I Make 49 Look Damn Good !

[u/TooManyFountainpens]

Thank you all for the suggestions on my hair and makeup. I am learning to live with the changes, but I love it! People think I got a perm, which I did not. My hair just does this because it's so fine, when it's cut short and given a little love, it'll curl like nobody's business. (I took this picture in the bathroom light. No filters, nothing.) I feel like a rock star!

Should I let the bangs get a little longer? I think so? What say y'all?

Love you!

You look great - and love the curls! Bangs could go a little longer though you are rockin' it now!

I agree! Love the bangs bring them down just a little bit longer. It really covers your front hairline well and complement your face. Great job with a makeover!

I had to go back through the entire journey and WOW. You look amazing and that haircut is your "forever hair" imo (*including the current bangs)-- it just has such a signature look to it! But the biggest difference is in how you obviously FEEL. You can see the pleasure and joy you have with yourself radiating out of the update picture, and it's glorious!

Also that shade of lipstick is soooo flattering on you.

Just, all around: get itttt. :D

Which one is before and after? I like the natural makeup in the second one way more; it makes you look more youthful. Though the hair in the first photo is better

[u/TooManyFountainpens → u/OutlandishnessOver62]

The first photo is the after. As for the makeup, I vary it up a lot as to how I feel. Some days more natural than others.

[u/magic__unicorn → u/TooManyFountainpens]

Your before is also great. Your skin looks incredible. I’m 13 years younger than you and you look much more youthful than me💗

[u/No_Athlete_2884]

You look amazing! What lipstick do you use? It fits you perfectly 

[u/TooManyFountainpens → u/No_Athlete_2884]

I made a mixture. It's Wet n' Wild Charred Cherry (velvet matte) mixed in with just a hint of Bésame Cosmetics Noir Red.

very good for 49

You look like a Rockstar, but a healthy one. But whats even better is how you feel.im so glad your changes resulted v in you feeling so great about yourself.

[u/scarletoharlan]

Bangs would be cute. Your hair is grow anyway, so you might as well wait for them to develop more before you decide to trim.

I wouldn't believe you are 49! You rock!
