I'd like to be very thin with a brunette bob and big brown eyes.

Me 10 years ago, but with the appreciation I have now that I actually looked ok back then!

I'd like to look like the beautiful Dutch women that seem ubiquitous in French campsites. Thick silver blond hair, clear eyes and skin effortlessly athletic and tanned.

Couple of inches taller (so 5.5")
Dark brown straight below shoulder hair.
Green eyes
Full lips
Medium skin tone
Slim but curvy figure (10/12) -more hourglass than my apple.

Me aged 18 but with thicker hair and much better style.

Smooth golden skin. Was always envious of Spanish / Italian students, when I was younger, in their bright Benetton colours.
I have pale skin with freckles, red bits, stretch marks, keratosis. Although, my red cheeks & shoulder freckles are youthful looking, now.

shiningstar2 · 27/05/2020 21:30

I would be 5 inches taller and 2 stone lighter Grin

MacavityTheDentistsCat · 27/05/2020 21:37

Like Sophie Marceau in the Bond film. I'm not too bothered about her looks myself but my DH would be thrilled Grin.

I wish I looked like Brigitte Bardot (as she was in her prime), not only did she look beautiful but she also looked really cool too.

Exactly like Emma Watson, but with my colouring (olive skin, dark hair and eyes).

justamumof1 · 27/05/2020 21:53

Smaller boobs, bigger bum and a looser/smoother hair texture, plus hair that grows past my shoulders (for once in my life).

Littleyellowfootball · 27/05/2020 21:54

I’m known for my mane of hair it’s huge and my best feature (it hides a number of sins!)
I absolutely lovely sleek dark bob hairstyles but my huge hair would be like a mushroom if I did this.
If I could pick I’d be naturally pretty, slick bobbed hair, tall (not too talk) , slim and stylish.
In reality I’m tall (probably too tall), pretty kind of if there’s a lot of make up involved, huge hair, very curvy big boobs and style dependant on tall clothes for big boobs so not a lot of choice.

Msfoxy17 · 27/05/2020 21:55

Tricky question.
Mainly I'd like to have that healthy glow/great natural hair requiring minimal attention to look great. Doesn't really matter what hair/eye colour etc altbo think blondes tend to pull it off better.
I'd like to be someone that never feels the need to put on make up to look good.
Although in terms of real beauty...I'd say pale skin but that doesn't burn..kind of goes a nice light brown colour ..dark ha
ir and v slim physique. Think Eva Green but perhaps a bit curvier.

Littleyellowfootball · 27/05/2020 21:56

Basically Emma Willis in an ideal world.

SpoutHandleLidOfMetal · 27/05/2020 21:57

I'd look like me at 28! 7 stone ago... groan.

mamaduckbone · 27/05/2020 22:00

I'd just like to be willowy - one of those elegant people with really good bone structure and long limbs. I'm naturally on the 'big-boned' side and chubby of cheek so the polar opposite of reality, of course.
Big eyes as well, please, and naturally glossy, thick hair. I'll keep my own lips and boobs but that's about it.

Arseit · 27/05/2020 22:02

I’d go for Eva Green

Anotherthink · 27/05/2020 22:03

Hmm I'd like a darker complexion and less scarring please. I have an overbite I'd like fixed too.

Really though I wish I was just more comfortable in my own skin. Anyone looks attractive in the flesh (ok maybe not in photos) when they're confident. Also how easy life must be when you're not feeling awkward in most scenarios.

JoeExoticsEyebrowRing · 27/05/2020 22:06

I would be a good 4 or 5 inches taller, I would like skin that tans easily, and thinner calves (I was blessed with the calves of a body builder it seems, I would love dainty feminine legs!). Longer arms as mine are weirdly short and fat. Blondish hair that goes lighter on holiday and can be enhanced with some highlights and gets beach waves when damp, rather than just turning into a mushroom, and hair that didn't start going grey in my teens. A nice jawline which keeps its shape even if I gain a bit of weight, and nice full lips. I would keep my boobs and would also keep my eye colour.
