I used to wear full make up every day, but when mum was in hospital for the last time I did so much crying that all my make up was gone before lunchtime.
I started wearing a bit less after that, and since I retired I only wear it if I'm going out.
I only ever used enough to look like the 'better' version of myself, I certainly didn't put it on with a trowel!
When DS and DDiL were getting married, bride's mother was having her make up professionally done, so I went along to have a 'test run'. The make up artist made me look like a street walker, honestly, I've never looked tarty in my life before, but she managed it!
So, on the day itself, I did my own make up, I did have semi permanent lash extensions too, they were brilliant!
My grandmother died at the age of 96, and was 'putting her slap on' until three days before she passed!
