They need to stop hitting themselves in the face with the ugly stick. Holy shit.

Is there a name for this phenomenon for when people start to look inbred due to having all of the terrible plastic surgery? It's like the Habsburg jaw but within a single generation because the deformity wasn't a product of breeding.

Brian Posehn called it "Hot Girl Down Syndrome" several years ago on a special. While I understand that is problematic, it's so spot on it does work as a fantastic shorthand.

My boy posehn got Nickelback all but removed from the airwaves.

I missed this! Spill the tea if you got links.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

You haven't heard about the origin of the Nickelback reveal? Basically Brian posehn made one short little bit. And he had been on stuff before but want (and still isn't) exactly famous. But that one bit went viral back in the day and people were drawn back, analyzed it and realized collectively that he was right and they sucked.

[-] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Haha. Nope, somehow that flew past my radar.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It depends on what you're trying to criticize, and understanding that would take some willingness to learn.

Dead eye expressions and facial expressions = botox. Botox paralyzes. Over time this can ofc cause muscle wasting leading to volume loss.

Once the volume loss sets in, the esthetician recommends hyaluronic acid fillers usually. We naturally have hyaluronic acid in our skin, but older fillers were made of types of hyaluronic acid that were lumpier and harder. Now, we have many new strategies for inserting hyaluronic acid in the face including microneedling which is more diffuse, and fillers that aren't as lumpy and don't migrate as much.

Fillers migrates because when you move your face, you squish the filler and other extracellular fluids around. When your skin and connective tissue is repairing itself well, this is nbd. When we are older, our skin becomes more efficient and so it doesn't repair these fluid pathways as much, doesn't have enough collagen and material to do so. This causes insulin, estrogen, blood supply, etc, to form in pockets (often next to the wrinkle, eg jowls, 11 lines, marionette lines, have bulges around the wrinkle) and also squish away from these compressed areas, leading to more collagen loss and eventually forming wrinkles.

So they paralyze the muscle to avoid that, leading to volume loss... you see where I'm going with this? They put their facial muscles in a vegetative state and then plump the skin above it to look like muscle, accelerating aging and making things a little worse. Although I will say technically hyaluronic acid is supposed to help the skin itself stay young looking and is even a treatment for certain bladder diseases and injuries. It just looks so uncanny valley, especially when they talk, because it's not their natural muscle like we expect.

Then there's looking plastic itself with other procedures, but most people aren't clocking these too much. Tom Brady's recent transformation is a good example, or pretty much any celeb buccal fat surgery is hard for people to clock. Upper blephs are another one that are hard for people to pinpoint, eg Pamela Anderson, Miley Cyrus. And subtle nose jobs are pretty much unclockable for many people too.

I'm trying to criticize basically all of the women Trump goons. Most of them wind up looking like the glamour shot version of "Mob Wives".

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh that's just called MAGA makeup or MAGA face and it's been trending on other socials for a while. Girls have been doing makeup looks making fun of it and asking people to guess. It's been going on for so long the Trump girls have started to try to do it, and then be like, "surprise! I was MAGA the whole time and you didn't know so this trend was stupid!" But the ones going viral are the bad makeup ones where you indeed could tell the whole time, so it's pretty funny. It's like millions of views on these videos, it's been trending.

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lara Trump isn't just a bad makeup job. Kimberly Guilfoyle isn't either. Lara Loomer kinda has it too, and this lady definitely has it.

Kari Lake has the same look going on to an extent...and because they look so awful they get people to shoot them with this weirdo soft lighting.

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, it's filler and muscle wasting, see my original post.

But that's not strictly a MAGA thing, so people tend to not say much about filler face. Or it's seen as too mean to say something.

There's also blurring makeup that has a weird effect on cameras that is being used too.

I'm not sure I need to know the technical details to see the obviously terrible result, but I appreciate the education anyway. It never hurts to become a little more educated. Cheers!

Well, that's what's wrong with their faces. When you all ask "Why do they look like that?" - that's why, even the young ones. If they had their fillers all removed, they'd look like the fucking Crypt Keeper from the lack of muscles- don't you think that's kinda nuts? Now that you know what's happening? Ever seen an emaciated arm from lack of use? That's happening to their faces. And they are covering it with fillers. Ofc they look insane and dead
