Full lips make you look younger
There’s a new study that says full lips make you look younger.
Makes sense…Just think of babies with their plump, round plump lips. Softer bigger lips are more youthful….but only to a point!
Your lips have got to match your face!
The problem is many women see their lips thinning and rush out and get lip fillers only to end up with “trout pout”…you know, those crazy lips that make you look like you’ve been sucking on a sour lemon and had an allergic reaction! Totally bizarre, unnatural and not youthful or attractive at all.
| Just look at Nicole Kidman. |  |
| Daryl Hannah |  |
| Melanie Griffith |  |
| Cher |  |
The list goes on… Can fillers like this ever work? Are we being unfair and just highlighting the bad cases?
If you’ve ever had your lips enhanced, let us know how they worked out. Did it work for you? Would you do it again?
Our feeling is, what’s so wrong with thinner lips? Just like, what’s wrong with smaller breasts? They’re beautiful and elegant. If you keep your lips moisturized and soft, use pretty lip glosses and soft lipstick shades, they’ll look beautiful.
This frenzy around having to have humongous breasts and lips the size of overinflated party balloons is actually gross. It’s bound to pass in a few years, and then we’ll all be looking back and laughing at how trashy and cartoon-ish women looked.
Bigger is not always better. Subtlety and elegance is the key to looking fabulous in Chapter 2 of life.
This was a suprise, your site has always been a classy little number,with real information.I wonder where you found the worst possible pictures of these accomplished women,the Enquiror perhaps? I hope this isn’t a harbinger of future blogs.We really do get enough of this kind of_____ already!
Great article…I couldn’t agree with you more!!
I have to agree with you. I think that filler enhanced lips always look unnatural…
Hi Esther,
We hear what you are saying, but the fact is that so many women turn to the stars for inspiration. The point we are trying to make is when they take trying to look young to an extreme it looks awful. There are no shortages of women looking like this. Accomplished or not, too much is too much!
I agree I think that lip enhancement “almost” always looks fake and unflattering. Lisa Rinni is another example. Her lips are not botox which will diminish with time, she did silicone so her lips will stay like that forever.
The posting of the women above is not really fair as the before pictures look like they were also much younger. Were they?
Fuller lips do indeed help your face look younger and when you use a vacuum rather than injections, you are more likely to appreciate the enhancement. The photos above reveal faces that have been injected and injected again; the combination spells disaster and the look of old is accentuated.

I agree, I live in So. California and am sooo tired of women over 35 with watermelon sized breasts and intertube lips on skelatal figures – not at all sexy, but very sad. The other sad thing is half of them have daughters, what a bizarre example to set for them. Let’s hope they rebel and prefer natural beauty!
Hi Shelley,
Wow…interesting point you have there… what kind of example are we sending our daughters!! YIKES.. we might see a backlash to plastic surgery in the next generation who will probably find it hard to afford and not want to be as extreme. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out!
Hi Cynthia,
We have seen your product (on the Rachael Rae show) and it does work and is a natural alternative to this! Good to hear your voice!

Oh lighten up! Filler doesn’t ALWAYS look unnatural. 14 months ago, I had Restylane injected into my nasolabial fold, below my eyes, into the philcrum and a a touch to enhance my cupid’s bow. This was all with one vial (very subtle). My husband was in the waiting room. He had no clue! The results still look great. I will have it done again when necessary. I am 46 years old.
I agree completely with this and PREACH to my friends all the time – the number procedure that looks fake is lip injections! AND, if people know you have lip injections they probably think you’ve had everything done (even if you haven’t!)
Good call!!
Scary pix but real!! thanks for sharing this
Did they pay for this? It amazes me that as a woman of color and being teased about my full lips this is now a “popular” look because Hollywood now says it’s beautiful! Good thing I don’t look to Hollywood for affirmation.
As with everything, we shoud know when to stop.
Hi Dianne,
Thanks for writing in. We hope you are feeling great that after all that teasing, full lips are in style! We are sure yours look beautiful, since they are natural!
It is tough these days for women, since the media is always trying to tout that we be skinnier, more beautiful, ect… We Glam Gals are here to inspire women to look their best with what the body they already have. We are not pro or con plastic surgery, we like to throw it out there to here what others think and get a conversation going. It is important we talk about it and not stuff all these feelings we have inside!
Hi Halyna,
Yep!!!
What fuels our need to look younger and younger? Is fear or insecurity to blame for the plastic surgery myth that beauty is more important than self love and acceptance? When I look at Hollywood, I see women who are screaming for help. Nicole Kidman, Daryl Hannah, Cher, Melaine Griffith are each beautiful women who should have left well enough alone. What ever happened to embracing the women we have become through life experience? I take excellent care of myself.. I’m told I don’t look 49 but more like 35.. I am a single woman who has learned to love myself,live in the moment and embrace my imperfections and celebrate. I believe it was Charles Dickens who said,
“Cheerfulness and contentment are great beautifiers and are famous preservers of youthful looks.”
Ladies look within… you have been blessed with all you need to live your life with intensity and purpose!
How tall is Daryl Hannah anyway?:~;
