A soft touch of make-up, some hair extensions or coloring, etc. is fine IMO. Of course, if you look at the beautiful people of Hollywood, some of them have had entirely too much plastic surgery done - they look like plastic people, no facial expression, skin stretched too taunt, silly looking chipmunk checks and rubber lips due to over use of Botox and other methods used to 'erase' wrinkles. People of advanced age who dye their hair jet black and smear their faces with heavy make-up look like cartoon characters to me. I don't find it attractive but I guess they do. To each his own I guess.
There is, however, something to be said for having body parts that no longer work, have deteriorated, or cause pain being replaced. My husband just had the lenses of his eyes replaced due to cataracts. There is no reason for him to walk around with impaired vision if it can be improved.
Joint replacement for painful, deteriorated joints makes sense. It goes to the quality of life.
Would I wear a wig? IDK. I use to wear make-up. Yes it enhanced my looks. But I don't wear it anymore. I don't like the feel of foundation on my skin, and its time consuming to apply. And don't rub your eyes!!
I do style my hair, though don't color it. I keep my nails trimmed, but don't paint them. I am comfortable living in my own skin. Sure I would love to be young again, but the clocks can't be turned back through artificial means.
