Make up early 50s

I've no wrinkles . I do t know how - but I haven't!

I am coveting a morphe eye palette with some crazy shades! Can a 51 year old with no wrinkles or crows feet work a pigmented pallet ? Like blues and geeens ? My eyes are green and I got a morphe pallette of burgundy and browns and love it and I wear it with a berry liner - stopped wearing a black liner , but still wear false lashes (natural not mega )

Am I tool old for a coloured eye ? I'll include a pic of my eye ....

So I can't do both lips and eyes - but really wanting to have a play with eye make up - but conscious of the fact I am in my 50s now and do t want to look desperate.

Buy whatever palette you like, but I'm not sure blues and greens will suit you. Warm browns and reds look good.
Have a look at Natasha Denona ones.

That's kind of why I quite liked that pallet because there's a host of different colours including red sand browns .....

I have always stuck to safe colours- browns mainly....

I wouldn't buy that palette as its so large and bulky and it would really annoy me. Personally I'd try quads with different colour ways. The elf ones always have good reviews.

But my personal favourite brands are Dior quints, Shiseido quads, Mac x 9 palettes and Chanel quads. I'm 44 and wear shimmers and brights. I prefer soft shimmers to mattes, I find mattes very unforgiving which is the opposite to popular belief.

If I do bold eyes I'll wear a pinky blush and a slightly shimmery nude pink glossy lipstick unless it's a really dressy event and I'd go bold for both.

I”m 52 and if I like something I wear it, same as I did at 22.
I think a Smokey eye would look great on you.
