Big Lips

Catastrophe — Fri, 29 Dec 2023 14:15:47 GMT

What are your opinions on the look of the fat lips a lot of women are getting?

I myself and my guy. Think they look ridiculous and so many ruin their looks permanently.

I wish my lips were not disappearing as they have. I put lipstic k on and it's so hard to see. What happens to our lips that they sink in, disappear on us, I don't know. I wouldn't mind having a little botox puff to give back the lips I once had - nothing huge but enough so I know I have lips again.

I wish my lips were more full. If I wasn't a chicken, I'd get something done.

@rochelleS got her lips done and posted a pic on the beauty forum. Her's were perfectly done. Just the right amount.

I agree that some women go overboard.

I'm glad I don't feel the need to resort to surgery and injections and whatever. I am glad I am happy enough with the way I look, and that my livelihood and self esteem depend on my looks.

What a blessing! I feel sorry for people who chase youth as they age. I know some have to, just glad I don't!

To me, it reveals vanity and perhaps shallowness and perpetuates an unhealthy obsession with youth and a lack of grace for getting older.

@San Antonio Gal @rochelleS did have a very good and natural outcome. She was going to post a pic of her sister's results, but she never did. ...at least I don't think she did. Did I miss it?

About 10 or so years ago I got a little filler in my top lip. My bottom has always been full and I was just trying it out to see how they'd look balanced out. For some strange reason, I ended up looking like my front teeth were bucked out for awhile lol. I never tried any again. Ive seen many that look beautiful and really natural. Some however, go wayyy too overboard.

I have fuller lips yet and I'm in my early 70's. I must say that most do look silly because it is over done.

@tends2dogs - I haven't seen a picture posted of her sister yet. I look forward to seeing the results! She'll probably post it in the beauty forum though.

While I think naturally full lips are beautiful, I do wish mine were fuller but I too am too chicken to do anything like that.

I have a cousin who did Botox on areas of her face. After it wore off, she didn't look so good. She wished she would have never done it. Her before Botox face looked better than after it wore off in a few months. That's enough for me!

I don't think anyone that has surgery or beauty enhancements is chasing youth. Many just want to improve their appearance.

I think they're hideous. And sometimes they look lumpy.

@Catastrophe I have never had an urge to look like a cartoon guppy. Viewing some public figures some do, or it is a suprise when they pay all that money then look in the mirror. I have seen some public figures that can barely speak right afterwards.

I think 'puffiness' calms down on some people . I noticed on the Kennedy honors Meg Ryan did look a bit more normal than photos published of her soon after she had all of that 'work' done a few years ago.

I suppose it is a gamble. Personally, I think putting one's $s into healthy food, good health care,lotions and potions, and avoiding direct sun exposure can go a long way to staving off aging looks.

What I want is for my lips to look like they did when I was younger. Today my lips are almost invisible so I have considered getting them filled with a cosmetic injectable but a medical condition I have won't allow it...boo-hoo.

@monicakm It was unbearable! Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably the entire time! They only rub a little lidocaine on the area, which does NOTHING & give you stress balls to squeeze!

@San Antonio Gal The upper lip was nearly UNBEARABLE! They just rub a tiny amount of lidocaine and give you stress balls to squeeze. Tears just automatically stream from your eyes the entire time

I have an older cousin....in her 70s now, who is very petite and was born with lips that fit right into this current trend. I remember feeling sorry for her years ago.

Interesting to look at some of the royals on The Court Jeweler page. I was taken aback by this beautiful lady who obviously had no false lashes or lip fillers.

I think those blown-up fat lips look ridiculous, it's just a fad anyway.

I have naturally 'puffy' full lips, and enhance them a bit with lip liner, which is the best way to make lips look a little fuller and change their shape.

Also, putting a swipe of a light pearly lipstick on both upper and lower lips on top of your regular lipstick in the center will give the impression of fuller lips.

Another trick is to coat your lips with vaseline before bedtime to keep them hydrated and fuller.

Lots of ways to change your lip structure without all that fakery!
