How to properly apply eye shadow to older women to look younger

With the right makeup, you can hide imperfections and look much younger. This is especially true for older women, when the presence of wrinkles or sagging skin can significantly affect our appearance. We at joy-pup tell you how to apply eye shadow to older women to look younger.

Preparing the eyelids

First, apply moisturizer to the eye area to soften the skin. After this, use an eye primer to make the shadow last longer and not crease.

Selecting Shadows

Avoid highly glittery eyeshadow as it can accentuate fine lines and wrinkles. Matte or slightly satin textures are preferred.

When it comes to shades, use neutrals and natural ones that highlight the natural beauty of your eyes. For example, brown, gray, beige tones.

Shadow application technique

• Apply the light shade all over your eyelid from the lash line to the brow bone. This will create a foundation and visually open up the eye.
• Apply a medium shade to your eyelid. Gently blend the edges to create a smooth transition.
• Apply the dark shade into the crease to add depth and definition. Blend it up and out to avoid harsh lines.
• Emphasize the lower lash line. Using a light brush stroke, apply a medium to dark shade along the lower lash line for added definition.

Completing the look

Use a soft eyeliner pencil or eye shadow to define your lash line. Avoid lines that are too dark or thick.

Next, apply mascara to your upper lashes, paying special attention to the roots. Apply very little mascara to your lower lashes or avoid it altogether so as not to weigh down your look.

Gently define your brows to highlight your eyes. Use a soft brow pencil or shadow to achieve a natural look.
