I look younger than my mother did, but it’s partially because I color my hair. (My mother had absolutely beautiful silver hair at my age. I don’t have the nerve to do that yet.) I am 60, I never wear any makeup, and everybody always tells me how young I look, so for now I am not changing anything.

my mother was very beautiful, still is!!! I’ve seen the pictures, and even though we are quite alike, I think she looked better my age…

Physically, I am a lot like my Mother. We have the same medical conditions and weight problem. while my Mother made no attempts to make herself more attractive, I do stil color my hair and have a drawer full of cosmetics. My Mother was a very unhappy person, so she may have had more interest if she had some of todays medications. I did give up manicures when I began gardening and went back to ceramic sculpturing.

My mother wore a horrible red (I mean really red) wig at my age, 75. I don’t know if I look better than her now because all you could see was that sausage curled red wig. She wore it because her father had red hair, she said. Wow!

Mom mom still looks great. She almost never wore makeup, her entire life, but she didn’t have to - she has always had great skin tone and beautiful hair. I hope I age as well as she does, but I seem to be taking after dear old dad, unfortunately!

Not really. My mom’s people look young for their age. I can recall many times being out with my mom somewhere and people assumed we were sisters. Now my dad’s people look their age, so since I have genetics from both sources I look okay, but not better in my opinion.

My mother was always very attractive and she never looked her age. She kept up on her hair style and never went grey until she became ill in her late 70s and passed away a few weeks after her 80th birthday. Many people take me to be in my early 40s instead of mid 50’s, so I suppose I have a young face too. But, she was absolutely movie-star beautiful.
