belong. The eyeliner works beautifully on the waterline, too. Great tips regarding using the bronzer as eye shadow...very pretty!

I've learned a lot about applying makeup from you, Nikol. Thank you for all you do. I learned from someone a few years ago to apply caster oil on my clean face at night and pat a little extra around my eyes. I even put it on my feet most nights, w socks. Love the results bc My Eyelashes look False they're so long and thick 😊

I just love your makeup tips! I feel like I can learn something new every time I watch one of your videos ! Thank you for all your tutorials

Love the shorter hair. Your look is gorgeous.

You look beautiful and perfectly made up. Very clean look. ❤

Love the softness of this look

Love this. I've been using the bronzer as eye shadow --appliied exactly as you have--for years. Its my 'go to' for a quick casual everyday look. I used to use a powder blush in the same way back in the 80's.

I love your tutorials. I have learned alot. Thanks so much!

Very good video, Nikol. I really enjoyed this. It's just like when you're in a pinch and you forget your blush and you use your lipstick as a quick blush, it works without a whole mess of extra problems! As for facial shaving, I bought the same thing from Amazon several months ago and I absolutely love the large handle and the ease of using it. It's amazing how a little peach fuzz in the wrong areas can create darkness on your skin, and it looks like pigmentation and actually it's just hair! 😊But I'm really interested in trying your creme brulee. I'm so sick of bronzers that look orangey or some other ridiculous color. I like the soft mixtures and the light and dark combinations; it looks natural. I currently use Burts Bees bronzer (creme) and I've used it as a beautiful bronze/nude lip color and it has just a touch of shine, which I don't mind. But it really surprised me how much it worked. Now I use it a lot, but I'm thinking about using your idea of the chocolate pencil as a liner with it! Hmm. Sounds good!😊❤

I have been using a taupe color pencil for years for brows,as well as liner.

Wow, I remember when we used to line our lips with a brow pencil in the 80's, I like the look

You look stunning.

Great tip! Looks amazing!

Yup Nikol ,I do this too. I like the way you smudged it slightly though, for a much more subtle but 'there' look. I've just tried it & it looks great, even if I do say so myself. Thanks to you X

Gorgeous. Way to make it work.

The cheek color is beautiful!

Absolutely stunning 👩🏻‍🦳🌸🥰
