Prime Lash Mascara For Older Women over 50, Without Caking Waterproof Mascara Black, Volumizing Eyelash Growth Serum for Mature Women with Sensitive Eyes (2pcs)

Product Information

If you have creased lids and don't feel confident with a gel eyeliner, then opt for kohl and apply it as close to the lash line as you possibly can, dotting the pencil rather than dragging it. Brown or a soft grey pencil can be a less severe option.

So how do we test? There are certain things that we look out for when testing any new mascara that lands in our laps. We're interested in things like the wand - bristle type and shape; the effect on lashes - whether it adds volume or length (or both?!); the formula - can you feel it on your lashes or does it nourish those tiny hairs? and finally the price. Use an eyelid primer. It's designed to keep your eyeshadow in place but equally suitable for the delicate skin under your eyes. Dot a little on to smooth out any fine lines.

This not only provides coverage but it helps to deflect light away from the areas you don't want to draw attention to. We've trialled and tested so many mascaras over the years that we've genuinely lost count. From Bobbi Brown's Smokey Eye Mascara– a cult classic – to Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes, which has taken the industry by storm, we've done our fieldwork. And what we can definitively say is that the best mascaras really do have transformative effects. Do make sure you apply eyeshadow with a small, soft brush and blend it - a cotton bud is ideal - just to smudge it a little so that the colour doesn't look like it’s been crayoned on. And then of course, the next decision is do you need a long-wearing, hardy waterproof formula? If you have watery eyes or are prone to smudginess, you may want to opt to shop a waterproof (or at the very least water-resistant) buy. The best tips for applying mascara

Always apply after foundation and not before. That way you'll only use what you need and it will look more natural. Whether you want a bright, bold colour or a translucentgloss for a subtle shine, this product is perfect for special occasions.When it comes to mascara, everyone has their own preference in what they are searching for. Personally, I love a full and voluminous lash look, combined with a formula that doesn't flake throughout the day and won't transfer onto my eyelid. A lot to ask for, I know. Long, lengthy lashes are usually a favourite. My go-to is Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara, but I am always testing new releases to find the very best out there, because who doesn't want to find the best mascara? Before applying your mascara, make sure your lashes are clean and free of product so that the mascara stays put. The bottom line is that age is irrelevant when it comes to dark and defined lashes but there are some things to consider before choosing a mascara that's right for you.

Unless you suffer with oily skin (and possibly even if you do), you should try to avoid using a powder. In the past we were taught not to shine, but these days, shine is 'glow'. These contain several products in one, such as concealer and SPF, and are great for those who need next to no coverage, as they are primarily for prevention and maintenance. They hydrate and firm skin, protect it from environmental damage and lightly cover blemishes.

Max Factor Natural Brow Styler Clear Eyebrow: £5.99, Superdrug

If you have blemishes or dark circles under your eyes that you would rather not be on show, then pop a bit of concealer on after you've applied your foundation, BB or CC cream. Here are our top tips for applying concealer: This is the best mascara for all of your lash needs. It does everything: lifts, lengthens, defines andadds volume. Transforming your lashes in every way, it's infused with vitamin B5 to condition and nourish lashes (plus, it makes it super easy to remove). CC creams, or 'colour correcting' creams, are a lighter version of foundation while still having more coverage than BB creams. They prime and even out your skin tone, and often have hydrating benefits, making them ideal for mature skin and those concerned with age spots. Nourish and revitalize your skin's appearance with CC cream, specially formulated to reduce the signs of ageing. If you're confused by the difference between them then you're not alone; here's what each product doesand how to best use them.

Apply an eye lid primer. As your skin gets thinner with age, you'll notice that your eyelids will develop a translucency and uneven skin tone. Dot a primer onto lids before you apply any hint of colour. Because a smokey eye is such a good look at any age, it's almost foolproof. After all, it's not supposed to be precise. And, best of all, you don't have to play by any rules - budget buys are often just as good as more expensive brands when it comes to brow products. Go for a natural shade to line the outside of your lip and achieve a fuller look. Going for a shade that's too dark will leave you with a harsh outline if your lippy does start to wear off. As for your bottom lashes, turn the brush vertically. "The thinner end will help you control your application with more precision," Charlotte adds.

❷ Clinique High Impact Mascara

A lightweight, affordable foundation that gives good coverage and glides over fine lines and wrinkles. Word to the wise though - don't whip it up to your ears; you're aiming for a healthy looking flush, not a Sable Colby lookalike. If you have very thin brows, it's best to leave them alone entirely or go for a shade or two down - it's better to have a whisper of definition than an awkward-looking line. Another great product is brow gel, which you can use to set your brow pencil, feather your brows or add some colour to them. If your hands are somewhat unsteady then you'll benefit from using a smaller brush - a bigger wand will make a mess in shaky hands.
