Make up tutorial recommendations for 40+

Please could I have some recommendations for online tutorials for around 40+ please, as I feel I'm stuck in a make up rut and would like some inspiration.

I'd particularly also like tutorials where the person doesn't have a long long list of make up needed or they're mainly selling their own makeup.

Lisa Eldridge.

I am in the same boat and have started practicing her videos. I'm not that good at it but it does feel more age appropriate.
She uses lots of different brands.
I treated myself to her foundation (Space NK shop near me) and I really like it.

Thanks so much @Beebopwasthebest I'll have a good look through her videos later and decide where to start!

I've paired my make up right back. A good SPF moisturiser, tinted moisturiser instead of my previous foundation, mascara, eye liner and a cheek balm (I use revolution but Jones road do one too).

Andreea Ali has some good ones on YouTube too.

Another vote for Lisa Eldridge, she really does know her stuff and her videos are great- I finally had the courage to try a red lipstick in my 40s after her amazing tutorial!

Definitely Lisa Eldridge. Her videos are addictive!

During lockdown I discovered Ayu, an Irish brand & their wonderful founder Suzie. Lots of lovely products, excellent customer service & fantastic tutorials on Insta, Facebook & You tube. Enjoy.

Love the Lisa Eldridge video where she does Joanne Scanlon's makeup!

I was coming to say Lisa too.
I followed one of her makeup tutorials on my 60+ year old mum for my brother's wedding (albeit 10 years ago now) and she looked amazing and got so many compliments.

Also check out Erica Taylor on insta.
shes very good and also very entertaining. I enjoyed her description of incorrect blusher placement as “Falcon Crest” 😂
