Wink, Wink: Eyes Made Easy

Wink, wink, I actually never find the eyes easy.

The older I get, the harder it is to make my eyes up.

Do you have that problem?

It is a combination of elements really. Obviously, the eyelids are not as supple as they once were and nor is my eyesight which makes the application of eyeshadow, liner and the rest somewhat tricky. Thank goodness mascara doesn’t require too much management. I do like eyeliner and when applied correctly it does make a great deal of difference. Whether you like it subtle or in a full-on cat’s eye, the more artful the job, the better we look.

Recently I was recommended an all in one pencil – eyeshadow, eyeliner and pencil together. I picked the khaki and steel shades up and yes, they are really good.

It was super easy to apply and looked good – plus the colours are the ones I like and that work with a mature skin. The brighter ones would be gorgeous for my girls but for now, I will stay with the more classic shades. The khaki, if you haven’t tried, is really a fabulous shade and most flattering.

Add a couple of coats of mascara and that’s it.

I have been using these new pencils for a few weeks now and while they are a little more I think the ease of use and the longevity of colour will well make up for it.

Colouring between the lines was never easier ;) xv
