I work at home and put on large sunglasses and a hat if I'm going anywhere but the barn, where my horses don't care what Iook like as long as I have carrots. When going out I really like the Maybelline Age-Rewind makeup. Really lightweight and good coverage. A brush of blush, some lipstick and I'm usually good to go. And baby oil on a cotton ball will easily remove waterproof mascara. I got MORE for a while. Eh... I still enjoy fashion mags like ELLE.

They are frilly nightgowns with matching sheer robes. Very feminine and often, very sexy. Nobody wears them any longer. You can always try Google images.

Makeup and beauty products are tough to buy with confidence unless you've tried them first. Department stores give samples. Most pharmacies allow you to bring back the product for a full refund. I should take more chances with those guarantees.<br /><br />I still wear false eyelashes for evenings out. I buy the thinnest lashes and trim the corners so they aren't too long on my lid. One nice look is a thicker, feathery half lash glued between the highest point of the lash line and the outer edge. It opens up your eyes alot.

I think as long as you're looking younger than dirt, you are beating the odds. Also, the new internet technology lets you look at young as you like. I looked more than 20 years younger by just posting a picture. I hope you find yourself in your mirror. There are days I don't know who the hell is looking back me.lislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929216211968531577.post-84102104979254393982012-08-18T11:22:21.625-04:002012-08-18T11:22:21.625-04:00I tried eyelid primer and all it did was emphasize...I tried eyelid primer and all it did was emphasize the sponginess of my lids these days. My lashes could use some curl but I have the same nasty memories you do; I've wondered about modest false lashes for big events (not that I have big events any more). I used to love doing makeup; it was kind of a creative outlet. These days a little eyeliner and lipstick (neutrals of course) and I'm outta here.
