Best eye make-up for crepey lids and dry eyes in your sixties?

[Headinthecloudsfeetontheground]

Hello :-)

I'm in my sixties and live in London. For many years I've had dry eye which is pretty well managed with drops night and morning. I have normal skin which is very good for my age (beautician neighbour drummed skincare into me from my early teens). However, inevitably, the skin around my eyes has become a little crepey and whatever I use in the way of eye make-up settles into the creases and forms lines and blobs - yuck!

I much prefer eye shadow in powder form as every single brand of cream/pencil that I've tried (and that's a lot!) is worse than powder. My go-to is MAC, which is somewhat better than the rest but I still get lines and blobs with it. I've tried all types of eye shadow base (both cream and powder), some of which make a slight difference but still don't solve the problem.

Naturally I've Googled/AI'd this, but none of the recommendations work for me. So, please, has anyone found a solution?

I’m 55. No advice sadly but following with interest. Even eyeliner goes on ridiculously badly when your eyes become crepey. Good luck for some more knowledgeable than me to come along.

Have you considered permanent eyeliner? I have the same problem as you and don’t wear eyeliner, mascara and eyeshadow. At 58 I’m ready to try a subtle upper lid tattoo. I’ve had my eyebrows done and loved the results.
