How old do I look and how can I look better?

Ok first off that’s not my natural hair colour. I use Nice and Easy Honey Blonde and Sun In to get a sun kissed look.

In these photos I’m not wearing make up as such, just a bit of concealer under the eyes, a bb cream and a lip balm.

I feel that I should start contouring, what do you think?

Jeez, wax much, hun?!

Jaguarana · 09/04/2019 01:42

I think you'll look much better after a good night's sleep.

NiteWotcha · 09/04/2019 01:45

Do you drink 30 liters of water a day? Makes a real diff

Maybe try a side parting and get your eyebrows threaded?!

Crunched · 09/04/2019 01:46

87 and 3 months?Flowers
But you have really kind eyes HTH

littlecabbage · 09/04/2019 01:46

Loving your eyebrows. Where do you get them done?

Zoflorabore · 09/04/2019 01:49

I would say early twenties op ;)

You do need to sort your brows out though, would really open up your face and take a few years off maybe.

Other than that- you look fab.

Zoflorabore · 09/04/2019 01:51

Ps- If I'm being brutally honest ( and I expect you hope us to ) then the second picture is slightly disturbing me.
Your nose looks like my ex's penis. Can't see past that.

Maybe a bit more contouring would be good.

I refuse to engage

You won't come back

Hazeintheclouds · 09/04/2019 10:27

You have got a kind face but I think you need to grow your hair a bit to frame it. What about getting some subtle layering done - but whatever you do avoid a mummsy bob. Good luck! Flowers

Connieston · 09/04/2019 10:30

I think you'd rock a red lip and a high pony.

GraceMarks · 09/04/2019 10:33

Knees and decolletage are always a dead giveaway when it comes to age. As you've left those out of the picture, I wouldn't like to hazard a guess.

ElizabethMainwaring · 09/04/2019 10:35

You look lovely op. Did you meet your husband on a swingers site?

OoohAyyye · 09/04/2019 10:39

Check YouTube for videos on how to contour your nose.

Dab some pale eyeshadow in the inner of your eyes to give the illusion of bigger eyes. False lashes might help.

I love you hair colour btw.

P.s. this made me laugh OP Grin

hazeyjane · 09/04/2019 10:43

Do you 'do' your eyebrows? That is always the biggest giveaway.

hazeyjane · 09/04/2019 10:44

...oh and definitely get your colours done.

BlueCornishPixie · 09/04/2019 10:46

I would say late 90s.

You have a lovely face, but aren't making the most of it

Elzbells · 09/04/2019 10:49

I really hate it when people like you come in here with your drop dead gorgeous photos and make the rest of us ugly old hags look worse.

ReginaGeorgeous · 09/04/2019 11:43

Try derma planing?

WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles · 09/04/2019 11:52

Why do women feel the need to change their appearance to conform to society's "standards?" I wear an old fleece and dog walking wellies everywhere I go, even to black tie balls. You should work on your self esteem, not your appearance. Beauty comes from within. HTH.

Ellapaella · 09/04/2019 13:25

You have a very 'interesting' face OP.

Calloway · 09/04/2019 13:27

Proboscis monkeys are the absolute cutest! You're perfect just as you are.

Knittedfairies · 09/04/2019 13:31

You could try smiling a bit more OP...

Grin she did (eventually) come back but didnt acknowledge any of the comments and simply said she ‘forgot.’. Aye, right.

Happyspud · 09/04/2019 13:35

I’m sure you don’t look as bad as you think but if you implement a strict beauty regime, spend an hour in front of the mirror every day and get your teeth fixed you’d look better.

HTH.
