To wonder if this look will ever die?

[Faye12345]

The ultra tanned,hair extension, excess make up look. It seems that where i live if you dont have this look you are almost looked down upon! Its expensive and alot of effort and i think im quite attractive the way i am! Rant over

Just to add, the tan look won't ever fully go.

I lived on sunbeds pre 2005, I'm glad that younger women are opting for false tan, even if they look "orangey".

If you like the way you look, whatever your style is, that's all that matters, it's a shame that people suffer from a lack of confidence, or low self esteem and feel the need to judge others.

I am proud of my pale skin, natural hair and eyebrows (plucked moderately) and those fucking fake eyelashes make me cringe so hard! They are awful! A bit of mascara and eye liner is ENOUGH!!

Calm As regards posh surfer, I dunno; she's very slim and generally healthy looking, she's got that that posh girl thing going on with nice teeth and skin and hair, she's very tanned at the moment from three weeks abroad and she's has that thing done where you get little natural looking wisps of blonde through dark hair.

She's a scruffy bugger though; wanders round in little denim shorts and flip flops and basically meeds a good hair brushing.

Cressida Bonas, that's the sort of vibe I mean.

I think the tone is mean as well.

Ok you don't like it. No one's asking you to wear their make up though are they?

I'd agree it's class and location specific. I don't see it much where I am, but then I live central London and no one look dominates particularly as it's such a melting pot. If you go to eg Croydon, different story. I don't see it in the younger women in my office either. I can't say it really bothers me; the frosted pink lipstick and baby blue eye shadow popular in my youth were fairly horrific looking back......

""A bit of mascara and eye liner is ENOUGH!""

If you get to decide that about me, what can I get to decide about you?

I wouldn't want to make that decision, though because I believe in Autonomy (even though I'd like developed countries to be 80% Vegan).

To each her own. I don't think it's a great idea because people will make all kinds of assumptions about you, but not everyone wants to look like Cressida Bonas.

we still have trousers tucked into socks and tracksuits as fashion.

That is as much practical as an aesthetic choice, it prevents anything you've robbed and shoved in your tracky bottom falling out the bottom of your trouser leg. Especially handy when being chased by the dibble.

Cressida Bonas, that's the sort of vibe I mean.

That's every bit a class and regional stereotype as the look described in the original post , at the posher universities that look is practically a uniform for upper middle class female students. A persistent one too, they were wearing it when I started my undergraduate degree in the late 1990s.

I was going to agree with you op until I read Birdsgottafly post.

I visited Liverpool for the. First time about 4 years ago and was blown away by how stylish everyone seemed.

It was daytime and I was shopping in the city with dd2.
We had a good look around, visited the Beatles museum and saw the Liver birds statues.

Everyone seemed to have made an effort with their appearance.
The women seemed elegant, no trackie bottoms or trainers in sight!

No swearing just people gliding along.

Not sure about the rest of 'the look' but the 'orange' just back from a fake sun holiday look has been around since the 80's. It is better than getting skin cancer so I don't see the harm in it and it's amusing to see

You're in the wrong part of liverpool. That bit just has tourists in it!!
I lived in liverpool for 4 years and yes, the women are very stylish, well groomed and dressed BUT they don't think twice about going shopping with their hair still in rollers or down the newsagents in their pyjamas and fake UGGs. They also go out with blokes who thing the height of fashion is a tracksuit, trainers and lots of bling.
Weird. But their choice. I'm sure they think I'm a miserable frump!

Going back to duckfaces, I always think Donald Trump does it perfectly:

Liverpudlian women all look the same though Birdsgottofly. One thing I always notice when there is how all the women look like clones of each other, same hair styles, same clothes, same make up. There seems to be very little individuality, each to their own but it's something that seems to be completely unique to the city. I've also been to Newcastle and it really isn't as bad up there as in Liverpool.

Oh, and no, not ALL Liverpudlian women dress the same! That's a silly thing to say. I have many friends in liverpool and so does my sister. None of them have fake tans or tattooed eyebrows!

I dislike this and also feel looked down on because I don't do it. I haven't been to a hairdresser's for about 8 years now because I always always always feel like a freak.

It's like you have to be into the newest, most popular look or they think you're being uppity. I'm not uppity at all, but I'm boring, old fashioned, and don't understand technical terms such as 'product'

Sigh

Laughing at all this talk of women in Liverpool and Newcastle.....I lived down South for twenty years before moving back to the. North East and I what I saw in Essex, London, Hertfordshire and Bucks was no better or worse than what was happening in the North.

OY! I'm in Liverpool, how ridiculous to say all Liverpool women look the same! I am pale as anything, eyebrows waxed but not dyed black, wouldn't be seen opening the front door to the postman in rollers and only get dressed up if I'm on a night out. Like 99% of the women I see every day.

Yes, there are some women who wear their rollers with pride during the day but so what? They aren't doing any harm and are probably lovely people. They probably don't judge me for going around in jeans, Converse and a ponytail.

Off topic here, but why is it called a fuck face?

I agree it looks bloody horrendous but ducks don't have pursed, rounded beaks?

In all honesty though, usually the girls with these wacky eyebrows and dulled up faces are the ones to compliment naturally beautiful women.

For example, (thanks to Benefit and not my own merits lol), I do have lovely naturally eyebrows with a good naturally thick shape. A girl who draws hers on and poses like a Rooney in every picture going bluntly came out with "you're so lucky to have those brows naturally omg".

I think people should dress as they please, but it is sometimes more than distasteful in the way they DO please.

I had the best day out in Liverpool yesterday, and didn't see one person in rollers!

Loved the watersports centre, just along from the Albert Dock, and had a great dinner in a circus themed restaurant, served by a lovely waitress with impressive eyebrows and the most beautiful smile .

I'm glad the WAG style hair extensions seem to be finally dying out. Cascading mermaid locks on a 40 something woman is a pretty naff look.

Although obviously if that's the look they love they should crack on. etc. etc.

Yay! A thread to criticise and judge other women!
