For many women over 50, applying eyeliner can feel tricky—especially when that little nude line under the lashes seems to betray your efforts. Beauty expert Nikol Johnson shares a “sneaky” trick that completely transforms mature eyes, making them appear more defined and polished with minimal effort.
“Today I’m teaching you this little sneaky trick that I don’t think you know about—it’s going to be a big game changer for women over 50 with their eyeliner,” Nikol says. “It’s not anything I’ve ever shown before, and I want you to know about it.” Read on to learn about her life-changing tip.
The ‘Sneaky’ Eyeliner Trick For Mature Women
The key, Nikol explains, is tightlining—coloring the space right along the lash line to eliminate that prominent lighter area that can make the eyes look unfinished.
“When you put on eyeliner or shadow, sometimes you’ll see that whole nude line underneath your lashes,” she notes. “It makes a world of difference if you take a pencil and color that tight line—it closes your eyes down just enough to make the whole eye look cohesive and polished.”
Her step-by-step method is refreshingly simple:
Start with your eyeshadow first, keeping the lid light while adding depth at the outer corners.
Then, using a sharpened pencil eyeliner, carefully fill in the tight line beneath your lashes.
Curl your lashes and apply mascara to grab every lash, giving the appearance of fuller, more dramatic lashes.

With this technique, mature women can achieve a polished, lifted eye look without heavy makeup or complicated techniques. As Nikol reminds us, “These tricks are so subtle, but they make your eyes pop and really elevate your makeup game.”
