Drugstore Makeup for Older Women

Hello, thanks for stopping by. Many of you asked me to do a simple

makeup

application using

drugstore

brands, so let's go. I achieved this look using inexpensive

makeup

. This little makeup kit I bought only cost $80. You could probably do a lot. better also if you use coupons this is all the makeup on board for this video there is Maybelline Rimmel L'Oreal and more this video is not sponsored so I went out and bought all this makeup so I can make this video for you this is Maybelline fit my foundation I tried a few different foundations last month and decided to use this one.

The color is classic ivory. I like to start in the areas that need the most coverage and expand from there if you don't like it or need as much coverage. You can mix this foundation 50/50 with your favorite moisturizer for a more natural look. I already applied my moisturizer, my eye cream and since I am going to do this in a simple and quick way, I skip the foundation, which I don't like either. Anyway, there are many layers to my skin. These makeup brushes number 106 for my line of use. The Lu makeup brushes that I designed myself.

I'm using a combination of my fingers and my brush. You should use what is easiest for you. Sponges are great, but they absorb a lot. Product I like that this foundation doesn't settle into my wrinkles, it covers minor imperfections, it looks natural and the colors are great. A big thumbs up for this base. I think this concealer also suits me from Maybelline in shader number 15. Now I like it. This is not too thick or dry which can really accentuate wrinkles around the eye, apply it with the applicator and then tap to blend it with your ring finger because we are working on a budget here.

I'm not going to use an eyelid primer. instead, I'm going to use the concealer as a base. In my opinion, it's actually better for mature skin because many lid primers are a bit thick and can accentuate the crepey texture of

older

skin. Now, the next item is not a

drugstore

brand. It's one of my old favorites, a go-to pro and for only seven bucks, it's been a set of nine neutrals, it's a colorless powder that doesn't change the color of the makeup underneath, goes on very light and doesn't build up in wrinkles. I'm using a little everywhere, especially on the areas where you'll later apply eyeshadow, bronzer, and blush.

I'm going to warm up my skin with Rimmel's natural bronzer in Sun Bronze using brush number 102. I've been using this product. for a long time and I love it, it doesn't shine and won't give you that weird orange look. You can use it to contour and have a good weekend. Please note that I am mainly applying it around the perimeter of my face and using it to accentuate my bone structure like you would with a contour. I love this blush from L'Oreal, the color is pink, it highlights the apples of your cheeks and applies a light twisting motion.

One of the differences between expensive and drugstore makeup brands is that there is less pigment in the cheaper brands (that's not always a bad thing, especially if you're the type of person who can go overboard with blush, sometimes blush less Pigmented and eyeshadow are easier to apply without making a mess, so next come the brows. I brush my eyebrows instead. I've done a couple of eyebrow videos so I'm not going to go into too much detail here, but check out my other eyebrow videos if you must. I'm using a 1 1/8 brush Here for my signature line of makeup brushes I'm using my NYX brow gel in color 0-1, it's blonde but nice and ashy so it works with my hair color.

Well sometimes this product dries out, if that happens just dampen the brush with a little rubbing alcohol and it should help it apply smoothly. I like to keep a little bit of this little disposable mascara on hand to help blend my brows in the Maybelline Rufus eyeshadow, it's called expert use and the palettes are called natural smokes using the number one one zero brush. I will raise two thirds of the eyelid with the medium shade. I'll start at the lash line, that's when you have the most product on the brush, it keeps it a little intense around the lash line that way.

I keep most of the color on the outer half of my eyelid and I'm going to shave this hooded area as well. Anything darker than your skin tone will sink that area. The powder I applied earlier on my eyelid is really helping me. Now blend now using my smallest 101:3 brush from my Signature Series. I'm going to apply again right on my lash line and also on my contour. You may have seen me use this knitting trick in my other videos. It really prevents eyeshadow from falling on your face. I'm actually faking a contour because I don't really have one.

I have squinty eyes and I find this really helps open them. This is one of my favorite brushes. It's number one zero one for my firm. series is big and fluffy and will really help you blend like a pro. I'm accentuating my brow bone with the lightest shade in the palette. This is really opening my eyes. If you like a little eyeliner under your eye, you can use the medium. two tone eyeshadow on an eyeliner brush and that will keep it nice and soft. You can even use the darker color underneath if you want a little more drama.

Rimmel is a brand I know well because I grew up in England. This eyeliner is one of my favorites. Mine, at any price, is the over-the-top eyeliner and the blackest black. Don't let eyeliner make you nervous. You can just put it around your lash line and blend a little with its own blender or use your finger. This is dense, very dark and has a soft and pleasant texture, once it is dry it does not stain. I'll give my eyelashes a little curl. I like to bend them in a couple different places on my lashes so that my lashes don't have a weird L shape from the side if you know what I mean about my mascara.

I'm wearing L'Oreal voluminous in charcoal black. If you like a black brown or brown that's fine, just use what you think looks best and make sure your brush isn't overloaded. I don't like clumps. I like to comb out clumps with a disposable mascara applicator. I'm going to use a NYX lip liner. This is, wait for it, it glides on and stays on and definitely a waterproof extreme color lip liner. I'm not kidding. that's what it's called the color is nude suede shoes I found some great lip colors but I felt like this was the winner today it's the L'Oreal color riche lip color the color is sugar plum it's very comfortable to wear and I'm going to wear it straight from the tube, not with a brush.

I think a brush is only necessary if you are using a strong color that needs precision. This is what my drugstore brand makeover looks like. What do you think if you liked this video? Please give it a thumbs up and don't forget to subscribe bye
