Eye Makeup Mistakes That Make You Look Older

Over-plucking your eyebrows

This can make your face look harsh and age you.

Skipping eye primer

Eye primer helps to smooth out the eyelid and prevent creasing, which can make you look older.

Applying eyeliner only to the lower lash line

This can make your eyes look smaller and draw attention to dark circles.

Using shimmery eyeshadow on mature skin

Shimmery eyeshadow can highlight wrinkles and make them more noticeable.

Using dark eyeshadow in the crease

This can create a heavy, tired look.

Applying mascara only to the top lashes

Mascara on the bottom lashes can help to open up the eyes and make them look brighter.

Using false eyelashes that are too long or heavy

This can weigh down the eyelids and make you look tired.

Neglecting to curl your lashes

Curled lashes can make your eyes look more awake and youthful.

Using too much black eyeliner

This can create a harsh look and draw attention to wrinkles.
