This was EXTREMELY helpful. I'm 36 and I've never highlighted or contoured before because I'm afraid of looking like a clown. Also when I've seen other tube girls (20-somethings) highlight and contour in their videos it just seems like they are putting on tons of product and it ends up turning me off from doing it on myself. I'm all about not looking too over done. So this method you have shown us seems a lot more doable for me. Thanks for looking out for us girls who are no longer 20 ;-) lol

You are a rare gem in the world of beauty...so great at what you do, yet humble. So successful without having attitude. Love all the mature face tips! Binge watching you now!

The MOST helpful contour and foundation video that I have found!!! I'm so happy I came across your videos!

[colhammond]

thank-you for this video. I'm reading the comments and I feel the same way . I look in the mirror after doing my makeup and i feel like I look great then take a photo and I can't believe what I'm looking at. I'm 53 and I have always been told that I look so young but lately...wow I'm just shocked so now I'm doing the Botox thing on my forehead and using retinol and I have to say I'm really starting to notice a difference in my skin ., your channel has changed my life in such a good way . you are wonderful and a great teacher.

I am a new watcher and this is me first video of yours and I learned so much! I am in my late 30s and are showing aging to where the younger beauty gurus techniques don't all work for me anymore. So glad I've found a mature beauty youtuber!

[pathenry]

Love your videos! You have mega talent!!!! Having just turned 70 and seeing all the lines and wrinkles I am always trying to find different techniques for applying makeup. I have a long, thin face and have always been told not to contour and never to use powder. Also that "less is more" so I really never look made up as I am afraid I'll look too made up. Would love a video showing the mature 70 year old with lines and wrinkles what is the best way to apply makeup to our faces and what the best products are for us.

This is hands down the best H&C tutorial! Especially since it's for mature skin. I was always so confused about putting H&C under foundation vs. over. Now I know the how and why of doing both! Your results are so natural and beautiful looking and I can actually think I can pull it off on my 45 yr old face. Much respect to the 20-something beauty gurus, but I'm not interested too much in following their tutorials, as gorgeous as they are. I'm realistic with my expectations and I know I will never look like them with that young supple skin they have. Oh how I miss it. So thank you so much for this tutorial!

I've been watching you consistently after I found you a few months and am over 75!
Am homebound (unrelated to age), and suspect that there are others of my decade at home who entertain themselves with YouTube. Your videos help me look like I still like myself as needed--in public or with family, and especially in photos. We mail-order!

Maybe there are others my age? Could u add 70s to your listing of age groups? "....40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s" .

[miriamhanvey]

This is the third video I have saw for mature skin your makeup is gorgeous i will have to try these tips xx

[Roseisrose]

It made so much sense to do a large portion of contour and highlight before foundation-I had never thought of that, but it looks SO much more natural! Congrats on the bump in subscribers! More people should know about you! XO

[tamarapace]

Still relevant 4 years later. I'm mid 50's and just starting to take interest in makeup. Your style of artistry next to your teaching abilities are a perfect way for me to enjoy myself and learn new techniques.

[starstruckrabbit]

Elle Lear Artistry, thank you again for another 101 tutorial. I actually am self taught and watched YouTube videos on how to contour and highlight my facial features. Unfortunately, the tutorials I found were all on young women 10 or more years younger than me. I really appreciate your take on the "Contour & Highlight for Mature Faces". The techniques you showed will help me a great deal! :)

[eerye]

You know what i love most about this? even though it was alot of work and steps and probably way more than i would do on an average work day, you don't look like you have alot of makeup on. You just look beautiful and fresh and natural. I really like that. It seems like alot of people on youtube are so busy being pretty and creative, that they just over do the look and although i appreciate the creativity and artistry, i am never going to wear that look or even attempt that look. So it is the same as looking at pictures in Allure magazine. I love your looks because they are just classic beauty. Good job!

[whitneychapman]

I absolutely LOVE your content! I found your channel a month ago and have been binge watching. I watch a lot of Beauty Channels and have learned so much from yours.

[amyjarpe]

Wonderful! Didn’t know to do the contour before foundation!!

[plume]

Elle, I think this might hv been a request of mine along with other viewers too, because the mature face is so different because of sagging. I appreciate yr listening to us & coming thru with such a great explanation & showing step by step how & why. Best contour video I've seen for mature faces! I think I need to get a contour that blends easier! I will try this one. Thx so much again!

[nmartn]

Contour and highlight before foundation...mind blown 🤯 and it makes perfect sense because the foundation just brings it all together.

[messikitchenwithfpb]

For the first time in over 10yrs I put makeup on. Thank you so much!! I never knew how good it would make me feel. 😃

[julieannharris]
