Makeup for Mature Eyes

Hello gorgeous readers!

I'd like to start off this blog talking about makeup for mature eyes. Makeup on our eyes can be tricky when we age. When the skin sags and creases, it makes the eyes look smaller and the makeup techniques that were once done, don't really work anymore. It's said that the secret to make the eyes look bigger is eyeliner BUT using eyeliner on mature eyes can actually make mature eyes look older.

Mature women experience sagging due to the natural aging process. The good news is, it can be reversed with just a few makeup tips and a little bit of patience. :)

• First, you'd want to find a  liquid foundation that matches your skin tone the best.

• Next, find a translucent powder.

• Then you will want an eye shadow brush, a small makeup sponge, a small cotton ball, and an eyelash curler. It may sound like a lot, but it will help in lifting mature eyes.

• Now, you'd want an eye shadow color that is a medium color. Something like a light to medium brown or a copper color.

•  Look for an eyeliner that is a light brown color.

• Next, a black/brown colored mascara.

Now let the fun begin!

1. First thing that you will want to do is apply the liquid foundation to your face and importantly, a little dab on the eye area. This will be like a base for your eyeshadow.

2. Now, you will want to take a sponge and dip it in the translucent powder. Take the sponge and apply it from the base of the eye to the top of the eye where the foundation was applied. This helps smooth out the skin in the area of the eye.

3. Next, take the eye pencil and start on the inside of the lid at the top and then you'd want to outline outwards. You should outline the top and bottom of the eye with the pencil. Now the trick is when you get to the outside of the eye, you'd want to kind of draw up the line. This will bring out the appearance that the eyes are lifted.

4. Reapply some eye shadow to increase the effect of lifted mature eyes.

5. Now, take the eyelash curler, and curl up your top eyelashes. Once you do this, let your mascara dry, and then curl them again.
