My beauty tip? Cover it up with clothing. Don't show wrinkled cleavage, and spend that face-lift money to your favorite children's charity so they'll live long enough to grow wrinkles. Yes, I use wrinkle cream sometimes, and it would really be nice to be able to get rid of this double chin before it goes triple, but I just don't want to be cut on any more than necessary. So I guess I'll just get old.
I do blonde the gray, and when it grows out around my face between hair color appts, I use my powdered brown eye shadow. How pathetic is that? But it works. Go ahead and laugh, Kris.
Keep the style of your clothes simple and make sure the colors are beautiful and make you feel happy. At least, that's how I tend to dress and I'm hoping that will keep me looking classic as I get older.
Also, take good care of your skin and don't be afraid to gain a few pounds as you get older. My grandmother had beautiful, barely wrinkled skin until the day she died and I think it was because she was a little chubby. Fat as a natural wrinkle-filler, you know?
Wear colors that accent your coloring. I used to be a color consultant before I was a writer. I can tell at a glance if someone is wearing the wrong color for their skin tone.
Trust me, she can tell.
Oh, Colleen, I want a color fix next time I see you!!!
I'll bring my color drapes to Kansas City!
LOL, and now I find out C has been color analyzing us all at the ACFW meetings.
I hear ya on the old cleavage. Put it away girls! I had to wait until mine was wrinkled to have any. ROFLOL
Don't worry about Colleen Pam, we don't listen to her. We wear what we like, and she just announces on tapes that we are in the wrong color/
I'm a huge believer in hair coloration. Some women go from black hair to white hair with great elegance...*sigh*....while others of us go from sorta brownish hair to sorta greyish hair...*another sigh, different tone*
I don't know where the line is, but one of the sweetest little old ladies I ever met, continued to color her hair into her 80's. She still went with red, only it was pink on her white. It honestly was the most adorable thing! Every kid in the room wanted to touch her hair, because it looked like cotton candy.
I'll never be able to carry off pink hair, but I think tasteful color keeps women looking classy.
Oh I hope I get to the point where I can have pink hair. It will go with my rosy circle cheeks that I'm going to paint on. LOL
Not me. When I was in high school, I had my hair every color from orange to GREEN to gray--most of them hair coloring mistakes I made as I tried to remain blond. I will most likely continue to attempt to be a blonde. LOL
will you all hate me if I tell you my hair color is still all natural? I may never have to color it. LOL
Oh, no, we couldn't hate you now that you've lost weight and look like you're in your thirties. Why on earth would we HATE YOU, COLLEEN!!!????
I could never hate you. Colleen! I do resent that you don't have to color your hair, though!
My beauty tip would be to try to keep your hairstyle current. I think it helps if your stylist is a little younger.
And in my opinion, keeping up a bit with the trends and being energetic are "natural" anti-aging techniques. People tell me I don't seem my age. I think it's a mixture of them not being truthful and me being immature, but I still like it. LOL
My mother is 83 and still has dark hair, with only a couple of grays that you have to look for to see. She's never had to color her hair. My dad, on the other hand, was gray at 17. I spotted my first gray at 25. Life is so unfair.
Yes, but Diann, this gives you the natural excuse to be a blonde after having been a brunette. So easy to do. I've never wanted to keep the same look for a long period of time.
This morning, I saw a Chinese woman with bright red hair. We have these Japanese stores here where you can get really cheap stuff from Japan, and they always have rogue boxes of hair color. And I'm thinking that red haired one must have been really cheap! LOL
My beauty tip? Easy, drink lots and lots of water!! It cleanses the body and keeps you full. LOL! And EXERCISE every day. It feels great and keeps you young on the inside.
