Indulge me...how old do I look?

Trying out a new skincare regime. Husband says he’s not sure. Kids are a bit wary of me recently.

But tell me; how do I look? Should I continue with the skin stuff and should I do something different with my hair? My mum always tried to straighten my curls? Maybe a keratin straight perm might me good?

I dunno. I’m in a style rut.

I'm no good at guessing ages. I mean this kindly but I think you might benefit from a professional make up lesson to help with your mascara application and perhaps a foundation colour match?

37? Rude!

God- maybe I need to try some more potions!

I’m going to be brutally honest and say that you look like a right grotbag.

I’d say more but gotta go, there’s somebody at the door.

  1. Top tip! You need a steadier hand with your eyebrow pencil.

How do we even know it is you in that photo? People can just lift images, we have no way of verifying and ofc we should always remember the mantra "not everyone is who they say they are on the internet".

agree with pp that you look like a grotbag

Atalune · 19/04/2021 10:06

Omg! Jealous much?

Ok- here is a picture of me when I was younger

OP - have you thought about getting your colours done?

Itsallhere · 19/04/2021 10:10

Op I think you look lovely, don’t change a thing Wink

DenisetheMenace · 19/04/2021 10:12

Maybe try blue? Green is SO last season.

  1. I think you're stunning. There's a slight asymmetry in your eyebrows. Balance out the eyebrows and you would be perfection itself. And if the pigmentation bothers you, some IPL would help, but really to me it looks good. Rock on.

Your face is round. You think that helps?!

Properly snorted at ‘there’s somebody at the door’ Grin

Op, I think it’s time just to accept the aging process and be yourself. You look good. Perhaps a few highlights might help your complexion.

For goodness sake eyebrows are meant to be sisters NOT twins. Stop asymmetrical eyebrow shaming ffs

SnowAllSpring · 19/04/2021 11:36

OMG OP just ignore all the snide comments from all the jealous bitchy bitter posters here you dont look a day over 18 hun and bmi is bullshit dint u know that kate moss was acshlly obese by bmi when she was in them calvin kline ads

EllaPaella · 19/04/2021 11:48

The perm is very ageing to be honest. Eyebrows are on point though 👌
I'm going with 42?

Now is the moment OP for you to start arguing with every poster on the thread.

Don't forget to say that you have lots of confidence and self esteem, which is why you are posting pictures of your beautiful face.

LookToTreblesGoingTreblesGone · 19/04/2021 12:59

I think you've maybe taken the green tinted foundation a little too far? Is it to correct some natural rosiness?
Age? 45?

idontlikealdi · 19/04/2021 13:17

You might want to ease up on the colour corrector...12

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 19/04/2021 13:35

I think your hair is ageing you - could you try the "curly girl" method, maybe? I like that you are not afraid to be bold with colour, but maybe try a StitchFix box for some ideas. Do you want my referral link?

You do you, hun, don't listen to any of the vipers here, they are just bitter and jealous. You look timeless.

5128gap · 19/04/2021 14:00

Well I'm going to say late at least 15 years older than anyone could possibly think you are, because I have an age too, and you look much older than me. Also your face is fat which makes you look younger, but also older, as does a face that is thin, and having a face at all.
I don't really understand what you're hoping to get from this anyway OP. Are you so insecure you need the validation of strangers? Theres nothing wrong with looking 75 at 21. Such an ageist thread.
Truly Vile.
