Looking at self in mirror & forgetting as one ages?

[Miranda]

I think when it takes me by surprise the most is catching my reflection out in public. Like a store front window, or randomly placed mirror.

It seems that lighting in the store is also the worst. The natural light in my little car vanity mirror is a bit softer to look at.

edit add: I think on the make-up our skin is different. What works before doesn't so well now. Meaning, powders and dramatic colors just seem to draw attention to the lines. I still wear make-up. Just creamier, softer, more natural matching palettes.
