<p>Gray eyebrow hairs- I just got my first one. Actually, it was white, and I pulled that baby out. Assuming that they will all start to give up their pigment, then what? Do I use EYEBROW PENCIL if I want eyebrows? I don’t wear a lot of make up and am definitely lacking in skills—I don’t want to look like Joan Crawford!</p>
<p>mafool
having decided that I do care about what I look like- I have been trying to make up for lost time- when I just enjoyed my good genes & washed my face with whatever was in the shower. :rolleyes:
I have blond eyebrows and eyelashes- and while I generaly don’t wear eye makeup I have started dying my eyebrows just a little ( I use the stuff that is sold for men to dye their beards) I wouldn’t put it on my eyelashes- but just a little on my eyebrows helps.
( since it is actually a dye- it is a lot easier than using pencil- some salons will also dye your eyebrows and lashes)</p>
<p>Well, doesn’t that make sense? And of course, it never occurred to me!</p>
<p>thank you!</p>

<p>Have you ever noticed how some folks seem to meet the aging process by adding makeup, but because they don’t see as well, they don’t apply it very well. They end up with crazy jagged eyeliner and eye pencil. Now that scares me because I wouldn’t even realize how ridiculous I look.</p>
<p>Somethings are better left untouched…but which?</p>
<p>Whatever I choose to “touch,” I rely on my wall-mounted magnifying mirror! The reflection is pretty scary sometimes (!), but at least I know that I’m putting the stuff where I intend to!</p>
<p>And for me, that basically means that the mascara is only on my lashes. I don’t have a very large bag of tricks.</p>
<p>mafool, yesterday I had an inadvertant glimpse of my crook-of-arm wrinkles in my magnifying mirror… My scream was right out of ‘Blair Witch.’ From now on I am cocking that mirror at a different angle when it is not deliberately in use!</p>
<p>^^ That reminds me of the day - one day last year actually - I was at the mall with a friend, and we were playing around in the makeup at Sephora…I never buy anything there, just go to play around in the samples - anyway, we would experiment with some stuff, then wipe it off, then go try some other stuff, just playing around on a Saturday afternoon.</p>
<p>Anyway, we left the mall, she went to her car, I went to mine, and discovered a flat tire. Seeing as how it was late in the afternoon, and I knew that my roadside assistance would take forever, and I wanted to get to Sears or someplace before they closed to get the tire replaced/repaired, I simply set about changing it myself. At which point an absolutely stunning, handsome man my age-ish (who happened to be driving the Mercedes convertible parked next to me) showed up and insisted on changing my tire for me. </p>
<p>I noticed there was no wedding ring on his finger, and he didn’t seem “married”, and, he had looked me in the eyes very intently a few times while he was working, so, when he finished changing the tire, I gave him my card, and invited him to call me if I could, say, buy him a cup of coffee sometime etc. as a gesture of appreciation for changing my tire.</p>
<p>Then I hopped in my car, and after he drove away, I looked at myself in my rearview mirror, and just laughed and laughed and laughed. No way was I ever going to receive a telephone call from this man, not for coffee, not for anything, ever; I had purple eye shadow all caked, clumped and smeared on one eye, green on the other, blush all the wrong color on one side of my face, some other color of some other product on the other side, and smears and steaks where I’d wiped some stuff off and then tried other stuff, and basically overall just looked like a very unfortunate clown, and of course the bright sunlight showing every single detail.</p>
<p>Here’s to hoping that our senses of humor last at least as long as our other faculties!! ;0)</p>
<p>I am learning the older I get less is much, much better. Soft colors, soft lightened short hair, less makeup, less weight, less wine, less running but more walking. More is good for some things like exercise, green tea, calcium, fruits and vegetables, loving relationships. More downtime, less stress. And shoes! Good ones. :)</p>
<p>Exercise, exercise, exercise.</p>
<p>And I’m also considering laser treatments on my face. Has anyone done that??</p>
<p>Ditto, very curious about laser.</p>
<p>My BF and I did a pinky swear for no plastic surgery, no botox… but she never mentioned lasers!! ;)</p>
<p>Well, I haven’t read the whole thread, but my sister and I still like to skip. I think it keeps us FEELING young, though it may make us LOOK foolish. What do we care what other people think? Great story, latetoschool!</p>
<p>Belgian shoes: you know they are expensive when you can’t get any idea from their internet site how much it costs!</p>
<p>My husband got some laser treatments on his face. I really didn’t notice any difference. However I’ve got a big and itchy scar from where a melanoma was removed two years ago, and the dermatologist thought lasers would help, so I’ll try it out after college visits - no time now.</p>
<p>There were prices on the Belgian shoes–you just need reading glasses to see them–very expensive!</p>
<p>I’ve admitted this on other threads, but I am approaching the big (or maybe to some of you not-so-big) 4-0 :o</p>
<p>Next month.</p>
<p>^^^Awwww…you are just a pup!</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Too old, can’t even FIND the fine print on any page…how much were they?</p>
<p>Working from memory, Belgians start at about $350/pair.</p>
<p>Dr Drewsmom, “big” zero birthdays begin at 60. Just so you know ;)</p>
