I had my face done at a counter once -- the makeup artist practically dragged me into her chair! -- and I looked like one of the Stepford Wives when she was finished. Scary!

I wore a fair amount of makeup when I was younger, but you get used to your face looking like ... you

Have talked to 2 hairdressers who have each worked in their jobs in past 15 years. They have each developed (and they each work at different salons in different cities), over-sensitivity to hair sprays, chemicals, etc. due to overexposure in their jobs.

The last time I work mascara was 25 years ago (yea, 1/4 century ago). My eyes felt heavier and more exhausted. So since I have naturally black lashes, even if on short side, no point trying much harder.

Wearing nail polish -- same, 25 years ago. My fingers felt cooler than normal, to me when I wore nail polish.

So as long as fingernails are neatly shaped and clean, it's ok.

And I never knew that nail extensions were painful to remove, if you change your mind...someone told me a few wks. ago.

Someone once said, "I've never seen an old barn yet that couldn't use a good paint job." When I was much younger I could get by with using vaseline, when I was in my 30's I could even be dramatic if I wanted to be. In my 40's I toned it down a bit.

Now that I'm in my 50's approaching 60, I use it sparingly and wisely. Too much makeup emphasizes the fine lines. Too much makeup collects in creases. Too little makeup just makes a woman look old.

To me a woman's face is like a painter's canvas. Each of us and our mates see the outcome in a different way and process it through our filters.

Just like art, a woman's facial beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One of my daughters was married to a man who refused to let her wear makeup because he was afraid other men would be attracted to her.

Needless to say, that marriage lasted about as long as an ice cream cone in July...
