Mascara is tricky as we get into our senior years. I love mascara. I have long lashes…I use a lash serum. I have switched to only using mascara on the outer 1/4 to 1/3 of my lashes. I push the outer mascared lashes out to the side- which elongates my eyes. Using less mascara works better for me. If I use mascara on all my lashes, I get a Bette Davis as Baby Jane look.

99% of lipstick has smashed up bugs in them. It’s called CARMINE……. Carmine (/ˈkɑːrmən, ˈkɑːrmaɪn/) - also called cochineal (when it is extracted from the cochineal insect), cochineal extract, crimson lake, or carmine lake - is a pigment of a bright-red color obtained from the aluminium complex derived from carminic acid. Del-monte uses it in some of their fruit. All fruit cocktail has it in their cherries, Nerds candy has it in their candy, and some companies uses it in their food.

Well "Rebecca Over 60" I'm "75 Soon To Be 76" and I don't wear makeup anymore. I had worked full time for the majority of my adult life in medical related fields where I was in face-to-face contact with the public and medical business related associates on a daily basis. I wore full face makeup every day. I wore it on weekends too. I stopped working in 2011 and filed for disability in 2012. I've had a chronic pain disease for 35 years, and in 2012 I realized I just couldn't get up before the crack of dawn anymore, take a pain pill with a cup of coffee, take a shower, do the hair styling and makeup, and drive to work 5 days a week from 10 to 30 miles one way. I think I put makeup on 2 or 3 times since then, and just stopped doing it. I no longer have face-to-face contact with fellow workers, and don't know any of the people I see from time to time, and I just don't give a damn or feel guilty about not having makeup on! Like you, my eyebrows have nearly all disappeared. So have my eye lashes. In fact I'm quite happy I don't need to shave my legs or arm pits anymore either! I still have all of the loose-powder makeup, ( I gave up the liquid face foundation before I stopped working) pencil eye liners, eye shadow, lipstick, etc. The mascara dried up a long time ago, so I pitched it. My lashes are so thinned, that putting on even the smallest amount would look stupid. I have some never used fake ones, but do not have any desire to wrestle with them. I have been single longer than the total of two marriages, and quite frankly I like it this way! No expectations to deal with every day. So if someone thinks I look horrible with absolutely no makeup on, that's their problem, not mine. I really don't give a rats ass anymore. I'm perfectly happy with the natural me!

I love it! Sorry about the chronic pain, though. French women wear very little makeup and look wonderful! Skincare is most important but all you really need is a good moisturizer and, of course, some type of sunscreen. Going natural can be empowering.

I have always heard that as you get older, just put mascara on your top lashes.

@RebeccaOver60

I agree. If you like to wear it, putting it on the top lashes only has less chance of dripping if your eyes get wet.

Yes on the eyebrows. So my routine (I'm 79) is: sunblock even on my eyebrows and shape them, cream blush on the side of my face and up toward the temple not close to the nose, then eyebrows with a plain little pencil, short strokes. If I'm going out, I put a dab of medium brown eyeshadow on the outer corner of my eyelid. That's it! I've quit lining, using mascara etc. no foundation.

True. I think natural lid color is beautiful without eye shadow. Maybe a little highlighter under the brows.

I’m 65 and also skip mascara most of the time. I even have to watch liner and often use a nude terracotta pencil just to add the slightest bit of definition near my lash line . Speaking of 70s Maybelline, sometimes I use one light coat of their blue mascara on just my upper lashes, mostly in the other corner. It adds a hint of color around the eye without using liner or eyeshadow. I curl my lashes first. My mom spoke of the coal tar in mascara and she only used the Max Factor cake mascara to tint her blonde lashes. It didn’t thicken them much like the tube mascara does. I’ve also quit toxic hair dye (organic) 4 months ago and my roots are coming in white ! New baby hairs are coming in where the dye damaged, just like what you said about mascara. ❤

If you do care about yourself, look into the ingredients in most cosmetics... They're loaded with syn thetics, tox ins, and other things that can wreak havoc on your health. Endo crine dis ruptors, messing with your hor mones. No wonder most men age way better than women. They don't put all the yucky ingredients on their bodies that go straight into the bloodstream. Our skin is the largest organ of our body. Anything on the skin for 15 seconds, less than half of a minute, gets in the bloodstream. That includes hair dyes, finger nail polish, polish remover, moisturizers and synthetic perfumes. I wish I had known this a long time ago. There are cosmetics out there that are non-toxic. One of them that I've tried and found to like is Red Apple Lipstick, they have very moisturizing lipsticks, their lip glosses, especially the mint ones, are not sticky, just moisturizing. Their Ralleybalm is very moisturizing. Their eyeshadows are non irritating, gluten free and can be applied dry or wet. I use them on eye lids and eyebrows. I personally don't like their eyeliner, it smears on me. But they are a good company, with good return and exchange policies. Made in the U. S. A., T e x a s. Not sitting for months in hot metal boxes on ships from Chi na, who are known to be cru el to their people and their animals and put all kinds of tox ins in things they pro duce and sell. If you sign up on their email list, you automatically get 10 percent off your first purchase. They have two big sales a year, 1 in May and the other during black Friday. You can view them on youtube too. The other non-toxic cosmetic I've tried and liked is Alima Pure. Their mineral powder will last a long time. I still have plenty in the one I ordered 2 years ago. I tried bare minerals, it irritated me, it has bismuth chloride, which is the irritant. Alima Pure does not have bismuth chloride. And looks and feels much better on the skin. You can find your match by going on their site, and they help you find your skin tone. When you order from your skin tone group in the find your match, you get several small containers of colors to try on and find your match, then you can order the bigger size in your match. When I ordered the find your match, they sent a small kabuki brush, that is soft, and I still use it. Had to space some words because it seems to not be posting otherwise.

I’m 67 and I gave up mascara over 10 years ago because my eyelashes became sparse and ended up in clumps. Not a good look! I wore it from 12 years old and really missed it. My eyebrows have ended up the same and I pencil them in but it’s really hard to find a pale enough pencil. I think yours look lovely and subtle and the eyeshadow works a treat!

I'm over 70 and wear eye make-up every day, but have never worn mascara, finding it bitty, spidery and harsh. Instead, I wear powder shadow over and a narrow line of it below, the eyes. This gives an overall soft look to the eyes which mascara would spoil.

I'm almost 65, I've used makeup since I was 12. I use only waterproof mascara, and all you need is baby oil and a cotton pad to remove. I lost most of my eyebrows at 35 due to hypothyroidism. I've read you can put castor oil on your eyebrows too but never tried that. I use Revlon Color stay semi permanent brow ink in the blond color. It lasts a few days and the baby oil removes that also. My skin is so pale I can't imagine not using makeup. I also wear glasses and you can get away with using more makeup. But to each their own I guess. I'm not ready to go gray yet either, I dye my hair blond.

Absolutely agree! Castor oil is a game changer for hair growth and eye health.. at bedtime put it on brows, lashes and also gently rub onto eyelids too. If you try it, be patient…after 3 months I noticed a small change, now at 6 months of use, I almost have my eyebrows back and my lashes are thicker and longer…and I no longer need reading glasses except in very low light. In the same 6 months, my 80+ mother has seen vision improvement and albeit not as much hair growth as me, her eye lids are slightly less wrinkled/hooded so her eyes look much brighter. Buy organic cold-pressed hexane-free castor oil if you can get it.

I just "ran across" your channel and you have a new subscriber. I've always had sparse eyebrows and used to love Maybelline ultra brow (powder) and the powder eyeliner. I think the powder creates a much more natural look, so I use an eye shadow when I can find dark brown, and an eyebrow or eyeliner brush. At over 70 I still wear hard contact lenses as I have an astigmatism, so things that don't require much pressure/aren't likely to flake are best. Pen-like eyeliner is pretty good, and castor oil is great.

@@RebeccaOver60Loved your video- am about the same age and found my eyebrows to be disappearing….just another one of the joys of aging- but sure beats the alternative! 💕 P.S…have been putting castor oil on my brows & lashes for a week now; I think it’s helping. Also put it on some joints that have arthritis and it definitely helps!

It’s funny this should happen to pop up in my feed… I’m 51 and I went through surgical menopause back when I was 34. I’ve noticed some really terrible changes over these past several years, like being diagnosed with osteoarthritis (at 48), osteoporosis and aortic stenosis (at 49). Over the years I’ve noticed considerable thinning of my hair, which is great for my legs and under my arms (I shave so seldom, I love that), but now I’ve lost a lot of my eyebrows as well and recently (the past few months) I’ve noticed my eyelashes are a LOT shorter than they used to be. I don’t wear makeup often, but having little eyebrows and short eyelashes makes my eyes look so old… Yesterday my husband freaked out because I got a base coat for my mascara that cost $30! 😬 I wasn’t happy about that, either, but I hate that my eyes look so old when the rest of me doesn’t just because I have almost no eyebrows and short, stubby lashes. Worse, women my own age don’t understand because they’re just now going through menopause (early stages) and this year I’ll be 17 years post. On the inside, I have the body of a 70 year old, but on the outside I’m still only 51 and look like I’m in my 40s (except my eyes recently) and my mind, on a good day, is 16. Nothing matches up and it feels awful. 😞 So these makeup tips really made me feel a lot better about myself. I’m not alone in this having to draw in my eyebrows thing (which I do as well). I’m going to look into that stick to highlight my brow bone because that really made a huge difference and I’m going to try the castor oil to see if it helps 🤞🏻 I still like my mascara for now, but maybe I’ll take a break and try fake lashes for a bit (it’s hard to wear them with glasses) and let the castor oil do its job. Wish me luck! 😊

Hi! I just came across your channel today and have enjoyed your honesty and personality! I am 75 and have been wearing makeup since I was 15. I have the same problem now with one eyebrow a little lower than the other and work to fix that like you do with the eyebrow pencil. I am a redhead so my brows and lashes were fair to begin with. I in the 60’s I used a little brush that came in a caked brow container. Then later, I started using pencils but still do not like using an auburn pencil that matches my hair. I use blonde or light brown. I have been using the gel for about 4 mos in blonde, however, I like you, , I think the look is too stark and actually appears as dark brown!? 😵‍💫 I also try to just use a mink or ash coloured eyeshadow when I don’t go out anywhere. I always have to wear mascara and so does my sister who is 74. We try out diff brands, but find that most have very little mascara in them and what a rip off! Also, Revlon used to make navy blue and gray eyeliner in the 80’s that are perfect colours for a redhead. Now you can only get brown black ( if you can find it?) and black and carbon black! Thank heavens the cosmetics companies still are producing fair skinned foundation, ivory, nude,etc. I always had a little cats eye liner, but have toned that down considerably.😹 thanks for a nice video today! 👏🏻🧑🏻‍🦰🇨🇦

Hi Marilyn. I'm so glad you liked my video and relate to having lopsided brows. It gets tricky with colors for brows. I use a pencil and a brow powder. I have a gel also but instead of the dabber it comes with I use a mascara brush end and put a little bit on just scrapping the top. It's messy, though and I don't love it. The problem with pencil is that it only colors the skin underneath the brows instead of the brows itself. I used to have my hair colorer dye my brows when she did my hair, but it didn't make a huge difference and didn't last long.

I'm almost 63 and I used mascara almost daily for years. I had nice, long eyelashes when I was younger. I didn't wear makeup for a couple years and went to put on mascara again and it made no difference. My eyelashes are strange now. They poke straight out instead of curling. It doesn't matter how many coats I put on. So I gave it up. I sometimes will use black eyeliner when I feel like doing makeup and i really like the idea of just using eye shadow at the side of your eyes. It looks very nice.
