Whatever makes you feel good, use it, there is no age limit.

Don’t give up anything because of age ...adapt and carry on !

I just think that “less is more” as we age, I wear as little as poss as I hate that obviously “trying too hard to look young” look. The secret is to look as natural as possible.

Why do you feel that you need to stop wearing make up go with what makes you happy and comfortable. There's no age limit for makeup.

False eyelashes may make the situation worse. Why not have your own lashes tinted at a salon...makes rhe world of difference.

Any tips to putting on in everyday eyelashes? Mine are sadly falling out? I got some and have no idea what to do.

At all costs avoid looking like the late Barbara Cartland unless you are happy about people mocking you. Otherwise, use whatever make-up you like – and that includes eyeliner if you want to. I would recommend brown or grey eyeliner applied to the inside rather than the outside of the lids. But if you don't want to, don't. Enjoy being the woman you are now and looking like the woman you are now.

Softly smudged eyeliner’s fine, just don’t draw a solid black line. Depending on your eye colour and skin tone, try a grey or purple colour around the eyes.
There’s no age limit with make-up. Wear whatever gives you confidence.

Don't stop until you want to stop. Soft colours will look great, I think.

Defintely ditch the eyeliner but a lovely soft eye make up will bring your eyes out. I would defintely not give up wearing it and enjoy doing it. I would get it done in a shop or spa and follow that. Age is nothing to do with it.

There is no age limit, wear the makeup you feel comfortable wearing.

At what age do I stop using eye makeup? I am 81 and don't want to look like mutton dressed as lamb.I stopped using eye liner last year and now just use eye shadow and have my eyebrows tinted.I have white hair. Please advise.
