When you get to be a certain age, the standard YouTube beauty tutorial isn't going to be your style. You're already far along enough in life that you know what works for you, and that doesn't include thick coats of glitter or intensely smoky eyes — you're leaving that to your kids. But trust us, that doesn't mean you can't (gorgeously!) age with grace. We found a handful of mature beauty pros who put the average vlogger to shame with their tricks, techniques, and charisma. These stunning women have years of experience testing skin care regimens and perfecting application methods, so you know they're providing you with some advanced expertise. Even if you're not middle-aged, you'll learn a thing or two!

You can tell Marnie has a sense of humor by the title of her technique series — Makeup For Grown-Ass Women — but it's not until you watch her videos that you get to know her product knowledge. Though she may have discovered makeup later in life, this 40-something mom makes up for it with fantastic application tips, shade-selecting techniques, and more.

While hooded eyelids can be a beauty challenge for many women, Nisha has used hers to help others. Many of her tutorials revolve around shadow application techniques. While it can initially look dramatic when the 40-plus makeup maven creates her faux crease, she blends in her products to result in a flawless, multidimensional finish.

This 40-something mom has many tutorials based on her amazing hair. Kim thoroughly demonstrates elementary (but often challenging) techniques like using a round brush, getting perfect beach waves, and maneuvering a curling wand. We were especially impressed by how naturally voluminous she made her mane look at the crown without any teasing.
Melissa55
If we end up looking as half as good as Melissa does when we're in our 60s, we'll be seriously grateful. The gorgeous video star says she owes her flawless complexion to Retin-A and Obagi products, in addition to skipping heavy moisturizers and face-cleansing brushes. But you'll have to watch her videos to discover more of her skin secrets!
HotAndFlashy
Looking at Angie, you'd never guess that she is in her 50s. She bravely bares her skin to her viewers, sharing her experiments with fillers, Botox, and retinoids. Like many of her fellow mature beauty YouTubers, she has lots of hacks for correcting sagging, hooded eyes. In her most popular video, she uses eyelash glue and a bobby pin to fake the appearance of sculpted lids.
