Lovelyish

it’s easy to say “OMG THAT’S SO CRAZY!!” but is it really? as women we will go to extreme measures to look beautiful – i don’t care what part of the world you are from. & what is beautiful to one may not be to another. some of the products above seem a bit misleading – i’m a little skeptical about if they will really slim your face but i do think that they will help with other skin problems such as redness .

i think it’s funny that these are ASIAN stresses for defining “beauty” yet none of the products are represented BY an asian person!!

Asian standards for “beauty” is a bit weirdly put. They like having slimmer face but also, they want ASIAN girls/women when they have big eyes (almost Sailor Moon influence, non-Asian eyes), which doesn’t occur NATURALLY all the time. Although, the face roller thing… I’m skeptical about….

too much pain for me~
some people say that if you bite hard, and then those cheek muscles will come out, and if you press on those muscles like, 5-10 minutes a day
in a few weeks those muscles will go away (which kinda makes your face look slimmer)

but too much pain for me
no thank you XDDD

ahhh i’m pretty happy with my face. it’s good enough.
[need to do something about those eyelids though XD]

I’m Chinese, but I didn’t live in Asia very long– I lived in Singapore for a while, before moving to the USA, so maybe I’m looking at this from an American perspective, but that girl looks so creepy!
Her eyes are gigantic in her teeny face.. very disturbing to me!
Leave your faces the way they are, please!

or they can do the infamous myspace angles to try to have the illusion of a slimmer for a while in pics.

THe first girl look like a human figurine of an anime character, or umm a 4 year old. The second is not asian. It’s really sad. I think asian women are beautiful.

Just lose weight or photoshop your pics. ;D

They probably think we’re weird for sitting in a bed that emits UV rays and damages our skin and body…just to look darker. so i think we can’t really be all like “omg so weird.” “wtf” and such. Beauty  varies differently between cultures. They’re ideal beauty is a slim face, so they have different measures/ways of attaining that ideal for themselves. Just like, as i previously said, (generally) our cultures ideal of beauty is tan bronze skin, and we too have many different ways of attaining that (tanning bed, tanning lotion, bronzing powder, etc) 

Xiaxue? That woman’s done plastic surgery up the wazoo. If her face looks slimmer, it’s because she admittedly photoshops the hell out of her pics. Also, some Asian women get the coveted V-line (oval face) through surgery. I do like a slimmer face because my face is so round, but I accept what I have.

thats why asian chicks are way hotter than others.

@heart_leigh@xanga - I use my hair to cover up lot of my face. lol

I have a fat face. I dont think slimming products would work. I just need to lose weight

No matter how skinny I get, my cheeks are always chubby. I don’t really mind, though.

That’s cool, completely different from any american beauty ritual.

LOL! ASIA! YOU KILL ME AHAHAAA

There’s no way I’m ever going to alter my face . I kind of like it.

That girl in the first picture is gorgeous…

that girl in the first picture is freaking me out. why are her eyes the size of an owl’s? please stop staring at me.

@BimmerPhile@xanga - I think so too! 

Regardless of what some people in Asia do for beauty, everyone else has their shit that other’s consider weird. I don’t even care what people do to themselves anymore. If it really makes them happy, that’s cool. The only thing I really don’t like is when it becomes an obsession. But that’s none of my business. Overall, I unfortunately don’t see these products working very well. I think to really achieve that look, you’ll have to do plastic surgery. 

I agree with some of the above commenters. It would be easy to write this off as extreme, but every culture has its “extreme” aspects of beauty :p

My face has a funny shape. From the front, it appears very round because my jaw and cheek bones are about the same width across, but when I turn my face gets a very sharp angle because the plane of my cheek is actually very flat. I like that sometimes my face looks round and chubby and other times angled :3

@BimmerPhile@xanga - I agree, I think she’s beautiful!

The girl in the top photograph has had her jaw reshaped, nose done, had the double-eye lid surgery and is wearing circle lenses. Not that it’s bad, just that you can tell.

@evangeliaaa@xanga - eye surgery and circle lenses.

Lol! OMG! I LOVE Xiaxue. she’s sooo freakin’ funny. But I have not seen her videos in years and MY oh MY what a transformation. Ll. 

Different cultures really are so different.  I have a naturally oval face, and as a result, my cheekbones are mostly non-existent.  Fortunately, I don’t carry a lot of extra weight, so my face looks slim, but whenever I gain any weight, I just get an immediate double chin because it has nowhere to go!  I’d LOVE to have a face that has some cheekbones to prevent sagging skin/fat – especially when I get older!

@july37@xanga - I do the same thing with my hair. I tend to bring it forward covering my cheeks most of the time.

@heart_leigh@xanga - I don’t really do it on purpose, it’s just the way my hairline falls 

Is cellulite on your face something people really need to worry about? :/

These are all so dumb.

The lotion and the rollers don’t seem very extreme to me. Don’t think I could sleep like that though.

@articulate_silence@xanga - LOL we have like the same face. I didn’t know how to describe my face before I read your comment but yeah.. pretty much sums it up.

Yeah bitch at the Asians for massaging their faces and etc. But look at us Americans. I mean helloooo, Heidi Montag ring a bell? 

People who do such extreme things (rollers to their face, face bras, or surgery) kinda scare me whatever culture they come from.  The rest of the world (some of us in America even) may not be happy about every aspect of our bodies/faces but we accept it and are still happy people.  

To me, that look is cute, but not really sexy.  I rather have stronger features.  Her chin looks really short.  She looks like she’s 8 years old.  Maybe I feel that way because I don’t live in Korea.  But I am Korean.  I wonder if this slim face, big eyes and small nose look is to try to bring them closer to Caucasian beauty.  Because typical Asian features, as we all know, consist of a round face with small eyes and a rounder nose.

Asians are just hot period. >>

I think big, alien looking eyes are gorgeous!

The face roller and face belt might work for preventing wrinkles and sagging, but to get a slimmer face you’ll have to lose weight. If you’re already thin, you’ll just have to contour your face.

@TiredSoVeryTired@xanga - Wow are you serious?! Americans may not care for a slimmer face, but some of the fat ones are going through surgery for a slimmer body. People in ALL cultures interalize some or all aspects of society’s beauty standards and will go to extremes to achieve it.

lol I have the face roller at home, I use it every night before I sleep
