I'm not blowing my own trumpet here but...

Absolutely never! You must be positively model like, well done!

Sadly, no, but well done kitty

Never, because I don’t like foundation.

Sadly no, I don't wear make up !

kittylester, and now we all want to know what foundation and blusher you use!

No but how lovely kitty. I did go to a wedding last month and someone I don't see regularly said to me 'Can I ask you a question?'. I said 'Erm..ok' wondering what on earth was coming. He said 'How come every time I see you you look younger?' Quite a boost for a 74 year old with so many spare parts - false hair, teeth, and contact lenses!

If someone said that to me I would ask if they are due a cataract operation. Well done Kitty. Do you have a secret you can share?

I don't use much foundation and I have been bemoaning the wrinkles that are arriving daily. I think she is my new best friend!!

I think kittylester was meaning 'has anything similar' happened to us, rather than the make-up or not question..

lucky you kitty.

I always line-dried and ironed all my washing. It's a long time ago now but I remember my youngest telling me that a girl had come up to him and nuzzled her face in his tee shirt "because his clothes always smelt so lovely!" I still enjoy the memory of the lovely compliment.

No. But well done for looking ‘fabulous’.

I did, lemsip. I phrased it badly!! Thank you.

Not since about 1970. And probably not even then.

Oo-er! I wish!
I hope you told her it was all natural and you don’t wear make-up?
(So, which foundation and blusher DO you use?)

Quite a boost for a 74 year old with so many spare parts - false hair, teeth, and contact lenses
Quite.
More new parts than old? 🤣🤣!

We are all agog now and really, really want to know just what do you use?

As lemsip said, really I was asking if anyone has had any unexpected, and lovely, compliments - about anything.

I use a BB Cream which I was told about here, Colour Me Beautiful foundation, suggested by the woman who did my colours, and a Clinique blusher which I had got right all by myself.

That was a lovely compliment Jacky.

It’s lovely isn’t it kitty.
Yes, my new gardener lady and I were chatting about ageing, she thought I was in my 50’s, I’m too honest and said ‘add on ten years’
Incidentally, I never wear any make up

Well done kittylester Enjoy the moment and again every time you use it.
I’ve had compliments and requests for my favourite lipstick colour and source, but the most frequent ones are, “I love your necklaces. Where did you get it?”

Yes Foxy. I'm a bionic woman!

Thinking about this I can't describe any of my friends as glamorous, most of us are just getting by (as my mum put it, "I'll pass, with a push from a strong man, behind me".
If my friends asked me anything it would probably be either "Those shoes look comfortable, where did you get them?" or "Where, around here, does the best scones?"
Which says a lot about me (and them)

I don't use much either - just to cover the worst bits!!!

My friend is slim, blonde and effortlessly elegant. I shouldn't really hang around in such company!!

I have a friend like that kitty. 72, slim, beautiful hair etc. She knows how to wear a scarf if you know what I mean.

I was once asked by a (female, happily married) work colleague which bra I wore as she would like to buy one!
