@Greek2me

30s or 40s. I think the hair and eyebrows are aging you. Lighten your hair, change to a center parting, lighten your eyebrows and shape them with an arch a bit.
Thank you, but I don't want to change anything I'm comfortable with myself.

OP, my initial thought was that you were late 20s.

No one in their 40s would look anywhere near as good as you - those people guessing 40s must trick themselves into believing they look a lot younger than they really are!

@PrincessHoneysuckle 33.

I'm sorry I put 10 years on you OP. It is probably a bad picture, I bet in real life you are clearly younger than me.

As an aside I wonder what it is about the middle aged demograph, which most of us here are, that makes us see younger women like yourself as looking our age, yet so often on here one of these threads posted by a clearly slightly older middle aged lady, say 55-65 and we are falling over ourselves to say she looks 40.

Wishful thinking maybe?

Roowig2020 · 11/08/2020 14:20

34

withlotsoflove · 11/08/2020 14:21

OcarinaBear · 11/08/2020 14:21

@princessHoneysuckle late 20s

Tinsellball · 11/08/2020 14:21

20s. Love your hair.

OP it's good you're not bothered about changing anything.

sakura06 · 11/08/2020 14:22

I thought 25.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 11/08/2020 14:24

😀 I'm 40

Lelophants · 11/08/2020 14:24

31

The resolution in the picture isn't great so it's hard to tell- blurry pictures act in the same way as filters.

I'm 40 and you look about my age. I plucked my eyebrows to shreds in the 90s and still have thick full brows, so that is a misnomer.

Miseryl · 11/08/2020 14:28

Sorry I have just read thread-24!

TheRealHousewife · 11/08/2020 14:32

Goodness me. Not trying to be rude to the @hearhimsnore and @PrincessHoneysuckle but why? Just why? Do you have low self esteem? Do you need validation? Is it to receive compliments etc?

Whatever the reason you are both considerably braver than I 😬

PrincessHoneysuckle · 11/08/2020 14:33

No low self esteem at all.ive seen loads of these threads and thought id do it for a laugh.

GreekOddess · 11/08/2020 14:34

32

Illdealwithitinaminute · 11/08/2020 14:35

The people saying over-40, I have a lot of over 40 friends and they don't look like the OP, not when they smile, not one! Some people are quite delusional about their age I think. The Op looks her age, possibly to early thirties at a push, but there aren't people with natural hair colour, no wrinkles etc age 48!! (except on mumsnet, obviously)

Yesyoudoknowme · 11/08/2020 14:35

With those eyebrows mid twenties - anyone older than that would know that they are ridiculous. And if that is rude, sorry, but you asked. Don't ask questions you aren't happy to get a cross section of replies to...

GreekOddess · 11/08/2020 14:35

@PrincessHoneysuckle - 30

Yesyoudoknowme · 11/08/2020 14:37

Just seen update - Fair enough. You will, hopefully, grow out of your eyebrows.

1forAll74 · 11/08/2020 14:39

There are too many of these How old do I look posts. I am never sure what the reasons are for asking this question. Unless there is a cash prize for guessing correctly !!

MrsHuntGeneNotJeremyObviously · 11/08/2020 14:45

OP I would have said 34. The good thing about looking older when you are young is that as you age, you will probably then look younger than your years - you won't continue to just look older. You'll have a 'timeless' face that she's very well.
This may or may not matter to you. I think if I was choosing I'd prefer to look good rather than young. The two are not the same.

She asked how old she looks, not for random insults of her face, you massive dickhead.
