I wear a smokey eye for deep eyes.  It's different for every shape.  I use this pallette.  Revlon Siren.  The perfect taupe.  So many people ask me what I use.  I use the lower L and upper R.

I have this great compact, too. It is the only Revlon I own. I am always buying new shadows and they make the top drawer and others like this one get put aside. Today, I am going to make a point to choose Siren to wear.  Glad you reminded me. 😀

@Lally,It just works, doesn't it?  The perfect neutral.  Since I wear so much color, colorful eye makeup would be "too much".

Re: Smokey eye on mature eyes?

I think a smokey eye on my eyelids doesn't look good because it makes my eyes look like they are receeding into my face. It also doesn't look good on me as it emphasizes crepey eyelid skin.

Try googling model Maye Musk (she's the mom of Elon). Maye is one of the current Covergirl models. She's gorgeous and rocks a head of silver hair.

From Pinterest, here is a photo of her with a smokey eye:

Re: Smokey eye on mature eyes?

These are all smokey eyes according to Google.  I'd say there's a vast difference between who could wear the first versus who could wear the other three.  (Some of the eyebrows seem overdone unless you're in fashion, perhaps.)Image result for smokey eyeImage result for smokey eyeImage result for smokey eyeImage result for smokey eye

Yep, it was a happy surprise for me. Someone had posted on this board about this shadow. I loved the cool toned shades so much that I bought it fully expecting to be disappointed in the quality. It isnt the best, but it works pretty well with a primer. Stays true all day. And, the price is super low. Smart you grabbing extras.

Re: Smokey eye on mature eyes?

I always smooth my eye makeup to provide a smokey look. I never wear any tight lined anything. Too harsh!

@TY  Am loving the hair and face makeup. Are you saying yay or nay to her smokey eye?

Re: Smokey eye on mature eyes?

No not really --altho I do smoke out the eyeliner on the bottom and top just a little ---but not dramatically and never use anything but neutral shadows. I'm 63.  Not much into make up anymore as I am home now.
