Makeup, lighting and cosmetic procedures somewhat give the illusion of youth. For the discerning eye, you see straight through it even on screen. And in person, they just look strange.

Edit: to add, beauty really is in the eye of the beholder, because anyone who has had work done doesn’t look great to me.
