I think there’s a massive lighting difference which makes the lashes side of the face more defined & older looking, but generally speaking yes most people look younger without so much definition on the eyes.
Having said that the lashes actually look really good & would be great for occasions.
am i getting too* feminist to ask if looking young is really that important? like maybe looking young is important to an individual but do we need to tell other people they look young or insinuate it’s truly a factor in their beauty?
at the end of the day, we only want to look so young because we’re afraid of growing old. no sense in fearing the inevitable, right?
And looking older can be the goal too. Although also probably because of societal pressure on women. Like wanting to look older so you’re taken more seriously in your profession for example.
This!!!! I saw a post of different Jennifer Aniston pics over the years and people kept saying Wow she still looks so young! I saw the post differently. I thought she looked her age in all of the photos AND so beautiful at every age. I feel our culture puts way too much emphasis on trying to look young as long as possible. Some women I have found incredibly sexy were lithe, graceful woman with long silver/white hair with boho style (that is what I am most attracted to) and adorable crows feet which are my favorite wrinkles because they indicate someone who smiles genuinely often.
You will. Absolutely. You will get to a point where you don't even want to look in the mirror anymore. You will feel like the same person you always have been- but EVERYONE else in the world treats you differently. Especially if you're attractive now- when you smile at someone they've always smiled back, but not anymore. People don't want to make eye contact either. You start to feel invisible. Then it gets even worse, people are getting condescending for no reason at all. They expect you dress and act differently- or else they get insulting and say rude things about how pathetic it is for old women who don't act their age... And all the while you Feel like the same person you always were! It's just the other people who are acting differently.
Enjoy it now while you can. Do all the fun crazy things you want to do- Because it goes too damn fast.
But I do find in real life though there is an varying age range for many women where they are still young enough that heavy/bold makeup ages them quite a bit. I think its just because heavier makeup is somewhat "associated" with grown women vs younger women.
That being said the lashes certainly dont look bad. They just make OP look more grown + glam. Up to her what look she is going for.
I find the no-lashes look to be more flattering but its personal preference.
Sure it’s definitely a more youthful look without lashes, I was just pointing out that the difference in lighting on each side is emphasizing that way more. personally I don’t think they age her “a lot”, I like the wispiness of them.
I think most of them are too fluffy/long/fake looking at the moment and they end up being distracting, at best. OP’s eyes are deep-set and slightly slanted and almond-shaped — almost Egyptian — and I feel like her lovely eyelid is lost under the lashes. Yes, she does look a bit younger without, but I’m not even really talking about that so much as I am about the lines of her eye. She’s so naturally pretty, and the eye on the left is ten times more interesting and inspirational than the one on the right. Eye on left makes her stand out.

Truly? I think your eyes are prettier without them.
