Going shopping tomorrow for new make up. If you are 40ish what eyeshadow do you use?

[Jemster]

I am 40 & looking tired. I am going to treat myself to some new make up & tomorrow I'd like to get an eyeshadow but have no idea what to go for as never really bothered with it.

I have dark brown quite small eyes. I have olive sallowy skin which means I have dark areas under & above my eyes. It makes me look tired so I want to brighten this up but keep it natural looking.

What eyeshadow would be best; powder or cream & what colours?

I've had a quick look online but am a bit overwhelmed with the vast amount of choice. I do like Clinique as I can react to things but seem to get on well with this make.

If you don't want a palette, I'd go to Mac and ask them to find you the best, most flattering neutral for you - either grey or brown.

You'll be out by now OP but just to second Mac too - I've always found their assistants to be really lovely, kind and listen to what you want.

Go to bobbi brown and ask for a free consultation.

Another vote for Bobbi Brown. Have had some excellent advice on counters and love their cream eye shadow.

Let us know what you have bought!

I find Boots No7 quite good.
