Beauty Cailyn O, Wow! Brush, £12.49 amazon. co.uk totally prescriptive, here, because eyes present very different challenges. (Some of us develop crow’s feet, others crêpiness or hooded lids.) My best advice would be to make like Goldilocks and try out several different makeover options at your nearest department store, see which eye look pushes your buttons, and try to mimic the technique, then possibly – deep breath – investing in those exact products. But unless you’re 110% happy with what you see in the mirror, don’t be pressured. you’ll almost certainly need to define the shape of your eyes differently, as you age. ‘Using a dark powder shadow to create the “crease” in the socket, as you might have done when you were 20, just won’t work,” advises Terry de Gunzburg. Her preferred technique is a sheer wash of eyeshadow – for instance, a mushroom-y shade – over the lid, then focusing on eyeliner and mascara to frame the eyes. Or try Mary Greenwell’s approach: she recommends applying a light toned rose-pink on the bottom half of the top eyelid (closest to the lashes), to open up the eye area. And, Mary adds, “Don’t be frightened to play with shimmer or worry about highlighting lines and creases. It’s all about the placement and technique. Matte colours can sometimes be ageing, whereas shimmer adds luminosity and softness to the skin.” I’ve always loved this tip from the everyouthful Lulu (who I had the privilege of working with on a book some years ago). She does use powder shadow (in a grey or By Terry Terrybly Densillis Foundation, £78 for 30ml byterry. com YSL Touche Éclat, £26 yslbeauty.co.uk taupe-y shade) in the socket, but she does it using a mirror that’s a good 60cm away, so she can gauge the effect from the distance most people see you from. (Then use a hand mirror while you use a blender brush to ensure the edges are seamless.) don’t let your brows fade away. Oh, this is one of the biggest ‘age-rs’ of all: Disappearing Brow Syndrome. As the years roll by, brows become more sparse or go grey, causing the face to lose definition – because quite simply, brows are your face ‘architecture’. I often have my brows tinted (they are literally invisible naturally), and it takes me from ‘Where’s Jo?’ to ‘There’s Jo!’ When the tint fades (as it does after two weeks), I have an entire arsenal of products to fill them in. But you need to balance your brows with your eye make-up. More on your eyes means subtler brows’ less eye make-up means that you can play up your brows. Eyebrow product preference is incredibly personal. Today there are powders, gels, pencils, in many different shades. So I honestly cannot recommend too highly that you take yourself off to a Benefit counter – they’re the ‘brow kings’ – and ask a consultant there to show you which are your key products for brow enhancement in their range. They offer almost a dozen different products and a wide shade spectrum. Personally I couldn’t live without their Benefit Gimme Brow, £18, which is a tinted brow gel that grooms wayward hairs while sweeping on subtle colour, and Precisely, My Brow!, £21.50 a really fine propelling pencil for light, feathery strokes – brilliant for filling in gaps. But a PS: if you powder your face, always brush brows through afterwards with a brow brush (or an old toothbrush repurposed for the task); Mary Greenwell notes: “Otherwise, they can look dusty and dirty. And ‘clean’ brows are very important at this time in life.” Accentuate your lash-line. Forget liquid liner at this time in life. It’s fiddly and difficult to get right, even when you’re twenty-something – never mind when you have to factor in a slight shake of the hands. Use a liner pencil instead – and as Mary Greenwell advises, “apply it along the natural lash line, getting right into the roots of the lashes.” She adds: “When using an eyeliner, always build the liner up slowly, focusing on the outer corners of the eyes. Step back and take a second look, and you can always add more until you’re happy with the overall shape.” (Echoes of Lulu’s wisdom, above.) Avoid eyelash clump. The No. 1 Baby Jane/Barbara Cartland make-up nightmare. Be sure to work the mascara into the roots of your lashes – try a zig-zaggy movement – because that’s what really creates the illusion of length. But the big challenge is that eyelashes tend to become more sparse over time – hence the risk of spikiness, because there are simply wider gaps between the lashes. This is the time to get into the habit (if you haven’t already) of wiping your mascara wand on a tissue before applying to your eyes. If you do get clumps, don’t touch them; if you try to wipe mascara away, your fingers are more likely to push the lashes together. Invest in what’s called a ‘spool’ brush, which looks like a mascara wand, to sweep through – or thoroughly wash and dry an old mascara wand and keep it handy for tarantula emergencies. Watch – and learn. I’d also point you in the direction of some fab online tutorials for older faces. Lisa Eldridge does these particularly well; she has a raft of watchable and instructive how-to videos on her website lisaeldridge.com. Prop an iPad up in front of your mirror, and follow her make-up lessons. Genius. And remember: less isn’t always more. There’s one exception to the rule, according to Bobbi Brown. “If you’ve never worn make-up, it’s never too late to start. We may tend to get washed out as we age – but make-up makes up for that.” Hear, hear.
