I love that you don't look "perfect" from the beginning. We truly get to see the process. You are a wonderful teacher, and so genuine and fun to watch.

So nice to have a make up tutorial from someone who isn't 17 years old and using expensive make up

[CHRISTIANAKONSTANTINIDOU]

So beautiful I love your videos because i can see a very elegant and beautiful woman that she doesn't have the fear of time !! This is so nice

[MiniTatou]

Honestly, best makeup tutorial I've seen. You're funny, inspirational and such a great "teacher". I've tried your Taupe Smokey Eye yesterday and colleagues at work were amazed. Thank you !

[cindyphillips]

I love watching your videos! I’m 70 years young and refuse to give up and sit in a rocking chair! Thank you for helping us be the best we can be! And yes I drop stuff too, it’s called “dropsy”.

[carolynmeyer]

I really appreciate the step by step and honest talk from your videos...I learn so much! This has been an inspiration to me!!

Hello Dominique I recently turned 50yrs old few months ago and I've been looking for hair/makeup tips/tricks on looking younger for awhile now when I discovered one of your videos. I was absolutely blown away & very impressed how easy you make everything look lol. You made me feel very relaxed; at ease knowing I'm not alone in some of my, lets say, age issues lol. I was excited in the fact I actually found helpful tips from someone with same skin tone, eye & hair color as myself-that always helps right lol. I thank you for taking the time to help us individuals who may be a little less diverse in this area. I mean lets face it all of us (women) could use or deserve a little more selfcare at times right lol and it helps to know what to do or how to do it. I also appreciate and am grateful for your spunky, uplifting, humorous attitude bcuz sometimes makeup and hair care can definitely be stressful so it helps to laugh about it or in my case, at myself. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

[renukapaul]

This is the first ever makeup tutorial I've watched where I haven't felt like I can't do it myself. Thank you. You're the best. You make amazing changes and look so pretty by the end of the tutorial. You make it look like piece of cake...I love the fact that you teach with such simplicity and humor added to it. Thank you. I almost wish you could teach me one on one..but this is great too. Thank you again..

Dominique,
I've commented before and you have replied which I find so sincere as is but I wanted to truly thank you for remaining so uplifting and motivational on YouTube. I'm currently going through a very hard time and seek momentary solitude in your videos. I genuinely look forward to every Thursday because of you. So again thank you so much for the inspiration and know that all your kindness doesn't go unnoticed and affects people in ways you wouldn't believe.

Was thinking of your saying last night --- Be Bold, Be Blessed. At this time in my life I need to pull up my courage and fear not! I have to face my demons head on and serve them no more. So basically I need to be bold. And by my actions of obedience to God, who is the best Master, I will be truly blessed. Thank you, Denise

Oh my. You are a gift to your subscribers. I found my channel for information and grace. Thank you. I thought of you when I spent an hour walking around the NYX store in Union Square, NYC. Thank you thank you thank you.

[kitcat]

Wow - great tutorial, I am so impressed you do your own hair and make up, you always look immaculate!

[inikidaisy]

May I just say that your beauty, spirit and humor are a delight to watch. You are just so beautiful. Thank you for all the hard work you do in putting your videos together.

[lisalalita]

Just came across this and tried it out. I managed smokey eyes for the first time ever! Thank you. :) Now I am on to your hooded eye tutorial which I just saw in the feed....

I was looking for a haircut with bangs. This is not what i look like anymore. I cut my hair when i turned 60 & since i was getting so much gray, i went blond. Bottom of my back hair is brown. I had my hair swept to the side. Since i don't have thick hair (YOU HAVE THE MOST PERFECT HAIR I HAVE EVER SEEN) I wanted my bangs back instead of the side sweep. So, i watched your video on bob hair & just really liked your different styles.
After watching your hair video, i went to my hairstylist & had her cut the top of my long layers into bangs. I am happy with my hair now. Came home & watched this smokey eye tutorial & loved it. Now i will keep watching your videos on how to do things. I have to do my makeup a little different since i'm older than you.
Thanx again for the videos sure do enjoy

[alisonlaing]

what a difference. same very professional and glam.

[chrishuntman]

Your videos have become my new favorite thing on Sunday afternoons!!! I thought I was to old for an everyday smoky eye and since I started watching your videos I feel very confident doing a smoky eye everyday! I love your videos and want to thank you for showing us ladies 40 and older that just because we are 40+we are still Much love Carrie
