false eyelashes.

You may not live in a particularly wealthy area but, trust me, they will be queuing out the door. It seems to be a booming business

Our doctors receptionist has what could have been two long haired caterpillars over her eyes! Seriously who is she going to meet at the GP surgery?

WEAR! Not water!

Damn autocorrect!

Someone I know (of a similar age to me) had some very subtle "lash inserts", which seemed to mean that for everyday she didn't have to water mascara.

They actually looked pretty good, and not too obvious.

I wore them in my teens and painted lashes under my eyes, you can get away with a lot when you are young. Less is more as you age, remember Barbara Cartland, not a good look

Artificial looks have been taken to a whole new level, the more fillers, plumped up lips, hair extensions, false nails, spray tans some women or men for that matter have, the worse and older they look imo.

and don't start me on hair extensions or those nails

Sad.

I know several women who wear them- as well as Sharon in East Enders- always late 40s- and they look heavy and ridiculously false and heavy. Perhaps shorter, more natural looking ones might be OK - but most of the time, it makes women look like drag queens. Sad.
