@Shanus.  Blushes seem to be available in either pink or coral shades.  How do you determine which to use?

@Kachina624   Usually pink tones are for cooler toned or fair skin while the coral/peach tones are better for warmer or olive skin tones. Neutral complexions can wear either. Of course, there are always exceptions.

@sligo   Hi. Thanks for the compliments. Mabelline makes a good concealer: Instant Age Rewind Multiuse concealer. It's good under the eyes, but also can be used on dark areas on face...around the nose, age spots, etc. 

Everyone's tired of me suggesting to learn to tightline on the aging eye. I've been doing it for years. You need to find a soft, water resistant pencil in a dark brown, charcoal or I prefer dark navy (makes the whites look bright) and dot it between lashes to define the eyes and make lashes look fuller. If not squeamish, lining the upper waterline gives definition and covers that fleshy area under the lashes. 

For a hooded lid, keep the shadow (if you use one) light and bright...even a bit of shimmer...not sparkle. Concealer on the lid is a good choice if you set it with a light dusting of powder. You may also want to try using a shade in a very light taupey/pink close to your skin tone to create a crease and extend above. it. Look straight in the mirror while doing this to be sure you see this shade above where the crease should be. It adds depth without darkening the eye area.

Hope this helps. Practice techniques at night before you remove makeup...not when headed out the door or in a hurry.

@SportyShorty07   Yes, I've used the same one for many years....L'Oreal Voluminous mascara (not the waterproof).

@Shanus 

We had those big loud thunder storms last night at 4 am.

Get our little Molly pottied and snuggle!  (Love to have a pic of Molly btw.).

Once I can get everything together, how do I clean tight lining in the evening please without stinging and oil residue please.

Many thanks!

The NYX serum concealer seems to get good reviews for mature skin.  It's hard to find a drugstore brand, i.e., less expensive, that works for mature skin.  There are multiple choices on the higher end of the scale.

@ECBG   I use the lancome Bifacil remover before my oil cleanser. Micellar water on a warm water cotton pad also works.
