Tips for rocking eyeliner on mature skin

When it comes to eyeliner for mature skin, it's all about investing in the right products. Makeup expert Shaby Dassi shared her tips and tricks on how to get the eyeliner look of your dreams, and what to look for when it comes to the quality of the eye product. Here are the essentials: look for products with easy application, water-proof or smudge-resistant formulas for sensitive skin, and quick drying time. 

If you're in a long-term relationship with your black eyeliner, we get it, but Shaby recommends stepping out of your eyeliner comfort zone and going for a brown or plum colour instead this season. These colours almost act as a contour for your eyelids, giving the illusion of thicker eyelashes from far away. And while black eyeliner can sometimes make your eyes appear smaller, brown eyeliner can actually give your eyes more depth—especially when you smudge it around the top and bottom lashes (almost like a smokey eye). 

There are tons of different eyeliners available out there, so Shaby is narrowing it down to the two of the very best options for mature skin.
