IF I HAD A YOUTUBE BEAUTY CHANNEL IN 1983
IF I HAD A YOUTUBE BEAUTY CHANNEL IN 1983 I grew up in the 1980's. I wore lots of makeup and my hair, girl it was big! So I was just thinking what if I had a YouTube beauty channel in 1983. I mean what if YouTube existed and I had a beauty channel now at the age of 53. Would I have been wearing my makeup as crazy as I did back then? And would my hair be super big? I thought it would be fun to make myself look like I did back all those years ago and create a look. THE EYES HAVE IT In the 80's eye makeup was the rage. The more, and the darker the better.

THIS IS WHY I DON'T FOLLOW YOUNGER BEAUTY GURUS Aging skin is very tricky to deal with when it comes to makeup application. And it's why when it comes to makeup application I don't follow younger beauty gurus. They offer great tips on application in general especially for younger skin. But on my aging skin I just can't apply my makeup the way that they do it. At 53 I have to be very careful with how much makeup I wear and also how I apply it. If I'm not careful I just make myself look older and that's not the goal. I decided to follow along with another beauty guru and apply my makeup the way she does it. I chose this channel because in my YouTube search when I typed in how to contour and highlight her video was the first one in my feed. The point of doing this along with her and ... View Post
