Older Gals Get Make-Overs

They both looked stunning! I'd love a makeover and for someone to show me how to make the best of my gorgeous looks!:lies:
 

I didn't think they looked any better after their makeover. I don't see the point in trying to be what you aren't!
 
I think it's great to make the best of yourself, it's uplifting and makes you feel good, they didn't have plastic surgery and they are still the same folk but perhaps happier, it's not a case of trying to be someone else, it's a positive step to enhance your wellbeing,

I wear makeup and perfume too, if it feels good do it!
 
I just like being me. I detest make up, and don't dress up unless I really have to. As long as my clothes are clean and comfortable that is all that concerns me.

I agree Honey! Aside from the dressy clothes they put them in (which they always do), just a good haircut makes things a lot easier on a daily basis, and makes you look and feel better. :hair: I still wear a little makeup too, not on my skin, just a bit of liner, shadow and mascara on my eyes. Not everyday, but most days...when we go camping, makeup stays home.
 
I don't like dressing up, feel much more comfy in jeans or trousers, I don't go overboard on makeup either and only wear it if I go out in case I frighten the natives
 
I'm either in jeans or cargo pants on a daily basis, can't remember the last time I had to get dressed up for anything, and that's the way I like it! :cool:

It doesn't look to me like they're trying to be something they aren't. It looks to me like they're simply making the most of what they are...and they look happy with the results.

Why would anyone want to make themselves look like less than they are? If that were the case, we'd all be wearing rags, deliberately putting on mountains of weight, not bothering with brushing our teeth or combing our hair (not to mention not bothering to bathe)!

And before it's mentioned, vanity has nothing to do with it. It's a matter of self-respect and love of self, something we all need in order to respect and love others.
 
Thank you, Honey. It gets tiresome to consistently get negative comments about any subject that's brought up that even hints at being construed as pleasant.
 
Sorry gals, but I've been hearing this song all over the place, and thought it was appropriate for this thread. :p The second I hear it, I start moving and dancing even in my seat, and singing (of course), LOL!

Thanks for this SB, I changed my mind about some things over the last, two weeks, I am going to quit listening to people who "cry" vanity. If I want to look my best, put on a little makeup, my earrings, fix my hair and use some perfume, I am going to do it. These gals are lovely, but it my opinion, it looks like they didn't care how they looked on the outside in the "befores". This is something that has bothered me about "me" for that last year or so. I think because I'm old (older) and not looking for a man anymore (Ok, I still hope) what's the use in dolling up. Well the "use" for me is, I feel better about me.

If you gals out there feel great about you without the "glimmer" good for you!! I admire you, but to thine own self be true right? So I need to try a bit to feel better about me. Yes, I'm older now, drooping, and it's hard to put on makeup because of a tremor, but I want to try. I think what I thought was accepting and being happy with the lack of fixing up was not a healthy thing, it was more of giving up, and thinking because I'm older, what's the use.

So like I said, if you feel good the way you are with no makeup or any dolling up, good for you. I just am not where you are, maybe one day:) and maybe not!

LOL, oh you are so my kinda people Honey! It would be fun to have a makeover for sure, I especially love someone doing my hair, the washing is my fave, LOL!! We should have a "senior forum" slumber party with all the girls (sorry guys, lol) :D and we can all do each other's makeup etc. I was thinking last night how bad I need an eyebrow "fix" LOL!!

Ditto Georgia! Seems there are some folks in this world that look to bring others down because they are so unhappy. What is that saying, misery loves company. Well good luck with that because there are "up" folks here and you are NOT going to ruin our day;) LOL!!

I don't go for all the glitter and glam, I don't wear any jewelry either aside from my wedding band, even my engagement ring stays put in the safe and only taken out on special occasions. Aside from looking nice for other people, who doesn't feel better and uplifted after a good haircut? I got mine cut a few days ago (had a coupon), and although I keep it shoulder-length, a good bang trim and layer clean up, makes me feel much better. :eek:k:
 
I use to tell my step daughters that a little vanity was a healthy thing to have. It keeps each of us on our toes, and helps us take care of ourselves. We need a little of all the personal traits.
I do wish someone had taught me how to wear makeup and pretty clothes. I tried to put on makeup just once, and I just ended up looking like a clown.
At 62, I do wonder what it would be like.:bowknot::hair::cool1:
