At the same time - I say this while holding my breath because I already know I am going to offend some on here - when I first saw the women from this group, they looked exactly like Apostolic women to me. Long hair done up Pentecostal style. Long dresses. No make-up. And I'll tell you honestly, many, many Pentecostal women I know look much older than their real ages. MOST of us look older than our actual ages without at least a small amount of make-up. Then add the hair-do's and there goes a few more years............

Plus, the one other thing we have to keep in mind is the trauma that these women are experiencing right now. Everybody looks much older when they are in the middle of a crisis time.

I agree with some of what you've said Margie, stressful situations etc.. although it's been my experience that the no make up thing sometimes works for a woman... my mom looks much younger than many many of the ladies she has worked with and she is older than some of them. She doesn't wear any make up of any kind.

Another thing, if the reports of the amount of work these woman do are correct, they work long hours, put in long days, have numerous numerous children in their lifetimes... it's not a wonder they look 10 or more years older than they claim... plus the fact people wear make up when on tv for a reason. lol

It has been my experience that Apostolic woman who don't have hard rough lives, with a lot of stress, and take care of their skin by creams or staying out of the sun etc... do stay looking younger. (depends on your gene's too)

Depending on how you wear your make up, a person can make themselves look older (especially younger woman)... and woman who cake it on, often look older because you can tell they're hiding their face, so to speak.

I have to add.. The Mrs, I would have never guessed you to be 42 from any of your profile pics. You look much younger.. I wouldn't have put you a day over 35 for certain. (no lie)
