But, compared to other people I know in their 50's and 60's she doesn't look as good sans makeup (at least in that third shot down- her skin just looks really soft). But with makeup, she looks better then most 40 year olds I know.

The people you know in their 50s and 60s must be nuns.

I think she looks really good if you take into account the fact that she spent so many years drinking, smoking, and snorting.

Most of the people in my family have lived hard (as in, lots of drinking, smoking, etc.)...at 65, my great aunt could've passed for 80.

She looked like a 50-something woman with no makeup... little color in her complexion and smallish eyes.

See I think the silent night pics are worse. She looks a hundred times better in these pics.

No, where?

I think she looks okay without make-up, nothing shocking there. I am just amazed at the transformation she goes through for a performance. She almost doesn't look the same anymore. But that goes for a lot of people. Even people 30 years younger than her.

Well the only person I'm really comparing her to is my Grandmother and my next door neighbor. I can't swear that I have seen these people without makeup though, so it might not be fair to compare them! They could never look as stunning as Stevie does, even with all that makeup, though.

I still think she looks fantastic for age, but the make-up works miracles.

Well, don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing that there isn't a striking difference. But that's pretty much the point of makeup.

The majority of women Stevie's age wouldn't be caught dead in public without at least some makeup, and there's a reason why they feel that way.

I think she is wearing a little something-something in these pics....her face complexion looks totally even and soft....which is prolly not the full case...I think she has a little foundation on or something like that.

I don't think she looks her age AT ALL... Have you seen some 60 year old women without makeup before? Not even taking wrinkles into account, they don't look half as good as Stevie..

I agree. Like I said before, without the makeup I would have never recognized her, but she does look very good for her age. My mother is the same age as Stevie and Stevie blows my Mom away (sorry Mom - not like she'd ever see this)

She morphed into my Hilda, I swear.

My mother is a good 5 years younger than Stevie, and Stevie looks about 10 years younger than my mother in those pics. Of course, unlike my mother, Stevie still has her own teeth, which makes more of a difference than you might think.
