Okay ladies...and self-proclaimed metrosexuals. I have never seen this topic on FR before, although I don't doubt that it has been here and I have just missed it. There are a lot of smart and attractive women on FR, and since we women put so much time, money and effort into how we look, doesn't it seem like a good idea to share what we've learned.
Do you shave or wax? Color your hair? Sun, salon or self tan? Where do you shop? What is your skin care routine and what do you use? What are you happy with and what do you want to change? Have you had...or would you have cosmetic surgery? Tatoos and piercings? What about diet and health tips? How do you choose your colors? Are you a jewelry fanatic? A clothes horse? Elegant or simple? Classy or cool? Lace or linen? Do you work out? Go dancing? Hike? Ride? Chase kids? What are your diet do's and don't's? What gets you motivated? What are your best features? Complete this sentence: "I hate my ...." Do you enjoy shopping...or hate it? What have you bought new for spring? The possibilities are endless....
Yes, FReep men, you can peek, but you must promise not to give away our secrets.
I married a woman with poor eyesight. She doesn't know just how ugly I am.
Mary Kay!
Ok.....put foundation on your lips before applying lipstick. Lasts much longer and goes on better.
Good idea. I'd rather do that than actually put foundation on my face; I go nuts with all that stuff blocking my pores.
Male Fashion Tip: Let your wife buy your clothes, and your daughter tell you which things look good together....
Ditto. I never wear it on my face! yuck! btw, eye cover cream I DO use...on my lips too.
Pinging a few FReeper ladies.

Optimism will keep you young and beautiful.
Wear a little make-up and a lot of confidence. Men always find this attractive. Never be afraid to shine.
Drink 4 bottles of water a day and a nice glass of Cabernet in the evening. It helps you get the sleep you need.
Eat three meals a day. Skip one and you'll binge later. If you want to eat something you consider a cheat, make it count. Go for a fabulous dark chocolate truffle instead of a cheap candy bar. Perfect example of how to send positive messages to yourself. Make a conscious effort to do so.
Walk at least 30 minutes, preferably at lunchtime. You'll be glad you took the time off work and your skin will have a great glow in the afternoon. It also reduces the need to powder your nose for a late day meeting.
Never pay retail. Buy classic suits and you'll never be afraid to look back in your photo albums. And for that matter, always buy good underwear. Keeping your most beautiful items closest to your skin tells your body you love it and intend to care for the gift G-d gave you to house your soul.

Oh, boy, how much can I get in before this thread gets pulled?
Sage advice. You sound like you're one classy gal.
Lots of water, lots of sleep.
Feed yourself like you'd feed company.
Whatever exercise you do should be fun.
A great hairdresser,electric shaver, mascara and sunscreen are worth their weight in gold (unless your hairdresser is built like a Sumo wrestler).
Cute shoes and pretty sparklies make leaving the house fun.
And drink lots of sweet tea, made the right way.
Get HIM drunk, then I'll look okay! ;o)
