You ladies realize Botox is botulinum neurotoxin, right? |
Lol. What are you a beautician at a salon hawking Botox muscle relaxing in one’s face? And you think people can’t tell? Maybe if your clientele is 30 and under people won’t assume anything. |
Or maybe they actually find women without makeup attractive. |
It's just not a big deal. |
My boobs look totally deflated after nursing for four years cumulatively. I don’t regret it but would like my old body back. DH is against it. Not sure what I’ll do.
I’d also probably like a facelift around age 55, DH is also against that. Oh well. |
My husband really dislikes makeup. I mean, that works out fine for me, because I rarely wear it. On the rare occasion when I, like, lightly apply mascara and lipstick, he's like, "You know I think you look great without make-up!" And I'm like, yeah, but if I feel like a little mascara I'm going to go for it . . . He regularly talks about women who have full make-up and how bad he thinks it looks. I don't know if he was chased by a clown as a child or what, but he just really really doesn't like any sort of makeup. He also really likes my perky, size A boobs. The point is, different strokes for different folks. There's no way I am ever going to implant some unnecessary prosthesis in my chest just so I can be more uncomfortable sleeping and exercising, with the risk of rejection or infection and the need to replace it every decade. Even if I didn't like my boobs, which I do, that would just never be worth it to me. Thankfully I don't need to attract the attention of every man in the world . . . one will do just fine. |
If they find out they are going to tell the church! |
Most don’t. If you go somewhere with a lot of Gen Z employees you can immediately see the difference. Those without makeup don’t look good, those with the “no makeup makeup” look stunning, but unless you know what that makeup looks like, they look like they have no makeup/minimal makeup. I was chatting with one the other day about her makeup and she said it takes her about an hour to do, even though it looks like all she has on is a bit of blush, mascara, and lip gloss. It’s more about the foundation, contouring, and highlighting to make their skin flawless and face look like a different face. |
Seriously. Men are so funny. I’ve been doing Botox since I was 30 and you would think I am much too down-to-earth for all that if you met me. |
Probably we would not think that if you’re describing yourself like this |
Most men have no idea they just see bad plastic surgery. All of the every attractive celebrities, wealthy people and porn stars have had it and not just Botox |
+1. To be fair a lot of injectors are pretty awful. I’ve been through my share of injectors who themselves looked like Muppets. But my current injector is a godsend. She’s 40 and seriously could pass for 22. Nothing about her looks fake, she just looks young and fresh-faced. She doesn’t follow the trends of overfilling faces to make them look like completely different faces, she uses filler and neurotoxins to make people look like themselves but better. |
Just call it something else and get it done when you want it. I get Botox and fillers. I tell my husband I’m going for “skincare stuff” or “a dermatologist thing.” They don’t really pick up on that stuff unless it’s very very obvious. BTW: If you still have plenty of breast tissue and are just deflated, you can get a lift. If you are left with flat, empty boobs like me, you’ll likely need implants. I have a small frame and I want the low profile ones. 55 is a great age for a face lift for many people. Before then, the issue is more about lost volume. |
I’m a mom at preschool pickup in leggings and a baseball cap most days. My purse is a backpack. Subtle Botox is popular and not something you notice, and not about being a certain type of woman. |
I tend to think she is vain and unintelligent. |
