wearing make-up

Ok. If I wasn't on my desktop I might be thinking of putting up that being sick emoji now.

Lovely, janea!

My hair doesn't behave either Gonegirl
My eyes look worse with eye makeup too; some people can wear it but I can't.

The problem is that a lot of women wear the same makeup and hairstyle that suited them about forty years ago. They don't seem to realise that they look like scary clowns!

Yes but those of you who say that make up looks obvious and clown like are only noticing those wearing badly applied or inappropriate stuff. Most of us settle for a bit of enhancement rather than garish, a bit of tinted moisturiser or foundation, shaped neat eyebrows and some mascara to open the eyes. Not noticeable but just a little bit of colour

Minimal make up still looks like make up.

People who use it a lot see it less

In your opinion notanan

My friend admits to wearing too much - as she can't see very well without her glasses!

It doesn't really matter too much, unless anyone is forcing somebody else to be either caked in make up, or not allowing them to wear it.

Our faces are our own to do what we want with.

There is no right or wrong, just different preferences.

Well gee, isnt this whole thread people's opinions?
Kinda the point of a chat forum no?

well I am happy with my understated make up notanan and I defy you to notice it, but hey ho, I don't like to see women of my age with a scrubbed face, no eyebrows and just generally grey looking, but we all have different ideas don't we!

Great! No one is going to stop you???

What's the point in being rude?

What's the point in being so defensive?

Bully is the word that springs to mind. Not nice.

What a difference a smile makes. Lovely Janeainsworth

GillT57 I agree. That's how I use it -makes me feel better and more confident.

trying to think back forty years

No, I didn't have much time for makeup.

Alexa, I discovered a product called Bring Back Brow shape sold by Look Fabulous Forever. You can google it, they do lots of products for mature women and have "how to" videos too. The eyebrow product worked wonders on my sparse, overplucked eyebrows. I'd really recommend it.

@barbinabox have you tried lashtopia

I love make up, it’s my weakness.
I have watched some excellent YouTube tutorials so I can learn new techniques.
I’m brand loyal to Bare Minerals and use the odd Charlotte Tilbury product.
I marvel at how my face can be transformed from looking rather grim to quite acceptable in a few strokes of a kabuki brush?
