Hi ya Kimberley, Can I suggest you schedule a Personal Beauty Consult, we can address this specifically for you. shop.amandaramsay.com.au/pages/personal-beauty-consult
So, I'm 50, and I love shimmery, colorful pigments. I also have hooded eyes and the skin on my mobile eyelid is no longer firm..it kind- of slips around when I try to put eyeshadow on. So, the products I love the most I can't use every day. However, I pick 1 day of the week, when I'm not really going anywhere, and I wear the eyeshadows I adore. That way, I don't feel quite so deprived. I do the same with highlighters, because I love those, too!!! Makeup is to be enjoyed and to have fun being creative. It shouldn't have to be boring mattes all of the time just because we are aging!!!💗
Bluelilly40 I hear you. I’m so sad I can’t wear what I like. Its like one day my eyelids were fine and the next crinkly and droopy. I haven’t made peace with it yet. I just feel like I want to cry all the time. I wear sparkles around the house now. Aging skin is not fun. 😕
I think the beauty gurus play safe with older women, I think women over 50 can rock some wispy false lashes but for some reason the MUAs only do a half glam look on them ,sad !
Yes!!!! Totally agree!!!! Makeup is fun. I am 58 and i still wear my shimmery eye shadows after all i did pyrcgase them with my own money. But heres what i do. I create a cut crease and then i have room for my shimmery shadows.. there's also a ytuber that shows how to create a cut crease on older eyes Just type in cut crease for older women. Have fun!!!
This is by far one of the best if not the best videos I’ve found on truly explaining the reasoning for the application technique for hooded eyes! Thank you so much!!!!!!
Really great tips. Liked the info on matte eyeshadows. Made a lot of sense. I work as s nurse so really keep skincare a minimum. Just a healthy glow for work. Face cheeks etc. This will be great for off duty times. x
After 100’s of tutorials, this one is what my wrinkly deep set large eyes needed. So much prettier than the other stuff instructed and mush easier. Now if I can just get used to doing it right. Thank you!!!!
Having just found you, I've subscribed. As a 47yo fellow Australian, I'm looking forward to picking up tips that will not only work for my age, but also my climate. Heading over to your blog after I check out your other videos.
Woo hoo welcome Lisa. Great to have you in my tribe of awesome chicks over 40. xx Let me know if there is anything you would especially like to know. x
I am 52 and I'm so excited to watch this video because you are eyes are the closest to my eyes that I have seen I have been getting very experimental with my makeup by watching another older TH-camr and getting lots of compliments and I don't know if I'm doing it right still but fingers crossed I am hopefully if you have a minute take a look at some of my videos and tell me what I'm doing wrong with my makeup so I can share with others thank you so much you are so gorgeous
Hello Lisa, Rocking it girl! I'm delighted you've found me too. Thankyou for subscribing - I appreciate your support. I'm filming a few new videos on Wednesday so will have some fresh content coming soon. Stay with me. Amanda xxx
That is absolutely the best explanation I have ever seen! My eyes are extremely hooded and that windshield wiper high above the crease method never works for me. I've been trying for about a year and no improvement and it's all very frustrating so thanks so much for this!
Hoorah! Thankyou xx Pleased you found me. I'm not super active on TH-cam - struggle to keep up with all the platforms! But feel free to follow me over on Facebook and Instagram too @amandaramsaymakeup
Dear Amanda..how helpful this segment was to me.. I have tried to apply my eyeshadows on my crinkly hooded eyes your way..with the same type of brushes ...so much more control I had over creating that outer V...this is really a take home lesson for my type of eye shape..and I thank you dearly...I used a mauve matt shade with a bit of shampagne in the inner corner....big hug...Jana
Hooray! I've finally found my guru! We are the same age, look similar in colouring & face shape. And you don't pack it all on! Thank you & please keep posting...xxxx.
I think you are the first make-up artist I have watched who has spoken about deep set hooded eyes ... Thank you 😊 I am unable to curl my lashes as I cannot fit a curler into my socket, all curlers are far too big 😮
You are so pretty without makeup that I was looking forward to seeing how gorgeous you would look with make up. Thanks for the great tips! I was actually going to buy shimmery eye shadow but you changed my mind....I think I'm going to try MAC finally.
Please could you show the colours of the eyeshadow that you put on ,I don't always have them colours so I have to try mix them to make the same colours,that was great and I'm going to try it as my eyes are very hooded. It looks so easy when you do it but I can never get it right,I have to keep putting my glasses on to see what you are doing then take them of to put the shadow on my eyes,I find it hard to do as I can't really see when I take my glasses of,that was a great way to do hooded eyes thank you I will keep trying.
Hello Michelle, thankyou for your feedback. I will show the colours next time for sure. Matt Taupe (I think it was "Kid" from MAC. "Haux" would also work, but any matte taupe will work) And then I used a white shimmer. It was MAC White Frost). Do you have a magnifying mirror? I know, I know, they can be mean but they are ESSENTIAL for women who wear glasses. Amanda xx
Amanda Ramsay yes I have one of them mirrows I will give it a go thank you,I'm going to try with them colours,Thank you for replying to me,I have submitted to you and I'm going to keep watching what you do and trying them out.Thank you so much for your help.
OMG i just found someone with the same colours like me! I was trying to find somone like u since ages to follow. I have the same mousy hair and eyebrows like u do and more importantly i have the samw greenish eyes with some golden flecks inside and dark ring! I could never find a eyeshadow colour that would look good on me. When some eyeshadow looked goergous with my eyes it clashed with my skin tone! Im pretty sure that now i will see some of ur tutorials and will finaly get some answers. Is ur skin neutral???
Hello Welcome - yay so pleased you found me too. I apologise I'm not super active on TH-cam, struggle to keep up with alllll the platforms. Feel free to also follow me over on Facebook and Instagrm @amandaramsaymakeup Yes I'm pretty neutral x
Amanda my hooded portion of my eyelid really folds over my mobile lid almost to the point of touching the outer corner of my eye... which makes eyeliner past the corner impossible to do...any suggestions??
Hi Tara YES ... keep eyeliner contained within the last 3 eyelashes of your eye, does that make sense? Don't extend eyeliner beyond as it will only serve to visibly "drag" your eye down. xx
Hoorah! I'm delighted you've found me too. Love sharing my knowledge and having a laugh along the way. Shine bright lady. And if you're keen to see more, drop me a line, what would you really like to know? Visit my Beauty Blog at www.amandaramsay.com.au for more insider tricks and tips. xx
Thank you Amanda, that was really helpful & informative. I have hooded & crinkly eyes due to age, everything is slowly going south, not liking very much 👎😂
Thankyou. So lovely to have you on board! I appreciate your lovely comment. And I hear you sister - this ageing thing is a rollercoaster but we refuse to fade into the background. Stay with me. Shine bright. xx
Hi Amanda, I'm a 43 yo Aussie. I want advice about my eyes. I don't know even what to call my issue. I have hooded eyes and I think there are also deep set. But further, I have like a small kind of flap of skin where my nose and eyes meet that slightly sits over the eyelid. I do have some exposed mobile lid but it's almost like a mono lid just at the tear duct. Also this part of my eye kind of has no lid. It's like the lid, socket and brow Bon start a third of the way past my eye. So I am not sure how to get the best out of applying eye make up. What would you suggest?
The rest of us are catching up to you with age. Hooded eyes rule (I'm not sure why peeps get so hung up on it) We are all amazing and beautiful... exactly as we are. Right?
Thanks Dee, happy you've enjoyed watching my video. And YES you're absolutely right, I'm still figuring out how to use my camera. The saying "Old dog new tricks" springs to mind! Stick with me, I'll get there. Amanda x
Hi Dawn .. I do believe it does in fact make hooded eyes more hooded - so now you've just corroborated that! Just embrace the hood lovely ... there's stil plenty of fun to have with makeup x
Ah love ... hooded eyes are awesome! We mature ladies who didn't have them from birth just have some readjusting to do. You rock those hooded eyes girl!
I would love your recommendations for specific matte color names and products! Thank you SOOOO much!
Hi ya Kimberley, Can I suggest you schedule a Personal Beauty Consult, we can address this specifically for you. shop.amandaramsay.com.au/pages/personal-beauty-consult
Awesome 👏 video I’m attempting to apply makeup on my hooded eyes 👀
You can do it Sister! x
Being middle aged, I appreciate this. I wish some of those super popular makeup labels would come out with a whole collection focused on mature skin.
Hi Mandy, do you follow me on Instagram and facebook - I only talk about makeup ranges that work for mature skin... where are you located?
I live in SW Michigan outside of Kalamazoo.
Or are you asking where I am on social media?
So, I'm 50, and I love shimmery, colorful pigments. I also have hooded eyes and the skin on my mobile eyelid is no longer firm..it kind- of slips around when I try to put eyeshadow on.

It shouldn't have to be boring mattes all of the time just because we are aging!!!💗
Absolutely lovely! If you feel amazing - then you go for it! Whatever makes you feel good, rock it. That's the spirit! xxx

jacqueline schael Thankyou for your thoughtful comment. Delighted to help! Xx
Who sells matte eyeshadows or matte eyeshadow palettes? Australia doesn't have great budget cosmetics.
Ah we have access to some wonderful brands here in Australia! Head to Priceline xx

Very nice video.I was told that a bit of satin eyeshadows are nice something like Dior palettes are suitable for mature eyes.:)
Satin eyeshadows are LOVELY, too much matte finish can make us all a little drab. x

bonjour, great video, hello from france
Hello Audrey thanks for watching! And Hello from Australia. Amanda x
thank you for having answered, you live in a very beautiful country.
Hi Amanda, I'm a 43 yo Aussie. I want advice about my eyes. I don't know even what to call my issue. I have hooded eyes and I think there are also deep set. But further, I have like a small kind of flap of skin where my nose and eyes meet that slightly sits over the eyelid.

It's like the lid, socket and brow Bon start a third of the way past my eye. So I am not sure how to get the best out of applying eye make up. What would you suggest?
Oh, you look like Romi Schneider! 💖
Must Google her 😉 x
Yes, definately > Romy Schneider!!! Elegant woman...
Who wants a droopy eye? Haha! I loved that! I have heavy droopy, hooded eyes! Ugh!!!
Well it happens to us all eventually. It's inevitable. Hope you found the video entertaining .. and helpful. Amanda x
Hope you'll subscribe and maybe share the video with your lovely friends xx
I did enjoy the video for sure! Thank you! I am almost 40 and have had these hooded eyes for over 20 years!!! Will subscribe!!
Thankyou darling. So pleased to have you on board. Rock those hooded eyes girl! x
I was born with hoodes eyes. The only difference is now I am getting interested in makeup.
The rest of us are catching up to you with age. Hooded eyes rule (I'm not sure why peeps get so hung up on it) We are all amazing and beautiful... exactly as we are. Right?
Hello Amanda, thanks for the tutorial. I am promoting links between makeup and non-verbal communication - makeup and interpersonal skills.
Sounds great! All the best thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment lovely xx
So glad you didn't use eyeliner of any sort. We need every bit of lid we can get and I feel liner just erases more of it.
Hello Dana thankyou for stopping by and leaving a comment. Delighted to have you here x
Ha yes indeed I have all the above.
Embrace and love them, They are a part of you, and this next chapter of your life xx
Great technique. Your white balance is off. Vid was too light. Just a suggestion! Loved it though! I have very hooded eyes so thank you!
Thanks Dee, happy you've enjoyed watching my video. And YES you're absolutely right, I'm still figuring out how to use my camera. The saying "Old dog new tricks" springs to mind! Stick with me, I'll get there. Amanda x
I like you!
Getting botox did not lift my hooded droopy creepy skin. So no hope there for me!!
Dawn Wallace I think it made mine worse! I stopped getting it around the eyes.
Hi Dawn .. I do believe it does in fact make hooded eyes more hooded - so now you've just corroborated that! Just embrace the hood lovely ... there's stil plenty of fun to have with makeup x
I have hooded and droopy eyes./:
Join the Club ... it's all good .. just embrace it
can you remove or lower the background music way down. You have a soft voice, which makes it very difficult to understand with the loud background.
Hello lovely thankyou for your message. There is no music on this video so I'm not sure what you mean? Amanda x
When you were born with hooded eyes and they’re called ‘mature’ eyes😭😭😭
Ah love ... hooded eyes are awesome! We mature ladies who didn't have them from birth just have some readjusting to do. You rock those hooded eyes girl!
Bla bla bla bla bla bla.como habla esta Sra y al final. No hizo nada
Thanks for stopping by.
