If your eyeliner makes your eyes look smaller, heavier, or more tired, you may be making one of these common eyeliner mistakes.

In this video, we’re breaking down 7 eyeliner mistakes that can make women over 60 look older and, more importantly, exactly what to do instead. You’ll learn how eyeliner thickness, placement, direction, contrast, lid space, and lower-lash definition can change the way your eyes appear.

We’ll cover:

Eyeliner that is too thick

Completely circling the eye with dark liner

Pulling the outer corner downward

Using eyeliner with too much contrast

Ignoring your natural lid space

Putting too much emphasis on the lower lash line

And the bigger principle that connects all of these eyeliner mistakes


You’ll also learn simple ways to check your eyeliner in the mirror, compare one eye with the other, and make small adjustments without needing to buy new makeup.

The goal isn’t to follow one rigid eyeliner rule.

It’s to understand what your own eyes need visually and let your makeup support that.

Because beautiful eyeliner isn’t about drawing a perfect line.

It’s about creating definition while keeping the eyes looking balanced, open, polished, and naturally expressive.
