Sick of the Love Island aesthetic

[Raspberryclouds]

Don't know what else to call it, and don't want to name names or post pictures of people as that's unfair but it's everywhere and makes me feel inadequate.
They've all got a tan, gleaming white teeth, microbladed eyebrows, mermaid hair (they never have short hair like me!)
Plump lips, false eyelashes, freckles, perfect cheekbones and perfect figures, flawless skin. Oh and all have these perfect tiny noses whereas mine is wide.
I know a lot of it is Instagram/filters but most of them look the same in reality.

I feel like some sort of potato in comparison because it seems that this is what's considered attractive. I live in Manchester city centre and there are ten a penny slim, statuesque stunning women with long flowing hair going on a night out.
I didn't think I was awful, but just feel so basic and unremarkable.
I can't afford to get consistent beauty treatments, eyelashes are expensive, I put a fake tan on myself but can't afford constant spray tans, constant teeth whitening and so on.
I need to learn to be happier with what I've got, but just feel so dull, does anyone else feel like this.

Really? Blimey, if I could wake up with a perfect body, gorgeous hair and a pretty 25 year old face, I'd not be refusing. The lip fillers go down eventually, I could lose the tan and eyebrows and be delighted with myself! The 'enhancements' might be OTT and poorly executed, but underneath all that these women are much better looking than average.

@5128gap But she's talking about that specific look, with the duck lips and tan etc.

I'm not sure they are. They're just wearing a ton of make-up. Some of the LI contestants (male and female) clearly spend a lot of time in the gym and have the bodies to show for it.

But I don't think they're anything special in terms of having a more attractive face.

One thing I would say is that I know for a fact that a lot of these people are in debt to look the way they do. My trainee at work has got nearly all of her work done on finance. They will come to regret it when they are older I'm sure.

They are just a bunch of young people are naturally beautiful.

Well, if you consider generations of inbreeding, to exaggerate freakish features, which stop them breathing properly, prevent them from being able to give birth etc natural....
