12 Best Eyeliners for Women Over 50 of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

The beauty routine you once followed in your 30s may not give the same results in your 50s. With age, it’s normal to experience a change in your skin, especially around your eyes. But this doesn’t mean you have to forgo a stunning makeup look, as there are plenty of great eyeliners for women over 50 that address common age-related issues while delivering rich, long-lasting color.

“Eyeliner plays a pivotal role in enhancing your makeup look, especially as we mature,” explains Makeup Artist and Owner of her eponymous beauty brand, Laura Geller. “I always recommend using top liner to accentuate the eyes, even for those with hooded lids.”

Meet the experts: Laura Geller, Makeup Artist, Beauty Pro, and Founder of her eponymous makeup brand, Laura Geller Beauty; and Nydia Figueroa, celebrity makeup artist

The hue you choose is also important, notes Nydia Figueroa, celebrity makeup artist. If you’re looking for “drama,” Figueroa suggests black; brown for something softer. “A navy blue to make the whites of their eyes brighter or a plum to make brown eyes pop,” she explains.

Whatever color you choose, you’ll want to ensure you’re picking the right formula. “I would avoid anything that is too liquidy as it can be hard to apply and also too harsh on the eyes,” she says. Geller mirrors this thought, “For those who may not have extensive experience with eyeliner application, I recommend steering clear of liquid formulas. While they can create stunning looks, liquid liners can be tricky to master and require a steady hand and a bit of practice to apply successfully.”

Ahead, find the best eyeliners for women over 50, according to beauty experts and our very own Prevention editors.

If they want drama they can use a black but if they want something softer brown would be the better option. They can pick a navy blue to make the whites of their eyes brighter or a plum to make brown eyes pop,” says Figueroa. Geller says, “for top liner, stick to neutral shades such as charcoal, brown, bronze, or deep inky black—these colors beautifully define your eyes without being overly harsh. When applying liner to the waterline, opt for softer hues to achieve a more natural look.”Type. Most of the eyeliners for women over 50 on our list are gel or pencil. “Pencil eyeliner is generally the better choice. It tends to be more forgiving and easier to work with, allowing for softer, more blended lines that can enhance your features without looking too harsh,” Geller says.”,”image”:”https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/prevention-line-break-1649261341.jpg”},{“@type”:”ListItem”,”position”:14,”name”:”What kind of eyeliner is best for women over 50?”,”url”:”https://www.prevention.com/beauty/makeup/g69605206/best-eyeliner-for-women-over-50/”,”description”:”“A soft gel pencil would be the best because it’s creamy which allows it to glide on easily, it’s blendable, and once it dries it doesn’t smudge or move,” says Figueroa.”,”image”:”https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/prevention-line-break-1649261341.jpg”},{“@type”:”ListItem”,”position”:15,”name”:”How we chose”,”url”:”https://www.prevention.com/beauty/makeup/g69605206/best-eyeliner-for-women-over-50/”,”description”:”We tested the Tower 28, Clinique, Revlon, Julep, and Jones Road Beauty picks, spoke with Makeup Artist and Beauty Pro Laura Geller; and Nydia Figueroa, celebrity makeup artist, for their recommendations.
