Eyelash styles to ‘avoid’ on mature eyes or risk ‘ageing’ yourself

Over 50s makeup expert, Schealla Fowler explained that to avoid making your eyes look “heavy” and “downturned”, you should keep mascara well away from lower lashes.

The Fabulous50s founder said: “Wearing mascara on the bottom makes your eyes look more rounded so we’ve got a lifting effect up top and a rounding result down the bottom.

“And on mature eyes, what can happen is when we apply mascara down here it can draw attention down the face – so it can be very very ageing.”

She noted that this is especially true if you have very straight lower lashes that can look like arrows when coated in mascara.
