Makeup can age the skin

What a fab phrase … it just has such a snazzy ring to it.

Gawd it has brought on one of my hot flushes:mrgreen:

Well she could. With a different style of frame in a bold blue or purple would really suite her. They actually look good on people with plain features.
Don’t you ladies think?

Well they worked for Elton John and Dame Edna Everage.

Size 8 in Canada is size 6 uk. I am size 6 in Canada, size 4 here.

You just wanted to make me sound like Big Foot didn’t you :lol:

I never trust those things … even with some clever face contouring with foundation she’s still managed to get a pixie heart shaped face.

That is so nice of you to say, cause I would be wanting to give you a big hug if we met in person…you are such a nice person to know Bratti. :049:

I will be visiting Bath & Beyond and see what they have. I am not in good shape right now, but maybe in a month or so.

I just googled them and they are a bit pricey. I think if I was going to spend that much, I would go with the electrolysis like you did…

As a person get’s to be my age, our skin seems so thin and loose, almost makes me afraid she will rip it when she does the waxing. And I hate the threading. I am a crybaby when something hurts and the threading hurts worse than the waxing for me, but maybe I would get used to it, if I tried…
I’ll put that on the back burner for now…

Ok, Miss Fussy.:lol:

The first picture, the one with the redheads, she looked older with make up on. I think she looked younger and fresher in the pic on the left IMO.

:smiley: I am sure your feet are far more aesthetically pleasing than mine! I have half a “sympathy bunion” on my left foot, a beleaguered appendage which has also had numerous sporting and “lifestyle” injuries, achiles, sprains, high heel twists in nightclubs when much younger. Apparently an erogenous zone, but IMO all ugh.

I agree but they do both look more polished with make up. The blonde lady is not smiling with teeth in the non made up pic. She has fabulous teeth which make a big difference too. Make up does make a difference. Foundation in particular if you get it right. I used to just wear powder with a tinted moisturiser and only bothered with foundation in the last year, but it can really give you a nice glow.

But we are very hung up on make up. I knew someone working in a posh dept store. They were forced to wear heavy foundation and make up as part of their job. She was battling with her employers as the foundation made her skin come up in a rash. But if you go to these stores or if you are on a plane, the stewardesses and shop assistants do look fabulous with the make up, but they are forced to wear it.

Just as a matter of interest, how often do you ladies have a rummage through your make-up bags and replace things?

Here is a guideline I found:

  • Foundations, concealers, and primers can be good for about two years. Cream eyeshadows and cheek products can be good for about one year.

Eyeliners and shadows in pencil form can last about three years.

Liquid eyeliner has the same expiration as mascara — six months.*

True Annie, when I was either on stage or making films, we had to wear make-up. I have worn some awful stuff!!! But, I reiterate, so long as it is removed, I see no problem.

Omg I did not know this.
Oh goodie.I have tiny cutie feet too then:mrgreen:

About once every 6 or 8 years maybe

yay me too. PS I have big UK size 6 feet:mrgreen:

I’m not sure if you guys get the show criminal minds but the girl who plays Penelope is a total nerd who rocks her look.
These types of glasses. I really like them.

Gosh. I’d never put old mascara on my eyes, nor slap old stuff on my skin either.
