Mirror, Mirror...

     As we age, our eyesight gets worse.  It is inevitable.  So we wait until we can no longer read the itsy bitsy fine print on our mascara or makeup bottles.  Readers help with this, but you cannot put on eye makeup with readers on.  

     The number one item you should invest in, is the evil-yet-fascinating magnifying mirror.   Preferably you will want to purchase one with at least 8X to 10X magnification and a light.  Conair makes one for around $60.  I also found a $10 handheld model that is made by Goody to take on vacation.  At least you can make sure that your makeup is where it should be and blended in before leaving home.  Between us, it more importantly helps to see those nasty dark chin hairs that you are blessed with when menopause rears its ugly head.
