Make-up for over 60s
When you're over 60, you know what you want and what you don't want, you've tried a lot in your life and therefore you know what suits you. But you can still be curious and discover new, exciting things. That keeps you young and fit.
The first tip for makeup after 60 is: less is more! It's not about using a lot of cosmetic products, but rather the right products with good quality that you can rely on 100%. Here we have put together a few tips for you on how to apply beautiful makeup when you're over 60:
EYE MAKEUP
Be brave and try something new and colorful, it will make you look younger and fresher. Bright colors make your eyes shine. Depending on your eye color, you can match the eye shadow to it. Cosline eyeshadows have a practical pencil shape and are therefore very easy to apply.
A kohl pencil makes the eyes instantly more expressive. The color should not be drawn to the inner corner of the eye, but only about 2/3 of the lower lash line and emphasize the outer corner of the eye. This makes the eye almond-shaped and gives it a beautiful form. Here, too, you can use bright colors such as blue or green. If you prefer more subtle colors, we recommend the colors gray , aubergine or brown . Do not use black kohl/eyeliner, as it makes your eyes smaller and looks too harsh.

HOW TO EMPHASIS YOUR EYEBROWS
Eyebrows provide the frame for your eyes and are therefore very important. The older you get, the fewer hairs in your eyebrows become. They also become lighter and you can hardly see them anymore. Therefore, it is particularly important to emphasize your eyebrows when applying makeup after 60. You can get a few valuable tips about eyebrows here:
Tip 1
The right form
Make sure that you always emphasize your eyebrows naturally, always taking your own eyebrow shape as a guide. It may be that you already have some gaps in your eyebrows or that they have generally become a bit thinner. If you want to fill in your eyebrows, it is important that you only fill in the upper area - this visually lifts the eyes. If you were to fill in the lower area of your eyebrows, it would push your eye area downwards.
You can easily conceal gaps in your eyebrows by applying the eyebrow pencil to exactly those spots. Make sure that you only apply the color in strokes without applying too much pressure. Try holding the pencil a little to the side and applying little pressure. After applying, be sure to spread the color lightly with your finger so that the color lies nicely on the skin and hairs and it looks completely natural.
Tip 2
The color of the eyebrow pencil
For women over 60, the color of the eyebrow pencil is especially important. Even if your eyebrows are already gray, do not use a gray, dark brown or even black eyebrow pencil. That would make you look older and you want to look younger and fresher.
It is better to use a light brown shade that is not too strong and, above all, does not contain any red particles. The Chocolate 121 eyebrow pencil is perfect for this. The color is a natural brown-gray and therefore suits most women.
This light brown eyeliner / Eyebrow pencil is perfect for anyone looking to achieve a natural look. It is also ideal for filling in eyebrows.
Tip 3
concealer
Use a concealer to lighten dark circles under your eyes. Don't use too much, though: 3 dots under your eyes are enough. If your skin is very oily, dab the concealer a little with a tissue so that it doesn't settle into the wrinkles.
For a lifting effect, apply a little concealer to the outer corner of the eye and spread the color upwards with your finger. This covers up reddened areas and visually lifts the eye area upwards.
You can also apply some concealer under the eyebrow, which lifts the eye area, especially if you have droopy eyelids.
