Peacock Eyeshadow Over 50

 By Trina Morgan, Fashion, Beauty, and Lifestyle Blogger

Hey y'all! As you already know, I'm introverted, a bit shy and reserved, but sometimes I can be a bit on the extroverted side when in the mood. As you also know, I'm a mature woman with a young mind that likes to be bold and daring with fashion and makeup; that is just my personality, and I do love being myself. I'm 51, and my mother always wants me to tone down my makeup and fashion sense because she feels I'm an older woman and I should carry myself as such, and also as a Christian woman. But I feel what's wrong with expressing myself in fashion and makeup, especially fashion, if I'm not exposing body parts lol! This is a new age, and us Gen Xers is doing the darn thing! Whoever made the rule of just staying old because of our age needs to just hush lol!

Peacock colors is teal, blue, emerald green, and some gold, and I wanted to see if I could pull it off. I wanted to try this look because I'm just that type of artistic person who finds beautiful colors so pleasing to the eyes. I was in one of my daring moods, so I just went for it, no special occasion or nothing.

The Green is there on the lids, but I don't have a great camera, so I took it with my cellphone

What is Peacock Eyeshadow

Well, peacock colors is a cute name that copies the colors in a peacock's feathers. They're deep blue, turquoise, emerald green, deep purple, and beautiful gold. It looks so bold. Peacock colors, to me is like majestic art that makes me feel like I'm in a fantasy or something.

The Palettes I Used

I didn't have to buy anything new for my look. I pulled out two of my palettes I had in my laundry closet in a space just for my beauty products. I chose my Glamlite Kellogg's Frosted Flakes palette and the Zulu by Juvia's Place. I purchased the Kellogg's Palette from Glamlite, but they no longer carry it. I went in search to see if they still had it, but other sites like Mercari, a marketplace where people sell them new or used. Juvia's Place also doesn't have this palette anymore, but Mercari has it for sale. Anyway, I felt like a Goddess with these beautiful colors on my lids. They feel light and not heavy.

Which Shades Go Where

From the Glamlite Kellogg's palette, I used Breakfast Time, a beautiful and shimmery royal blue, for my lid and outer corner. Yumminess, the golden shimmer one, goes in the center of my lid for a beautiful glow. Now, from the Zulu palette, I took deep emerald green for the center and brown for the crease color. The shades that surprised me the most from the Kellogg's palette, when I swatched them, were the golden and the royal blue! So shimmery and pretty.

How I did The Steps

I used my Milani primer, and it's a good eye primer that goes on smoothly and keeps my eyeshadows from creasing on my mature eyes. I then swept the soft brown color with my fluffy brush to give some depth from my Zulu palette. Then next, I pressed in Breakfast in the royal blue onto my lid and outer corner and blended from my Kellogg's palette using a flat brush. I added emerald green in the middle and blended it into the blue. Then I used my finger to pat in the gold color in the corner and center for a bright pop. On my lower waterlines, I lined them with black eyeliner, and I used a tiny liner brush to pat in the emerald green and royal blue.

The finished look looked cute and colorful, and I would definitely wear it out because I'm bold like that. I know I would get good compliments from family, friends, and even strangers. The only thing I disliked is the gold falling onto my face, and I had to fix that. Overall, I had fun with my face.
