people have been doing this forever and i never thought i was a liner girl until just last year i found nyx in Ever is basically the color of my bottom lip and it's just a really flattering pink on me and i love just lining and then just smoothing it out and boom. if my lips are dry ill add a translucent gloss but usually my liner is just enough.
Iāve recently āup-pedā my makeup game and started using lip liners after getting recommendations from friends and @/paloma on TikTok (shes a goddess omg) and tell me why it looks so good ā¼ļøā¼ļø
I took this blurry selfie and ahhh
I am a thin waisted and thin lipped woman. I like being thin waisted but it makes me queasy and sad that I have tiny little lips. My mom thinks my lips are elegant because Marlene Dietrich also had no upper lip but when you google āthin lipped actressā Marleneās just about the only respectable example who pops up. I donāt want plastic surgery because I am an ACTOR and I donāt believe the point of acting is to look beautiful all the time. Ā Actors need to convey all sorts of feelings - of joy and desperation and mania - on their faces! Actors are not models! Ā I could go on about this but Iāll sound stupid, Ā especially when I turn 50 and wind up with a face lift. Anyway, since in my day-to-day life I really do like looking ābeautifulā I use lipliner to give myself an upper lip and change the shape of my mouth completely. Sometimes people donāt recognize me when I donāt have lipliner on, which makes me feel like a real chameleon. The only hard part about painting your face is that it means lots of trips to the bathroom when you first begin dating someone (reapplying between smooches). It is certainly a lot of upkeep. Right now I use Sephora brand lipliner as a base (itās also only 6 dollars!) in ālight brown.ā Then I trace around the edges with a darker shade, Rimmelās Lasting Finish in ācappuccino.ā They discontinued my favorite Kevyn Aucoin one so now when Iām feeling fancy Iāll use Kjaer Weisās lip pencil in ārich.ā I like nudes and browns. Never peach. Never. Peach.
Hi all⦠youāll never catch me not doing my lip liner, on the bus, on the plane, at the bar, at the club, blind drunk, stone cold sober i will be serving linerā¦
