No one is too old for glitter! just do very subtle sparkle with pared down makeup. Glitter on end of eyelashes like forlornhope said or a hint of sparkle on liner

mrswill · 17/12/2009 13:30

I agree, slightly draggy.

Have only been coaxed to the darkside wearing lipliner, as i watched a programme about the science of beauty, the specific proportions, and how makeup tricks can bring your face closer to the ideal blah, blah. One of the tips was lipliner on the toplip. Needless to say, i sucked it up

brimfull · 17/12/2009 13:32

eyeborws also important
i always forget my lips ( the ones on my face)

CybilServant · 17/12/2009 13:33

Mayornaze - this is probably obvious but make sure you warm the sparkly eyeliner up first, as the cheaper brands tend to be very hard, an you'll be thinking i talked a load of shite. Sorry if your a hardened maker upper and already know this!

MayorNaze · 18/12/2009 12:29

right i have been to boots and now have sparkly black eyeliner!!! and green mascara!!

and therefore i also have free sparkly lipgloss

all barrym. thanks baz

bit unsure about green mascara, am bit concerned might look like a xmas tree...

lipgloss v g - had choice of schoking pink or au natrual - though better go neutral and sparkly.



*** look at the lovely trail of sparkle i am leaving
