What's the Big Deal about Everyone Wanting Big Lips?

As you all have heard everyone is doing the Kylie Jenner challenge where everyone tries to mimic her voluptuous lips. Teens and young adults around the globe have been sucking on shot glasses and plastic bottles to achieve her famous plump look. I really don't understand why everyone around the world is trying to achieve this look by harming themselves instead of using make-up like Kylie does. It may be fun and games to others but at the same time; it all goes back to history. 65 years ago plump lips were considered ugly in society when America was segregated during that time period. A source states; 

"Being surrounded by a predominately white society I think a lot of people tend to idolize qualities in those in a familiar image, such as white, regardless of where qualities come from."

This statement is somewhat true on some levels on how people idolize others but, at the same time it shows that this trend displays how others bandwagon from famous celebrities. This trend also shows that people give too much credit to others instead of themselves. Everyone should realize that your body is your temple and you have to accept what you have or have the courage to change your appearance. It's your choice but remember; have your own identity.
