Eye Make Up Ideas for Mature Women

Eye make up ideas for mature women are very special.

There are some simple but very definite rules.

  • Matching eye shadow to your eyes or outfit is as old as the hills and looks it too.
  • Heavy eyeliner looks hard and is old fashioned anyway.
  • Eye shadows in bright colours don't look great on crepey eye lids and sparkly or glitter shadows should be binned.
Clarins Eye Pencil - No. 05 Kaki 1.2g/0.04oz

Beautiful eye make up enhances and defines in the most subtle way.

But how many of us are using the same old ideas even though the effect is less than perfect, or only looks good on our very best days

Fact is, as our skin changes and eye lids become droopy or crepey, we need some inspired input on applying eye make up. Which tools? How? What kind of shadows and most important of all which colours?

Preparing the Canvas

Lets begin by preparing the eye area with an anti aging eye cream or gel. Use a lighter one for daytime under make up and a rich cream to hydrate this delicate area at night.

Becca Compact Concealer Medium & Extra Cover - # Mallow 3g/0.07oz

Try a yellowy toned concealer under eyes and in the inner sockets above the nose, even if you think you don't have dark circles. The brightening effect on the whole face is amazing. Some women find a light dusting of powder good on the lid to begin and others find a light layer of foundation better. Experiment to find out what works best on your eyelids

The brushes, eyelash curlers and other tools that I recommend can be found at The Online Beauty Spot

Silky Matt Shadows

When choosing eye shadows go for two soft matt colours that compliment each other. The new fine milled powder shadows are soft and velvety, very kind to crepey skin. Lovely colours are soft browns, beige, khaki, sand and taupe.

Givenchy Prisme Again! Eyeshadow Quartet - # 2 Brown Caress 4g/0.14oz Givenchy Prisme Again! Eyeshadow Quartet - # 2 Brown Caress 4g/0.14oz

Dust on the lighter colour in a wedge shape from the outside to the inner corner of your eyelid.

Blend in the slightly deeper colour close to your eye lashes. Take a very soft eye liner pencil, like the one from Clarins above with a smudging sponge on the other end.

Draw a line from the outer corner along close to the lashes into the inner corner.

Then smudge the outer corner into a wider line. To finish highlight the brow bone with a bone coloured eye shadow

Open Your Eyes!

Eyelash curlers are an indespensible tool. They open the eyes by curling the lashes upwards so they can be seen. Straight or downward looking lashes close the eyes. You will be amazed at the difference. One or two coats of luxurious lash lengthening mascara, only very lightly on the lower lashes and the magic is complete.

How long is it since you included your eyebrows in your make up routine? Don't neglect your eyebrows. There are lots of ways to add definition to sparse eyebrows with the right tools and colours.

If you have never been able to master the magic of make up this 10 Step make Up Guide could be all you need. Take a look.

These eye make up ideas can be whittled down to 5 minutes daily or extended to include a little more shadow and a light smudgy lower line for evenings. Not too dark, not too heavy.

Beautiful eye make up draws attention to the eyes, not the less than perfect eyelids. Subtle but stunning.

Experiment until it works for you. Don't settle for less.

Make yor eyes smile!
