^^ I know, it's hilarious that we have all noticed the same things. Everytime I see Oprah, I just see bags, and I think her eye makeup is to blame. But I can't believe someone called those "Lambchop lashes" and then "broom bristles" LMAO

Whatever makeup artist applied her lashes needs to be slapped. They look very uneven to me. The lash on the right (her left) looks like it's going past her eye.

It is probably easier to stick with the black / darkest colours because bright studio lights + dark black skin tends to 'eat' or wash out most of the neutral / lighter colours.
I too abhor the dense false eyelashes with a vengeance but I suppose they add drama / emphasis to her eyes which is what they want when she is on camera. Maybe she looks super naked (bare eyed) without them...?
Personally I feel Oprah has Deep / Cool colouring so Golds / Russets / Bronzes / (Warm) Browns are going to look muddy on her rather than natural. I would try Deep Purples, Greys, Deep Blues, Silvers, Pewters, Charcoals and Deep Greens with a slight shimmer to add texture but only on the eye lids and under the eye, the brow bone would be highlighted (white, champagne) but remain matte. I definitely think her black eyeshadow would be less blah if a little shimmer was introduced to the mix. I don't mean disco sparkles, I mean a subtle almost metallic shimmer at strategic points. All that matte black is not good...
Berry / Plum / Purple lips colours would look yummy also.
I fantasise / imagine (with western societies current obsession with GGG golden toned gals) that her make up artist tries all his colours for golden gals on her Deep / Cool colouring and finds that nothing looks good / quite right and then throws a fit before pulling out the MAC Carbon eyeshadow again...

I love Oprah's makeup when it comes to her complexion/skin and her lips - her lips always look so glossy and elegant. Yes, her eyes are nothing to write home about. But I still like Oprah and imo, in general, her shows are beneficial to the betterment of society. I love checking out her jewlry btw, they are always so stunning - and being that it's Oprah, it's all real
