Best Mascaras for Women Over 50 + Mascara Tips

If I had to leave the house on a moment's notice and only had time to choose one makeup item, I think I would pick mascara! It helps define your eyes, especially for blondes like myself, while making them look brighter and more alert. Today, I wanted to chat about some of the best mascaras for women over 50, as well as some of my favorite mascara tips for helping your lashes look their very best.

There are hundreds of brands of mascara available, and the best mascara is the one that works the best for your eyes and eyelashes. If you have found a mascara that you love, stick with it (and share it with us in the comments below). If you are shopping for a new smudge-proof, clump-free mascara to lift and lengthen your lashes, keep reading for a list of my favorites.

I was skeptical when I ordered this mascara the first time since it is 4.99! I was paying waaaay more for "designer brands," and I had never heard of this one. But, I saw the number of reviews and decided to give it a try. I’m now a believer, and I’ve used this ever since. I usually wear the Essence Lash Princess, but I hate raccoon eyes at the pool, so I prefer the waterproof version if I’m going to be swimming.

One coat of mascara is all that I ever use, and this mascara covered great and really made my eyelashes look fabulous. It's a great and affordable makeup find at under $8!

If you are little more conscience about what products and ingredients you use on your face and skin, you should try Honest Beauty Co. This cruelty-free mascara is made with natural ingredients, and it comes with a primer!

Here is another clean mascara to deliver fluffy, full lashes. The nontoxic ingredients and the fact that it is easy to remove make it ideal for those with sensitive eyes or that wear contacts. You can see me applying this mascara in this post!

If you’re looking for great mascara on a budget, this drugstore mascara is under $10. I have a friend who uses this, and she raves that it doesn't flake and makes her lashes look so full and long.

Have you ever used anything from the Too Faced brand? I’ve used several things from their company over the years, and I am never disappointed. This mascara has a funny name, but the reviews say the name is accurate (LOL!).

Prep your lashes with this best-selling eyelash curler before adding your mascara to make sure they are lifted and curled.

I hate the look of clumpy eyelashes! I like to keep a handy eyelash comb like this in my makeup bag to make sure my lashes are separated.

Have you ever tried an eyelash primer? It creates an even base for your mascara while nourishing and conditioning your lashes. I never used to use primer because I didn't see a difference in my lashes. My daughter taught me that I have to apply the primer and let it set before applying the mascara. I usually apply it and move on to another part of my hair or makeup routine while I am waiting for the primer to dry.
