THE *BEST* LIFTING EYELINER TRICK/TECHNIQUE FOR MATURE WOMEN | Risa Does Makeup

[@LynnSmith-lg7yr]

Love that you do you Risa. I’m 63 and have no intention of letting the world tell me how to dress or wear my hair and makeup. Thank you for the positive vibe.

[@lesliedemarco1691]

Right on!

[@jennifermorgan5846]

Completely agree! 👍🏻

[@ksuizzomorris]

Right there with you Lynn! Happy to be 63 and going strong!

I’m 60 too! I was a runner until my 50’s. Even had my data 42 and ran with stroller. Sadly, I have severe spinal stenosis, scoliosis & 4 screws in my neck. Walking like Groucho Marx my brother kids. He’s 70 & still running. So having tenitis i can sympathize. My mom had that. I still stay active but it’s difficult ❤l😢 I try to make the best of my day and love my family..,…God Bless you and love your videos;) love how you looked in the black dress 🥰😍

You are so gorgeous, Risa! And I cannot get over how you do all these close-up shots, WITHOUT A FILTER, and no blurring, and you still look amazing. Most importantly, you are genuine, honest, and have a good heart.

[@tpat12345]

Thank you Risa! I'm 74 in September and still love make up, but not on my days off! I love the tape idea. I don't have hooded eyes, but my Granddaughter does, she is gorgeous and a whiz at makeup and techniques. This is so much fun!! I followed a make up artist on KZbin Nikol Johnson,' she suggested eyes first, foundation, concealer last. It was difficult at first, but it was amazing how my eye make up popped when I did add concealer and foundation, powder, etc. I tried something new! I understand she could then erase any mistakes from eye shadow, but it almost felt like the cart before the horse.

[@jann3443]

This is the best method for a lift. I've followed this ever since you first demonstrated this, Risa. Wait til you're 74! 😉 You'll be even more thankful. (BK Beauty has a Mother's Day sale right now!)

Dear Risa. I am 61 and I live in Slovakia ( former Czechoslovakia). I follow you approx. 3 years and you are clearly the best beauty blogger in the world for ladies of an elegant age. Thank you for the awesome work. Alena

What a lovely thing to say! Thank you so much. ❤️

[@laurierischling]

At age 56…my eyelids just seem crepey when I try to do any kind of eyeliner ! This helps A LOT! And the tape is always a “look saver” ! Thanks!

[@margaretfederal7378]

I started wearing a winged eye at age 15 when I started wearing makeup and it's still my go to look (everyday and special occasions) today at 56. I will be buried with a fabulous winged eye looked. Thanks, Risa, as always. You're a master.

You are great Risa!! I love your comment about being 90 in the nursing home (cuz I feel the same way about shimmer eyeshadow).

Hi Risa❣️. I’m with you girl! I’m 66 years young and I love my false eyelashes and my long nails. I will die with them on😆 Do what makes you feel pretty!!! Who cares what others think‼️ we are NOT hurting others when we do things to ourselves to feel and look pretty❤️

TY for supporting glitter at ALL ages!! You are right - if you luv it, wear it no matter what age you are! And, really, it looks great on EVERY age! Also, you are one of few makeup artists on YT that wear eyeshadow colors other than just brown all the time! You wear purple and blue and green and pink, etc. Luv you Risa!!

[@reneemeyer9107]

Thank you for another helpful video for the hooded eye sisterhood. I was always hesitant to use tape, but seeing how you neutralized the adhesive has encouraged me to try it again. Thanks, Risa.

[@IamSweetViolet]

I found your open and honest approach quite refreshing! The technique of using tape will make it much easier to apply eyeshadow without going overboard. This is a game changer for anyone with hooded eyes or even non-hooded eyes as far as technique!

[@luzmilaluceyh9286]

Just turned 50 on Monday & these tips are ver valuable to us 50+ gals. I will try this method with my pomade. Thank you Risa. P.S. I love your name. It means laughter in Spanish.

[@sherriebichonfriseowner1422]

12:48 You are so beautiful love all your tips since my eye lids are more hooded. I agree glitter makes you feel fabulous!

[@jessicawalbye3651]

Risa you are so right! Im in my 40s and love glitter, always have. I don't picture myself ever being without a little sparkle and shimmer and i really don't care what people think. Makes me happy. Great video ❤

[@LorraineCareyAuthor]

This is such a softer look than using the liquid black liner. Thank you for this amazing tip!

[@lesliedemarco1691]

Luv you Risa! And nope, I never let society tell me how to dress or apply makeup. It's MY life, NOT theirs!

[@KatB79]

Ive just come across your tutorials & as a 47 yr old I love them. Easy to follow without 100 steps. Thanks Risa

[@blackcatt24]

Ugg, I can completely relate! I highly recommend trying masking tape instead of scotch! Masking tape is far more gentle and easy to tear. I have also always had hooded eyes but had a perfect routine but now at 52... things are getting more difficult (especially w Eyeliner). My eyeliner used to last all day but not anymore. I'm also having issues with my skin getting more dry vs combination. It's like I have to learn what works all over again! Thank you, much love to everyone! ❤️

[@shellanne12]

What is a more natural-look shortened version of this GREAT demo. I’m not sure if that is possible…? I too have the hooded eyes now in my late 50’s😱, and I’m dealing with a chronic painful disease with limited mobility. This has certainly affected my self-esteem. THANK YOU so so much for your time 💕 ❤😊

[@LenaSheppard]

Oh this is so excellent! I never thought to use my rephr #03 to smoke out my wing; probably because the handle came off & I had to glue it back together. I'll try it today. Thank you for being here for us !

[@jillmiksch2037]

I will be right there with you in the nursing home putting on my sparkles and shimmers! Life is too short to be matte 😂 I'm 52 and wing my hooded eyes with the help of a stencil. I couldn't do it otherwise, but with the aid, I can still do a respectable wing ❤

I just love your channel. I’ve been sick for a few months so I haven’t really been into how I look. Thankfully I’m on the mend and I’ll be doing this method. 50 isn’t old!

[@rynaecurry5237]

I like this a lot. Thank you! ❤ As I've gotten older my eyes have become hooded. I lived most of my life with a very open lid and brow. I just recently started using dark eyeshadow to line my eyes... i thought i was being clever 😂😂😂 I did see something on another channel but I don't remember where... and that's too use white eyeliner on your bottom water line. It opens and brightens the eye. I don't go anywhere without doing this step anymore! It does amazing things for my eyes! ❤❤❤ Thank you again for your video! It was very informative!! ❤❤❤

[@SusAsh-jm1jy]

I love your videos Risa. One of my eyes is more hooded than the other and I can't get them to look right. Have you done a video on that? Do you do them differently, or both the same way? Thanks!

[@mollyjane01]

Loving reading your comments on this video, Risa. Just uplifting to read of those who are over 40 or 50 years old, living their best makeup lives!! I’m not sure how many views/likes your videos usually get, but this video seemed to do well, which makes me feel so glad for you❣️❣️🙌🙌😘😘

[@kathymestas3986]

Risa, I can always count on your advise. I'm 65 and I really need some liner to bring my eyes out. My biggest problem is using liner/shadow to do my wing because it doesn't stay on as long as liquid liner. I'm tired of using liquid liner, but I find myself doing it in order for it to stay. I do a tightline also. Is there something that will stay on longer? Thank you for always teaching us.

[@reginahoover4978]

Thank you for this video too! I say “too” because I have your Masterclass for Hooded Eyes” video saved and refer back to it all the time!! I struggle with hooded eyes and crepey eyelids, so I have many of your videos saved for quick reference when needed.

Risa, thank you for your very smart tutorials and your comments on wearing shimmer, glitter, etc. over 40, 50! I am just over 60 and wear both (with very hooded lids)! Matte colors make me look older, but shimmer looks bright and beautiful on me and I’ll never give it up!

Yeah; you don't know about the changes until you get there. I'm 60 now, and I'm just starting to struggle with my hair, makeup, skin. I like to follow and get tips from women who are my age; I rarely watch younger makeup or fashion channels now, they are mostly irrelevant. Glad you're 50 now!

[@phyllisbrannen36]

You are great and i admire you showing the world the real you with no make up on to start . But you are so beautiful anyway that you dont need any make up. Keep showing us ideas, im 75 years old and i still wear eye shadows and it makes me feel better about myself. Thank you You are very kind!

[@simbollaw6893]

Thank you for this!! I don't have hooded eyelids, but I struggle trying to do a winged liner. Now I can get that look like everyone else!! Love it!

[@debbieotoole1072]

Love this Risa. The Rephr brushes are a game changer especially for hooded eyes, i have multiples of the 29 and 03, the 23 is even smaller than the 03 so even better for the eyeshadow wing. Using eyeshadow for a wing instead of liquid is the best thing I've ever done. I'm nearly 41 and i started changing things up when i was about 37 and i was starting to struggle with my liquid liner. It's like you don't notice the hood and them suddenly it's there and i love my eyeshadow and i did want to stop doing eyeshadow so you just have to learn to work with the hood.

[@trisharogers4342]

Hi Risa, I was born blind in my left eye, wings are so hard for me because I don’t have depth perception. I can’t use an eyelash curler either. I’ve gotten pretty good at Mascara tho. (Yay). Some of the steps you demonstrate will help me too. Thanks for helping me to look my best!

[@AnnikaLaurenCassidy56]

Love that you do you, girl! You look terrific, and I just love a little shimmer too! But this all gets harder--try doing a wing with hooded eyes at 56, haha! In my 20s, I wouldn't even leave the house without make up! In my 30s, I got married, had a baby, and make up became an 'if I felt like it' thing. In my 40s, I just gave it up, and didn't miss it! Now at 56, I'm into it again thanks to gals like you who are in your 50s and know the struggle is real lol, but who are showing us how to feel glam and pretty again! Thank you so much for getting us! ❤👏🎉

[@Christine-uf3oj]

Thanks! I'm so frustrated with my 54 y/o hooded eyes because they are uneven in their hoodedness and it takes forever to apply makeup. I have stopped purchasing eyeshadow palettes of any kind because I just don't use powdered shadow that often anymore. I like the Victoria Beckham shadow sticks (the ONLY brand of shadow stick that doesn't feel sticky and lasts on my oily lids) for quick, everyday looks, because powder shadows just take forever now. I will try this technique with my powder shadows when I want to dress up, though.

[@jessicarauch1525]

This is great! I’ve also been using cream shadow first and then locking it in with the powder shadow for longevity!

[@LLLMYOB]

new glitter girl subscriber here! I had bleph done so I don’t have hooded eyes ….for now…. i’m sure that will change in the future, but i still apply my makeup in the same way as having hooded eyes because I think it looks most attractive on me compared to other techniques. Great video! Very helpful✨✨✨✨✨

[@annabelperkins3572]

I had many Aha’ moments watching your hooded tutorial.My hooded eyes have progressively worsened over time!I find the pencil brush & patting placement is SO much easier.Plus I find a powder wing,less stark on my eyes than a gel. So grateful for you sharing these invaluable tips! 🙏🏻x

[@monicaleanos5874]

Thank you Risa! I'm 45 (don't roll your eyes please folks lol) and I'm getting wrinkles and I have hooded eyes plus a lazy eye. Between you and Nikki La Rose I've able to find my happy place!!! Appreciate you so much! Also, as a Gen Xer, I have never cared about what people think bahaha!

[@jenniferschauer5759]

I always do my eyeshadow first. And I use eyeshadow shields which helps create a crisp edge and wing, as well as collect any fallout under my eyes.

[@shar7508]

This is awesome! Risa, how would you do this with eyes that are not hooded, but the actual lower lid is heavy. Like big round eyes that kind of stick out. I always have trouble, because the divot on the side of my eye is so deep that it makes it almost impossible to use tape or anything. Thanks! 😊

[@ChristinePacinda]

I really applaud you for the way you opened this video with an apology. It once again speaks to your credibility. I do so wish this technique would work for me, but unfortunately my upper hood extends below the level of my lower lashline, and the hood itself is quite puffy (fatty?). I've had to simply accept that a wing just won't work for my eye shape, and it will remain that way unless I get an upper eye bleph.

[@evanemeskeri6016]

Hi Risa! I have a question to you. What s your best ideas for dark circles for a lady close to 60 with dark blonde blue eyes. Eyes age a lot more with dark dark circles. Concealers still show the dark circles. Any really good product for dark circles that really works?

[@Jennie-z6z]

Beautiful eyes and beautiful message! I love the lip combo too! Thank you Risa!

[@BigMamaKatieG]

Oh Risa, good Lord sweetheart, those of us that live on a fixed income CANNOT purchase an Ilios mirror for $259.00! I’ve followed you for a long time BUT I can’t keep quiet anymore. Yes I’m old as the hills, yes my eyes are more hooded than yours, so YES I need magnification but please try to remember that ‘some’ of your fans are sincerely wanting to learn from you yet just have no chance of being beautiful any longer. The more I watch, the more depressed I feel. Thanks for trying your best 😢

[@kimberlylovellette5117]

I am SO sorry you feel this way. I am sure you are beautiful regardless. I am 61 and thing's have significantly changed for me. Risa has encouraged me to want to spend time wearing make-up. She is so helpful and yes....stunningly beautiful. Keep your chin up. 😊

[@jacquiebeattie649]

I agree with you!!! I 'm 78 on fixed-income.

[@tracydodson9997]

Beauty is in your soul not a makeup bag. YOU ARE GORGEOUS!!!!! From a sister fixed income old lady and girl we gotta rock it!!!!!!

[@SueRipley-f5m]

Not sure what as old as the hills is but I'm 73. There are many good magnifying mirrors out there much cheaper and still help. Please dont let this make you feel depressed though I fully understand how you feel. seeing even a 50 yr. old makes me feel envious now and Risa doesn't even look 40 to me.. We can all improve our looks and features even by applying a little foundation, a bit of cheek colour and even just some mascara and some lipstick makes all the difference. My mum is 93 now and still wears foundation, cheek colour and some lipstick, She can not see well enough to wear ay eye makeup anymore but def looks more healthier than not bothering at all. So many compliment her saying she looks lovely cos she wears nice necklaces and clip on earrings to match her clothing, Its not just all about makeup but accessories and of course the person within that counts.
