Never Too Old For Glitter

Hi, glitter babes!

I'm new here, but not exactly new to makeup.

Who am I? I'm over 60, overweight, post-menopause, Caucasian/white or whatever it's called these days (my skin is clearly not *white* and my ethnic heritage is not from the Caucasus). I have very few wrinkles on my face. But i do have rosacea on my cheeks and dark patches on my jaw lines. I was never a sunbather: I got my overexposure acting in Renaissance Fairs. I don't have puffiness or bags  or dark circles under my eyes, but i do have some fine lines & wrinkles there. I also have droopy eyelids and some crazed lines on my eyelids close to my nose.

Now that I'm gettin' up there, I have gotten into skin care. I don't know if it is really relieving any of my skin problems, but it definitely makes my skin feel better.

I don't have a love-hate relationship with makeup; I have a love-indifference relationship. I go through periods of enjoying it - and then periods of ignoring it. I especially enjoy wearing makeup in odd colors and interesting textures.

The name of this blog is a bit of irony. While I certainly hope I don't overdo it, I actually enjoy a little judiciously placed glitter when I'm in the mood. This blog will be about my experiences diving back into the world of cosmetics and skin care, playing and having fun, and also building more practical applications.

Are you too old for glitter?

If you still love glitter, please share which are your favorite glittery cosmetics?

If you think you're too old for it, I'd love to hear why.
