Unlock the Secrets to Youthful Eyes: Pro Makeup Artists Share Tips for Women Over 50
When it comes to achieving a lifted and youthful appearance, mastering the art of eye makeup becomes key. Professional makeup artists Mandie Brice and Natasha Moor, founder of Natasha Moor Cosmetics, reveal three timeless and flattering eye makeup hacks tailored for women over 50.
**1. Elevated Elegance: Applying Eyeliner to the Top Lid Only**
Eyeliner has transformative powers, and for women over 50, a minimalist approach to its application is crucial. Mandie Brice recommends focusing on the top lid, avoiding heavy application around the entire eye. A light touch on the outer two-thirds of the top lid creates an open, lifted look. For an extra lift, Brice suggests adding a brightening highlighter to the inner corner of the eye.
**2. Brow Perfection: Opting for Cream or Powder**
Mature beauties, take note – filling in your eyebrows is more science than art. Brice advises using geometry to find specific points for a natural look. A cream or powder is preferred over a pencil for its blending ease and natural appearance. Following geometric points, use a slightly lighter shade and refine the tail first before filling in sparse areas.
**3. ‘Wiggle & Lift’ Mascara Magic for Instant Eye Lift**
Natasha Moor shares a game-changing mascara technique for the illusion of an eye lift. After curling lashes, apply mascara close to the waterline for both top and bottom lashes. The ‘Wiggle & Lift’ technique involves wiggling the wand and lifting for a chiseled effect. Moor recommends a slightly tapered wand to lift lashes on the inner and outer corners, creating the illusion of a lifted face.
