BEAUTY
50
As you reach your 50s, you may notice more
obvious changes in your skin’s appearance as
lines and wrinkles become more etched, eye bags are more pronounced and eyelids
under-
seem to sag that little bit more. But with the
right techniques, your eye makeup game can
still be just as strong as ever.
Using an eye cream that boosts collagen
production and cell turnover is vital. Look
for ingredients like peptides, vitamin C and
antioxidants to help improve elasticity and
target signs of ageing.
When dealing with dark circles or shadows
under the eyes, use a lightweight, moisturising
and easily blendable concealer that provides
good coverage without creasing into lines. Opt
for cream or gel-based eyeshadows that won’t
settle into fine lines, and choose neutral, matte
shades that complement your skin tone.
To address thinning or sparse eyebrows,
opt for a subtle brow powder or pencil to
fill in gaps and make small, natural-looking
strokes. For eyelashes, consider curling them
to enhance the appearance of length without
weighing them down. Using a volumising,
clump-free mascara that’s easily buildable
will also help in achieving a fuller look.
