today we're going to do a simple eye makeup look for mature eyes and I'm
going to show you a really easy eyeliner trick that'll give you an instant eye
lift hi I'm Schellea and welcome to Fabulous 50's today's makeup tutorial is
just for you if you've got loose skin on your eyelids and above your eyelids kind
of a bit wrinkly and a bit saggy and I'm going to show you some techniques that
are going to give you a lift and it's really simple and easy to do okay let's
get started the first thing with every eye makeup is to prime your eyes and
what that's going to do is it's going to make sure that your eyeshadow doesn't
crease and it also improves the intensity of the color and because this
is just a simple eye makeup look we're going to use the Sigma eye base this is
really quick and easy you just glide it on and tap it in and what this product
does is it gets rid of all the discoloration in your eyes so tap it in
and it covers everything I'm just going to use a light color on the lid and this
will just intensify that eyelid a little bit more then I'm going to go in on the
crease just to give me a little bit of definition but because it's for the
daytime I don't want to go too much I'm just going to cut that crease in there a
little bit and it's just soft and subtle
so basically what you're doing is you're finding the bone and you're going across
and coming down to the last eyelash across and down across and down to the
lifestyle lash you don't want to come out too far particularly if you've got
loose skin here on your eyelids because all that's going to do is drag your eye
down so you want to keep the whole look upwards and you can darken this as much
as you like but I just like to keep it very soft okay that's all it is it's
very simple and then I like to go into the center of my lid with a lighter
color like this and just gently put a little bit of color there and what
that's going to do is it's going to bring that part of my eye out and make
it look bigger now the trick with this look is the eye liner and I'm going to
show you how to do eyeliner that suits mature eyes particularly these wrinkly
parts here we can't do our eyeliner the same as the girls who are in their 20s
and 30s and this is taught because it's a completely different thing our eyes
don't go out like this they move our eye smooth it's something
we've got to live with but I'm going to show you how to get a really good lift
without looking silly I'm going to demonstrate this look using eyeshadow
instead of eyeliner but you can use a liquid eyeliner you can use a pen
eyeliner or you can use eye shadow if you're practicing eyeshadows much much
easier and it's softer and if you've got minimal eyelashes and your fair use a
light gray or a medium gray because that will suit you beautifully and as your
intensity of the color of your eyes go up you can go darker okay take your
finger and just hold your eye like this and you've got to find the last eyelash
and you draw a line upwards okay like that you find your last eyelash but
don't go to the left of it you stick at the last eyelash and go up
from there we come down like this can you see that and you're forming a
triangle this is where the trick is so you feel that triangle in and see here
there's nothing on this side at all it's just a straight line and a triangle what
that's going to do is it's kind of like it's lifting my eye if I had gone
further out here my line would have been drawn down by this loose skin which many
of us ladies have as we're getting older it's very very loose so we don't want to
be adding lines to there and that's why the young girls can get away with it
because their skins taut like this okay and from here we follow the lash line
tightly all the way to the inner corner
okay that's a look we've got a lift on this eye and you can see my eyes
naturally turn downwards so it's given me an instant lift I'll do the other eye
so you go in and you draw a line you can see how that tiny line has already
lifted my eye so we're going to go in and feel the triangle in
keep it very tight on the eyelash and you can go whatever thickness you like
if you're not used to wearing much makeup just keep this really really fine
and you can experiment with all the different thicknesses you'll find that
using an eyeshadow primer really helps keep an eye shadow liner stay put and
it's a lot softer than using eyeliner take your brush and add a bit more
eyeshadow and then just gently line underneath the eyelashes and join those
lines up okay the next step is to grab an eyelash curler and grab your lashes
and just tilt towards your nose and then just pump it a few times I do about 10
that gives my eyelashes a really nice curl and release and do the other side
as you twist it it keeps them staying cold for longer I find rather than just
hold it and push it up so try that for yourself and let me know if it works for
you and then apply mascara I use at the moment I'm using Marc Jacobs this is a
really good one it's very thickening and lengthening so when you're doing mascara
do a zigzag from the bottom of the lash to the end and that helps grab the
mascara so it looks a little bit thicker
while I'm waiting for this coat of mascara to dry I'm going to add a nude
eyeliner to the waterline of my eyes and what this does is it brings your eyes
out it makes them look bigger so you just line the waterline and it doesn't
come off which is amazing that's one eye and then the other eye then you can go
back in and grab a little bit of eyeshadow and just add a bit of color
under Neath your eyes I'm just adding a little bit of that Brown that I used in
the crease just a tiny bit go on with my second coat of mascara I think when
you're going out two coats of mascara is a must because it just gives us more
definition and when you're older having your eyes defined really makes a big
difference so get the mascara out and don't be afraid to put a lot on okay
that's two coats of mascara and then I'm just going to take my NARS pencil again
and go over this inner corner of my eye on the outside and pretty much everyone
looks better with I've got their eyebrows filled in so if you've got thin
eyebrows like me make sure that you fill in the gaps just gently and give them a
brush because it makes your whole face look more in proportion I've done a
video on exactly how to do your eyebrows and the points where you mark them and
I'll link that above for you so you can see how to do that if you're not sure so
brush them up and you look a little bit more put together on my lips today I'm
wearing the NYX or lingerie push-up pencil and I'm just going to add a
little bit to my cheeks and I'll rub that in so that's going to give me a bit
of a colour-pop and when you add a little bit
of color you bring life to your face and on top of that I'm going to put my
Charlotte Tilbury flawless filter lay that on top of my cheekbones to give me
a beautiful Sheen and jewy look and then you just layer it like that and see it's
given me that beautiful Sheen not sparkly not glittery not even noticeable
to anybody else except you you just look beautiful and useful I really hope that
was useful for you you can use any eyeliner that you have or an eyeshadow
just practice it and try the lift let me know if you've tried it and it worked
for you because I'm pretty sure it will please give a thumbs up if you enjoyed
