[QUOTE="donna723, post: 113787, member: 1883"] DDD, being a member of the "not-quite-young" group myself ... I think the idea of a makeover is excellent, if you both do it (so she doesn't get her feelings hurt) and if it's done as "just for fun". Someone very skilled in makeup could show her what colors to use and what would work best on her. I know when I've seen professional makeovers done on older ladies, the makeup is usually subtle and understated and they DON'T end up looking like they've got a lot of makeup on, even if they do. And I'm guilty of being one who still does my makeup exactly the same as I did twenty years ago! Does she have a "thing" about having her eyes examined and getting glasses if necessary? Very few people reach their seventies without needing some sort of vision correction. If her vision has gotten bad enough that she can't see to put on her makeup properly, it's probably affecting other areas of her life too. I've worn glasses for about twelve years now and desperately need new ones (when I can afford it). But I can really tell that, the worse my vision gets, the harder it is to put on my makeup. And eventually you get to a point where you can't put on makeup with your glasses on but you can't see well enough without them to put your makeup on! As I've grown older, I can tell too that I need a much stronger light to do any kind of close work, even reading, than I did before. I think it would greatly help her to have a very good strong light to use, a good magnifying mirror, a little professional advice, and the right kinds of cosmetics in the correct shades for her skin tones.
