Re: Is Glamour Only For The Young?
Just for the young? Not at all. This is my friends' mom. The photo was taken when she was 91.What's she doing right?
Sunglasses that are classic but in style (alluring with her hair, don't you think?).
Chic hair style. It's a little wind blown here, but you get the idea
Upturned collar (sometime turtlenecks). Hides turkey neck and jowls but frames the face. Few prints, tailored pieces. Lots of crisp, usually cotton, blouses.
Wears bright colors (red, coral, cobalt) in solids, but stays away from prints unless they are on accessories like scarves. Avoids black that highlights wrinkles.
A little bit of a suntan
Earrings that add light to the face
Lip color..but most especially gloss; it makes lips look plumper
Light foundation.
Approachable and smiling, smiling, smiling....

Re: Is Glamour Only For The Young?
I haven't worn makeup since I was 41. I am now in my upper 60s. I'm a what you see is what you get kind of person. If others don't like what I look like they don't have to look at me. I have not let myself go. I keep my weight in check, I do yoga and I walk. My hair is long. I have feathered bangs and I usually wear my hair with one braid to the side of my face. My hair is medium brown and is threaded with white shiny hair. I don't like short hair on myself. It makes me feel like a boy. I like being a girl. There's nothing wrong with looking one's age. That's called self-acceptance. I like me. To me that's what's important. If you like yourself with makeup and your hair colored, then that is what's right for you.

It’s refreshing reading how you enjoy walking , doing yoga and have long hair that you usually wear in a braid on the side.
It’s nice reading about other women who enjoy being a women.
It’s nice reading about others who like themselves and enjoy their own company. Accepting and liking yourself is extremely important. After all, if you don’t like yourself, how can you Expect anyone else to?
What a great attitude you have.
By the way, I walk , do yoga and have long hair that’s usually braided.

Some would disagree with me and say, wearing make up is a vanity thing and only for the young or, if you are trying to attract a man.
I disagree, l feel if you look good with a bit of make up on and your hair is nice, then there’s nothing wrong with that and it’s good for your self esteem.
It is different strokes for different folks...What are your views?
