Liquid eyeliner on older women

Citygirl1

I like liquid eyeliner as it stays put more than pencil but it is said that liquid can look harsh on older women. I am 49 but get told I dont look my age. Do any older ladies here use liquid?

I'm 43, I use liquid.

I use brown liner & mascara, as its softer.

I'm 48 I use liquid eyeliner, just a very thin line. I've got stacks of pencils but always end up with panda eyes after an hour of using them.

Hi thanks for your replies. Do you use liquid underneath your eyes too? Just out of interest what other make up do you use? I read about what older women should avoid like heavy foundation and powder but surely we can break the rules?

I use liquid but only on the top lids, I think it's too strong for underneath whatever age you are.

Top & bottom, but not the inner 1/3 of the eye on either.

I only use it under, I've never mastered the art of the top line.

I am in my 30's so hopefully not classed as old but don't use the same liquid liner on the top as the bottom. If I want to use liquid on the bottom I have a purply reddy brown that sounds hideous but really makes my eyes stand out without looking like obvious eyeliner.
