here is the worst mistake to make when applying eye makeup after 60, according to an expert

The eye area concentrates signs of aging such as crow’s feet wrinkles at the corners of the eyes and fine lines under the eyes. It is also an area where sagging skin is particularly visible because the skin there is very thin and fragile. It is therefore not uncommon to have drooping eyelids after 60 years, even when we didn’t have this problem in our thirties.

This is why it is essential to avoid “to accentuate the “drooping” effect of the eyelids” when we put on makeup. This would be one of the worst makeup mistakes to make at 60 according to Magali Marx, make up artist for Clarins. To properly apply makeup on drooping eyelids, she specifically advises against “to apply a pencil or shadow in a downward motion”. And yet, this error which closes the eyes and ages the entire face, quickly happens when you are not a professional makeup artist.

Drooping eyelids: the expert tip to avoid accentuating them after 60

To prevent us from making the worst eye makeup mistake after 60, without depriving ourselves of our eye shadow which brings a touch of color to our make-up or our eye pencil which gives intensity to the eyes , Magali Marx has her tip that definitely works. “To avoid this, look straight ahead in front of a mirror.” when putting on your makeup, she advises us. Then, “position a pencil that starts from the corner of the nose to the tip of the eyebrow and see how far your shadow or pencil should stop at the outer corner of the eye” she adds, revealing this unstoppable trick to us. Then, all you have to do is use your favorite eye shadow palette or eye pencil, not going beyond this invisible line. Guaranteed lifting effect on the eyes!
