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

Eek, watching tv these days it's a sea of huge symmetrical bright white veneers.
So many of them look like they have got a teeth guard in when they are sucking on them.
Most of them just look really terrible and I dread to think what their long term teeth issues will be.
Add in the huge lips and filler faces and really it's a bit black mirror with all these faces looking the same. I know the lip filler can be dissolved but is that the same for all over the face? Will people be able to go back to how they were before once the filler blindness passes?
I've been watching old movies and the difference with natural teeth is quite something, it changes the natural shape of your face and everyone looks more individual .
Aibu or will it all look so dated in ten years and all these huge horsey veneers go out of fashion?
Or am I just getting old Grin

Why would you want to look like Bingo from The Banana Splits?

LOL

Watched a film last night called the testament of youth .The lead actress was so naturally beautiful in such a simple uncluttered way that young girls are. No need for all the fakery it’s so sad really.

I'm a woman but why shouldn't I comment on what other women look like? Why should I be nice about other women, whatever age or class they are?
I stand by any woman's choice to look however she wants, but they need to be aware that certain looks are going to invite comment and the lip filler and veneers look is one of those.
Age and class are inextricably intertwined with certain aesthetics and it's absolutely true that overly filled lips, bright white veneers, heavy fake tan etc are much more represented in young women of the lower classes.

The virtue-signallers know all that full well, but their smugness and disingenuity keeps them warm at night!

So many people acting as if they can't see the difference between Bet Lynch and Marion Cotillard!

Agreed. It's absolutely revolting and pathetic. It reeks of insecurity too. Anyway, fuck this thread and all those who sneer on it. I'm out of here.

It’s not about insecurity.

Insecurity is grinding your perfect teeth down for veneers. They look stupid. They really do. As many other unnecessary changes to your face. Some are dangerous, and it will be a future problem for many. It’s good to talk about it.

Shame on you thin lippers for firstly emulating fuller lips that are a natural endowment and often an ethnic feature for some of us, and then spitefully and hypocritically turning around to demean and mock what we have!

You can never be us that are born this way, no matter what you inject 💋 I'm sorry for you 😄 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

😂😂😂

I feel sorry for YOU because you have a much higher lipstick bill than me! 😂💄💄💄

Oh no, imagine looking lower class, how awful it must be to look like a completely normal social class.

We must have different definitions of normal. To me, normal for a young person is no filler.

I would love to see a pic of the women on this thread who are getting overly emotionally invested in what other women look like.
I don't like the look either, but some of the comments on here are disgusting. Alot of them are clearly old enough to know better! You hate it, okay? No need to rip young girls apart and bring class into it. You are showing yourself to be ugly, on the inside at least, which is far worse than some blown up lips.

I disagree. Their mothers should be helping them look refined, not cheap. It's not just a matter of preference, like red hair versus brunette, it's a look that is recognised in our culture as lower-class. And who wants to look like that? If they don't get it, someone should show them. They should all come to Noisy's School for Refination! 😂

I think most young people look so much nicer with their natural features. People zoom in on one feature - say, thin lips - and decide it needs to be different. But most often, it suits their face the way it is naturally.

With all this overtly fake stuff around - fake eyebrows, fake lips, fake eyelashes, thick makeup - it's actually easier to stand out from the crowd by looking fresh and natural, and by doing far less! The looks we've been discussing must be very time-intensive, not to mention costly.

I blame social media with its filters and pneumatically filled influencers.

Remember when Friends was in its second season, everyone knew about it by then, and everyone thought the women were gorgeous and none of them had trout pout? They all looked like individuals.

Sorry- to add- women have fought for the right to do things for themselves and you’d think we’d come a long way…

Yet here’s 12 pages full of (presumably) women trying to tear others to shreds for having a different idea of what makes them feel good. Nice.

What a disgusting thread.

The horror of looking "lower class" and "chavvy".

Well, who wants to look lower class and chavvy? I certainly don't! I want to look as refined and tasteful as possible! (Which doesn't have to be expensive. Less is more, and Maybelline will do just fine; doesn't have to be Charlotte Tilbury.)

They are definitely on their way out with the younger generation. My 7 and 11 year old kids dressed up for Halloween with bad hair extensions, fake nails, lashes, tan, caterpillar eyebrows, overlined lips and OTT makeup. They even practiced the walk and talk (IYKYK). If kids this age are taking the piss out of 20 somethings, then I have hope a less horrible look will come back sooner rather than later. BTW they were hilarious and the comments from some of the people who answered their doors were priceless. One said "Oh, you've come dressed a kid from School (a nearby school with TikTok kids hanging around local bus stops).

Because this is true... 🙄

What’s your definition of lower-class?

See my reply above to WorminLabyrinth. I expect you'll have a nice smug sleep tonight after your daily virtue-signal.

Oh come on, you incorrigible virtue-signaller. Don't pretend you can't see the difference between Waynetta and Kate Middleton's presentation. And you don't have to have her money to present with natural makeup and non-tarty clothes.

No need to be a misogynistic twat though, that's really not a good look for any woman.

Nothing misogynistic about pointing out the difference between a refined aesthetic and a lower-class one. I'd say the same about men covered in tattoos and wearing jeans below their bums, but the thread isn't about that. Looking like a chav is certainly not limited to women.

YouAreOne · 02/11/2024 19:52

I have a friend who I grew up with, she shared some photos of her 18yo daughter recently, I remember her as a gorgeous baby.

I felt genuinely gutted to see photos of her at 18 on insta. She's had lips blown up and eyebrows tattooed. She looks horrific. I was genuinely shocked. A gorgeous young girl has ruined her face with filler and dark eyebrow tattoos.

Obviously I didn't say anything, but it's terrifying. Sure in the 90s we over plucked our eyebrows and I had green hair and wore ripped dodgy fishnets. But the way young women are doing permanent damage to their faces freaks me out.

Auburngal · 02/11/2024 19:09

It’s the fake lashes that look like you have 20 spiders’ legs on them are tacky

Auburngal · 02/11/2024 19:08

These bright white teeth which actually glow in the dark and over botoxed lips are horrible.

My teeth are stained, got half a tooth missing on a premolar - was quoted £3100 to get it fixed. No I rather have a bottle of gin every other day for the next year!

I also think tattoos may not be popular. Do people have tramp stamps now? People had them done about 20 years ago and regent them.
