The new filter — which you can only access if you update the app ughhhh hate when they do that — will plump up the user’s lips while also coating them in a purple gloss. Basically, it’s Juvederm and a Kylie Lip Kit in an app.
Kylie discovered it while getting her makeup done and asked the only appropriate question in a situation like this:
“Are you making fun of me, Snapchat?”
Our guess is that Snapchat isn’t making fun of her, but the filter is definitely Kylie-inspired. Clearly, Snapchat is paying homage to the 2010s’ foremost lip kween. Can we have a Kim K booty filter next? We’re getting sick of face swap.
By the way, if this filter gets you thinking of actual lip injections, educate yourself.

Paris Fashion Week is getting a little more provocative. Tom of Finland Foundation presents Packed for Pleasure, a new group exhibition exploring nearly a century of art, desire and censorship—and the creative ways artists have continued to make and share work when society tells them not to.

Before understanding that she could work in fashion, Maria Braz already understood the power of an image. Music videos, movies, magazines, red carpets, shows. Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna. As a child and teenager, she watched, recreated, dressed up, invented characters, and turned her computer into a set for her own productions.
Fashion week, trend fatigue, relationship scheduling, accidental wellness, and the annual September identity crisis. Maybe nothing is wrong with us. Maybe we’ve just been online too long.
Fashion Week is happening, TikTok discovered something that already existed, Mary-Kate and Ashley left the house, and naturally, I have thoughts. Welcome to NOT THAT SERIOUS.
