Mastering eyeliner on mature eyes begins with these simple steps
Beauty may well be in the eye of the beholder, but eyeliner hiccups are in the eye of everyone, and applying it incorrectly is undoubtedly turning it one of the makeup mistakes that are aging you even more. That’s why prepping the eye area properly becomes essential as skin matures.
To join the ranks of celebs that are confronting aging with confidence in no time, “Always cleanse and hydrate the eye area,” Viola advises, “preferably using products that contain hyaluronic acid.” This wellness wonder is a must-have skincare ingredient for dry skin, as it plumps the visage and diminishes the look of fine lines. After hydration, she recommends applying a primer to prevent creasing, followed by “a little dab of concealer to even out any discoloration.” A light layer of translucent helps absorb excess oil and lock everything into place.
As for the liner itself, Viola suggests opting for a high-pigment pencil rather than a liquid, to “create a defined line without being too harsh.” For a final flourish, she suggests softly running a bit of powder eye shadow over the liner with a small buffer brush: “this blurring effect softens the eyeliner resulting in a much more natural and youthful look.”
