"As we age the needs and characteristics of our skin change and we start to experience dryness, loss of elasticity, sagging skin, crepey eyelids, crows feet and thinning lashes," says celebrity makeup artist, Gita Bass. "Makeup is a wonderful tool to hide these aging signs, as long as we adapt our formulas and techniques to hide and not accentuate the negative features."
What's maybe the biggest problem for women with mature skin? Eye makeup. In addition to being the windows to our souls, our eyes are often one of the first places to reveal the years of wear and tear we've put on our faces. Fortunately makeup — as long as you're armed with the right products and techniques — can go a long way to take years off of your peepers.
"I think women get stuck in a beauty rut and have been doing the same makeup for years, so they feel comfortable with a particular look," Bass explains. "They would be amazed at the transformation if they experimented with some new techniques."
To ensure your eyes look phenomenal at every age, we've teamed up with three of the best celebrity makeup artists in the biz to tackle the biggest eye makeup mistakes with foolproof tips on makeup for older women. Just because we age, doesn't mean we have to give up makeup right? Add these tools and tricks to you repertoire to instantly lift droopy lids, brighten tired eyes and flatter mature skin.
