I know not so great makeup is frustrating, BUT for us it’s great to have you walk us through how to salvage a hot mess 😂. Really. This is the video we all needed. What to do when things are not working. How to solve makeup problems when you don’t have time to start all over. Maybe a “HELP!” series? Thank you for sharing your experience with us. ❤

I love your videos but if I want to blend is gonna be interesting to see what time it is what this does to blend anyway this is why we test is things out because you don't want to be spending your money on this if it's not going to be amazing I would expect to stay pigmented but we're gonna just keep working through this I'm adding some more

I’m not even finished watching but I’m CRACKING UP about not being allowed to buy paint looking a mess with the color-failed eyeshadow. Oh Lord, we’ve all been there, and so appreciate your attitude - just make the best of it, learn a lesson and move on. Much love from Hilton Head SC. 💜

Love your videos! Just turned 75 so I appreciate seeing your mom and how you include women our age. Thank you!

I am in my mid seventies, and I seem to spend an inordinant amount of time plucking, shaving, using depilatories, etc. There is less hair where you want it, and waaaaay more where you don't! I'm fighting the good fight tho'!! Every day is an adventure and a blessing!😊

“You’re not allowed to pick out paint looking like that!” Hahahahaha You made my day.

Oh Nikol, I had to spend spend some time this morning laughing with you not at you. We all have moments when we feel we are a hot mess both in our looks and our thoughts. Pretty sure that was your mind set between the new hair remover and under pigmented eyeshadow. As always you just drove right on thru to a beautiful ending. Am so enjoying your faultless honesty and your true life frustrations. We will all trust the process lol

OMG, you are the best! I love how you were so honest about the eye shadow really not being worth the cost, yet you kept your sense of humor and still made it work! This is so relatable and real. ❤

Thank you Nikol for normalizing hair on a woman's face! Been ashamed of mine since decades, and I'm happy that someone isn't and is showing that it's ok if we're in-between two treatments to tone them down / get rid of them, or if a woman doesn't event want to get rid of them at all! Keep doing what you're doing, you're making a positive change in the world. ♥

Thank you, Nikol. Make-up is expensive, and while I don't mind spending a bit for workhorse items that do the job every time, at my age, I am no longer willing to go out and spend on things that just don't work, will frustrate me, and are going to end up in the trash. I'm glad we have you t odd the experimenting so we don't have to.

Loved "It's been a moment, it's been a day!" LOL! Love your products also! Thanks for sharing other products that are not yours too! Have a blessed day on purpose!

I just love watching your channel because, you always make us older women feel better!! You're not a snob or arrogant because you're a model and beautiful!! You're always so nice and explain everything so well!! You get me excited to try new things and because I'm 66 yrs young you make me feel like I don't have to look it!! I can do just a few things and look better than ever!!! I'm saving up to buy alot of your make-up line. I'm disabled so money is tight so I have to save up for things. But, I've got to have some of your BB make-up and I realize I need cream blushes and bronzer like you use, just alil lighter . I'm very pale, my father has that pale Irish skin!! Lol. But, you always arecso sweet an uplifting!!! Thank you so much!!😀

Thank you such a sweet comment! I hope you love my makeup when you receive it 😘😘

First of all I will be 70 in June. And believe or not I like myself and the normal aging, I'm kind of ok with. BUT THE FIGHT WITH THE LIP AND CHIN HAIRS 😂😂😂 you made me feel so much better about myself. "You had me at Hello" to steal a movie line from the past. The struggle is real. Please keep us updated on your laser journey. #2 I haven't used foundation In 12 + years I used Chanel they changed the product, I was devastated. I tried Tarte BB creame and was sold. Beautiful is all I can say about you and your ability to relate to all of us.❤❤❤

I love your honest funny sense of humility, you give my a much needed chuckle, thank you Nikol❣️😊

I love how you try out all these products for us ..saving us time and money… I bought your BB cream and powder and love it. I get compliments with your eyeshadow, I’m using your brushes. I’m 70 and enjoying putting my makeup on every morning. It’s a good day. 😊 Thank You!

Nikol, you have made my morning laughing with you. May I just say it is rather comforting to see the ever calm Nikol having a moment❤️. I am 76 and was so interested in this title today. I am having the same problem with feeling makeup just sits on my skin. Even my favorite LaMer. I have never understood BB products(why aren’t BB creams foundation?) 😊 but recently I am unhappy with all my makeup. I am also an outdoor person very casual life style, but I still want to look put together. It helps that my boyfriend is 60 😱 . So again I will try a BB 😊. Thank you for being you. I love your shorts when you are trying on clothes it is absolutely amazing the outfits you find.

I am 74 and have switched almost exclusively to a BB Cream. I only use traditional foundation for nighttime formal events. So much better!!. Beautiful effect. Try it!

I am amazed in the way you recovered the eye look, you look beautiful!

I started to pass this video , then I realized.... WT🫢 I am 71😂. I love make up and really wear it every day.... Bury me with mascara, blush and lip liner at least💋👍🏼. Thank u Nikol. Love the Videos!

You look amazing, the problem eye shadow really doesn’t show because your skin looks flawless and that’s the attraction.I love using bb cream as I’m 77 and it’s what works best for me. Love your beauty Nikol, thank you for sharing.

I wear very little makeup as a 70 year old with an outdoor lifestyle but I love watching how you put yourself together! Your BB cream looks like a winner for me. Love that you let us see you before and after the transformation, girl!

Thank you for highlighting the Tom Ford perfume sampler! My birthday is next month, and I was looking for a less expensive way to sample Tom Ford's fragrances. Your channel is such a breath of fresh air, and I love your personality so much.

Thank you for saving us the money and the trouble. Forewarned is forearmed. Good job working through the disappointment and less than stellar product.

This was one of your best videos! You just came across as so honest, down to earth and truly interested in your viewers interests. You were looking out for us and I thank you. I am approaching 75 and take serious interest in info you have about mature people and makeup application. I have seen so much information being disseminated about the use of castor oil for skin/hair care. Have you used it or seen it and what are your views? I have been using it for about 6 weeks for skin care and it seems to have improved my skin as far as moisturizing and hiding the crow's feet. Is it my imagination? Thanks for all you do!

Thank you for being so real! Loved seeing you make the sub par eyeshadow palette work for you, and being so open and honest about the product. 💕

Oh my gosh! 😂😂😂 Your running commentary in this video was so funny!!! 🧑‍🍳 💋 Last Monday, I made a huge mess on my face with Chanel’s Claire Obscur palette and I just took it off and started over with The Cabana. And then I got online and ordered Le Bottled Blonde. 🎉🎉🎉 Your eyeshadows have spoiled me. ❤ They are so beautiful, so easy, and so reliable and I know they will turn out perfect every time.

You've no idea how many ''make up'' fails I have come across in my life (74) and there is always a sense of ''will it, won't it'' if I buy a new product...I have come across a beauty cream that comes with it's own mushroom applicator...it's fantastic... love from Scotland 😄🌠

I think this is one of your best videos….you are so real and your humor was greatly appreciated! Thank you for being you! ☺️

Love it when you try different beauty products, whether it’s great or not! I appreciate education. Thank you, Nikol, for all you do to experiment so we older women don’t have to!! Awaiting the lazer result!🌹

I love your annoyance at the eye make up. I relate and actually laughed. You are terrific.

The makeup turned out great, natural yet polished look. Thank you for all the tips.

So refreshing to use a product that Nikol wasn't impressed with. Thanks for the honesty. I bet you have saved a lot of women money. Jacquie. London UK.

I loved how real, down to earth you are and your sense of humor in this video made my day. I've always had difficulty finding the 'right' shade of foundation! So frustrating that I've opted for loose powders, like physicians formula brand. But now, I'm excited to try a BB cream. I'm 74 n my skin is blotchy, im Italian, sallow not olive complexion. Thx you for these helpful/hopeful videos.

Story Time: I bought the Pat McGrath Taylor-Made kit because a red lip lasting for 3+ hours singing, sometimes in rain, without a single smudge is something that can have all my money 😂. It didn’t last through 3 sips of iced tea! L’Oreal Infallible lip crayon 503 is an exact color match and lasted for 24+ hours. I had to use an oil remover AND lip scrub to get it all off. Bonus it’s $4-$5 and available on Amazon.

Really enjoyed this tutorial. I learnd a lot about salvaging a mess. Im slowly converting to all your products because they work best with my sensitive, dried out 81 year old skin. The eye primer, shadows, mascara and brightner are superstars for me.😊

Love! This video Nicole! So authentic and fun! Even a pro like you can be disgruntled and struggle with makeup! Keep on keeping on!

Im 70 and love this look,more that kind of videos.Love from Liisa Sweden ❤

Yes! The BB creme instead of foundation! Works so well! Love it! I don't think it's only for age (I'm in 60s). Before I found your BB creme I used Sisley Teinted moisturizer which is wonderful too. Please note my 35 year old daughter tossed out the foundation (too heavy on HER beautiful skin...young women let your lovely skin show through also.) She now uses Nikol's BB creme and still loves the Sisley teinted moisturizer. Nikol maybe try that product on your channel. Love it too. Thanks so much!!!🎉

Thankyou for being so real and relatable to. You give me hope that I too can age gracefully and feel beautiful as I get older. Much love from Australia ❤️

You are a beauty ❤️ Thank you for your work!

Just love you so much. Thanks for all you do for all of us. ❤

You are always so elegant Nikol. Even if you weren't happy with your eye look, you pulled if off with your confidence and elegant class. I always enjoy your videos. 🤩😍

As always very pleased to feel as an older woman someone is addressing my concerns.

I have bought your bb cream and it is just amazing. I have many expensive foundations but your bb cream is head and shoulders above them, I am so excited to finally find something that is right for me, thankyou

I have the purple Ulike. LOVE IT. I have not had to shave for 2 mo. I am now doing 1 time a month as matenance. Follow the directions. It is so worth the time and effort.

It is comforting to see that you even have a hard time with some eyeshadows. And you are awesome at making makeup doable. I have learned so much from you. I even started buying your line and SO EXCITED that I’m receiving my first purchase today! Plan to buy more from your line. And, not buy Hermes ! Thanks for all you do!

❤🎉 love your updates and testing of products. And your opinions on products. I hope your hair removal isn't a torture device. Can't wait to see the color pink and cream. I know it will be beautiful ❤️

For dry eyes, look into Tyrvaya from your eye doctor. It is a nasal spray, but it will allow your eyes and lacrimal glands to express tears. Drops are ok too, but Tyrvaya is soooooooo worth it!! You can get it from your eye Dr. I use it 2x a day. It's a prescription. It will help your eyes all day. I rarely need drops anymore. Just a suggestion for you to help you... ❤❤❤❤

Omg. I am cracking up. You are hysterical today. I totally love it. 😀

Great video- entertaining and informative- perfect combination. Thank You and have a great day!

I loved your honesty and I did learn technique!! You look so beautiful!

You are terrific. Thank you for being you.

I purchased the ulike several months ago & I love that it doesn't hurt. It actually has a cold sensation when it touches your skin, results have been great. I do not use the glasses. I used another brand (TriaBeauty), it worked, but was too painful. My daughter & I share it, she would never have used it, if it was painful, she is also getting great results especially on her legs, the regrowth is no longer at 5 o'clock the same day, Lol. The texture of the hair on her legs is softer since using the ulike. Hope you enjoy yours, "Happy Zapping"

I love you and your style! I'm happy to have found your channel because I worked for 50 years in surgery. (hidden behind the scene, no make up and wearing t-shirts and shorts to work.) Now I'm retired and love dressing just to go out anywhere. And my husband likes it too. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world (ME).

I love your energy and you’re cracking me up too simple straight facts from you. .

Your BB cream is fabulous. I'll make two suggestions: a line under your eye, either in the waterline or under your lowerclasline, will drag your eyes down. The other thing that I said OH NO to, was the eyeshadow quad. Dark brown eyes an blue shadow has never been a great combo. It makes your eyes look so tired. Take care.

You say what I think. Lol. Best video Nikol, I have so many eye shadow pallets and different foundations I could open up a cosmetic shop. Hahaha.Thanks so much for doing this video , love love your honesty. Love your beauty brushes there awesome . Much love girl ❤🎉

Love watching your videos!! Im 80 and use very little makeup.. I would like to get something very light, to help even out my complexion . After your suggestion today , i believe I will try the Bb creme light!! I will have to use a Drugstore brand. Im from a very small town in Missouri.. I may be getting older, but do want to look my best.. Thanks , for giving us information on what to use and how to use products!!!

I have extreme dry eye too. I was taking fish oil for it and it was helping a lot. I was told by my GI Dr to STOP taking fish oil because it was thinning my blood too much. Now I just put a thin layer of castor oil on my eye lids and under my eyes about 2 hrs before bed. It seems to help. Thanks for the tip on Lumify. I was using that too. Ughhh!

Hi, I just found your video, and I loved it. Thank you for sharing.

I put on makeup to go to home improvement and paint stores. They're full of cute men! 🤣🤣 I switched to a tinted moisturizer around age 45, because foundation just didn't work for me anymore. I recently discovered bronze drops, and I add a few drops to it to give me a sunny "glow" for Spring and Summer. Always happy to see your videos! ❤️⚡

Looks wonderful! I'm gonna try it!

Fantastic content!

I have always loved the BB cremes - but I do a 1-1 combo of my foundation plus bb and mash them together before applying... it's kind of the best of both worlds...btw - I am 60 - have been doing this since my 50s --- and recently I just tried each one separately just to remind myself that the combo approach is really the best for me... bb tends to be too light - foundation too heavy --- but the 1-1 mash up is perfect!!!

I love seeing you and your mom together. She is beautiful. You really brought out her lovely eyes and lips. I'm 71 and fair skined with white/gray hair cool toned skin and think the same colors/products would be perfect for me.
