#howtodoyourmakeup, #beginnersmakeup, #beginnersguidetomakeup, #howtoapplymakeup,
I’ve heard different KZheadrs say that the era of makeup tutorials are no longer popular. I think when they’re done by a professional like Nikki, they are awesome. I appreciate your videos and hope you never change.
Exactly! The difference is that Nikki is actually super educated and a working makeup artist!
I agree. The accounts that promote themselves as "influencers" are exhausting, unrealistic, and just get paid to promote stuff. Nikki is a breath of fresh air, because it's from a real, honest, and professional point of view. No purchased, fake opinions.
15 years ago I used too consume so much makeup content. I watched so many makeup tutorials over the years. With time, I did grew out of it and the youtubers I follow/followed too. But I got back into it after discovering Nikki's channel through MixedMakeup. It's such a big change to watch a pro makeup artist do makeup. I feel like I'm learning so much!
I feel as if us as consumers/ viewers we love our OGs, but we need new personalities! I love tutorials, I even do them! We all needs fresh new face here and there
I miss the tutorial days! Now it’s just fast fads, random trends and constant new releases. So tiring. I don’t need to buy things, I want to create cool things with the stuff I have
I have learned so much from you. For years I never struggled with makeup. Putting makeup on as a 20-30 something is soooo different than a 40-50+. I would love to see you apply makeup with prep on a 50+ person. You are so gifted as an artist and communicator❤️
I totally agree. Seeing you put makeup on a 50-60 yr. old would be awesome. As a 60yr. old I really struggle with concealer. I have really dark circles and some hollowness but the concealer never totally helps. Lines seem to be emphasized after applying concealer. Tried a color corrector and it looked awful. Don't know how to solve the problem
Couldn’t agree more! Going into my 40s has been eye opening as my skin has changed. My eye makeup is getting harder, especially liquid eyeliner or concealer under my eyes. So this would be helpful.
I have always struggled with makeup because I had very, very oily skin. Now I'm in 40s and I have less oily but mature skin! Still nothing works for me. I would love a video about that please!!
I'm in for that idea as well!!! ❤
Me too❤
From someone who taught school for 38 years, I just want to compliment you on your teaching skills. Great job, Nikki. I am going to tell my young nieces to watch this. Also, most MUA would have charged $$$ for all this information, but you have such a kind heart, and true passion for this art.❣
Nikki is the absolute best MUA on KZhead. So thorough and sweet. She's taught me so much. Just love her. 👌🏽💕
I'm not a beginner but I'm not a make up artist either,so it's always good to go back to the basics,remember some things and avoid some mistakes.Thank you!
Ditto! Not a beginner, more so someone who is coming back to makeup after a hiatus. Been watching you religiously over the past year and learned so much. This tutorial put a nice bow around everything I’ve learned. Thanks!!
Thank you...I enjoyed watching as always. I'm 63....I agree with other mature women that we would love to see you do a video on a woman over 60. At 50...you have changes but many of my female friends agree that after 60 is when the really noticeable wrinkles show and we would love to see you do a video on the over 60 woman! Drug store and high end.... Thank you for all you do! ❤🙏
I am 60 and my granddaughter is 11. She has been asking questions about makeup. We have been watching your videos together. I want her to learn properly and not make some of the silly mistakes I did as a teenager!! She is interested in lippies and a bit of sparkle on the eyes so far!! She does not wear these to school on a daily basis but when we do dinner out she has fun doing a little something. I feel this is a healthy way to start her makeup journey 😊
Thank you so much. I’m 63 years old and have never worn makeup, as terrified I’d end up like a clown. Your tutorial is so inspiring and informative, I’m going to start wearing makeup and applying it in accordance with your guide. You look stunning
Practice makes perfect! You can always wash it off. Good luck!
@@HopeSenn thank you.
My 70 something coworker was same. Now she wears minimal makeup daily which makes her skin look younger. Her church group says she looks great! Go for it
@@alwarre9073thank you. I’ll definitely need to practice.
As a 48 year old beginner I learned soooomuch from this tutorial. Please keep the beginner content coming. Thank you for making me feel welcome. You are so knowledgeable and welcoming and I appreciate it. Can’t wait to see your other tutorials!
I’m so appreciative of you still doing videos .. I don’t really care for shorts.. sometimes they are ok but there’s nothing like watching a full length tutorial!! ❤ thanks so much!!
I agree. I absolutely hate shorts
Unbelievable. I’ve been applying makeup for decades….and I still picked up a few wonderful tips!
Thank you so much for this beginner tutorial. I'm in my 60's and it will help me get a much more modern look. Every thing is so different today than when I wore makeup every day while working in the 80s and nineties. I just love all your videos!
At 56 and a terrible car accident I decided to try makeup. Thank you for your tutorials. This new world is overwhelming and confusing especially with mature skin. Please keep your tips and guidance coming.
Would love a drugstore version of this!? Hardly use makeup so don’t want to spend too much money on makeup but still would like to know products that would be easy for me to try similar to these
Nikki, this video should go viral as it was simply outstanding, and IMO your very best to date! You are as sweet and generous as they come, and beautiful inside and out. Thank you for all you do. From a 65 Y/O grandma, ❤
I’m 69 yrs old, this was a perfect refresher course for me along with new tips. Since I retired I’ve been lax with makeup, now im all in trying new products etc . Thank You so much!☺️
I need... a series of beginners' videos from Nikki xD!!!!!!!
Yes! I second this! I need it 😭🩷
So delighted that you’re covering makeup applications for beginners- during change of the seasons I reevaluate skincare and adjust makeup formulas and colors- getting back to basics is key for beautiful lasting looks
Can I just say, as a man who wears makeup, having artists like you truly are a beautiful guiding light. Your tips have given me so much confidence in applying and wearing makeup 💞
Love long form content, especially from an artist who embraces a natural look!
Nikki-----You are such a skilled teacher. The way you teach, speak, describe product is like no other. You give the why's to everything which I find so so helpful. I'm not beginner, I'm nearly 60 and have been wearing make up since I was 13/14 years old (foundation came much later, mid 20's) and I am STILL learning something from your videos. Especially since product quality and product textures have changed so much (and I can afford a bit more than drug store now--still love drug store but I do love to treat myself). Thank you for you being you. You are such a pleasure to watch and learn from. BTW, can't wait til Thursday---need a 2nd N14, N15, N16 & N17....so excited for this!!!! See ya soon.
The best teachers do not overcomplicate things, they just explain with encouragement like you do. I agree with an earlier post if you can arrange to have a 50+ model, it would really help me. Plus not have such good lighting. 😊 I'm having fun learning all over again, but finding a drugstore foundation I like has been challenging.
Nikki, thank you for this!!! My daughters are learning makeup and enjoy watching your videos with me, can’t wait to watch this again with them!!! You’re the best teacher and I appreciate you sharing your tips and expertise with us!! 💙💙
I really REALLY enjoy your videos! I wore makeup until I was 30 and then stopped until this year (I’m 51yo now). I loved your video on all the foundations and especially the tutorials as I realized so much has changed in 21 years 😂
Hey friend, a Muslim niqabi woman here: so I don’t wear make up in public but I love doing a light something at the start of my day and it’s a nice little therapy. First time seeing your channel, but I like the long video format, and the no music. Straight to the point 👍🏼 nice job. You just earned a new subscriber ❤ God bless you hun
You are the absolute best at doing detailed tutorials. You explain everything so well and don't asume we all know everything, I agree with the other comments, we would love to see you put makup on someone 50-60 if you have a volunteer model. As wonderful as your undereye concealer and color correcter are, they don't work for many of us with crepe, fine lines and some not so fine. Everything seems to make it worse. Please consider using a model for us! Especially if they have crepey hoods also! We love you! ❤
Nikki! I LOVE the ALL WHITE background and outfit!!!! Its so professional looking. This would be a great signature look for all makeup tutorials. There's just something about it that is perfection!!!
The fact that I started learning yesterday!!!!! And majority of your videos are saved in makeup playlist. Actual steps and tips!!
Hi Nikki! I have probably watched this video at least 3 times and recommended it to all my friends. I used to be a big beauty junkie back in the days, it was like my therapy and a creative outlet. But due to burnout and depression I totally lost both the interest and my energy to care about how I looked for some years. Going from a 7 step skin care routine and mostly a full face of makeup everyday to barely even washing my face. Anyway, I'm slowly getting better and my passion for makeup starts coming back. This video popped up in my feed and now I'm such a big fan of yours. Not only for the amazing makeup looks and techniques but because you seem like such a lovely person. I just wanted to say thank you! ❤
Hello Nikki and happy new year!!! Let me tell you that, in my opinion, you're just great! What a generosity of you to make this video. It's just pure willing to help everybody and it shows how much you love what you do in life... That's beautiful! I have so much respect for you and admire you so deeply... Love these videos and think they're really necessary for so much people. Thank you so much. Big big kisses to you from Portugal 🇵🇹 ❤
This is EXACTLY what I needed to see. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I’m not a beginner and I still found this SO helpful! Thanks, Nikki.
I forgot to say how much I appreciate you mentioned the Fenty sticks. I went and picked one up and they are just as wonderful as you explain. My only complaint is that there is not a lot of product in there for the price.
Not a beginner, but this tutorial was a great refresher. I recently discovered your channel through Allie, and I love the content!!!
Thank you for doing this. You look so beautiful. I'm 64 and just starting.
Thank you for this video. I am 67 and feel overwhelmed by the makeup videos I have been watching. You have made it simple and clear-cut for beginners. I will buy all the products you have mentioned.
I'm certainly not a beginner, but I still learned a few things from watching this video. And for the record, about 35 minutes in when your complexion and brows were done but not your eyeshadow, you actually looked AMAZING. So fresh faced and youthful! And then you did your eyes and you still looked amazing, but in more of a soft glam way.
Just state the time stamp. 35:00
This is a wonderful, detailed, informative, and candid (honest) tutorial. My Mom was a stage make-up artist -and even now, in her eighties, is still learning different techniques. From Kryolan paints, to MAC, and RMS, she and I have both worked with it all. However, any product is only as good as the prep, and the application techniques and tools. So, thank-you for this must-see, timeless approach.
I'm 37. I've been wearing makeup since I was 12. I watched this straight through
This was amazing Nikki! Thank you! ❤ starting my makeup journey at 63yo
Thank you so much for this!! I'm getting back into makeup after about a decade long hiatus. Makeup products and trends have changed so much since I regularly wore makeup. This tutorial is super helpful and you're so gorgeous Nikki!!
I am a 58 year old makeup lover ❤! I found your tutorial very helpful. Dealing with mature skin can be difficult but I had a lot of the products that you used and the results were flattering! Thank you!
the best make up tutorial ever watched
My daughter and I discovered your channel a while ago and we love watching and learning together through you. The one question we do have is what type of make up mirror would you suggest for a almost beginner? There are so many of them out there and they can be overwhelming. Thanks in advance for your help! ❤️
Nikki is truly the BEST 🙌🏼
Soo pretty! I’m not a beginner but I love learning about your pro tips and how-to’s. This was excellent and I’m probably gonna watch it again❤(!)
Nikki. You continue to outdo yourself. Bravo!!!
The perfect tutorial! Detailed yet concise, highly informative, technique and application focused, and great relevant product recommendations.😊🎉
Finally a real make up tutorial. Enough of products marketing. Thanks Nikki
I just came across your channel & the videos I’ve watched so far are so informative. I’m not expert but have been a makeup lover since I was 15 and as I grow and my skin changes, I’ve come across many challenges. So coming across your channel and learning from someone completely new, it’s amazing and I’m all for it 💕
I'm 58, so not a beginner, but I learned some new things to try. I enjoyed every minute of your advice. Please keep doing what you do for those of us out here who love a thorough makeup tutorial! ❤
That tip about blinking over your mascara wand is genius!
I'm not a beginner, but I love watching you apply makeup. Great tutorial.
Amazing makeup tutorial for beginners and even those of us who are never too old to learn something new. I plan on sending this video to my 16 and 18 year old granddaughters, so they will learn the correct applications of different makeup products.
The best beginner profile ever
This tutorial is good for anyone, not necessarily for beginners. I just ordered your brushes!
Ravie Beauty Dahlia looks so pretty on you! I like that one and I have Tulip, too, but Dahlia seems a little easier to wear. Thanks for the in-depth tutorial!
Such a great tutorial, Nikki! I too, would love to see a video of you applying makeup on someone 40+
Thank you so much! I’m 47 years old and starting over ( thanks to my beautiful 12 year old daughter) she’s revived my yearning to learn new ways to apply my makeup ! Really appreciate these tutorials ❤
Loved this. I stopped watching makeup tutorials years ago because the "influencer" stuff got way too crazy. Nikki your pro Mua/teacher videos are such a breath of fresh air!!!!
I love when you do these videos. So many great tips!! I find myself constantly saying “ahhhh….thats what I’m doing wrong!” lol. Thank you!!
Nikki! This is great. I’ve been doing makeup for years and still enjoy these kind of videos. Would you consider sharing how you pack and setup your pro kit!? Essentials!?? 🥹🥹 pretty please with a cherry on top 🍒😂
Hi Nikki! I love your videos. And the way you teach is so nice. Can you do, please one with real mature skin. I struggle especially with the eyes. And making it daily and natural.
I 2nd this.
This is an Amazing video Nikki! Thank you so much! I’ve watched it multiple times. Please don’t stop long form videos!!!
I loooove your channel! You are honest and guides us on what to take note and when watching these tutorials❤❤❤
You are so fun and beautiful. Thank you for your expertise. Sitting with a coffee and watching your videos is a simple yet meaningful joy ❤
This is amazing! I super appreciate how you break it down into simple steps! Thank you✨

I loved this video and sent it to my mom and several friends.

I appreciate you and Lisa's tutorials.
Thank you Nikki! This is soooo helpful. I have learned so many wonderful tips from your videos. ❤
thank you so much for explaining the characteristics and function of the brushes you use, choosing the appropriate brush is something that has always intimidated me
Love this video! I have a hard time doing my make up so I appreciate you taking the time to go step by step and sharing your tips. Thank you!
What a great beginner/ refresher video!!! Or is it just that I love listening to you watching you put on makeup? Let’s be honest- I’d watch if you were making Mac n cheese. 😂❤️😂
This is a super helpful video Nikki and just what I was looking for. Thank you!!
Thanks for these tips! I love these more minimalist looks. I'm a hard-core minimalist myself when it comes to makeup.
I absolutely love your channel! You always post SO insightful and knowledgeable content! You know exactly what you’re doing and you always add insightful info for all skin types! I really appreciate your tutorial-based content! I love makeup, but am a beginner with it so I really appreciate your content!
Great video Nikki I don't think anyone does proper tutorials anymore!❤Everything you say not to do, I do..😂 Again, Mac trained artists are the best!
This was absolutely fantastic Nikki ❤ I think we all need a trip back to basis. I found it extremely helpful and you’re an natural teacher ❤
Thank you for this! It is super helpful and i really really appreciate your way of speaking, do not change it
