My aunt always asked me to avoid applying makeup because it will make me age faster. She will preach whenever she sees me with makeup on because she felt that it is very wrong for me to do so.
My grandmother doesn't really talk about beauty stuff with me. I think her interests lean more towards cooking. But I still think she loves looking pretty. Even at her age now. Because she still apply powder foundation occasionally and she still dyes her hair on a regular basis. Yes, she hates white hair. I don’t think she will ever embrace white hair.
My grandmother is quite a practical person actually. She feels that a bar soap can pretty much cover everything. Bar soap is not only for the body okay people. She feels that it can be used for the face and head as well. She can never understand why I got so many products lying around. Don’t even expect her to know what toner, serum, moisturiser and etc are meant for.
As for my mum, she is vain. LOL. She loves to dress up, do her hair, paint her nails and of course makeup too. I think I got her genes which explains why I’m spending so much money on these things. Age doesn’t stop her from doing what she likes. She still dresses up, dolls up and even went on a diet because she wants to look slim and pretty.
I don’t know how my grandma maintains using only bar soap but she did it surprisingly and my mum uses egg white mask to keep her skin soft, tight and smooth. It is smelly she said but amazing. I will let you know if I try that!
I am glad I am able to share this with you today. On a normal day I wouldn’t discuss this topic with them but after this post, it makes me want to talk more about beauty related stuff with my grandma and mum!
If I have a daughter I would want her to talk beauty things with me too. :D I won’t mind putting makeup at age 60s and 70s wahahhaa and of course she has to buy those expensive makeup for me. =D
Till the next time people!
