Sunday Selfie

~ MaryG

I have been trying to figure out how to do my makeup for an outdoor photo session with my daughter’s family next weekend. I don’t wear much makeup these days and I want to use the products I already have, rather than buy more stuff. So, I did an inventory on the products I already own and made a list. I asked ChatGPT to make recommendations based on the list. It made me a step-by-step guide and I basically followed it.

I’m going to be 61 in a couple weeks and this is what I look like with some makeup. My grey hair is pretty minimal. (I don’t use hair color.) I’ve never tried Botox or had any cosmetic surgery. I did try eyelash extensions once, but that was many years ago.

I think I look pretty good, but I just ordered an eyelash curler. (I haven’t used one of those in decades. Hopefully they’re safer now.) I think that might help boost the mascara a bit.

I could not resist googling which Mar-a-lago Ladies are my exact age (born in 1965) and it turns out that RFK Jr’s wife—the actress Cheryl Hines— is 60 also.

IMO, her face looks relatively natural compared to some of them.

  2. I don’t even want to click on that link. 🙂 I do think you look fabulous, although I’m sad you used AI to get there. I am working very hard to not use AI, and I’m proud that my young’ uns (my son and his two cousins) do not. Still, that’s not the point here. The point is:

    YOU LOOK GREAT!

    I’m thinking you would look even more fabulous without makeup, but that’s just the way I am; I hate the stuff. You’ve got a natural look going there, I must say.

    2. Thanks Shelly!! I appreciate that!!
      And of course you are so right about AI. I saw the term was booed at multiple college commencements this weekend. It’s all wrong, but I’m fucking hooked.

  4. You look great. Whether with or without makeup. Although I have a bit of makeup, I haven’t worn any for years. If I was wearing the full makeup again, I would need some lipstick and mascara.

    I am 50 today. Enjoy whatever plans you have got for your birthday in a couple of weeks. 😊

    1. Thank you so much Liz. You’re the age I was when I started my blog. Seems like a lifetime ago. I think focusing on your health in your 50s is probably the best thing you can do for your looks in your 60s. It’s great that you walk so much.

      1. You’re welcome, Mary. I have not had it recently. But a lot of the times last year and the years prior, people think I am still in my 20s. The odd person thinks I am in my 30s.

      1. Yes. Today. I took myself to the Kitty Café today. Had an n hour there before going to Nottingham Castle and having time here before wherever next. 😊

  7. You look great! And for an outdoor photo shoot, you’re right. Minimal light makeup is best. Sunlight can be harsh to us women of a certain age. I’ve got you by a year, turned 62 in December.

  8. Great look! I don’t know about those Mar-a-Lago faces; most of them look pretty rough. I think a natural look like the ones from Jamie Lee Curtis and Helen Mirren, who, as far as I know, have had no surgeries, is the way to go. Yours is wonderful!
