I am an OAP and happy to be so, I like my laughter lines and wrinkles....why are women always persuaded that looking like  caricatures of themselves is beautiful...looking natural and normal is far more beautiful imo.

Laughter lines and wrinkles are OK, but what about sagging, turkey necks, and skanky hair? Some ladies have a problem with those things as they get old. Anyway, it's only a bit of fun.

It may be a bit of fun, but I still think its a pity some women are persuaded to believe that youth is all.
The before pics are made to look as unflattering as possible, a smile would have lifted those jowls and brought a sparkle to the eyes, and hair can look nice whatever age you are.

Airbrush her face and you are hiding the true you, no matter what age you are.

Hair can start thinning though. You have tons of hair so yours always looks nice.

My hair is thick and curly and the bane of my life...I would swap for glossy pecan locks any day.

She has no jowls! That's the difference.

Because she is smiling, but even if she did have jowls she would still look lovely:NoseSnob:

Tbh Syl, you wouldn't need this as you don't look your age and look glam as it is.  Some others need help.

I'd do it, be fun lol.

No she wouldn't. Jowls are awful and even a smile can't lift them.

OK, jowls are not the most attractive facial feature, but if you have em make the most of them....some people have a naturally glum expression, maybe that's why they form in the first place.
To be honest, I see older men with jowls a lot more than older women.

How do you make the most of jowls? They're just there.

I dunno about glossy.

I've never had glossy hair.   My hair is thick and coarse and when I was younger I had to thin it out and I got sick of people saying I looked like Kate Bush!.   I don't have less hair now, but the hair follicles are thinner so it's less bulky.

Everyone needs a bit of help Mags, that's why women wear make up and colour their hair....but they still look like themselves.

Would you do it ? God, I could think of nothing worse than being trussed up like that, it takes me all my time to keep a bra on when I'm at home.
