How old do you think I look?

[CostaBlancaChica]

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.

Botox often doesn't make people look younger, they look the same but with botox

I found it difficult to tell your age as you have absolutely no forehead wrinkles (which is pretty unusual for 40s!).

I think skip the Botox as it’s really not good for you and you don’t need it. Being totally honest, although you already look nice just as you are, you would likely look younger if you were to put on a little weight and use a more volumising hair product.

Also, I'm not thin. I'm 5'4 and 8 stone 12, which is a pretty normal weight for my height. I think faces just look thinner as you get older.

CostaBlancaChia do some research into the motherwound- some great stuff on youtube, especially Bethany webster.
It really is possible to dump all the judgement and be happy in your skin.

Why do you care what a bunch of random people on the internet think of your appearance or how old you look?
How do you feel about yourself? Strong? Happy? Energetic? Calm?

I thought you looked 35ish Op, you don’t look your age, you look fantastic! I wouldn’t get Botox if I were you.

Your skin is so unlined it looks as if you had Botox already :)

I'd say you are anywhere from late 30s to mid 40s.

You look much older in the second picture I reckon. I'm going with 44

Mid-forties. You’ve lovely skin and beautiful bone-structure. You probably won’t look very much different in 20 years.

You look great -
Don't age your future by messing with your face now - you look about your age, a bit younger perhaps - just enjoy your life in your 40's and have fun.

You are lovely for your age.

Have you thought about a light fringe?

You have a very high forehead and it would soften your face a little (and block the UV rays!) if you had a wispy fringe, but only IMO.

I would have said the same age as me- 44. On a good day I look 36/7, as you do in the first pic. On not such a day I look my age. But that’s fine. I’m happy with how I look.

I find it really sad that you’ve posted these pictures looking for compliments while also having these huge insecurities and your toxic mother comments looming large. It’s not good. It’s poor mental healthcare. Instead of shelling put ££ on fillers perhaps consider some therapy.

Beauty begins within.

All these guesses of mid to late forties, really?? She has absolutely no lines and amazing skin, why would you think late 40s?!!
I guess early to mid 30s.

I don't see any wrinkles on you. I think maybe about 36 🤷🏻‍♀️

37? You look fab and you have amazing skin

34

Is say anywhere between 40 and 45. You have great skin and really don't need Botox.

The problem is how I feel about how I look. I came here to gauge opinion as DP thinks I have a problem with my confidence. In myself (as a person) I feel better than I did when I was younger, but am definitely struggling with hormones and moods more in the last year or so.

My age but better skin 44? Maybe 41. Hard to tell but very beautiful

I was gonna say 38 first pic
Bit older second one.
Look good
However I dont know how you feel
Agree to who said botox doesnt make you look younger really.
Makes you look fresher though.
I have botox
It's not whether you need it, its whether you want it.
I've never seen seen anyone in RL and thought they need it.

@SwearyMaclary

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.

I agree, as soon as I saw OP’s picture I thought she had botox as she has no wrinkles or 11’s that I can see from the pictures which, it’s that tight skin shiny look a bit like Nicole Kidman. If you really don’t have botox OP then don’t have it as it will look awful on an already tight forehead.

Late 40s

A good 40ish, but lower 40s

42

You look about your age and I say that kindly I am 44 and been told for years I look younger than my age until I hit 40. Then I think it just creeps up on you the lines and for me it's my hair it's so thin. I have started having my eyebrows done and eyelashes tinted which I would never have considered before for a little boost....botox for me is a no as I look at pictures of celebs with their frozen faces and it freaks me out a bit.

Oh snd you do not need anything yet. Wait until you really do then decide.
I have Botox for 11s but mine were really deep thanks to teaching and having a cross face sometimes 😂
