How old do you think I look?

CostaBlancaChica · 01/09/2021 20:11

I live abroad and have aged a bit over the last two/three years. Always looked really young for my age when I lived in the U.K., but have started to notice how I'm ageing a lot more around my eyes and 11 lines. DP thinks I have dysmorphia and it's all in my mind. I feel like I'm ready for a bit of Botox, as I've been feeling a lot less confident about my appearance. To settle the argument, please tell me how old you think I am. Both pics are without filter and one with just mascara, a bit of concealer to hide the dark shadows and eyebrow pencil. The bathroom one is before I had a shower, with just eyebrow pencil.

You have lovely clear skin and look gorgeous. I thought you were about 38.

Sorry missed the update

I was guessing 43, OP, and I then looked at your posts and saw I was right. Don't bother with the botox - you're fine as you are. I'd ditch the eyebrow pencil, though I know every woman on the planet apart from me bothers about their eyebrows.

Mid to late 30s

nomoneytreehere · 01/09/2021 22:13

Unless you have already had Botox about 35.

Derbee · 01/09/2021 22:14

These threads are always full of people who will say much older, just to make themselves feel better.

I’d guess 37-41

Nichebitch · 01/09/2021 22:17

Can’t believe people saying 46, you don’t look it at all!

annacondom · 01/09/2021 22:20

I was going to say mid-30s

Mid30smidlifecrisis · 01/09/2021 22:24

Your bone structure is so envy inspiring! I vote no to the Botox. You are blessed with excellent features, don't mess with that. If anything just play around with you current product/routine and change it up.

Nomorefuckstogive · 01/09/2021 22:25

I’ve just seen that you are almost 43. I was going to say 38-40, so you look younger than your actual age. Lovely skin, OP.

Alwaystheplusone · 01/09/2021 22:26

38

thinkfast · 01/09/2021 22:27

40?

Diverami · 01/09/2021 22:29

All I can see is one picture of a not very happy at the moment woman and on looking quite pleased. Please be happy and don't worry about looking a bit older or younger!

Bakethecakeeatthecake · 01/09/2021 22:29

You’ve got amazing skin. I was going to say 32-35.

doadeer · 01/09/2021 22:30

Early 40s you're very attractive. I think you look lovely and don't need any botox.

CoastalWave · 01/09/2021 22:32

Nichebiche People saying 46 are probably saying it because they're younger than that and think she looks older.

I've read the updates now so bit pointless my view as I'm incorrect. I was going to say 50, as I'm 47 and she looks older than I am (to me, in my eyes) . I asked the DH, he said 55. Shrugs.

Let's be honest, once most women get to 35 it all blurs after that for quite some time until 70 becomes an option!

MerryMarigold · 01/09/2021 22:32

I don't see any lines. You have amazing skin. You look a bit tired under the eyes and possiby a bit too skinny! (Hard to judge). I don't think Botox is going to help those things though.

I'm going with 37
