[quote=Anonymous]I get your point but none of this is related.

Glass skin is really only achievable for the very few who have poreless skin (or undetectible pores), which some people do. For those who want to mimic it, it's a hell of a lot of primer and reflective moisturizer. Which can cause breakouts because both of those things clog pores.

Lip injections are filler, which don't come off in the morning (lol!) and can be done in away that is really natural and/or corrective, or can be overdone in a way that is exaggerated and silly looking (like the Kardashian look).

Botox is a neuromodulator, which freezes wrinkles, but not always completely (arguably, it should not freeze completely). Like filler, it gets a bad wrap for being overdone, which some people do, and then they start to look like everyone else who does it and it becomes an easy to recognize "look" that makes people get on social media and say "I cAn TeLl wHeNeVer SomEonE hAs BoTox iTs so ObViOuS!" which is not actually true. This seems more common in younger women who really do not need it, because it fixes their face in a way that only happens in women of a certain age. You might also notice it in women over 50 or 60 because...they should have wrinkles. For women in middle age who don't over do it, that's the sweet spot when used with a lighter touch.

Anyway, yes, the pressure in certain circles to look a certain way has gotten ridiculous. Social media has made it so much worse. But this has always been the case in certain circles. Now, it's just becoming popular with more invasive procedures (maybe not even less expensive, since highlights and certain brands were never cheap). [/quote]
