 Good morning. I'm Mary Ellen from the channel Mary Ellen after 60 and I've been getting a lot of questions about powder Foundations and how I apply and and what brands I use Well, I just use what I have and I'm also going to announce a couple of giveaway winners. I Have four powder foundations and I'll go through with with you what I have I have the it cosmetics celebration foundation in Medium beige. I have the celebration foundation illumination in light the Lara Geller balance and brighten and this one is in regular and Lara Geller balance and brighten in light and then I have two others. I have the CC plus foundation powder foundation in medium and I also have the bye-bye foundation in light and If I list these below I think there's one that I did not purchase myself and if it's something I didn't purchase myself that was given to me by the Company, I always put a star by it So if you see a star by it, you know that was given to me by the company But there may be just one. So what I'm going to do today. I'm going to put my I call it my camera But it's my phone. I'm going to put it on my table and put it close to my face I had one side of my makeup done before I started filming the up close one and I I hope you find it helpful I don't ever do any really dramatic looks I really like to try to use the least amount of product that I possibly can and get the best results that I can And I'm going to go ahead and get started Okay, this side of my face is done even to my lips and I'm going to go ahead and do this side to match this side and Over here. I don't have on Well, I have a mascara and the sunscreen I have on is the dermatology broad spectrum 45 It has no tent because I didn't want to you know make my powder foundation look better than it needed to be It's just this is just a real basic Not necessarily quick because sometimes if I want to get a just a real nice sheer cover It isn't always quick So I'm going to go ahead and get started and today I'm going to use that it's celebration foundation And I'm going to have to use to because when I did this side of my face It was too dark under my eyes, but I'm going to go ahead and do it exactly like I did and since I have the phone Probably 10 inches from my face. It's on my table. So I hope I don't shake it much But there's a chance I will and I'm using this brush and I don't know the name of it Purchase this from Macy's, but I have some of the older ones from it cosmetics that have the silver Handle and I like them both the same So I'm going to use this end and this just to make it simple And this is what I'm going to use all over my face and it's right there. It's that medium beige and The celebration foundation I did the wrong side of my face. I should have done this side I should have done this side anyway We're just going to see do you see how dark that area is there and It's not dark over here as dark I'm going to go ahead and get started with this and put it over here And I guess I'll have to put my mirror here Then I'm going to pat it underneath this eye and under here and the next place I'm going to go is right about my eyebrow for some reason Powder foundation doesn't want to stick in that area and I don't have any Reason why it just doesn't and I don't use a primer this is just on after my skincare and my sunscreen The other area is right in here And as soon as I get this done, I'm going to put the other part of my lipstick on and I'm still using the small end This area has a lot of redness and pores So I really want to make sure I bounce that in really well there and I usually just Use it most on that not on the parameter of my face, but the areas that need it most and I blend it out But any brush like this works really well. I Tell you I have love makeup all my life, and I was thinking this morning That I can owe that to my oldest sister She's a little over six years older than I am and She would bring me all sorts of makeup and I kind of missed For a while there for my early teenage years till after I got married and had children I really missed the drugstore makeup because she was supplying me with some really good stuff And this is the jelly lip gloss I talked about in a video some time ago But I just really still like it and it feels so good Okay, I've got my lipstick on now. I'm gonna go ahead and finish my face now I'm gonna bounce it in here Just bounce it in and start bouncing on my face and it might be easy Just easier for me to use lips. I don't want to go on the other side That was so hard this morning when I put that half of my makeup on that was so hard not to Do both sides You know what I forgot to do? I Forgot to put my blush on I'm gonna see if it works over foundation because I use my blush bomb by hard No, it's by flower beauty This may not work. I'm gonna go ahead and try just a tiny dot That might be too much. I don't know we're gonna see and I've got a towel here We'll see what it looks like over foundation And I like to bring I still like to do it the old-fashioned way Bringing across the bridge of my nose still put it on my cheeks I'm gonna let it dry a little bit and I still have a bunch on my hand. I Think it's dry now. So I'm gonna just but this all over the inside of my face And I try not to pull and take up my skin. I really do I See a spot. I miss completely I probably missed a lot of spots, but it's not thick enough right in here It's not thick enough that if you miss something, it's it's gonna be okay So if you're still here, I'm gonna finish my eye shadow and this is the palette that I used and It's the only palette I've purchased this year and I'm gonna use four of my eco tool brushes I know in the past couple of years. I know I bought 30 of these to do as giveaways But what I like about these they're less than $10 you get five brushes And I can do a whole eye look with them and they're easy to clean I've I've had mine for over a year, and I really like them, but I'm gonna start with this brush right here And I'm gonna put some eyeshadow on my lid and What I have on my lid right now is an eye primer that you cannot buy It is one that is is not opaque and I have to have an eyelid primer I can't use concealer. I can't use foundation if I do it will all end up right there and it's been this way My whole life. I used to have to carry my eye shadow with me because after about three or four hours I would have like a row of eye shadow there and Primers have not been around all that long the first one I remember was from Lancome and I know that was 10 or 15 years ago But I had to I had to reapply my eyeshadows and since I found the world of primers I don't and I will recommend one to you that I think is really good and it is by Milani and I heard about that from Emily Noel 83 and I bought some and I like it and when I'm done with what I've got to use Up I'm gonna use it, but I'm gonna use this brush and I am going to go into Pixie and I will put a Number up there. This is number one and I'm gonna be very careful and Just place it on my eyelids I'm gonna clean it off and then I'm gonna put haze in the corner Just right here. I'm gonna take a clean brush like this And if I get any in my mascara, I can clean it off when I'm done. So I'm just gonna kind of smooth this out Then I'm gonna take this brush and then I'm gonna go into Seoul And I'm gonna try to make these eye eyes match But what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take this and I'm going to Dab it right here and dab it right here on the tip and then I'm just gonna go like this And I got too much these gen nude Shadows are really good. They're by Merit bare minerals And I'm gonna work on that a minute and I'll be right back. I Just added some more to this side because I thought that would be easier but I'm gonna go back into that color with this little round brush and I'm going to get this area right here I'm gonna use this brush again, and I'm gonna go into Pixie. I don't usually have to do this But I want to get that smoothed out a little bit So therefore I need to do it on this eye, too And then I'm gonna go back to a little short flat brush And then I'm gonna add some so-ho to the corner and this is a very beautiful Kind of a glimmery color. It's got a little glitter, but not chunks Just dab it on there. I'm also gonna use this little round brush and put some color underneath my eyes right here You know, I have permanent eyeliner And then this pointed brush I'm gonna I'm gonna put a little bit of the dark stargazer in that very corner And I'm hoping just to bring up the side of my eyelid to make it look a little bit more Higher and I'll do it a little bit more higher. I Want it to look a little bit more lifted You know something I forgot to do I just went into my dressing room and put on my navy eyeliner in my upper waterline but anyway, that is my easy powder look and We'll find out if the the flower blush bomb last over powder foundation as well as it did under I did forget one step when I was filming I Forgot to make these eyes even and how I did that was I use the it Celebration foundation and illumination and I just use the end of this I will use the end of this and I'll put it underneath this eye so it'll make it look more balanced If you aren't interested in this vintage quilt I'll put a time above where you can go directly and see who the winners from my last giveaway were This is what I believe is a double wedding ring quilt that was made prior to 1965 by my former mother-in-law and I just put it on my bed upstairs to show it to you This is what it looks like up close It is all hand quilted and machine-piece It's one of my very favorite quilts, and it's one of the very first quilts it that she gave me And this is the back side of the quilt and you can see where it is hand-bound And now I would like to announce the winners of last week's giveaway.
