Should a 60 year old woman wear false eyelashes?

### Age Is Irrelevant—Style Matters The question shouldn't be "should someone over 60 wear lashes?" but rather "which lash style flatters mature eyes?" Women of all ages deserve to feel confident and beautiful. False lashes, when selected appropriately, enhance natural beauty rather than creating an artificial appearance. **What Changes with Age**: - Natural lashes may thin or lighten over time - Eyelid skin becomes more delicate - Lash follicles may produce shorter, sparser lashes - Eyes may appear smaller due to decreased lash density Properly chosen false lashes address all these concerns, restoring definition and openness to eyes. ### Choosing Age-Appropriate Lash Styles **Natural Look Options**: - Individual lash clusters rather than full strips - Brown or brown-black instead of stark black - Lightweight materials (silk, faux mink) for comfortable wear - Wispy, feathered styles rather than dense, uniform bands - Medium length (10-12mm) rather than dramatic lengths These characteristics create subtle enhancement that looks like naturally full lashes rather than obviously false additions. **Styles to Avoid**: - Ultra-dramatic, thick band lashes - Bright black on very fair coloring - Extremely long or spiky styles - Heavy, uncomfortable materials - Anything labeled "party" or "costume" lashes ### Professional vs. DIY Options **Eyelash Extensions**: Professional application offers the most natural results. Extensions attach individually to each lash, creating seamless integration with your natural lashes. Mature clients often prefer extensions because they: - Eliminate daily application difficulty - Look completely natural - Don't require steady hands or good close vision - Last 2-3 weeks between fills - Customize to your preferred subtlety level **Strip Lashes**: Require more application skill but offer flexibility. For special occasions, half-strip lashes (corner sections only) provide enhancement without overwhelming mature eyes. **Magnetic Lashes**: Easier application than glue-based strips, though still requiring some dexterity. The magnetic liner eliminates messy adhesive. ### Application Considerations for Mature Skin **Skin Sensitivity**: Mature eyelid skin often exhibits increased sensitivity. Choose: - Hypoallergenic adhesives - Gentler removal methods - Professional application to minimize irritation - Products specifically formulated for sensitive skin **Vision and Dexterity**: Applying strip lashes requires close vision and steady hands. If arthritis, tremors, or vision changes make self-application challenging, professional extensions eliminate this frustration entirely. **Comfort**: Heavy lashes feel uncomfortable on delicate eyelids. Lightweight extensions or natural-looking strips prevent the weighted, tired feeling that inappropriate lashes create.
