Ageism is so bad on TikTok especially. The younger generations seem to not be thinking of the fact they to will age. Women my age (52) get so many mean comments about being old. We are not old!!!! I feel like I’m at the peak of my life to be honest. We still work, have fun, we are rediscovering ourselves as empty nesters. Who cares if we have more wrinkles - I don’t! Yes I miss the skin, hair and body of my 20’s but I wouldn’t change what I feel emotionally, spiritually for any of it. I really appreciate all these videos you do Stephanie :)
You're definitely on the older side of life and youth, and that's ok. Were you thinking that 50yo women were old when you were 20? Of course we all did, It has always been the case, and if you go on an app dominated by gen z, well obviously they will make this kind of comment, let's be realistic.
I only used one once. Cause I was curious to see what I MAY look like when I'm 60/70/80 or whatever. Wasn't interesting enough to actually take a photo and post it though
@@guillaumem9953Seriously. My mom died a few years ago and now any time my Dad disses getting old, I can’t help thinking, “Man, well… it beats the alternative.” Mom would love to be too busy and have creaky knees. We’re lucky to be here, given how delicate the human body is.
Lol you're looking at it from a different angle. The surprise and jumpscare comes from the fact that she looks so different in the before and after not just because she looks old in the before
Amen! I’m almost 59 and I am a jump scare! There aren’t enough filters anywhere to make me look 20! Funny thing is, jokes on young people because they too will age! Be brave! It’s natural! Lol
@@nataliealice05Then you'll be miserable cuz no magic can make you young forever. It's either you learn to love and care for yourself as you age or you keep pining after an age that you'll definitely grow past.
I thought it was pretty obvious and i dont even have TikTok to know about its filters. I'm starting to believe that people just LIKE being lied to these days
The fact it took you so long to believe she's a big ass scammer and uses filters left and right 😭😭 you're too nice Stephanie 😂 I don't think she's insecure or whatever, she's just making money out of other ladies' insecurities and that makes her incredibly ridiculous. Building her entire brand around that, basically a lie, is quite pathetic and unethical
IDK but I think her aged photo is really her (no aging filter) and her young version is a filter. Just my opinion. OR she has a daughter that looks like her.
Lmao she clearly admitted it in the interview and then tried to cover it. She doesnt feel she's putting herself down because she knows she's young. She simply doesn't care about people more than money.
She doesn't put herself down. She puts more mature women down who had lost their youthful looks. It's revolting! It is not shameful to age gracefully! Also, there is no way a 50 year old will look like a 25 year old with face tape and makeup on! I just feel sorry for those who buy into this.
She actually eluded a few times in her comment section that she's uses an aging filter. She never straight out said it and never will. There are many apps that do this. She just wants to hear how beautiful she is.
What she is doing is called FALSE ADVERTISMENT! We all know she's using filters and she will get sued by someone who purchased her items. It's only a matter of time. Darkness always comes to light.
Exactly it is false advertising and there should be more regulation of these shady businesses practices. Like how now in mascara ads they have to show a disclaimer if they use lash inserts
Interestingly after I saw your video last week, she showed up in my feed. She definitely is using filters on both ends to go extreme “bad” to extreme “good”. And also pushes the sale of taping your face really hard.
She is definitely using filters, she is seriously insincere and misleading. And what happens when at 55-60 she is n o t able to turn herself looking like a 25-30 year old? What will she attempt to sell then? The messages she sends are dangerous to young women and all she is is a base and shallow money greedy sales-woman. My opinion of course.
Meh. I say go for it! She's not really doing anything different than every brand in Sephora and CVS. I'd rather see her get some cash over these big brands charging 40 bucks for a tube of lipstick! And honestly.. if people are stupid enough to believe that a little tape can cure 50 years of aging... that's on them.
I'm sorry but I don't think anybody's gonna have that many chins irl then have them disappear with face tape or gorilla glue for that matter 😂 thanks Steph for revealing the bs so women get the truth about this!!! 💜💜💜
Sooo, funny random side note. I could not figure out why people were fanatical about this new procedure called ultherapy for the face. Turns out it is a bit akin to a non invasive mild face lift. Everyone wants a face lift without surgery. Also, if you now want want one, please be careful as it must be done very carefully.
You're the best, Stephanie. I'm past seventy and I just want to say that there comes a time when you just have to suck it up and face facts. Age is real. So are illness and death. So sorry to ruin everyone's party. Enjoy your youth while you have it ,realize it's all on loan. and guess what? there are worse things than being old. Like being dead ,for example .I loved being young and beautiful. I also enjoy being old, not having to work and doing whatever the hell I feel like doing. There are people to help, things to learn, endless wonder. But if you are stuck looking in your mirror ,trying to stop time or to look fuckable, you will miss it all and contribute little to the world around you.
Amen to that! I am 71 and have the best time shopping for makeup and wearing it. I can pass for 45 - easily. But I don’t need to or want to. I am at that point where I am not worried about what I am going to do with the next 5-10 years of my life. I will either be alive and happy or dead. So much certainty comes with age it’s wonderful. When my hair started to turn grey I let it run rampant…now I got tired of grey and went back to blonde- and I am just as happy. Life makes me happy, I sleep when I want and eat what I want. Old age is liberating 🎉

Seriously wise words. My body has changed from my mid twenties to my early thirties and even I've noticed that I don't get the attention I once did but I can honestly say it doesn't bother me. I'm comfortable in my own skin, how I look and how I dress which is far more important and even though I seemed "hotter" at 25, I was far less confident and comfortable than I am today and attracted the wrong sort of attention anyway. Men who admired me for one reason and one reason only. It was a very superficial time now I look back on it.
I am 54 and am realizing the youth and beauty thing is so trivial compared to what life is bringing. When life kicks you in the ass, you no longer worry about how pert it is lol
I had to take a big step away from social media (other than UA-cam,) because I couldn't escape feeling expired & irrelevant. I'm 45 and want to grateful for each day, not terrified of lines & grays ❤
Young people on tiktok are just as irrelevant as older people. Young ones are just exploited more for their looks by these platforms. Nobody actually cares about them as people, nobody cares about their thoughts, their lives etc
Gurl I totally agree. I am gonna 51 next month....holy cow 😲😵💫🤣 I stopped dying my hair cuz well got tired of those pesky wirey gray hairs popping up after a couple of weeks...sticking their tongue at me going nah nah nah nah nah u didn't get me.... gah the nerve! I stopped wearing makeup....guess I got tired of putting it on, then the pain of taking it off....just on a daily anyway. But u know what? I still look pretty good, and I still get compliments. I love getting older...well, except when my body beats me up and reminds me I'm not 20 anymore 😂
@@vickygonzales1341 I've never even met you but you sound like a breath of fresh air, a beautiful wise woman with lots of wonderful stories to share and knowledge to impart. Stay winning you wonderful one
If they banned tiktok and other social media pages used for vanity, I think that people would start spending their time appreciating their age and learning better things
Dude, I'm 56 and her "before" images look pretty much the same as me without makeup, maybe even older. She DEFINITELY looks older than late-20s to early 40s. I think you're really trying to be nice, and I guess I can't argue with your opinion, but seriously....? And no, her videos don't make me feel bad about myself. I honestly couldn't care less about what a Tiktok influencer does, about aging, about wrinkles or gray hair (though I still only have a few). I've _finally_ learned to accept myself as I am (took me decades to do so), my looks, and to be very glad I'm still on this side of the grave 😊
I was once young and lovely. The the years went by. 3 kids, breast cancer and the menopause came along. Does she not realise that she is looking at her own future in the before photos/videos? One day she will look like the "befores" but still feel like the "afters" on the inside. Maybe now is a good time to stop labelling women over 50. If she is blessed, she will be an older woman one day and hoping not to be judged in this way. ❤️
I blocked her on my Tiktok because she made me really self conscious of aging when I'm already self conscious about my looks to begin with. I just turned 45. I don't look it, people think I'm in my thirties and I've considered face tape. Then i thought better of it and thank goodness I took care of my skin. My mom is 70 and looks about 55.
I think Chloe is super funny but sadly her fame comes at the cost of making older women feel sad and depressed and worthless. I'm 39, I'm noticing certain signs of aging and it's no joke, what with social pressure to look young and this perpetual notion that women's worth expires as soon as they no longer look as young and fresh :(
I think this notion comes from the fact that young is healthy. Older people are not healthy, so the signs of sickness show. It's DNA damage, and it happens to every organ. The skin is just the most visible one. I believe it's natural to be afraid of aging, because you're slowly loosing your body. But yeah, there's no need for influencers to make everyone dread those times when we're zombies lol.
@@EmeseVidahealth is not determined by age otherwise fetuses would be the healthiest stage of life. There are plenty of older people who are healthier and in better shape then their young counterparts
@@dongysakura418 The skin is an organ too and there's just no healthy skin on old people. Bone density is reduced too. It's just not a desirable state of existence:) but yeah, a lot of people start taking better care of themselves when they notice their body is not the same anymore and so they pick up sports maybe the first time in their life and so they feel stronger at an older age than when they were young.
@@EmeseVida you shouldn't dread the idea of ageing, because that idea is exactly part of the problem, particularly on a mental and emotional level. Believe me there are positive aspects and perks about ageing. There should be a celebration of our time here at all times of life, not just a glorification of youthfulness. And we should not necessarily associate the ageing process to a decline in health, because it's not necessarily true. First of all, a decline in health implies the onset of a disease or some condition, and that can happen at any age. Moreover if a person takes good care of themselves they would be able to prevent or delay significant decline in health until much, much later in life. The problem here is really young people's mentality promoting that showing signs of ageing is the end of the world. It's the wrong way to think because no matter what you do time comes for you, and me, and every thing under the sun - and that is OK. Also by the way, when you are older you will find you are also attracted to people around your age, so there is a kind of levelling up with age in that regard as well. So it's not like a person is "out of the game" as soon as they reach 40 or something. The main point here though is that we should not associate the natural ageing process with total decline and feelings of horror and the end of living. Not to mention I am grateful that I get to age. What I don't appreciate is the notion being spread that ageing is bad and once a person's looks fade they lose their value. That's a terrible way to think, and it's not doing ourselves any favours because we all of us will age.
Literally just saw her page yesterday. Her editing is surprisingly convincing. It eats away at my self esteem to see shit like this. The thing is, it doesn’t eat away at her pride…because that would require integrity to begin with.
I know women in their 80s who don't look as bad as her "old age" photos. This is the catch for me. She isn't looking old, she is looking unhealthy. On the contrary, the "young" pictures look like a healthy young person. There are young people who eat an unhealthy diet, drink and smoke heavily, and where their inner stress has broken out on their face. Make-up doesn't change a woman from unhealthy to healthy. That is the catch for me.
@@ZFabia2010 you're taking OP's comment wayyy too seriously. Chloe is 28 (born in 1995) so her looking "old" is unhealthy FOR HER AGE. If she had been in her late 40s then her old look would be considered normal. It doesn't mean that looking old is unhealthy. It's only unhealthy when you're still young because then it would mean you're under extreme stress/have poor diet/using too much makeup/not getting enough sleep etc., all unhealthy habits.
I would agree. Microneedling can be done on most people and helps with all sorts of things, but also…. If you are not overweight it is far less likely to get much in the way of jowls because of the lack of extra fat. I still remember how shocking it was for me to see healthy fit people who were 80 and how different they looked. If anyone doubts me then go look up old people in countries too poor for this plastic surgery stuff who are fit and chopping wood everyday. It is a revelation.
@@switzer_no_switzing i stand by my statement, and opinion. You playing phycologist, is really scripted, I was replying to the comment. Made an example and a clear point. You are no one to tell me anything about what triggers me I said @sisterkerryofchristendom Is calling that look UNHEALTHY is the same as, saying someone is better looking than someone else. If you can't follow what I mean, I don't care. But you Don't tell me I'm emotional, or talk down to me, like this ,you sound like a masagonist, telling a woman to keep emotions in check is pretty lame.
I called this straight away when I first saw it. Tik Tok is rife with these sorts of filters and 'transformations' I'd be interested to see what her normal self looks like
She's using an aging filter and a beauty filter. It's so clear. She's def scamming people and she's gonna end up getting sued at some point, if she hasn't already been.
Videos like hers are entertaining at first Glace but over all so negative in so many ways it’s so hard to know what’s real and what’s not and I wonder if the money is worth degrading herself and others
Hi Stephanie I think this girl Chloe is going to get a rude shock when she enters real old age. It's no joke, and it's hard to come to terms with. We all get old, and it's hard enough, without the need for young people putting old people down, even more.☹
@@vintarusproximus2854unfortunately her being funny doesn’t make it okay. This is still pushing the narrative of “aging is bad” especially when women are involved. skincare/makeup companies make billions of dollars off of our insecurities because of this mindset. They make us hate ourselves then profit off it.
the aging filters she uses are all different too. Some she uses make it look like she doesn't have top dentures in or has an atrophying top lip (which as someone who has some fake front teeth even in my early twenties and who knows many who do its sad to see those conditions made fun of) but other times its just a thin upper lip and other times her lips are fine but her nose is a completely different shape. Basically I noticed it was all fake when she looked like a different kind of 'old' person every time.
The power of makeup is amazing and can make us feel and look good. But at the end of the day we need to learn to like ourselves as we are. Personally I think we give these influencers too much credit and too much attention. Keep in mind it's just entertainment. Don't believe everything is real or honest
100% scammer... I agree with you. As someone who is pushing 40 I find that kind of content degrading. I feel ugly enough without makeup, it makes me more insecure. Thank you Steph for opening peoples eyes to the reality of social media. Your content really helps me through some tough times 💖
You are so incredible and wholesome. You always try to lift other women up, even when you are talking about negative issues. ♥️🖤♥️Love watching your videos!
If you hear the word TIKTOK, just assume there's a filter. It's kind of a default on any app that involves photos & videos. Anything claiming to be "natural" still isn't. Sometimes it's a bitch just to get rid of the default settings, when you're trying to capture something exactly the way you see it IRL
I think it’s the opposite as well Steph, like her hair is lighter because of the aging filter, the aging filter lightens your hair, then she swaps it to maybe the beautifying filter after, but deffs her hair isn’t naturally that light in the “before” 100000% a filter before, and probably after too. It’s sad but the internet is a scam
I am 50 in December and she looks significantly older than I do without any make up in some shots and significantly younger in others. I think she's definitely using filters both ways. In the shots that seem genuine she looks like late 30ies / early 40ies.
I honestly think it was obvious there were filters involved, but thank you for confirming it. I like the idea of being able to embrace our ageing selves and yet still embracing it, making ourselves feel pretty with clothes, makeup, style and fashion. To see women in their 70s, 80s, and even 90s with their aged skin and facial structures wearing shimmer, smoky eyes, colourful clothes and makeup, white hair styled beautifully makes me so happy and so inspired for my future self. I plan to be a sexy, beautiful, artistic, and stylish geriatric NOT because I'm trying to be "mutton in lamb's clothing" but because I'm simply alive and living!
I think she’s enjoying herself right now by scamming others but one day she’s going to look in the mirror and be disgusted with herself. We all age but our actions and heart determines if we age gracefully or not. What she is doing will come back around to haunt her and those wrinkles will be real one day. No amount of make up or tape can hide it. Good luck with Botox or plastic surgery as well because that ends up having you look ridiculous.. Idk why women get upset about aging, it happens to all of us regardless. Let it happen naturally and enjoy your years of wisdom. Instead of trying to be younger, teach the women younger than you how to be a better woman. Break these generational curses and don’t let age determine if you’re beautiful or not. If we focus this much on your health and mental stability, this world would be much better. TikTok is so disturbing and really a distraction from reality. Thank you for bringing this video to light and exposing this scammer.
You are right, it’s so easy to see when she is using the filters. Thank you for being the one to show this woman playing with other women’s insecurities. We should help one another to thrive! I checked her TikTok and majority comments show that people get that she is using filters, she is only fooling herself and cares only about money!
A for sure sign... the age spots lol filter all the way! Also, makeup can't get rid of the shadow of bags. lol the aging filter she sometimes uses definitely has some pretty large eye puffiness/bags and then with makeup they're completely gone? You can change the color of under-eye circles, but you definitely cannot get rid of eye bags.
Preach!! Scammers also profit off of greed but low cost things that offer disproportionately high rewards simply don't exist. If it looks too good to be true then it probably isn't. Smh And like anyone who thinks a beauty blogger and her trusty tape can do what plastic surgeons can't has bigger problems.
No one could cover those eye bags & transform their neck like that ♥️plus the girl who has the makeup has a cleft in her chin and the before lady does not and her jowls could not have been helped by face tape
So love your content. It’s informative, kind, knowledgeable, real, relatable and showing so many of us the real catfishing that we had no clue that is or was going on. Sometimes I just wish one day the style/fashion/makeup picture’s/videos/commercials would have like a surgeon’s general warning like “viewing this maybe hazardous to your mental health because the models may have has plastic surgery or maybe using filters”… like that’s ever going to happen since the cosmetic industry makes billions on our insecurities, whether you’re young, old, male, female and everything in the melting pot of life. It’s really discouraging. Thank goodness for your content Ms Lange because without your perspective, I’d be hugely depressed. Your channel has been so good for my mental health and I can’t thank you enough. You truly have no clue how much you have but in perspective for me on trying not to get sucked into to financially unattainable. Ever so grateful!!!
Well I never thought one of my comments would make it into one of Stephanie’s videos!! ❤ thanks for calling this out, I appreciate it and 100% agree it’s a bad message being sent re: makeup/age
When I saw her, I definitely thought it had to be a filter. In her before images she looks in her 50's (comparing the aging of people with known ages, those wrinkles, sun spots, and sagginess usually happen 50's-60's). Then her face tape makes her appear in her late 20's-30's. Nothing is going to shave 20+ years off your face except for cosmetic procedures and filters. The fact that she's selling the "miracle" product tells us all we need to know! The majority of social media is fake, and it seems especially true for tik tok and IG, where the media can easily be edited. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is!
After a bit of internet sleuthing - because that one screenshot showed her real surname and that she's in Windsor, Ontario - I discovered her FB account. Google links some of the FB stuff she's commented or been tagged in, which redirects to her new married name. She's been married since at least 2017 (found an obituary in the Windsor paper from 2017), and her FB picture shows three kids. Not sure how old she was when she got married, but she's probably late 20s or early 30s. Edit: some of her FB posts aren't locked. She has a post from 2022 linking to a GoFundMe page for a breast augmentation talking about how she's almost 30.
For anyone near my age feeling bad about themselves (mid 40s), I'm so very sorry this content harms you. To honestly help your skin tone, texture and sagging issues, I would suggest face yoga, red light therapy, and sunscreen with a good skin care routine. No plastic surgery or expensive procedures needed. ❤
All these 'ugly' to 'beautiful' videos cause a huge amount of mental anguish and insecurity for people who never feel beautiful and have, in fact, been picked on and bullied about their looks. Not everyone can look this beautiful regardless of what they do besides plastic surgery, botox or the like
My partner happened to walk by when I was watching this, he stopped & came over to watch with me, and when I explained her face tape business, he said (very confused), “I don’t get it. Just use a filter.” I had to remind him that some people might like to go offline & into the real world sometimes lol But seriously, this is straight bs. Definitely an aging filter at least half the time, so she can make her product’s results look WAY more extreme than they really are. And when it’s NOT a filter…maybe she’s still really young & just able to work those unflattering angles, so she thinks “I don’t *actually* look like this, so I’m not putting my real face down”. But someday she IS going to age for real, and she’s going to remember all those disgusted comments about her older face, and that’s going to cause some real problems for her self-esteem.
My mother finds her as an inspiration. She also believes she uses face tape, and filters. My mother is nearing 60, so you can understand why she is looking for inspiration for makeup up changing her aging face. Mind you, my mother is a fire red head, with freckles, and emerald green eye. She is GORGEOUS and has looks many women dream to have. And I have tried to tell her that she is using an aging filter, she ENHANCES her aging by using a filter just enough to camouflage her tricks. She really is using the trick of the eye. Because the transformation is not that possible. We can transform ourselves most definitely with makeup. But this lady gives hopes up by showing the impossible transformation that is not possible. My mother has a tik tok. Which is really cool. But she filters, and cakes makeup to try to succeed in the unrealistic transformation. Ladies, aging is a magical and beautiful thing. Our skin is a wonderful working machine. Something we can never imitate. The sagging skin and wrinkles, are special, and we should all be proud we make it this far to age. Take great care of yourself. 🌸🌸🌸
@@rebel1612 Ita understandable, but is hard to deal with for sure. And our mothers hadn’t lived with the widespread power of the internet, as I have most of my life, and I am sure yours as well. So for my mother, it all so much for her. But the best we can do is constantly remind them of their precious beauty.🥹🥹🌸🌸🥰
Not easy to gain a social media following/business around it. That is a fact. Some people if comes easy. Others seem to be naturals. Well said, thank you Stephanie.
Thx soooooo much for your thoughts on the topic! I'm 39 and very proud of it, because I work hard for a healthy body..I watched her content many times and share your view on many points you've made. I think she is gorgeous either way. But using the filters and the catchy titles is not working for me personally and furthermore is an unfair illusion. Therefore I'm thankful that you put a spotlight on the techniques and the possible tools to accomplish such an outcome.
I thought it was a scam right from the 1st time I saw her & my opinion has not changed one iota I adore you!! I am 67 years young, and have embraced aging because I feel it is a privilege to grow old. I am also a student going for my masters in psychology, forensics psychology, and I have 2 1/2 years left.
she made a tiktok video where she acts like stephanie is being the bully and that chloe only wanted to build a business! so ridiculous. she didn't even mentione the message she could possibly put out on women and just tries act like the victim. wow.
I could tell something was off in her video that I watched. I didn’t really believe her but it did make me feel bad and self conscious. I thought maybe I should change the way I look. Most of the time I feel good about my age and appearance. I’m almost 49. I’m starting to get hyper aware of my looks as I’m getting closer to 50.
I'm in my 50s and this young woman is being incredibly rude to older women. She's saying that young is the thing to aspire 2, bleuch!. How about she spend her time giving makeovers to other people, especially those ugly old gits like me and make us feel beautiful for a change. A horrid shallow agist approach to beauty. Thank you so much for sharing this, I thought she was suspicious.
And yes. I agree. Aging is a privilege, and wrinkles and sagging skin are normal. As im aging and getting wrinkles, I am happy to see them because they are signs of a happy life in the areas I'm getting them. She's scammy.
The tipoff of the scam (for me) are two things: her lip volume (that's more than just overlining) and her jawline tautness. You can do a lot of things with makeup, but you can't physically make your lips that much bigger, and you can't make a totally tight jawline like that.
Have you tried face tape yourself? Because you absolutely can get a tight jawline with it. It helps too if you wear a wig to help keep the tape fasteners in place on the back of your head.
I remember seeing a video of her for the first time and my intuition screamed FAKE. It just seemed impossible! Thanks for this video, I can relax now knowing I wasn’t crazy for thinking that!
Great video and I really appreciate you covering this. My body has changed from my mid twenties to my early thirties and even I've noticed that I don't get the attention I once did but I can honestly say it doesn't bother me. I'm comfortable in my own skin, how I look and how I dress which is far more important and even though I seemed "hotter" at 25, I was far less confident and comfortable than I am today and attracted the wrong sort of attention anyway. Men who admired me for one reason and one reason only. It was a very superficial time now I look back on it.
There are advertising standards (laws) for a reason... if a brand isn't allowed to mislead and lie to sell its products, why should a random idiot on TikTok be allowed to mislead and lie to sell things?
It is truly insulting to lie about her age, use filters to push the boundaries of her natural likeness to be older or younger and then use a product to exaggerate positive results. She then is no longer a legitimate source to sell a product. Everything is a lie, probably even her tic toc name. It's scamming for certain.
In the "old lady" videos of her, she's making silly faces, sticking out her tongue, looking tired, grumpy, upset. Like, yes, being and older woman is the worst thing so i can't smile.
This is just another example of what you can avoid by never going on TikTok!
I agree. She is a scammer.
Yyyep!
or Pinterest. One bratz doll after another...2 min in & I'm self distorted!

And that’s WHY I’ll NEVER have a TT! 😭😭

You're definitely on the older side of life and youth, and that's ok. Were you thinking that 50yo women were old when you were 20? Of course we all did, It has always been the case, and if you go on an app dominated by gen z, well obviously they will make this kind of comment, let's be realistic.

Lol you're looking at it from a different angle. The surprise and jumpscare comes from the fact that she looks so different in the before and after not just because she looks old in the before
She’s catfishing her catfish brand. 😂 That’s next level scammery.
Hahahah
But goood!😂
“Next level scammery”. Brilliant! 😂
Catfish inception 😆
😂😂😂
As an almost 55 year old, she’s absolutely using a filter.
Amen! I’m almost 59 and I am a jump scare! There aren’t enough filters anywhere to make me look 20! Funny thing is, jokes on young people because they too will age! Be brave! It’s natural! Lol
I think she's using an aging filter on before also. I was insulted when Stephanie said she looked late 20s in the befores?!?!
@@sueorosz8886right, these young people talk like the ones in their 30s are senior citizens
@@sueorosz8886Girl, don't call yourself a jumpscare though😢 I'm sure you're beautiful, just be kind to yourself
She’s not using a filter. She’s actually using face shape. She actually showed how she did it.
I work in a nursing home and when my residents say "no I'm not beautiful, I'm old!" It breaks my heart, they're still beautiful 🥺
So true. I work in a hospital. There is nothing more heart warming than seeing a wrinkly smile. Makes everyone unique
I knew that couldn’t be her real face. There’s only so much makeup can do. It can’t remove jowls.
Face tape can. Itvworks wonders. But it's just temporary solution.
It would spike my anxiety to take it off at night to be really honest
I can't be that cruel to myself
You're so real for that. Tbh face tape also stretches out skin over time so not using it is just the smart thing to do.
Yes look at the hands and the neck... those are usually give aways of the age of someone.
It kind of "trains" ppl to associate ageing w HORROR- something to "fix"
Right? Like that’s such a negative idea, since aging is natural, it s beautiful
Love and take care of yourself and you will be beautiful in aging
Yeah, I’m 66. Makes me feel like 💩
exactly!
@@goodmorning2386I don't care to be beautyful in ageing. I want ti have my 20 years old face again. There is nothing pretty in wrinkles and sagging
@@nataliealice05Then you'll be miserable cuz no magic can make you young forever. It's either you learn to love and care for yourself as you age or you keep pining after an age that you'll definitely grow past.
She's 28, she uses a filter before and after, the internet is hopeless nowadays lol
Thank you! Why can’t people tell?
Yes exactly. I found out a long time ago she was 27 years old. Now she must be about 29
I thought it was pretty obvious and i dont even have TikTok to know about its filters. I'm starting to believe that people just LIKE being lied to these days
The fact it took you so long to believe she's a big ass scammer and uses filters left and right 😭😭 you're too nice Stephanie 😂
I don't think she's insecure or whatever, she's just making money out of other ladies' insecurities and that makes her incredibly ridiculous. Building her entire brand around that, basically a lie, is quite pathetic and unethical
Her “transformations” are not physically possible
IDK but I think her aged photo is really her (no aging filter) and her young version is a filter. Just my opinion. OR she has a daughter that looks like her.
@@angelabrolund1373yes she does have a daughter that's soo like her 😳
Lmao she clearly admitted it in the interview and then tried to cover it. She doesnt feel she's putting herself down because she knows she's young. She simply doesn't care about people more than money.
She doesn't put herself down. She puts more mature women down who had lost their youthful looks. It's revolting! It is not shameful to age gracefully! Also, there is no way a 50 year old will look like a 25 year old with face tape and makeup on! I just feel sorry for those who buy into this.
I was about to say exactly this.
She actually eluded a few times in her comment section that she's uses an aging filter. She never straight out said it and never will. There are many apps that do this. She just wants to hear how beautiful she is.
Exactly!! Yes 👏🏻
We all gotta earn a living, but we don't have to do it by exploiting the insecurities of other women! I agree with you Steph
What she is doing is called FALSE ADVERTISMENT! We all know she's using filters and she will get sued by someone who purchased her items. It's only a matter of time. Darkness always comes to light.
I agree.
Exactly it is false advertising and there should be more regulation of these shady businesses practices. Like how now in mascara ads they have to show a disclaimer if they use lash inserts
Thank you for reminding everyone that makeup doesn't determine someone's worth. 💯
Yeah, I thought she was a liar after two vids. She’s capitalizing and profiting off of lies. Disgusting.
100 🙏🏽💟
Unless the make-up is really expensive...
It really doesn’t
Interestingly after I saw your video last week, she showed up in my feed. She definitely is using filters on both ends to go extreme “bad” to extreme “good”. And also pushes the sale of taping your face really hard.
That’s shameful and 100% scammy. Being a woman over 40 this upsets me. Someone should run a simple online verification expose her real age. Hint hint…
A scam right, hard to tell her real age because of the filters
I agree! 46 here and laughing at some of the aged filter pics, she looks WAY older with them.
Are you literally saying someone should doctor because you want to find out what her real age is nosy much
She’s the age she looks with the makeup on because that’s her with more minimal filters. So maybe 25, which is why she’ll never say.
Since when 35 the same as 50? 30's to 40's isn't even aged.@KristyStone-xq7or
Lordy! As a 60+ year young woman, that is a old-age filter and it’s awful! Thank you!!
Definitely a filter. Hair doesn’t go from gray to brown when you put makeup on your face 😂
Yes the hair color gives it away!
Face swap with her daughter 🙄
The hair looks gray because of baby powder. Which she’s talked about many times. Y’all are so silly about this woman!
@@ameliabyrne3907no it's just her. No daughter. She is 28.
@@keeperofthe7keys1987 yes it's her and her mother look closely 😁👍
She is definitely using filters, she is seriously insincere and misleading. And what happens when at 55-60 she is n o t able to turn herself looking like a 25-30 year old? What will she attempt to sell then? The messages she sends are dangerous to young women and all she is is a base and shallow money greedy sales-woman. My opinion of course.
Meh. I say go for it! She's not really doing anything different than every brand in Sephora and CVS. I'd rather see her get some cash over these big brands charging 40 bucks for a tube of lipstick!
And honestly.. if people are stupid enough to believe that a little tape can cure 50 years of aging... that's on them.
Then she will use filters to look younger
She’ll probably just kill herself once she hits 45
She's 28, born in 1995
I'm so glad she's finally being talked about, i never understood her content
Same.
I'm sorry but I don't think anybody's gonna have that many chins irl then have them disappear with face tape or gorilla glue for that matter 😂 thanks Steph for revealing the bs so women get the truth about this!!! 💜💜💜
"Gorilla glue" 😂 love it
Hilarious comment about the gorilla glue. Mind you…. It might make a man stick to you 😉
Omg, gorilla glue 😂😂😂
Sooo, funny random side note. I could not figure out why people were fanatical about this new procedure called ultherapy for the face. Turns out it is a bit akin to a non invasive mild face lift. Everyone wants a face lift without surgery. Also, if you now want want one, please be careful as it must be done very carefully.
Gorilla glue 😂😂😂😂
You're the best, Stephanie.
I'm past seventy and I just want to say that there comes a time when you just have to suck it up and face facts. Age is real. So are illness and death. So sorry to ruin everyone's party. Enjoy your youth while you have it ,realize it's all on loan. and guess what? there are worse things than being old. Like being dead ,for example .I loved being young and beautiful. I also enjoy being old, not having to work and doing whatever the hell I feel like doing. There are people to help, things to learn, endless wonder. But if you are stuck looking in your mirror ,trying to stop time or to look fuckable, you will miss it all and contribute little to the world around you.
Amen to that! I am 71 and have the best time shopping for makeup and wearing it. I can pass for 45 - easily. But I don’t need to or want to. I am at that point where I am not worried about what I am going to do with the next 5-10 years of my life. I will either be alive and happy or dead. So much certainty comes with age it’s wonderful. When my hair started to turn grey I let it run rampant…now I got tired of grey and went back to blonde- and I am just as happy. Life makes me happy, I sleep when I want and eat what I want. Old age is liberating 🎉

While from where i am only young people are "glorified"
Seriously wise words. My body has changed from my mid twenties to my early thirties and even I've noticed that I don't get the attention I once did but I can honestly say it doesn't bother me. I'm comfortable in my own skin, how I look and how I dress which is far more important and even though I seemed "hotter" at 25, I was far less confident and comfortable than I am today and attracted the wrong sort of attention anyway. Men who admired me for one reason and one reason only. It was a very superficial time now I look back on it.
I am 54 and am realizing the youth and beauty thing is so trivial compared to what life is bringing. When life kicks you in the ass, you no longer worry about how pert it is lol
I had to take a big step away from social media (other than UA-cam,)
because I couldn't escape feeling expired & irrelevant.
I'm 45 and want to grateful for each day, not terrified of lines & grays ❤
Me too.
Young people on tiktok are just as irrelevant as older people. Young ones are just exploited more for their looks by these platforms. Nobody actually cares about them as people, nobody cares about their thoughts, their lives etc
As a 60-something young woman, yes! I earned it all-
Gurl I totally agree. I am gonna 51 next month....holy cow 😲😵💫🤣
I stopped dying my hair cuz well got tired of those pesky wirey gray hairs popping up after a couple of weeks...sticking their tongue at me going nah nah nah nah nah u didn't get me.... gah the nerve! I stopped wearing makeup....guess I got tired of putting it on, then the pain of taking it off....just on a daily anyway. But u know what? I still look pretty good, and I still get compliments. I love getting older...well, except when my body beats me up and reminds me I'm not 20 anymore 😂

Truly cannot stand her TikToks and it’s shocking to me that people are falling for her BS lol
Thanks Stephanie for always being so kind to all the women in general..❤
💯
The world has gone totally mental
It’s always been mental. It’s only shocking because of the media.
If they banned tiktok and other social media pages used for vanity, I think that people would start spending their time appreciating their age and learning better things
I saw her on TikTok and knew it was BS. Glad you are calling her out.
Does anyone think she went from 60 years old to 25? I hope not.
Dude, I'm 56 and her "before" images look pretty much the same as me without makeup, maybe even older. She DEFINITELY looks older than late-20s to early 40s. I think you're really trying to be nice, and I guess I can't argue with your opinion, but seriously....? And no, her videos don't make me feel bad about myself. I honestly couldn't care less about what a Tiktok influencer does, about aging, about wrinkles or gray hair (though I still only have a few). I've _finally_ learned to accept myself as I am (took me decades to do so), my looks, and to be very glad I'm still on this side of the grave 😊
I was once young and lovely. The the years went by. 3 kids, breast cancer and the menopause came along. Does she not realise that she is looking at her own future in the before photos/videos? One day she will look like the "befores" but still feel like the "afters" on the inside. Maybe now is a good time to stop labelling women over 50. If she is blessed, she will be an older woman one day and hoping not to be judged in this way. ❤️
I blocked her on my Tiktok because she made me really self conscious of aging when I'm already self conscious about my looks to begin with. I just turned 45. I don't look it, people think I'm in my thirties and I've considered face tape. Then i thought better of it and thank goodness I took care of my skin. My mom is 70 and looks about 55.
I think Chloe is super funny but sadly her fame comes at the cost of making older women feel sad and depressed and worthless.
I'm 39, I'm noticing certain signs of aging and it's no joke, what with social pressure to look young and this perpetual notion that women's worth expires as soon as they no longer look as young and fresh :(
@@chez.papa212Agreed, I want to be in this mindset as I age.
I think this notion comes from the fact that young is healthy. Older people are not healthy, so the signs of sickness show. It's DNA damage, and it happens to every organ. The skin is just the most visible one. I believe it's natural to be afraid of aging, because you're slowly loosing your body. But yeah, there's no need for influencers to make everyone dread those times when we're zombies lol.
@@EmeseVidahealth is not determined by age otherwise fetuses would be the healthiest stage of life. There are plenty of older people who are healthier and in better shape then their young counterparts
@@dongysakura418 The skin is an organ too and there's just no healthy skin on old people. Bone density is reduced too. It's just not a desirable state of existence:) but yeah, a lot of people start taking better care of themselves when they notice their body is not the same anymore and so they pick up sports maybe the first time in their life and so they feel stronger at an older age than when they were young.
@@EmeseVida you shouldn't dread the idea of ageing, because that idea is exactly part of the problem, particularly on a mental and emotional level. Believe me there are positive aspects and perks about ageing. There should be a celebration of our time here at all times of life, not just a glorification of youthfulness.
And we should not necessarily associate the ageing process to a decline in health, because it's not necessarily true. First of all, a decline in health implies the onset of a disease or some condition, and that can happen at any age. Moreover if a person takes good care of themselves they would be able to prevent or delay significant decline in health until much, much later in life.
The problem here is really young people's mentality promoting that showing signs of ageing is the end of the world. It's the wrong way to think because no matter what you do time comes for you, and me, and every thing under the sun - and that is OK.
Also by the way, when you are older you will find you are also attracted to people around your age, so there is a kind of levelling up with age in that regard as well. So it's not like a person is "out of the game" as soon as they reach 40 or something.
The main point here though is that we should not associate the natural ageing process with total decline and feelings of horror and the end of living.
Not to mention I am grateful that I get to age.
What I don't appreciate is the notion being spread that ageing is bad and once a person's looks fade they lose their value. That's a terrible way to think, and it's not doing ourselves any favours because we all of us will age.
Literally just saw her page yesterday. Her editing is surprisingly convincing. It eats away at my self esteem to see shit like this. The thing is, it doesn’t eat away at her pride…because that would require integrity to begin with.
She is 28 years old. You can kinda tell she is young by the skin on her neck and chest and arms being very tight.
Sorry, but you can't judge age - she has grandchildren - fact
@@irenem9067 No dude, she’s literally that age. It’s not a judgment call.
@@irenem9067unless she became a mother at 6 then she absolutely has no grandchildren. She is 28.

This is sickening. Shame on her. I wish she’d get CANCELLED. Reminds me of when Mykala lied on the mascara tutorial. Not right.
I know women in their 80s who don't look as bad as her "old age" photos. This is the catch for me. She isn't looking old, she is looking unhealthy. On the contrary, the "young" pictures look like a healthy young person. There are young people who eat an unhealthy diet, drink and smoke heavily, and where their inner stress has broken out on their face. Make-up doesn't change a woman from unhealthy to healthy. That is the catch for me.
@@ZFabia2010calm down. She wasn't talking to you.
@@ZFabia2010 you're taking OP's comment wayyy too seriously. Chloe is 28 (born in 1995) so her looking "old" is unhealthy FOR HER AGE. If she had been in her late 40s then her old look would be considered normal. It doesn't mean that looking old is unhealthy. It's only unhealthy when you're still young because then it would mean you're under extreme stress/have poor diet/using too much makeup/not getting enough sleep etc., all unhealthy habits.
I would agree. Microneedling can be done on most people and helps with all sorts of things, but also…. If you are not overweight it is far less likely to get much in the way of jowls because of the lack of extra fat. I still remember how shocking it was for me to see healthy fit people who were 80 and how different they looked. If anyone doubts me then go look up old people in countries too poor for this plastic surgery stuff who are fit and chopping wood everyday. It is a revelation.

I called this straight away when I first saw it. Tik Tok is rife with these sorts of filters and 'transformations' I'd be interested to see what her normal self looks like
She's using an aging filter and a beauty filter. It's so clear. She's def scamming people and she's gonna end up getting sued at some point, if she hasn't already been.
Videos like hers are entertaining at first Glace but over all so negative in so many ways it’s so hard to know what’s real and what’s not and I wonder if the money is worth degrading herself and others
Hi Stephanie I think this girl Chloe is going to get a rude shock when she enters real old age. It's no joke, and it's hard to come to terms with.
We all get old, and it's hard enough, without the need for young people putting old people down, even more.☹
I am 39, have signs of aging, which i hate,and don't feel offended by her content. She's funny.
@@vintarusproximus2854unfortunately her being funny doesn’t make it okay. This is still pushing the narrative of “aging is bad” especially when women are involved. skincare/makeup companies make billions of dollars off of our insecurities because of this mindset. They make us hate ourselves then profit off it.
I feel like she will feel really hateful of herself as she ages cuz she is projecting it on her own face right now
So sick of lying liars.
the aging filters she uses are all different too. Some she uses make it look like she doesn't have top dentures in or has an atrophying top lip (which as someone who has some fake front teeth even in my early twenties and who knows many who do its sad to see those conditions made fun of) but other times its just a thin upper lip and other times her lips are fine but her nose is a completely different shape.
Basically I noticed it was all fake when she looked like a different kind of 'old' person every time.
The power of makeup is amazing and can make us feel and look good. But at the end of the day we need to learn to like ourselves as we are. Personally I think we give these influencers too much credit and too much attention. Keep in mind it's just entertainment. Don't believe everything is real or honest
100% scammer... I agree with you. As someone who is pushing 40 I find that kind of content degrading. I feel ugly enough without makeup, it makes me more insecure. Thank you Steph for opening peoples eyes to the reality of social media. Your content really helps me through some tough times 💖
You are so incredible and wholesome. You always try to lift other women up, even when you are talking about negative issues. ♥️🖤♥️Love watching your videos!
Common sense isn’t so common anymore. I’ve never heard of her and could tell right off the bat that she’s using filters 😂
If you hear the word TIKTOK, just assume there's a filter. It's kind of a default on any app that involves photos & videos. Anything claiming to be "natural" still isn't. Sometimes it's a bitch just to get rid of the default settings, when you're trying to capture something exactly the way you see it IRL
Thank you, Stephanie! As an older woman, I appreciate you defending my feelings. You are beautiful, inside and out.
I think it’s the opposite as well Steph, like her hair is lighter because of the aging filter, the aging filter lightens your hair, then she swaps it to maybe the beautifying filter after, but deffs her hair isn’t naturally that light in the “before”
100000% a filter before, and probably after too. It’s sad but the internet is a scam
I am 50 in December and she looks significantly older than I do without any make up in some shots and significantly younger in others. I think she's definitely using filters both ways. In the shots that seem genuine she looks like late 30ies / early 40ies.
There’s no way in hell she looks like that. Loose face skin does not tighten up with makeup. I believe some of her videos have the aging filter 100%
I honestly think it was obvious there were filters involved, but thank you for confirming it. I like the idea of being able to embrace our ageing selves and yet still embracing it, making ourselves feel pretty with clothes, makeup, style and fashion. To see women in their 70s, 80s, and even 90s with their aged skin and facial structures wearing shimmer, smoky eyes, colourful clothes and makeup, white hair styled beautifully makes me so happy and so inspired for my future self. I plan to be a sexy, beautiful, artistic, and stylish geriatric NOT because I'm trying to be "mutton in lamb's clothing" but because I'm simply alive and living!
I think she’s enjoying herself right now by scamming others but one day she’s going to look in the mirror and be disgusted with herself. We all age but our actions and heart determines if we age gracefully or not. What she is doing will come back around to haunt her and those wrinkles will be real one day. No amount of make up or tape can hide it. Good luck with Botox or plastic surgery as well because that ends up having you look ridiculous..
Idk why women get upset about aging, it happens to all of us regardless. Let it happen naturally and enjoy your years of wisdom. Instead of trying to be younger, teach the women younger than you how to be a better woman. Break these generational curses and don’t let age determine if you’re beautiful or not. If we focus this much on your health and mental stability, this world would be much better.
TikTok is so disturbing and really a distraction from reality.
Thank you for bringing this video to light and exposing this scammer.
I think you raise the most important issues. You're intelligent, sparkly, honest. And, yes, i think she's scammy. Great video. ❤
You are right, it’s so easy to see when she is using the filters. Thank you for being the one to show this woman playing with other women’s insecurities. We should help one another to thrive! I checked her TikTok and majority comments show that people get that she is using filters, she is only fooling herself and cares only about money!
A for sure sign... the age spots lol filter all the way! Also, makeup can't get rid of the shadow of bags. lol the aging filter she sometimes uses definitely has some pretty large eye puffiness/bags and then with makeup they're completely gone? You can change the color of under-eye circles, but you definitely cannot get rid of eye bags.
We all know there are scammers out there. Sometimes we just don’t want to believe it. Believe it.
Preach!! Scammers also profit off of greed but low cost things that offer disproportionately high rewards simply don't exist. If it looks too good to be true then it probably isn't. Smh
And like anyone who thinks a beauty blogger and her trusty tape can do what plastic surgeons can't has bigger problems.
Her hands look late 20s. No matter what the hands tell ur true age.
That’s why the Queen always wore gloves lol
Im in my late 20s and my hands still look like in my teens. I think late 20s is a bit too early to tell just from the hands lol
I had tiktok for like one day and was like "well this sh*t somehow managed to be more toxic than Instagram." and deleted it. My tiktok journey.
SHADY & SCAMMY 😡
The FTC will be after her soon enough, if they’re not already onto her. That’s false advertising
I found somewhere she’s 28 years. Her name is Chloe Fountain & her dob is February 6, 1995.
Yes your right........28yrs old
No one could cover those eye bags & transform their neck like that ♥️plus the girl who has the makeup has a cleft in her chin and the before lady does not and her jowls could not have been helped by face tape
So love your content. It’s informative, kind, knowledgeable, real, relatable and showing so many of us the real catfishing that we had no clue that is or was going on. Sometimes I just wish one day the style/fashion/makeup picture’s/videos/commercials would have like a surgeon’s general warning like “viewing this maybe hazardous to your mental health because the models may have has plastic surgery or maybe using filters”… like that’s ever going to happen since the cosmetic industry makes billions on our insecurities, whether you’re young, old, male, female and everything in the melting pot of life. It’s really discouraging.
Thank goodness for your content Ms Lange because without your perspective, I’d be hugely depressed. Your channel has been so good for my mental health and I can’t thank you enough. You truly have no clue how much you have but in perspective for me on trying not to get sucked into to financially unattainable.
Ever so grateful!!!
And yet ppl are STILL pissed about mikayla and a tube of mascara. This is 10000xs worse (imo)
This is totally scammy, especially with her selling the product she is.
As a 60 year old, it makes me angry that she's lying and making us think that we can look younger by doing what she's doing. 🤬
This is honestly a case for false advertising with the Federal Trade Commission if this in the USA
The whole beauty and fashion industry have capitalised on women's insecurities from the beginning.
Well I never thought one of my comments would make it into one of Stephanie’s videos!! ❤ thanks for calling this out, I appreciate it and 100% agree it’s a bad message being sent re: makeup/age
When I saw her, I definitely thought it had to be a filter. In her before images she looks in her 50's (comparing the aging of people with known ages, those wrinkles, sun spots, and sagginess usually happen 50's-60's). Then her face tape makes her appear in her late 20's-30's. Nothing is going to shave 20+ years off your face except for cosmetic procedures and filters. The fact that she's selling the "miracle" product tells us all we need to know! The majority of social media is fake, and it seems especially true for tik tok and IG, where the media can easily be edited. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is!
After a bit of internet sleuthing - because that one screenshot showed her real surname and that she's in Windsor, Ontario - I discovered her FB account. Google links some of the FB stuff she's commented or been tagged in, which redirects to her new married name. She's been married since at least 2017 (found an obituary in the Windsor paper from 2017), and her FB picture shows three kids. Not sure how old she was when she got married, but she's probably late 20s or early 30s.
Edit: some of her FB posts aren't locked. She has a post from 2022 linking to a GoFundMe page for a breast augmentation talking about how she's almost 30.
For anyone near my age feeling bad about themselves (mid 40s), I'm so very sorry this content harms you. To honestly help your skin tone, texture and sagging issues, I would suggest face yoga, red light therapy, and sunscreen with a good skin care routine. No plastic surgery or expensive procedures needed. ❤
All these 'ugly' to 'beautiful' videos cause a huge amount of mental anguish and insecurity for people who never feel beautiful and have, in fact, been picked on and bullied about their looks. Not everyone can look this beautiful regardless of what they do besides plastic surgery, botox or the like
I admit I have trouble knowing if filters are used on somebody or not, and it scares me how powerful this tool is, and how accessible it is
My partner happened to walk by when I was watching this, he stopped & came over to watch with me, and when I explained her face tape business, he said (very confused), “I don’t get it. Just use a filter.” I had to remind him that some people might like to go offline & into the real world sometimes lol But seriously, this is straight bs. Definitely an aging filter at least half the time, so she can make her product’s results look WAY more extreme than they really are. And when it’s NOT a filter…maybe she’s still really young & just able to work those unflattering angles, so she thinks “I don’t *actually* look like this, so I’m not putting my real face down”. But someday she IS going to age for real, and she’s going to remember all those disgusted comments about her older face, and that’s going to cause some real problems for her self-esteem.
My mother finds her as an inspiration. She also believes she uses face tape, and filters. My mother is nearing 60, so you can understand why she is looking for inspiration for makeup up changing her aging face.
Mind you, my mother is a fire red head, with freckles, and emerald green eye. She is GORGEOUS and has looks many women dream to have.
And I have tried to tell her that she is using an aging filter, she ENHANCES her aging by using a filter just enough to camouflage her tricks. She really is using the trick of the eye. Because the transformation is not that possible. We can transform ourselves most definitely with makeup. But this lady gives hopes up by showing the impossible transformation that is not possible. My mother has a tik tok. Which is really cool. But she filters, and cakes makeup to try to succeed in the unrealistic transformation.
Ladies, aging is a magical and beautiful thing. Our skin is a wonderful working machine. Something we can never imitate. The sagging skin and wrinkles, are special, and we should all be proud we make it this far to age. Take great care of yourself. 🌸🌸🌸
It is so incredibly sad that we don’t value natural beauty that comes with aging. My mom struggles to accept her beauty as she ages too.
@@rebel1612 Ita understandable, but is hard to deal with for sure. And our mothers hadn’t lived with the widespread power of the internet, as I have most of my life, and I am sure yours as well.
So for my mother, it all so much for her.
But the best we can do is constantly remind them of their precious beauty.🥹🥹🌸🌸🥰
Not easy to gain a social media following/business around it. That is a fact. Some people if comes easy. Others seem to be naturals. Well said, thank you Stephanie.
I love your videos you have been a huge influence in me learning to love myself for the past 10 years
Thx soooooo much for your thoughts on the topic! I'm 39 and very proud of it, because I work hard for a healthy body..I watched her content many times and share your view on many points you've made. I think she is gorgeous either way. But using the filters and the catchy titles is not working for me personally and furthermore is an unfair illusion. Therefore I'm thankful that you put a spotlight on the techniques and the possible tools to accomplish such an outcome.
I thought it was a scam right from the 1st time I saw her & my opinion has not changed one iota I adore you!! I am 67 years young, and have embraced aging because I feel it is a privilege to grow old. I am also a student going for my masters in psychology, forensics psychology, and I have 2 1/2 years left.
she made a tiktok video where she acts like stephanie is being the bully and that chloe only wanted to build a business! so ridiculous. she didn't even mentione the message she could possibly put out on women and just tries act like the victim. wow.
I am not on tiktok but how can people get scammed like this 😢. The transformation is too unreal. It looks like two different people.
I bet she's in her mid to late 40s...seriously.
She's 28
@@13MariJ damn
Nah. She's definitely like 26-28.
@@13MariJ Holy wow 😳
@@gdesiree29 she looks to be at least pushing 40 in her bare face 👀 & I'm not trying to be mean bc I'm in my mid 40s. Wow!!!
and on top of everything, as a woman using other womens insecurities, downgrading and making fun of them is just despicable.
I could tell something was off in her video that I watched. I didn’t really believe her but it did make me feel bad and self conscious. I thought maybe I should change the way I look. Most of the time I feel good about my age and appearance. I’m almost 49. I’m starting to get hyper aware of my looks as I’m getting closer to 50.
I'm in my 50s and this young woman is being incredibly rude to older women. She's saying that young is the thing to aspire 2, bleuch!. How about she spend her time giving makeovers to other people, especially those ugly old gits like me and make us feel beautiful for a change. A horrid shallow agist approach to beauty. Thank you so much for sharing this, I thought she was suspicious.
And yes. I agree. Aging is a privilege, and wrinkles and sagging skin are normal. As im aging and getting wrinkles, I am happy to see them because they are signs of a happy life in the areas I'm getting them.
She's scammy.
I got turned off her when she posted a video of her “pranking” her bf by painting his house pink while he was at work.
The tipoff of the scam (for me) are two things: her lip volume (that's more than just overlining) and her jawline tautness. You can do a lot of things with makeup, but you can't physically make your lips that much bigger, and you can't make a totally tight jawline like that.
Have you tried face tape yourself? Because you absolutely can get a tight jawline with it. It helps too if you wear a wig to help keep the tape fasteners in place on the back of your head.
I remember seeing a video of her for the first time and my intuition screamed FAKE. It just seemed impossible! Thanks for this video, I can relax now knowing I wasn’t crazy for thinking that!
Great video and I really appreciate you covering this. My body has changed from my mid twenties to my early thirties and even I've noticed that I don't get the attention I once did but I can honestly say it doesn't bother me. I'm comfortable in my own skin, how I look and how I dress which is far more important and even though I seemed "hotter" at 25, I was far less confident and comfortable than I am today and attracted the wrong sort of attention anyway. Men who admired me for one reason and one reason only. It was a very superficial time now I look back on it.
always delivering the best content
I agree
There are advertising standards (laws) for a reason... if a brand isn't allowed to mislead and lie to sell its products, why should a random idiot on TikTok be allowed to mislead and lie to sell things?
It is truly insulting to lie about her age, use filters to push the boundaries of her natural likeness to be older or younger and then use a product to exaggerate positive results. She then is no longer a legitimate source to sell a product. Everything is a lie, probably even her tic toc name. It's scamming for certain.
In the "old lady" videos of her, she's making silly faces, sticking out her tongue, looking tired, grumpy, upset. Like, yes, being and older woman is the worst thing so i can't smile.
Def using the aging filter... boo on her!
I’m 49 years old and can confirm Chloe is full of crap.
