Welcome back to week two of our makeup tutorial series for women over 50! This week’s look is called Champagne Shimmer, and it’s all about radiant eyes, winged liner, and a confident red lip. Three elements that never go out of style.

Whether you're heading to a dinner party or just want to feel fabulous on a Tuesday, this makeup for mature skin proves that shimmer and bold color are still totally wearable after 50, if not more stunning than ever.

✨ This Week’s Look: Champagne Shimmer

For this glamorous yet age-appropriate look, we’ll be using:

• Two soft shimmery eye shadows in neutral champagne tones

• A liquid eyeliner to create a dramatic winged look

• A peachy-pink blush to balance the bold lip

• A classic red lipstick

📌 Pro Tip: If red lipstick feels intimidating, try a sheer or satin finish for a softer effect. This is one of my favorite mature beauty tips for wearing bold lip color confidently.

Please note that all six of the looks featured in this series were curated by professional makeup artists especially for the Mary Kay Makeover Contest that runs from July 15, 2025 - August 31, 2025. I am using the exact shades, brushes, and application techniques as specified for each look. Learn about the Berry Noir look HERE.

🖌 Step-by-Step Instructions:

This look brightens the complexion and adds lift to the eyes. Here’s a quick breakdown of how I applied each product (and don’t worry, I’ll link everything I used in the final look below):

1. Eyes First – Apply a soft champagne shimmer to the lid and a slightly deeper shimmer in the crease for dimension. Then add a very dark brown in the outer corner in a v-shape.

2. Winged Liner – Take your time and add a black liquid eyeliner to the top lashes using a dab and lift technique, focusing on creating a wing at the outer corner. This really flatters mature lids.

3. Blush & Highlight – Apply a warm, shimmery peach blush along your cheekbones with a traditional blush brush. This provides a cheek color as well as a subtle highlighter to bring back your youthful glow.

4. Bold Lip – A blue-red lipstick instantly brightens the face and makes teeth look whiter. This one is matte, but feel free to substitue whatever undertone and finish makes you feel most confident!

💬 My Thoughts on This Look

Each tutorial in this series gives me a chance to try something new—and remind you that makeup after 50 is all about what makes you feel beautiful. Here are my thoughts about Champagne Shimmer:

• It feels festive without being over the top.

• I love the effect of the winged liner!

• I was surprised by how much I like the shimmery peach blush.

• I don't care for a matte lip, especialy over 50. If I were to rethink this combination I would use a glossy lipstick add a lip liner to keep that bold red lip in place.
