I could get away with black eyeliner.

Not now. At 60, I still have mostly gray free hair (less than 20% gray). Light skin and blue/green/gray eyes. And fewer facial wrinkles than other women my age.

Still, though...I've had to change my eyeliner color to a medium brown. I use a shadow with a fine pointed brush. If I line the bottom, it's with a lighter brown.

Brown/black mascara on top lashes, sometimes on bottom as well, and sometimes not.
