6 Life-Changing Eyeshadow Hacks That Will Make You Look 6 Years Younger

“For beauty experts like me, make-up can emphasize your best features and when done right, take years off your face,” Stokes says. “Eye makeup can be quite tricky, especially if you have areas you need to correct, but with these hacks, you’ll be applying eyeshadow like a pro.”

Concealer

 “To look younger and fresher, apply concealer to dark areas around your eyes,” Stoke says. “Choose a shade or 2 lighter and apply to the inner corners of your eyes as these tend to darken first.”

Eye Primer

“To help your eyeshadow stay in place, apply eye primer to your lids,” Stokes says. “Eye primer can make your eye makeup look flawless, and can be used to cover up mistakes.”

Less Is More 

“Sweep a nude eyeshadow for day makeup, and for nights, apply a slightly darker shade to the crease to add definition to the eyes,” Stokes says. “Avoid using eyeliner and don’t apply eyeshadow to your brow bone as this can add years to your face.”

Eyeliner 

“If you can’t do away with eyeliner, choose a softer brown color,” Stokes says. “You can also use a dark eyeshadow and dab it on the outer corners of your eyes with a makeup brush.”

Lower Lids

Don’t neglect your lower lids. “Opening up your eyes can give you a modern, youthful look,” Stokes says. “Apply the darkest shade in your eye palette to the lower lid just below the lashes and soften the look with a make-up brush.”

Know Your Colors

“Opt for lighter colors for your eyelids and around your eyes,” Stokes says. “Highlighting the corners of your eyes with light shimmer makes your eyes look brighter and fresh.”
