5 Mature Beauty Vloggers Every Midlife Woman Needs To Follow

Because when you look your best, you feel your best too.

If you're still using the same makeup routine you had a decade ago -- you've got a problem. Fortunately, we have the beauty bloggers to get you out of your rut.

Here are five of our favorite beauty vloggers on YouTube, who are all agelessly beautiful.

1. Melissa55

 

We know it's hard to believe, but this gorgeous woman is 60! And a grandma. We recently wrote about Melissa, who is quickly becoming an Internet sensation thanks to her luminous skin and charming southern twang. 

Melissa's channel is a great go-to for hair tips (they love big hair in the South), product reviews and, most importantly, skincare tips. She shares her complete skincare regimen and swears she's never had any work done.

2. HotandFlashy

 

Angie is a 50-something who will help you "maintain and regain your hotness." As the name suggests, hitting menopause doesn't mean you have to surrender any of your sexiness. What we love most about Angie's channel is that it covers everything health and fitness and beauty.

She reviews countless products -- everything from drugstore foundations to anti-aging treatments to hot-flash remedies. And since aging is more than skin deep -- she also has fitness tutorials. The videos are detailed and easy to follow -- and if her body is testament to the efficacy of the workouts, we're signing up.

3. Beauty by Anne-Marie

 

Anne-Marie is a 40-plus vlogger who is openly obsessed with all things beauty. We like that her channel specifically addresses the issues we all face as we get older -- aging eyes, aging hands and lackluster skin. 

While her own look is natural and polished, she also isn't afraid to dabble with beauty trends like contouring and highlighting, sunless tanning and beauty oils. 

4. Look Fabulous Forever

 

"Age is no barrier to looking fabulous," is the philosophy of this channel for older women seeking to look their very best. If you want to go for a sophisticated, clean look, this is for you. If you're just a fledgling makeup artist, you'll find plenty of videos here covering the basics -- like how to apply blush or use concealer. The videos also tackle more age-specific issues including makeup ideas for the mother of the bride or groom.

5. Frugalistablog

Frugalistablog is a must-see for a seasoned makeup artist. There are product reviews galore for makeup junkies as well as tutorials on how to apply eye makeup for a night out. But we also love that a mix of both high-end and low-end makeup is featured, making the videos relatable for any number of people. Plus, Frugalistablog is in her 40s so the videos are relevant for the younger midlife woman.

5 Ways Post50s Can Improve Their Sex Life
It's Not Over(01 of05)

Everything in our culture makes people, and women in particular, feel that after the age of 40, they're no longer sexually attractive, and this belief gets internalized. But researcher Gina Ogden, in conducting her famed Isis study (a national survey of sexuality and spirituality), found that women in their 60s and 70s were having the best sex of their lives -- people need to understand that the brain is the most important sex organ in the body!

Hardware vs. Software(02 of05)

Men and women get into sexual patterns in their teens, 20s and 30s that never change. So in recognizing this, we need to say, "the hardware is going to stay the same, but we can update the software." And you can update the software by trying different things, but mostly by getting to know yourself. (credit:Alamy)
Practice, Practice, Practice(03 of05)

If your body is an instrument, then you're only going to get better by practicing. And quite frankly, from a health standpoint, there isn't a better use of your time. Men take erection-enhancing drugs to increase nitric oxide in the penile blood vessels, but they can increase nitric oxide themselves by improving their sex lives either on their own or with a partner. Orgasms trigger a huge burst of nitric oxide, which balances the neurotransmitters in your body -- the same neurotransmitters that people take drugs to balance. It's a shame because antidepressants lower one's ability for full sexual expression, so the one thing that could really decrease depression is the one thing that the drugs quiet down. People don't realize that you can turn on chemicals in your own body without importing unnatural drugs to do it for you. (credit:Alamy)
Get Fit(04 of05)

If you're fit, you're much more likely to have a satisfying sex life. Being and feeling healthy and being and feeling sexy are synonymous. I just spoke to a 70-year-old friend of mine -- a total fox -- who's trying his luck on eHarmony. So we talked about what people in his demographic are looking for, and we both agreed -- health! When you're healthy and your hardware is working the best it can, you can focus on downloading new software. (credit:Alamy)
Take Your Time(05 of05)

Women need to understand that they are far more complicated sexually than men are. For men, the focus is in the genitals. But with women, sex is like a martial art, and women need to master that art and have the ability to move sexual energy around, manipulate sounds and focus on certain areas. The beauty of being over 50 is that you have more time to practice this. Women need 45 minutes to get fully turned-on. Do you know how long the average couple spends making love? 15 minutes. Slow down! Take time! (credit:Alamy)
