How on earth do I persuade my mother that less is more and NOT to use the garish bright red lippy that she wears. It is also put on crooked because she has AMD and will not accept or admit that she cannot see very well. I have bought her lighter lipsticks (not pale) and she has not used them. It is a shame, she dresses well but does not notice the stains on her clothes, maybe where she has spilt a drop of tea etc. She is outgoing and walks to the town every day to meet friends for coffee and a moan chat. But the lipstick looks terrible. My sister will be more direct than me at Christmas when mother goes to stay. She said that she will say how much younger a lighter lipstick looks and that bright red is ageing. Mum is very very concious about her age. Her name seems to be "I am C..... I'm 87 you know" that is her middle name now. Bless her cotton socks - although she would never be seen wearing them.
