wearing make-up

SueDonim in answer to your question i try to remember to use sunscreen everyday but it does make my face feel quite 'clogged up' If i am just popping to the supermarket and no outside for long then no On days when i am working in the garden or walking to town and especially when i am bowling outside i definately use it.

Tigertooth I agree to a certain extent, re ageing for older people. Which is why I aim for enhancing, invisible makeup.

One of my students said to me, "You're wearing eyeliner." What had actually happened was that I was wearing MORE eyeliner than usual.

i cannot find any without SPF in the uk
Superdrug, Rimmel. Bothdo a range SPF free.

I am wearing less and less make-up - don't bother on a normal day and am perfectly happy with how I look without. I am 62 and let my hair go grey in the last year and have had more compliments on it than ever before in my life - but I am lucky I suppose as it is a lovely silver. I'd like to wear mascara more but even ones that are supposed to be hypo-allergenic or whatever its called affect my eyes now. So even for special occasions it's just a little foundation mousse, a touch of blusher, subtle eyeliner and neutral lipstick.

Moisturize twice a day. Foundation and a little bit of bluster. On eyes either silver or beige eyeshadow. Instead of eyeliner so use eyeshadow brush yo put dark grey or brown eyeshadow next to lashes....so much softer than eyeliner and just enough to emphasize shape. Then mascara. I am 68

Travelsafar I agree that facial sunscreens do feel heavy on the skin, at least all the ones I've tried. I have some sun damage caused by living in tropical countries so I need to be careful with my skin. I find the foundations with sun screen are better for me, although I now also wear a hat if it's very sunny.

That doesn't happen too often in Scotland, though!

I think aittle bit of makeup keeps your femininity. Time to go bare when you're no longer around Ha!!

I only wear make up for an evening out and even then it's a modest amount of foundation, shadow, blusher and lipstick.

I haven't worn makeup for about 15 years now. Reminds me of the old limerick. "As a beauty I'm not a great star, there are others more handsome by far, but my face I don't mind it, because I'm behind it, 'tis the folks in the front that I jar"!
If people don't like what they see, they can always look elsewhere

People who don't wear make up, do you still use a sun screen on your face?

Yes, why wouldnt I?
not on a work day though as I am in the office for most of the day. If Im going to be out and about (usually weekends) I have a pot with SPF that I'll wear

At the age of 74, I use a creamy foundation, a dab of block face powder around my eyes to hide the bags.
Then it’s a bit of pale blue eyeshadow, followed by a blue pencil liner on the inner eyes, then finished of with mascara.

I don’t bother with eyebrows as I don’t have any. A pencil would look too harsh.

I can’t be bothered applying all this unless I’m going out into town to meet with friends etc.

I do feel it’s becoming more of an effort though. I just feel too lazy sometimes. Didn’t even bother much when family came to stay this week.

travelsafar you might want to try 'My Lash' if you want longer thicker eyelashes. I've been using it for about a month now and it really works! Loving my new longer eyelashes!

I never ever step outside without my face on. It’s second nature and I don’t want to scare the locals

Haven't worn makeup since my middle 20's (I'm 69 now). Can't be bothered, too much messing about, and it's so-ooo expensive now.

Liz46, I have discovered Palladio Brow Obsessed

It's not black but it's great!

Well of course re suncream - always use a simple moisturiser with factor 15.

Never used it. I like the way i look.Even as a teenager I felt uncomfortable after putting it on.... like a clown in fact. Never felt the need after that first try! My mother despaired of me!

I put my makeup on before coming downstairs in the morning, always have done, even if I'm not going anywhere. I have it on for the gym, my water aerobics class - you name it - it's slapped on!

Liz I buy Swiss o par eyebrow/eyelash tint in brown online and do it myself. It’s easy to do, don’t leave it on too long though. Have found 90 seconds is optimum time. Needs doing about once a month. If you have straggly odd hairs, just pluck them.

I was in a make-up rut. So recently booked a session in well known Body S... Lady there spent ages trying different cosmetics, free with no obligation. Well worth my time. I spent roughly £30 on mascara,tinted moisuriser, and multi shaded blusher which doubled as eye
brow powder. Lovely new products which I would have never found. Have a treat ladies!

I cannot understand women who go swimming with a face full of makeup.
What’s the point of that. Who is going to notice or care.
Maybe apply it afterwards.

Moisturiser, foundation and a touch of blusher because I'm too pale naturally. I gave up eye make-up when I couldn't put it on either with or without my glasses. I find it difficult to keep lipstick on. I think I have tried just about every brand!

I cannot understand women who go swimming with a face full of makeup.

It mucks up the water sensors and pools that have auto chlorination end up over chlorinated!

I don’t normally unless going out as I found with the heat in work (hospital office) and tropical moments that any makeup wore off by mid morning! I do normally moisturise and like arsenal 8 hours lip tint. It’s nice to make an effort for going out and maybe once I retire I will get more use of all I have accumulated!

I’m a big fan of Look Fabulous Forever. Had my brows (waxed) and lashes tinted a while back, despite patch test it did irritate my eyelids. Do feel better with a face ‘on’ but don’t bother at home DH and his dogs don’t notice!
