2 Eye Makeup Errors That Could Inadvertently Emphasize Fine Lines
1. Wearing Ultra-Sparkly Eyeshadow
Glistening, sparkly eyeshadows can certainly help you stand out at a holiday party this season, but McGill warns that beauties over 40 or anyone concerned with fine lines being emphasized should opt for more matte shades.
This way, she notes, you can still go for a bold or flattering color that matches your outfit and not have to worry about eye wrinkles taking center stage. McGill says that "glittery or shimmery eye shadows really settle into the wrinkles and draw attention to them."

Instead, Choose A Matte Shade
Rather than packing on the sparkles when it comes to your eye look, McGill recommends "choosing a matte eyeshadow." Jackson concurs, adding that the color of your shadow is just as important.
"Using a cool toned eyeshadow, and applying it with a heavy hand can tend to create a skull-like shadow in your eye socket," she warns. "Try to use a warmer tone eyeshadow instead," she suggests. She concludes that "keeping the application to a wash over the lid instead of a strong definition in the crease line" is ideal.

2. Applying Thick Concealer To Your Under-Eyes
Prior to applying any eye makeup such as eyeliner, eyeshadow or mascara, it is a common practice for many to try and conceal their dark circles with concealer. However, it often happens that people tend to use a product that is too thick which not only fails to cover the dark circles but also draws more attention to the fine lines and dark circles around the eyes, according to Tomchenko.
Tomchenko suggests applying under-eye concealer carefully to ensure proper selection, and to not apply too much (resulting in a thick look). "The shade should either match your skin tone or be slightly lighter," she says. "You should only apply concealer to the line where your dark circle starts, as applying concealer on the bags under your eyes or on wrinkles will make you appear older."

Instead, Remember Less Is More
Tomchenko suggests using your finger to apply the concealer as the warmth of your finger will help the cream melt and blend well. "Using a brush is not recommended as it may not work well with products that contain wax, since it melts only in warmth," she continues. "Additionally, adding too much powder can also make you look older," she points out.
Overall, embarking on a journey to discover new eye makeup techniques for mature skin can be an enjoyable and exciting endeavor, especially when seeking expert advice from skilled makeup artists. Adapting one's makeup routine becomes necessary as skin ages, but experimenting with eyeshadow and concealer options that flatter and accentuate your best features can make your eyes truly stand out.
