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.

I do kind of agree with @TatianaBis lasted post though, I would never have the guts to put pictures online asking my age. I don't think if everyone told you that you look 24, you would be happy because of your body dismorphia. ❤

  1. I cannot believe all those saying you look forty, your skin is beautiful.
Starcar · 01/09/2021 23:06

Don’t understand the responses here I’d say early 30s at most. Your skin is luminous and you have cracking bone structure.

Old enough to know better.”

Guessing you look a bit pinched, Tatiana.

Why the need to be nasty to a (beautiful) stranger with self-confidence issues?
Eh? Nothing nasty about that. It was a wry comment.

Rather ironic coming from someone insulting my appearance.

Anyone over 17 should know better than to ask the internet for comments on their appearance.“

It wasn’t wry, it was unnecessarily spiteful.

TatianaBis · 01/09/2021 23:12

It wasn’t wry, it was unnecessarily spiteful.

Sorry, who are you?

It wasn’t even remotely spiteful. If you don’t get my dry humour that’s fine, but don’t tell a completely stranger what they meant.

StoatMilk · 01/09/2021 23:15

47?

Dont do botox you look great

Curlyshabtree · 01/09/2021 23:20

catfunk · 01/09/2021 23:24

40-45.... and very pretty x

MinnieJackson · 01/09/2021 23:24

What does 'looking a bit pinched' mean?

TableFlowerss · 01/09/2021 23:25

I’ve see. That you are 43 OP but I’d have said mid 30’s. You have great skin and radio and lines. You certainly don’t look your age and I genuinely don’t think you need it just yet.

I think those in their late 20’s, early 30’s getting Botox etc will live to regret it as I think it ages people in the long run. In your 40’s I can understand as that’s when nature really does start being unkind but not 20’s etc…

TableFlowerss · 01/09/2021 23:25

hardly any lines

vera99 · 01/09/2021 23:26

Deliberately haven't read the thread I'll say 36.

MoreSpaghetti · 01/09/2021 23:28

Early to mid 30’s.

NatashaRf · 01/09/2021 23:31

I'd say 42-44 ish.

notthemum · 01/09/2021 23:34

Had just made up my mind to put in my guess when I noticed that you had told us.
So, sorry for being late to the party, have some 💐 and 🍷 instead.

Okay, if you say so.

You think “wry”, I think spiteful.

(In answer to your “who are you?”, I’m a gorgeous older lady who can appreciate a gorgeous younger lady when I see one)

SarahJinx · 01/09/2021 23:35

Probably not saying this brilliantly, big you have great skin, love S of plumpness around your mouth and cheeks which makes me think you are younger than you look, I’m going 35 - 38 big your look is ageing and I don’t know why. I think you’re stunning by the way.

Scbchl · 01/09/2021 23:40

39-42

TatianaBis · 01/09/2021 23:41

@Skylar I’ve no idea what you’re on about but you seem very defensive about appearance.

AtomHeartMotherOfGod · 01/09/2021 23:42

Wow - I really don't think mid or late 40s. That is what I am - I have good skin and am not as smooth as OP.

I'd guess around 34-36.

Try not to get Botox; you look great and I think you will age gracefully.

MargaretMorris · 01/09/2021 23:42

43

LadyC43 · 01/09/2021 23:43

50,_55 My daughter is 55,and looks similar age

AtomHeartMotherOfGod · 01/09/2021 23:44

Sorry I'd swear this looked to only have a few posts... just ignore me. If you are 43 people are right; you look much younger.

MissDollyMix · 01/09/2021 23:47

I guessed mid thirties. You look younger than me and I’m later thirties. You’re gorgeous! Don’t listen to those who say otherwise. I don’t think you need to have any work done.

MrsSkylerWhite · 01/09/2021 23:47

Not in the least, Tatiana. Really couldn’t give a monkey’s how I look and make no effort. Others tell me I look good.

I think the OP is lovely and just don’t understand why people would say nasty things about (beautiful) strangers 🤷‍♀️
