Is This The Best Eye Makeup Look for Women Over 50?!

1. Apply eyeliner

First, I apply a bit of navy blue eyeliner along my lash line. I start with eyeliner because I prefer a subtle effect.

This step helps my eyelashes look thicker and defines my eyes, making them appear bigger.

To apply, gently draw a line along the lash line on both eyes. Don’t worry about precision. You can adjust and correct mistakes with a cotton bud.

2. Add lid color

Next, I use a lilac eyeshadow to make my eyes pop. Using a magnifying mirror, I apply a little bit of the color in the inner corners of my eyes. Then, I use a clean, small brush to smooth it along the lid.

3. Apply the main eyeshadow

Now, it's time for my favorite blue color. Using a brush, I start applying it from the outside and move inward towards where I applied the lilac color. I apply it to the lid and slightly above.

Once the color is on, I use a round blending brush to blend it in thoroughly, taking it above the eye. I’m not very skilled at using a pad underneath my eye, so I mop up any spills with a tissue afterward.

4. Define with a darker shade

To further define my eyes, I use a wedge brush with midnight blue. This color complements the lilac and blue colors perfectly.

I tidy up the lash line and add a bit of midnight blue to the outside corners of my eyes to give them a more defined look. After checking and adjusting as needed, I move on to the next step.

5. Curl your lashes

I always curl my lashes because I wear glasses for reading, and this helps keep my long eyelashes away from the lenses.

Though eyelash curlers can seem daunting at first, they are quite simple to use. I give my lashes a few squeezes on each side.

6. Apply mascara

Finally, I use a lovely black waterproof mascara. Since my eyes water a lot, waterproof mascara is essential.

This mascara leaves my eyelashes feeling soft, not hard or stiff. One coat is usually enough for me, but you can apply more if needed.
