Thank you for not completely exaggerating the mistakes for comedic effect. It doesn’t help to show someone a “mistake” that no one would ever make. This is so much more helpful.
OMG! I’m so happy I found you. I’ve have gone from influencer to influencer hoping to LEARN techniques. Although they tell you what to do, you actually explain why. Eye shadows (to me) are so daunting. I never know which brush to use, so I would take a screen shot of someone and blow it up. This is the first time I’ve seen anyone show the difference between application of two brushes. Makes total sense. Even how you explained applying your foundation and concealer was amazing. I have never used foundation because I’m too scared. I think I’ll try it after watching your Elf video. If you haven’t, please do a similar video on applying eye shadows. Love the two videos I’ve watched so far…..SUBSCRIBED❣️
Thank you Lisa. I make a couple of mistakes, not using a transition shade and applying eye liner to thickly at times. Will try to modify these established habits. I’m 62 and still love makeup. Never too late to learn more things. ❤️
Yes, I used to make most of these mistakes, and I agree l that the eye shadows look harsh and extreme on the eyes. This is the reason why I appreciate your channel because I have learned how to apply and combine different shadows and still looking natural and effortless. Since I started following your channel I have learned a lot about how to apply complexion products and other tips and tricks which have helped to improve the quality of my makeup 💄. Thank you Lisa! You are a star ⭐️
I'm glad you taught about the brow bone highlight. I have made the mistake of using a too frosty shade many times. I always wondered why my darker color seems to migrate to it and change it. For now on I will try one of my Hourglass powders and see how that works! Thanks for the lessons!!
2 products for me for eyes are the Charlotte Tilbury Classic liner. It is blendable & it stays on. The brown and the brown shimmer are fabulous. A product that was a life changer was Mac’s Radiant Rose. For my coloring a little of that performs miracles for my under eye. I use a tiny bit before my concealer. At one point I thought they were discontinuing it, but it is back. I have never found anything to replace that lovely cool toned pink.
Great tips!!! I have started to apply eyeshadow to my lash line instead of eye liner. However, I’m not giving up lining my inner rim with dark liner🤣🤣 Your passion and enthusiasm always comes through ❤️❤️❤️
Great video! I am a math person, not creative at all. I need videos like this to break things down for me and explain how and why something is done. I think you could do even more in depth videos on just one step. Like just a video on lining lower lashes that included explanation of products (waterproof, gel, pencil, etc) colors and exact product examples that you recommend. Happy New Year!
These are excellent tips! You really are an awesome teacher. Oh I've been guilty of harsh eyelooks & it seems to accentuate my hoods. Love your hair ! I'm thankful that you are here !
Thank you Lisa, I agree with all of these mistakes and I have been guilty of a few of these although I can tell it’s too stark. These were great reminders.
Thank you!! I was guilty with the black liner under my eyes until this year and learning from all of you amazing RU-vidrs!! I have thick eyebrows so I don't fill them in or else they look like catapillers 😂
I love your tutorial videos! I've learned so much from you about doing my makeup differently in my 50s vs. in my 20s, and 30s! I agree about using black eyeliner. I've personally never been a fan of it, because I have blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. It has always looked too harsh when I've tried it, so I mostly stick with browns, and navys. Also, going to try using the more matte shadow under the brow bone. It's been so engrained to use a shimmer shadow there, that I keep forgetting to use a more matte shade. Thanks for all that you do to help keep us feeling beautiful!
Hi Lisa, I'm in my late 50s, and I've made all but the waterline mistakes. I still have a tendency to overdo my eyebrows. I absolutely love your videos. They're some of the most helpful. I finally ordered from your website. Angie's set of brushes was delivered today. I'm so excited to use them! Thank you for sharing your tips!!
Great video, Lisa. I don't put on any eyeshadow unless I've applied primer. I think you need to do a part 3!! Wishing you a wonderful 2022!! Blessings, and love...MaryEllen
I really hope more and more people find your channel. Not only you are kind, fun and lovely (and gorgeous!), but I keep learning no matter how many of your videos I see. Your beautiful energy trespasses the camera! Thank you dear 💕
Truly appreciated this video. I have extremely hooded eyes & am happy for any tips to keep the eye looking open. My favorite tips from you are when you teach us about how to use brushes. I was surprised at how different the same eyeshadow went on depending on how compact or fluffy the brush was. Thanks, Lisa ❤
I’m glad you addressed eyeliner problems! I see so many people wearing eyeliner in an unflattering way. For example, the only eye makeup they wear is harsh liner on the lower lash line.
Guilty of a few but your tip about doing the crease in a color close to your natural color I have been doing, and I must say it does make a difference. Of course I learned this from you! I have heard the eyebrows are sisters and aren’t the same which I find amusing. I always learn something from your tips! Thanks 😊
Hi Lisa… Thanks for this video. After watching one of your previous videos using the Charlotte Tilbury amber eye crayon, I use the BK Beauty smudge brush to smudge this out on my lower lash line. It looks very natural and beautiful! Thanks for the tip! I will try the Milk eye primer…also love the Mac paint pots! Happy New Year!
Thank you for sharing these great tips, Lisa. I thoroughly enjoy these types of videos and I learn so much. I really like your last tip about using the fluffy brush with a shimmery color to defuse the color. Wishing you and your family a very healthy and happy 2022!🎆🎊
This was so helpful! I was definitely making the mistake of putting too dark of a color in my crease. I just assumed that I don’t like how dark eyeshadow looks on me haha. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Thank you for that little trick at the end. I never thought of changing my brush out. I’m not a fan of shimmer under my brow at all & at times I get caught with the lightest color in a palette being a shimmer. Great tip! HAPPY NEW YEAR and God Bless to your & your family.
I have learned from some beauty YT channels that we should NOT be lining the lower inner rims at all! It is apparently bad for our eyes and can clog tear ducts.
Great tips in both of these videos! It's really great to see some videos that are just helpful and don't make me feel like I need to buy any other products. So many videos these days feel like adverts, but these that you've done are exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you :)
I have deep set eyes & highlighting my brow bone only makes my eyes look even MORE deep set 😬 so I’ve been skipping the brow bone highlight for many years now. It can look VERY pretty using the methods you described on many women & REALLY wish I could pull it off but instead, I replace it w/a couple of other techniques that work a bit better for my eyes.👍
I agree! The hooded eye set was a huge game changer for me, and I love Angie's set, too! I now have mostly all BK Beauty brushes in my arsenal. They've made such a difference.
I agree with the black eyeliner! I see so many women I know only use black eyeliner. I’m not sure why women are afraid to try other colors - I would add that to your mistake list, only ever using black eyeliner. I have learned so many tricks and tips from you Lisa and feel my makeup looks better now at 53 than it ever did when I was younger. I cringe at my makeup looks before RU-vid.
I liked this video. I definitely have committed these 'sins' lol but stopped wearing liner on the bottom for day to day. I used to be hesitant to try and do a real eyeshadow look because I didn't know how. I have learned a lot watching you. Love your brushes also. Thanks, Lisa!
I’m so happy I started watching your channel. Your videos are so helpful and easy to follow. I’m so impressed with you. Your personality and how sincere you are. What an inspiration to women of all ages!
Lisa these tips were awesome! Especially the comparison of the 2 different brushes under the brow- wow. I feel like I know a lot of these tips from following you for years but still……you rock🥰 Happy New Year🍾🥂🥳💕 Xo Tammy 🇨🇦
To me, black liner on the lower lashline is extremely aging. Too much. I personally don't line my lower lashline. Fabulous advice on the eyebrows. I do mine exactly as you. Brow pencil, followed by gel. Fabulous tips as usual, Lisa. So practical, and many are overlooked. I normally don't highlight my brow bone. For me, as I age, less is best. Thank you for your incredible content throughout the year, and for being a dear friend. Wishing you, Paul, Brooklyn, and Kate, a very Happy and Healthy New Year. ❤❤🎊🎉🍾🥂🥳
Thank you Lisa for all the wonderful tips to make us look beautiful. Love all your great videos. Hope you & your family have a bright and sparkling New Year 🎉🥂🍾🥳🎇🌟🌻
I have big round eyes, so I could get away with a dark lower inner rim, but I do still prefer a flesh tone, unless I’m doing a dramatic evening look. Great tips!
I agree with you 100%. Black liner IS harsh. Also too dark any color in the lower lash line definitely makes eyes small. I am lucky to have long lashes so didn’t get into eyeliner until I was in my late 40s and always thin, in shades of taupe or gray. Where I struggle the most these days is finding the best eyeshadow shades to enhance my eye shape as I age. I avoid dark shades and have experimented with neutrals, but feel I could do better! One and done or 2 shades tend to work best. Love the tip about a fluffy vs firm brush to soften shimmers. Thank you!
The older I get the more I really just like a matte cream shade under the brow. I truly agree with you about a strong shimmery brow highlight. It looks so unnatural to me.
Thank you, I like that you explain the reason behind the technique, I myself need to practice on transitioning shadows, thank you for sharing your passion with us.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! What looked good when we were 20, doesn’t look as good when we’re 40, even less so when we’re 60. When I was 20, the “proper” eye makeup technique was lid color, then crease, then highlight under the brow and all of it was sparkly. There was no concept of transition shades, inside corner of the eye highlight, or a light matte color under the brow. Liner was only on the upper lid, except when I was on stage. At 40, younger girls were always asking me how to reproduce what I did, which still surprises the heck out of me. Now that I’m 65 (and starting over with makeup due to losing it all in a fire), I’m learning new techniques. Illness and tragedy have changed my face drastically. It’s like I don’t know my face anymore and am starting over. We need to alter our application not just because we’ve aged but because makeup application has advanced. We’ve learned a lot about what looks good since we first started wearing makeup. Formulas are better. Colors are more varied and interesting. We have primers, setting sprays (that aren’t Aquanet), and tubing mascaras. We can glimmer without sparkling and look dewy without looking greasy. We don’t have to wear heavy powders that make our faces look like masks or colors that make us look old fashioned. And we don’t have to spend a fortune to look our best. We need more vids like this. Maybe you could have some older ladies as models?
Thank you so much Lisa, your videos are the best on youtube. Everything makes sense and in addition you are so beautiful and have such a nice way to talk. All the best for you!!
I have a hard time using a light hand on my upper eyeliner😬 but I do diffuse and I wear glasses most of the time. I learned years ago to put my eye makeup on heavier when wearing glasses. What are your thoughts? Thank you, Lisa!!!
Thank you. You are a good teacher. I definitely agree with everything you said especially the eyebrows. Also, the highlighter for the brow bone is definetely worth mentioning too frosty is spot on. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Hi Lisa l love the way you do make-up and the way you explain everything, it's so easy to follow. I was using concealer to prime my eyes but find it's not really working for me. I will use what you recommend. Thank you so much. Happy New Year to you and your family.💞💞
An extremely helpful and enjoyable video; love this series. Especially great tip at the end using a fluffy brush to apply shimmer under the brow. Happy New Year!
Thank you for inparting your knowledge to us and helping us with our makeup. You truly are a expert when it comes to makeup application. May I also wish you and your family a very happy new year, may you have good health and may this year all your dreams and hopes come true.❤❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗🤗
I agree 100% with mistake #5! My goodness it’s so harsh and incredibly aging to line the bottom lash line IMO. I prefer to actually leave the bottom lash line without liner or even mascara. For special occasions I will apply a shimmery eyeshadow in a light color only. Darkness under the eye drags the eye down and makes them look heavy and droopy. IMO. To each their own.
Thank you Lisa! Amazing year of videos tutorials makeup pallet and lipsticks 💄 and outstanding brushes 👏 I'm excited for you and BK Beauty in 2022! I wanted to wish you and your family a Happy New Year 2022 XOXO
Hey Lisa 😊I would say i used black eyeliner in the 80s/90s for going out on a evening lol. I wouldn't now. Sadly some ladies still do makeup as they always have for years and years. Joan Collins the actress has this look and has had it from the beginning of her career even when she was in the TV show Dynasty lol. I watched a film in fact the other day 2007 she was in and she had her thick makeup on and at the end she removed it all and she looks beautiful. Your tips are great and that dark look made you look like you were awake for 4 days 😅😊💜💙💜
