The Greatest Grandma Makeovers
While the beauty communities of YouTube and Instagram are dominated by millennials, they’re doing some impressive stuff for the older generations, too. The Grandma Does My Makeup Challenge brought the grandmothers of different YouTubers onto the video platform for the first time — and now they’re coming back for more. The grandma of Croatian makeup artist Tea Flego is just one example of the magic of cosmetics on mature skin, and people are certainly loving her looks. But Grandma Livia, also known as Glam-Ma, isn’t the only fabulous grandmother getting her face done.

Glam-Ma made her debut on Flego’s Instagram almost two years ago, setting a standard for beautified women everywhere, including those at her residence. “She’s become a mascot in the nursing home — her friends call her a star,” Flego told Today.
This grandma glam has hit the pages of other makeup artists’s social media, who are showing off just how beautiful their older relatives are. And although the women are wearing makeup like pros, for some, this is the first time they’ve worn product in a while.
Taylor Trimble is an 18-year-old makeup artist who decided to surprise her own grandmother with some glam, though it proved to be a bit difficult. “She hasn’t worn makeup in years,” Trimble told Buzzfeed regarding her grandma’s makeover. “She kept blowing her nose and wiping her eyes while I was trying to put the makeup on, so it was a bit of a challenge.” Regardless, her 97-year-old grandma looks flawless.

YouTuber Tori Ross got her grandmother to sit (and even dance) in front of the camera for this beautiful transformation.
Beauty guru, By Alyssaa, topped her grandma’s look off with some setting spray, and she didn’t even flinch.

And the inspiring looks don’t end there. YouTuber Kandee Johnson and celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic have tested their skills with mature skin on their gorgeous mothers.
