I’m a makeup artist – the basic eyeshadow mistakes that make you look older and highlight wrinkles
EYESHADOW can complete transform your look.
But it turns out there are a few major mistakes that can make you look years old and draw even more attention to fine lines and wrinkles.
Makeup artist Pauline Briscoe told Express.co.uk that picking the right colours is vital when it comes to doing your eyeshadow.
No matter your age, neutral shades will always look chic and timeless, so if you’re ever in doubt stick to black, white, brown and grey.
Although you might want to avoid wearing too much black as you age, since this can make your eyes appear smaller.
Instead, Pauline suggests warm and soft pastel shades.

The pallet has 40 different shades ranging from warm neutrals and soft pinks, to deep oranges and blues.
