Don’t know how to highlight your eyes since you’re 60 or older? A makeup artist gives us 3 easy-to-do eye makeup ideas that have a “rejuvenating” effect on the eyes.
If the marks of time are more obvious on the face after the age of 50 and the wrinkles become deeper over the months, it is indeed at the level of the glance that we can no longer ignore them from the age of 60 years. Very frequently, sagging skin around the eyelids gives the impression of drooping eyelids which closes the gaze and dulls the eyes, wrinkles under the eyes appear, and this as hollow circles deepen under the eye with the atrophy of the little fatty cushion that we had in this place and which gave us a plumped look. And that’s without counting on the famous crow’s feet wrinkles… In short, the eyes become very complex to beautify with makeup.

Eye makeup after 60: the best rejuvenating and easy-to-do makeup, according to an expert
Good news, you don’t need to be an expert in the art of applying makeup to rejuvenate your eyes by applying makeup every morning. Magali Marx lists 3 eye makeup looks that are very easy to reproduce with the eye shadows and eye pencils you have at home, to combine with a lifting mascara to accentuate this beautifying effect, or a volumizing mascara if you have fine and sparse eyelashes to thicken them.
- a gradient of eyeshadows that lifts the eyes: the expert advises to apply “a light, satin shadow on the mobile eyelid” to start, and create a clever gradient by depositing “a shadow slightly darker than the skin tone at the eyelash level and in the outer corner”. The makeup artist notes that this way of applying eye makeup is ideal for “open and lift your eyes”.
- a smoky eyes with soft colors : rather than dulling your eyes and hardening your features by covering your eyelids with dark gray or black eye shadows, Magali Marx advises making “smoky eyes in icy brown tones”, which structures the look but softens it and the facial features for a rejuvenating effect.
- a revisited eyeliner : instead of opting for a very clear line of eyeliner which risks being thwarted by fine lines at the corners of the eyes, the Clarins makeup artist recommends applying makeup by tracing “a line of black pencil at the roots of the eyelashes”which she invites to “slightly blurred” to soften the look and rejuvenate it immediately.
