Good morning. I'm new to this site. It looks like a friendly informative place to browse and share tips. I'm in my fifties and have good skin although I have lots of wrinkles all round my eyes . I've tried various make up tips which really highlight the wrinkles which is so disappointing. My eyes are small and brown. I've tried the smoky look and brown eyeliner is a definite no no. This sounds very dated but a soft blue is my go to which people have commented that it looks nice but it doesn't stay put and I need to try something different. Any suggestions? I've looked on you tube and suggestions are brown but this just looks awful. Thank you

Surely the same brand in a different colour will have the same staying qualities?

If the world ever gets back to normal I'm going to have mine doctored.

That's the thing, other colours just make me look older. I think I need a make up artist to show me some techniques. I'll be having mine doctored toogrin

They say that brown eyes look best with pale blue/ grey eyeshadow and blue eyes with taupe/ brown, so you are doing the right thing.
Make sure that you use a lightweight foundation and no powder products near your crowsfeet ( we all have ‘em)?
I don’t mind them, it makes a face look lived in and shows that you laugh a lot.

I'd give the eye shadow and liner a miss as they just tend to settle in wrinkles - or emphasise them!
