After five decades peddling Mary Kay cosmetics, 92-year-old Ouida Caldwell knows how to get the most out of products like the anti-aging cream.
“You just smear it all over!” said Caldwell, who was honored Friday as the Addison company’s longest-tenured consultant.
Besides the obvious places, “all over” included baseball gloves and the back seat of her pink Cadillac, which children would often slide across whenever she turned a corner.
“We joke that we’re going to put her ashes in a Mary Kay jar,” her daughter Julia Bales said. “She was made for this.”
