For the "Glam" of it

I find that a shimmery/glittery shadow tends to accent the wrinkles on my lids. I wear it anyway, but a matte color is really better.

Cannot STAND foundation.....It makes me feel as though my skin is smothered, I don't care how "light" they say it is.

L'Oreal true match blush is what I use.

My daughter also recommended Burt's Bees lip tint. LOVE it. Yes....You must reapply more often, but my lips are velvety soft all the time....You know, for all that KISSING I don't get.

And finally, my brows....UGH. When I lost Melody, I also lost a lot of hair. My brows never did fully recover. I find a pencil to be too harsh for me, so I use NYX cake powder..."for those movie star brows"... w.e. L'Oreal used to make Revitalist (same sorta product), but no longer make that. I used it because it looks more natural than a pencil.

God help me when I lose weight....my face will be one big wrinkle!!!

You can get it at Ulta. You can get it at the store or buy it online.

Ulta is where I got it. I was so happy!

My mascara doesn't flake....someone asked about that earlier. I think it's waterproof, too.

One thing I forgot to mention that I use ~ at the end of my day when I've washed my face ~ is Olay Definity. It's not greasy feeling and I've come to even use it after my morning shower, too, because of that AND it has a little glisten to it which I find lovely.

All in all.....I'm of the thinking that I'm 58. I'm aging. My face and hands are going to wrinkle. I embrace it, but I'm not gonna let those wrinkles walk all over me without giving them a run for their (my) money!

There is a woman who lives across the street from me who is probably in her upper 80's.......her hair is white and her face is one big wrinkle.....but I find her to be one of the loveliest women I've ever seen.

Any other Mary Kay fans out there? I don't wear foundation or much make up at all actually but their mascara and concealers are great.

Love the satin hands for silky smooth hands too!

I used to use their satin hands stuff. I liked it. They also had this wonderful powder that had just a touch of glitter.
