How do you feel about this statement?

Question

"Nature gives you the face you have at 20. It is up to you to merit the face you have at 50." ---Coco Chanel.

Answer 1

That's surprisingly profound for a P&S question. I've only made it to 27, but I see the point. How you live your life shows on your face. If you abuse yourself, you look haggard. If you are miserable, you have lines dragging downward. If you're a happy Vegemite, you'll have smile lines which tell the world exactly what you are. Guess which one I am. :)

Answer 2

Nature gives you the face you have at BIRTH, not 20.
As your life progresses, you have more and more
effect on its appearance.

It isn't a bright line - that line is overgeneralizing
for the sake of the makeup market.

Answer 3

That's so true.....so watch what you do with your body between the ages of 20 and 50.

Answer 4

I agree...hardships and sorrows age a face, so do some other factors, if the way you look at life changes so does your face, I like to think wrinkles don't mean you are old but wise.

Answer 5

I'm not sure, I feel that nature should be nice and let me keep the one at 20, but nature is not nice at all.

Answer 6

so true, there is botox and other stuff that you can do to make you look 30 when you are 50

Answer 7

if coco chanel said it then its cool. shes awesome!

Answer 8

That is on the wall at the coffee shoppe I frequent.

I earned every one of these wrinkles, dammit.

Answer 9

Yes with good care of your body......one can look younger than the stated age!!!

Answer 10

I like it and agree with it. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! And don't forget to take off that makeup before going to bed!
