About This Quote
The quote, “Over time, I have realized that at 20, you can wear too much makeup and people assume you’re a slut. Do it at 40 and they think you’re a sea witch.” was written by English author and journalist Elinor Glyn. This is a humorously sarcastic remark aimed at those who put on too much makeup as young women. It's part of the perceptive view that young women should not be as overly made-up as older women, as they will then be perceived as being either "sluts" or "witches".
