Is there a right amount of make-up for an older woman?

Cameron Diaz recently said that ageing was one of the last taboos before posting a selfie of herself without make-up and wearing her (albeit tiny) wrinkles with pride. So, how does our relationship with make-up and our appearance change as we get older? Jane Garvey speaks to Tricia Cusden, the founder of Look Fabulous Forever, and journalist Helen Walmsley-Johnson, author of The Invisible Woman column, about the pressure to stay looking young and why they both prefer to age well.
