YouTube make up tutorials

[TheDogsMother]

Hi all. I am stuck in a make up rut and would like to learn how to do it a bit better/more fashionably. Can anyone suggest particular tutorials to look for on YouTube ? I'm in my 50s if there are any that focus on more mature types

[ThanksForAllTheFish]

I think Wayne Goss does some very good make up tutorials. He does a lot of short videos on specific things - eg: hooded eyes and some longer full face ones too. He’s to the point and doesn’t appear to do sponsorships etc so I feel he’s a bit more honest than a lot of beauty you tubers are. He does have his own brush range but doesn’t really push it or mention them every video which is also refreshing.

I am going to Charlotte Tilbury in London for a makeover but these can be a bit hit and miss in terms of the final look. Which is why I need to learn my own. Thanks everyone for all the links and advice. I know what I'll be doing this weekend

...chunk of the keep pile... obviously

[XingMing]

Alysen Walsh, who blogs as That's Not My Age, has occasional contributions from Vicci Bentley, formerly beauty editor on a big magazine. The most recent featured a clear out of a lifetime's cosmetics, and what she kept... Ariana Poole represented quite a chuck of the keep pile. If I were near London, I'd pop in for a look.

Ariane Poole does make-up tutorials for the more mature and prefers to do a more natural "best you" look. Has her own make-up line too

I will definitively check that out Xing, it sounds like a tutorial I need to watch. I am the bride but it's a low key daytime event so daytime makeup is perfect.

@TheDogsMother, Lisa Eldridge did a MOB make up lesson that I thought transformed a pleasant-faced 50-year-old lady into a real star. It was probably too time-consuming for everyday wear, but the goal was a face that would last all day, surviving tears and embraces, with no more attention than a lipstick re-touch each time she needed the loo.

Withlotsoflove thanks, i will take a look.

[withlotsoflove]

@lindyloo57 try Melissa55
She looks amazing at 64: no work at all.
Just Retin A vit C etc..,

For a really glam look you can also try Risa Does Makeup (though you do have to get past a rather grating voice). I’m sure she’s had work done though - she has said she has breast implants so why wouldn’t she have work done on her face? But she has some good tips for hooded eyes, as do Angie and Dominique.

[TheDogsMother]

That's good to know Xing. I really need to sort this out for a wedding.

[XingMing]

Well, I've just spent hours watching make up tutorials for mature ladies while waiting for deliveries! I don't think it will have been totally wasted either. Loving Lisa Eldridge.

[lindyloo57]

I am looking for a mature blogger to follow for makeup and fashion who hasn't had any work done on their faces, this so hard, I love watching angie hot and flashy, sugar puff and fluff, and some others but they all have botox, fillers, I want to only follow bloggers who are natural, do anyone know of some I can follow.

I really rate Suzie O'Neil/ AYU make up, full make up but natural and no Panda eyes and highlighter on noses!

[SinglePringle]

Some of us were born with hooded eyes!

[TheDogsMother]

Hooded eyes, arrgghhh ! Not quite there yet but I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

Good point about learning how the make-up artists do things so I will take a look at these. I am after a natural look though have an event coming up which may call for a smoky eye or maybe even two

[LidlDonkey]

Do they?

[BlushRosePink]

On the recommendation of this thread I followed the advice of Caroline Barnes Hooded Eyes clip and it really works. Thank you.

She’s still worth watching - the benefit of watching an actual make up artist (as opposed to people who aren’t trained, just doing their own looks) is that they have the skills and knowledge that are transferable to whatever look they’re doing, and they know how to tailor their make up to the woman who is having it done. She does plenty of natural/subtle looks.

Hannah Martin is my favourite, though. Lots and lots of different tutorials for different looks.

Also like Kim Soane:

I don't like the way Lisa Eldridge does her own makeup so not sure about watching her videos. Is there anyone who can do a full makeup look, but natural colours?

[SinglePringle]

All the above and PixiWoo. Although you’re more likely to find them on their 2 Instagram sites these days (Sam Chapman and Nicki Chapman).

Lisa Eldridge

Yes if you’re not sure of skin undertone then definitely get advice on that from a make up counter. If you know whether you’re warm or cool toned then you can just watch tutorials that apply to you.

[TheDogsMother]

Winter good call about the colouring. Aside from the 'mature' I think my green eyes are a redeeming feature so I'd like to make something of them.

[winterisstillcoming]

Pick someone who has the same skin tone/hair colour as you. Then just copy. At first, you'll be tempted to buy everything they tell you to so be careful. Use what you've got to create the look and see how you go. Also, Mac and Bobbi brown will let you book a makeup lesson and the price of is redeemable for product. I saw the bb foundation on a YouTube video and went and had the lesson. So happy with it and saved a fortune experimenting.
I then did a smokey eye tutorial at Mac which was good too.
