I’m happy to say that didn’t happen at our son’s wedding. He and his bride asked my advice a few times. Before the wedding, it was “Me” to the rescue with needle and thread to help mend her crinoline after the hem was torn.

And…I didn’t wear beige. I wore Aubergine!!!

I love the 70 years young approach! I understand what you may be going through with the mascara. Perhaps a waterproof mascara is the way to go for you. Try applying only to the top lashes. Sometimes the lower lashes are the culprit because of the natural shape of the eye. With a brown, black or gray eye pencil line the inside rim of your lower lashes. This will give you some definition to the eyes and perhaps less smearing. A tiny bit of matching eyeshadow under the lower lashes will assist in keeping the pencil in place.

As for the eyebrows, I use an eye shadow instead of a pencil for a softer more natural look. You will need a shadow closest to the color of your brow hairs and an angle brush to apply the color. This type of brush will give you more definition to the shape of the brow. Blend the color into the brow by brushing up with a brow brush. Please take a moment to view the eyebrow video that is on the Midnight Velvet website as well for a visual.

Hopefully these hints are helpful to you. Please let me know how these ideas work and if there is anything else I can help you with.

Best Regards,
xoxo

Any secrets or tips that can help me out, here? They would be much appreciated. :) thank you.

Also, my eyes are deepset and whenever I put mascara on it always leaves black or brown under my eyes and looks terrible. I try and try to use all the little “secrets” for doing mascara but nothing works….so is the only answer to not wear mascara on eyes that need some “punch”?
