224 is a very pretty warm pink and 221 is a vibrant neon hot pink.

224 is more unique to me but both are gorgeous. I am sure both will suit you

Thank you so much for your thoughts and the great swatches! I love them both! 224 is definitely more unique as you note, but I love the vibrancy of 221 too. Both are gorgeous on your skintone! Thank you!

I can't stand it either! It looks like a lipliner moustache and the lip swatches look very jagged. I love the Beauty Professor but she does it all the time too, e.g. her latest post:

Dear me....it IS a lipliner moustache! I love her too, but what is happening?!?

 

[boschicka]

Lipliner moustache! *snort!*

 

[awickedshape]

TBP has been doing that a lot lately. I blame IG trends.

so true

 

[elegant-one]

Is it really a "thing" or is it that they feel that their lips appear too thin?

 

[Monsy]

yes that is why they are doing it. somehow it became acceptable trend like everyone is blind and we can't see how obvious it is

 

[elegant-one]

But...do they see that it looks...umm, not natural

and quite obviously not their lips?! I had no idea this was a trend!

I remember it being huge esp. because of a reality star, though it turned out lip fillers or something were also involved

Kylie Jenner has had a massive influence. It's quite incredible how much lip fillers can alter a person's appearance and how full lips are idealized and promoted on Instagram. I recently saw this and was gobsmacked:

Oh man, I feel blessed...I've always had fuller lips & when I was little my brothers & sisters would tease me & call me "lips" who's laughing now

 

[fur4elise]

that most obvious going over the lip line is killing it for me... sorry i had to say it
I love her product photos but her "face" swatches and makeup looks are always so messy that I lose interest in product instantly. It's good for my wallet tho

Okay...I am glad I am not all alone in my thoughts on this as well. I could never walk around with my lips overdrawn...I would feel clownish...and I know the husband would ask if I had too much wine before putting on my lipstick...

 

[JerseyGirl]

Yeah, they are fooling no one. Just be happy with what you have and don’t make yourself look silly.

Anybody else getting the YSL Chinese New Year blush? I did.

Wow. That is just plain bad, and she doesn't even have thin lips to begin with!
