It’s no great secret that the older you get, the softer your makeup look should be. Smile lines and eye creases, which come with living a full life, don’t lend themselves themselves to heavy concealers and harsh black eyeliners.
Thankfully, one of the hottest makeup trends this season is earth tones – and it’s a look perfect for any age but particularly those who’ve earnt their stripes.
“This trend is all about making you look healthy and enhancing natural beauty,” explains Priceline Pharmacy Makeup Director Rae Morris. “It’s an anti-ageing look that makes any eye colour pop, and the neutral shades make it a timeless trend.”
Earthy tones can be worn day or night. For extra evening glamour, add a chocolate brown pencil to your lower waterline.
Step 1. Keep your skin looking like skin by using a light application of foundation. Warm up the skin tone with a little bronzer on the cheekbones and around your hairline.
Step 2. Conceal under the eyes, but only where there is discolouration, and apply it in the inner corners and the outer edge of the eyes to give them a natural lift.
Step 3. Apply a cream or powder eyeshadow in an earthy tone on your eyelid, use a nude eye pencil in the inner waterline, then frame the eye by smudging out the same eyeshadow on the lower lash line.
Step 4. Curl lashes and apply mascara.
