Just when you thought you’d seen it all, beauty vloggers come along to remind you that there are an infinite number of bizarre ways to apply makeup.

To illustrate an article about the ‘over-55s’ downsizing, someone at the Times decided to use a stock photo. A stock photo of an elderly woman who is definitely not 55 years old.
