today I wanted to share with you something a little bit different I

wanted to share with you how I used to do my makeup compared to how I do my

makeup now as a mature woman I know there's a bunch of videos like this out

there already on YouTube but I thought I would just do something kind of fun

today and mix it up a little bit instead of

just putting on my makeup in the same way I always do I wanted to share some

tips and tricks and some things that I am really guilty of but maybe these are

some things that you guys might feel like you're guilty of also these are

things that make us look a little bit older than we want to be if you're not

subscribed to my channel but you would like to be don't forget to look down

below and tap on that subscribe button and if you do like this video I hope

you'll also give it a thumbs up some of these things that I'm going to share

with you today I probably will still continue to do them even though I know

they're probably wrong but because that's what I like and that's what makes

me look happy and that's really all that matters

honestly are they're really rules in makeup you know just put your makeup on

however you want except for the very first step that I'm going to share so

the very first step in your makeup application is also your very last step

in your skincare routine and it should be done every single day of the year

rain or shine even if you're indoors outdoors it doesn't matter but that's

applying a sunscreen this video is not gonna be about specific brands it's just

the product in general so you can use whatever sunscreen you want the problem

with sunscreen that I think a lot of us are doing that could be aging us I see a

lot of people go like this this little amount right here as literally all they

apply to their whole face and then you know they'll rub it on and put little

dots and then they'll say help Brian so Matt you come on out to get a little go

alright I already have a load of sunscreen on by the way so I'm not gonna

put a whole nother amount on if you want to know how much sunscreen I normally

use watch my very last video I'll link it down below and I really quick morning

skincare routine how much sunscreen I apply and then I also do

kind of like a natural everyday makeup local don't get tricked by seeing that

the sunscreen says SPF 50 or SPF 100 or you know I think that you should use at

least an SPF 30 but that little small amount that I just

used on this SPF 50 sunscreen I probably dropped it down to like an SPF 5 I mean

there's just I have no protection if that's all I use

is a little pea-sized on my whole face the second thing that I think many of us

might be doing incorrectly or just making us look a little bit older than

we are is number one using the wrong shade of foundation but not just using

the wrong shade using too heavy of a coverage especially like when I have

blemishes here when you have more mature skin and you're getting wrinkles and

fine lines and you have large pores or hyperpigmentation like what I have

piling on a cake face of foundation actually doesn't make you look younger

and it doesn't hide those imperfections or you know or make me feel better I'm

guilty of this because when I started getting this melasma about 10-15 years

ago I thought okay I have melasma and my face is breaking out I better add three

more layers of foundation to cover it up and honestly it just it looked terrible

but I never realized that some people would say why do you have so much makeup

on but I thought well at least they don't see my hyperpigmentation so this

will be the side of the face that I'm gonna put my makeup on incorrectly or

you know like I said I still do some of these things now but this will be the

side of the face that now I'm not saying this side is like perfect and a makeup

artist would approve I'm just saying for me that's what I personally feel makes

me not look older than I really am if I do my makeup the way I'm gonna do on

this side of my face summer time so I feel like I should use a darker

foundation so I'll use the shade tan on this side of my face and a lot of times

too I don't think it's so much the brand or the product that we need to be

looking for so if you have a foundation maybe you don't even need to go buy the

foundation that you see me using or that

you see another youtuber using maybe you

just need to use less of your foundation to make it look more natural and still

cover the flaws that you don't want others to see okay so I'm just adding a

little extra here like what I used to do because I really want to cover up then I

got to cover my neck too I want to cover these blemishes I mean you can see how

dark this foundation is and sure I could blend it all the way down but this is

just not the right shade for me so I feel like I've got most of my

hyperpigmentation hidden but I still can see these blemishes so I'm going to also

spot conceal over top of these blemishes and make sure that redness is completely

not showing

it's pretty cakey on this side of my face I am just gonna do a natural layer

I still have you know a lot of this hyperpigmentation and acne scar that's

healing here and these are spots that I do want to cover but I'm not going to

pile on the foundation so I have the shade medium and then I have the shade

medium tan but you don't have to go out and buy all different shades of

foundation if you want to just stick with medium or whatever shade you are in

that range and then just buy some color correcting these or shade adjusters

these are by Physicians Formula and you can adjust the shade of your foundation

so if this is too dark I add a little bit of the white if it's too light I can

add a little bit of the dark that's medium and then this is medium tan so

I'm probably just going to mix the two of these and get the perfect color first

I want to blend what we have here because this might be enough for almost

my whole face

now on this side I'm not going I'm just blending it on this side I'm not putting

the foundation all the way up underneath my eye because then when I put on my

concealer it's going to start getting a little bit cakey but on this side I did

put the foundation all the way up underneath my eye so now I have my

layers of foundation and then my layers of concealer so a lot of times it's not

your concealer that's making you have Creasy under eyes it's because you're

putting on maybe too much and again this is something that I have been guilty of

for years so this is the dark cakey side and this is the color that matches my

skin tone the best right now I'm not going to put a second layer of

foundation on I'm going to just spot conceal any areas that need a little bit

more coverage versus piling it all over my face now I want to put a little

concealer underneath my eyes this is one by L'Oreal I do really like this but I'm

really loving the candid concealer by Revlon but I'm trying to use this one up

so on this side I'm going to put the concealer on the way I used to and then

let's just blend that out

and then I just like to add a little bit extra underneath this line here just

kind of blend it in

and then on this side since I am getting older and I already have wrinkles and

fine lines underneath my eyes I have this hollowed out area which you know a

lot of people get filler to fix this but I'm just too chicken for that so I want

to put a little makeup there to help to disguise it a little bit so now I just

kind of put a few little drops but I don't bring it all the way up underneath

my eyes I put them right underneath where that hollowed out area or where

the eye bag is and then same thing I just kind of blend it out and it

eventually works its way up anyways because there's still some on my

blending sponge and then I might apply a little bit more especially in this dark

hollow here and then just a couple little drops underneath and then I'll

just use my finger and then just kind of lightly blend and now I'm just gonna set

my face with some powder and since I used to watch a lot of the younger gals

on YouTube I thought this was the right way for a 46 year old woman to set her

face with powder get a little more to make sure we really set it all under the

eyes really good because we don't want our concealer to crease on this side and

then I just kind of lightly press it on everywhere else just to set that

foundation I never really let this sit and bake like a lot of people did I just

would kind of brush it off right afterwards but still regardless I still

have a thick cakey layer of face powder on which is going to settle in my pores

and it's gonna eventually just kind of make my face look dry and wrinkled out

versus natural and dewy looking so now I do want to set the side to take down

some of the glow and usually I do that at the very end with some different

products I'm gonna tap off any of this excess and then I'm just gonna lightly

dust this on my face one thing I want to do before I ever lightly powder

underneath my eyes I always look in a zoom in mirror and I take my finger and

I might have just accidentally gotten some powder there but I like to take my

finger and kind of make sure that concealer that I just put on is

already Preston because if I don't then I'm just going to be setting the

wrinkled area already so I want to make sure it's not all wrinkled and then I

just kind of lightly powder everything

so next I'm just gonna go ahead and do my blush and highlight and then I'll do

my eyes afterwards so I'm going to use this pretty palette now again you can

use any blush any eyeshadow but this is one that I love and I think right now

it's on like half off sale at skin store I'll link it down below I paid full

price for it but this is by Sigma has a little mirror inside but then it also

has four eyeshadows a blush and a highlighter and I absolutely love this

palette as we're aging we want everything to look lifted not to look

down not to go down now blush is one thing that I know I always wear

incorrectly because I wear a lot of blush and the way I like to wear it I

don't know if it's right or not but I think it looks pretty the way I like to

wear but the way I used to wear it I would always put the blush too far down

on my cheek now I'm not gonna do a contour or anything like that today

because you know a lot of people don't even use a bronzer or contour and I

never used to until maybe a couple years ago but this is where I used to put my

blush I kind of put it right here or I see a lot of people doing it you know

like this or I see a lot of people kind of just putting it right here on the

apple of their cheek and then you know they like to brush it down and then

blend it that way so now I do try to do it on the apples of my cheek but I try

to keep everything lifted and blended so I'll just put a little here and then I

just blend you know very very lightly in little circles and I feel like because

you know look at little kids when they blush when they their cheeks are flushed

they don't get red down here their cheeks are flushed up here so they

always look like that they have those big chubby cheeks that you want to pinch

now I want to put on a little bit of this highlight it's such a pretty

highlight you guys I love it but if you get too heavy-handed

I think it's aging I think a highlighter this is just my opinion I think a

highlighter especially for daytime should just look natural like highlight

where the Sun you know would make your face glow not so much look at your face

and you see a thick white stripe if that's the style that you're going for

again totally do what makes you feel comfortable but in my
