I wear one with just the slightest shine. My eyes are deep set, no use to darken the crease because it doesn't show unless my eyes are closed.
With this shadow, I appear to have more prominent eyes. Young 20's that have come in the store have asked what I was wearing and told me I did a "beautiful job"!
When I go to walmart I pick up most of them so I don't have to run back!

I've never seen "glimmer" shadows, and I never liked glitter in eyeshadow. But if you essentially mean not matte, I'm all in lol!
I always use shadows with a "satin" finish, but if I liked glimmer, you'd better believe I'd wear it! I don't like the rules, written by others, that women of a certain age have to wear matte, and forego color (boring).
Not everyone has crepey lids or hooded eyes, and even younger women have hooded eyes, anyway.
Wear what makes you happy.

Hey you sound like someone who's sharing my mindset -- 'out of the box' so to speak. I like reading your posts and I think you like mine as well -- hard to find like-minded women anywhere these days! Keep 'em coming, I'm here maybe 1X a week to read what interests me and to put in my 25 cents worth. (yours, Nell....) or maybe Ray-Ray?? In-a-wind...."evil-doers" too.

My eyes are not crepey, but they've been hooded since I was born! My dad had what they called "bedroom eyes." On him they looked great; on me not so much.
Laura Geller says there is a difference between sparkle and SHEEN. The sheen is what I go for!

Yes I wear shimmer/glimmer shadows. I like a variety and didn't stop when I turned 50.

The only time I wore a glimmer shimmer eye shadow was on Halloween.

I don't use glimmers, sparkles or metallic shadows. I use a matte lid shade and with my finger add a dot of sheen color in a vanilla type shade just in center of lid. Any crease shades are matte so that area appears to recede.
***High shine accents the lids, drawing attention to the lid and away from the eye itself.

@ECBG Good morning. With hooded lids, you can "fake" the crease w/o using a dark shadow which not only recedes that further, but as you said, can't be seen. Use a medium shade in your 4 pan palette and go slightly (like 1/4" or less) above the crease applied with eyes open looking straight ahead in the mirror. Adjust that width until you see a slightly "created crease" & blend well. Eyes will appear larger. Hope you and Mr. ECBG had a good Father's Day.
