ayu´s lips bigger this year you have to recognize

[ayushiteru]

ok watching the pvs (specially in love song and crossroad) ...is very visible that´s ayu´s lips are bigger.... I think that we can finally say that she has collagen.....that´s sad...she´s loosing her identity

[freedreamer]

somehow she looks normal in the lives and makingoffshoots videos though ..

[Cherry Dynamite]

I don't know but I don't think it's collagen lol. I can't say for sure, but I think it's just the way they put lipstick/gloss on her and it can have that effect? I'm not sure though.

Lip gloss + Duck lips pose = ??

Something about her face in general has been odd this year. But, like, I don't know how to explain it, but her cheeks and chin seem more pronounced and it really does look like she has collagen injections x.x

(Honestly, though, with her face, it's probably just due to her aging lol Smoking cigarettes/drinking too probably don't help either)

me agrees.

She's just following the trends anyway...

you know who's popular right now?

Girls with huge pouty lips, like RINKA, Kana, and Chikako.

She could have had collagen injections though...recovery time is not a problem with those at all. She could have gotten them while she had her wisdom teeth pulled lol

BUT that doesn't mean you should underestimate the power of make up combined with photoshop, because...you can seriously change ANYTHING with that combination.

Honestly though it wasn't just this year, I thought around a year and a half to two years ago that her face was looking really different (and not just due to aging), but lately the Love Songs stuff; pv and performances have looked more pronounced.

[lumieregrl]

I think it's the way of applying lip gloss plus photoshop because I've noticed this...look on other women who do not have botox or collagen injections.

[pommy48]

It's just the way the makeup looks

I think they outline her lips with lip liner now~

[Queen Bee]

I'm surprised that this is even being brought up since someone asked Ayu about it on twitter and she flat out said she didn't have time for any kind of procedure. I'm going to try and find the tweet.

Edit: Well the search options keeps failing on me.

lol, like all her fans would see all her tweets.

[love in music]

it's the way her make-up is done. I was watching old lives from 2004 the other day and her lips looked just as big with the lipstick/gloss she had. never underestimate the power of make-up, especially with asians.. they have so many tricks to make their eyes/lips appear bigger without surgery it's unreal.

about her losing her identity.. I don't think so. have you even read the lyrics to any of the songs on her new album?

[truehappiness]

They've just changed the way they do her makeup. It's really subtle sometimes, but it makes a big difference. From year to year, the way they have done her makeup has changed and it has changed her appearance a lot.

Like nowadays they seem to use a lot of eyeliner and mascara along with fake lashes... they used to not use so many, but nowadays they're almost always there. Lip plumper / lip gloss also seems to be used a lot more often and because she seems to pout more, her lips seem larger.

Smoking cigarettes/drinking too probably don't help either

Considering that she's stopped drinking insanely and has been on a "MY VOICE IS SO IMPORTANT" craze with her health products/humidifiers/etc... I think she stopped smoking at some point in 2004 or 2005 and only drinks casually nowadays.

Yeah she doesn`t smoke at all, cause on Twitter she says she hates the smoke from cigarettes. =)

I don`t think she had some botox. But I agree, something with her face is different this year... I think because of wisdom teeth proceedure or something...

Good to hear about the smoking! Ayu really needs to value her voice and treat it well! And of course her overall health...anyway, that's just good news.

Getting your wisdom teeth out shouldn't make any kind of permanent change to your appearance. Yes, they can cause swelling for a few days (I had mine out a few years back btw), but I doubt Ayu would have done filming while suffering from visible swelling. If her face looks a bit thinner, it's probably due to lost weight. Especially considering how busy she is.

Also, I don't think she's had botox either. Or if she has...it was VERY well done. Because her face is still so expressive...I mean look at that wide smile she has in LA fan pictures. Botox basically paralyzes your muscles. Even a small amount of it would show as a kind of restraint in facial movement, if she had it.

cheese and fries!!

I have no idea about this. I thought she never smokes!! o.O

[sanzo2011]

Yes and it's so annoying to watch her new look in Pv and lives !~~!

[Neo Daydream]

age + make-up (possibly collagen) = weird lips

[Sirea]

Let me tell you. I have a serious pet peeve about my lips. I always think they're too small or too weird shaped or too dark or too this or too that. Some days it drives me insane. So I have taken to the use of lip plumper and different shades of lip gloss, and it does make a difference, especially if used liberally.

The only thing Ayu should watch for is that, with most lip plumper, it uses cinnamon which actually irritates the lips, causing them to swell and "plump". Excessive use of lip plumper can cause serious irritation and harsh reactions in and around the lips... so I hope this doesn't happen to her.
