To think in ten years all these huge veneers and huge lips will be seriously dated?

On holiday at the moment.
Got talking to a lovely young lady. Early 30's.

Fake hair, teeth,breasts and lips.
She was open about these things and said if there was anything to make her taller she would do it.

Yes she looks fantastic but I wonder what she will look like in a few years time.

I agree that French and Italian women, and definitely men, are on the whole so much more stylish than British women. Far more natural hair colour, not all the fake bleached hair with black roots. Hardly anyone walking around in tracksuits/leggings supporting the caked on makeup and huge duck lips look.
The men wore shirts and shoes, not those revolting tracksuits and grubby trainers.

An ugly outlook is an ugly outlook – but can be changed!

How crass going on and on about other people’s ‘ugly noses’!

Turn your gaze away from our big noses.

They are natural and beautiful to us.
Thank you

An ugly nose is an ugly nose, no matter what race or ethnicity,

So it's objective fact.

but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say!

Oh, wait. You are saying it's subjective?

A human organism is such a complicated thing, with so many physiological actions happening at micro level in every second for it to be living and healthy. All noses do the same job - unless unhealthy.
May be focusing on the miracle of that complexity next time and challenging ourselves to think that the bulbous ugly nose just is. Neither ugly nor beautiful. Most of beauty is just a social construct after all.

We live for such a short time. We don't want some of us to feel unhappy and judged all their lives because they have a perfectly good nose, that they did not pick, and which society has randomly labelled as ugly.
I do hope you are happy with the nose that your genes determined for you @Bignanna

It’s up to them- if they’re happy with their nose-fine! An ugly nose is an ugly nose, no matter what race or ethnicity, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say!

@Bignanna
Agree, Princess Diana was an example of this, but if it’s bulbous it’s definitely not a good look!

Features of your face will differ according to your heritage. Have you decided only people of certain race/ethnicity have the right looking nose?

I agree. DD is not interested in emulating anyone else. Also with her medical background she has no intention of doing so.

Its the pillow face, shiney forehead, fake eyelashes, trout pout, massive eye brows, bright white fake teeth too big for the mouth most look like a horse. It looks laughable now. Its definitely something we will look back on and take the piss out of!

grow old gracefully. Be individual ✌️

As a mother of a now adult daughter, I can absolutely guarantee that as your daughter grows up she will be influenced in how she should look by people who have nothing to do with her. She will see popstars, models, celebrities, people in the street, all of whom she doesn't know, and will want to wear clothes like them or have a hairstyle like them. You're being naive if you think she won't.

Fortunately, you can't guarantee that because fortunately in the real world most girls and young women aren't obsessed with emulating 'slebs'.

If the owner of the big nose( bulbous or not) has no issue with it then two fingers to the person who has an issue with it.
Be proud of your face and don't change because others think it is 'not a good look.'
They can cast their gaze eyes elsewhere if it offends them.

Agree, Princess Diana was an example of this, but if it’s bulbous it’s definitely not a good look!

Agree! I think some of the most beautiful people have a prominent nose and striking profile. It’s a cool look.

💯
Nowt wrong with a big nose.

Depends if you’re happy with your big nose!

The issue is that people are overdoing it and it looks really bad! Less is better always

She got really ill, and the NHS did wind up having to foot the bill for the repair.

The NHS should not have to deal with the results of cosmetic procedures not done on the NHS, by doing so they are propping up the rogue practitioners. If someone can find the funds to have the work done then they should also pay for their 'aftercare'.

I disagree. I think recognising your own beauty and celebrating it vocally is an act of radical rebellion in a world which makes money from telling women they’re ugly and flawed and need to fix their bodies.

And they then moan about the cost of living!

Wow..worth a read for anyone considering it...

@AllTheChaos Invisalign are still quite painful early on and very intrusive in terms of feeling them in your mouth all the time. I would not say they represent a good alternative for people with very sensitive mouths/issues with this, you also have to have the 'pegs' which hook on the invsalign braces cemented onto your teeth, similar to normal braces, as that's how they move the teeth over time.

I'm just letting you know that as I hated my invisalign braces the first two days and thought I would never be able to tolerate them, I couldn't believe how awful they were when they looked quite comfy! I did stick with the treatment and I'm very happy with the result, but someone with sensory issues might not be able to tolerate them at all.

It's very gauche to call yourself hot mate.

The NHS provide braces where the placement of teeth means oral hygiene or eating is compromised.

And I love my Asian nose, it suits my face and I think I look pretty hot.

So the whole thread pretty much agrees that people look better with their natural features and should stop messing with their appearance, but that doesn't apply if you have a naturally big nose? In that case, your natural features are ugly and you should have to pay to get it fixed? (Spoken as someone who did inherit their Dad's enormous hooter.)

They all look related.
