Makeup help for 68 year old starting to fall apart - lip liner, eyeliner and under eye bag concealer!

Good morning. I am desperately in need of help! It's so easy to get sucked in by the advertising, and I don't want to buy a product that doesn't work! I am pretty happy with my looks - I made the best of what I have but wish I was taller, I am just under 5 foot. Most people used to think I was at least 5 years younger or more. Not so much now! Nowadays, when I look in the mirror with my glasses on, I am pretty shocked. I am OK with my foundation and mascara - Clinique and also my lip colour - Maybelline 24-hour colour, BUT my lips have those awful lip bleed lines, and I have always had under eye bags. I don't mind paying for a great product, but so many are disappointing. I am not good with eyeliner, but I like a bit of subtle definition. So far, I haven't found an eyeliner pen I can use. Was tempted by Victoria Beckhams kajal pencil. Any advice would be gratefully received. I know I can't expect miracles, but I am sure you can give me some great advice.

Good tips here, I really rate Erica Taylor, she makes product recommendations.

I'm thinking you need lip liner if you have lipstick bleed, and perhaps the same liner used on the lips themselves with a gloss over it would be enough.

The key to your face is soft natural color on eyes, lips, cheeks. Focus on hydrating illuminating foundation that isn't heavy. Light to medium coverage.

Although she is a lot younger than us Hannah Martin does some lovely make up looks on instagram using makeup that looks very glowy and natural . I bought a lovely sparkly Dior lip gloss after seeing one . Another has me lusting after a very pretty and dewy blusher . The videos aren’t the same as adverts as you can really see how they look I think.
