Today I feel at 56 how I felt at 35–I’m aware my body is changing.
Thirty-five was the first time I was aware of this subtle shift in the physical.
The 40-and-over women’s makeover books focus on the outside. As if the only kind of makeover should involve makeup.
In the 1990s magazine Jane if I remember there was a makeunder photo shoot.
My way to go will be eyeliner foundation and lipstick. Eyeshadow added for an event.
In other areas of our lives post-40 a makeunder could be just the rocket booster for our confidence.
For the second time this year I’m filling donation bags to cart to the Salvation Army.
The older I’ve gotten the need to discard and minimize hit me like sand in the face.
Fifty and beyond is the time for editing and weeding out what no longer works.
One day I woke up and realized the MAC Studio Fix powder foundation suddenly made my face look cakey. After five years where it was stunning.
What about those friends that you realize out of the blue have reduced you to tears?
A makeunder? Count me in. Who needs 22 tubes of lipstick?
Who needs mental emotional and material clutter taking up space in our lives?
