Wearing Make Up. Age 63.

I think you stop bothering with a lot of things as you get older. And it's not good. I think you should keep using your make-up, but perhaps not the full kit. (Foundation cream is protective)

I have never worn a lot of makeup, nowadays I do use an eyebrow pencil (my eyebrows are non-existent without) and a very light touch of eye pencil under the eye, that's it most days but if I go out then I add mascara and a little lipstick.. but as you say kassi the World didn't stop on days I just didn't bother..

Agree that ' no beggar notices me anyway really' . I have to go into hospital on a regular basis .... 3 - 4 times a year, and make up is forbidden when having a general anaesthetic...... I always take my 'kit' with me, so that when I come round, I can 'do my face'..... But now realising that no one apart from me gives a stuff! It just makes me feel better and more confident.

Just how I think and do Teetime, our posts crossed.

I'm absolutely the opposite! Rarely wear any makeup and probably should.
I tend to wear it only if going out and since being made redundant I haven't worn it more than a few times.
I did wear it when I worked but only foundation, eye shadow and lipstick- have got tons of unused makeup in drawer .
Really should make more effort.....

Mmm I see. I too usually only leave the house with make up on but like you wear what I hope is a more subtle maquillage than when I was younger. Eye liner has gone completely its very harsh and ageing. Luckily I have good skin, no spots or blemishes but feel ungroomed without my face. I do not wear much at all if any when at home just a bucket of moisturiser to give my skin a rest. I think I look rather pale and tired without it but actually no beggar notices me anyway really.
