“I tell you, if you use black liner around your eyes, you look 5 to 10 years older, maybe even 15 years older,” ensures the make-up artist. As she shows in her video, this makeup color will not only make you look older, but it will also give you “a very stern look”explains the makeup artist. By hardening the facial features in this way, the effect of makeup, which can be rejuvenating, is completely annihilated.

Although she advises against applying black makeup to your eyes, Ali Andreea emphasizes that the effect of black pencil on the eye contour is aging regardless of the area you apply with it (upper eyelashes, eyelids, etc.). ). That being said, she says the worst thing to do would be “especially if you apply black pencil to the lash line of the lower eyelids” in hopes of bringing out your eye color. “Don’t do it like that”, warns Ali Andreea. According to her, the worst would still be to apply it on the water lineinside the eye, especially if you have small eyes. This further narrows the eyes, which is not flattering for the eyes after the age of 60, when we are looking to open and widen the eyes. “I don’t think anyone looks their best wearing this type of makeup,” adds the makeup artist.

Makeup after 60: here are the best colors to rejuvenate your eyes with a pencil
If you want to bring out the color of your eyes, rest assured, the makeup artist reveals 2 different ways to do it, including one just as easy as using a black pencil. This first way is simply to put on mascara, making sure to apply it from the roots of the eyelashes. “This is what changes women’s eyes the most,” according to the makeup artist. The second is to use other makeup colors as a pencil.
The best of all according to the expert? “Replace the black pencil with brown, taupe” as she recommends to intensify the look without darkening it, in a much more natural way. She explains that you can apply it on the upper eyelid near the root of the eyelashes, but also on the lower eyelash line in a very small amount, simply blurring the line with your finger in both cases. For an intensity more faithful to that offered by the black pencil, dare to apply a “dark brown pencil”. And if you want more originality with color, the makeup artist recommends a “dark blue pencil”.
