False eyelashes!

I've got hardly any eyelashes now. They were never very good, so I used to wear false ones. I think I ripped out what little eyelashes I had when taking off the false ones. Oh well, I'm not goung to start again, my wrinkly eyelids can't cope. I suppose that's the least of my problems.

I’m going to be unpopular, but I dislike seeing older ladies with coloured acrylic nails. Well, I assume they are acrylic or gel or similar, because I’m not into anything like that. When I say ‘coloured’ I mean a lurid blue or green.

To me, they are ageing and I think they look what my mum would have described as ‘common’.

(I am aware that last ‘c’ word is frowned upon nowadays).

There should be some rules about long painted finger nails in certain settings, especially anywhere involving prepping or serving food or doing any form of personal care, including nursery workers etc. Not only are they ugly but they’re also unhygienic and dangerous even when gloves are worn.

I can’t stand those really long claw like nails, you do wonder how people do any work or even manage to get washed and dressed in a morning with those things on!

I agree about the pouting lips Juliet27 ridiculous. The other day, when he saw an overinflated lipped girl on tv, my OH said "you could stick her on a window and she'd stay there"

But what's with the 'booty' implants?? who in her right mind wants to inflate her backside? I do my best to cover my generous bottom up

Not to mention the overplumped pouting lips!

Ah yes !

GrannyGravy- there is something to be said for this- sure.
But the point is, it is not attractive- but worse, it puts huge pressure on other young women to do so- at huge cost, and sometimes, even danger (lips and other enhancements). Wearing those nails constantly is a health risk- and not sure about effect on eyes long term to wearing magnetic paint to hold eyelashes in place, for instance.

I think there’s has always been pressure on females, normally from other females.

Back in the day arsenic was used as skin cream.

We all make choices whether or not to conform with the current trends

Having worn some clothes and makeup over the years that the elder generation probably didn’t approve of, I tend to not pass judgement on what others like to wear whether it be clothes, nails or makeup trends.

Their bodies, their choices.

😂👏👏👏

Yes, and the longer they are the more ridiculous they look.

I agree, ghastly.

The slug like eyebrows don't help either.

the combo is awful + the hugely long false nails - yyyiiikkkeeessss

I agree they are over the top. When I used to wear Eyelure I always trimmed them first. I recall a boyfriend saying you don't need those. So, I peeled them off and he agreed they did make a difference!

You didn’t wear them in the 60s then.
