If the eyes are the windows of the soul, let Liz Wilde show you how to have a youthful soul! Here are some of her make-up tips for younger-looking eyes.

To give your face the illusion of lift, choose a foundation one shade lighter than your normal one. Apply it around the entire eye socket and on top of your cheekbones to create lightness across the centre of your face.

A flattering blush can take attention away from your eyes (and the crow's feet around them), and bring back a youthful glow. For a fresh look use a mauve - or rose-based colour, which will mimic the natural flush of your cheeks. And remember, blusher isn't for contouring, so use a light hand to apply just over the apples of your cheeks.

Strong colours look hard on older skins and draw attention to places you may not desire to highlight after a certain age! Instead, choose softer versions of the more intense colours you normally wear, or switch to neutral shades like nude, peach, rose and brown.

Shimmery eyeshadows will only highlight laughter lines and crepey eyelids, so avoid them at all costs.

Nothing opens up eyes more than curling your eyelashes. Also, match mascara to your lashes (black mascara on brown lashes is very ageing).

Wax eye pencils will drag your eye all over the place, so choose a cream-to-powder liner, which is easier to apply and more long-lasting.

Keep your brows well defined to stop them from looking sparse. Use a soft pencil (blunt the end on the back of your hand first) or matte eye shadow applied with a stiff brush, and choose a colour one shade lighter than your brows.
