Where have my lips gone?

Well, there is a plus side to all this.

At least we'll be using less lipstick.

They've gone to find my eyebrows! Gone are the days of having to get them tidied up; now I have to add some fine eyebrow pencil to help them show at all. They've not just gone grey they've thinned out to almost extinction. Funny the changes that occur when we get older of which we know nothing until they happen!!

The Duchess of Cambridge has virtually no top lip & she looks fine so no need to worry.

Lucky four, I’m like you. Lipstick and eyebrow pencil just for me. I truly believe my legs wouldn’t work without them.

At a class today (embroidery). For some weird reason the lack of eyebrows was brought up ( cuppa time). Quite a few of the over 60 girls had had their eyebrows tattooed on. Blade something?
All commented that it was “life changing “.

Not sure about lip plumping, but who knows. I once said that I’d NEVER dye my hair. Ha ha ha ha ha ha !

Filorga Nutri Lip Filler it’s a gloss like lipsalve. Buy in Debenhams or Amazon £22.00 lasts for a good while. It gives a little oomph to disappearing lips. I use it and love it, not invasive and it works.

Hilarious. Laughter is the best medicine!

Not funny really I know but can't help laughing at some of these comments.

Haha. Check your top lip for your eyebrows , that's where mine have landed. I now have no eyebrows and a moustache Framilode

Lucywinter you’ve got us having a go at whistling now. ?

My lips aren't as thin as I thought they were when I was younger but I've defiantly lost some of the pigment from my lower lip. I usually use a tinted lip balm if I'm not going anywhere that warrants lip stick but I do like to do my eyebrows.

I’m with you Betty18. I lost all the plumpness from my lips. Found a wonderful girl who does a very subtle job. So glad I plucked up the courage to have it done. I’ll definitely go back when I need to. ?

Gosh, it seems that lots of my body parts have either shifted ‘south’ or thinned out too. However, at least I don’t have to have my legs waxed now - a positive uptake of reaching a certain age. Keep smiling!

I find concentrating my face into a gentle smile helps avoid the grumpy, jowly look and widens my lips.

I had my sparse eyebrows microbladed nearly three years ago, best thing ever.
Yes it hurts as the clue is in the name: the therapist makes very fine cuts through the skin, first in one direction, then across, then back again.
Then a pigment is pressed in.
Mine didn't use anaesthetic as she said the colour doesn't absorb so well if the skin is numb.
You have to keep it dry and avoid swimming and saunas for ten days or so.
When I wanted to wash my hair I waterproofed my eyebrows with Vaseline and tipped my head well back under the shower. They didn't scab too badly at all.
You have to go back after a few weeks for a "top-up," which was basically the whole thing again.
I took ear plugs that time as while I could cope with the pain (kept telling myself you've given birth three times, you can do this) it was the sound of the blade that really set my teeth on edge!
It cost £275 and was worth every penny to me.

In my case, on my a$$ where every other thing seems to end up

My hygienist recommended using Sensodyne Rapid Relief toothpaste as my gums were a bit sore. After a while it had the effect of plumping up my lips, which I noticed every morning. I must have had a bit of an allergy to it so I stopped using it. The effect did not last all day however and was a bit uncomfortable on my gums. So, of course, it's not for everyone so I'm not actually recommending it - just saying.

I'm 65 and my lips started thinning over the last year or so. I have been using No7 firming booster serum twice daily on my lips, (it's not actually for lips but I like to think out of the box) it's taken a few months but I've had really good results. I should add I work for No7.

My lips disappeared years ago, but I still like to wear a bright red lipstick on what is left of them. I wouldn't feel I was me without that splash of colour.

Don’t be frightened to have a little filler, and I mean a little, what a difference! My friend has v thin lips and likes a natural look and her filler (not permanent) is perfect. I’ve had it too and love it (I follow her..)
rowanflower0 I have hardly any eyelashes to speak of but use a white primer, L’Oriel, it’s fantastic, also a mascara with fibres then a good mascara, voila, it’s magic.

I'm loving the comedy on here. lol
My lips aren't too bad. It's the jowls appearing that bothers me, and getting told to cheer up. I must look right miserable when I'm not.
I can't afford a face lift.

Is eyebrow tatooing painful. And is it very costly, and how long does it last for .
Questions , questions, questions

Lips just about OK but eyebrows disappearing.

Absolutely no lips whatsoever. They have completely disappeared. Don’t ask me where they have gone either as I’m not quite sure.

They used to be there years ago.

As a beauty therapist & dental nurse was married to a dentist.
Recession of gums , makes you long in the tooth.
Collagen & elastin reduces in your face & lips, as we age.
Only one solution pump back in . So no miracle except fillers.
Implants in the mouth to fill the cheeks again.
My eyebrows are fab since I had microblading.

I have the thin-lip problem too. My mouth isn't even symmetrical now, and lipstick just tends to accentuate this. Anyway, lipstick never stays in place for long, it comes off whenever I eat or drink (which is quite often) and I can't be bothered with it. I hate seeing women in a pub or restaurant reapplying their lipstick in public, in between courses.

My eyebrows (once enviably neat and shapely) are very sparse, but I draw them back on again every morning. I use Avon's Glimmerstick, a push-up pencil that is cheap, easy to apply and can be found on eBay.

I’d like to know where my DH’s bottom has gone! Use to be so rounded and cute! As for my post-menopausal face, enough said..
