Quick and Easy Makeup Look for Older Hooded Eyes
Spring is here! That means you need a spring makeup look!
Follow along, and learn how to achieve this natural spring makeup look for older women, especially older hooded eyes like mine.
Although I have warm-toned skin, the colors I recommend in this tutorial are suitable for both warm and cool-toned skin.

1. Prepare your skin
Start with clean, moisturized skin.
Mix a small amount of beauty balm and foundation on your hand and blend them together with a foundation brush for a dewy look.
Apply it starting from the center of your face and blend outwards towards the hairline and neck.
2. Add blush
Choose a peach cream blush and apply it to the apples of your cheeks using a blush brush.
Make a teardrop, or tadpole shape by starting with a small circle on the apple of your cheek, and blend it upwards towards the temples for a natural flush.
3. Apply eye makeup
Apply a light rose gold eyeshadow to the lids to brighten them.
Use warm brown eyeshadows to define the crease and outer corners of the eyes.
Create a nice clean line by placing a tissue along the outer edge of where you want your shadow to be, and applying the shadow along that edge.
Blend well to create a lifted effect.
Soften the edges of the eyeshadows with a blending brush.
Apply eyeliner underneath your eyes using a deep mauve or complementary color to make your eyes pop.
Soften the eyeliner a bit with a small blending brush.
Clean up the edges and highlight under your brow and under your eye with a thin highlighter brush.
Blend in the highlighter with your fingertip.
4. Define your brows
Use a dark brown brow product to fill in and shape your brows.
Start in the middle of your brow and work outward.
Then blend the edges with a spooly brush for a softer look.
Finish by applying mascara to your lashes, wiggling the wand from the roots to the tips for volume and length.
5. Complete your lips
Line your lips with a raspberry lip liner to define the shape.
Fill in your lips with a pink lipstick for a springtime hue that complements warm tones.
You can try different lip colors for different occasions. Soft coral is a bright, summery color perfect for daytime or garden parties.
Glitzy glamorous Hollywood red is a classic for a bold, glamorous look.
6. Set your makeup
Use a powder brush to lightly dust translucent powder over your face to set the makeup.
Optionally, use bronzer to add warmth to the forehead and cheeks, blending in a "C" shape motion from the temples to the cheeks.

Experiment with different makeup colors and combinations to find what works best for you.
