To wonder what’s going on with all the big lips

[Laurendelaney1987]

Everywhere I go I see women with massive lips. It looks like so many women are wearing lip fillers.

i totally get that if you’re someone with really thin lips then you may want to plump them up, but I see this look on lots of women from their 20s to 60s.

I have not seen any 'pressure' where they show trout lips looks good, so where does the pressure come from?

people keep on blaming 'society' when they cant think for themselves but never tell us where advertisement, influences, models etc. just doing something connects the general public to feel they have to do it too

People use ''well I feel pressure to make ridiculous choices to my body because I follow people who do it and can't stop reading fashion magazines or have friends who do or watch endless tv with people who look like manequins on them, I can't think for myself' but really?

This might be one of the most misogynistic comments on the thread.

Agree, not a new thing.

It’s not a good look especially when they are so plumped up they can’t close their lips. It makes them look gormless.

You got the wrong poster. It was a different poster saying ‘yawn’ etc.

I have 19 and 22y daughters. Busy with university and new jobs. They don’t have any fillers or procedures and neither do any of their friends. Not one. They like dressing up and putting makeup on for nights out and that’s it. They also do not like the look of the fillers at all.

I think if kids are busy and have other big aspirations, they may not see cosmetic procedures as a priority. And also it’s peer pressure. None of their friends are doing this stuff so they are not tempted to either.

And all the young people I see going in and out of my house look absolutely gorgeous with no need for these fillers.

It’s more subtle though. If everybody around you has these lips, and all the people you follow on social media do, even if they’re not pushing them, you may think it is the look to go for. It will change your idea of beauty I guess and make you want to achieve that look.

It has always been thus with beauty standards. Of course not everyone is affected. I am in my 50s and I’m happy ageing as I am, and my young adult daughters for now want to stay clear of ‘work’ . But it is because of none of us are surrounded by people who have this work done. If we were, maybe we would also be tempted.

So parents should be encouraging children not to be sheep and have encourage friends what have higher intelligence

Well if grown adults are following this dreadful trend, I am not sure there is much hope for the many younger people surrounded by this stuff.

have encourage friends what have higher intelligence The irony of this poorly-written phrase has amused me though!

Not true at all! What a strange comment.

Glad to be of service

I was on holiday in Turkey. One day in the pool there was a woman with MASSIVE lips and an unnatural looking bum. She looked like Jessica Rabbit. I couldn’t stop staring. I think she’d originally have been very attractive. But she looked bloody wierd.

Say what, now?🤔

Wow! You win the misogyny prize on this thread.

I’m guessing you have ‘the look’ being discussed here?

For ‘plain and boring’, I’ll read ‘natural and understated’.

I just hope these sad women won’t be expecting the NHS to fund their corrective procedures in the future.

It’s totally a feminist issue. The pps saying “It’s none of your business’ just don’t get it. Either that, or they take pride in sacrificing their beauty and individuality to keep their gruesome men happy.

In that case - many apologies, MapWall.

Sometimes I think lip fillers end up making your lips look like hemorrhoids. You have to be careful.

What is older mum hype?

I think the same about heavy tattoos and facial piercings.

I'm inclined to agree with you. The way @Feelinglost10 keeps defending the look makes you think so, doesn't it. I also think she is completely missing the point.

Rather than defending “the look” I’m actually defending a woman’s right to look however she likes without other insecure women putting them down. If this was a post on fat people and how disgusting and lazy that “look” was there would be outcry. For me, a woman can do whatever she likes with her own body and face and if that’s what makes HER feel beautiful why does anyone else feel they have the right to judge?! It’s pretty embarrassing

And why do you care what “look” I have or any other woman for that matter? I’m not asking to date you, I’m not asking to put filler in your face, I don’t even know you exist on the planet or that you breathed air. This is the problem with half the people on this forum, too much time on their hands and too many opinions

If they saw what they looked like from the side absolutely hideous stuck out like a duck billed platypus. If they're going out of fashion that's good news hopefully the camel eyelashes and thick eyebrows will go out too. Whatever happened to natural beauty.

Actually you can’t guarantee that, I know several women/girls who do spend a proportionate amount of time on a night out, slagging off people who don’t appear to have had any work down on their face, and yes they are plain and boring and what’s wrong with them omg look at what they’re wearing is all that comes out of their mouth. Mind I do live in an affluent area where they all look identical barbie..you choke on aftershave and perfume and it’s so bloody shallow it’s unreal. And sadly they are shallow in their heads to.

You seriously think that women who dislike the look of overly inflated lips so their top lip curls over, teamed with eyelashes that look like overweight spiders are insecure? I saw someone looking like that yesterday and thought thank goodness I don't look like that.

And you think people here have too much time on their hands and too many opinions? News: it's a discussion board.
