I have a question.
I am 32 years old. I really love lip gloss, especially Clinique's Impossibly Glossy, but sometimes I wonder if I'm too old to wear lipgloss. You know, that maybe it looks too "high school?"
What does everyone think about this?
 
I worked for a beauty counter and IMO, there is NO AGE LIMIT for lipgloss!!! I've sold plenty of lipgloss to "older" women. Most of them preferred something with LESS shimmer. :smile:

Lipgloss all the way!!

ANd btw, 32 is NOT old.

:greengrin:
 
I agree- lip gloss has NO age limits. BUT, if one's lips are clearly over-glossed and has loads of lines in it, then it's maybe time to tone the gloss down to a less glossy shade.
 
When I saw the title, I thought you were going to ask whether little girls should be allowed to wear lip gloss, lol. (FWIW, dh and I think not.)

IMO, 32 is certainly not too old for lip gloss. I like a subtle lip gloss, more like a sheer color with a hint of sparkle. Looking at the Clinique website, I can't really tell what the Impossibly Glossy lip gloss would look like. Wouldn't it be helpful if they would post pictures of what the colors looked like on actual lips? :smile:
 
I'm (ahem) getting older and only started wearing lip gloss about a year ago. I find that it makes me look softer and younger than a cakey, opaque, dry lipstick. One caveat, if you have long hair, like I do, don't wear lipgloss on a very windy day :P
 
Heck yeah I love lipgloss...it's on! Chanel Glossimer in twinkle is my absolute fave because it stays put and doesn't make me look like I'm drooling, hee hee.
