Eyeliner for women over 50

I have had several women in the past week ask me about make up for women over 50plus. They have either read about makeup in magazines or have watched a makeover on television on women over 50. One of the areas that is always in question is whether one should use an eyeliner and eye makeup. There are no hard fast rules on eyeliner. I frankly believe that as we get older, our eyes need to be played up more. As we mature, our lashline is diminished. We tend to have shorter and fewer lashes. An eyeliner really should be renamed "lash definer" .... for that is the function of an eyeliner. I see eyes come to life with the proper application of an eyeliner. There is no age limit to looking good. Its like saying one should not wear blue as we age - it is utter nonsense to put limits on what looks great on a face. We are each very unique individuals, if you have questions on what looks best on your particular face, I suggest you seek the advice of a professional makeup artist. Remember, beauty editors are not makeup artists .... their job is to write about things that the major advertisers in their magazines want them to feature!!
