Ny biker- I can appreciate that you want to brighten your face to look more vibrant/alive as one ages.

Who doesn't want that? However I guess I just have my hair cut...shorter. It draws more attention to my eyes. I'm lucky to have naturally dark eyes.

I had problems wearing mascara (let alone eye shadow with the Asian eyelid fold which requires alot experimentation to fake a deep eyelid) and eyeliner: my eyes actually felt more tired with more makeup on them. I'm not kiddin'.

So I dropped out on using any eye makeup in my 20's and onward. I only used foundation, blusher and lipstick occasionally.

I think the last time I wore makeup was....at job interviews.
