Eyeliner for over 40

[Anonymous]

I’m 55 and have hooded eyes. A few things have worked for me.

Tight lining with a waterproof eyeliner

Using brown liquid liner and not dragging it, but tapping the line instead

Creating a soft wing… this really helps the most

Also make sure your eyebrow isn’t pointing down at the far edge. This really drags your eyes down

If you add eyeshadow, place it above the crease

I’m in my 40s with hooded eyes.

The thing that works for me is putting more focus on my lashes. I get extensions biweekly - just single lashes and not very long, nothing dramatic! - and the thickness and color at the lash line really define my eyes.

It’s expensive but I love not using any eye makeup daily. My entire makeup routine can now be done in less than 2 min - tinted moisturizer, blush, occasional concealer or eyebrow powder. Lips get a swipe of tinted balm I keep in my purse.

45YO here. I was mistaken for "around 30" yesterday I use the Loreal Infallible eyeliner starting the line as small as I can get right above my pupil and dragging it to the outside of my eye, making the line wider as I go. This particular eyeliner has a nice wedge-shaped silicone eraser type thing that makes it super easy and quick to blend. It's also the only eyeliner I have found that stays perfect all day.

I find it’s way easier to tightline with liquid liner than pencil.

Have you tried Lashify? It may be less expensive than getting them done at a salon every two weeks.

I actually haven’t tried them because I’m too lazy to deal with any fake lashes but I did research the best options and this seemed like a good one.
