I normally just stick a bit of brown eyeliner and mascara on. I'd like to make a bit more of my eyes. Eyes are blue with dark blonde hair. Bonus points if I can buy stuff in Boots tomorrow 😅

A base of Beauty Pie cream shadow stick in beige bombshell on lid and up to brows. Sweep over a brush of Boots no.7 eyeshadow in rose gold on the lid and crease. Blend in a bit of Mac eyeshadow in a really dark brown/black (can’t remember the colour) on the lid. Smudge in some Bobbi Brown kajal eyeliner under eye, Beauty Pie black mascara.

GOSH eyeshadow sticks. No primer needed. Creaseproof and long lasting.

This is what I’ve come up with having watched a lot of YouTube tutorials. I used to do shadow in the socket line but my eyes have got really hooded the past couple of years so this is better for me. I use a Mac neutral palette-I’m blonde with blue eyes

Getting older, I have almost no lips so it's all about the eyes for me.

I have the Clinique chubby stick in Cole but it really drags so I use it on back of hand then apply with finger

I have loads of space between eyelid and brow so can't take anything up to brow really. I'd like to learn how to ttightline top lid but wear contacts so it's quite hard.

A glamorous colleague at work put me onto MAC lipstick. It really is long lasting and has the wow factor. Doesn't bleed either

I’ve rediscovered all my old MAC lipsticks and have been wearing a different one most days.

As you say, they’re very long lasting, have the wow factor and don’t bleed. Thank god I didn’t get rid of them!

I tightline every day and wear contacts and have no problems. I use a liquid liner-Collection Fast Stroke Eye Liner and it's amazing. Doesn't budge all day. I wear Bobbi Brown eyeshadow sticks on my eyelids-again amazing! Don't budge at all and come in lots of beautiful colours. I apply these to my lids up to the crease then blend a bit with my fingers to just above the crease.
