Age is not only experience and knowledge, but also characteristic changes in appearance, alas, not for the better. It is not always possible to restore your former appearance with the help of creams and cosmetic procedures. But all women want to be beautiful, regardless of the date of birth, so some defects can be easily masked with makeup. Age-related hanging eyelids is the most popular problem and, fortunately, they have already learned how to get rid of it, or rather, mask it. How it's done? We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the detailed instructions for creating age-related makeup for the impending century, presented in the article.
Basic rules and regulations
Initially, the make-up was designed to mask the flaws of the face and increase the dignity. That is why there are many techniques that are designed for this or that.a different type of eyes, a certain color type, a specific face shape. Since today we are discussing age-related makeup for the impending century, it is worth considering the basic rules for applying it.
- If the eyebrows are moderately thick, well-groomed and beautiful, they will attract the eye, distracting from the imperfection of the upper eyelid. Therefore, take care of your eyebrows, nourish them with oils, comb and carefully paint over, giving a natural and sleek look.
- Immediately arm yourself with an eyeshadow palette that will perfectly suit your natural color and at the same time will consist of similar non-contrasting shades. The fact is that if you rely on contrast, then your crease above the eye will become even more noticeable. Therefore, you should give preference to soft tones and smooth transitions.
- Since we do age-related makeup for the impending century, you should pay attention to muted, pastel colors. They can be warm if your color type is the same, or cold (for gray eyes and blond hair), or maybe neutral, as they suit everyone. But do not rely on bright, flashy tones. Firstly, it violates the previous rule, and secondly, it will look out of place in adulthood.
- The lower eyelid is also worked out in this technique, using a gray or brown pencil. Then you need to carefully shade everything and make a smooth transition to the shadows located on the upper eyelid.
Age makeup is not arrows and red lipstick at all. This is meticulous work that must be done with pinpoint precision.
Taboo
What should not be in age makeup with an overhanging eyelid? Women will have to follow many unspoken rules, but knowing them is only half the battle. You will also have to familiarize yourself with the list of taboos. What about them?
- Black color. Avoid this shade at all costs, both as an eyeliner and as a regular pigment. It will make the look even more gloomy and depressed, moreover, it will emphasize the flaws. Therefore, if you need to highlight something, use either gray or dark brown.
- No loose pigments, liquid shadows and eyeliners. All these beauty products are designed for young girls whose eyelids still look perfect. If there are wrinkles, then any of the above means will emphasize them and make them even more expressive. In addition, the image of a woman of age does not tolerate such familiarity.
- Give up shimmery shadows, choose better matte. They will hide wrinkles, and lie more evenly, and will look more worthy.
Varieties and variations
Age makeup for women over 50 is a whole science. It is important to kill not two, but several birds with one stone in one fell swoop: hide flaws, find and emphasize advantages, choose the type and palette that ideally suits the face, while making the make-up bright and expressive. But at the same time, it cannot be the same for everyone. Like young girls, mature women wear light, translucent paints for work; they use morerich palette and contrasting combinations. All the subtleties should be caught and mastered, and we will help you with this. We suggest considering several options for age-related makeup for the impending century and choose the one that you like best.
Casual make-up
In this version, only pastel, soft and light colors will be used. You can take as a basis a nude palette: it suits everyone. You can also use brown or gray palettes. So, we present everyday age makeup for the impending century. Step by step instructions:
- With shadows that are a couple of tones darker than the color of the skin, draw a new crease, placing it above the overhanging one, that is, as if above it.
- Draw a gray or brown pencil along the growth of the cilia and shade this line.
- The movable eyelid and that part of the fold that turned out to be under the drawn dark arc, paint over with body shadows.
- Using the pencil you used to line your upper lash line, line your lower eyelid and blend the line.
- Use light shadows to fill in the inner corner of the eye and mark the area under the eyebrow.
- Now curl your lashes with a curler and apply mascara.
Festive variations
Making a solemn age-related make-up for the impending century is a little more difficult than mastering the previous version. The technique is based on the famous smoky eyes, but only usewe will not be black and gray tones, but softer and more natural shades.
- As in the previous version, we determine the location of the imaginary fold. It will definitely be higher than the real one and its location is somewhere at the bottom of the motionless eyelid. We draw it with the help of gray, dark brown or burgundy shadows (choose a shade based on the color type and your image).
- Next, apply darker shadows along the growth of the eyelashes and slightly bring them out like an arrow.
- We work on the lower eyelid with the same dark shadows, shade it and bring it out again. You should get two shadow arrows. They will not be dense, but as if ephemeral, translucent. Also, a distance is formed between them, which, in turn, creates the effect of a cat's gaze.
- Now "fill" the entire moving eyelid and that part of the crease that is under the imaginary, light matte shadows.
- At the end, twist and paint over the cilia.
The highlight of this make-up is that we have two arrows (lower and upper), which look very stylish and attractive and at the same time hide flaws.
For small eyes
If the eyes are not only "awarded" with a sagging eyelid, but are not too large by nature, the look generally becomes depressed and dull. The next version of age-related makeup for the impending century will help fix this. See step-by-step photo below.
- Firstly, we determine the place for the new fold and draw itrelatively dark shadows.
- Next, fill the outer corner of the eye with even darker pigment, going a little on the moving eyelid.
- He also works on the lower eyelid.
- Fill the entire moving eyelid with nude or beige shadows.
- Light pigment is placed under the eyebrow and in the inner corner of the eye.
If eyes are narrow
In this case, the impending eyelid becomes not just a problem, but a misfortune. To restore clarity and brilliance to the eyes, follow a simple technique.
- Filling the entire eyelid - both mobile and static - with body pigment.
- Select the place of the crease and draw it with a very dark pigment or even a pencil, and then shade it.
- In the previous version, the crease was rounded at the outer corner of the eye, and approaching the inner one it disappeared. Now we round it inside. It turns out a semicircular arch outlined by dark shadows.
- Inside this arch we place a light pigment.
- We work on the lower eyelid with relatively dark shadows, make the outer corner darker, the inner corner lighter.
- Finish with mascara on curled lashes.
This technique allows you to round your eyes, make them more open and large. It also diverts attention from the impending century.
For round eyes
Our task in this case is to "stretch" the eyes horizontally and make the sagging crease of the upper eyelid invisible.
- Apply the shadow-base of the fleshor nude color for the entire eyelid from eyebrows to eyelashes.
- Drawing an imaginary fold over the impending eyelid.
- Fill the outer corner of the eye with dark shadows and bring them out slightly to the temples, making light shadow arrows.
- The lower eyelid is worked out exclusively with body shadows, the cilia above it are not stained.
- Light shadows are placed in the inner corner of the eye.
- We paint over the upper eyelashes, focusing on the side hairs.
Important moment
In the end, we decided to leave something without which all efforts to paint the eyelids will be in vain. And, of course, it's concealer. No, we are not talking about the fact that it should be applied under the shadows, just the same, this is the mistake of many ladies. This tool has a slightly different purpose, namely, it masks bags under the eyes. Such an unpleasant phenomenon is very common among women, even young ones, and with age it also becomes regular. Therefore, after you work on the eyes, use a thick brush to brush off the crumbling pigments from the cheeks and mask the bumps and dark circles with concealer.
Summing up
We looked at numerous photos of age-related makeup for the impending century, got acquainted with the basic techniques and palette. It remains only to adapt to your face and its shortcomings, so that the make-up turns out not just right, but ideal for you, unique and inimitable.
