If you like your reflection in the mirror, then focus on that and remember that you look good. Next time you have to zoom, look at yourself in your camera beforehand in the position you'll be sitting and play with the lighting in your room. Also try different colors of tops to see which looks best on camera. Choose your background carefully or make sure the wall behind you is plain. Finally, minimize or hide your zoom face from yourself. Carry that in the mirror confidence with you wherever you are. That's what people notice. No one is thinking the things you said about yourself but you.


This is wonderful advice.

Turtlenecks are a quick solution to having to look at your neck on Zoom.

60 is old. Get a facelift.

No one looks good on zoom. Don’t worry about it.

Make an appointment with a dermatologist if you are really feeling sad to see what your options are.

My favorite view of myself is without my glasses - it's like I have a built in filter and looking really airbrushed. I can imagine I'm still 30ish.

Use the filter, you’ll be much happier!

What you see in the mirror is generally much more accurate than anything with a lens.

On 57 and I’m noticing it around my eyes. For me it’s not crow’s feet but my eyes aren’t open in pictures anymore. I do have a droop in one eye. It isn’t anything neurological. I’m going to have it checked out, I don’t think it is interfering with my vision yet but if it is, I think I can get an upper bleph covered. There is a true noticeable difference in about 3 years

You could go in and ask your doctor for a Kris Jenner facelift.

And FYI, some people look younger with a little meat on their bones.
