THE *BEST* LIFTING EYELINER TRICK/TECHNIQUE FOR MATURE WOMEN | Risa Does Makeup

Soften the liner: Harsh lines can be unflattering on mature eyes. Instead of a sharp wing, try blending the liner with a smudge brush to create a softer, smokier look. YouTube You can also use eyeshadow in a similar color to the liner to further soften the line.

Tightlining: Tightlining involves applying eyeliner along the upper waterline (the base of the lash line). This can help to define the lash line and make the lashes appear fuller, without creating a harsh line on the eyelid. YouTube Use a waterproof liner for tightlining to prevent smudging.

Line the outer two-thirds: Instead of lining your entire eyelid, try starting the liner at the outer third of your eye and extending it outwards. This can help to elongate the eye shape and create a lifting effect. YouTube

Focus on color: Black eyeliner can be quite harsh on mature eyes. Consider using a softer brown, charcoal, or even a dark green or blue liner. Experiment to find a color that complements your eye color.

Use high-quality products: As you get older, your eyelids can become more crepey. Using a high-quality, long-lasting eyeliner can help to prevent smudging and creasing. Look for waterproof or water-resistant formulas.

Sharpen your pencils: A blunt eyeliner pencil can be difficult to control and can lead to smudging. Sharpen your pencils regularly to create a precise line.

Consider using eyeshadow: Eyeshadow can be a great way to add definition to your eyes without the harshness of eyeliner. Apply a dark eyeshadow close to the lash line and blend it outwards for a softer look.


By following these tips, you can create an eyeliner look that is both flattering and age-appropriate.
