In reply to the discussion: For the over 70 crowd of women here......to use mascara or not to use mascara??? [View all]3catwoman3
(24,072 posts)65. Do you do this yourself...
...or at a salon?
I had it done once, years ago, and it was really nice.
My current salon won't do it because they say it's not FDA approved.

Somewhere along the way I stopped the lipstick also, lol. Just carmex or another gloss.

I haven't worn any makeup since 1991. I'll be 74 in 6 weeks. Wish they made a gray eyebrow pencil

For a subtle look, try some eye shadow applied to your eyebrows with a thin sable art brush.
