Wrinkly eyelids - how to apply make up and is there anything that helps

Hi,
I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I'm 35 and not bothered particularly about my crows feet, however my eyelids are getting more wrinkly. It makes it difficult to apply eyeliner and I have to sort of stretch my eyes out to do it 🤣
My main question, are there any products that would actually improve this? Also, any tips on applying make up to wrinkly eyelids? I don't use much make up anyway but I do like a nice bit of liquid eyeliner sometimes.

Watching. I am at this stage and have ditched any sharp edged eyeliner styles ie liquid eyeliner and flicks, in favour of more casual soft edged looks with fat pencils and chubby sticks. Maybe there is a better solution though.

I find using dark powder shadow with a separate thin liner brush works better than pencils or liquid. You can dampen the brush to give a longer lasting finish.
An eye cream can help with wrinkly or crepey lids.

I'm well into my 50s so have definitely got wrinkly eye lids. I've found that using primer on my eyelids before applying eye shadow really helps. Using cream eyeshadow with primer underneath helps too.
