About 4 years ago I had a luncheon where Halle Berry was in attendance. She looks gorgeous and younger than her age for sure but maybe only by 4/5 years. That taught me that no one else really looks 10 years younger. In pictures these celebrities do but up close at a luncheon with daytime sunshine she looked close to her age, very beautiful, but not 39. So that’s my little life lesson to pass along to you all, I doubt Jane down the street is 16 years older than she looks.

He looks like a lot of facial tweaking has already happened. These people are going to look like freaks as they age.

The actress who plays Ginny is at least 24 in this pic but looks much younger

Mmm no that looks right to me. Of course they’re trying to do hair/makeup/costume to play younger, but she doesn’t look like a teen really.

Look at that guy ( on the left) he looks like a 20/22 years old he is almost 37.

I would like someone to make a chart of someone from age 0-50 with photos from each year

Have you considered that you are not very good at identifying marks of aging on non white people? They exist.

I kind of thought Stevie on Schitts Creek looked really young when I watched it but after googling a pic I think she looks late 30s

Great list. I have a fit friend who is tiny - under 5 feet with full cheeks, and she’s been mistaken for my daughter when in dim lighting.

The key here is dim lighting . . .

Is Ginny the one in the middle or on the right? If Ginny is on the right then I will give it to you -- she looks like a minor, not a 24YO! If the one in the middle, then she easily passes for 24 (but if I learned she was 20, I would believe that too,s he could pass for either).

The one on the right

+1. Lots of wishful thinking on this thread.

What are these “tells”? How would you tell a 40 y/o from a 35 y/o or a 45 y/o?

skin. hands. fat distribution as a start.

What the? Are you looking for liver spots on a 35 or 45 yr old?!

The skin on hands change well before you get to liver spots. Start looking, you will see it. Most people do not put skin screen or enough moisturizer on their hands.

Also eyebrows are telling both in style and fullness.

That's weird. Unless they're drinking why ask for id? And you're always supposed to ask for id. I was told by a bartender I couldn't be in the bar area because minors weren't allowed.

That's untrue. If overweight then you have a womanly body along with a gut that ages you

Black women tend to look younger no matter if they’re thin or overweight.
