Who says women in in their 40’s can only rock mom jeans! Old and frumpy before our time? NO THANK YOU! The truth is that women in their 40’s can rock any look we want to!
And nothing says bold, edgy and sexy quite like smokey eyes! Whether you’re 20, 30 or in your 40’s!
The biggest difference I’ve found, now that I’m in my 40’s is that I need to keep the look a little softer, a little more subtle, so that I can totally make my eyes pop without drawing attention to the saggy, wrinkly baggies around my eyes!
To Get This Look, I used:
- Catrice Smokey Eye Set 030 – which I love because it’s not as harsh as traditional back eye shadow smokey eyes.
- Catrice Glam & Doll False Lashes Mascara in Blackest – I love the length & depth it gives
- Palladio Fifty-Fifty Eye Liner – the kohl end is fabulous for the smudged smokey look
All of these products are SUPER affordable and available at Dischem.
I’ve created a little video tutorial to take you through the steps of creating this look!
What was most astonishing for me, in an attempt to make the video a little shorter, I actually start the tutorial with one eye already made up and then take you through the steps of creating the look with the other eye. You cannot believe how much this look makes your eyes pop, when you see the footage of me with one smokey eye and one unmade up eye, you’ll be astounded.
Anyway, here is the video, I hope you enjoy it and will hit the like button!
What do you think of the smokey eye look for more mature women?
I love it that you kept the lips simple with the smokey eye. Very pretty!
I always think one should focus on one stand out feature, not all of them. So either a strong lippie or strong eyes, never both.
I’ve only recently started wearing eye make up so grateful to have a few tips
