To enlarge the eyes after 50, this professional makeup artist technique is second to none.
After the age of fifty, the look tends to lose its intensity: the eyelids become heavier and the small signs of aging take a lasting hold. While many women resort to expensive anti-aging treatments or consider cosmetic procedures, makeup artists have a completely different secret. Indeed, there is a little-known professional technique that allows you to enlarge your eyes and give yourself a real boost of radiance in just a few seconds. By changing just one small detail in your makeup routine, you can compensate for sagging eyelids. Forget everything you thought you knew about applying your usual makeup: this foolproof method focuses everything on a natural feature of your eyelashes, often forgotten.
With this expert technique, nothing too complicated. Simply a gesture sometimes overlooked. Every day, your routine is the same: you apply everything you need for a peachy complexion, then you move on to your eyes. Eyeshadow, pencil… Everything goes! But it is indeed when taking care of the eyelashes that you have to be careful: “After the age of fifty, you shouldn’t hesitate to overload on mascara, it will really open up your eyes.” explains Mathieu Grandjean Makeup Artist and Trainer at Nars. And to add: “Don’t forget the eyelash curler first, I always say that.“
But the key point of makeup according to the professional is above all the outer eyelashes, often wrongly left aside. “We put a lot of product on the entire eyelid, neglecting the outer corner. I see this very often. Here, we generally have eyelashes much longer than average, and it is this application that gives the famous doe look“, he confides. We told you: it’s incredibly easy, you just have to think about it!
For the final touch, Mathieu Grandjean recommends finishing the eye line with dark pencil in the upper mucous membrane of the eye. An “essential” for the professional. No need to cheat anymore: with this pro tip, your eyes will regain all their power and radiance.
