Have you ever heard of "Look Fabulous Forever"? It's a makeup blog of a lady by the name of Tricia Cusden. She's from the UK and does the most beautiful makeup tutorial videos for the over 60 crowd. Just discovered her on youtube and was very impressed with her tips and techniques. She also sells a line of makeup but her tips can be used with any product you like. So many of these tutorials use young models that really don't look like us mature gals. She uses mature ladies, (friends of her, actually) not models, without any makeup, no surgeries, no fillers, no botox, etc etc. Really good. Check it out if you are so inclined.

I've looked at at few u-tube on makeup apllication. Like you said, all the girls are 20 somethin'.

Thanks for sharing about this lady. I'll look this up. Wish there was someone who is a mature woman of color.

Thank you will check this out. I get annoyed with the vendors who only want to use 20 something year old models. Of course, everything will look good on someone that young.

Sounds interesting. Thanks for posting.

I would like to see someone work on some crepey eyes. I hate when they say that I just need extra moisturizer under my eyes. No amount of moisturizer is going to make me look 20. I would just like to see some suggestions with realistic results.

Thanks for the site. It's ridiculous to watch these vendors who use ""baby"" models with perfect skin. I appreciate Adrienne: at least she keeps it real. I don't appreciate Courtney talking about wrinkles and cures for this and that of the mature woman. She talks as if she has those problems.

That's my peev as well!

While not 60 I won't buy from any vendor who won't demo their product on a woman over 40. It not only says something about their line, it says something about themselves.

Thanks Irishrose i really liked the two I watched . Will go back and watch more. Picked up some great tips for eye makeup application. There's one for face (foundation etc) and saw several things I'm not doing.

This is definitely a learning curve for me and am grateful for all hints, info and guidance. Really appreciate your posts! Thanks Karen
