I too am 39 but tbh I always forget how old I am. I wear whatever mu I like. I've always gone for edgey looks so if I started adopting the natural look now people would wonder what was wrong with me not to mention that I wouldn't feel true to myself. I have noticed that black eyeliner under the eye is particularly aging so I go for a plum or brown shade now. Also some older women make the mistake of wearing a matt foundation which draws attention to lines and imperfections. Easy on the powder too. I think glitter and pearl eyeshadows look fine for evening as long as you don't have deep lines. I think women of our generation look much younger for longer, than did our mother's generation, so we don't have to adopt the same rules that they did.
