The Mistake: Using the Wrong Mascara While voluminous lashes are great, you want to think carefully about what kind of mascara you're using. For one, Bass says mature eyes should avoid the clumpy mascara trend, as this style is too harsh and aging on older skin, and can smudge and run, accentuating dark circles and fine lines. Yikes.
When selecting a mascara, Babaian and Bass recommend waterproof products. "Mature eyes tend to water, and waterproof mascaras are actually lighter on the eyes so they won't weigh down the lashes," Babaian says. She suggests L'Oréal Voluminous Carbon Black Waterproof Mascara, $8.49, for a budge-free product that won't irritate sensitive eyes.
But if you're not a fan of waterproof mascaras, Maalouf recommends picking up a tubing mascara. "It won't fall down your face, and it comes off with soap and water," Maalouf says. We like D.J.V Miaray Fiberwig Mascara, $19.
