I know that the thought of going to any make up counter is terrifying.

I screwed up the courage and went to Boots at Barnstaple in Devon in drabs and was very honest with the lady.

She was utterly charming,

She went on to tell me that they had at least 30 clients the same as me.

They encouraged me to make an appointment which I did, quite early as fewer people were in the shop.

Avoid school holidays!

She encouraged me to go en femme and just put a little lippy on for my arrival.

I found a car park close by and went in, tastefully dressed but in day wear.
