Best Brow + Lash Tips for Women 35+

As we move through our mid thirties and beyond, it is completely normal for brows and lashes to change. Hair can become finer, lighter and less predictable in growth, while skin around the eyes may lose firmness. The good news is that with the right professional treatments and simple at home habits, brows and lashes can still look defined, lifted and beautifully maintained.

This guide walks you through exactly how to care for your brows and lashes in a way that suits this stage of life, without overdoing it or fighting against your natural features.

Start by assessing your natural brows and lashes

Before making any changes, take a moment to really look at your brows and lashes in natural daylight. A front facing photo with no makeup is ideal. Notice where brows have thinned, where the arch naturally sits and how your lashes grow. This gives you a realistic baseline and helps prevent over shaping or choosing treatments that do not suit your face.

Professional brow shaping creates the foundation

A professional brow shape is one of the most impactful steps you can take. Brows frame the eyes and can visually lift the entire face when shaped correctly. A trained brow artist will work with your natural brow line, bone structure and symmetry rather than forcing a trend.

During your appointment, ask your therapist to explain where your brow should start, where the arch should peak and where the tail should finish. Once this shape is established, it becomes much easier to maintain at home without over plucking.

Tinting restores depth and definition

As brow and lash hairs age, they often lose pigment. Brow tinting and lash tinting are simple treatments that add colour back into the hair, instantly making them appear fuller and more defined.

For the most natural result, choose a shade that is only one or two tones deeper than your natural colour. Overly dark tints can look harsh, especially on more mature skin. Tinting is ideal if you wear minimal makeup or want to simplify your morning routine.

Brow lamination for fuller, more controlled brows

If your brows are becoming unruly, sparse or grow in different directions, brow lamination can be a game changer. This treatment softens and sets the brow hairs into a uniform shape, creating the appearance of fuller brows with a clean, groomed finish.

After lamination, brushing brows daily with a spoolie and using a light brow styling product helps maintain the result. Avoid oil based products for the first 24 hours to ensure the treatment lasts as long as possible.

Maintain brows gently at home

Between salon visits, maintenance should be minimal. Trim only excessively long hairs and avoid plucking outside your professionally shaped brow line. Brushing brows upwards each day encourages a lifted appearance and helps you see which hairs truly need attention.

Applying a nourishing oil or brow conditioning product at night can help support hair health, particularly if brows are thinning.

Choose a lash lift to open the eye area

A lash lift curls your natural lashes from the root, instantly making eyes appear more open and refreshed. It is an excellent alternative to lash extensions if you prefer a low maintenance, natural look.

Results typically last several weeks. After your treatment, keep lashes dry and free from makeup for 24 hours so the curl can fully set.

Support lashes with a conditioning serum

Lash serums designed to condition and strengthen can be very helpful if lashes feel weaker or thinner. Apply as directed, usually along the lash line at night. Consistency is key, and results tend to be gradual rather than instant.

Cleanse with care

The skin around the eyes is delicate, especially as we age. When removing makeup, avoid rubbing or pulling. Use a gentle eye makeup remover, press the cotton pad onto the area and let the product dissolve makeup before wiping softly.

This protects both the hair and the skin, helping prevent unnecessary lash loss.

Avoid over tweezing and harsh techniques

Over tweezing is one of the most common causes of permanent brow thinning. Stick to the shape created by your brow specialist and resist the urge to remove hairs that may look out of place but are actually contributing to fullness.

If waxing is part of your routine, ensure it is performed by an experienced therapist who understands mature skin.

Keep a regular appointment schedule

Brows and lashes change gradually, so regular maintenance keeps them looking intentional rather than overworked. Brows are best maintained every three to six weeks, while lash lifts and tints typically last six to eight weeks.

Support the skin around the eyes

Healthy skin enhances the overall result of any brow or lash treatment. Use a hydrating eye cream with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or peptides. Apply gently, working from the inner corner outwards and up towards the brow bone.

Use makeup to enhance, not mask

For everyday definition, lightly fill brows using a pencil or powder close to your natural colour. Focus on sparse areas rather than drawing an entirely new brow. When applying mascara, start at the root and use a gentle zig zag motion to coat lashes evenly without clumping.

Final thoughts

Well groomed brows and lashes can make a noticeable difference at any age. With thoughtful professional treatments and consistent home care, you can maintain definition, lift and softness that enhances your natural features rather than overpowering them.
