People tell me (unprompted) I don't look my age but I'm never sure whether they are being polite or if not what age they think I am. How old would you have said I look? My pic is on my profile and I'm wearing tinted moisturizer if that helps.

I think having a big age gap between me and DH makes me a bit conscious about it Blush

madame, was going to put 47. Only because I think you look very like Sarah Brown, including similar age, and she's 47. Meant as a compliment because I think she looks good, btw. Hope you do too!

I reckon 34 - ish.

You look lovely....obviously you're the bride so you should but, nice clear skin, not drag queen makeup a la Katie Price which I'm astonished so many brides go for these days!

Yeah 34. Do we get to find out?

MooMooFarm · 17/03/2011 13:55

44

bibbitybobbityhat · 17/03/2011 13:56

MooMooFarm · 17/03/2011 13:56

oops sorry - just noticed some of the other posts and I've gone a bit high. You look lovely BTW, and I am rubbish at guessing ages!

And I think you are very brave for doing this thread!

kowloonmum · 17/03/2011 13:57

36

WhereTheWildThingsWere · 17/03/2011 13:59

Somewhere between 38 and 42.

TitsalinaBumSquash · 17/03/2011 14:02

mulberryless · 17/03/2011 16:08

mrsbumbledosem · 17/03/2011 17:28

38

HipHopopotomus · 17/03/2011 18:19

about 36

ArfurBrain · 17/03/2011 18:24

does it matter? Unless you look at least 10 years younger or older?
You look very bonny and healthy and happy and that'd be enough for me.

You look much younger than that OP!

I have the opposite problem, DH is 12 years older than me I think a lot of people think that we are closer in age.

mulberryless · 18/03/2011 09:14

Are you going to tell us then? Hope you are okay and we havn't upset you!!!!

NoWayNoHow · 18/03/2011 09:19

I think you look of a similar age to a lot of my friends, so 34-36?
Hope I've not insulted you!
BTW, you look very Smile

spiralqueen · 18/03/2011 22:24

Sorry - hadn't spotted there had been more guesses. I'm 45(DH is 34). No secrets - am completely useless at sticking to any kind of beauty regime. I've never smoked, rarely wear makeup, had DD at 44 (something of a surprise) so haven't had loads of sleep deprivation (until now anyway).

Thanks to everyone who said such lovely things - it's very kind of you. Blush

Pinkflipflop · 19/03/2011 08:11

I didn't look at any of the other replies!

You look very well in the picture and I would guess you to be around 38.

Am going now to check!!

happybubblebrain · 19/03/2011 08:20

I think you look my age - 38.

lilacisinlove · 19/03/2011 09:02

I thought about my age, 42. People say I don't look my age either (pic on profile for anyone who wants to check!)

sahminspain · 19/03/2011 09:43

I would have said around the 38 mark
