How to Care for Your Eyes and Look Amazing As You Age

Let’s talk about something no one really warns us about , dry, tired, sensitive eyes… and makeup that suddenly just doesn’t feel right anymore. Sound familiar?

If you’re over 40, like me, you might be wondering:

“Why are my eyes reacting to makeup I’ve worn for years?”

“Why does my skin feel so dry and irritated lately?”

You’re not alone — and no, you’re not being dramatic.

Let me share a few tips, some new favourite finds, and a little styling magic to help you feel like YOU again.

💧 The Truth About Dry, Sensitive Eyes

Here’s what’s really going on…

As we age (thanks hormones 🙄), our bodies produce fewer natural oils and tears. That means:

  • Your eyes get drier
  • Your skin become more sensitive
  • Old favourites like mascara or foundation suddenly cause redness, itching, or watering eyes

Yep. The joys of being fabulous and 40+, but don’t stress, there are gentle, beautiful solutions.

 

Your Eyes Need TLC Too

First stop: comfort and care. I swear by my little secret weapon…

👉 EyeRevive Steam Eye Masks

These beauties are:

✅ Self-heating

✅ Soothing for tired, dry eyes

✅ Perfect before bed or after screen time

✅ Smell like relaxation in a packet

Pop one on for 20 minutes and let the warmth melt away tension. Pure eye bliss. 😌

🌿 Clean Makeup that Won’t Irritate

Let me introduce you to my latest love:

👉 Faire Ravine by Your Colours – clean, organic makeup made right here in Australia

Why I’m obsessed:

💖 Gentle on the eye area

💖 No nasties (bye parabens + fragrances)

💖 Looks fresh, dewy, and natural

💖 Perfect for sensitive, mature skin

Whether it’s their mascara, blush or lipstick or foundation — I’m genuinely impressed. This is makeup that works with your skin, not against it. 

 

Makeup + Glasses = Your Signature Look

You don’t have to ditch makeup when your eyes feel sensitive. You just need to tweak a few things, and pair it with the right eyewear (that’s where I come in 😉).

Here’s my top styling combo:

✨ Light mascara + creamy blush + a frame that flatters your features

✨ Skip heavy eyeliner — go for a soft pencil or just a gorgeous lash lift

✨ Frame your brows to balance your glasses

✨ Add a pop of lip colour to bring everything together

Clean makeup + stylish frames = your effortless, radiant look.
