Ok so I need help with something. I'm doing some ones makeup to older who older and I want to know how to cover wrinkles also she has kind of small eyes and its really hard to do eyeliner on her without looking like a panda and I don't think she will let me curl her lashes. her eyes are kind of sensitive so I can't get close to the lashes when I do mascara. shes going to a fancy brunch how do I make her look younger.

You don't really cover wrinkles. she needs to find a foundation that sits right on her skin. if her eyes are small then I would advise against doing dark liner on the lower lash line. less is more.

For wrinkles, a good primer is key. Find a filling primer that's supposed to reduce fine lines and don't cake on foundation. Only do a light coverage and conceal anything else.

For her eyes, try tightlining or false lashes. If you really can't get close to her lashes, falsies are your best bet. If she doesn't want those, do a nice, thin line of liquid liner on her top lashline and go with subtle definition.

Fuller brows usually give off a more youthful look, and try to avoid sharply defined lips as it sometimes could make you look older. Hope I helped :)

My tricks are the revitalift miracle blur moisture and a dewy foundation like true match lumi. Nothing with glitter or shimmer no matter how fine especially in the eye area. The biggest factor at least in my case is moisture being key as it plumps up fine lines. Brightening under eye concealer helps a lot too. Maybe maybelline age rewind. Hope this helps! I was mistaken as a student at my daughters school once:) Where's my hall pass?! Lmao!

Moisturizer first! Spot conceal, light foundation, keep the finishing powder extra light and away from the crow's feet area and away from around the mouth where fine lines tend to show up the most. Use a liner for lips and make sure to highlight the cupid's bow and bottom lip (they tend to get thinner with age) and keep the color light. Make the eyes the main feature but don't go too crazy with liner. I'd stay away from anything too glittery and definitely use some falsie lashes to open the eyes up! Use a highlighter on the cheekbones, above the brow, down the nose (noses never stop growing btw!).

Hope that's helpful!

Liquid liner on aging lids is not pretty. I would use the darkest black/brown eyeshadow you have and smudge it onto her lid close to lashes as possible. Still maintaining a line but smudging it just a bit so it distracts from the wrinkling of the lid. A harsh liner line with liquid is only going to call for more attention to the lines and just looks harsh. A brightening undereye concealer...Dior Star Undereye concealer not only brightens the eye area up but it helps diffuse those pesky lines. I just came from Sephora where my fair skinned MIL who is in her late 50's tried it and it looked great on her. No powder is needed to set it because it dried down to a powder finish.
