Right on! As a girl in high school, I totally agree with you. It is almost unreal the things we can learn about our hair, the different hairstyles, especially once we start using all natural hair products.

lip gloss makes lips look fuller to some extent..lip plumper offers a extra full impact that is more desirable..

Everyone sounds so brave!! When I read Faces I felt intimations of fear that I couldn’t quite laugh off. I feel them often in the morning when I greet my face in the mirror. Looking my “certain” age is fine with most of me, but my feet are still stuck in cultural quicksand. Drat!

I’m with Joan. And, I can’t wear mascara now that I wear glasses most of the time because my eyelashes are too long. I haven’t colored my hair and noted some years ago that with or without makeup I looked pretty much the same so I stopped using it (except my trusty Revlon lipstick and a bit of eyebrow enhancer). I’m 67 and I trust that I’m seen not for my looks but for my enthusiasms! Having said all that, a few days ago, a week before my 50th high school reunion I had a very vivid dream - I was the ONLY person in the room who had aged! Hmmm, seems there are some ‘looks’ concerns lurking somewhere!

In the interest of full disclosure: I agree Jacquelyn. I’m not giving up my mascara just yet, except during allergy season. But I like the trend and think we’ll all benefit.

And to Joan: I’m staying with my gray…. okay, I do add a few cheating streaks.

Great article, Susan. Not quite ready to give up my mascara yet. Mainly, because things haven’t really changed yet. Glad to see they are on their way.

I love this post, Susan! I feel the same way. For years I colored my hair because I knew my grey would make me look older. Then last October, I said to myself, “I AM older! So what’s the big deal?” Now I really like my grey, and don’t mind my age spots or wrinkles either. My youthful mind still doesn’t know what I’m supposed to feel like or think like at 65, but my face has caught up. (I haven’t updated my website & blog photos yet — that’s coming.)
