I tried some monsoon powder eyeshadow today and looked horrific. Maybe I put too much on but it seemed to make my eyelids look so wrinkled.

Laura Mercier goes on very smoothly and doesn't crease.

Becca eye creme is what you need. I use the vicuña shade every day for work. It lasts all day without creasing and doesn't accentuate my 'laughter lines' like powder seems to these days.

If in doubt go for a neutral ish colour with a shimmer (not glitter) as the light will bounce off the shimmer almost erasing the appearance of crinkly lids!

I find that shimmer has the opposite effect for me: makes me look super-wrinkled.

Yeah, shimmer is crinkle city for me too.

Hmm

Even the beauty features in magazines tell us wrinkly eyed women to stay away from shimmer. Shimmery eye shadows are disastrous on my eyes.

I think Becca have gone under < weeps real tears >

Sickandsad · 27/12/2012 22:12

No!!! Off to stockpile Vicuña eye creme now....

waitingforgodot · 27/12/2012 22:57

ah this was a shimmer eyeshadow. I usually wear a matt. Could be the problem?
