It’s the simple thing that restructures the look and smoothes the features.
With age, beauty habits evolve. We keep the same products, we repeat familiar gestures, then we realize that the result no longer has the shine it once had. Makeup artists see it every day: eyelashes become thinner, the mobile eyelid loses a little hold and certain techniques that worked perfectly end up hardening the lines. This is why experts are now offering an alternative that promises to refresh the eyes. And the good news is that it is very easy to apply.
Indeed, after the age of 50, the question of the eye contour comes up again and again, a sign that this precise point of makeup is no longer as intuitive over the years. In their practice, professional makeup artists notice the same difficulties: a dark line that attracts too much attention, a color that contrasts too strongly or a less clear result when the eyelid becomes more mobile. To respond to this, they now prefer more supple textures, easy to work with and adapted to the delicacy of the skin. The gel formulas, which modulate without sticking, allow a precise or delicately blended line, depending on the desired effect.
Indeed, these textures avoid irregularities and offer progressive application. They do not mark dry areas and allow you to obtain a line that blends into the base of the eyelashes. Makeup artist Jenna Anton sums up this approach well by reminding us that, “unlike black, which can give a harsh look or accentuate fine lines, brown eyeliner offers a more open and natural look.” It is this shade that is often enough to balance the contrast and visually brighten the white of the eye.
Professionals also emphasize the application technique: apply the material to the eyelashes, then blend it slightly to give volume without a graphic effect. A method which enlarges the eye, especially when combined with a coat of mascara aimed at accentuating the density of the eyelashes. To remember.
