If you've got mature eyes, consider a matte eye shadow. "When it comes to eye shadows, matte textures are the best choice for mature skin," shares Los Angeles-based makeup artist Tamara Delbridge. "They offer opaque coverage, which helps conceal the darkening of the lids common in aging eyes."
For a colorful and easy way to achieve a '70s eye makeup look, try putting a matte nude-brown eyeshadow all over your eye, a shimmery golden yellow on the inner corner of your eye, bright blue eyeshadow in your crease, and smudge a forest green eyeshadow under your lower lashes.
Deep set eyes tend to look set back, so you want to make them appear bigger and more at the forefront. To do this, you'll want to be light-handed, going for a small line of liner on the lash line. Pro tip: don't apply your liner too close to the inner corner as that can make eyes appear smaller.
Apply a light eyeshadow color on your lids and under your brows. Select a neutral eyeshadow that is 1-2 shades paler than your skin tone. Use an eyeshadow brush to apply the palest color just beneath your eyebrows. You can use the same color on your lids, or you can use an eyeshadow that is one shade darker.
DON'T wear mascara on your lower lashes. Playing up your lower lashes can make your eyes look droopy and draw attention to dark circles. It makes the eyes look older and accentuates the under eye wrinkles.
My advice in this instance is to either forego using frosted and shimmery shadows for the time being or to use them sparingly. For a wonderful matte eye shadow palette try Jane Iredale's Daytime Eyeshadow Palette.
Using a cream shadow versus powder can give you a smoother texture, which can be difficult to achieve when working with mature skin. "I love using cream textures on older women as they appear more hydrating and don't accentuate fine lines around the eyes that powder eyeshadow can at times," Rebecca explains.
You could choose Taupe, Cocoa or Rose Gold. Finally, use your darkest shade in the outer corner of the eyes to create a sultry, elongated almond shape. Opt for shades like Chocolate or Dusky Pink and build lightly in layers.
"There are several options to intensify the bottom lashes and get the look Twiggy was so known for," says Živanović. "One would be with mascara. The key is to use a formula that gives a lot of volume. Apply a few coats and then use tweezers to gently 'squeeze' bottom lashes together and create little lash clusters."
If you have deep set eyes, it is best to use light shade of eyeshadow. Dip your rounded brush into your shadow, and lightly dust your eyeshadow over your entire eyelid. You can gradually add more pigment to your eye by applying multiple light layers of shadow.
Anti-aging – look for anti-aging ingredients like retinols, peptides, and alpha-hydroxy acids that smooth, tighten, and strengthen skin. Sun protection – avoid sun damage that can increase the development of fine lines, wrinkles, and crepey skin around the eyes by applying sun protection.
What Should You Not Do With Eyeliner? DON'T line your whole eye. DON'T tight line your waterline on top and bottom.
In many cultures, the almond eye is considered the most beautiful and favorable. Many people who do not have an almond shaped eye choose to undergo common and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures to improve the aesthetics of the eye.
Opt for a soft and easy-to-apply gel liner and use a fine-pointed eyeliner brush. Start at the inner corner of the eye and draw a thin line along the lash line towards the outer corner. Then, using the brush, create a small flick at the end.
