do I have to ????

[Miss Tickle]

I'm glad you had a good night out Cheryl. I bet you looked just gaw-juss !!
(p.s you can't feel the the mineral foundation on your skin-I can't bear the thick cream stuff either lol !!)
The trouble with having no daughters is that there's no one to keep me on track fashion wise !!

January is going to be an extremely tight month financially , but come Feb I might seek out some of that mineral stuff & even some perfume .... ooo get me lol
My eldest has already appointed herself fashion guru for when I get slimmer lol

 

[mariew]

Marie , I almost feel a little jealous .
It does not occur to me to wear make up unless someone says , the same with perfume . As I can't wear jewelry or have my nails done for work , I forget to put them on to go out .
Saying that going out is a rarity lol

I am a window cleaner!!! I still wear make up and earrings though! I am now starting to wear blingy necklaces too, now my neck is a little slimmer.

I don't care how fat I got, I always wore make up. I am happy to go without during the day in the house, but if i go out I always wear it! I would feel like I hadn't even made the effore otherwise. I also love earrings, the danglier and sparklier the better. I have at least 100 pairs and I like to wear a different pair each day. I have always painted my toe nails but my finger nails are just plain ugly! They don't grow and they split and peel off. When I go on holiday I always get a set of Acrylics. I always wear perfume too.

same here! i dont socialise anymore but when i go to work or shopping i always wear my make up and perfume! xxx

It's a personal choice thing. I seldom wear make up unless I am going out or I look like death warmed up (but I do moisturise).

My daughter won't even leave the house without a full face of slap on.

Me? I'd sooner have an extra half-hour in bed or readinbg the news before going about my daily business

Heels. Again, personal choice. There was a time I'd wear nothing but. Nowadays, again, it's when I go out. I have a fallen arch on my left foot and the pain is OOWWWWCH!

All horses for courses.

I am the weird person who doesn't have pierced ears. So I don't tend to wear earrings unless I am going to a wedding, and I don't own any real gold ones cuz clip ons drop off at unscheduled moments.

I do have nice nails though...my manicurist Gemma comes every Thursday to do them, although she's soon going to learn to do shellac so I won't have to have them done every week once she's proficient. Admittedly I don't do a lot of heavy housework; I cook and peel potatoes and the like but the cleaning is done by faithful Lisa.

But makeup...ALWAYS. And my hair done nicely. However I don't wear foundation...just eyemakeup, blush and lippie. I have very good skin for my age and my beauticians all tell me that not wearing foundation is one of the reasons.

 

[Miss Tickle]

That's interesting about having good skin from not wearing foundation Ruthie. As one who's just started using it I'd like to know if they've explained it to you. I don't want to put stuff on my face that will make it worse! I'm terribly sensitive about it at the moment as despite not having a very fat face the wl has really shown up on my fizzog. I for the first time have wrinkle and jowels and a disgusting loose wobbly bit under my chin !

Miss Tickle: I am 63 yrs old. I have been having facials since I was 39, and starting to panic about crows feet and the like. My beautician then (unfortunately died suddenly of a stroke a few yrs ago) told me I had beautiful skin and foundation blocks the pores. I now go to a different beautician once a month and she says the same thing.

The only time I ever wear it is for a special wedding like one of my grandchildren; when I get made up in MAC or somewhere for the occasion. Otherwise my skin has a natural glow, accented by a cream blush (powder blush is drying). I have an intensive skin care regime; I spend a LOT of money on pots and potions and am a firm believer in Boots number 7 Protect and Perfect Intensive skin care range, or as it's known for the over 50s, "restore and renew". I never leave make up on overnight, and cream and moisturise night and morning. My main worry about losing weight is my face starting to look saggy, but besides my own skincare regime and my facials, I have every two weeks a facial known as micro current, which is like mini electric current passed over your face to tone up the muscles. A bit like slendertone for the face I guess. It's known as a non surgical facelift; I would never have any botox or any real facelift, I just do whatever I can to care for my skin cus once it's gone, it's gone!!

Maybe microcurrent facials would help your saggy jowly bits?

 

[Miss Tickle]

Thanks Ruthie. That's my fear though-I think mine has gone !!

 

[wizzbang]

I think i will skip the makeup thing (especially foundation as i have never worn foundation) and stick to wearing just a tickle of it on my eyes and lips when going out to a proper 'do'. It isn't for me, I would rather be narutal, just use nice body lotion and nice clothes and nice perfume. Not wearing makeup has never caused me any problems, I feel more comfortable wearing my own face than one that comes out of a bottle lol.

Like a wise woman once said - Horses for courses! This mineral make up is actually supposed to be beneficial for your skin, and what I liked about it was it was still just me - but without the red bits. Don't think I'm going to be a daily wearer but it is nice to have the option.

I could never be trusted with a mascara wand - so having my brows and lashes dyed is a fab treat - and it makes SUCH a difference!! plus no worries about smudges, application or removal. I'm such a lazy girl!

 

[Caren]

some people wear it, some dont, thats just the way it is, but i live in Basildon!! hahaha u wasnna see some of the makeup round here!! omg pmsl its really is TOWIE!!! lol

 

[Ruthiep]

In order for lash dying to work, you need to have the raw materials..ie decent lashes! Mine are very sparse, so a good mascara with volumizing bits works wonders for me!

 

[Dinda]

You look very glam in your photo Ruthie - so keep doing whatever you're doing!

Everyone should feel good in their own skin - whatever it takes xx

 

[Ruthiep]

That photo was taken by Lisa my cleaner who isn't known for her photography skills so thank you Dinda!

My OH has just bought me lots of this No 7 range for Christmas as my skin has become so dry post op...it feels really lovely on I must admit I only used to use Vaseline dermacare pre op but need that little extra help now

I've never used foundation all over my face as I've always felt too 'caked' with it on, but a little loose powder and mascara is a must for me...with a little added sparkle on special occasions
