You might like it, but let's at least agree she is still doing it. That nonsense about it only being in old photos is just incorrect.

It's the Middleton Woman Eyeliner TM. They all do it for almost every outing. I think they learned it at some Estee Lauder counter in 1999 and it's been a daily look since. It works for none of them, at any age.

Isn’t it tattooed? They’ll have it forever.

How mean spirited! She looks lovely and from all accounts is a wonderful human. She doesn't deserve to be dragged here.

Same here.

Chime in! Tell us your advice for non-white women. But you won't. Because you're most definitely a virtue-signaling, white woman who feels a need to insert a race based complaint into every situation.

I'm good with not looking like an extra from a "Hunger Games" movie.

I think that woman looks gorgeous and find it interesting -- but not surprising -- that "how can I look as drab and dry as possible DCUM" is throwing rocks at her.

We know. It's because your conformity type is I'm Not Like Other GirlsTM.

Seems appropriate here. She looks flawless

True. The mask helps.

You are just as ugly on the inside after that remark.

NP. Get over yourself. She looks ugly and old. PP just expressed it in a nicer way.

It's extremely weird to me that this thread contains photos of exactly two women (a stock model and Kate Middleton, lol), those women have diametrically opposed looks, and they are both being trashed as making mistakes. Like what is the point of this?

The woman with the pink hair is gorgeous. It may not be the look for you, but you can't deny she's a beautiful woman who looks vibrant and attractive. I have rocked both pink and purple hair on occasion in my 40s and it's fun. I don't think it's my ideal look and I wouldn't wear it to my own wedding or something, but I'm glad I experimented with it because life is short and why not stay entertained?

And Kate Middleton is also very pretty. I personally would not make many of the same hair, makeup, or wardrobe choices. But then, I'm not and would not want to be the Duchess of Cambridge, I make exactly zero public appearances, and I'm not British or preppy or even a mother of three. It's not surprising that she's not my style icon. But I would never say she looks "haggard" or ugly because that would be silly.

I think the biggest beauty mistake women over 40 commonly make is continuing to try hard to conform with societal expectations of what women are supposed to look like, when it should be clear to all women by the age of 40 that those expectations are contradictory BS constructed by men, the beauty industry, and bitter other women to make us feel bad.

I also think it's smart to invest in your teeth -- get some Invisalign for any middle aged shifting, whiten a bit, and make sure you are taking good care of them.

Ummmm.....black, brown, Asian, bi-racial women can wear too much make-up, not just white woman. Actually, women of all colors/races can wear too much make-up. Same with hair, outdated hair styles aren’t color/race specific. Nor or outfits. The last time I checked Botox and other cosmetic procedures aren't race specific either.

I would have to disagree there. Black and hispanic women are not getting Botox and fillers in any significant numbers unless they are celebrities. Our skin doesn't age as fast and it's just not something we worry about.

PP here. I agree with you, black and Hispanic women probably aren’t getting Botox and fillers, because they have great skin & don’t age as fast. But, that’s not to say they can’t. It’s not something that just white women do. They just may start it earlier, do it more, etc than other races/ethnicities.

Sorry, wrong. I work at a dermatology practice. We see people of all colors for Botox and related procedures.
Botox is only noticeable when it’s done poorly.

[b]Running wrecks your skin worse than the sun. I don't get why women do it,

Wait, why is running itself bad for skin (aside from the sun damage from being outside)?


There is a misconception (yes, a misconception) that running bounces you and is rough on the skin - causing it to sag, etc. You will hear this from people all the time. In reality it is the sun damage (any exposure to sun over periods of time damage your skin regardless of sunscreen) and usually runners tend to be thin. It is the dilemma of your face or your ass, which do you want to look good.

In reality if you are lighter and once in your 40s you will age. Your skin will sag and you will lose the volume in your face. People will say botox helps (it helps with forehead lines and the v that appears between the lines) but that is about it. Lines and creases can be helped with fillers - but it is usually short lived (18 months) and makes the face look puffy and fat. You can do threading in the face, which will also give you a few years of a better look and is similar to a facelift in that it will take off years.

For most women aging isn't that big of a deal. But if you are switching companies and trying to get positions it can be, and most professionals end up doing mini facelifts and threading to appear younger.

Sunscreen is the most important thing to help. But the issue is that you should have been doing that in the 20s to prevent that aging in the 40s. Wearing sunscreen now (40s) is to prevent aging in the 60s.

Mostly it’s overdoing things like lip injections, Botox, cheek implants etc.

I think a lot of ppl have too long hair right now because of Covid concerns re going to the salon.

Np. You sound deranged. Why do you hate her so much? Whether or not you love her style/would wear it is one thing, but 9/10 if not 10/10 women can recognize she is prettier than average and styles herself appropriately for her role on most accounts.

I have never understood the "apple cheek implants = youth" theory. I've seen many naturally beautiful celebs get (what seems to me) to be too large implants in their cheeks and I don't think it makes them look younger--it makes them look more like that madame puppet.
