As a person ages, the eyelids get particularly wrinkled and crepey because the skin is already so thin. This makes it really difficult to wear eyeshadow, as it tends to settle into the creases. Opting for a cream formula set with a powder is best, which will give a smoother texture and won't accentuate fine lines. Also, avoid shimmery and sparkly shadows and opt for matte colors to avoid emphasizing wrinkles, but still get pigment.
