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.

Early 40s but possibly late 30s I'm 46 and you look younger than me with less wrinkles

BlueLu · 01/09/2021 20:41

Mid 40s

CostaBlancaChica · 01/09/2021 20:41

@amter

First photo 37, second photo 43.
You are correct...about the second pic. I'm 43, or will be in two weeks.

You are beautiful and have gorgeous features. You should be happy with your face!

I'd guess you're 40 from your post but the picture alone, 36? That's 5 years older than me and i'm starting to get a little wrinkle around the eyes. It's natural.

@CostaBlancaChica

I am a bit bored with these threads, as they come on once or twice a week now.....

But here goes...... 40 to 43!

The poster who said 58! PMSL!!! Grin Daft!

Wineandroses3 · 01/09/2021 20:42

About 37 . No way are you mid 40s.

Itsabeautifuldaytosavelives123 · 01/09/2021 20:42

42, and amazing with it, lovely skin

YorkiesForAll · 01/09/2021 20:43

@CostaBlancaChica Cross post!!! I said 40 to 43. Good guess from me. Grin

As I have said before, most people look their age, roughly, within 5 or 6 years in either direction...

In your early 40's.

You don't need botox. Without meaning to be rude, the eye brow to the right of the picture (your left eye brow) is way too short towards the nose - maybe it just the picture?

Mollythewally · 01/09/2021 20:44

I'm rubbish at this. You have very wise features and lovely dewy skin. You look lovely. That's all I've got, can't guess.

Well that’s me wrong then… I would have guessed you’d already had Botox from the shape of your eyebrows (see Victoria Beckham) and a little filler in your cupid's bow. Good on you though.

CostaBlancaChica · 01/09/2021 20:45

@Oblomov21

What's the point? Get the Botox. Or better still, don't. You seem obsessed.

You look fine. Please don't belittle body dysmorphia because it's serious and my closest friends ds had just announced he's trans.

Please don't make comments like that without knowing a person. I had a very toxic mother who told me I was ugly and fat my whole childhood and have struggled with very low self esteem about how I look my whole life. It's only got worse as I've started ageing, which is probably why I'm on MN asking this kind of stupid question and considering Botox, rather than feeling confident about myself as we all should.

I was about to say you look 43, and then I saw that you are 43, so I think you look exactly your age. I see no need for Botox.

Staffy1 · 01/09/2021 20:45

Not sure why anyone with no visible wrinkles or lines would want Botox or fillers.

Imagine telling a stranger their eyebrow is way too short whilst claiming you don't mean to be rude

No, I've considered it, but have never done it. I'm quite nervous about it going wrong tbh.

Ignore the "105 Brigade"

I studied pictures carefully. First one, I thought 33. Second, I thought 39.

I wish I looked like you..

I agree

I would bet my bottom dollar you had already had botox

Woo hoo pretty much spot on.

You look lovely and have a good face. You're not excessively ageing and absolutely do not need botox.
