Getting old is the goal. What's frustrating about this, is the younger generations will accuse the older generations of looking old and telling them to embrace the modern trends to look younger, but if they do, they're called cringe or an embarrassment. Ignore trends, embrace your own style, make yourself happy.

Yes, my middle school students tease me when I wear something bright or bold, or if I’ve practically bathed in glitter, that it looks bad, or they don’t like it. I use it as an opportunity to teach them that my makeup choices are about pleasing myself, not others, and that they’ll face such decisions as they grow up, too.

the literal only reason "fashion trends" exist is so companies can sell you product. same goes for "beauty standards". being content in ourselves & what we already own is antithetical to capitalism. anyway, on a lighter note, eyeshadow will always be my fave part of my makeup routine because it's the only part where you can actually be creative (in the pedestrian sense, i know you can push the boundaries of makeup in all aspects but that sort of goes into editorial or avant garde territory which the average person isn't into)

@@romanyhosier9133 first of all thank you for introducing me to something new, I've never heard of leblouh before! But to the point, historically it was a means of controlling women. Almost every invention you can think of in regards to women (high heels for example!) were by of a man and rarely for our benefit. Of course over time that's become less and less of a thing, with women wearing high heels simply because they want to as a fashion choice, or make up for just for the pure artistry of it, but on the flip side there's still that residual pressure some still feel that that they "always have to be presentable" aka their naked face or flat shoes is unacceptable somehow. As for feet binding and other cultural practices, it's still happening but on a lesser scale with each passing year

I think the hang-up with age is that we don't want to look older than we are. I am a nurse and I see this all the time. I will see someone who is 80 that doesn't look a day over 50, then I will see someone who is 45, who looks like they are 90. Looking your age is so subjective to how you actually lived your life. It really shows if it has been hard. That is what I think people don't want to happen.

I am 67 and will be 68 this year!🖒😁 This talk coming from people who did not even exist in the 60's make me laugh! Flared pants aka bell bottoms were around in the 60's. I hate to tell the tictoc babies but all these new fashion and makeup trends are not new! Ladies in their 60's laugh every time a new trend arrives.😅😂 It is not new!!! Nothing is new anymore! I love makeup and I really enjoy your channel. You are as old as you feel!😅 I was a fashion person and I never wanted to look like everybody else! I was always different. When you are happy from the inside you appear young! Colorful makeup done well is beautiful! Being confident in the way you look makes you look young. My grandmother, who past at 96 told me "You do You " and ignore everyone who doesn't like it! Angelica you Rock!!!😄😅💚🖒

"I am at the age where I don't care" is literally what I thought when I heard "eyeshadow is out/ for old people". I agreed so much with this video!!

“I am in the age when I don’t care.” Iconic.

PLEASE make this a sticker and/or a hoodie/shirt: “We just don’t care” with the colorful eyeshadow eye. You are spot on with your analysis of why this happens. When you see someone with 80’s hair (aka big) it’s because that’s when they felt the prettiest. It’s what they like. It makes them happy.

I wore skinnies in the nineties. And I am still wearing my skinny jeans now. I also am wearing whatever I like and have worn certain trends that I would not wear again. I just wear what looks good on my body and what feels right for me in the moment. If I don't feel very happy I will not wear very colourful clothes and dresses. If I feel more feminine I will dress more feminine.

I am much less interested in what is 'in style' as opposed to what 'looks good' on me. I rock skinny jeans, and they are NOT leaving my active wear rotation, period. There is something to be said about dressing for your shape vs for style. I also love bold eye shadow, and I will be 50 later this year. I get both compliments and strange looks on a daily basis. I just choose to pay attention to the compliments only. Everyone's option doesn't really matter, I dress/do makeup for me. This is the only 'artistic' thing I can do and I LOVE IT!!! Why should I care what others think?

My mother once said “that’s what you’re wearing?” And I said yes, she said “you’re a mom” I said so? And she was flabbergasted that me being a mom doesn’t change who I am and what I wear lol.

Customers call in looking for me by saying "that tall girl with the pink hair and all the makeup" lmao I love it and I feel beautiful in bold eye looks ❤

I just turned 60 and I’m starting to feel invisible! It’s a weird feeling. And makeup helps me in my own head to feel seen. I don’t do anything over the top, but I like being known as the lady who has glittery eyes.

Love your attitude girl.I'm 70 and will never stop using make up that I like and suits me. Skincare is the most important thing as we age xx

Ive been asked many times why i don't dye my hair. I'm 36 with quite a bit of grey hair and I love my greys. They remind me of all the tough things ive gone through and came out ontop of. I love seeing smile lines. Why would you not want hours of laughter and happyness to be visible on your face?! This "no emote", preventative botox, filler at 20 stuff is scary. I genuinely worry for the mental health of people that try to upkeep such an image...

I lost my mom when she was 43. I was 21 when she passed. Aging is a privilege. My mom would have been 69 next month.

Hear hear 👏🏼 absolutely right. I'm 58 and I have realised that from when I turned 40 I've been living my best life! I learned to be ok with what I like and ignore naysayers (my own mum included!) Love this one 💞💞

This has got to be my favorite video so far this month 💕. As a woman who is now 42 I've come to a point in my life where I'm fully accepting and embracing my true authentic self. I've had my phases of following trends, trying to keep up with the other girls. I've had my phases of "not being like the other girls". And after all my trips around the sun I've realized that I'm the creator of my own happiness. And honestly I'm kinda wanting my makeup to represent that mentality and not the latest trends. ❤ And I have no doubt that these young individuals will get there too, in about 20 years or so 😊

Since I turned fifty, Angie, my motto when I want to do something that society deems me too old to do is, "if not now, when?" 😂 Love your dress! 😍

My thing is I wear glasses for distance which makes my eyes look tiny... eyeshadow makes them look bigger. Same with the whole middle part trend. Listen hun, if you have perfectly symmetrical features have fun, but I don't and I like my side part tyvm. 😂

My mother is in her 50s and she loooves to wear sparkly black eyeshadow whenever she can! ❤ Maybe it's weird, but I personally can't wait to age. I'm more than halfway through my 20s and they've been the worst time of my life. Not gonna drop my colourful makeup anytime soon lol

EYESHADOW is NEVER OUT! 🙌

I think sometimes people struggle to develop their own personal style and voice, which can help them ride the waves of fashion and makeup changes. You can adopt what you like of the new and let the rest go. But it’s hard. And I think figuring out how to shift your makeup needs as you age can be a struggle. We all want an easy answer. But I like color as well, especially those great indie eyeshadows❤

I'm in my early 30's and it's the first time when I'm in the position where something that was super trendy when I was a teen is super trendy again. I totally agree that you stop caring when you see it happen and the older you get, the less you care. Wear what you like, makeup and clothing! I also find this obsession with age and looking younger so weird, it has always happened to celebrities but suddenly it's starting to happen to non-celebs. The implication that you need to look 20 to look good is so weird and toxic. Thankfully it's not as bad offline, at least in Europe. I wear makeup to express myself, I'll be a happy clown at any age! My 20's were fun but my 30's are MUCH better.

I’m 25 so I’m still young but I will never give up eyeshadow. It’s my favorite part of my makeup routine and I understand trends come and go but at the same time people should let others do what they want to do without feeling like they need to criticize.

Yes! Such a fantastic message. Not everybody gets the privilege of aging. Do and wear what you love! ❤

as a 23 almost 24yo, i've never cared about trends, i just focus on what i feel good in. i adore the look you ended up with!❤

I gotta say I really like gen z's version of straight leg and boot cut pants more than what we had in the early-mid 2000s. Great improvements 😂

I realized in my 30s what a blessing it is to not worry about bullies and judgemental people. There are still some like that, who never matured, but overall people are so chill about being themselves. My teen years and twenties were a struggle and I wish I could go back and tell myself to stop giving a sh. And when I look at the younger generations I feel bad for how much they judge each other and themselves, gen alpha seem soooo cruel to each other. Oh yeah I sound really old right now haha.

This is a great message, thank you. My dad died at 59, my mom at 62. I’m about to turn 63. I’m happy to be alive and I LOVE color as well. ❤

I graduated from HS in 1990.., I still have my Dr Martins, and I’ve saved one pair of jeans and every now and again, I try them on to see if they still fit! Everytime the style comes back, I wear them.. I found some never been worn Birkenstocks in my mom’s closet with the receipt in the box from the 90s! I couldn’t believe my mom had them bc I didn’t even know they were around back then!

"were society tries to silence you" exactly

I've been struggling with depression for a while. Eyeshadow is one of those little things (and if you struggle with your mental health you know how important those are) that help me to keep on going. So yes, I'm wearing eyeshadow, I don't care it's out of fashion.

Angie you definitely have a point! Growing up, I was told little is always best when it comes to makeup and especially eyeshadow with colors….. I was ALWAYS scared to try color and I’m 28 and I’m finally getting comfortable with playing with colors. No way in hell am I letting some arbitrary social beauty standard ruin something I’m finically learning to love.

Thank you for being you and shouting this from the rooftops! Aging is a privilege. Life is meant to be lived. I’m not a museum doll frozen in time - I feel like my personality and joy is what makes me “younger.”

I am also an 84 baby and I absolutely love makeup and colorful eyeshadow looks! I did go through a short phase where I wasn't wearing much and doing more of a minimal look, but I have rediscovered my love of all things colorful, especially eyeshadows! And, I am also of the age where I also don't care what anyone thinks, Long Live colorful eyeshadow! I love your Channel and you have definitely had a hand in my rediscovery of all my colorful palettes and lots of new ones I have now added to my collection! ❤🎉

when you get older you don't care too much re trends and just wear what you like regardless. i love doing that!!

I feel better at 58 than ever. And I will continue to wear makeup 💄 because I love it and I could care a less if others don't feel we should wear it.

You are so authentic and I love your commentary videos 🧡💛🧡💛

Awh thank you!

Getting older is freeing in a lot of ways. I wear what I like and ignore trends. People are constantly shocked when they find out I'm 45, but I'm not really trying to look younger than I am. I take care of my skin, wear the makeup I like, and have the same hairstyle I've had since 1996. In the 2010s, I didn't do the thick foundation and cut crease looks. Now that the look is much more minimal, I guess I fit in more -- except for the eye shadow of course😂

I am super happy wide jeans are back, I missed them! I just wish we could always find whatever kind of look that suits us, not what is trending.

I’m 58 and don’t care what others think of my style. I love eyeshadow.

The green eyeshadow is spectacular!😍 I look forward to being a colorful clown in all my gothic clothing on the dance floor not having a care in the world what anyone else thinks. Hooray for getting older and better at this thing we call life. 😃😄

I'm 36, Goth for 23 years and I think the "clean girl" makeup looks boring. I like bold dark makeup. Still wear it everyday!

It’s very boring. Sometimes I want to look like I’m wearing the makeup

Yes! Thank you for this! I'm a GenXer and I feel like my generation rebelled against this 'you're too young/too old for X look" thing. I grew up with my mom always telling me I couldn't look how I wanted because I was too young, only to be told when I was 30, that I was too old for the same damn things. Like a look is only appropriate at 25? Do what you want, for heaven's sake! Live your life, be happy and mind your own damn business. Once you stop worrying about what everyone is thinking or doing, life is easier.

Im also at the age of not caring. I enjoy it and its my time that I treasure. At 43, i have that right.

I love that!! "eyeshadow is fun" and I absolutely love putting it on... I am in my 40's and will keep doing it till it comes back in style.

And still wearing brown lipstick.

I’m nearly 50 and I’m proud of it! I wear eyeshadow, full face of makeup to work and spend time early hrs of the day getting ready for my shift work job at the airport. I don’t care what anyone thinks of me! I’m a mother and grandmother who has a fantastic relationship with my daughter and son and regularly get invited to go out with her friends! If people don’t like it, don’t look at me! Simple!! The whole fashion industry changes so much and continues to comeback around all the time! It’s what happens! You’re right about that! I’m not decluttering anything.

Gen Z/Young people are so afraid of getting older and will mock people in their late 20s and 30s for no reason. I think they'll get a mental breakdown when they reach that age.
