Page 6 | To wonder what’s going on with all the big lips

Laurendelaney1987 · 2025-08-19T07:31:05+00:00

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 regularly see a young woman who has had her lips inflated to comic proportions. They look like two glistening pink sausages. The lip gloss she wears always looks patchy, perhaps due to them being over inflated?

She has a uniform of pastel coloured outfits - pale pink, beige, cream and pastel blue that are matching top and bottom that are either skin tight or cropped sweatshirt and jogging bottoms.

she also has over inflated breasts and an unnaturally large backside which looks strange with her slim legs and waist.

She has long dyed matte black hair and massive fake eyelashes.

She has sported this look for at least three years.

Her husband looks like a normal bloke. I noticed that he has quite thin lips.

They have three daughters and it’s hard to see if there is any resemblance to their mother as she looks like a cartoon caricature but they do have a strong resemblance to their father including the thin lips.

I wonder if the girls will be influenced by her look and when they become teenagers will try to emulate this look.

People do stare at this woman as she’s quite startling to look at so I wonder if the children notice or she thinks she is receiving glances of admiration?

The lips actually make me wince, they look so painful and uncomfortable.

I found this photo online but they are identical to what this woman has except for this woman has patches of red. It must be the look she wants as over the years they look the same.

Edited

If you squint they actually do look like raw cocktail sausages 😂

I wanted to post a picture of a baboon's arse but then I remembered that images need to be checked first so thought I'd spare the poor mod's eyes. But yes that.

I know exactly what you mean - pumped up lips have the same effect on me!

But I’m very grateful that you didn’t post that pic. A baboon’s backside is pretty X-rated in my opinion! I guess other baboons feel differently.

beadystar · 19/08/2025 12:51

I only know one that’s been done well (a friend who was open about it). She had basically no lips and had them filled to be thin lips. They look better.
However last week I saw a girl whose lips protruded past her nose in side profile, like a weird doll. Mostly they look obvious and cheap.

I suspect in fact that they very much feel the same about it 😂

Big lips are going out of fashion, apparently.

Good

It’s nice to be on holiday and see local women looking normal, like we did 20-30 years ago. Yes there’s the odd one with fillers, but my God the number of British young women who have gone down the route of lip fillers (and false teeth) is bamboozling. They don’t look better.

I love watching documentaries and programmes from the 80s/90s where the women looked natural and all different.

Most women with big lips and big bottoms were African heritage, why the push for all of this?

Surely the standard beauty was the 90s supermodel, they were stunning without any ridiculous enhancements.

The "average girl" never seem to have been influenced by high fashion models I've noticed. In the days of the Supermodels I remember wondering why women seemed to still aim for a more Page 3 kind of look, and now they're gone the reality stars and Influencers have taken over that role. Even today fashion models are girls who are naturally beautiful without enhancement.

Its just a trend that is fading out.
The big brow.
The huge spider lashes.
Reduclious long fake nails.
A puffy face full of filler.
The older mum hype.
The skinny jab.
Awful fake tan.

Its down to others what they want but i think in due time some will see the effects it has. Sorry to say it but some have made their selfs look older.

Their selfs?

Have you never heard the word "themselves"?

I was a bit, as a teen. I unfortunately thought that was a desirable level of thinness.

CookingFatCat · 19/08/2025 13:07

It’s the same face trend, contouring, make up and brows and lips all look identikit like blow up dolls.

Beauty standards from the bloody Kardashian’s.
I hope all their faces melt.

I do dread what the long term effects will be. I was saying upthread that I think (?) fillers don’t ever go away…they just go lumpy and gradually move around your face or body. I’d be heartbroken if my daughter went in for this look.

CoffeeCantata · 19/08/2025 13:48

Now I’m sticking my head over the parapet and you’re welcome to shoot me down, but I think this is more than an aesthetic issue. (puts on hard hat)

All fashion choices are a form of communication and these women are unfortunately pandering to the taste of the most horrible, sexist, misogynistic and shallow men - the sort who care only about appearance and who would prefer a sex-doll look to a real, individual, independently-minded woman.

If you set out to appeal to men like this you aren’t going to have a happy life.

This may offend some people but it’s my genuine belief.

I work in parent-infant relationships and non-verbal communication between parent and infant is extremely important for brain development. Serve and return eye contact, smiling, mimicking tongue pokes, frowning, wide eye recognition, gaze tracking etc literally creates neurotransmission and hard wires neural pathways that we rely on our entire lives for emotional processing, safety and recognising our kin.

Babies don't have verbal language to communicate and they don't understand language in the newborn stage so facial expression and eye contact interaction with the primary caregiver is vital. Plus they need to watch our speech as well as hear it to ensure word formation and conversational norms. Anything that interrupts or changes a primary caregivers face is difficult for infants (fillers, eyelashes, botox and lip changes all change the face) - have you seen how young children react when Dad's shave their beards or you put facial filters on your/their image? Children are impacted and sensitive to this and it would make a great PhD...in fact you have given me an idea for mine!

I took my ds to the dentist last week and all the young women working there had it done, I was really surprised but then wondered if they offered fillers at the dentist which was why they all had fillers.

Same at DS’s orthodontists - all 3 reception staff. All very obvious - total waste of money and potentially dangerous in my view.

I saw a woman in Aldi yesterday like this. Sat a child in the trolley, pushing it with one hand whilst having a conversation on her phone. She'd got overinflated lips especially the top lip that was curled up and made her look deformed.

Topped off with stretchy nylonny leggings that scrunched up the crack of her (substantial) arse, and slides.

Yeah; that’s one “strain” of women I see with this lips done, the hard as nails type of woman (with the massive nails too). But also I see a few local successful business owners with the lips too. One of them was stunning without the work

I was served by a woman with blown-up lips in a shop once and she constantly licked them. It was really off-putting, seeing this tongue going round and round her swollen lips. Apparently the fillers distend the lips so that the areas which would naturally be inside the mouth are exposed to the air and dry up, which creates an uncomfortable sensation. Hence the constant licking. I think this is why some women with these li-lo lips smother them in gloss.

Show quote history

It's called a lip flip
A perfectly normal lovely woman in her 40s had it done at work.
It was horrific, she had to chair meetings, present data and she was slurring so badly and saliva kept coming out.

That's because fashion models aren't sexy. What do you want as a teen? To be desired. And if you aren't quite there yet, you want to look like the popular girls. And the cool girls want to be desired. So you all look like that.

It's been a look here for a good few years but It's the number of very young girls with the works that get me. I just want to shout:"WHERE'S YOUR FACE?" Because it's not theirs, is it? It's someone else's idea of beauty. And yes, I know, makeup etc etc, but there's room for playfulness and individuality with makeup. And sometimes I do the full hit and sometimes I don't. But it's always my face.

Yep- I am hearing impaired and fillers/botox make it very difficult for me to lip read. I struggle to hold a conversation. I first noticed about 15 years ago when I couldn’t understand one of the school mums I hadn’t seen in a while.

films I have to increasingly use subtitles as I can’t lip read most of the young actresses. Men fine though.

many of the young women I work with have all this done. Lips, Botox, fish sperm on their eyes? All sorts. Hundreds of pounds a month. They see it as “preventative” and believe they won’t age.

Personally I am expecting the opposite- Botox will paralyse your muscles, the muscles will waste if not used, then what will hold your skin up?

Anotherparkingthread · 19/08/2025 14:40

I have lip filler, the only person who's ever noticed it was filler was a gay man and even he wasn't sure.

It looks great on me. Fucking great. No duck lips. I will have it done again when this dissolves in time.

I'm not doing it for men, in the same brrath I'm not going to stop doing it for the people on here who find it ugly or despicable in some way. I'm doing it for me because I like it, and I don't give a shit what anybody else thinks - particularly the small minded and judgemental.
