Ya know why women wear makeup and perfume?

I don't think that everyone could be stunning (by contemporary standards) with makeup. There has to be something there to work with. Surgery and makeup, though, yes. But how much of that is due to redefined standards of beauty? When everyone starts doing it, it's expected. If no one followed suit, would we still think the "after" photos were beautiful? Or would they look freakishly unnatural?

I'm also looking at the pictures and they look photoshopped, still.... it's delicately done, but something's not entirely right with it all. Not to mention the make up they had to use on some was pretty thick, and it showed (to me). I'm always sad when someone covers up their freckles. I wish I had more. I just have a couple by my left eye.

The women who are attractive in their "before" pics look completely overdone in their after pics. But, the women who really need some help, look amazing.

That is funny you say that. My s-i-l had said that before, that she thought women who wore perfume {or at least that everyone could smell} did so because they were hiding some smell.

I don't want to look overdone. I was a little worried last night when someone was telling my sis and I we looked good for our ages...my sis is about 54....I don't know if I want to know how old I look.

I feel like a 12 year old geek.

I am just working on staying alive.

I can totally buy into that.

Nah, my mom never wore makeup, and she had people thinking she was a senior when she was 45. I'd vouch for her stress levels, as well as her chain smoking, as real culprits in her aging. Not dying your hair makes a big difference too...

What helps you look young is taking care of sun damage, moisturizing, etc - and as NA pointed out make up today, in many cases, is beneficial.

I actually need to go shopping for makeup, but I just can't seem to drag my ass out to go get anything good...

Good skin = drinking lots of water and using sunblock and moisturizing.
