Jesus with those glasses.

I always thought there should be a makeup line just for elderly women. What looks good on a 20 y/o, doesn't look good on a 90 y/o. Especially not green eyeshadow and bright red lipstick.

Or anything with shimmer. Trying to find matte colours is tough.

I think some lines cater to an older client base overall, though, right? Like Estee Lauder targets a more mature age bracket, I think.

Sigh. I wish I could wear Slut Red lippy like that. I think she looks great. Older women don't have to stick to beige and pastels. Her hair looks great too.

If she lost the glasses this might not be so bad. And I think the red lipstick looks great on her!

I pretty much love everything about this picture. I think a woman walking around like that would look ridiculous, but I just love it.

I found my model for when I am 90.

Those are both beautiful. I wish I could pull red off convincingly. I feel like I'm permanently stuck in the cool toned pinks.

I think the shot is awesome.

The YSL is a bit harder to pull off, but I've put the Lise Watier color on people of all sorts of skin tones and it looked great each time.
I used to work in cosmetics and when Lise Watier released that color, I wore it at work all the time. Women would ask what I was wearing and I'd show them... we ended up selling out. lol Then my adult women's dance class used it for dance competition because it matched our costumes. Again, was worn by women that are both warm and cool toned.
I'd post a pic of me wearing it, but I'm nervous about that. lol

I don't have the right lips for bright red - they're quite a nice shape but narrow so red makes them look even smaller. I put all my effort into the eyes instead.
