Is it a sign of quarantine boredom or are people just going crazy? It could be both, but ‘wavy lips’ are a thing and it’s incredibly weird.
And we though ‘duck lips’ were a bad social media trend.
Girls on Instagram and Tik Tok are showing off lips that have a distinctly scalloped shape with several defined arches instead of a normal, human curve. They’re called “octopus lips” or “Russian lips” because the trend apparently started in Russia.
Is it real, or just an elaborate joke? No one really knows, but many speculate that the trend is part boredom, part Photoshop and part lip filters from an app.
I wouldn’t rush to try this out yourself however.
Doctors and estheticians warn that using lip fillers to achieve this look could cause permanent damage. If you want to try it, use a technique that doesn’t harm your actual lips or eyebrows.
What do you think? Cool, or not cool?
