Pro Makeup Artist Tips: Eyeshadow 101 for Older Women (VIDEO)

eyeshadow tips and products

Often, the women I’ve worked with have shared with me why they hesitate to wear eyeshadow and some of these reasons may certainly resonate with you as well. Some feel it’s not really important or necessary or it takes too much time or is too difficult.

Others feel it’s just too complicated with all the changes to their eyes… or they lack confidence in their ability to apply it. And some worry that it will actually age them or make them look like they’re trying too hard to cling to their younger selves.

Some of you reading this article or watching the accompanying video wore eyeshadow when you were younger but have discontinued using it – perhaps for some of the reasons mentioned above; some of you may never have worn it but would like to explore the possibility of wearing it now, and some of you may like to learn techniques that work better for you now than those we learned in our 20s and 30s.

And some of you may already be eyeshadow pros. No matter where you are in your eyeshadow journey, I hope you’ll find some of the tips we’ll be talking about today (and demonstrating in the video) helpful.

In addition to covering how eyeshadow can truly help us look our best and why wearing eyeshadow can be especially helpful for us as we get older, I’ll also cover the various types of eyeshadow products, the most helpful tools and application techniques that work best for us now which can make a world of difference in how we look.

Why Eye Primer Is So Important After 60

Before applying eyeshadow, I always recommend applying an eyeshadow primer because one, it keeps the eyeshadow in place for hours without any smudging or creasing and second, it covers up any discoloration on our eyelids.

I have some veins showing through my eyelids, some redness and some darker areas. Even if I’m not putting on eyeshadow, I’ll use an eye primer just by itself to cover up the discoloration on my eyelids to improve the look of my whole eye area.

In the video I’m using Urban Decay’s Eye Primer Potion in the color “Eden” which is the best match for my skin tone. It also comes in a darker color. Next, I’m going to apply a very small amount of translucent powder with a fluffier brush. This is very important for beginners since it helps eyeshadow (especially powder options) glide onto the eyelid more easily.

Four Different Types of Eyeshadow Products Plus One That’s Quickest and Easiest to Apply

Now let’s move on to the different types of eyeshadow products: there are stick, liquid, cream and powder eyeshadows.

Stick Eyeshadows

Some of my favorite stick eyeshadows are from Laura Mercier, Tarte and Thrive Causemetics. But there are many other brands that make good eyeshadow sticks, including Bobbi Brown, Nudestix, Nars, Charlotte Tilbury and Clinique. Three lower priced brands that make eyeshadow sticks are NYX, Elf and Pixie.

Eyeshadow sticks are definitely the quickest and easiest to apply because all we have to do is remove the cap, swipe the product across our eyelid, and gently blend it out with our fingers or a brush.

In the video I demonstrate applying a stick eye shadow by using Tarte’s Quicksticks. One of the things I really like about Quicksticks is that there’s an eyeshadow stick on one end and an eyeliner on the other end.

I use a lighter color, called “Matte Cream,” on my lid. Then I apply a mid-tone color, “Matte Tan,” in the crease of my eyelid and slightly above the crease since I have hooded eyes. Then I blend it out.

For more information about using the best products for the quickest eyeshadow application, you can watch this video:

If you’d like to learn more about Eyeliner Application, have a look at this video:

For those of you with hooded eyes, make sure to watch:

Liquid Eyeshadow

Liquid eyeshadows usually glide on with a doe foot applicator. The ones I’m going to show you are from Armani, but many other brands make good liquid eyeshadows, including Stila, Maybelline, Elf and Sephora. Most liquid eyeshadows are metallic or shimmer formulas, but Sephora have both matte and metallic formulas.

I use the lighter colored liquid eyeshadow number 45 on my eyelid and apply with my finger. Then, I use the darker color number 41 in my crease area, but this one I first put on the back of my hand then apply with a brush.

Cream Eyeshadow

I have a couple of metallic colors from Charlotte Tilbury, and two matte colors from Trinny London. For this demo, I apply the Charlotte Tilbury “Rose Gold” cream eyeshadow on my eyelid and the Trinny London matte cream shade called “Wisdom” in my crease area. I use my finger to apply the Charlotte Tilbury color and a brush to apply the Trinny London product more precisely in my crease.

Powder Eyeshadow

Many people prefer powder eyeshadow because it’s possible to be more precise with application, it blends out beautifully and colors can be layered over one another to create a wide variety of looks.

There are many different types of powder eyeshadow formulations, the most common being mattes, shimmers, metallics and duochromes.

There definitely is a difference in the quality of powder eyeshadow in terms pigmentation, ease of application and how much fall out it produces. In general, more expensive eye shadows tend to be more highly pigmented, apply more easily and have more consistent quality from one palette to another – which translates into a quicker, easier application.

But this isn’t always the case. And even within the same brand, quality can sometimes vary.

The Must-Have Tools for Powder Eyeshadow Application

Up until this point, the only tools I’ve needed for applying stick, liquid and cream eyeshadows are my fingers and a brush. But a few specific types of brushes are really helpful for powder eyeshadow application.

A flat, dense brush makes it possible to apply more product more quickly on the eyelid and a softer, less dense brush applies a smaller amount of product in a softer, more diffused fashion in the crease area and slightly above.

I highly recommend also having a third brush on hand to use to blend out colors so there are no hard lines or edges. Blending makes all the difference with powder eyeshadow application because it helps create a seamless, soft look that is very flattering.

Top Five Powder Eyeshadow Brands for Older Women

There are five brands of powder eyeshadow that I never hesitate to recommend. They work especially well for those of us who are older or less experienced with eyeshadow. The most expensive of the five brands is Natasha Denona who creates smaller, 5-pan eyeshadow palettes for $25.00 and 15-pan palettes for $65.00. Larger palettes can also be purchased.

Another top quality brand, this one in the medium price range, is Sydney Grace. I would say that these eyeshadows probably have the most consistent formula out of all I’ve mentioned today. I highly recommend their “Enduring Love” palette or any of their single eyeshadows in your favorite colors.

Also in the medium price range is Juvia’s Place. The Juvia’s Place Warrior 2 all-matte palette is one of my all-time-favorite go-to palettes. Often you can snag great bargains during some of Juvia’s Place website sales.

Two other top quality brands that offer great bargains are Bh Cosmetics and Colourpop. Both of these brands fall into the mid to upper drugstore price range.

Application Techniques That Can Help Us Look Our Best

In the video I use Juvia’s Place Warrior 2 palette to demonstrate some great eyeshadow techniques that work especially well for those of us over 60.

I apply the lightest color, called Zaz, all over my lid, using my denser, firmer brush. Using a color that’s a shade or so lighter than your skin tone makes the eyes look bigger.

I also put a touch of this light, matte color under the arch of my eyebrows, to help lift the eye area, and on the inner corner of the eye – to make the eyes look larger.

To give your eyes some dimension, put a mid-tone color in the crease area. And, if you have hooded eyes like I do, it’s important to bring the mid-tone color above the crease. You should be able to look straight ahead into a mirror and see the eyeshadow. If you can’t see it, bring it up higher so it’s visible when you look straight ahead into the mirror.

When you apply this mid-tone color, start in the middle of the crease and carry the color straight across the lid rather than curving it down to follow the curve of the eye. Then bring it down to meet the bottom of the eye. This creates a “backward 7” shape that help lift the eyes. I combine the two mid-tone colors, Kana and Yodit, and apply them in my crease and slightly above my crease.

To create a little more dimension for the eyes, you can put a small amount of a darker color in the outer “backward 7” area. I use the darker brown shade called Kufuru in this outer area of the eye. I like using a softer brush so no harsh lines are created.

Sometimes, if I want to open the eyes up even more, I’ll take a light metallic shadow and put it just in the center of my eyelid where I have less texture. Since shimmer and metallic eyeshadows attract light, I usually recommend putting matte shadows rather than shimmer in the eye crease area. But there are no rules in makeup, so if you love shimmer, I say apply it wherever it makes you feel the best. I add eyeliner and mascara to finish the look.

I hope you’ll enjoy experimenting with these techniques that can help your eyes look their very best.

Are you new to eyeshadow or have you worn it for years? What type of eyeshadow product do you prefer? Do you have a favorite eyeshadow brand? If so, please share it with us.

Dove Cameron Is the Latest Celeb to Go Dark for Fall & She Looks SO Different

Is there anything better than getting your hair cut and/or colored, leaving the salon and feeling like a supermodel? No, we don’t think there is. But because of the current climate, seeing your hairstylist might not be as easy and getting your split ends cut off or your roots done might just be a quick in-and-out appointment without all the fun. That’s one reason why we’re so obsessed with actors and influencers who switch up their look on a dime. We’re jealous, sure, but it’s also aspirational AF. So, we’re rounding up the best celebrity hair makeovers of 2021 as they come so you can drool with us.

Though, it’s not just about drooling over these looks. Saving this page and referring back to it at the hair salon can help you decide if curtain bangs or a bob is right for you. Hairstylists actually love when you show them photos because they can get a real feel of the vibe you’re looking for and can adjust the look into something that suits your wants and needs. This goes for color, too. Did you ask for balayage when you really meant a shadow root? It’s easier to just give examples of what you want.

Some of these celebrity looks aren’t permanent. Stars love to play around with wigs, extensions and faux bangs. But there’s nothing wrong with that. Real or faux, we’re taking inspo from our favorites to figure out our next look for 2021 and beyond.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

Mrs. Bieber went brunette for fall and looks stunning! We love that her colorist left some lighter pieces in the front to brighten her face.

It feels like every fashion girl on my TikTok FYP is getting a bob for fall. Selena Gomez just joined the club with her chic, blunt style.

Megan Fox

Hello, new look! Fox showed off her icy new hair on Instagram, writing: “This is what the devil’s daughter looks like.” What’s probably a wig is for her 2022 movie Johnny & Clyde, a Bonnie & Clyde update, also starring Tyson Ritter. It looks so cool on her, she should probably rock it IRL, too.

The Gossip Girl reboot star hit up the Savage x Fenty Vol. 3 show rocking a platinum blonde mullet. It’s a far cry from her character Zoya’s naturally curly hair.

Gigi Hadid

Although it’s not set to air until September 23 on Amazon Prime Video, Savage x Fenty is giving us sneak peeks of Vol. 3 of the ultra-hot runway show. We spotted model mom Gigi Hadid and her new baby bangs! They’re probably clip-ins but they’re cute enough to do for real.

Irina Shayk

The model showed up to New York Fashion Week looking totally different — and seriously chic — in a bob with bangs. It’s most likely a wig but it looks so good, we’re hoping she does it for real.

Camila Cabello

The singer first took to TikTok to show off her chic new bob — a far departure from her usual long locks. Response from fans was mixed, with many disliking the change and saying she looks too much like “Fifth Harmony Camila.” We think she looks incredible and like the grown-up performer she’s turning into. Hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos is responsible for the blunt bob.

Chrissy Teigen

After seeing how good Kourtney Kardashian looks with short hair, Chrissy Teigen decided to join the celeb bob club. She credited hairstylist Sabrina Porsche for the sleek cut and style.

Lorde

We had to do a double-take when we saw Lorde’s (faux) blonde hair in her new music video for “Mood Ring.” She looks a lot like The Queen’s Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy.

Kylie Jenner

OK, Kylie! The beauty boss rocked knee-length hair and a gold bikini to celebrate Kylie Cosmetics’ 24K Birthday Collection, which launches on August 10. Remember: this is the revamp with new formulas.And that

Zoey Deutch

Zoey Deutch

The actress was seen in full Y2K hair and clothing on the set of Hulu’s upcoming movie Not Okay.  Although it’s most likely a wig, Deutch famous friends love this look for her. “Wait I love your hair like this,” wrote Riverdale‘s Madelaine Petsch on Instagram. We couldn’t agree more.

Gabrielle Union

Often when a woman does the “big chop,” it’s because there’s damage to their hair or they had to cut it off for a reason. But Gabrielle Union is showing you can go ultra-short just because it looks amazing. “The movies always show women cutting their hair when all is lost but I wanted to know the feeling of making a change when things are gravy. It hits different and its foreign to me but I ❤❤❤ this new new,” she wrote on Instagram.

Emma Chamberlain

Do you hear that? That’s the sound of all of Gen Z making a hair appointment to copy Chamberlain’s cool-girl bangs.

Jennie

The Blackpink singer slays with Y2K-style full bangs. She credited hairstylist Preston Wada for the chop.

Paris Jackson

Y2K beauty and fashion are trending like crazy. Just take a look at Paris Jackson’s color-block hair. We’re loving the emerald green shade poking out from under her blond hair.

Florence Pugh

The actress is giving us Y2K vibes with pastel purple ends. We’re not sure who did the color (maybe she did it herself?) but the gorgeous waves were created by hairstylist Peter Lux.

Mullets are trending like crazy and apparently, Demi Lovato got the memo. The front of her hair is short and the back is all the way past her shoulders.

Just a week after debuting piece-y bangs, the Game of Thrones star went fully red! She shared a cute mirror photo wearing Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour merch and showing off her matching red Casetify Cottage Core case.

“Pelirroja,” Ciara wrote on Instagram. (Pelirroja is Spanish for redhead.) The singer is looking stunning with long ginger hair giving off a bit of a sexy princess Ariel vibe.

“Ya gal’s bang’d up,” the Game of Thrones star wrote on Instagram stories over the weekend. The choppy, piece-y style is different from the blunt bangs we’ve seen her rock before. We love this low-key fringe for summer because it’s easy to pin back or grow into curtain bangs.

Kim Kardashian

We’ve seen the media mogul try just about every hairstyle but the lob will always be our favorite. This one has a gorgeous curled-under ’70s vibe.

She’s back, baby! Hairstylist Clayton Hawkins gave Cosgrove pretty blonde highlights for the iCarly revival.

Kim Kardashian

Look who’s blonde again! But it was only for a few hours. Kardashian was shooting an upcoming campaign either for KKW Beauty or Skims. She actually did get her eyebrows bleached and we actually loved the look with her naturally dark hair. But then when they put the blonde wing on it was like, whoa. Right before she left the studio, she snapped a photo showing us she’s back to brunette again, including the brows.

Sabrina Carpenter

Say goodbye to curtain bangs and hello to ‘Bardot bangs!’ Hairstylist Laurie Heaps gave Sabrina Carpenter piece-y bombshell bangs inspired by the iconic French star Brigitte Bardot. We’re obsessed.

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Selena Gomez

In an Instagram photo promoting her beauty brand, Rare Beauty, in April 2021, Gomez showed off her newly dyed blonde hair. The picture saw the former Disney Channel star light blonde tresses and dark roots. She most recently dyed her hair blonde in 2017 in a color dubbed by her hairstylist Nikki Lee as “Nirvana Blonde.” Gomez’s 2021 color was also done by Lee and Riawna Capri. “We’ve been doing Selena’s color for over a decade now. She typically keeps it pretty natural, but this time she went for a big change. This blonde is unique to her as we had to make sure there was an equal balance of cool and warm for her skin tone. It’s an edgier look and perfect for summer,” the hairstylists said in a statement.

Elizabeth Olsen

At the virtual launch of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier miniseries, Olsen debuted a totally different look from her usual copper-blonde hair. The bangs! The darker color! So chic.

Chrissy Teigen

We love how Teigen is playing around with wigs lately and experimenting with hair color. Although she only kept the silver shade for a day, we hope she brings it back. It looks amazing on her.

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Kristen Bell

It seems like Bell is dressed up in character to film a TV show or movie but we’re loving these piecey bangs on her and we hope she keeps them up IRL.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

While filling us in on the Covid-19 relief package, AOC showed off her adorable new haircut. When followers commented saying they loved the chop, she replied, “Let’s not start another national crisis over it, right?”

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Gigi Hadid

The model mom returned to the runway, walking in the Versace fall 2021 show. Hairstylist Panos Papandrianos wrote “Ginger for Gigi” on Instagram, making us believe he really did dye the model’s hair this gorgeous red shade for the occasion.

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Olivia Rodrigo

The ‘Drivers License’ singer jumped on the curtain bang trend thanks to hairstylist Clayton Hawkins. They’re subtle but make a big difference in her look. One interesting note: Sabrina Carpenter has them too.

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Lana Condor

The actress looks so great in this pastel pink wig, maybe she’s considering doing it IRL? “Get ‘Anyone Else But You; to 5 mil streams and I’ll keep it,” she wrote on Instagram. Though, she told STYLECASTER last year, “I don’t know that I’d ever dye dye my hair. I think my mom would kill me, you’d know?”

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Ashley Graham

The model had everyone thinking maybe she got a pixie cut but her hair is actually the result of new growth post hair loss. “Postpartum baby hairs come through!” she wrote on Instagram.

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Emma Roberts

A new color and cut for the birthday girl! “Emma always looks and feels her best blonde,” said her hairstylist and Nine Zero One co-founder Nikki Lee. “We decided to keep her a warm blonde and went for a ’90s supermodel vibe. With a new baby and a big birthday, we went out with a bang! Lisa Satorn added extensions for length and fullness. I kept her haircut free and flowing with piecey layers around the face.” Lee keeps her client’s hair healthy with the In Common 3 Step Treatment System ($105 at In Common).

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Katy Perry

Why not start with one of the biggest hair chameleons? Though she’s been ultra-blonde for a while, we can’t help but miss a brunette Katy Perry. It’s classically chic and fits her personality. So, when we saw these photos of backstage at Jimmy Kimmel Live, we were so excited to see the long brown hair. But it seems it’s a wig and she’s already back to blonde.
