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?

Ok I’ve contoured my nose, had my eyebrows threaded, used a Babyliss Big hair for more volume and am wearing a bit of blusher but I’m still not sure if I’ve got it right.

You are aging well Grin

I feel there’s a slight facial resemblance to Clint Eastwood now? That’s definitely a positive.

On the first one I was going to a recommend a non-surgical nose job.

Have you had a sneaky nefertiti face lift? You look much fresher.

You've had too much work done now OP, go back to basics and just drink a bucket of water a day, sort you right out.

Palominoo · 09/04/2019 14:58

Ok what do we think about the hair extensions, fillers and micro blading in my upper lip and chin?

I’m getting there arent I?

Yes, a bit of work still to do, but cutting the fringe in was an act of genius.

Crunched · 09/04/2019 15:03

TBH my DH prefers the natural look but you look great hun FlowersCake

InsertFunnyUsername · 09/04/2019 15:08

You've took ten years off overnight well done, not a day older than 18 is my guess. Such kind eyes xxxx

Connieston · 09/04/2019 15:13

The fringe is perfection! I wish I was brave enough to go for something edgy like that.

If you want to reduce the flyaway ends try running through a hair serum before you blow-dry.

Thebatmother · 09/04/2019 15:16

Just stop. Stop right now. You need a psychiatrist not more costly and invasive procedures. You don’t have to conform to what society expects us to uphold. You were absolutely fine to begin with. Try to be more body positive. Focus on health and happiness instead of spending time modifying your face in ever more ridiculous ways. It’s rare that I’m this blunt but try to remember that The Bride Of Wildenstein once looked human before she embarked on the roller coaster of cosmetic surgery. I think you may have gone past the point of no return already to be honest but please get some help before it’s too late.

Thebatmother · 09/04/2019 15:18

Btw that fringe isn’t edgy. It looks like it’s been hacked off by a partially sighted ape with a pair of garden shears.

Clint Eastwood!! Genius🤣

notatwork · 09/04/2019 15:20

You are gorgeous. 26?

Perhaps consider a side parting? In the second photo your hair is slightly Donald Trumpy (though much shinier and a lovely colour).

And consider waxing your proboscis. I applaud the natural look but it isn't in fashion at the moment.

ImperfectTents · 09/04/2019 15:23

Loving the pop of colour in your mouth.

Thebatmother · 09/04/2019 15:32

I seem to be the lone voice that thinks you looked younger before you started messing 🤷🏽‍♀️

GraceMarks · 09/04/2019 15:34

You could look great, but your terrible posture is working against you. Stop hunching your shoulders like that! You'll end up with a dowager's hump.

RosaWaiting · 09/04/2019 15:38

this doesn't look like the face of a woman "living her best life".

Thebatmother · 09/04/2019 15:42

Rosa exactly my thoughts.

GraceMarks · 09/04/2019 15:49

Would you consider a spray tan, a brow lift, and going more for a pixie crop? I think extensions can be quite ageing and a shorter, more natural do is much fresher.

How did I miss this. I am so sorry I didn't get here in time as I was going to say whatever you do don't let anyone talk you into a nose job. Too late, you did it and look what happened, you ended up being compared to Clint Eastwood and he's in his 80s, not the effect you were after I'm guessing.

However, all was not lost as in the 3rd photos a la Farah Fawcett you have totally nailed it, apart from the eyebrows, they need an upward tilt.

Then I read on and saw how you ended up and while you do now look quite cute it's not really you, is it love?

slinkysaluki · 09/04/2019 16:56

Hahahahaha

NowIKnowHowJoanFelt · 09/04/2019 16:56

Younger than me. I hate you.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 09/04/2019 18:02

Gawjus hun, ignore the haterz.

You don't look a day over 88.
