Mature skin needs more, and that includes in our makeup. If you’ve been struggling with eye shadows that leave heavy creases and just won’t blend, this is for you! You don’t have to give up a powder formula to achieve a diffuse wash of color that actually bends. Try these powder eye shadows for mature eyes!

What Makes a Great Powder Shadow

When it comes to powder eye shadow, women over 40 care about one major feature: blendability. As our eyelids age, the skin thins out, and that change in texture can make previously easy-to-use eye shadows harder to blend out. The result is patchy-looking pigment on irritated, overworked skin. For mature eyes, you’re looking for a formula that prioritizes an even distribution of pigment and an easy blend—bonus points if it doesn’t cake into fine lines!
