I think lack of defined eyes makes a woman look old. I think eyeliner is more important than mascara.

No, it makes you look like you're trying to be young. You're clearly not. I promise, everyone knows.

Why are you on the Beauty and Fashion forum?

It's funny, I think it depends on your eye shape and coloring. I know women who look much better with only mascara and some who look better with eyeliner and mascara

Why don't you stop wearing makeup?

I am a complete 'eye-liner freak'. I would never leave my house without the eye liner. I am not much fond of make-up but I always wear eyeliner. It accentuates my eyes and makes me look fresh. I prefer a black liner.

I am 42 and line the top lash line with a dark brown pencil (blonde with hazel eyes). I think it makes me look more awake and accentuates my eyes, which are nice. I don't feel "made up" at all, just polished and put together.

MAkeup does not have to make you look like you are super done up. A think eyeliner line is perfectly okay as an everyday look.

I'm south Asian and always wear a little eyeliner. I think if you don't make it all crazy cat eye lines and just do a quick sweep, it looks nice.

OP here. This is definitely the look and style I am going for. Wearing makeup at all on a regular basis is still pretty new to me. Trying to find the right 'natural me, just a little help to stay looking OK' look.

I always wear liner and was recently wondering when I should stop. It seems there comes a point when eyeliner looks bad when you're too and....

In my mid-40s. My daily makeup routine for the office is tinted moisturizer, blush, mascara, and lipstick. Should I be wearing eye liner as part of a basic day look? I have brown eyes and dark brown hair. If I need liner, I presume a dark brown?
