Just for fun, seen a few posts about asking " How old do you think I am"
No filters and had a glass of wine but sock it to me 😁 Lighthearted of course! Smile

Sorry! God I'm laughing at some of the responses but in a good way! It was just a bit of lighthearted fun and sorry if I offended anyone with the post! Will be 40 next month just in case anyone was interested 😂

And yes to the eyebrows making me older, I was a 90's kid and plucked them to oblivion and too scared to try and fill them in in case it looks terrible! My teenage daughter is always threatening to "do them for me" but I don't like the caterpillar look 😂

I had mine done. I didn’t want caterpillars, they just look what they would have looked liked if cousin and I hadn’t shaved them off in the 90’s. They never grew back properly. Grin

Oh and I have definitely not had any Botox but have considered it! The picture might not be the best for showing my wrinkles and crows feet but they are absolutely there I can assure you!

@diege you are properly gorgeous, Spanish/Italian genes?

Dancinghorses36 · 19/01/2020 20:54

YesIDoLoveCrisps, oh I had many a friend that shaved them off but I wasn't that brave, I would probably have been just as well doing that right enough 😂 Might be brave and let my daughter at them

@ilovepixie 62.

OP I agree with your DD, I would get your eyebrows done, they are aging you. I hate caterpillars too but there's a happy medium!

formerbabe · 19/01/2020 21:06

I think @ilovepixie is late forties. You have great skin.

Dancinghorses36 · 19/01/2020 21:08

Thanks yogo, yeah will definitely get them done I think, can't turn out to be any worse than now 😂

Every person who posts their photos on these threads needs to step away from the filters and an eyebrow intervention

AnnDaloozier · 19/01/2020 21:12

Jesus duchess. Put your tits away

Oakeyy · 19/01/2020 21:16

I guessed 39. Definitely try the eyebrows! Just ask for a soft, natural look rather than the thick, sluggy look!

Pinkbonbon · 19/01/2020 21:19

I think the blonde hair might be aging you too op. Ever had it a warm brown shade? Think it might take years off you.

diege · 19/01/2020 21:20

Thank you MrsPmt - I'm Welsh 🤣
No filters (I wouldn't know how) but my eyebrows are shit. Over plucked in the 90s, of course.

Dancinghorses36 · 19/01/2020 21:21

Oakeyy, thanks, will ask for that and then try to learn how to use an eyebrow pencil after about 20 years 😂

Pinkbonbon, funny that as I have a brown box dye that has been in my cupboard for a few months, was thinking about it but just not had the courage as I have been light all my days, change could be good tho, just worried in case it makes me look even older but hey, only live once and all that Smile

Diege - you might not have used a filter, but in that case the lense is smeary, as the light is definitely filtering through something. Always going to be difficult to judge when you're obviously good at maintenance, but 44? You could easily pass for late 20s at a glance though, which is very impressive.

I am not pretty, but rather chuffed that I got two 33s and a 42... because I'm 50, no make up, and clear full daylight. But it does go with comments over the years. I reckon it's because I've just woken up!

Downunderduchess · 19/01/2020 21:43

@ AnnDaloozier. Seriously? I’m not sure if you meant that lightheartedly or seriously. I’m in Sydney and we are having a very hot summer so I’m wearing a summer dress in my own home. It’s not anything different from what most people wear here when it gets so hot. I wouldn’t have shown the photo if I thought it was revealing.

Pinkbonbon · 19/01/2020 21:45

Yeah go for it :) I think light blonde is often quite aging on people. Think you'll suit brown, hopefully!

LaMarschallin · 19/01/2020 21:46

As a general observation, people don't generally get marionette lines until late 30s, early 40s at the soonest.
