Build definition at the corner of the eye
Definition is built with small circles and makes sure to blend the colors evenly. Apply only a little at first and use more as you build the definition. Remember to blend the colors.

What does it mean to “cut the crease?” Lightly tap a lighter color on the crease of the lid and blend the eyeshadow with the darker color.

Hydrate with SPF protection
One of the most important steps before applying foundation is to hydrate the skin. Applying sunscreen will also help protect her from skin damage plus make her skin look supple and plump.

Add a primer layer
Before applying foundation, apply primer first. Use this product in areas where there are fine lines. The primer will also help keep the foundation in place on top of the primer.

Add foundation with a damp sponge
The damp sponge is important for this step. This will cover any blemishes you may have and it will make sure that you get full coverage.

Apply a lighter shade of concealer
When applying concealer, apply it on the high points of the face. Apply it on top of the cheekbones, the corners of the mouth, above the lip, and on the bridge of her nose. Apply concealer with the same shade of the skin under the inner corner of the eyes and blend outward. Keep one part of the cheekbone lighter because it elongates the face and defines the cheekbone.

For a more dramatic look, add fake eyelashes
With mature women, the eyelashes would have become thinner and skimpier. False eyelashes will make it look longer and open up your eyes.
