Cut glass jawlines on women

I’m starting to notice more and more that modern beauty standards encourage a razor sharp jawline. I’m not sure if it’s me imagining things but has it always been like this? Actresses like Margot Robbie, who is undoubtedly very beautiful has literally no fat whatsoever on her jawline. Looking at other celebs that are the modern standard of beautiful they all seem to have this same trait - Kylie Minogue, Angelina jolie etc. Is it artificial? Are they getting the fat sucked out from under their chins? Or do they all happen to be like this naturally? I don’t know anyone is real life with jawlines like theirs.

I don’t think it’s a new thing, people have been contouring jawlines for years and years, before that people would use tape to pull the skin back behind their ears to make their jaw appear more sharp.

but who cares? Some women are more fortunate with their features than others. Just work with what you’ve got🤣

Yep. I have a slightly weak chin and seem to be surrounded by women with really pointed little chins and no fat or skin on their neck whatsoever. Depressing!

You have far much time on your hands to even notice this…

This. Makeup, great lighting and tweakments plus genetics.

Omg yawn.

Stop noticing stop commenting.

It's a form of policing womens bodies.

It's most likely filler or surgery. Makes someone money makes women feel shit not to look like it.

Maybe if we all stop commenting all this lunacy will stop and women can just you know live without endless commentary making them feel shit and fueling the cycle.

It’s filler generally, though some people will have it naturally
