I’m 52 & learned the best trick from a celeb makeup artist – it makes your eyes pop for a more youthful look
A BEAUTY enthusiast in midlife has shared a little-known makeup tip for instantly looking more youthful.
She revealed the hack was shown to her by a celebrity makeup artist who had experience working on different skin tones.
Caitlin Kiernan (@caitkiernan) has garnered almost 142,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares beauty tips for mature women.
The 52-year-old took to the social media platform to give a glimpse into how she applies her makeup.
“There is a trick that I do every single day that I learned many years ago from a celebrity makeup artist,” she said.
“And I realize I’ve never shared it with you, but if you are over 40, and especially if you’re over 50 this is a tip that’s gonna make you look amazing.
“Trust me.”
Caitlin had been interviewing the celebrity makeup artist when he began to share a trick he does on his “mature clients.”
She revealed he had worked on many A-list celebrities aged 45 and over.
“He told me that he generally works in neutral tones, beiges, browns, taupes, things like that,” Caitlin said.
“They tend to be more flattering as the skin gets crepey around the eyes.
“But he does do one thing to add a bit of color that instantly brightens the eyes and makes the entire makeup look cohesive.
“His tip was he takes the blush that he’s used on his celebrity clients' cheeks and takes a dab of it on a little tiny brush.
“He adds just a pop to the center of the eyelids.
The beauty guru demonstrated the hack using a pink shade of blush as she said it creates a better look than having a “warm cheek and a cool eye.”
She used the Thrive Causemetics Triple Threat Color Stick in the color Maggie, which is available from the brand’s website for $36.
“He sticks to warm rose tones and the reason for that is because they’re flattering on every skin tone,” she said.
“They add just a subtle softness of color that instantly makes the eye pop.
“That subtle pop of rose does a few things.
“Not only does it make the eye look more awake, but it plays up the color of the eyes.
“Makes the white of the eyes look brighter because blue is the base of the pink and just gives you a more youthful appearance.”
The video went viral with over 651,000 views and thousands of likes from people who were grateful for the advice.
