From a dinner date to a girls' night out, we believe that there is no wrong place to wear a beautiful smoky eye. With an endless variety of colors to choose from, you can customize the look to fit wherever your night takes you. Building the perfect smoky eye isn't any more difficult to achieve on mature skin than it is on any other type of skin. It's just the method that differs slightly.

Before you begin picking out colors, your first step should be to apply eyeshadow primer to your lids so your shadow will stick better. After that, it's time to locate your eye crease. Your crease is the little fold of skin that rests just above your eyeball and below your browbone. As makeup artist Todd Harris pointed out in an interview with The Zoe Report, the eye crease can be trickier to find on mature skin. He offered this useful tip if you're having trouble locating it: "Look straight in the mirror and don't raise your eyebrows. Remember your resting face is what people see."

From there, the makeup expert suggests swiping a few layers of matte shadow onto your crease, making sure the shade you use is a bit darker than your skin tone. For a palette with a nice range of natural shades, we recommend the Urban Decay Naked2 Basics Eyeshadow Palette ($33).
