One Down, Two to Go: Jean’s Eye Shadow Pick

Back in August (1, 3, and 31) and September (14, 16, 18 and 20), I received some antiaging makeup tips and reviews from Becky, one of our regular readers. They were so good, I published them all and tried out some of Becky’s picks myself.



We are now both confirmed users of Peter Thomas Roth UnWrinkle, Estee Lauder Resilience Lift Extreme foundation and Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Lip Rejuvenating cream.



Becky closed her last letter with, “In addition to a nice lipstick, I'm also looking for an eye shadow that doesn't settle in the cracks and that doesn't shine; and a natural looking blush.” I’ve been looking ever since and think I have finally found the perfect eye shadow for Age Warriors.



Maybelline Shadow Stylist is in loose powder form and comes in a little bottle with built-in sponge applicator. The loose powder goes on so easily you don’t have to rub and scrub the delicate eyelid skin. It comes in a nice range of colors including muted shades that are best for women “of a certain age”.



I chose Elegant Pearl and Vintage Champagne, which I would describe as a pale yellow and a pale dusky rose respectively. Shadow Stylist does have a bit of shimmer but just enough to make your eyes sparkle. The powder does not settle in the cracks. It stays just where you applied it all day long. How did they do that?



Becky, I’m still looking for the perfect antiaging lipstick and blush. Have you had any luck yet?
