Firstly, it’s very important to nourish and hydrate the skin, Mary uses a generous amount of the CHANEL Sublimage La Crème, £245 (http://bit.ly/1WGfKaL) and massages it into the skin, tapping into the eye area too.
Moving onto the eye cream, to help the tissue around the eye, Mary uses the CHANEL Sublimage Eye, £125 (http://bit.ly/1PiDhXj) leaving it to soak in if possible.
Mary explains that SPF is an incredibly important step in the makeup routine and she uses the CHANEL CC Cream Complete Correction SPF50 in 10, £44 (http://buff.ly/28n5I21) to give coverage, to add radiance and protect the skin at the same time.
To add a bit more coverage, Mary uses the new CHANEL Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation in 22, £60 (http://bit.ly/1U8K9uK) and taps it into the skin to create a flawless base.
For lip nourishment, Mary uses the CHANEL Hydra Beauty Nourishing Lip Care, £50 (http://bit.ly/1YfYwjM) which hydrates and creates a soft and supple base.
Next, to lift the entire eye area, Mary uses the CHANEL Correcteur Perfection Long Lasting Concealer in 10, £27 (http://buff.ly/1ZANtA8) and sweeps it under the eyes, tapping the product in. This fine concealer sinks well into the skin and blends into the fine lines without exaggerating them.
To add life and texture once you’ve got a uniform looking skin, Mary uses the CHANEL Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Powder SPF 15 /PA++ in 10, £39 (http://bit.ly/1PiDqu0) to get rid of the shine around Georgina’s nose. She knocks back the shine using the CHANEL Blush Brush No.4, £33 (http://buff.ly/1sxalWS) and blends into the skin using the CHANEL Blending Foundation Brush No.7, £34 (http://buff.ly/1sx9Uvz).
To add a tiny bit more warmth and colour to the skin, Mary then uses the CHANEL Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Rose Initiale, £31 (http://bit.ly/1PiDwBL) with a gentle touch on the cheek.
Next for a subtle eye, Mary uses the CHANEL Les 4 Ombres Multi-effects Quadra Eyeshadow in Tissé Vendome, £40 (http://buff.ly/1tjU8F0) with the CHANEL Concealer Brush No.10, £21 (http://buff.ly/219XpB7). She takes the pale, apricot shade under the brow and takes the taupe shade across the eyelid with the brush and blends out with her finger to add a soft hint of colour. Mary then uses the darker shade in the palette to lift the outside corner of the eye.
To finish the eye, Mary uses the Dimensions de CHANEL Mascara in Brown, £25 (http://buff.ly/22UX3zO), wiping off the excess off the brush to make sure there’s no clotting.
For subtly enhanced lips Mary then swipes the CHANEL Rouge Coco Stylo in Script, £26 (http://buff.ly/24CqpCz) across the lips, just like you would a lip balm.
Onto brows and Mary uses the CHANEL Crayon Sourcils Sculpting Eyebrow Pencil in Brun Naturel, £19 (http://buff.ly/1ZANZOS) and gently brushes then through to add slight but not obvious definition.
Finally. to set the eye area, Mary uses the CHANEL Foundation Brush No.6, £30 (http://buff.ly/1Ui4nU5) with the CHANEL Poudres Universelle Natural Finish Pressed Powder in 20, £33 (http://buff.ly/1tjUQSH). She then takes it round the nose and across the forehead to knock back shine and perfect the look.

big fat product placement!
The most beautiful woman. The most beautiful makeup artist.
How about for me? I'm 66. Does anybody care about makeup for me?
I can't take my eyes off Georgina! She's just so precious and sophisticated. True beauty!
So pretty! I've been watching a lot of you, Sali, Hannah, Wayne, Lisa…….so refreshing. I'm so tired of watching Americans, even the more "mature" women, with all of the contouring, baking, upwards of four eyeshadows, heavy lip liner. So sick of it. And I'm American. Really appreciate your approach and tips.
What are good colors / Products for someone who wants to conceal and cover their freckles.?
Don’t get me wrong I love my freckles. It’s just every single time I am out in the sun they get darker and I end up getting sunspots. My age is 43 and I’m finding it harder and harder to cover them up
Is it just me (my screen, maybe) or does Mary's makeup look so yellow compared to her neck? I love her btw.
Just lovely
Model its Beautiful 💜💜
All the creams in the world will NOT HELP if you don't protect your skin from the sun. I love these videos that highlight the value of sunscreen, great video
Absolutely gorgeous! The perfect look I was looking for everyday makeup. Love yours tutorials, love Chanel. And Georgina is a beautiful women, very chic, very classy.
Beautiful model. Beautiful video. I love Chanel. Thank you for this video!
that model is NOT in her 50's. She is at best in her early to mid 40's.
The pink hair has been followed by her wonderful shiny platinum. It was fun!
huge hands she got… very aggressive movements she makes… lol she even "slapped" the models face a little bit at one point… eesh
is she in a hurry or something? did too much cocaine? dont get it…
but still, even if shes kind of… you know, acting more like a constructor then a makeup artist, i still enjoyed this clip… she was funny
p.s.
awesome hair color
Lovely makeup but Chanel too expensive to buy.
Who questions Mary Greenwells use of “too much product “ ???
it’s her makeup style and nobody can question that and she’s created her own technique her way and is one of the best makeup artists on the planet !! It’s her artwork !! I absolutely love her work and I love her way too -So much love for you Mary your amazing 💕💕💕💕💕💕
i love watching ur technique…kindly share cosmetic brand which u use
I'd like to Point out that daycream or make up with SPF does not have the potential to protect your Skin from UVA or UVB rays properly!
You need about 1 gramm of sunscreen on your face in total, which is a generous squirt, depending on the consistency of the product.
You can use the SPF-make up on top of the sunscreen, the more protection the better 🙂
I think the woman getting her makeup done looks like a young version of Lee Radziwill, Jackie Kennedy's younger sister.
She's not shiny she's glowing. These comments below are very stupid.
Bravo!
Pink hair rocks, her shade on the face is a bit yellow, non?
I love watching your videos Mary but can you do makeup on TANNER women in there 50's
why do you guys post the questions if shes not going to answer them?
Bravo Mary! Whew! What a breath of fresh air you are! I DON'T want to contour or microblade my face. i just want to look fresh and beautiful. Thank you!
Amazing how Mary was able to blend in the cc cream, foundation and powder. Her skin looked absolutely beautiful.
that cc cream is fantastic!
Georgina's beauty is breath-taking! This is an amazing look.
The cc cream is a good product but way to dark for me unfortunatly.
Your pink hair is just gorgeous on you 💞
That is an astounding amount of greasy moisturizer on her face. Often women in menopause become warm and it's uncomfortable to not have your face breathe. Ever see women fanning themselves, especially their faces? Did you ever greet a friend with a kiss on the cheek and get your own cheek full of greasy makeup? It's not pleasant. She makes women look nice but she's way too heavy handed.
