That's the best eye color description I've ever heard! It perfectly describes my eye color and my sister's too. Differently shaped eyes but identical color.

Shanus, I recently bought a Floxite mirror that magnifies about 20X. I'm finding tiny little pimples I can't see with my normal vision. I'm assuming these are from the heat we've been experiencing. I use Purity and/or Huggies baby wipes for cleanser. Just went back to silicone primer and BE powder after a year of nothing under a mask.

@depglass I so dislike those highly magnified mirrors! Lol. So, my usual advice is to stop whatever NEW you've started using and go to a mild, non-irritating cleanser like Cetaphil. Huggies, do leave a film on the skin. You also can become sensitive to silicone. BE powder has bismuth in it and you can become sensitive to that. I'd try to eliminate all if you had no little bumps while being without anything under your mask. See if it clears up. If yes, add back one thing at a time and see what happens.

Your derm can also take a look....If it isn't itching, hasn't been there before you started the silicone primer (that'd be my guess), give it a few weeks and if still there, check w/ your derm.

@Shanus , i had a ? the other day, but couldn't post. I have issues with lining lower lash area. Pencil, liquid, waterproof, it always disappears after a couple hours. I'v tried putting a bit of shadow primer under my lower lashers then apply eye liner and then dust with a bit of either powder or eye showdow and it still disappears. Any suggestions for me?

@catter70 I stopped putting any product under my eyes except a fine line of medium tone shadow on the outer third. Between eye creams, concealers, etc., it's a losing battle. I dot the shadow between my lower lashes to just thicken the look of my lashes and not try to make a darker distinct liner.

***Apply a bit of Laura Mercier Undereye Brightening Powder under your eye to set your concealer BEFORE applying your liner or my idea of using a shadow only.

Thanks, @Shanus , I also don't use eye cream when I'm gonna use eye makeup. I will try what you suggested. You are a fountain of information.

@catter70 IMHO, an undereye cream, even if a gel formula, is a neccesity to provide a smoother service for concealer. besides it gives the undereye a hydrated, smooth look.

@Shanus have a question re concealer for mature eyes. I'm 66 so have lines, wrinkles, puffiness, bluish coloring, and whenever I try and use a concealer and I've tried quite a few, it just seems to look worse. I bring my face primer to my eye area, color corrector, and then concealer. If I use a powder to set the concealer then I'm a mess, that just makes things worse. Seems to settle in the fine lines and after a while the bluish color shows through. Just want my eye area to not look so tired as it does when I don't wear a concealer. I've watched a few videos on conealer for older women on youtube and have gotten appication tips but still having issues.

What are your suggestions for concealer for mature eyes? Thanks for your help!

@Shanus I have to admit I am sorry I never went into a career in makeup. I ended up a legal assistant/secretary, a faar cry from makeup. It's nice that you have your own business I do have one question for you. Why does foundation or titned moisturizer oxidize on mhy skin. Is there an ingredient that is doing this? I use to wear Laura Mercier and when the co. was sold the formula was changed and now the tinted moisturizer oxidizes.
